Reliable history with SanDisk

Purchased two of these to swap information between devices. I've typically used the Extreme Pros but in that these are for the quick transfer of small files (not that they're not efficient for larger files) between computers, the Ultras are more than up for the task. SanDisk has yet to disappoint, and I seem to keep buying them, so I guess that's a recommendation.

Keeper of a compact.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Although most of my viewing media is digital, I find that I've started to assemble a small, I'd say nostalgically based disk collection. A few DVDs but a few which are just new enough to be available in Blu-ray. I didn't have a Blu-ray capable optical drive hooked to our main TV so I needed to add one. After a bit of research I ended up getting the BDP-S3700, both to keep the cost at a minimum and for that sense of reliability with the Sony brand. So far it's worked quite well and I've gotten through all 3 Blu-ray movies. That's right, all 3 of them. I'll be using it for any disk media because it's quieter than the drive in the laptop connected to that TV. It's also compact so it fits nicely in the media cabinet. It's kind of a blue moon use item for me so I expect it'll last me quite some time.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus lets you experience PC-to-TV entertainment the way you Watch video, browse the web, chat with friends and much more. The all-in-one keyboard with touchpad ends the hassle—and clutter—of multiple devices. And a 32.8-foot wireless range ensures your fun won’t be interrupted. Comfortable, quiet keys and a large (3.5-inch) touchpad make navigating entertainment effortless. Even setup is a snap thanks to the tiny, plug-and-play Unifying receiver.

Almost perfect for the purpose.

I purchased the K400 Plus about a year after having first gotten it's predecessor the K400. Not to replace it, but for a need I had in a different location. These keyboards are great for media use, although I'm sure many would find them suitable for their general wireless keyboard needs. The two I have now are connected to a couple of older laptops which are permanently connect to a TV, one that's our main viewer and the other in an exercise area. I've had no issues, trust the Logitech name, and would recommend them. Almost? Backlighting. I'm not the touch typist I think I am so sometimes I have to look, and it's dark, so I squint, and work it out. But for the price I need to let it go.

A capable machine

I was looking for a shredder to replace one I've had for a few years. As time has gone by, the shear volume of junk mail - much of which has some level of personal information and should be destroyed and not tossed - has skyrocketed to the point where the one I had just wasn't up to the task and also lacked crosscut capability. I did my normal exercise of research and reviews which lead me to this shredder from Fellowes. So far it's handled what I've thrown at it, including making quick work of a few old credit cards (it's very satisfying to see those sliced and diced). It's not a commercial shredder - I've read a few reviews where some folks complained about not being able to shove two decades of old tax returns and bank statements in one go. But for it's intended use of home or even small office, it's a pretty good machine.

Brand name batteries.

They're batteries. How do you review batteries. Suffice it to say, I always buy brand name batteries. You do read reviews where certain store brands are fairly well rated against the named brands but I still find that they just don't seem to last as long. I also buy in the larger quantity packs (at least eight) because there is nothing, and I mean nothing as miserable as going to the drawer to grab a fresh set, only to find you're out.

With talking caller ID, this Panasonic KX-TGD223N expandable cordless phone system uses text-to-speech technology to aurally notify you of who's calling. The intercom makes it easy to communicate between the 3 handsets.

When the need for a new cordless home phone arose the first consideration was Panasonic. They've worked well for us in the past, are generally well reviewed, and offer a good variety of choices. I'm not blind to brand loyalty, but I do like to stay with manufacturers I've had success with.

Excellent

With the death of XP (a moment please), I needed to replace one of the two laptops I regularly use. I researched models and manufacturers through a variety of sources and ultimately settled on this HP Spectre 13 (I do seem to favor HP's). I've been quite pleased ever since. Love the sense of durability due to it's aluminum body. Keyboard has a short sturdy feel to the keys. The components meet all the needs I require, and the screen delivers nice clean images. The "wings" to the sides of the touch pad are questionable, but don't detract. My only issue, and it's less of an issue then I make it seem is the backlit keyboard. It has a wonderfully soft glow in darkness, but is borderline beneficial in low light. Overall, I'd recommend this unit to anyone looking for a laptop in this price range ($999.99 at the time of purchase - and it was running 100 to 200 dollars less then the contemporaries I would have considered). I've used it daily and have never looked back.

I went in to purchase a different set of speakers for my laptop. As always, I did my due diligence. Checking reviews from a variety of sources. Comparing prices. Looking for the absolute best deal I could find (I will spend for quality and value, every time, but I don't like it). I was convinced I knew what I wanted and went in to get the job done... then I trialed this set of Bose, popped my budget - although not by much, and impulsed bought my way out the door, never looking back. I think they're terrific. No need for a separate woofer on the floor. Nice small footprint on the desk top. Good full sound for me and my laptop. Someone somewhere is going to say they couldn't crank them loud enough at the last kegger, but really, perspective folks, perspective.

It's a battery.

Ok. I know what you're thinking. Dude - it's a battery. You're reviewing a battery. I know, however, all batteries are not created equal. As a rule I buy Duracell batteries. They're only slightly more expensive then most store brands, but they last so much longer, and in the case of rechargeable like these, you get a longer recharging life. This set went into a wireless mouse (a well used wireless mouse) so I always go for longevity.

This item is difficult to review because like a light bulb, it either works or it doesn't. To be honest, I purchased this brand due to sale price, although I've used my fair share of SanDisk products in the past with complete satisfaction. In a nut shell, it worked, and that's what I needed.
