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!

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 needed an all-in-one for a small office, and the Dell Inspiron 24" filled the bill perfectly! Great for everyday tasks: e-mail, browsing, productivity apps. Love the touchscreen. It is a good looking unit along with being easy to set up, quick to start up, and responsive to use.

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.

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.

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 - Platinum
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.
