My existing hard drive was failing and I had to replace it immediately or risk losing all my data. I saved having to run all around town by checking Best Buy online. I found what I was looking for at the local store, 15 minutes away from my house. I was able to quickly find the drive and replace my existing drive.

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 - 10.6" - 128GB: More capable than your average tablet but lighter and smaller than a laptop, the Surface Pro 2 features hands-on productivity with the ability to fully support Microsoft Office (sold separately). Multitask with side-by-side apps, prop up your tablet with the built-in kickstand, or connect accessories via the USB and display ports for a work-efficient desktop setup.

What's great about it: Real Windows on a tablet
What's not so great: A little on the heavy side. Could use more and better apps
My husband has a super fast Dell desktop in his office, but sometimes, he'd like a more portable computer to use while watching TV. I have 2 Android tablets and a Surface Pro 2, which I also bought from Best Buy. He said he never wanted a tablet until he could find a use for it. After using my Surface Pro 2, he decided he wanted one, too. Now, we both sit around the TV playing with our tablets. Mine is the only one I take on trips.
My advice to anybody considering a tablet or something like the Surface: pick it up and hold it in your hand for awhile. The specs are all pretty advanced. Find the device that feels good in your hand and does what you want to do. Forget the reviewers. You decide.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, lightning fast, A nice compact size, Easy to navigate
About me... Technology guru, Business Professional, traveler

Safely back up your vehicle with the help of this Metra BBBPC back-up camera, which delivers a 170° viewing angle to help you see obstacles behind you. The camera mounts easily above your vehicle's license plate for simple installation.
 

What can be used as the monitor for this camera? iPhone? Is it blue tooth?

As far as I know, the camera has to be wired directly into a compatible car stereo. I originally purchased a Pioneer AVH-X391BHS car stereo thinking that I could plug my existing backup camera (Yada) into the monitor. The installation tech told me that Yada was wireless. It plugged into the car's power system, but the camera had a wireless connection to the monitor. So, I purchased this backup camera and plugged it into the Pioneer, which has a special jack for a backup camera. It works great.

So, In other words, this camera that you had a question about requires a wired connection to a monitor.

I don't believe XP can handle any drive greater than 2 TB. You can buy the same make of drive in a 2 TB capacity,

Is this compatible with a Dell XPS 8700

I have a Dell XPS 8700 which I bought from Best Buy and I was wondering if this hard drive would work on my computer. I am looking to add more storage.

I am running Windows 7 Professional
Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60 GHz
RAM is 8 GB
64-bit Operating System

Thanks
Yes, I added this drive as a second drive on my Dell XPS 8700, and it works fine.
