They last a long time - much better than the off brands at the dollar store. They're worth the extra money to get a brand name.

I usually either get San Disk Cruzer or Lexar when buying flash drives. I've had a couple other brands that did fail, but not San Disk. Good product.

Logitech - K480 Tenkeyless (TKL) Bluetooth Membrane Multidevice Keyboard - Black
Type on anything with Logitech K480 Wireless Multi-Device Keyboard - a unique compact computer keyboard that also works with your tablet and smartphone. Easily switch between 3 connected Bluetooth devices by turning the EASY-SWITCH dial. Type in comfort with the familiar keyboard layout, with all the shortcut keys you use the most, whether you're typing on a Windows, Mac or Chrome computer, or an Android or iOS tablet or smartphone. Plus, this multi-device keyboard features an integrated cradle that holds your phone or tablet at just the right angle for you to read while you type.
Good but my review is a little mixed
Customer Rating
4.0
First I want to explain that this is the second Logitech Bluetooth keyboard I've had. About three years ago I got an iPad Air and a month or two later bought a Logitech keyboard specifically for the iPad. I use it daily and I think in all that time I've replaced the batteries once. I do turn it off when I'm not using it so that does help on saving battery power.
A year after I got the iPad, I got an iPhone 6 Plus. Recently someone showed me the K480 and said it would work with multiple devices and the price was right so I got it. I think I've had it a month or so now and tonight had to replace the batteries to type this review. It may be the original ones were already weak when I got it, I don't know.
Anyway, there are some things I like about this keyboard and some things I like better about the one made specifically for the iPad. Because this one is able to cross lines between android, IOS and PC, there are some functions that work on the other one that don't work on the K480. Example: on the other one if I have two apps open I can do command tab to toggle between the two apps. This one does not have that feature.
I had no problem pairing the iPhone with the K480. I did have a problem pairing it with the iPad. I suspect the problem is because I did not delete the pairing information in the iPad before trying to pair the K480 with it. I think there must be some kind of software glitch where it won't allow you to pair with two different keyboards on the same device. I finally gave up and use this K480 when I'm at home on the iPhone and use the other keyboard with iPad. It would be a little too big and heavy to put in a purse to take everywhere, so I mostly use it at home.
Inspite of those issues I still think it's a pretty good machine and the price was right. It was less than half the cost of the one that works just with iPad.
Although the K480 will not work with the iPad without me deleting the other keyboard out of the Bluetooth menu, there is one thing I use the K480 for with the iPad. It's the tray. The iPad has a folio case and when I FaceTime, I can never quite get the iPad into the position I want it to talk. Many of the people I talk to on FaceTime are deaf or hard of hearing, so we really do need to see each other to communicate and having a folio case that won't hold something in position while you're trying to sign something can be frustrating. That tray holds it just perfectly at just the right angle. So, although I don't use it for typing on the iPad, it's still a keeper and useable with the iPad for FaceTiming.
I like the touch a little better on the other keyboard but the touch on this K480 is okay. I'm a good typist and I don't find it clunky or cumbersome, just like the touch of the other one a little better.

Just the right size for a kitchen cabinet or a bedroom. It's for a guest bedroom so didn't want to spend a lot and didn't have a lot of room. Most competitors' stores don't carry small TVs in stock. Best Buy does.

What can you say about a power strip - no moving parts or anything. It either works or doesn't work. This works. It has 3,000 joules, 11 outlets and a 6 foot cord, so I thought it was worth the price.

I got an external hard disk a few months ago to back up pictures on to it. It was a hassle each time putting it back in the box it came in. Saw the Insignia case at Best Buy and purchased it. It has a mesh holder on one side of the case for the external hard drive. It has an elastic on the other side to hold the cord in place and zips up. Sure is faster, easier to put the hard drive in the case than it was putting it back in the plastic and box each time.

Customer Rating

I have had an iPhone 6 Plus for a little over a year. I've thought for about half of that time about getting a Bluetooth headset and finally took the plunge when they were on sale. I got it about 3 weeks ago. I'm not a heavy user of the headset, but do really like it. Before getting it when I was at home, I would use the speaker feature on the phone. The LG Ultra has a nicer, crisper sound than using the speaker feature on the phone.
It doesn't transmit through walls very good. First day I had it, I left the phone in the living room and went into the bedroom - approximately 30 feet away, no walls in the way. It kept the connection. A few days later I left the phone in the living room and went outside - less than 30 feet away and it didn't keep the connection. One concern I had before getting it ended out not being a concern. I wanted to be able to put the phone in a fanny pack and talk on walks. Reviews of some headsets sounded like that might be a problem, but for this headset and my phone, it's absolutely no problem. Hooray!
Anything your phone does with sound the LG Ultra will transmit -- YouTube videos, music, radio, and of course phone calls. On my phone if I try to use Siri with it, it seems to only remember the last number called and call it again. I can't tell it "call so-and-so" who wasn't recently called and it figure out how to call that person.
The only gripe I have is about the size of the owner's manual. It's less than one fourth of an 8 1/2 X 11 paper size and the print is probably about 4 point. No, I didn't say 14 point, I said about 4 point. I probably would have played with it more the first couple of days I had the device if I wouldn't have needed to use a magnifying glass to read the manual. A few days later I looked on line and found the manual there and printed it out full page size. It made a world of difference.
I got my LG Ultra the first day they went on sale. The last day of the sale a friend was visiting from L.A., liked mine and bought one on my recommendation so yes, I would recommend it -- already did!

