I gave these to my girlfriend for her birthday and she is really enjoying them. The sound is good, especially for their size. She has used them at the gym as well and says they stay firmly in her ear and didn't fall out while moving around. She uses them with an Apple phone. They are supposed to work with any Bluetooth device, but you can tell the experience of setup and use is much more streamlined if you are using an Apple device.

I bought these to use at the gym. I have Bose QC35 headphones, but didn't want to damage them when I got sweaty at the gym. The Sony headphones are comfortable and sound pretty good. Hopefully they hold up for at least a year, but time will tell.

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 just because you have to install the software prior to using the device. It also comes on a CD and the computer I was working with only has USB ports, so I had to go to the website and get the installation file. Not a big deal, but a short link in the instructions to do that would have been helpful. Otherwise the device works fast and was a cheaper option than a new computer when the wireless board in the laptop failed.

I have many of the Hue lights in my home and these work as well as all of them. One thing I don't like about the Hue app is you can only assign a light to one group. This is normally not an issue, but I like to assign multiple groups to one command so I can turn multiple groups off at night before bed. The workaround for this is to use the lights with Amazon Echo. The Alexa app allows one light to be assigned to multiple groups. This allows me to have a light in "living room" and also "upstairs" at the same time. Other than that you can't go wrong.

This is a great way to charge four joy-cons at the same time. Can be hooked up to a USB power adapter and placed on a coffee table. Much easier than hooking on to the Switch unit behind the TV which is also limited to two controllers at a time. More Mario Kart 8!

You can't beat these for the price. I mostly use them in my TV remotes and wireless keyboard and mice. They seem to last just as long as other brands.

These wheels are a must have if you own Mario Kart 8. I'm an adult with pretty large hands and these wheels make the single joy-con much more comfortable. I wish the wheels were a little larger, but they are perfectly sized for kids and people with smaller hands. My nieces love using them since it feels like real driving (to someone who hasn't driven a car).

This kit includes a USB to SATA cable and CD-ROM with data transfer software. This kit is intended for computers with a current working hard drive that needs replaced because it is beginning to fail, is too small, etc. If you can't boot your computer now you may not need this cable. It will not copy a hard drive that is not working. So assuming your hard drive is working the following will apply. Starting with the cable, this allows you to connect your new hard drive to your computer using a USB cable. The included software comes on CD-ROM, but if you don't have a CD-ROM drive you can download the same software for free from the company's website and run it from your old hard drive, or USB thumb drive. You can use the software in the operating system, or boot to the cloning software (advanced user method). The software walks you through a few basic questions and begins copying. Plan on about 30 minutes per 100GB to finish copying. This may be more or less depending on your system, but is about average for the many times I have done this. Once the software finishes the copy, turn off your computer, install the new hard drive inside the computer and turn the computer on. It should boot up like nothing happened, except a speed increase if coming from an HDD. Format or encrypt (more secure, scrambles all data) your old hard drive before disposal.

Windows Starter 7 upgrade
I have Windows 7 Starter and want to upgrade as far forward as possible and as efficiently as possible. Is there an upgrade I can purcahse to go directly from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Ultimate and also from Vista SP1 to Windows 7 Ultimate. It would be great if this is one DVD with several seats so if I purcahse of destop to go along with the laptop and netbook I could apply this. Thanks.
On the computer with Windows 7 Starter you can go to the control panel and click on "System" from there you should see a link to "Get more features with a new edition of Windows 7" This will allow you to purchase the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.
As for the Windows Vista you will need to find a Windows 7 disc or Windows 8 upgrade disc. Most of the Windows 7 discs are OEM versions which means Microsoft does not offer support if you encounter problems during installation. For beginners this is probably not a good option.
As far as using one DVD to upgrade multiple systems you can only use one license key per system so each system will need a purchased key to be upgraded.
