I got this for someone that was tired of buying ink cartridges every other time she printed (not very often so they would often dry up). Having years worth of toner that won’t dry up was the deciding factor for switching to a laser printer especially since this was on sale for the price of a few ink cartridges. Setup was easy and could be done for a variety of connections (USB, Ethernet, WiFi, or direct WiFi). The software was easy to understand and has just enough functionality to be usable without being confusing or overwhelming.

I bought this for a user that wanted a larger screen so glasses would not be needed for checking email and surfing the Internet; mission accomplished! Since it is “only” 1080p resolution everything tends to be larger than average because it is covering 27 inches. The connections were adequate and the screen is bright we we have no complaints.

I’ve setup two of these sets in large homes and they are an excellent product. Setup was easy and guided by the app on a phone, once configured range and speed were amazing. The mesh network is seamless and I have not experienced a single problem or frustration with these at all.

I traded in an old router expecting to use this on a Google WiFi product but after being issued the coupon I read that it was an exploded brand along with Apple and maybe a few others... disappointing to say the least. I was able to use it on a cable modem so it wasn’t a total waste.

Install was a breeze, the hardest part was calling Comcast/Xfinity to update the MAC and tell us where to return their device. For clarity this is only a modem and does not provide a Wifi network.

I've been happy with several previous versions of Western Digital Passports, this is no exception. Simple plug and play "setup", basic design, no problems. Transfer speeds were limited by my user's USB2 connection so performance was not a concern. This is not the smallest unit available but small enough for my needs and offers some level of protection in exchange.

Other than the inflated price (almost double a major home improvement chain) these were what I needed and they were in-stock at my local store. My device required this size and so far they are working fine, only (a lot of) time will tell if longevity is an issue.

I bought these to listen to music and take calls while working. My biggest problem at first was that they kept getting pulled out of my ear until I found the best fitting (included) silicone tip and the clips to go around my ear. I also switched from behind my neck to under my chin for the wire. Audio quality and battery life are good enough for me.

Durability doesn't seem as good as 4/4S but the feel and protection are great... while they last. With so few belt-clip cases that protect the phone I hope Otterbox can improve. I had one that started peeling and separating where the clip rubbed after a few months. I replaced it after a while with another one that started stretching, eventually one corner wouldn't stay on correctly and it was replaced. 2 years+ and my phone still looks almost brand new. I've mastered the art of clipping and sanding the belt-clips to remove the STUPID sharp stand clip that jabs into your side if you ever bump the phone or sit in a chair with arms... or seat belts... or padding... or sometimes just a back.

I bought this for my boss, he liked it but got frustrated with the one-way nature of the mute switch. You can easily mute the phone but getting it back to normal was nearly impossible with the case on. Audio was "acceptable" but noticeably not as good as the plain phone.

Performance Mouse MX

Why doesn't the mini usb plug fit into the mouse?
If you are using the micro USB cable provided just make sure it is face-up and going straight in. The port is somewhat skewed due to the shape of the front.

 Samsung - EVO 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card
Samsung - EVO 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card
Store plenty of media files and other data on this Samsung MB-MP32DA/BBY microSD memory card, which features a 32GB capacity for generous storage space. The Class 10 design ensures rapid transfer speeds.
 

What are the different classes I see and what will work best with windows 7,8,and 8,1?

The class is a measure of data transfer speed. Compatibility with Windows is determined by the reader you use so see try to get more info on that. In general SD cards are broken down into SD (<2GB), SDHC (4-32GB), SDXC (64GB+) so if your reader can read one 32GB card it should do fine with another but there may be a maximum size that it can communicate with i.e. it may not be able to use a 64GB card even if it is from the same manufacturer and series as a 32 it has no problems with.
