I got this for new laptop and easy to install , a caveman can do it .. but as a caveman i could find disk manager of win10 ,, since caveman has only used vista and xp .. but once caveman was smart enough to find it ,, you need to partition and format this drive to use ... everything is still new and working after a couple of weeks now ..

The bag is 18 inches wide as i measured with 18" ruler , see photo ,, my dell is just under 16 inches and you can see it inside the bag
the material and straps looks really nice and strong to carry any and everything that i can would fit in this .. i would have gotten the 3 gusset ,, but BB did not have it ..
I also got a logicteck keyboard too ,, you can see it next to the bag and of course fit inside .. i have a microsoft 850 kb and it just barely fit in too as it is 18" wide ,, which is the reason for getting the logicTeck kb ..

i got this for the large screen to do photo editing .. my dino laptop pc that are running on vista and xp with 12" and 15" display are the pits now and with no more support and even for net browsing and running slow ... plus i did not want to do even upgrade to win7 on those fossil laptop as i felt any hardware problems that might be was not worth the trouble to ... as i seen ,, doing that to some of my older desktops ...
so far , this seems to be a middle ground of laptop choices and based on other reviews and got this on a sale ,, i too bought a 1tb ssd to swap out the 1TB hdd and upped the memory to 32gb ... which only has 2 slots,, so i now have extra 2 sodimm 8gb to sell now ...
but i am little more happier to edit photo while traveling now ,, but it still is not as good as the 32" monitor i use with my desktop home .. there is a major viewing quality difference .. if you are looking at high resolution photo to edit ..
I only been using this for about 2 weeks,, and win10 take a bit of getting use to .. but network browsing is fast ,, biggie difference now .. a first view of my flickr photos seem darker that i needed to brighten up the laptop screen so to show my posted photo in its best colors and lighting .. connecting to an external monitor let it all shine .. .however ,, while traveling it will just be the laptop..
I likely will not be playing games on this ,, and it is still too early for me to give a better review ,, but posting early is for the extra rewards points ,,, that BB is prompting me to do this now .

this rasor is very comfortable shaver compared to remingtons that i been using for decades .. the wahl cutters cut like scissors ,, the old remingtons is like a blade scrapping hairs off your skin ,, so there is pulling too ..
you don't feel any pulling torture with this wahl .. i been using it for 2 years and very happy with this .. and it also cuts longer hairs better too if i don't shave for a few days ...

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?
the one i purchased ,, all the accessories were in a sealed clear plastic bag ,, if you get a box with all loose accessories not in a sealed bag ,, i guess you now know what ..

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast.

Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Double your camera's battery life without adding a lot of bulk with this Canon battery grip. Vertically positioned controls offer easy access to the camera's shutter release and AF controls. Compatible with the Mark IV DSLR camera, this Canon battery grip offers room for up to two Li-ion battery packs.
I thinking of ordering Canon Mark IV 5d body only. Before placing order include a free Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip-black. Do you know if batteries is included in the grip. Please advise Thank you.
Insignia™ - 9' Extension Power Cord
Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
