This Wemo smart switch was easy to set up and use. The app is really simple to use. I used the smart switch to remotely turn on a portable air conditioner. My wifi router is a Dlink 802.11 N.

This device works fine. I got it to work on a Linux distribution. Just plugged it in to a USB port and LInux installed the driver. I pared it with a bluetooth mouse. With Windows 7 and 10, installation should be a simple. Just plug it in and Windows will install the driver. All you need is a bluetooth compatible mouse or keyboard or speaker, or other bluetooth device.

If you are replacing a 2.5 inch 5400 rpm spinning hard drive in your laptop you won't be disappointed in this product. You will notice a speed increase in boot time and normal web browsing and such. If you are using this to replace a 7200 rpm hard drive the speed-up increase will be minimal.

This Bose speaker is a major improvement over the speakers in your tv. This speaker is compact and will blend- in to the room plus it comes with a wonderful remote control. This speaker will not shake and rock your whole house. For that you need a more powerful speaker and subwoofer. This Bose speaker can be used with your desktop computer as well. It would mate up good with a 23 inch or larger pc monitor. In summary, this speaker has good sound quality and I can finally understand the dialog from news and various tv dramas. The speaker comes with a 3 foot long fiber output cable that connects from the tv sound out to the rear of the Bose speaker. There are two more connection options, coax and rca left and right jacks. Rumor has it the fiber output is superior in sound quality then the other two options.

Wow, this thing really works good for a battery powered device. This vacuum is small and light weight and man does it pick up hair, pet fur and dust. Since it is bagless it has a clear plastic container for all the dirt and you will be shocked how much dirt is in just one room. This vacuum will not replace your corded vacuum because the battery does not store enough energy to vacuum an entire house. I vacuumed two large rooms and it still had plenty of power left (because its still new). This vacuum will work on carpet, tile, linoleum, hard wood floors. You can have suction only (for tile and hard wood floors) or suction and spinning brush (for carpet). The battery is easily removed from the vacuum and it has a separate battery charger that the battery plugs into. This vacuum is outstanding for the kitchen, stairs, family room, because these rooms get so much use every day.

Purchased this item for my daughters birthday. After consulting with her on how she like this item and listening to it my self here are the results. This device is great when getting ready for work in the morning. It plays loud enough to hear when taking a shower. She pairs the speaker to her smart phone (iPhone 5s). The sound quality and loudness is very good. The relatively low cost of this speaker makes it a best buy when purchasing a blue-tooth speaker. You won't go wrong with this device.

This is a fast hard drive considering its not solid state. I ran some bench mark test using a popular program. Here are the results. Note in parenthesis is the speed of a 2+ year old PNY solid state drive.
Minimium speed: 53 MB/s (110.2 MB/s PNY SSD drive)
Maximum speed: 180.6 MB/s (160.2 MB/s PNY SSD drive)
Average Speed: 138.1 MB/s (145.4 MB/s PNY SSD drive)
Access time: 17.4 ms (0.27 ms PNY SSD drive)
Burst speed: 263,8 MB/s (129.1 MB/s PNY SSD drive)
Conclusion; The 1TB rotating hard drives are very fast and competitive with SSD drives especially when dealing with huge video files like 5GB and 8GB files. SSD drive have such a fast access time they seem and feel faster and more responsive than rotating drives but let me tell you SSD drives do slow down big time after 2 years of service and you can see from my test results that the 2 year old SSD drive and WD rotating drive are close in speed. I have rotating hard drives that still work after 10 years of service. If you need absolute best reliability and good performance with huge video files go with a rotating hard drive like the 1TB WD hard drive. If you play games on your pc you will want a SSD drive. You will notice the SSD speed advantage during your computer boot-up but after that you bill hardly notice a difference when the SSD is a few years old. Of course each brand is different and the technology gets better and better all the time but so does the rotating drives. The advantage of the 1TB drive is it's a single platter drive, simple, reliable, fast.

Lets face it. A smart tv adds another 100 bucks and will only be relevant for 2 years at best. Purchasing Amazon FIre TV Stick converts a dumb tv to a smart tv. FIre TV stick has a fast response and the picture is beautiful. Fire TV stick is has a dual core processor and is basically a computer. As the technology improves you can replace it in the future. The smart tv, your stuck with it.

I want to save files from my desktop and view tham on my LG tablet from Verizon will it work?
It should work with any Android device. You will need a good file manager to move the file from the Flash Drive to your LG. Try downloading "ES File Explorer" from the Android APP store.
