I bought a Dell Inspiron 27" Touchscreen AIO about 2 years ago, and was so pleased with it that I bought a second for another family member, and now a third for another. Great combination of features at a very fair price. The touchscreen is very responsive and the performance is crisp. I use it for general business; I've never used it for games of anything more than light photo editing so I can't speak to intensive tasks. The design is attractive and there is a good selection of ports for my purposes. I've used Lenovo AIO machines before and like them as well, but this one provided the features I wanted at a better price.

I have two other pieces from the Samsonite Ascella 3.0 line, but I would have purchased this bag anyway. For me it is the perfect size... it has the option of a shoulder strap... and it has a slide on the back to let it nest securely on the handles of a larger roller bag. It seems very well made and durable. While I have only taken one trip since buying it, I'm very happy with my choice!

I have been skeptical about whether a smart watch would offer sufficient useful features for me, and the Samsung Watch 6 has won me over. Easy setup and "pairing" with my Samsung phone; great display options; very helpful to be able to receive a quick call when I don't have my phone (requires the LTE version, of course); battery life is good with the "always on" display enabled, but is fantastic when I choose to turn on the display only when I need it. I don't yet use the fitness features so there is more to explore. By the way... I recommend the screen protector as a worthwhile purchase, especially for those with an active lifestyle.

I needed a Wi-Fi router for a temporary office area, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Setup is easy and it works well. While I wanted an inexpensive router because this is a temporary situation, this one performs like a more expensive unit. I would buy it again! Have had very good luck with ASUS routers.

I was looking for one charger to use for travel that is able to handle everything from my cell phone to my laptop computer. This one does the trick and performs flawlessly. Be sure that you use a charging cable capable of handling the wattage of the device you are charging, especially for a notebook pc.

I am a big fan of the Lenovo Yoga line. The Yoga 7i 16" is sleek, light for its size, and very fast. The screen is beautiful and responsive. The keyboard is comfortable and the backlighting is a huge help in a room with low lighting. The sound is good for a notebook. Would make the same choice again!

It is hard to speak eloquently about a toner cartridge. It is as simple as this: because I print checks on my Brother printer, I can't afford the hassle of dealing with "less than perfect" pages. Maybe other folks have had good luck with non-OEM (refilled) toner cartridges, but I have not. For me, it is well worth the price of the Brother toner to have peace of mind with my printing.

We needed a phone for a long-term visitor and chose the Moto-G Power (2022) because we've had good luck with Motorola phones in the past. This one provided everything we need at a great price. Call quality is excellent and the phone's response is very fast. And, true to the name, battery life is excellent. I'd buy it again.

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? 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.

I was reluctant to try a prepaid cell plan not offered directly by one of the "big three" carriers. I figured that there had to be a "catch" of some kind. My experience with Mint has changed my mind. Setup was easy... cell signal strength has been great... call quality is excellent... there is nothing that I had to give up in order to save a lot each month. Why didn't I do this before?
By the way... while my purchase date is recent, that is because this was a second purchase, for another family member. I bought my first Mint sim in May and had such a good experience that I bought a second one for someone else.

The perfect choice for creators, IT professionals or everyday users, the latest 870 EVO has indisputable performance, reliability and compatibility built upon Samsung’s pioneering technology.
 

Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive: Can I install this in my HP Elitebook 1040 G4 or Dell Latitude 7420?

Generally speaking, this physical format SSD is used to replace an older style mechanical (spinning) hard drive. The 2.5" format is designed to drop into the spot that held a mechanical hard drive. My best guess is that your Dell Latitude 7420 already has a solid state drive of the NVME format. The HP model number has been used over a longer time period, so you would need to determine what kind of hard drive is in your HP. If it is a 2.5" mechanical drive, this one would replace it. If you have a SSD drive already (in either machine), and simply want to install a higher capacity drive, you likely need an NVME format, which Samsung also sells. Bottom line: you absolutely need to know what is in there now, and match that physical format. Hope that helps.

 Insignia™ - 43&quot; Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV
Insignia™ - 43" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV
This 43-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 1080p full HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-43D420NA20 43" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV.
 

How do I use this tv if there is no internet? do i need a cable or an antenna? if so what kind of antenna.

This TV is, in some ways, "old school." That is, you get a TV signal either through connecting it to your cable TV or you can connect an HDTV external antenna... of which there are a lot of choices. If you connect via cable you will receive all of the channels you subscribe to through your cable company. If you use an HDTV external antenna you will receive ONLY the over-the-air digital TV channels available in your area. (You can find a list of the available over-the-air signals in your area by entering "over-the-air TV stations near me" in your browser search bar).

This model does not connect to internet because it does not have "smart TV" functionality built-in. That was one reason I chose this model: it is for a person who struggles with technology, and for whom a selection of streaming channels would be confusing. I wanted a TV that is as straightforward as possible, and this fits the bill nicely. Note that you can always add a streaming stick later on, from any of the popular brands.

You can choose from a wide range of external HDTV antennas: some with a stand for use indoors; some that stick to a nearby window; and, some that mount in the attic or on the roof. Choosing the right one will depend upon how near/far you are from the broadcast towers and the kind of obstacles (buildings or hills) between you and there.

Lenovo - Yoga 7i 2-in-1 14" Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Evo Platform Core i5 - 12GB Memory - 512GB Solid State Drive

Go anywhere with a sleek 2-in-1 metal chassis featuring thoughtful details including a webcam privacy shutter.
 

