Good window mounted phone holder
on September 10, 2017
Posted by: John
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for a friend so she can use her phone as a map like a Garmin GPS. The flexible neck is long enough to reach from the steeply sloped windshield to the edge of the dash, the holder rotates 360 degrees to position the phone in any angle as needed, and the phone holder locking tab works well to securely hold the phone in place. Build quality seems good and plastic parts seem sturdy. She seems pleased with the phone holder and so far it's held up well and working as designed. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one for myself.

Great Portable Windows 10 Tablet/Laptop
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my nephew so he can carry this around college instead of the massive laptop he uses as his primary computer. While he still can carry that big thing around for serious computing needs I figured he can use this one for quick internet searching/researching, basic computing needs and other simple tasks that would be perfectly suited on this small device. Since it is Windows 10 based operating system he can still download x86 based programs (within reason, of course) and have a small light weight portable computer that fits easily in his backpack.

The Motorola MB7420 high-speed 16x4 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem supports speeds up to 646 Mbps, sixteen times faster than DOCSIS 2.0.

This attractive, compact design minimizes shelf space, improves cooling, and extends product life while looking great in any home or office. Connects to a computer, HDTV, game station, or wireless router. (This cable modem does not have a built-in wireless router or VoIP telephone adapter.)

Upgraded my DOCSIS modem
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
My older cable modem was only 8x4 channel bonding capable. If you don't know what that means, it means that on the download frequency that the cable companies use in their cable system for delivering internet data it was only capable of locking on to and combining up to 8 channels. Basically, the more available channels the more reliable and faster (depending on your Internet Service Provider's provisioned speed) internet connection due to wider available bandwidth. For some reason, my old modem was only able to lock on to 4 download frequencies. After I upgraded to this modem, I have 16x4 confirmed channel bonding. Yes, I know this all sounds very geeky but basically think of it this way.... 4 lane highway vs 16 lane highway... when your internet service provider is sending data to you and it has more lanes to pick when traffic gets congested that means less wait time and more reliable data transfer. My ISP is Spectrum and I can confirm that my channel bonding is at 16x4 with this modem. But please note... your connection may vary due to your Internet Service Providers speed and data connection provisioning on your account

Great Protective Cover for the Bose Mini II
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
The cover was hard to put on the speaker... requires a bit of pulling and stretching to slide the cover on and over the speaker housing, but once accomplished, it fits perfectly. I bought the cover to protect the Bose speaker when I use it outdoors on the backyard patio table. You never know when that unexpected bump might put an ugly scratch on that nice aluminum speaker housing...

SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II delivers full sound with dramatically deeper lows than you'd expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it's wireless and ultra-compact, it's easy to take Bose® sound anywhere. With the built-in speakerphone you can take calls out loud with clear sound. And voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy. The SoundLink® Mini II can play unplugged for hours and be charged from most USB power sources.

Excellent Mini Bluetooth Speaker
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
I own many different Bose products and really like them for their sound clarity and overall acoustic quality. This mini Bluetooth speaker has excellent bass response and sufficient volume to fill a room with loud sound! I like that it can also be used to answer my phone calls (although I must admit that I ignore calls when I'm listening to music.) The battery lasts long time (I've used it at least 8 hours on low volume and it was still going). I've read some reviews that the bass isn't as strong as some would like... if you place the speaker up near a wall, like on a shelf the bass response is enhanced because it uses the wall as part of the acoustic reflector to enhance the bass response. Consequently, if you place the speaker in the middle of a table the bass response may not be as strong as some would like, but overall, for the size of the main speaker drivers, the bass response is amazing. I am very pleased with my Bose Mini II speaker.

Can't go wrong with phone protector case
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for a friend who was concerned that her phone (iPhone 7 Plus) may get damaged from falls and water dunk. The case is fairly robust and does add bulk to the phone. The water seal on the front is actually a rubber seal that surrounds the screen where the case meets the phone screen edge. We haven't tested the water resistance of the case and I would hope it will protect the phone in case of a drop in the pool or lake. The case feels like it can take a beating and survive which is what my friend hopes for. She's already dropped and damaged several phones before so this gave her a piece of mind considering that the iPhone wasn't cheap to begin with!

The all glass screen protector is near invisible once applied on the phone. I had Geek Squad apply it to ensure that there is no dust or fingerprints caught under the glass shield during installation and they did an excellent job. It's expensive compared to plastic screen protectors but I like it anyway.

Experience increased start-up, program response and shutdown speeds with this SanDisk SSD Plus hard drive. It has 480GB of flash memory, so it handles data much faster than standard hard drives. This versatile SanDisk SSD Plus hard drive has data transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps for fast loading.
Does this work on a standard desktop setup? SSD 2.5 slot is already integrated into the desktop I have.
A SSD drive is no different than a regular hard disk drive when it comes to installation and connection to the motherboard as long as the drive interface is the same (SATA connection on the motherboard of the computer and SATA connection on the hard drive). I've swapped out "regular" spinning platter based hard drives with SSD drive on many computers (desktops and laptops) and all have worked very well. In fact, I prefer to use SSD drives on laptops because the SSD drives are all solid state memory chips with no moving parts. It also uses less power. The benefits of using the SSD in a laptop is since it has no moving parts you can't induce read/write errors with hard bumps or knocks while the drive is in use reading or writing data. In a desktop installation, since you're not going to carry it around as you would a laptop while using it the benefits of "no moving parts" are not as valuable however, the increase in data access speed is. If your desktop computer already has a 2.5" hard drive slot available the 2.5" SSD drive will fit perfectly. The mounting screw holes will line up perfectly and you should have no problems mounting the drive. If you only have the larger hard drive slots (for the 3.5" drives) you can use an adapter that you mount the 2.5" drive on to then mount the adapter into the 3.5" drive slot.
