Cleans well but Packaging needs Work
on June 8, 2015
Posted by: Mickster
from Seattle, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
These wipes work well on both desktop and laptop monitors but unfortunately, the packaging has a lot to be desired, specifically, the way the container distributes the wipes. I would prefer if the wipes were simply laid down instead of wrapped in a roll. It is more difficult to remove the wipes and trying to set it up to go through the distribution hole in the container gets some doing. Also, I had a couple of incidences where maybe one or two of the wipes were wetter than others so it may leave a streak. If it were not for the container, I would rate it 4 stars. Still works but the price is what sold me on it.

Good all around flash drive
on May 15, 2015
Posted by: Mickster
Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say. This 32gb flash drive works well. I like the fact that the transfer speeds considering it is USB 3.0 were on par with other USB 3.0 flash drives I have purchased previously. I decided to go bold with the red color. I like how the unit is capless, however, when using the slider, you have to press down then slide it to reveal the USB connector. Otherwise, it was well worth the price.

Good all around suite
on March 21, 2015
Posted by: Mickster
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just to be clear, I received Office 365 as an extra bonus with a purchase of a Dell laptop so I didn't have to pay the $69.95, Be that as it may, for the money, it is not a bad deal if you are not just a casual user or home consumer. What can I say. While I am a little skeptical of storing certain files in the cloud, I must say that the OneDrive online storage meshes well with Office 365. Please note that as someone who travels a bit, it is great being able to access my Office files just about anywhere and have a full Office suite to boot, however many of the features on Office 365 cater more to the business traveler/enterprise user. I did have one issue in that while Office 365 can be used on Windows tablets, I find that due to the inability to change fonts, using it on a device with a screen smaller than 10 inches can be problematic. Also, I know that when the year is up, I will need to resubscribe. I personally don't understand the monthly pricing because unless you plan to stop using Office, you might as well as renew at the yearly rate.

Decent 3D Blu-Ray Player
on March 21, 2015
Posted by: Mickster
Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked up on sale at the local Best Buy store near my home. I was looking to upgrade from my basic blu-ray player and at the same time, I didn't want to purchase a Sony PS3 or PS4. For the money, this Sony unit does the job. I could have gone with the 4K version but there isn't much content out there in 4K. The unit played all my Blu-Rays and I even was able to stream through the unit using Netflix since it had Wi-FI.

Value packed basic laptop
on March 20, 2015
Posted by: Mickster
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the money, you can't beat the value. You get a 15.6 inch Intel i3 touchscreen laptop with a 500GB HDD, bluetooth capability, USB 3.0 port and even a DVD burner. It runs most apps pretty well. However, don't mistake this for a game console. It is actually not too heavy for the size and the battery life is decent. I got 5 hours on the battery. I wished it had a backlit keyboard and more USB 3.0 ports. I especially wished that the keypad was a bit bigger. The chicle keyboard does require some getting used to.

Good game for young kids
on January 23, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my 8 year nephew and niece and lets just say it keeps them occupied. I usually don't play games like this but sometimes, it is hard to find Xbox 360 games for this age group that either one use the Kinect (usually the novelty wears off) or finding something that is either thought provoking like minecraft or going with a Teen rated game. Again, for the price, it was worth it.

Flash Storage at a good price
on December 12, 2014
Posted by: Mickster
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is like my 4th PNY flash drive and none have failed yet. This is pretty vanilla in terms of a USB 3.0 drive. It simply works. It doesn't have the fastest read/write times but it is quicker than USB 2.0. Only issue is the sliding cap, sometimes it sticks and hard to slide open. Otherwise, for the price, it is an excellent value.

OK for 7" tablets, not so for 8" tablets
on October 17, 2014
Posted by: Mickster
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was heading out on a trip and needed a case for my Insignia 8 inch Flex tablet. I assumed since the case was made by Insignia that when it said it worked for 7 and 8 inch tablets that it would fit the one I had. Unfortunately, the 8 inch Insignia Flex tablet was a bit too big. While I was able to fit it in the case, part of the bezel sticks out. The stand capability works well once you figure out how to fold it out. I think if the Insignia Flex did not have such a wide bezel, it would have fit. I think if you have an iPad Mini or a 8 inch Fire HD, they would fit fine. My recommendation is bring the tablet in question and check first. If you have the 8 inch Insignia Flex tablet, get the 9 or 10 inch Insignia case instead. The workmanship and quality seems on par with cases from Targus.

Is this model compatible with a Verizon Samsung Galaxy J3 Eclipse, becasue on the 200 dollar one it is not compatibale?
Unless this Samsung phone is listed on the approved list of compatible phones on Lenovo's website https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/jedichallenges/, it is very doubtful. This model of the Jedi Challenges game system is a refurb and is the same as the $200 model. To be honest, I know some phones not listed on Lenovo's site can technically work like the LG G5 but you really need a premium phone with 4GB of RAM and a quad core processor.

Playback from a hard drive, AVI, MP4, MKV, etc
Hello,
I see a USB port, so I'm guessing this will play from a hard drive. If so, has anyone gotten subtitles to work when playing from a single file?

Only if the subtitles are hardcoded into the file so soft subtitles like those in an MKV file will not work nor will you be able to open a separate .srt files

Store plenty of media files and other data on this Samsung MB-MP32DA/BBY microSD memory card, which features a 32GB capacity for generous storage space. The Class 10 design ensures rapid transfer speeds.
File Format
What file format works. I can record music however the file format does not work in my 2014 Chrysler 300 8.4N Radio.
Unfortunately, the USB device plugged into the radio must be formatted in FAT 32 and it will only play the following formats: MP3, WMA, or AAC. It will not play FLAC formats whatsoever. SDXC cards won't work either. I don't understand why Chrysler did not publish a list of acceptable playback formats in the manual. I think they assume that only Apple iPod and Apple iPhone users are tech savvy or something.
