What's great about it: Fits both notebook and desktop sata drives
What's not so great: power button fails after a while
I've had a couple of these now, and eventually the power button wears out - as it won't stay on.
Opening it and taping it down permanently works in a bind - but needs a better button.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: When it worked, fast, touch screen easy to use.
What's not so great: When updated, becomes useless.
Bad luck with this model.
This is the 2nd touchsmart (first was a 320-1030, which works great)
This one however, was damaged upon arrival. Had to "Return" it, and reorder a new one.
2nd one appear fine, installed all programs, then ran the HP updates, including firmware.
Once the updates/firmware update, it broke the USB port that is hidden in the back for the wireless receiver. So i had to move it to a different USB, works again. not *that* big of a deal, but definitely an annoyance.
Then I noticed when it goes to sleep, it will not resume - no matter how many times you press the power or how long you press it for. Worked perfect before updates. The only way to get it back is to disconnect power cord, then it will resume normally. Huge annoyance.
Then the biggest problem - it broke the touchscreen! The screen was no longer a touchscreen. I hadn't notice because I don't normally need to use it, but when I went to try out one of the games again - I realized the monitor was now just a monitor. Talked to HP and they wanted me to ship it to them...really? 2 days after buying it I have to wait 7-10 days to fix it?
Returning this model and buying a different one.
If you do buy it, don't run any HP updates - especially the firmware.
This product is... Easy to set up and is lightning fast, great until you upgrade firmware

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung - SmartThings Item Tracker - White
Secure yourself, a loved one or valuables with this smart, versatile Samsung SmartThings tracker. Its geo-fencing feature triggers smart home automations or alerts you when a pet or person who has it leaves or enters your designated zone. Double-press the button of this IP68-rated Samsung SmartThings tracker to notify authorized persons of your current location.
So I am in need of a gps tracker for my husband who has dementia. I want something user friendly for the technically challenged. Something I can put on his key chain that would notify me if he leaves the home,
This should work for you, the initial "setup" is the most difficult in which you have to setup the "Home" zone, and it will alert you (via the app) that the device has left the zone. You will want to charge the device every few days.

Two quick questions. Is the lanyard long enough to fit around a man's neck? He won't remember to put it on but if I could put it around his neck he won't leave without it. Is it water proof. Can he shower in it?
The included lanyard is NOT long enough to fit around a neck of any size person or animal. You would want to just buy a separate lanyard that would be big enough.
The device is listed with an IP68 rating, and this is what that means according to Samsung: "Devices backed by an international standard rating of IP68 are deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to thirty minutes."
That tells me it should be okay to use it in the shower.

Does this include a cord to connect the speakers to a monitor? Like an audio jack?
Yes, it comes with audio jack to connect to computer. If your monitor has built in speakers and an audio jack, you can connect them to it.

I have the Samsung ONE CONNECT box. Optical to electrical converter per say. What port of the SAMSUNG ONE Connect do i hook up to the Sonos Beam? What are the available ports of the Sonos Beam?
You can only connect to the beam with an HDMI cable. It does come with an optical to HDMI converter for older TV's/receivers.

I have a 2008 Samsung without a Arc hdmi. What is the best way to use the beam for both streaming amazon music and tv audio without any receiver/amp.
The Sonos Beam comes with an optical to HDMI converter. Assuming your TV does have optical, you can simply use that. Music streaming you connect via your phone (Android/Iphone) using the amp, and it sounds great.
