Nice picture & a very user-friendly remote are the selling points here.
Plenty of the necessary jacks for accessorizing w/speakers/TV-Cable boxes/ETC...
Audio is more than sufficient without resorting to using external speakers.
This is an entry-level Smart TV Set,& you should be able to find it for a decent price,where available.

Flagship Features in a Value-Priced Phone
Customer Rating

This phone caught my eye as a TODAY'S DEAL,only $39.99 & that was for a brand-new phone,not a refurbished or,open-box item.
Any ANDROID phone is worth $40,However,this one has features seen only on phones 10X the price.
An I-R Remote Control Blaster on a $40 phone is unheard of,it's worth the price for this feature alone.
Whether you're looking for a value-priced phone,a 2nd/back-up phone,LOOK NO FURTHER.
This phone shares a lot of the features found on the LG OPTIMUS G PRO,but,in a smaller package.
Internal storage is somewhat limited,but,most of that can be overcome by using an SD CARD in the slot provided.
Otherwise,this is by far the best value I've come across for a smartphone.

Extra Battery Kit for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Cell Phones
Keep your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 cell phone at the ready with this Samsung kit that includes a 3220 mAh battery and a battery charger, so you can keep a spare battery on hand for when you need it. An LED indicator keeps you apprised of charge status.
Convenient Back-Up Power
Customer Rating
5.0
While the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4 is a very power-efficient phone,there are several instances where this extra battery kit is nice to have around.
1) Forget to charge-up the phone overnight
2) The power user,where no phone will last all day.
3) Some insurance of extra power while on the road,power failure,etc.....
1) Forget to charge-up the phone overnight

3) Some insurance of extra power while on the road,power failure,etc.....
This is a lightweight item to carry in a gym bag/purse/etc.. or keep in the glovebox/etc,,,
It's the exact same battery that comes w/the phone,takes about 2-2.5 hrs to charge from 10% to 100%.
Well worth the price of admission for the peace of mind that back-up power provides.

Case for HTC One (M8) Cell Phones - Translucent
Shield your HTC One (M8) cell phone from scratches and scuffs with this HTC 63-2841-05-BB case that features a hard shell design for durable defense. A screen protector is included for additional peace of mind.

What's great about it: Not much at all
What's not so great: Uneven fit,no edge protection
Other than providing some backside scuff protection,I cannot recommend this case.
The fit on the front side along the edges/bezel is uneven,so,you cannot place the phone face-down w/o the screen touching the table surface/etc......
Very little/no protection at all on the top & bottom bezel.
The design is OK,but,the quality/fit/ renders this case virtually useless.
Take a pass & get something else.

What's not so great: A bit more time is needed for cleaning,but,not bad.
Wasn't really looking for another coffee maker until this popped-up on Deal-Of-The-Day for $19.99.
The insulated carafe puts this one over the top vs most that have a glass carafe & warming plate.
Brews at the perfect temperature.
Also comes w/a stainless steel strainer vs using a paper filter.I like this,even w/the added time it takes to rinse off the coffee grounds,not to mention the savings on buying filters.

What's great about it: Just about everything
What's not so great: Would like to have a physical camera button.
Great all-around phone.One nice added benefit of the SPRINT version of this phone is the ability to use voice & data simultaneously while on 3G.For the most part,this benefit was available only on GSM phones(AT&T/T-MOBILE/INT'L PHONES).
One can't ever have enough battery life,although this phone is decent in that catergory.However,I've elected to use a lager capacity extended battery to attain longer phone life between charges.This option shouldn't be taken lightly,as some phones have a built-in/non-removable battery.Kudos to SAMSUNG for having a removable/replacable battery.
Overall,an outstaning phone that should be servicable well beyond the standard 2yr. contract w/your carrier.
This product is... Replaced my MP3 player, Easy navigation, Replaced my camera, Tough/durable, Good video quality
About me... My phone is my life, Need phone to keep me organized

What Version for MacBook does it needs in order to Cast
I was told that in order to used with my MacoBook laptop I need another system version,I have 10.6 IOS version,Will it work with this version yes or no and if I need to do something in order to work with this version,What would that be?
From Google's support/FAQ's:
https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3209990?hl=en
Minimum system requirements
The Google Cast extension is available on all platforms, including Chrome OS, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. There are no specific hardware requirements in order to install or use the Google Cast extension.
However, casting video from a tab of your Chrome browser has specific requirements depending on your chosen quality settings. Systems that do not meet these minimum requirements will be limited to projecting web pages, images and slideshows, and will not work well for video content. A strong Wi-Fi connection both on Chromecast and your computer is also required for good performance.
The minimum system requirements for Casting from Chrome differ from the minimum system requirements to set up your Chromecast.
Apple OS X Operating System:
Recommended Requirements
Macbook Pro 2011 or newer, Macbook Air 2012 or newer;
OS X 10.9 or above
Minimum Requirements
Macbook Pro 2010, Macbook Air 2011;
OS X 10.7 or above

50 year old - no tech experience on how to use this product.
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and have been experiencing charger/cable issues from various manfrs. On your "Chat" a very helpful woman guided me to this product.due to the charger issues and seeking options that would be answers to my dilemmas.
How does this work, meaning is it a charger type device bc my galaxy doesn't seem to want to hold a charge longer than a day and a half?
Do I need a wall charger and cable to charge this device?
What's the difference between a Powerstation XL External Battery Pack Charger, bc I may be interested in this vs the one here I'm asking questions about?
Also, can you recommend a wall charger and cable for my device? No Insignia brand, as they've been nothing but problems.
I'd like to purchase a good wall charger w cable, and a device such as these external battery packs, and time is an issue bc the insignias burn out too quick and a hassle to deal w insignia itself. My charger(s) wall units are unstable and my battery life is extended only by turning the phone off when not in use. (And btw, I do not leave my phone on my wall charger longer than when the battery is powered to 100%, other than maybe an hour or two here and there, so the chargers/cables burn out on me).
Because i have less than 56% battery life left and no charger, time is of the essence and please, I truly need DEPENDABLE products in the wall charger/cable I need.
I realize I have a lot of questions. I'm from the "pen and paper" generation, as well as disabled, therefore cannot get into a store for help.
All I have is web advice and I am grateful for any guidance. May you all have beautiful every days.
Thank you.

1) Use only OEM Samsung Chargers,see their site for NOTE 4 accessories.
2) Skip the battery packs,they're typically inefficient & do not last long or provide the rated charging capacity.
A better option would be to buy additional OEM NOTE4 batteries & spare battery charging kit from Samsung OR BEST BUY if available.

Which cools most , Oscillating tower fan , or pedestal fan
A pedestal fan typically moves more air,the tower fans are typically quieter.
However,you should be able to find a tower fan w/sufficient air flow,especially if the area is already air conditioned.
If your location/site isn't air conditioned ,a pedestal fan is probably needed to stay comfortable,depending upon your cooling/temperature preferences.

i'm using this more of like a PDA....do I have to have a phone contract service in order to use the wireless for internet? I don't need phone service
You can use this device as a wi-fi only device,meaning you can use the internet/browser & e-mail functions w/o having to be subscribed to a phone service.I believe you can also make phone calls using wi-fi only w/GOOGLE VOICE/SKYPE/VONAGE or other similar services.
Check out the GOOGLE PLAY STORE for such applications & take a look at one of the many ANDROID enthusiast websites available for assistance on setting up such free service,or,anything else ANDROID related.(ANDROID FORUMS/ANDROID CENTRAL.etc...lotta good websites for the everyday user w/very friendly/eager to help members!)
