MB168B Lacking In Performance
on May 4, 2016
Posted by: BRBear
from San Pedro, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
BestBuy erred in promoting this monitor in their eBay listing, convoluting the Asus MB168B with the MB169B+ and coming up with a whole new (and non-existent) Asus model (MB168B+). BestBuy also convoluted the specifications between the MB168B and MB169B+. Thus, this experience was a real mish-mash.
As to the MB168B itself, this is their entry-level portable monitor which I would stay away from, opting for the MB169B+ (USB 3.0) or MB169C+ (USB 3.0 Type-C). The MB168B has the older WLED/TN (1366x768) display panel, while the MB168B+ and MB169C+ have IPS (1920x1080) display panels.
And finally, the MB169B+ and MB169C+ have their own graphics processors which offloads much of the processing from the laptop graphics processor, improving performance greatly.

Excellent Performer in Small Package
on February 26, 2016
Posted by: BRBear
from San Pedro, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
For such a small package, this product (1) puts out a lot of heat, and (2) does so without running the electric bill through the roof.
The automatic tip-over shut-off feature is a definite plus.
Had I known this was such a gem, I would have bought two (2).

Ease of clearing jams.
Great software.

This double-sided laser printer goes great with my Brother MFC-4620DW double-sided inkjet printer (also purchased at Best Buy).
And Best Buy's price, excellent.

Has Potential, But A Long Way To Go
on January 22, 2016
Posted by: BRBear
from Anaheim, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
While ChromeCast is a sweet little device, there are drawbacks.
First, the interface does not allow you to drill down genre, leaving you to scan through too many program offerings (or listings).
Secondly, the device itself seems to lose its selected viewing, and go back to a default program. This means you have to re-select, and start viewing all over again.
Still though, for the $35 or so ($20 on sale), it is a worthwhile investment and gives us another avenue to online viewing.

Superb Performance - Reads & Writes Flawlessly
on September 27, 2014
Posted by: BRBear
from Anaheim, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having used a variety of micro-sd memory cards in both mobile equipment (cellphones, tablets, etc) and computers, and from various manufacturers, I am more than satisfied with this Samsung EVO card.
Whereas other memory cards have difficulty reading or writing intermittently (whether due to the 'contacts' or 'ex-fat' format issues), the Samsung EVO has performed without interruption.
When you look at the EVO fabrication under a 'loop' (magnifying instrument), clearly the edges of the seams are very tight. When inserting into a cellphone for example, it inserts positively and securely.
Together with the EVO being moisture, heat, and radiation resistant, the fabrication materials and techniques have come together in fine fashion.

Will it work with mobile data instead of internet?
I do not have access to internet where I live, but I have an unlimited data plan on my phone (android). I also do not have mobile hotspot. However, I have a modem and a wifi router (again no internet). Will chromcast work for me? I will I be able to watch netflix or youtube on my phone, and mirror it to my TV?
Yes. See http://lifehacker.com/stream-local-media-to-a-chromecast-without-an-internet-1709666323
Also, Set Up An Internet-Less Hotspot:
Here it is in 2 steps:
(1) Turn your primary cellphone phone into a mobile hotspot.
(2) Using a second android device, setup your chromecast using the mobile hotspot network.
