Best Laptop Backpack I've Owned To Date
Customer Rating
5.0
I used to carry around my Targas backup for about the last 9-10 years. My employer last year bought new company backpacks from Land's End, but they were cheap bags. I was getting tired of carrying around this bag because it had no padding, no protection for your laptop, and lacked adequate storage/organization. After checking this bag and the comparable Werner, Swiss Army, etc. units at Best Buy...I gravitated back to this unit as the one to purchase. I've had it over a month now and can say that I really love it. It fits very comfortably on your back when using both straps to walk with it. It has tons of pockets and really like that I can finally organize all of my work/IT stuff: network cables, small tools, notepads, chargers, etc. My only one complaint is that in the laptop compartment, the left zipper tends to snag at a particular spot on the inner liner. I will partially fault this on that I'm putting a 17" laptop in it. The snag is right at the top left corner of the laptop.

I wanted to retire my 15+ year old Norelco after dropping it in the toilet. What I liked about this old unit was that it didn't have a bunch of attachments, with an adjustable dial w/9 settings. I had a hard time finding similar unit after looking at several big box stores, then stumled upon this unit at BB. I really like this trimmer for two big reasons:
1. Waterproof and I can use it in the shower.
2. Adjustable dial w/total of 19 settings to fine tune your trim.

I bought this set while it was on sale during the holidays for my brother's birthday. They haven't been watched yet, because he hasn't gone to purchase an actual bluray player.

Bought this complete sale while it was on sale during the holidays. Not much to say; has all 8 movies. The first few are lacking in audio/video quality, but that was before bluray came out.

I bought this unit to replace my 15+ year old Sony ES receiver. While my old ES receiver still has a better amp and sound quality, you'd have to be an audophile to notice these minute details. I simply wanted a new received that had HDMI inputs, HDMI pass-thru, and any extras that came along with it. My sole purpose was to be able to get Dolby Digital on my streaming services, which I couldn't do on my old receiver. I got everything that I wanted, and it was super cheap. In fact, this is the cheapest receiver at this price point that also has the most features as well. Many features like bluetooth, the phone/tablet remote control app, MHL, are great to have but I likely won't use that much to be honest. Anyway, I guess I can't really complain much since I got what I wanted for less than $300. Getting a new ES unit would've been about $1k. I do wish it had more display options either on-screen or on the unit itself. Plus a better remote.

This is fantastic tablet at this price point. It has the latest CPU and OS. Only wish it had more RAM, but 1GB seems to be enough for casual usage. If you have a newer LG phone, it will sync the phone, SMS, and contacts to the tablet. You can take incoming calls and respond to incoming texts. Nice feature, but would be even better if you could actually initiate calls and texts from the tablet. With the screen size and latest specs, you can't beat this tablet for the price. There is no other tablet that gives you the screen size and specs for this cheap.

Will the Google Home Mini turn my TV on and off.
Not without another device. I don't know of any TV's with the Google Assistant built-in. If there was, it might work. However, you can pickup a Harmony Hub/Remote and it will work. I do this now for my TV, receiver, cable box, PS4, etc. I can tell my either my Echo Dot or Home Mini and issue commands to turn on/off my system, change channels, etc. Some commands can be a little finicky, and you have to do some customizing to get certain things working right (this is all on the Harmony side). I still have some issues with my system, but overall the majority of my commands work. There are several versions from Logitech, so check their website to see which remotes are compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant. I have the top of the line Harmony Elite.

Does it do two sided copies and multiple page copies?
I tested this for you and yes, it should be doing both of what you asked.
I first printed out a few pages and told it to print on both sides, which it does this correctly.
I then went into the Copy/Print settings, and set:
ADF duplex scan: Duplex
2-sidedPrintSetting: 2-sided
It then made copies of what I printed out earlier, and it printed the copies on both sides.
Check the user manual here and it tells you what to set.

Hooking up projector with component cables
Trying to drive video from a blu ray player into the receiver (via hdmi) and then from receiver into projector via component cable coming out of the projector. Audio works great but cannot see any video. I am plugging the yellow video cable from the projector into the yellow video port in the back of the receiver with no luck...
You may need check the settings that display on-screen. Then you need to look at the preferred output method setting for that particular input connection. You can specify to tell that device to use specific output.

What speakers are recommended for this system
need surround speakers and need to know what is recommended. The speaker hook ups are the type that require strippable speaker wires
You can hook up whatever type of speaker wire. They are binding posts that have screws. So you can put a bare speaker wire on the post or use banana clips, etc. Anything would work.

There are more than 4 input connections. You would need to specify what type of output connection you have on those 4 components before I could tell you.