The printer I had previous to this one drank ink and dried up quickly. This one does not drink ink quickly and has never dried up on me. Last year I was gone over two months, which means I wasn't using the printer. When I came back, there was no dry ink. I don't know what they did differently in the technology between the two printers, but it's nice to have ink that is good to the last drop.

Does it come with a ribbon tag to secure it to your neck, pocket etc, tend to lose mine from the pocket, ribbon is a great way to secure
No, most flash drives don't come with a ribbon tag. But I agree ribbon tags (lanyards) are a great way to keep track of them. A couple of years ago I ordered several cheap lanyards from eBay and haven't lost a flash drive since. Recently I was visiting a relative and using their computer but needed to use my flash drive. I stretched the lanyard out so I would see it and not forget to eject it later and leave it at their house. It would be nice if all flash drives came with lanyards but they don't. Boo hoo!

Does this headset hurt your ears when the phone rings. I have a set of earbuds that when a call comes in the voice is so loud it hurts!
No, mine doesn't. The headset vibrates. I don't keep the ear piece in my ear all the time. It retracts so when I'm finished with a call I retract it and when the next call comes in it vibrates and I put it in my ear at that point. That's one of the nice features of having a headset that rests around your neck instead of one that is constantly stuck in your ear.

Can you connect 2 phones to the headset at the same time?
According to the instruction manual you can connect two devices to it. I've not tried to do so. I suggest you go on-line and read the instruction manual.

Dynex 16x DVD+R Disc
Do these blank dvds work well with windows 7
Yes. I have Windows 7 and they work fine. The main consideration in copying something to blank DVDs is the speed. If you have an old computer and burn a DVD at the highest speed, an old computer might not be able to read it. Other than music and video copying, I almost always copy at a slower speed. If you're copying music the music program will choose the speed (like iTunes), but if you're copying something like data files or pictures, I would pick a slower speed than the fastest available so that older computers can read the data.

Wacom - Cintiq 13HD Interactive Pen Display - Black
Create digital art with this Wacom Cintiq 13HD DTK1300 graphic tablet, which features a responsive touch interface and includes a pressure-sensitive Pro Pen, making it easy to draw precise lines. The adjustable display stand helps ensure comfortable use.
Why is Best Buys selection of Wacom products so limited?
I would like to get either this or the touch version but seemingly this is on the website but apparently there is only one left in a store somewhere in America and good luck finding it, and the touch version isnt even offered. Its sad when you want to give a store a 1000 dollars and you cant.
I think it's limited because there's a limited market for the devices. How many people do you know that want or have one? I can count on one hand and still have fingers left. It's a speciality item. Ask them if they will order it for you.

SanDisk - Ultra PLUS 64GB SDXC UHS-I Memory Card
This SanDisk Ultra Plus SDSDUSC-064G-AN6IN SDXC memory card features Class 10 UHS-1 speed for high-quality video recording performance. The 64GB capacity offers ample space to store photos and high-definition videos.
Please explain how to use the memory card,details listed.
When using memory card,after putting your photos on something else. Is it ok to erase the photos on the card? How does this affect the numbering system on the card?Is there a special way to erase photos?does the size (eg) 64 or 32 have any effect on the type ,clarity of the photo?
I occasionally delete some photos on my card. I've never deleted them all. My partial deletes have not changed the numbering system on the card.
They can either be erased from the computer or from the camera. I usually do it from the computer after I've transferred the pictures to the computer and made a back up.
The size of the memory card has no effect on the clarity of the pictures. Your camera should give you choses as to how many megapixels you take your pictures at. THAT will effect the clarity. The size of the memory card determines how many pictures you can take before your card is full. If your card is 32 or 64 GB, you can take thousands of pictures before it gets full.
I have a 64 GB card that I used last week to take an hour long HD movie of a special event. I still have room for a couple more hours of filming before it's full. You can take LOTS of pictures!! Smile!

Thousands. There should be a chart at Best Buy that will tell you how many photos each size of memory card will hold. Off the top of my head I don't remember but it's well into the thousands.
