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.

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.
 

Does the Surface have built in gps chip ?

The Surface Pro 7 does not have GPS hardware. It uses Windows' Location Service (via WiFi) for location, but that is not as accurate as true GPS hardware would be.

 MagicJack - GO VoIP Adapter with 12 Months of Service
MagicJack - GO VoIP Adapter with 12 Months of Service
Use your existing Internet connection to place local and long-distance calls using this MagicJack GO K1103 VoIP adapter, which includes 12 months of service and voicemail, caller ID and more to help you stay connected with family and friends.
 

What version of magic jack doe Best Buy have, 2018 or 2017?

First: I am by no means an expert on MagicJack. However, I haven't found documentation about a 2018 vs a 2017 model. My impression is that the MagicJack Go, which is the one I bought from Best Buy, is the most current model. The "Go" comes with 12 months of service included.

There is an "Express" model which comes with only 3 months of service included. People say that it is a less expensive way to try out the service. Other than some cosmetic differences and the different lengths of included service, my impression is that these two are the same.

Note that the "Go" is black with blue trim, while the "Express" is white with blue trim. The "Go" is the only product listed on the MagicJack web site.

Someone else might have better information, but I just don't find any info about a 2017 vs 2018 model of the MagicJack Go.

This does just what I needed, by the way: providing a landline for use during long conference calls.

Convert your home electrical system to an internet network with this NETGEAR Powerline 2000. It plugs into any outlet and accepts a network connection, and it lets you access up to Gigabit wired speeds in any room. This NETGEAR Powerline 2000 includes a standard outlet, so it doesn't even keep you from accessing electricity.
 

I have an outbuilding about 20 feet from my house that does not get any type of reception. If I plug one receiver in my house and the other in the garage do I need to get another router to get WiFi or will the receiver provide a signal?

First: the outbuilding and the house MUST be on the same circuit breaker panel or this pair will not work. Make sure that the outbuilding does not have its own feed directly from the power company (which would mean that it has its own meter, too). If you are on the same breaker panel... then, yes, you would need a separate WiFi access point for the remote end. This unit provides a wired Ethernet port on the remote end, not a WiFi connection. There are setups that do what you are asking about... they are "WiFi extenders over power line."