If the original charger is broken what can I do?

If the original power adapter for a Lenovo Yoga 7i notebook is broken it should still be under warranty, since the 7i line was released less than six months ago. The Lenovo web site has replacements for sale as well... but keep in mind that the replacement charger MUST be able to provide at least the same amount of charge wattage to the notebook as the original. These new chargers have what is called "power delivery" circuitry that "matches" the charger output to what is needed by the notebook... and with the newer Lenovo Yoga notebooks, the notebook simply will not charge if you connect a lower wattage charger than the one specified.

Look at the specifications on your defective power adapter and note the number of watts listed for the output voltage... I'm assuming it is 65 or higher. You can buy a non-Lenovo power adapter that has "Power Delivery" abilities, a USB-C output cable, and is rated for at least 65 watts (or the number listed on your charger. Anker sells 100 watt PD chargers, for example... but don't buy anything with a lower wattage rating than that listed on your current adapter, as it simply won't work.

That's a start... though not a complete answer.

 Brother - HL-L2370DW Wireless Black-and-White Refresh Subscription Eligible Laser Printer - Gray
Brother - HL-L2370DW Wireless Black-and-White Refresh Subscription Eligible Laser Printer - Gray
Boost your productivity with this Brother laser printer. It prints at speeds of up to 36 pages per minute*, helping you quickly accomplish common tasks, and its 250-sheet capacity lets you print large jobs without pausing to refill. This Brother laser printer boasts wireless connectivity that allows convenient use via all connected devices.
 

Can this printer print on heat transfer paper ?

Yes... but with two major considerations: First, you MUST buy heat transfer paper designed for a LASER PRINTER. Most heat transfer paper is designed for inkjet printers. Second, you need to make sure that your graphics program can take care of reversing the image prior to printing, if that is going to be necessary. Otherwise the heat transfer will end up on the T-Shirt backwards.

This Brother laser printer boasts wireless connectivity that allows convenient use via all connected devices.
 

Why my Brother- HL- L2370DW has a 1/4 inch thick black line on every page that I print?

Have you pulled out the drum/toner cartridge combination and used the "corona wire cleaner" lever at the far end of the assembly? It is a rectangular green slider that you move a few times back and forth, and it cleans any debris clinging to the "charging" or "corona wire" inside the drum assembly. If toner clings to the wire you will find the kind of vertical line(s) you describe. If that doesn't solve the problem, it is likely that the drum has been damaged or was defective. Those are the only two explanations I can think of. Hope that helps!

Does the printer come with a cartridge

Yes, the Brother HL-L2370DW laser printer comes with a toner cartridge. Note that Brother, as is true of most laser printer manufacturers, includes a "starter" toner cartridge with the printer. It is rated for 700 pages, but that "standard rating" envisions fairly light coverage on each page, resembling a business letter. Most of the things folks actually do have a little more coverage on each page, so I've found that the starter cartridge is good for closer to 500 pages. Also keep in mind that replacement toner cartridges from Brother come in three "capacities": a standard, a high-yield, and a super high-yield. Same physical cartridges, different amounts of toner inside. With my printing volume being fairly modest I find that the high-yield cartridge lasts a very long time. Hope that helps!

Maximize productivity in your small office with this 36 ppm* Brother wireless all-in-one laser printer. Its 50-sheet document feeder and two-sided scanning and photocopying capability save time spent flipping originals. This NFC-compatible Brother wireless all-in-one laser printer comes with one high-yield and one super-high-yield toner cartridge for up to 7500 pages of output.
 

will this laser printer print in reverse order - last page first

Yes, indeed! The Brother MFC-L2750DW XL can print in reverse order. This is a function of the printer driver / software rather than of the printer itself. Note that under the "Preferences" tab in the attached photo you will find additional great options for creating booklets or printing multiple pages on each sheet of paper. You can also set whether 1-sided or 2-sided printing is the default. Similarly, the included Brother Utilities software has some great options for the "Scanning" module along with some other useful tools.

How many pages per minute does it scan?

Kind of an "it depends" answer. That is to say, scan speed depends upon whether you are scanning black and white or color, and the resolution at which you are scanning. The limiting factor here isn't the speed of the Automatic Document Feeder... it is the scanning process itself. (Makes sense when you think about it: the scanning process is slower when you are capturing more detail and more colors).

Regular monochrome documents scanned single-sided scan at about 22 pages per minute. For color, about 7. If your originals are double-sided you need to cut those numbers in half.

can it print 199g/m 110 lb cardstock high volumes

In full disclosure... I've never actually tried that, but.... Here is some context: card stock generally comes in five weights: 65, 80, 100, 110, and 130... so 110 pound card stock is really thick. It certainly would not work in the standard paper tray as it simply won't bend in the "S" curve paper path used by most laser printers. I have serious doubts about using paper that heavy even in the "straight through" manual paper path, exiting out the back of the printer... Brother specifies a maximum of 43# paper for the manual feed path. It sounds to me as if you would need a specialized printer of some sort... more of a commercial machine. You could consider clear laser labels, which come in various sizes.

will it scan to email?

Yes, you can scan to e-mail. That is one of the default "choices" in the scanning software. The first time you use that feature you need to tell it which e-mail program you use so that it knows what application to start so that it can attach your scanned image to an e-mail message. Of course you can also just save the scanned file to your computer and then attach it manually to a message yourself.
