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? 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.

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.

I do not think so, but you can certainly scan to a PDF and send the file by E-Mail or through an e-mail-to-fax service.

If your mobile hotspot allows you to plug in an RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect to the Asus router it should work fine. Some hotspots have an RJ45 port and some don't.

I want to purchase this for my son so I can track him on the GPS and also call/text him. Is this a problem if he does not have a phone to sync to? I have a watch paired to my phone already. Can i call/text him from my phone to his synced watch of same pho

I am assuming that your final sentence was going to say, "of same phone number?" If that is what you were asking, I'm 99% sure that the answer is "no." I'm doubtful that you can sync two watches to the same phone to begin with... but that's not the main obstacle. Even if you could, both watches would share the same phone number as the phone, and you can't call yourself; your call will take you to your voicemail box if you do.

For this to work, I believe you'd have to have a separate cell phone for your son, with its own number... and then the watch could make and receive calls independently even when the son's phone is somewhere else. Note that some functions depend upon the phone and watch being paired and connected to each other through Bluetooth.

Don't know about GPS tracking of his watch by your phone....

What does unlocked mean which is the other option next to BT (Blue Tooth)?

"Unlocked" means that the cellular capability of this watch (LTE) is not limited to a specific cell service provider. Some cell providers "lock" a watch or a phone to their specific service, to incentivize you to stay with them, usually in exchange for a discount on the price of the device. This watch will work with most any cell service provider.

That being said... check on the details of your cell plan to see if they charge a monthly fee for adding an LTE watch. You want to be sure you know that before setting up the watch. My plan allows my LTE service to be shared by the watch without additional charge; I'd have thought twice about an LTE watch if I had to pay an extra $5 or $10 a month for using it on my cell plan. Actually, I'd probably have switched to a different cell service rather than paying an extra fee.

Hope that helps!

ONLY after purchasing the Lonovo Yoga 7i, I could not connect to the internet using my existing ethernet cable and was advised that I must purchase an adapter to for this connection. What make, model, or other specifications are required?

Just about any "dongle" that adapts an RJ-45 ethernet cable to a USB male plug will work. You could choose one with either a USB-A male plug or a USB-C male plug, depending upon which port you'd like to use on the Yoga 7i. So long as the adapter says it is compatible with Windows it will work fine. These are very standard these days, as fewer laptops are thick enough to accommodate a full-size RJ-45 port.

You should check the official Lenovo specs for your specific model, but I believe that the Yoga 7i series laptops have only one SSD socket.

Did they solder on the RAM and forget to add a second slot so no one can ever upgrade?

RAM is not expandable for the Lenovo Yoga 7i laptop. That is becoming standard in laptops these days. Eliminating the expansion socket saves room on the motherboard (and probably saves manufacturing cost as well). It is important to buy a model with enough RAM not just for today but for five years from now.

Does Lenovo yogi have a virus protection system built in or does it need to be purchased?

All Windows computers include "Windows Defender," which provides some basic protection. However, it is prudent to install some form of additional antivirus software. You can turn to web sites like CNET or ZDNET or PCMAG or others to find recommendations for highly-rated antivirus programs. At the very least, I'd recommend that you install the most highly-rated free antivirus software. If you are careful about the web sites you visit and careful not to open e-mail attachments, the free anti-virus program might be reasonable. If several people use the computer I'd buy a top-rated, proactive program. Hope that helps!
