Works great for printing photos at home. Seems like standard photo paper. Not sure there is anything better out there, but this package seems good enough.

I purchased this keyboard and mouse combo for use at work. Our main SAP-like program utilizes the function keys for many tasks and this keyboard unfortunately has small F keys that also do not stick up very far. It is difficult to quickly hit the top keys without thinking about it. Other than this specific issue the keyboard and mouse are comfortable. Personally I prefer the Logitech K520/M310 combo I have at home. If this wasn't a deal of the day I probably wouldn't have tried it in the first place.

Bought this drive to replace a still working 5400 rpm drive on my mom's computer. Easy installation. I used a USB to Serial ATA adapter to copy the existing hard drive to the new one. Swapped the drives in the computer and booted up. Other than the speed increase, which is great, you wouldn't know the hard drive was changed. For a clean install you can just swap the drives and boot from your OS media.

This is my go-to coffee. I drink it almost exclusively in my Kuerig brewer. I think it tastes very similar, if not exactly like Dunkin Donuts coffee. If you like Dunkin, give this a try.

Overall this worked out very well. It included some darker roast coffees that I don't normally drink, but I did try each of them and enjoyed the variety. It also included a sleepy time tea which my girlfriend enjoys. If you mainly purchase the same coffee over and over each time like I do, this is a great way to add some variety for guests, or just to sample some k-cups you haven't tried before.

This keyboard is a perfect basic option. It doesn't include all of the "bonus" media buttons of more expensive keyboards, but if you just need something to input your letters and numbers this is the right choice. It was recognized during boot up without any drivers and helped me get a spare computer up and running for my mom.

This combo offers everything I need day to day. It quickly connected to the wireless receiver without installing any software. I did however install the software afterwards and it offers the ability to switch between multiple wireless keyboards and mice if you have more than one. The keyboard includes all of the expected keys, plus a few media buttons (play/pause, previous, next and volume up/down, and mute.) You can't go wrong with this option.

We took this camera to Disney for a 10 day trip and it not only held up to my three kids all under the age of 8 poking and grabbing along the way, but it also took great pictures along the way. Great zoom and very durable.

I bought this case for my girlfriend to replace a similar case. It is a basic case but adds some protection if the phone is dropped. I would recommend if you are looking for something to give you a little buffer if the phone is dropped.

I purchased my Chromebook mainly for browsing the web. It does this extremely well. I can check email, update Facebook and pretty much anything else I want to do. I can watch Netflix movies and if you have a Chromecast you can also display the Chromebook's screen and audio on your connected tv. Using Google Drive you can create free word documents and spreadsheets. Using the free Chrome remote desktop app I can also connect to my Windows laptop over my Wi-Fi or over the internet when I am on the road and need access to WIndows although I haven't needed this because most of what I do is web-based already which the Chromebook does exceptionally. The only downside is the unit is not extremely powerful so there are times it bogs down a bit when I have multiple tabs open, but it is only occasionally and is to be expected in this price range. Overall I would definitely urge you to consider this product. As a secondary unit this is perfect. As a primary unit you may want to make sure it is compatible with everything you do, but for most people I imagine it would. I have not tested the unit extensively without internet access, so I can not speak to potential limitations when not connected.

Do any of the Chromebooks offer provision to use a larger monitor?

Yes, the HP Pavilion 11.6" Chromebook has an optional adapter that allows you to connect an HDMI cable to the micro USB charging port. This would allow output to a TV or HDMI compatible monitor. The port is called a "slimport".

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.
