I bought the 11 outlet surge protector to help me organize my workspace device overload. Now I can have everything plugged in, only use the devices I need at any given moment, and turn every item totally off (no power using sleep mode nonsense) with the flip of a single switch. Life just got simpler.

I purchased the steering wheel interface along with a Kenwood digital screen radio/disc player/backup camera (pioneer camera). The Maestro interface works perfectly with the new equipment and gives me the same control over the radio that originally came with my 2005 4 Runner.

The guys at Best Buy did a great job installing a new Kenwood in dash radio coupled with a backup camera. They made sure the radio could be controlled from the original steering wheel buttons and that the backup camera was accurately positioned to give me a true backup image. Totally happy with the installation job, very clean and professionally done.

I bought the Metra Dash Kit as part of having a new Kenwood radio installed in my 2005 4 Runner. Both the radio and the dash kit look like original equipment and blend in nicely.

We chose the Pioneer backup camera as an add-on to a Kenwood in dash radio that was purchased at the same time. Very happy with the image quality both in daylight and at night. It makes getting out of tight spots much easier.

This Kenwood radio gets better reception and produces better sound quality than the factory installed radio/CD player that came with my 4 Runner. We chose to add-on a backup camera as well and are very happy with the image quality. It makes getting out of tight spots much easier. The Best Buy installers also did a great job.

Rather than a tray that pops out this unit has a slot that you insert the disc into. Just one less thing to break as I see it. I burn about 20 CDs a week. Out of the box the drive works flawlessly. I won't know how durable it is until I've used it for a couple of years.

It was time to replace my 7 year old Dell Notebook. I travel a lot with work and needed something fairly compact with a really good screen. I'm not a gamer, just use Office and a few other apps. The HP has lived up to my expectations. It is faster than my old computer and the screen is great. The tablet mode works well, slightly heavy but much better than the 2 in 1 notebooks where you flip the screen over and have your keyboard upside down underneath where it will get lots of abuse. I wish it had three USB ports instead of two and an internal DVD drive, but all in all it was the best configuration available to me for the money. Upgrading to Windows 10 over the Internet was fairly painless. Time will tell how well it holds up.

If one (or more) outlet(s) were to fail, what indications indicate that?
This unit replaces another strip whose 6 outlets failed to function, yet there was no failure indication provided by that other brand to save me the time-consuming effort to determine why I lost power to those six items (including two computers, a monitor, etc. My question is based on how best to diagnose what is wrong, should an outlet fail in the future.
The only solution is to test each outlet with a device you know works, a lamp would be my choice since they turn on instantly or with a current tester. No electronic device lasts forever, though a surge suppressor should last for several years under normal circumstances. I have seen them blown by lighting strikes or unusually high power spikes due to major electrical work in your area.

Is it mandatory to enable the 4G LTE service in order to get this price?
Would like to purchase this device but not subscribe to Verizon or any service, just use it on wi-fi.
You have to pay $50 more to buy it separate from a contract with Verizon.

How good are the speakers?
I think the speakers are great compared to other notebook computers. They are located under the screen where they project well instead of in the keyboard base.

Possibly, it uses a SIM card just like a smart phone. Ask your provider if they have a SIM card for this unit.

How do I reinstall my broadband adapter?
How do I reinstall my broadband adapter? One of the Windows Updates removed the adapter and I have gone back to all of the previous Restore Points and the Adapter will not reinstall. It shows installed but the error says the device is not connected to the computer. How does it get reconnected?
Go the HP support website and reinstall the latest drive for your broadband adapter.

GoPro - HERO4 Silver Action Camera - Silver
GoPro HERO4 Silver Action Camera: Capture footage of your adventures in stunning 4K video with the GoPro 4. GoPro's wearable, mountable design with touch-screen controls makes it easy to capture the action from your unique first-person perspective. Plus built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow you to operate the camera controls and share your videos and still shots.
How Effective Would Using the GoPro be to record footage as a 3rd base coach in baseball?
I enjoy capturing my son's baseball footage and usually do so with a camcorder on the sideline. This season, I may help the team out as a base coach. Would the GoPro work with a chest harness?
The GoPro should work as well as or better than any other camcorder. Its small size and the availability of a lot of different mounts should meet your needs just fine.
