I use these with laptop computers like Asus U46, Acer Aspire One and Dell XPS 13. They are very compact and fit nicely in the case used for the notebook's power brick. They seem to have the perfect amount of tracking sensitivity for almost all size screens. They never break and are very rugged, I have been using the same one for 5-6 years.

The 850 EVO 1TB is the best 2.5" SSD for the price. They test faster than the lower capacity drives. I have one in my Dell XPS 8920 and a second one that I use to make a just-in-case backup image. You can use the Samsung Magician software for managing the drive.

Works great. USB 3.0 is much faster than older USB 2.0 WD external drives I have. It is plug and play with Windows 10. It comes with WD disk utilities on it, but I don't use these. I have other real time backup software running. This 8GB WD HD is "air gapped" from my Dell XPS 8920. I use it only for backup of an external WD 4GB HD. I bought it on sale at BB, great low price.

I bought this to go with a new XPS 13. I have one for an older 14" Asus notebook and another one for an Acer 11.6" notebook. The 1.5V AA battery, which is included, lasts forever. The USB transceiver, which only sticks out 1/2" can be left in the computer or stored inside the battery compartment. It works on just about any surface.

I bought this system because we wanted a phone that would work in a power outage. The corded base station can make and receive calls if the power goes out. Of course the Caller ID, answering system, and the two remote phones won't work if the power is out. However, the base station does reset the time and date from the Caller ID system info after an outage.
The voice quality for the cordless handsets, especially in the speaker mode, is much better than the new Panasonic ones which we tried and returned.
It isn't that difficult to program the base station and handsets. Read the instructions first and then follow them step-by-step to program each handset and the base station! We also turned off the Caller ID voice announce, its just a distraction and tells the whole world who's calling!

The 850 EVO 500GB is the best SSD for the money, it costs little more than twice the price of a 1TB conventional HD when Best Buy has it on sale. Windows 10 will boot in 30 seconds. I have now installed 3 of these, one in a Dell XPS 8500, one in an Asus U46E note book (both of these to replace failed WD hard drives) and one in an Acer Aspire One netbook.

We needed a new TV for the kitchen/breakfast area. A 32" TV was the ideal size and it had to fit on top of a microwave cart whose top was 26" wide. The UN32J5500 has a single, central base. The lower priced Samsung models as well as the 32" LG and Vizio sets have the feet on each end which need a minimum 28" wide surface to sit on. I didn't want to use a wall mount. The picture is excellent. The sound is OK but good enough for cable TV viewing. The set has a full range of adjustments, I optimized the picture from the factory defaults. I enabled the WiFi during Setup and then disabled it after I finished. I have direct RF cable TV input, and HDMI-connected digital cable tuner and 2nd Gen Chromecast. Overall I am very happy with this TV.

 Google - Chromecast - Black
Google - Chromecast - Black
Enjoy a world of entertainment with Google Chromecast. Just connect to your HDTV's HDMI interface and your home Wi-Fi network to get started. You can stream your favorite apps from your compatible phone, tablet or laptop, plus use your phone as a remote to search, play and pause content.
 

Will this allow you to cast in a hotel room that requires a log in page from a website?

I was going to try this. The Chromecast needs a WiFi connection to the same router as your PC is connected to. Give it a try, we have nothing to lose but our chains.

Will this stream TWC?

TWC = The Weather Channel I assume?

If you have TWC on your phone, tablet or PC and installed the App on the tablet/phone or the Chromecast program on the PC.

Does having a power cord mean you can use it without wi-fi?

Does having a power cord mean you can use it without wi-fi?
The "power cord" is a combination USB cable and a charging cable. The S10.5 when connected to a PC acts as an external USB drive. You can transfer files back and forth at will. You can use any micro-USB to USB cable that you have. I have a collection of these from 1 foot to 6 feet long.

However, you can only connect to the Google Play store, the internet, and Apps that need the internet by WiFi. You can use any 5V wall charger device that you happen to have to recharge the device and it will charge the battery when hooked to a "powered" (not through a passive USB hub device) USB jack on a PC.
