Innovative, Works Perfectly, Very Useful
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is a very useful dual camera. Lorex provides high quality solid devices that always work correctly and intuitively., I have other Lorex cameras as well, but this little guy is different. This camera has a lower camera and an upper camera that can pan and tilt via a mechanical movement.

I already had the Lorex app installed. I opened the app and plugged the camera in, then pointed my cell phone at the QR code on the camera. The camera was instantly recognized and the app led me through the complete install. You will only see 2.4 GHz networks to connect to. Once connected and you name the upper and lower cameras (and also give the device a name), you will be all set up in just a few minutes. This camera comes with the USB connector cable and the 120 volt adapter plug. It also includes screws and anchors if you want to attach the camera to a wall. However, I preferred to just sit the camera on a shelf since the camera has a flat bottom and this install gives you some portability if needed.
The camera alerted me that a firmware update was available. The firmware update downloaded in a few minutes and installed perfectly. Many times, firmware updates for cameras, key entry locks and other small appliances will require several attempts to complete successfully. Lorex updates are solid and complete without any hiccups. I give the engineers at Lorex a tip of the cap for putting together great hardware and software.
The displays on my phone of the camera videos are crystal clear. You can zoom and pan with your fingers on the cell phone screen. The upper camera can pan and tilt via a ‘joystick’ on the cell phone screen that works smoothly. You can use a view where one camera’s display is a small thumbnail inside the other camera’s display and switch them; or you can elect to see both cameras separately on your cell phone, which I prefer. The many features include auto-tracking, cloud storage (optional), a microphone with a call button to talk and speak, night view, 360-degree view, local storage via a micro SD card (that is included) and more. The camera also sends an alert if it recognizes a person/pet in the view – nice.
My house is one story about 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. I had the camera at one diagonal and stood with my phone at the other diagonal and could operate the pan/tilt feature as well as see the videos very clearly – great. In fact I could view and operate the dual cameras from my backyard, so the WiFi connectivity of the camera is super.
I am enjoying this device with the dual camera design. It is fun and helpful to keep track of pets or just keep an eye on your computer room for example. I would highly recommend this innovative, very functional and well-designed little wonder.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy Clean, Cooks Great and Nice Controls
on November 1, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This new large air fryer from Bella turned out to be a speedier cooker than I expected. Because it is very large, I thought it might be slower, but it was as fast as smaller units.. When I chose to cook just two Italian sausage links as my first use, I was surprised that it cooked them perfectly and quickly. I then tried two sausage links in a smaller air fryer; it took more time. So that was a pleasant surprise. Tip of the cap to the Bella engineers who balanced the size and power perfectly to preheat quickly and cook efficiently.
Doing cleanup I noticed that the entire unit is non-stick and cleaned easily. Bella is using a fantastic ceramic coating. Also, since it round, there is no place for food to hide in corners during cleanup. The crisping tray which fit snugly in the interior was easy to clean as it is non-stick as well. The crisping tray has 4 nice bumpers that make sure it fits right and sits off the bottom. I did burn some hamburgers in the unit (my fault), but no sticking whatsoever, cleaned up with a paper towel - wow.
I checked out the 10 presets and realized these presets covered about 80% of what I would use the unit for. Of course you don't need to use the presets but I think you will find that they are indispensable and well thought out - another tip of the cap to the design engineers at Bella. The display screen is easy to read, no tiny symbols or small letters, also well done by the designers especially for older eyes.
There is a convenient handle in the back so that when you have a large item like a 5 pound chicken, which I cooked; you can easily lift this unit using the front handle and the handy back handle. This is the only time I've seen this back handle feature - very nice.
The user guide is well written and clear. Although the guide covered many types of food to cook and how to utilize the presets, I think a larger recipe booklet would be a nice touch to add since this cooker is big enough for some dandy recipes.
This unit has an excellent 2 year warranty not just 90 days. I was impressed by the sturdy build and just plain functional and easy to use design. I would highly recommend this air fryer for large and small meals.

Great Sound, Lightweight and Very Soft Earpads
on November 1, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
These headphones were heaven for me. They are very light so that is better for me, this lighter weight is something I look for to ensure they will be comfortable for several hours.
Another plus is how soft the ear pads are. I was able to wear my glasses for over 4 hours and no pain on my temples - great.
There is a microphone in this headset, this is important for me since I need them for Zoom meetings. I didn't need a microphone boom which I expect reduced the weight, which is a great trade-off for me. 
I felt the construction was solid and I do enjoy the wireless capability and I enjoyed over 35 hours on a charge.They came with both a charging cable and a 4-foot 3.5 mm cable with one end straight and the other 90 degrees. Very nice to have the backup in case I run out of charge, I can just plug in the wired connection. I did use the JVC app for controls and also I used noise cancelling 100% of the time.
Pairing was very easy. All functions worked perfectly as designed including the noise cancelling which was very effective. Tip of the cap to the JVC engineers, they hit all the marks on these exceptional headphones. They are now my go to headset. I would highly recommend these lightweight and great sounding headphones.

