Get your day started right with this Dell laptop. The moment you open it up, you get impressive detail straight from the 13-inch screen, and then the Intel Core i5 processor kicks in to give plenty of power and rapid loading times. The 8GB of RAM and a long-lasting battery keep this Dell laptop working as hard as you do.

Well Made 2-n-1 Laptop

Verified Purchase:Yes
Well made mid-end laptop, 2-full size USB ports, keyboard feel is nice, I'm not a fan of touch-pad so don't care if it is nice or not. I don't even care to be the 2-n-1 laptop. For the weight, the Microsoft Surface is still the king.

Shave wet or dry with this Braun Series 7 shaver. It adapts automatically to your beard's density, and you can personalize the shaving mode to match sensitivity and preferences. The four shaving elements of this Braun Series 7 shaver provide an ultra-close shave, even when dealing with awkward contours or hairs that lie flat.

Finally, Wet & Dry Shaver.
on September 9, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I still have my old Braun 8985 shaver and working. The reason I bought this new Braun 7899cc is because the replacement blades for my Braun 8985 is getting less and less available. Nice it has a battery indicator, better ergonomics, I don't care about the hygiene indicator, I wash it with running water every shave, wipe it dry right away, do not let the water stand. The trimmer extends, is a bit awkward. There is a sensitive and intensive settings, no difference on me. Maybe on you. It comes with a zipper case, nice. Also, nice that you can replace the battery. Last, is always, usual, the charger is 110/220 volts and 50/60 cycles.

The Elite Super Slim fixed-position TV wall mount is designed to emphasize the sleek look of ultra-thin OLED and LED TVs by placing them just .67" / 1.7 cm from the wall. The BLL2 features exclusive ClickStand technology, which holds the bottom of the TV away from the wall for easy cable access without removing the TV from the mount. Convenient quick-release tabs on the mounting brackets stay hidden, but easily pull down to unlock the TV from the wall plate for cable access. All Sanus Elite products are made to deliver unparalleled performance that will elevate your TV and audio experience.

After installing the mount and TV is easy to attach on the mount itself. However, the cord of releasing the TV is a bit flimsy

Enjoy fast Internet access with this NETGEAR N750 dual-band wireless-N Gigabit router that features data transfer rates up to 750 Mbps, so you can easily stream high-definition content. Four Ethernet ports allow expanded connectivity options.
 

Do I need a computer / laptop to set this up?

I see that net gear has an app for my iPad that is compatible with this model. Do I need to initially set it up with a desktop/ laptop? Or should it just kind of plug in and go with a modem?
Your 1st question: The answer is yes.
You have "or" question as 2nd question: Not a good idea. - Here's why - plugging yourself directly to a modem your open to public, public will see you easily. A modem then a router then you is better. That router creates a layer of door or wall so public will not see you directly.

Only @ Best BuyConnect your MHL-enabled mobile phone or tablet to an HDTV, monitor or AVR with an HDMI input with this Rocketfish™ RF-G1171 adapter, which lets you stream up to 1080p video, plus audio in up to 7.1-channel surround sound.
 

Any suggestions why mhl adapter may not work with Composite/AV adapter?

I connected the adapter to my phone and a HDMI TV and it works. I connect it to a HDMI to Composite/AV adapter and it does not work. I connect a LG Blueray player HDMI to the Composite/AV adapter and it works. Is there some setting on the phone that I may be overlooking? The phone is Galaxy S4, the MHL adapter is Rocketfish and the Composite/AV adapter is J-Tech Digital JTD-MH-AV. Thank you for any suggestions.
Simple answer the MHL technology was not design to work with non-HDMI connection. I did have a Samsung S4 too and it works better on it's own Samsung MHL 2.0 or higher. It seems you're trying to mix from old with new technology - Try to explore your option with ChromeCast wireless device with your Samsung S4 too, or any older devices too.

GALAXY NOTE 8.0 Compatability

I bought this for the Note 8.0 GT-N5110 and I can't seem to get it to work. The tv is an LG and the HDMI port says HDMI/MHL. I've tried different chargers and multiple restarts. Does this adapter work with the note 8?
I wish I could answer all question here about MHL connectivity. This is a very cheap alternative from portable device to TV.

90% percent the answer would be no.

It's a hit or miss. When it comes to MHL connection is very bad because it is not standardize. You will have a better luck on Google's ChromeCast or Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV or Roku. I'll give you a hint - From a Samsung cable to Samsung device to a Samsung TV wouldn't even work properly. What more with a different manufacturer.

I leave this for last: Try the Samsung MHL 2.0 cable it is $50 or more. Try other internet stores for cheaper price.

Sharp Aquos Cell.

I bought the mhl adapter and tried using it on my Sharp phone and nothing seemed to work. No picture or won't charge the phone. Is there a setting I need to do or change?

what would I buy to work with my I Phone 5?

I just bought a 28 inch Insignia TV NS-28DD310 NA15

I wanted wifi wireless access, but it is not on that tv. Can i buy a device similar to this that is compatible to my I phone 5?
Apple TV.
All you need from your TV is HDMI connection in. The wireless connection would between your router and Apple TV device then via HDMI cable to your TV.

Is there a wireless router that allows you to set individual internet access times?

I want to find a router that allows me manually enter in times that the internet will be turned off/on to specific devices. My old ASUS only allowed me to turn off/on in hour blocks (ex, 12am-1am, 1am-2am, etc). I am now using a Netgear router, but I can only use 30 minute blocks (ex, 12am-12:30am, 12:30am-1am, etc).

Is there a router that allows a person to type in specific times? Example, if I wanted internet access to a device from 7:10pm to 9:50pm.

Thank you!
Yes, I did check my Asus AC2400 RT-AC87R and you can. I am a fun of Netgear as well but I'm pretty sure there higher model may have the same capability what you need. Helpful hint, you can download manuals from Netgear to see if it can what you need before buying.

I also added a picture for you to see.

how do I change the password on a net gear wireless router?

Older router by default lost password cannot be recovered. You must hard reset it, by doing this you will loss the settings. By default factory password are printed at back of the router.

Need wired connection on 2nd floor but no ethernet

Problem is this, I purchased Internet (no cable/phone service) and the modem was put on the main level of my house along with the wireless router. I need to have a wired connection in my office upstairs to be able to connect to an IP phone. Is there some sort of wireless device that I can plug power into upstairs that can carry the signal from downstairs to my office upstairs? I don't have ethernet ports anywhere in the house except for where the modem/router are located. Any help is appreciated!
You need the Netgear Powerline 500 or any version may suit your need. You may also search other brands that has similar functions.
A must rule to follow is the main electrical circuit MUST be the same power circuit breaker. For further question consult an electrician.
