This is an excellent adapter for a hard-wired USB A cable of a portable blu-ray drive that I need to use with a new laptop. Both connections are solid and secure. It is good value.

I switched to this software after years of using TurboTax, and am glad I did. This software was easy to install and use, and easily made use of my previous years TurboTax returns. The icing on the cake is that I got a fantastic deal on the package!

This 2TB SATA SSD provides reliable and fast storage for my photographs and small video files. The 5yr manufacturer's warranty is excellent. Its temperature rarely exceeds 30deg C in my tower. I ran some speed tests on it, and the results are in excellent agreement with what is advertised. It is a great value buy.

Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack [12 Discs] [DVD]
This 12-disc set contains 50 classic horror films including White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney Sr., Bluebeard with John Carradine, Nosferatu, The Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and many more. The technical quality of the discs are underwhelming, but this set is certainly a case of quantity over quality.

recommend its purchase if you like this content.

mystery movies and consider it a good value. I
recommend its purchase if you like this content.
However, the collection does have a few issues.
First of all, the picture of the box on the product
description web page shows the "Anniversary
Edition", with that label on the bottom of the box.
I did not receive that edition, as can be seen in the
attached photo of my box. To be fair, careful
examination of the printed description of the
product never says "Anniversary Edition". I
deducted half a star for this error.

deducted half a star for this error.
Second, there is no document in the box that
catalogs the contents of each of the 12
double-sided dvds. The listing on the back of
the box does not provide that information.
The purchaser of the collection has to carefully
examine the printing on the narrow band around
the hole of each dvd to see what is on that side
of the dvd. The marketer of this collection could have
easily and cheaply provided that information on a
single sheet of paper! For this omission I deducted
another half star.

I deducted a full star for the poor packaging of the
disks themselves. There are 12 double-sided dvds
in the set. They are placed into 6 stiff cardboard
holders, with a disk on each side. Half of each disk
is exposed in these holders, and when placed in the
box is in physical contact with a disk in the adjacent
holder. As a result, the disks are in danger of getting
scratched. I think it would have been cheaper and
safer to have a proper dvd envelope for each disk.

Some other observations are worthy of note.
The printing on the narrow band around the
hole of the dvd is clear and looks long lasting.
The dvds have a simple but functional menu
system. They typically have only a few (typically
4) chapters set up for each film. There are
typically 2 films on each side of the dvds.

It is hard to find physical media for these films,

This lamp is an excellent addition to my desktop computer station. The station is wide, with two monitors and a tower with external speakers. This lamp has a long bulb on a configurable arm that provides excellent lighting of my wide space. The white color of the emitted light allows accurate viewing of color on the desk - which is useful when comparing photos to what I see on my monitor screens. Also the light is not harsh, even on the highest setting. I recommend this lamp highly.

I do not see where the privacy feature for the camera is. Is it a button that needs to be pressed? Because I see nothing that covers the camera.
The version of this laptop I got from Best Buy does not have the sliding switch to put a physical screen in front of the camera. I believe this is the case for this version of the laptop for Best Buy. You can disable the camera in Settings, if you wish.
