I bought this at the same time I got my Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The charger accepts the phone in either landscape or portrait mode, whichever fits your desk space. The surface has a pleasingly rubbery friction so that the phone doesn't slip. A green LED and a tiny beep lets you know charging is complete. Charging is super fast and I don't need to fiddle with a USB cable and keep track of that.

I bought this for my 17-inch Dell laptop with a rounded front edge. Two issues: (1) This stand's front stops are not tall enough to keep the computer from slipping off the front. See picture. (2) As you make the stand wide enough for a 17-inch laptop, the angle of the keyboard becomes unacceptably steep at the same time. If I lower the keyboard to a reasonable typing angle, the stand becomes too narrow to be stable. See picture.
Having tried the Dell 15-inch laptop, I think it the same problems would be present. I am a Best Buy Elite Plus member and I love Best Buy but I am returning the unit with apology that I made a bad purchasing decision.

This is a comfortable mouse to hold, though not as comfortable as Logitech M705. But the M705 requires a dongle and the M535 does not. Since I'm connecting it to my new Inspirion laptop which has only one USB port, the lack of dongle requirement was important. My first problem after establishing Bluetooth connection was that the cursor was invisible in the Chrome browser. A Google search found the solution to my problem: Chrome Settings > Advanced Settings > System section > Disable Hardware acceleration. Restart Chrome and Bob's your uncle.

I chose these stands for my rear speakers in a Dolby Atmos setup. I got the Cherry finish because they blend nicely in a formal furniture decor without being obtrusive. They are very stable and resist knocking over. They assemble quickly with a phillips screwdriver. The plastic shields on the back conceal speaker wires. The hole in the bottom plate permits speaker wires to exit below the plate. But I am using powered wireless speakers and the hole was not large enough for the AC plug so it had to exit above the plate, no big deal. I do wish they were 6 inches higher so they would be higher than the back of a sofa, but I don't see any stands out there higher than 30".

I added this subwoofer to my Klipsch Reference Series R-820-F tower speakers. My Denon receiver lets me set the crossover frequency. I did this at 80 Hz. I matched this by setting the subwoofer's dial on the rear to 80 Hz. This is the setting for audiophiles who listen to classical music and want to hear the string bass, contrabassoon, and organ pedal notes. You will be surprised to learn that bass guitar does not appear at this frequency. The towers are perfectly capable of handling pop music without subwoofers. But I'm sure that some will want to set the crossover to 100 to 150 Hz to get a bass kick. Okay. Irritate your neighbors. But for most listeners, the Klipsch towers are adequate for pop music. However -- I recommend the subwoofer for home theater if you are watching Sicario or Saving Private Ryan. Summary: Subwoofer for home theater, classical music organ pedal, string bass, contrabassoon.

I bought these Klipsch R-820F speakers to play vinyl records after having to retire my giant Klipschorn speakers because I no longer had corners to place them. These free standing towers fit the bill. At first the towers gave me the impression of hearing two separate sound sources but after listening to them for a couple of weeks I discovered that it was my eyes deceiving me as I was used to the wide footprint of the Klipschorns. By closing my eyes I discovered that the 820s really do offer a broad soundstage. The midrange is crisp and more full than the R-620F. See for yourself by listening to both in the Best Buy store. They gave me more of a sense of orchestra presence than the Polk towers. The R-820Fs deliver generous dispersion whether standing or sitting. You notice coloration differences as you walk across the room, but that's true of live performances too. The ported bass is robust for most instruments, but if you insist on crispness in your classical music string bass, contrabassoon, and organ pedal notes you should add the subwoofer. For home theater, add the subwoofer. For popular music you don't need the subwoofer unless you're in a frat house. My Denon receiver offered line outputs for the subwoofer and let me set the crossover to 80 Hz.

I bought two of these units after recently purchasing a similar size unit from Wayfair. I find these Sauder bookcases to be more sturdy with thicker side walls than the "Abigale Standard" Wayfair product. I also liked the fact that nail holes were already provided for the back panel sheet. I gave four stars instead of five only because it is particle board, not real wood. The vertical posts are real hardwood.

I got this primarily for listening to vinyl records. But its many inputs do invite total home theater. I connected it to Klipsch towers with a powered subwoofer. I needed Denon support to advise me that to get the subwoofer to work I had to manually configure the speakers to be "Small". If I configured them as "Large" the system assumes that the two speakers can do all the heavy lifting. When I selected "Small" the subwoofer kicked in and I chose crossovers and volume. Denon customer support for this problem impressed me. You can configure either on TV screen or on the front panel using the remote. Press Enter when the triangles appear on a selection to Save that selection.

We had used a Dyson vacuum for years but the first time we used this Shark it looked like our area rugs had been shampooed. This thing really sucks up dirt and dog hair. The motor and tank can be removed for portable cleaning of high places with the hose, whereas the hose was barely usable on the Dyson. The brush roller is very easy to remove. Tank is very easy to empty. The headlight is bright.

I am sure it would work for that purpose. I had some spreadsheet files on a rewritable CD (that's CD, not DVD) and I could read them on my Windows PC. I also used it to transcribe family DVD videos to MP4 format. For this second purpose, I used the free version of VideoProc Converter AI.

As a customer, I can offer two levels to this answer. Samsung provides a One Connect cable of 3 meters length. It's purpose is to go discretely down your wall with minimum visibility. But if you want it to go behind your wallboard, you will have to provide your own route, especially if it has to go through a wall stud. In my case, a conduit was already there. You will want a wall outlet that looks like a brush such as Sanus 1-Gang Cable Access Brush Midsize Wall Plate Insert or similar. The Geek Squad used a fish tool to pull the cable for me. If you need a longer cable of 5 meters (16.4 ft.), you will need a Samsung VG-SOCA05 cable for this particular model. I ordered my cable from Crutchfield for $215.

Your specific devices might require your purchase of a different configuration of USB cable, e.g., USB to mini or micro USB if these two cables do not meet your needs.
