Was looking for something compact to fit in a tight spot... something with a pull handle (rather than a push button)... and something with clear, easy controls for a variety of users. This fit the bill perfectly! It looks great, seems well built, and cooks well. I especially like the selection of buttons... has buttons for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 minutes and then + and - from there... which was a better choice for me as opposed to the standard keypad. Love it!

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've looked at Mint Mobile several times and decided to take the leap and test it on an extra phone. The service in my area is quite good, with excellent call quality. This is a T-Mobile MVNO so it should work well if T-Mobile is strong in your area. Setup was easy, it includes use of phone as a hotspot, and the plan is a bargain for me. I'm sold!

Needed something simple for occasional use and the Moto G Pure fit the bill at a very fair price. Screen is big and bright, not loaded with unwanted apps, call quality is very good and performance is snappy. Build seems solid. The only thing to keep in mind is that 32 GB of built-in storage is low (though you can put in a MicroSD card to expand)... but that could be an important factor if you store a lot of photos, etc. With everything I need loaded about half the 32 GB is free.

I have been a WordPerfect user since the first version, and even though my office uses MS Office, I always buy a personal copy of each new version of WordPerfect. For my money, "Reveal Codes" makes it worth buying, but there's so much more. I find the typographical controls so much easier to use in WordPerfect. A very high-end office suite at an unbeatable price.

I have chosen this drive model several times to update different laptop PCs, replacing mechanical hard drives. In every case the migration (using Samsung's software from their web site) has gone perfectly, and the speedup has been dramatic. For me, the "plus" is the Samsung software, which creates a bootable replacement drive for me each and every time, on the first try. Highly recommended!

I am a big fan of the Brother laser printer line, and the HL-2370DW is a great example of why. It is compact, fast, and has great print quality... all at a low price. I appreciate the fact that the drum is separate from the toner cartridges so that you can replace only what is needed, unlike with brands that combine those two units into one. I needed a compact, simple printer for a friend... yet one with automatic double-sided printing (when needed) and the ability to connect via Wi-Fi. Very pleased, and would buy it again.

The Brother MFC-L2710DW really fit the bill in terms of features and print speed and quality, at a very good price point. I appreciate that Brother separates the toner cartridge and the drum so that you don't end up replacing both each time you run out of toner. One helpful thing for me was setting which of the "app" buttons was the default at power up... I chose to have the "Copy" button the default each time the printer starts up. I like the Brother scan software as well, with its four pre-sets. I rarely have to adjust any settings except for very specific tasks. Would buy the same printer again.

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.

I have a variety of cameras on home, office, and travel computers. I was looking for something with a good image that was more affordable, for use in a temporary second office. I really like this Logitech C920S... the image is very good and the sound pickup is excellent. It seems to have a more stable and usable clip for sitting on top of the monitor than other cameras I've had. I'd purchase the same camera again.

First... I needed a rolling bag that would be able to fit a 16" laptop and an HP OfficeJet 200 mobile printer, along with the accessories for both. Because this bag has two larger inner compartments, everything fit perfectly. Instead of the mobile printer I sometimes pack a ream of paper for handouts, and this bag accommodates that easily. Note that it does NOT have clasps for a shoulder strap, nor does it have a "sleeve" on the back for sliding over the handle of a larger piece of luggage... so keep that in mind. Some bags of this type have a larger number of thinner interior compartments, but I needed this 2-compartment approach. Highly recommend this bag... but be sure it has the features you're looking for.

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.

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.

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.
