We're using it as a small office computer. Does the job! With the I7 processor you get smooth speeds. I guess you save $100 bucks with only 12 GB instead of 16 GB of memory. I assume since the video card is part of the system, the 4 GB helps instead of the usual 8 GB most work stations have that share headroom 4/4.

I was replacing a low volume reception area stereo that was getting wonky changing channels randomly when you pressed volume. This iLive unit was small enough and at the right price. The speakers are removable by sliding them up. After 5 minutes, I slid them up and tossed them! The speakers use a plug system so I snipped them off and spliced them to the "old" speakers' bare wires and everything sounds listenable again. I gave it a 3 because the head works just fine, -2 for the speakers that I threw away.

I bought the $259 Best Buy package which included the Action cam along with this battery package which is invaluable since the normal price for just the cam was $369! And two extra batteries will keep you shooting for quite a while!

I compared the Hero 8 Black with this one before I purchased. I don't think you would go wrong with either. The Hero has warm colors and the Action more subdued maybe 10-20%. But in post I believe you can do LUTS easier with less than toning down more. Besides the front screen on the Action (I don't really do vlogs though), my ultimate decision was the Action's replaceable lens. The Hero 8 is now not replaceable! Crack it and it's back to the factory. I own the Pocket also so I have a matching pair. And DJI is the king for consumer drones. I have my older Hero 5 also for alternative shooting. I repeat, though, you won't go wrong with either . . . until you scratch the lens.
Another thing that helped my decision, Best Buy ran a special for $259 WITH the battery charger and two extra batteries and I couldn't pass up a $140 savings when the Hero package was at $400. Since I already had all the GoPro mount kits and pieces, they work with the Action also.

You cannot go wrong with Samsung. This was a replacement drive for a failed Seagate SATA drive on a Dell AIO box which was grinding and not booting. It was much smaller than the cavity but a little velcro will keep it in place. Although at present the machine only has Win 10 Pro and the timed boot up is 15-20 seconds even with the BIOS. My main desktop has a similar drive and with many more programs, it boots in 40 secs. So far, it's a winner!

The unit looked as good as new right out of the box. What was nice was the reinstalled OS was free of all the HP bloatware! Runs great but this is a heavy computer with a power supply almost as big as the computer! Slight exaggeration but not by much. But as a stationary or desktop replacement, it's a good deal.

You can get more bangs and whistles for a few hundred dollars more but I caught this package on sale for $600 around Christmas time and gave myself a present! It had shot up to $800 as was eyeing it for over a year. With the appearance of the DJI Mini 2K Fly More pkg @ $500, when I stumbled on this for $100 more and 4K, I hit the "Buy Now" button. With a 6-gang $30 charger you can keep the 3 batteries and the control charged along with your phone/tablet with an extra slot available. It has "Smart" batteries so they regulate themselves.
My virgin flight was in the hills of TN with 20 mph winds and in the 30's. She performed like a champ and I got decent battery times even in the cold. And I had another two batteries to fly on.
The bag which comes with the kit is basically the "drone only" case sewed on the top of this with ample room for everything you see above and room for cables, extra props, paperwork, etc. Self-contained and easy to transport.
One warning: if you want to add accessories like prop guards or leg extenders, neither will fit the compartment as designed. It's a "put them on and take them off" situation and anyone who has purchased the feet will know that is not "quick release" for a certain type that is advertised as such. A modification would be necessary.
But it is a very functional system and fun to fly while getting near professional footage/photos. And does not require an advanced degree! The Mini avoids registration for it weight. But for $5 registration and $100, you get 4K and a few other features. You decides.

More and more monitors and computer cards are going mostly HDMI these days. But when your business still has functional VGA monitors for that second screen, these come in handy. Expensive but cheaper than replacing the monitor!

Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

Will this work with Sony XR-65X-95K tv and Optimum cable box?
With every remote for the past 20 years or so, the mfg gives a list of categorized codes printed in font size -10 in neutral grey ink to punch into remotes to find the working formula. This is no different. I go to the mfg website and download the pdf manual so I can ZOOM in. Much easier! No pain, no gain!

will this work on a sony UBP-X700 blu ray player?
From the information provided: A device is compatible if the 1) correct tip is available, 2) voltage is between 3 and 12 V DC, 3) input does not require more than 1.3 A of current, and 4) polarity is positive. Not for use with laptops.
You need to compare the specs on your defunct power supply to see if they match. For instance, if voltage (it has a switchable voltage!) matches. If the plug fits. And if your old one doesn't require 2 or 3 amps or above, you're good.

Im not tech savy . So that being said , does this operate wirelessly from my modem and or my cell phone ?
No, not @ $49.95 or so. It has a wireless remote, though. And you could hook up a device with the proper mini-stereo cable if your phone has the out jack on it. I've posted in other questions that the speakers on this is atrocious. However, I connected the speakers from its predecessor which sounded great.

Large devices like a TV with an external power supply USUALLY are similar in power consumption to laptop. This unit is designed to replace the power of something that would be using batteries like AA,AAA, C, D or 9V. TV's and laptops have heavier current needs than this would handle.

Will this work for arcade1up turtles machine??
I don't know that device. What's important when replacing the power supply of anything is to compare voltage, wattage and amperage. This unit works from 12V to 3V (or the voltage of two AA, AAA, C or D common battery@1.5V each.) This has a 1.3 amp upper limit and a wattage output of 15W. These are the two critical measurements! If your device draws more than 1.3 amps, this supply will work for a little while until it burns out minutes later! Or your house whichever goes first . . . This also why the put the comment "Not to be used for laptops." They draw too much current for this little thing. Generally speaking, if your device can use AA,AAA, C,D or 9 volt batteries, you're good. Most devices that use external power supplies will have voltage and amperage marked on its case by the power jack or if you have it's old power supply, it'll be marked. If your device exceeds those of the power supply, look for a better supply. Be safe!
