Bought this keyboard to allow my father-n-law to be able to set across the room and use a new computer I bought. Worked great. They need a better product to span a recliner to allow a temporary desktop to set it on.

I bought this low cost desktop because it had HDMI out and I could hook it to a large screen TV for my father-n-law. Worked out great with an added wireless keyboard. Plenty of computer for most basic tasks. Not sure it is still available.

I used this Roku-2 to stream Netflix in my Movie Theatre and it works just fine. The big plus for me over an Apple TV is the Android App that allows me to control the device in the theater with my phone or other wireless device including an ipad. With an Apple TV you limited to having to use an IPAD all the time. I only whish this device had an Ethernet connection like the Roku 3 but, so far wireless has been fine with my router.

What's great about it: Screen, camera and video.
What's not so great: All the techno garbage to do with visual recognition
I came from an IPHONE and am not an IPHONE lover or I would not have switched. Nothing special here, way below the hipe. Battery life is marginal unless you turn off many of the features. The Camera and especially the video can be stunning. A big plus there, but the rest of the new features with the hand gestures and eye recognition don't work well enough to bother with. The hover can be more of a nuisance than help. Please get back to basic development of phone communications - speeding up display and reducing cost of data pushes my buttons.

 Rocketfish™ - Bluetooth Music Receiver - Multi
Rocketfish™ - Bluetooth Music Receiver - Multi
Easily listen to music stored on your Apple® iPhone®, iPad® or other Bluetooth-enabled device through your home audio equipment, with this Rocketfish™ music receiver that features Bluetooth technology for wireless streaming up to 33'.
 

IPad Pairing

Got a replacement iPad and don't have the manual that came with the Rocketfish device. Tell me how to make the pairing as it is not seem to be automatic. Worked fine with my previous iPad and I endorse the RF-BTR212.
If you turn on/or off your Bluetooth communication in settings you will break the connection to this device. If you connect to another device away from the Bluetooth when you come back to this device it may not automatically connect. This is one of the issues with Bluetooth, whereas, air play will always be listed as a way to play your music from your ipad. Need a device that works the same for Android.

5.1 surround ?

if I am mirroring movie from my smartphone to my hdtv will i get 5.1 surround from my a/v reciever with this product?
No, this device does not support the communication protocol needed for 5.1. Has good stereo however, and a good receiver can fake the 5.1

Purchased, pull out of box, plugged in, and the screen says "NO Boot Device Found"....... What is that?

Why would a brand new computer, fresh out of the box, say "No boot device found". What does that mean?

After a while, I got it to work, What I did was hit F2 at the start of the dell screen, and went into the DOS screen, and went over to a particular option, and changed it from BIOS to UEFI. ONce I did that, and saved my settings, and restarted, the computer loaded up without any problems, and I was able to start set up and inputting my MSN acct information/adding the computer to my network.

BUt again, my main question is, why would this brand new computer have that error upon start up of NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND??

WHat does that mean? If I shut down my computer after setting it to UEFI, will I run into this same error again upon next startup? Why would a brand new computer have that? Please, if someone can, can you provide me w/in depth answers to these puzzling questions. I appreciate any help that can be offered. Thank you very much.
https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/01/25/uefi-boot-how-does-that-actually-work-then/
Yes, it will boot fine. Read the link above if you want to dive really deep, but it is just another means to boot your computer. Sounds like a quality problem if it was not in the right mode to begin with.

Can I play PC games on this type of computer?

Will I need a better graphics card?
Most new high end games would be a push on this computer, the build in graphics card would be the big issue. You would also have to add 4 G of memory.

WINDOWS 8

Dear Customer Service,

I am only interested in purchasing a tower. With the Windows 8 installed in this tower, will the touch screen option work on any monitor?

Sincerely,
Michelle
No, you would have to buy a device that would be more expensive than the computer.
