I love it. Make sure you get at least the 8GB version. The 4GB is just not enough. The first thing that will happen is an update to Windows 10 "Features". 4GB was on the edge before; with this update 4GB is too small. I had one for a week and exchanged it for the 2017 I5 8GB 256 GB model. Would have been happier with I-7 but just too expensive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought to replace a couple of old strips. The price on sale was great.
Suggested retail; not so much.

It seems to perform well. I am not sure how well it will hold up. It has texture that hangs up on anything else in my pocket when I take out my keys. I am afraid it is going to tear off and be left on a parking lot somewhere. So far it is fine.

3rd try, All of them feel like they will rip the charging port out of 4 different phones and 2 tablets (All of which are Samsung). The computer end works perfect. All of my phones and tablets work fine with Samsung and aftermarket chargers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can this device store text messages from my phone? You

No. I bought 3 of them. None of them were high enough quality to fit properly in the phone. They are junk.

 Klipsch - Reference 5-1/4&quot; Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black
Klipsch - Reference 5-1/4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black
Experience lush, detailed audio with these Klipsch Reference R-15M bookshelf speakers that feature 5-1/4" copper-spun IMG woofers and 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression tweeters to create a dynamic soundscape.
 

Will these speakers work with a Denon fully automatic analog turntable with a built in phono equalizer? I don't want to buy the receiver if I don't need to. It was suggested that I could just get "powered speakers".

You still need a receiver or amplifier. They are not powered speakers and the amplifier in you turntable is just there to match the cartridge output to a line input on a powered speaker or a receiver or an amplifier.

The SanDisk Extreme PLUS SDHC UHS-I Memory Card delivers performance that lets you take control of your creativity. With shot speeds of up to 60MB/s and UHS speed Class 3 (U3) recording, you’re ready to capture stunning high-resolution, stutter-free 4K UHD video. The memory card also delivers up to 90MB/s transfer speeds so you can quickly move your photos where you want them.

I put this card right into the camera, and it said it was unable to accept. So, I tried formatting w/ the cam to no progress. I tried the same in my iMac, and same issue. Any ideas on how I can get my money's worth with it? Other cards work in both!

Return for exchange or refund.
