What's great about it: Works, has nice upconversion on HDMI
What's not so great: a little disc noise on startup
I wanted to get a simple DVD player (not ready for BlueRay yet) to replace an one that was starting to have troubles, and couldn't upconvert.
This was actually hard to find - everyone seems to want BlueRay now and that's nearly all that's available, and the players cost a little more. We don't own any BlueRay discs, and can't see paying more for them - the regular DVD is really great resolution - at least for our eyes!
So, this is compact, easy to setup, does HDMI to our new screen (720p), and the two devices seem to negotiate the picture size really well so it fills the screen as best it can, whatever the aspect ratio of the source, without distortion. The upconversion is lovely - very sharp and clear. Motion is smooth.
I'm a "casual" movie watcher, but my wife (whom this is for, really) is avid - usually a movie every night.
This product has... Great DVD upconversion, Good connection options, Easy to use controls
About me... Budget Conscious, Casual movie watcher, Avid movie watcher, Love to stream movies
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Reliable, reasonably fast, easy setup
What's not so great: Older technology
Got this to replace a very similar modem that Comcast was charging rent for. It works very well (so far) - no complaints.
This is only a DOCSIS 2 modem, but that's not really a problem - in our area the DOCSIS 3 is only marginally faster. The date on the ROM is 2004 - eight years old. But I think of that as a good thing - it works, and has been working for a long time.
Installation was way easier than I thought (Comcast). I was replacing a similar modem (which I packaged up and hand delivered to the local Comcast store) - I was dreading calling up their tech support line, but it was a breeze - though a slow breeze. While I was waiting on hold I just tried turning it on and logging in - hey! - it figured everything out and in about a minute I was up - all by itself! When the Comcast technician came back on the line she was all confused because the line was already up.
I'm getting better than 20Mbits download and a 15ms ping. That's good enough for now - a little faster than the old (same model) modem. A friend with the DOCSIS 3 modem gets 30Mbits - not all that much better, at least in our area.
This product has... Fast connection, Secure connection, Easy to set up, Reliable connection

I would recommend this to a friend!

HP - K3500 Wireless Keyboard for Pavilion - Black
Type documents with this HP wireless keyboard. It has Windows 8 shortcuts to save time completing tasks, and Link-5 wireless technology lets you connect up to five HP devices. This HP wireless keyboard has a range of 30 feet, so you can work from a distance and still control your laptop.
 

What is the size of hp wireless laptop K3500

It's just a wireless keyboard - usable with either a laptop or a tower. It's reasonably compact - about 16.5 inches wide by 5.25 deep, maybe 0.75 tall? No wasted space, but has a numeric keypad.
