I got the Vivofit 2 for a gift so bought the heart rate monitor strap to go with it. First had an issue connecting to my vivofit through the Garmin App so I can add the heart rate monitor to the watch. This is more of a flaw with Garmin software than the actual strap. Once the vivofit re-synced to my samsung phone and added the heart rate tab, it connected automatically.
The strap feels pretty comfortable but it did lose contact one or twice, may be due to adjusting the strap to fit better. I sometimes forget to wear it though, so while I read it's more accurate than fitness watches with HR, it is trade off in convenience.

One of my favorite Christmas movies. We watched this with my 4 year-old son on TV last year and couldn't stand the commercials. So for this past holiday season saw the DVD was on sale and decided to buy it. Disc worked without any problems and it's a great investment for years to come.

I needed to replace my electronic toothbrush heads and had some Best Buy rewards points to catch in so used it on something I really needed! I think Sonicare Replaceable toothbrush Heads are better than the generic brands. Seem to last longer and bristles feel softer. Overall very satisfied with them.

For less than a typical USB laser mouse, you can get this combination keyboard and mouse. Nothing spectacular, the keyboard has soft keys and is actually a little quieter in general, but I've bought a few and simply plugged in without any issues on both WIN 7 and WIN XP machines (no reboot even on XP--but having issues may need to set to input devices to usb in BIOS). Mouse is a little slippery but for general office pint-and-click it does the job.
If you are like me, as I prefer my clients have a couple wires than have to call me urgently needing a couple of batteries (which also adds up), than this is good solution.

I saw this on sale and needed something to transfer music. 32GB is a lot of music, I haven't actually tried to sync to my vehicle yet but did copy maybe couple hundred songs off my computer without any issue. I also do design and was working at Client's office whose wireless was down so it cam in handy transferring files over.
PROS: comes with the key chain ring. and love the red color!
Only downside is easy to lose the cap.

Worked out of the box. Was able to backup and transfer files that I needed and setup a backup schedules on a client's laptop. Ran on both USB 2 and 3, obviously quicker with the latter, but about 40GB so ran fairly quick overall.
While Toshiba is not my first choice, it is still solid for those on a budget or needed something right away.

What's great about it: Great value
Had an older 16GB memory card that I transferred from my HTC phone to newer Galaxy 4s phone. Was fine then all of a sudden, after about a month, could not find / read memory card! Luckily, all my pics and video were still on the card, (which now gets backed up HIGHLY RECOMMEND), but I saw Best Buy had these on sale so decided to get the extra memory and speed. Installed easily and works great. Great Deal. If you do any video recording, better off with class 10.

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: A little bulky
I know there are a few cheaper battery backup companies, but I've been using APC since the late 1990s and I just need something to support a small office networking equipment (modem, router, switch) plus adding a n additional NAS drive. The 600Va was a much better value than the 550 or 450, as the extra voltage / battery life and outlets are worth the price.
My only complaint is it;s not one of the new "sleek" models with LED, but wasn't really necessary. Just more of aesthetics.

how can i get my 2gb to 4gb on dell optiplex 755?

Buy 2 2gb Ram Chips. If you happen to have one slot free than you only need one. You can run a scan on crucial.com and it will tell you as well as what RAM to buy.

Ram Upgrade?

I currently own an Asus K30AD_M31AD_M51AD with a Nvida GeForce GTX750 with a 2TB hard drive space.Over all ther computer is amazing for live streaming and recording except with only 12GB of ram I will get kicking from some games during because I dont have enough.What brand of memory would be best for gaming?I'm looking for about 16GB because currently I think that is what my desktop is capable of going to.
Without looking up your motherboard I would suggest get the fastest RAM available (usually manufactures will also specify for gaming) and just know computers process in parallel mode so best to have exact same memory modules. i.e 4 4GB or 2 8GB

Go to crucial.com and run the scan memory tool. It will notify you what your machine / motherboard can take and which DIMMS to buy. I think Kingston does it too but I'm long time user in crucial, back when they were Micron!

I have a Gateway GT5676...

I have a Gateway GT5676 and it has 4g RAM...can I increase that amount or is that about it? My problem is that I'm a gamer and despite having a pretty good system, I'm getting killed with lag issues. I have a high speed modem, ATI Radeon HD4850 card, AMD 9600 Quad-Core processor and I can't figure out how to solve this issue. My performance score is 5.9 and that is apparently a result of my hard drive. My other scores are 6.9 - 7.3 .

Extending range of wireless N router

I have a wireless router in my basement where my Internet cable comes in. I have Ethernet extending out of the router for the Ethernet ports around the house. My second floor doesn't get good wireless coverage from the basement so I added another router off the end of the Ethernet outlet up there. The upstairs router has it's own SSID and is essentially a different network. Is there a way to have that upstairs router just be an extension of the primary router so we have consistent coverage all over the house?
You can purchase any number of WiFi range extenders, but i've had the best success with wall plug-in extenders. Basically convert the Ethernet data into electrical signal so goes through electrical wires in your house.
