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 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.

Dell - Inspiron 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 - 512GB SSD
Dell Inspiron Laptop: Beat deadlines with this 15.6-inch Full HD Dell Inspiron laptop. The 512GB SSD offers fast start-ups and data access speeds, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card delivers clear, detailed visuals. This black Dell Inspiron laptop features an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM for high-speed responses.
Is this labeled wrong? Is this actually the Dell XPS 15 7590? Found this under a Google search for the Dell XPS 15 and the specs match up with that model and it seems a Dell Inspirion "7590" doesn't exist.
Just so my answer matches your precise question... I purchased the notebook labeled "Dell - Inspiron 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 - 512GB SSD - Abyss Black Model:I7590-7858BLK-PUS SKU:6381715." It definitely is a Dell Inspiron 7590 15.6" notebook... but after this model was made, Dell updated the 7590 Inspiron line to make them into 2-in-1 models with a touch screen. I realized that at the time I purchased this notebook, which offered great specs at a lower price than the "newest" 7690's. I didn't need a touch screen, so this was a great buy for me. The "7590" label designates a family with a lot of configurations, so it is good to check the numbers after the hyphen (-785BLK-PUS in my case) to make sure you are comparing the same configurations. Hope that helps!

Brother - HL-L2390DW Wireless Black-and-White All-In-One Refresh Subscription Eligible Laser Printer - Gray
Increase the efficiency of your office with this Brother laser printer. It's engineered to print up to 32 pages per minute*, and its flatbed scan glass supports scanning and copying capabilities for added functionality. This Brother laser printer has built-in wireless and USB interfaces for convenient printing from mobile devices.
Does this printer print address labels?
The short answer is "yes," assuming you mean the Laser Printer Address Labels available from Avery and others. I use the "3 X 10" format of labels, for example. It is important to use address labels that are specifically for use in a laser printer because they have backing and adhesive that can survive the high heat used in the fusing process of the printer.
Secondly... it is not a great idea to run label sheets through the printer multiple times (when you've printed only some of the labels on a page and then are tempted to "re-use" the remaining partial page). I confess that I often run a sheet through the printer twice... if I've printed only a partial sheet, I'll save it and run it through a second time for another partial sheet full... but I never do it more than twice.
Thirdly... I use the "manual feed paper slot" to feed the sheet of labels through the printer, just because the straight paper path reduces any chance of labels coming off the sheet in the printing process (which has never happened to me, so I'm probably overly cautious).
If you regularly print one or a few labels at a time, you might consider investing in a dedicated address label printer, as you don't waste supplies that way.
I love the printer, by the way!
Hope that helps!

Logitech - M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse - Gray/Blue
Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse: Easily use your computer for long periods of time with this trackball mouse, which allows you to precisely navigate features with minimal wrist movement. Enjoy lasting comfort thanks to the sculpted shape, which supports the curves of your hand.
Is there any way to clean the switch contacts on the left button on this mouse. The one I have is 5 or 6 years old. It seems to have a Key bounce problem. It almost instantly opens and closes windows, or deletes cell contents in Excel Spreadsheets.
This turns out to be a not-uncommon issue. It is possible to replace the micro switch inside the trackball, but you should only try this if you are experienced with un-soldering and soldering on a printed circuit board. It is pretty straightforward if you're comfortable with soldering. See this YouTube video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlzEmRnu4DQ
At least that will give you a clear idea about what you'd be getting into. As you will see, the micro switches themselves are sealed so you can't clean the contacts... you replace the whole switch.
Hope that helps!

This black Dell Inspiron laptop features an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM for high-speed responses.
Why can't I find this model (Dell Inspiron 15 7590) in the Dell official website？
It looks to me as if Dell has released a newer version of this, the Dell Inspiron 15 7591. This is the time of year when they refresh a lot of their models. The 7590 I purchased has a ninth generation i7, which is still quite new. I'm guessing that the 7591 has a 10th generation chip. They usually discount the remaining stock of the model they are replacing, so for me the laptop I bought was a bargain.

Microsoft - Surface Pro 7 - 12.3" Touch Screen - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD with Black Type Cover - Multi
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.
Looking to buy a new tablet. Looking at the Surface Pro 7 with a Core i5 and 8GB memory with 128GB SSD, or a Surface Pro X with the same memory storage. Any idea on which one is better? Looking to replace my laptop with this tablet. Thanks.
These are two very different machines... almost an apple and an orange. The Pro 7 uses Windows 10 and accommodates all Windows programs natively. So far, there is not a model of the Pro 7 that includes LTE.
The Pro X is Microsoft's foray into a new "form factor" for mobile computing. It does not use the standard Intel / AMD chip architecture but instead uses a customized version of an ARM chip; ARM chips would typically be used in cell phones and some Android tablets. It offers longer battery life and LTE connectivity... but it is not compatible with certain Windows programs / apps because it runs them by emulation. Lots of games won't run, for example. That being said... if you want Office apps and browsing, this could be a perfect choice for you.

Can additional ram be added
The Surface Pro 7 does not allow for installation of additional RAM. (Just to be clear... one can expand storage with a MicroSD storage card, but RAM memory cannot be expanded). The new Surface Laptop 3 i worth exploring if you need that ability for the future.

Does this one have the option to add LTE/Sim Card?
As of yet, Microsoft has not indicated any plan to offer a Surface Pro 7 with LTE; that doesn't mean they won't, but there doesn't seem to be any murmuring about it. You probably know that there is an LTE version of the Microsoft Go, but that is quite a different machine. For some folks the new Pro X would be a good LTE option, but that would depend upon the applications you need / want to use.
