This folio case is almost perfect for my use with the iPad Air. I only wish it had a flap or snap or magnetic closure. But considering the price, I'm very pleased.

Tried an Android tablet and, being an iPhone user, I just couldn't get used to that operating system. So I returned that and got my iPad. I found this iPad Air easy to set up, easy to use, and perfect for my needs (and a few new thing I hadn't even realized were available!). So happy!!

Quicken Premier 2015 - Upgraded because I had to..

Quicken requires its users to upgrade every 2-3 years, so I did. There were some minor glitches after the installation (duplicate accounts, register printing issues), but I figured it out with the online Quicken support. All in all, I really like Quicken (I've been using it for many, many years), and while this version doesn't have any new "bells and whistles" that I can't live without, it does offer the Mobile & Alerts function for use with an iPhone, which I suppose could be especially useful those who use it. I just wish Quicken wouldn't require upgrades so often.

What's great about it: Caller ID, ability to store contacts
What's not so great: Does not have an "in use" light
I have a similar model which was purchased 10 years ago and I am so happy with it (it's still being used in the kitchen), that I bought this one for use in the garage when my old "corded" phone finally died. The only difference is that the other model has an "in use" light on it, so you know if someone is on another phone. But it's not a big deal to me, so I give this phone a 5-star rating because it does what it is supposed to do and its predecessor is so reliable. No fancy bells and whistles, but I wasn't looking for any!

What's great about it: Decent picture, good sound, easy to set up, good price, easy to move
What's not so great: It's not a "smart TV"
The old tube TV finally bit the dust -- a heavy monster that outlived itself! This Sharp TV is used in the "bonus" room and works great. It is only hooked up to the co-ax cable (no set-top box) and picks up plenty of channels. And it doesn't weigh so much that I can't carry it to another room if need be. It was on sale, so the price was right. Would have liked a "smart" TV, but didn't want to spend the extra money. I can always hook up my Chromecast (also sold at Best Buy). The sound quality is surprisingly good (given that most new TV's don't have the best sound quality). There is one added Bonus that many TVs I looked at did not have -- it has a plug for a headset or speaker. This TV is a "Best Buy Exclusive" product, so if you're interested, look no further!
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control, usb port, plug-in for headset or speaker

What's great about it: Price, ease of use, performance
What's not so great: Nothing that I know of
I needed a network cable that was longer than the one that came with my router. I only needed one, but the special purchase price for 2 made this a sweet deal! Works as intended. I don't see much speed difference between the cat 5 and the cat 6, but that's probably more related to my internet service than the cable itself. But at 14' long, this cable served my needs.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, good price, saves me money on my monthly cable bill
What's not so great: Nothing, so far
I did my research and purchased this item to save money on my monthly cable bill. Installation was easy, and after calling Time Warner to have them configure it to their specifications, I was up and running in no time! Still have to keep the Time Warner modem for my landline, but now there is no charge. This product will pay for itself before the end of the year! I did some speed tests after setting it up and I'm getting good speeds (I have TimeWarner Turbo internet service). Hope this review helps others make a decision.

What's great about it: It's compact and attractive, blends nicely
What's not so great: Ice needs to be crushed before putting it in the blender
I was looking for a blender with a small footprint to use for making protein shakes. I didn't want to spend $100 on a blender and the small $14.99 blenders at other stores didn't look very sturdy. The Cuisinart SmartPower 32-Oz. Blending/Chopping System fit my needs (and my budget) perfectly. I love the look of this blender (chrome and black combination) and it fits in beautifully in my kitchen. It's small enough that I can pack it in my suitcase and take it on vacation, too! My only comment would be that you need to break up ice cubes before putting them in the blender -- otherwise, they can cause it to jam. Other than that, it comes with 4 blending jars (with lids) and a chopping cup (with lid) and it a very welcome addition to my kitchen!

I have an Acer S271HL and when I try to upgrade to the new Windows 10 it tells me my display is not compatible with windows 10 and to contact the manufacturer. I have tried on the Acer website to get an answer and cannot get through. That's why I want to know for sure if this one will actually be compatible with Windows 10?
I am running Windows 10 with this monitor. You may have to adjust the resolution settings, but it should work.
