Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.
Still a winner

You generally can't go wrong with a Logitech webcam. They've been making them for decades, so they know a thing or two. Even though this particular model first came out almost 10 years ago, it's still a contender in the webcam space.
The price point is on the low to medium scale, and the results you get are worth it. It gives good video with an ideal FOV (78 degrees) for your typical use case (individual user). If you're looking for something to capture a larger area, you'll need to move to something like their C930, which has a 90 degree FOV.
This camera is going to outperform almost any built-in laptop webcam. It tends to work well even in lower light situations. The physical privacy shutter is also a nice touch for people that may be used to using a Post-It note or tape.
The downloadable Logitech Capture software open up another world of possibilities, especially if you wish you use the camera for streaming (although I do not). You can easily create a picture-in-picture video using the webcam and your desktop with the ability to customize the position and size of the sources. This creates a new virtual webcam that can then be used as the input webcam selection in any other software you choose for streaming. There are also many quality adjust available, such as software-based zooming, white balance, filters, and other manual image tweaks. It even supports blue and green screen chroma key removal.
All in all, if you're looking for a quick and easy to use webcam or just want something that's a step up from your laptop's built-in camera, you can't go wrong with this one.

I bought these when my cheaper wired Sony headphones started peeling on the ear pieces (you know, because of the faux-leather covering). I decided to go wireless and over the ear for a better experience, and I'm glad I did.
These have excellent clarity for the highs and mids. Even the bass response is very surprising for something in this price range. They are comfortable on the ears and do a good job of blocking out noise. The noise canceling works best for white noise type sounds, like an air conditioner or fan, although it still does a decent job with other sounds.
The bluetooth can be a little funky when using as a headset, because there is a "headphones" output option and a "headset" option. When I was previously running Windows 7, you had to make sure you only selected the headset option if you wanted to use the mic. If you mixed the headphones for output with headset for input, it wouldn't work properly. With Windows 10, it seems to do a better job.
I did get this on sale, but even at the regular price, they're still a good deal.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this keyboard.
It has a nice amount of key travel and its pretty quiet. It's very similar to a cross between a mechanical keyboard (which is really loud) and a low profile membrane keyboard (which can be annoying to type on). It's a very sturdy keyboard that's much heavier than I expected it to be. It won't shift around your desk without a decent amount of force.
My primary reason for getting the keyboard was to having something that's backlit to make it easier to see in the dark or low light. It accomplished that task with three brightness settings (off, 50%, 100%) and a wide selection of colors. In the static mode, there are five separate zones that can each be set to one of nine colors. I personally just used the solid color.
The LED control is all in the hardware, so no special software is needed. This might be a negative for people that want to customize their keyboard from the computer, but for me, it's fine.
The reason I dinged it a star were because of a few little things I didn't like.
* Without the light on, you basically cannot see the keys at all with its design. The transparent portion that shows the letters blends in very closely to the black keys. When you are looking at the keyboard at an angle versus straight down, the backlight doesn't shine through cleanly, thus making some of the letters look a little weird.
* The keys with multiple characters (where you use shift) have the characters side-by-side instead of the traditional vertical layout. It slows down your ability to find some of the keys quickly, especially when looking at an angle
* Not an issue, but something else to note: the white is not really white at all. It's that "LED blue" color that's commonly found on Christmas lights.

Hello sir I wanted to know if I would buy this phone today do I have to connect it to a service provider cause I just wanted to use it like a extra device at home
Practically any phone can be use without cellular network connectivity or a plan; you will just be restricted to using Wifi only (no cell calls). You might get a warning about a missing or invalid SIM card, but it can be ignored.
You will still need to set up or have an existing Google account to get thorough functionality, like access to the Play store.

Samsung - Galaxy S9 64GB (AT&T)
Take your best shots for sharing with this AT&T Samsung Galaxy S9 in black. Slim in construction for easy handling, this bold smartphone delivers professional-quality shots through Pro Mode manual adjustments. The dual aperture lens adjusts to the light, so images show up in crystal clarity on the 5.8-inch screen, while Iris Scanner and Face Recognition provide instant access. Combining reliable construction with an IP68 rating to resist water damage, this AT&T Samsung Galaxy S9 captures every adventure.
So if I get the phone for 27.00 a month it comes with atnt service or is that extra.
No, the price does not include the monthly cost of the service. It's an "AT&T" phone because it is locked to their network until you have fully paid off the phone. The $27/month AT&T Next option allows you to subsidize the full cost of the phone over a 30-month period, interest free, instead of paying the full $790 at once. You will have to decide on and purchase the actual plan for an additional cost (probably at least $50-$60/month after taxes for a single line with data capabilities).

Logitech M310 Wireless Mouse is an easy-to-use, full-size mouse that feels just right. Feel comfortable for hours on end - in your right or left hand - thanks to its contoured, ambidextrous design with soft rubber side grips. M310 comes with a plug-and-forget nano USB receiver that is small enough to stay in your USB port so you won't lose it no matter where you take your laptop. Navigating on your PC or Macbook is simple, with smooth, responsive tracking and Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. For hassle-free use and extreme reliability and durability, choose M310 wireless mouse.
Is the nano receiver that comes with this mouse of the "unifying" type, or of the regular type? eg can I pair Logitech keyboard K520 onto nano receiver that comes with this mouse? I know it's compatible with uni, I'm asking if the included nano is uni?
No, this does not come with a unifying receiver. It is the nano receiver, which is designed to pair with one device. The unifying receiver will have an orange asterisk on it that indicates it can pair with more than one device. The M325 comes with a unifying receiver, but it is a smaller mouse.
This is NOT a bluetooth device, as another responder stated.
