Not the top of the line webcam available, but really, it's a webcam, do you really need more than 720p quality?

The best laptop I've had in years, AND the only laptop I've used that works well with Windows 8 and 10!
There is only 1 USB port (tech two, there is one on the charger) so I recommend getting a small USB hub. I bought a 4 port IXCC hub which powers external HDs.

It comes with Windows 8, but unfortunately we needed Windows 7, which is doable - but the laptop is incredibly slow on it. Not entirely sure if it would be any faster on Windows 8/10.

This particular model seems to be slightly brighter than the previous generation (W2071d) - but still a great monitor.

I love my FitBit Charge,so I knew my girlfriend would like this "smaller" version.
Complaints: Unlike the Charge, you can't see the battery level on it (but you can in the app) and the charging cable is different (in both size and length) from the Charge. I was hoping we could use the same cable but unfortunately, we cannot.

What's great about it: USB slots
What's not so great: Orientation of plugs
Since the plugs are facing each other, plugging in cables can be difficult depending on the size of the cable. Only 1 power brick or 2 with covering another plug.

What's great about it: Really works well in protection from water and shock (Drops)
What's not so great: Slightly pricey, rubber wears out after a year.
I'm on my 3rd LifeProof case - I've had one since the minute I bought my iphone 4s. Unfortunately, the rubber material eventually wears off (especially if you put it in jeans pockets) after almost a year. My first one i replaced because it was dropped from my motorcycle, going 55mph, and phone was in perfect condition, but the case took a beating. 2nd all the rubber wore off - I did use the warranty and they did send a replacement for the front, but by the time back wore off, warranty expired. So now I'm on my 3rd, and since I'm planning to keep my iphone4s for a while, the LifeProof is essential to keep my phone safe from any damage!
This product has... Easily fits in pocket/purse, A no slip grip, Tough/durable, good fit
I would recommend this to a friend!

 NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port
NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port
NETGEAR Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender: Broaden your network connection with a range extender that gives you extra Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Smart LED indicators will direct you to the optimal location to plug the extender into the wall, so you can easily enjoy improved range and speed on your mobile and wired devices. Save on data usage by connecting your smartphone or tablet to your home network.
 

Cabled Use?

My cabled network has drops on both far ends of the house. Since this has an Ethernet jack, can I connect it to my switch on the opposite side of the house to extend my wireless network's range?
No, this is the opposite of what you are describing. This device provides a wireless network drop for you - from an already existing wifi connection.

What you're looking for is basically another wireless router, not an extender.
