This is my first experience with a portable air conditioner, and I have to say I was very pleased from the moment I turned it on. It cooled a very hot room quickly and actually helped lower the temperature of the rest of the apartment as well. I find the noise level about the same as from a similar-sized window unit. My only worry was whether the vent hose would be long enough for my unusual windows, but it reached with room to spare. Other reviewers mention that it is heavy -- and it is -- but again, similar to an equivalent window air conditioner. I am glad I purchased it and would buy it again.

First... I love Brother laser printers because they separate the toner cartridge from the drum unit. With some other brands they are in one unit, making the replacement cartridge more expensive (and, for me, less environmentally friendly because you replace both the toner and the drum each time).
Second... the HL-2390DW produces beautiful text, which is mostly what I print. For serious graphics printing one should look at ink jet printers, of course.
Third... I only occasionally scan, and usually I scan only one or two pages. Using the flatbed scan window is just fine. For those who regularly scan multiple pages, you might look at the Brother MFP models with an automatic document feeder. I just don't need that feature.
This purchase replaced a 2007 model Brother MFP which frankly just needed both a drum and a toner cartridge. I decided to recycle that unit and opt for a current model... but I wouldn't have had to, honestly.
I've purchased at least 10 Brother laser printers for different people over the years, and I've been pleased every time.

My old Blu-Ray player lost its ability to stream, and it seemed like loading a disc took forever. While I don't have a large collection of discs I felt like I needed to buy a replacement. This Sony 4K Ultra HD loads discs quickly, and the streaming features extend the life of my older plasma TV (which I can't bear to part with). While the TV can't take full advantage of the Blu-Ray players 4K capability, the Sony produces an excellent picture. Great features at a great price... I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I love using this kind of trackball, so keep that in mind. In fact, I resist ever having to use a regular mouse. I can only conclude that more people would switch if they had a chance to try a trackball. I have the step-up model at work and this M570 at my home computer. For me, using my thumb to move the ball is so much more precise -- and less fatiguing -- than moving the whole mouse with my wrist. The "back" and "forward" buttons are great, as is the scroll wheel... and all are adjustable (to a certain extent) in the software (that one does not have to install, by the way). I hope Logitech always makes trackballs!

After looking at several other thin and light notebooks I chose the Lenovo Yoga C940 for its very good keyboard, great screen, and excellent sound. I confess I never liked the watchband-style hinge on the original 900 series but I love the current hinge with the soundbar built in. The 14" size is comfortable to use on the road, while being thin and light. I have been using it only for about a month, but I'm so happy with it that I'd make the same purchase choice again today.

I have had this computer for just over a month now and I love everything about it. For a laptop with a 15.6" screen it feels lighter than I'd expected. Very sturdy, great keyboard, nice screen... very fast, even with lots of tabs open. I have a smaller notebook that I use for travel but I needed something for serious work with a larger screen and fuller keyboard. This fits the bill. Also looked and (and loved) the Lenovo Yoga 740 15" and could have gone either way. I didn't need the touch screen and got a great configuration with the Dell Inspiron.

At your desk, on the couch, or out in the yard, Surface Pro 7 adapts to the way you work with laptop-to-tablet versatility. And now, it delivers more power than ever, with a laptop-class Intel Core processor, all-day battery¹, Instant On, and improved graphics — plus more multitasking connections, including both USB-C and USB-A ports.

I am a fan of the Surface line, having owned a Surface Pro 3 for several years. The Pro 3 was still serving me well, by the way, but the Pro 7 won me over with the addition of a USB-C port. The Pro 7 is fast and the extra battery life is a plus. I appreciate the fact that Microsoft has maintained consistency from the Pro 3 to the Pro 7 (in terms of compatibility with legacy docking stations and folios). I use the machine primarily for travel and love the fact that I can use my normal business applications without having to carry a bulkier or heavier machine. My Pro 3 worked so well that I felt okay about skipping three generations before updating to the Pro 7.

Hard to wax poetic over an adapter... but when you need one, you need one. I am glad Best Buy stocks the headphone adapter dongle for the Pixel 3... and I am glad the dongle is the Google brand. I tried another brand adapter in the past and it didn't work properly. Does exactly what it should: allows me to use whatever headphones I want with my Pixel 3.

