I got tired of getting wires tangled when using my gaming laptop. Searched high and low and purchased this based on the tech stats and Logitech's reputation. I was not disappointed. I actually get significant longer play on the battery than the specs. There is a handy batter meter on the top that is the 3 lights by the wheel. You can easily game all day with this mouse.

For a magnetic phone mount a critical option is the feet at the bottom for extra support. If you mount the metal disc under a case.
However, once it gets hot in the car from the sun the glue tends to give way and your phone goes crashing to the floor
My dash had been well cleaned prior to mounting.

I always buy this with computers. I spend a lot of money on a computer and computers can quit working. NOT the fault of Best Buy. Things happen.
Geek squad service plan isn't always something I need to use. But when I have used it the plan has saved me a lot of money on repairs. Best Buy does not manufacture their products and without this plan you need to rely on the good graces of the manufacturer's warranty service

I didn't have high hopes for this game, it was really a filler between major titles. But this turned out to be a high octane adventure of fun. It really reminded me of the movie Road Warrior and had a surprising level of complexity I was not expecting when first starting it.

I am not a fan of Apple phones or computers. I have owned a selection of brands of tablets and the iPad is the best. I use it for eBooks, streaming video, Face Time, email, and general information browsing. It is worth the extra money for the better performance and quality.

This 40-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 1080p full HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-40D510NA21 40" Class N10 Series LED Full HD TV.
 

How far apart are the legs of the tv and how wide are they. I have a stand that is 19 inch wide. will it fit

Typically on most TV's the legs are on the outer limits of the width of the TV. These are a couple inches from the edge.

Or about 34 inches

Your going to want to look for a TV that is about 20" or has a single pedestal in the middle. Which is not common anymore

Can this pc run at 240 monitor

Yes it can. The RTX 2080 Super is more than capable. However, I personally believe that is a little bit of a gimmick. I would challenge anyone running the same game on identical computers side by side to see the difference between 144 and 240 mhz without using equipment to analyze it.

However, I would strongly suggest a G-Sync monitor to go with it.

 ASUS - AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
ASUS - AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
Take your smart home to the next level with this ASUS router. Boosted Wi-Fi speeds and intelligent signals streaming directly to each of your devices will keep your busy wireless network running smoothly, just the way you want.
 

Can you just add a router and have it dedicated to just one computer in a house with 5 smart TV's, IPAD's, phones, etc? We have a router and a booster now butI MUST have my computer work and be fast all the time. We have Frontier for internet. Thank you.

To be straightforward of you have having slow connections I would look to Frontier as the issue. At least in my area Frontiers Premium Service is 45 Mbs. I have not been that slow in years with Spectrum/Charter. I was getting 84 mps on my old router and now I am getting 140 mps with no change in service.
The nature of a mesh system is not set up to distinguish that this or that device uses this or that pod. Your device will connect to the closest and work at the max speed necessary for what you are doing.

For best performance on you computer you will need to figure out a way to connect Ethernet directly to your computer.
