The USB 3.0 7-Port HUB allows up to seven USB 3.0 devices to be connected simultaneously at a transmission speed of 5 Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and 1.1 (12 Mbps) devices. It works with high-bandwidth SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices, such as an external disk drive, high-resolution webcam, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smartphones, tablets and iPad.
7 Port USB Hub Works Well

The hub works well. Most plug in accessories do not need the unit to have the separate, included power supply hooked up, but some accessories do.

Bought this season 1 though 6 package so that I can go back into prior years installments to see what I might have missed the first time through and to reacquaint myself with the development of the characters over the years. Rewatching the yearly installments over a period of a couple of weeks instead of seeing them over a period of six years was very helpful in understanding the ever twisting plot development.

Unit hooked up to a Sony 46" 3D capable TV. Unit replaced an older Sony DVD player which began to freeze constantly. The new DVD player played DVDs that the older one was not able to without freezing. The remote control seems cheaply made. Was easy to hook unit to my home wifi network. Miss not having a visible "progress clock" on the unit.

Good, Relatively Inexpensive Laptop
Customer Rating
4.0
Purchased this laptop to use mainly as an excercise DVD player for a club's exercise classes. Wanted an inexpensive device that could suffer the wear and tear of daily class usage by numerous people in a not too friendly location. This laptop fit the requirements and is operating satisfactorily. The Intel I3 chip can be overworked with numerous applications operating or with a demanding video game, but that was not the intended use for this machine

Bought this case to replace an Apple product which provided little or no corner protection for my IPad. iPads do not "like" to be dropped on their corners.... inspected more than a half dozen IPod cases at Best Buy and this one offered by far the best all around protection for a "soft case." Have had no issues with the case to date

Customer Rating

Speaker performs well as s personal external speaker. However, at its maximum volume, it is not loud enough at more than 8 feet distance or so, especially with any background noise. It did not fill my intended needs. Bough a larger wireless rechargeable Brookstone speaker unit which more suited my requirements. Did not test water resistant feature.

SanDisk - Extreme PLUS 32GB SDHC UHS-I Memory Card
The SanDisk Extreme PLUS SDHC UHS-I Memory Card delivers performance that lets you take control of your creativity. With shot speeds of up to 60MB/s and UHS speed Class 3 (U3) recording, you’re ready to capture stunning high-resolution, stutter-free 4K UHD video. The memory card also delivers up to 90MB/s transfer speeds so you can quickly move your photos where you want them. Built to withstand weather, water, shocks and other less-than-ideal conditions so you can rest assured that it’s good to go wherever you go.
I put this card right into the camera, and it said it was unable to accept. So, I tried formatting w/ the cam to no progress. I tried the same in my iMac, and same issue. Any ideas on how I can get my money's worth with it? Other cards work in both!
I got the same notification as did you when inserting the memory card into a relatively new Sony camera. The camara however did offer a method to format the memory card. I followed the suggested method and it worked. If you can't get it to work, bring the camera into a camera store and ask them for help, or go to the camera brand's web help site.

Sony - 2.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer - Black
With a Bluetooth interface and NFC (near-field communication) technology, this Sony HTCT780 soundbar allows you to wirelessly link with compatible devices, simplifying audio streaming. A wireless subwoofer delivers bold bass for full-spectrum sound.
what are the main differences between the htct770 and 780?
Having trouble finding the difference between the 770 and 780. Please help?
I have both a 770 and a 780 unit. I prefer the 770 unit . To me, the 770 unit has a richer "basier" sound. Also, the remote control for the 780 unit compared to that provided with the 770 unit is a piece of junk and has significantly less utility. If I could, I would trade in the 780 unit for a 770 unit.
