Sadly, Apple, Inc., has discontinued its entire network division. If you want to buy a really compact Router and it will set up your network, this is the one to buy.

I was surprised that this TV produced such a great picture. It had been discounted down to $499, which is crazy. Despite the low price it had everything on it that I needed and the speaker sound from the TV was just fine. If you can get it at this price, it's a steal.

This is a product if you need it, then you have to buy it. Comes in two flavors - a yearly subscription or like this one, you just buy it and it's yours with free updates.

Once you buy a printer for this type of cartridge, this is it. Do not buy a reseller cartridge. Easy to replace and install. Easy. And BestBuy handles the recycle.

How much memory should a new iMac need to run parallels with windows 10?

It really depends on how you are using it. If you are an an avid photographer or graphic artist, you should have 16GB RAM. Frankly, adding more RAM is not expensive,
like $200 more, so yes, more RAM always.

does this computer has extra port for additional internal memory i.e ram

It only has a slot for an HD card. You can add more RAM. There are 4 memory slots with 8GB per slot. You would have to remove at least two of them and put in 16GB cards.

How many total watts does this put out?? Shows 2 different things? How much per channel? And how much rms per channel? Thanks.

95 watts for each channel of which there are seven. The other power rating is for 6 ohm speakers instead of the general 8 ohms.

Today, most manufacturers only list RMS ratings. Denon is one of them.

I'm struggling to get Dolby Atmos sound out of this receiver. I have a new 4K DVD player (Panasonic DMP-UB900). I have my 5.1.2 speakers setup and sounding great on surround sound but can not get the receiver to indicate it is transmitting Dolby Atmos.

I believe you have to have Dolby Atmos speakers.
