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? Our New Customer Offers allow new users to purchase 3 months at our lowest possible rate to get started. 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.

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.
 

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."