Convert your home electrical system to an internet network with this NETGEAR Powerline 2000. It plugs into any outlet and accepts a network connection, and it lets you access up to Gigabit wired speeds in any room. This NETGEAR Powerline 2000 includes a standard outlet, so it doesn't even keep you from accessing electricity.

I needed to feed my Ethernet to a router near my entertainment center and didn't want to run a cable. This pair fit the bill perfectly. Easy setup and fast performance. Keep in mind that the units encroach a bit above the outlet they're plugged into; you can still plug in a 2-prong plug above them but not a 3-prong. That could be an issue for some, so it is good to know in advance. Very happy with my purchase.

Is there an annual renewal/subscription fee with this product?
No, this is a "purchase once" product. You are licensed to use it as long as you wish; that's the strength of the "purchase once" model. The downside, of course, is that you are not automatically upgraded to future versions (2022, 2023, 2024, presumably). The latter is the strength of the "subscription" model, typified by Microsoft 365.

Does this work with HP Chromebook?
Broadly, Chromebooks are designed for running web-based applications. There is not an "online" or "web-based" set of apps from WordPerfect, as far as I know. There are web-based apps from Google (Google Docs) and Word, so it would be good to check into those. If you ever switch to a Windows computer, I'm a huge fan of WordPerfect! For me it is worth buying just for the "Reveal Codes" feature, but it is also much more "intuitive" for me than other suites.

Mint Mobile is the easy way to save a ton on wireless. Get unlimited talk and text plus 5G · 4G LTE data on the T-Mobile Network, and you can even bring your own phone. Genius, right? Our New Customer Offers allow new users to purchase 3 months at our lowest possible rate to get started. And did you know, once your 3-month plan ends, you can choose to renew with a 3-, 6- or 12-month plan… the more you buy, the more you save. You'll get the same intro plan savings by renewing for 12 months.
Is that a one time purchase thing or do I have to pay 60$ each month for 3 months? Do I pay 60$ for 3 months or 180$ for 3 months?
The 3-Month package you are talking about ($60) covers three full months, at $20 per month. The Mint website right now is offering your choice of plans for $15 per month... that is, the 10 GB all the way up to "Unlimited." Of course that's a promotional thing and continuing after 3 months on the unlimited plan would presumably see the price revert back to normal.

is there mint mobile for iphone 13 pro max?
Not sure if you are asking if Mint sells the iPhone 13 Pro Max... which it does... or if you are asking if the iPhone 13 Pro Max is compatible with Mint... which it is. Here's the catch on the latter: your phone must be completely unlocked in order to use it on Mint. That is, if you bought it through another carrier, you have to be sure you've paid it off and had that carrier unlock it for you. That would be true not just to use your phone on Mint but for any other carrier. Hope that helps!

Can you use WordPerfect on apple products?
It is my understanding that there is not a version of WordPerfect that runs natively on a Mac. The only way to run WordPerfect on a Mac computer, therefore, is by installing Windows first, using software designed for that purpose. You can search for recommendations about the several approaches to running Windows on a Mac, but I would check a respected forum for Mac topics as a source. If you are only interested in the ability to open WordPerfect files on a Mac there is an open source word processor for the Mac that can open them. Hope that helps!

Will Corel WordPerfect work ln HP Stream computer and Core Draw sodtware
HP has made several configurations of Stream computers so it is hard to be definitive in regard to exactly what yours has. However, minimum system requirements for installing and running WordPerfect 2021 are surprisingly light. So long as you have about 3 GB free space on your hard drive and 2 GB RAM you should be able to run it with any of the processors that HP has used in the Stream computers. I am also assuming that you are still running Windows, of course. It isn't going to run like a rocket, particularly when your computer needs to access the hard drive, but it will run and be acceptable, similar to other things you run now. The only other approach would be to run Web-based apps like MS Office 365... but if I were you I'd stick with WordPerfect even just in order to use "Reveal Codes," a feature that makes life so much easier!
