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.

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.
 

What happens to the scanner file if it doesn't scan to USB? Just to the laptop file? Does the system come with scanning software to help modify the scan in case it's too dark, needs color enhsncement, needs cropping, etc.?

This printer comes with Brother "Control Center 4" scanning software, which offers a lot of options in terms of the file type you want to create, the scan resolution, whether you want to scan in black and white, gray scale, or color, and where you want the file to be sent. The scanning software has adjustments for brightness and contrast as well. It has four pre-set "uses" by default and you can customize those. So, if you want to create a PDF or a graphic image (like a photo), you make that choice up front. Whether you connect it to your computer with a wireless, network, or USB connection doesn't affect the way the software works: the scanned file always is sent to your computer.

All of that being said... and just to be clear... the software does NOT include photo editing features to adjust photos AFTER they have been scanned. Windows includes some rudimentary features to do that, and you can find free programs for photo adjustments.

Hope that helps!

Can this machine print envelopes? Thanks

Yes, the Brother MFC-L2750DW can print envelopes... but as is true with all laser printers, there are caveats. The most reliable approach is using the manual paper tray so that the envelope doesn't have to bend around as it is fed into the printer... the manual printer tray allows heavier paper or an envelope to feed directly into the printer. In theory you can load envelopes into the main paper tray but I've never tried it. If you have to print more than a few envelopes I recommend using laser labels instead. Printing multiple envelopes using any laser printer will be a frustrating experience... for an occasional few envelopes using the manual feed tray, this works great.

Is this downloadable to Mac computer

There has not been a native Mac version of WordPerfect for quite a long time. You can install Windows on a Mac (and can find guidance online about options for doing that), and then run WordPerfect under that Windows installation. It is all done through an emulation process and I've never done it myself, so I can't comment as to whether it would work well. It seems like a lot to go through, but I'd guess that if I were a Mac user I'd be inclined to try it, since I'm such a fan of WordPerfect.

With the Logitech C270 Webcam, you can confidently join any video meeting knowing you’ll always have quality audio and video. Our most affordable camera, the C270 Webcam is an upgrade for your laptop or desktop with practical features that outperform most built-in laptop cameras. It supports crisp HD 720p/30 fps video calls with diagonal 55° field of view. Logitech’s RightLight technology adjusts to your lighting conditions, producing brighter images to help you look good even in low-light and backlit situations. And the noise-reducing mic makes sure your voice comes across clearly, even in busy environments.
 

how does it clip on to the top of a desktop monitor?

This depends upon how thick the monitor is at the top. Most taper toward the top such that the top edge is less thick, and a webcam should work well in that situation. For some "business" style monitors I've noticed that the top edge is quite "thick" or deep... and the mount that comes with most webcams isn't going to adapt to that. Basically, the mount has a rubberized base under the camera, with a lip that goes over the front of the monitor. The rest of the mount is a hinged arm that you adjust so that its rubberized foot presses against the back of the monitor. The camera is held in place on top by the lip, and on the bottom by the rubberized foot pressing against the monitor back. For that to work, the monitor needs to be thinner toward the top. I suspect you could do some adaptation with Velcro strips or something like that, should the monitor be thick at the top.

can you adjust or zoom in or out for the image

With this model, as with most inexpensive webcams, you can't really zoom. The camera tilts up and down manually in order to frame the image properly... and you "control" how close or far the subject is by moving the camera closer to you or farther away. If you need digital zoom on a webcam you're limited to the higher-end units, and the feature descriptions will mention that ability. By the way... activating the digital zoom is almost always a feature of added software that you download from the camera manufacturer; it is not a function of physical controls on the camera, at least on most webcams. To get into the fuller range of photo adjustments you'd look for a video camera rather than a webcam.

My laptop doesn't have a camera, can it be used on laptops?

I have to limit my comment to laptops running Windows 10, as that is the context for my experience. Indeed, this camera should work quite well for your laptop, if it uses Windows. The hinged mount sits securely on the top lip of the screen, and the camera is then adjustable in terms of angle. The camera has a built-in mic and both the camera and the mic use a single USB cable. There is an indicator light that glows when the camera is in use, but I'd probably unplug it or cover it when you're not using it. Logitech makes great cameras... this one is inexpensive but does a fine job with Zoom, etc.

The 8000 BTU of cooling power helps keep your room at a comfortable temperature, while the three modes provide flexible functionality. This white Insignia portable air conditioner has a built-in sleep mode for energy savings, and the included remote control ensures easy operation.
 

is this one discontinued? I can not find the manual on Insignia website

I don't think it is discontinued... just bought one in the last month. However, the PDF manual on all three Insignia portable A.C. units I was looking at are corrupted and not able to be opened. Best Buy needs to fix that on its website. I wanted to use the manual to find the length of the heat-exhaust hose because of my unusual window arrangement, and couldn't open any of the manuals. Fortunately, the hose is quite expandable and more than long enough for what I needed.

This white Insignia portable air conditioner has a built-in sleep mode for energy savings, and the included remote control ensures easy operation.
 

I'm a little confused. The Insignia 300 sq. ft. unit says the condensation evaporates automatically but the 350 sq. ft. unit says it has to be manually drained. Is this correct and if so why the difference?

I'm a fairly new owner of this unit so I don't consider myself an expert... but, as I understand it, there are two water collection systems linked to different functions. When running the unit in air conditioner mode, a smaller amount of water is collected in the bottom pan of the unit. Natural evaporation, aided by some of the warmth and air movement generated by the running unit, would normally take care of that water collection... unless one happened to be in an EXTREMELY humid environment. In that case, it is possible to drain that pan. The second collection area is linked to the dehumidifier function of the unit, which one can choose to run. Since the purpose of that function is specifically to remove moisture from the air, it collects more water in the upper chamber, which would need to be drained on a regular basis. Note that there is a standard bushing to accept a short length of hose for the purpose of draining... not a removable collection container. I drain mine into a bucket with a short length of hose, though you could roll it to a floor drain or roll it to an outside door and use the hose to drain the water into the lawn.

The unit will run for a little while, then it will start beeping and all of the lights start flashing. Is this an error with the unit?

First: I have not experienced this with my Insignia portable air conditioner. Just to rule out any other possibility I'd make sure that the water has been drained from both collection areas... which I'm sure you would have thought of already. Barring that, my assumption would be that the unit needs to be serviced. Just as an example... if the unit were to have lost some or most of its coolant, it could act like this because it could overheat through having to run its compressor too much without effect. If it were mine I'd assume it needs service.