Very Happy with My Little Espresso Making Wonder
on October 23, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This espresso maker is a little wonder. It is designed for producing your espresso shot with simplicity in mind. Basically, you have one button and pressing this button will cause the machine to figure out which size nespresso pod you had inserted and it will adjust the amount of water used to match this cup size. When you next open the machine, via a mechanical action the pod will be dropped into a collection bin on the side. That’s it. It is a little heavy which is good since that allows the machine to get the pressure up as needed. Since it is smaller, it is easy for my older hands to handle its weight easily.
You will need to ensure the machine ‘internals’ are clean when you first get it. A very well written quick start guide will show you how to do this and also brew your first cup. The guide even has a QR code that will take you to a video to show you the rinsing process. Suffice to say you top off the freshwater canister and push the top (and only) button 3 times. The Nespresso folks even include an 800 number to call for help and a website link in the quick start guide. Tip of the cap to the Nespresso designers for a product that hit my sweet spot for functionality, taste and ease of use.
A more complete manual also includes detailed instructions for descaling. This manual has more helpful QR codes for linking to other videos and tutorials. When I popped out to their website I found a super well-designed website with easy navigation to find more info on descaling as well as their other products. You can create an account and order accessories and coffee. This site also explained the various pod colors. This was helpful since my machine came with an assortment of pods of different colored pods and sizes. Another pleasant surprise for me (since I did not previously know of the Nespresso type pods) is that all the grocery stores carried the Nespresso pods – nice. But do take advantage of their site to quickly understand the details on the different types of coffee pods available.
Cleaning the machine is a breeze. Don’t forget to empty the pod bin when needed. By the way I like lots of sweetener in my espresso so I put the sweetener in the cup before it is filled with delicious and hot espresso by this great little machine. The crema is likewise perfect. I highly recommend this machine which has me doing about 3 shots daily because it is so tasty and also so super simple to make the hot espresso shots.

Small and Super Speedy
on October 13, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This nice little 2 TB drive has multiple uses. Many of the newer laptops come with this type of SSD. You can use various brands of cloning software and easily upgrade the size and speed of your current drive by moving your operating system, Apps and data to this drive. This is a Gen4 (fastest) version of this type of SSD.
A little research will show you that a PCIe Gen 4NVMe SSD (which is the latest) is significantly faster than other SSDs. It has much higher data transfer speeds relative to older SSD technologies. It is about twice as fast as the Gen3 technology.
I did find the shipping was very protective of the drive and indeed it was in perfect shape when I received. It’s built rather solid as is necessary, Crucial has produced a high-quality product with this little but very high-capacity storage device. Based on the specifications, it is top rate. I tried using this speedy little marvel in two ways. First to insert into one of my laptops that had the interface for the NVMe drives. It was very much faster for everything including games, spreadsheets, photo shopping and especially CAD/CAM work was visibly faster – like amazing speed. No worries about cloning a drive anymore. At one time it was more of a tedious task that sometimes failed. Now the software is so refined that it is simple. The removal and insertion of the new drive into the laptop is very easy. Your main research will be just to check how to open the laptop if it does not have the convenient screw-together method. Go for it, you will be ecstatic with the results of putting in this much faster device. You might need to get a NVMe external USB enclosure to make it easy to format the new SSD. See next paragraphs for some detail on that.
I also wanted to use this type of speedy drive as an external USB drive, so I bought a second one. I also purchased an Insignia enclosure from Best Buy and proceeded to insert this 2 TB drive into the enclosure. The process is very simple and as long as you have the right enclosure it is a quick process. It is not quite plug-and-play, since you will have to format the drive (same as you may have already done to get it ready to clone).
Setting up the external drive is reasonably straightforward. But you will have to format the drive on first usage. When inserted into a USB port (after you put it in the aforementioned enclosure) the Windows OS will see the drive but you will need to format it using Windows ‘Disk Manager’. Recall you just right-click on the Windows logo in the lower left of your screen and you can see Disk Management and you select it. Inside Disk Management you will assign this device a drive letter and then format it in a few clicks. Now you have a small but high capacity and very speedy external drive for your backups or to use to move content between computers.
I would highly recommend this Crucial NVMe drive. You can clone your OS (and Apps/Data) data with it or you can create a very capable external USB drive. In either case, you will enjoy super-fast data reads and writes.

Multi-Cooker, Small Footprint and Delicious Food
on October 13, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This Ninja smart cooker is an air fryer, a convection oven and lots more; all in one. It is large enough to cook family sized meals or it can be used to cook for one. It has the unique ability to cook on two levels or just one level to achieve efficiency no matter how large a meal is planned.
This item is packed very well and indeed the unit was in perfect shape. However, you do need to pay attention to the packaging inside and around the oven to ensure all plastic and cardboard is removed.

Another innovation that is important to understand up front is that this device does surround cooking in a real sense not just by utilizing the convection fan. It has heating elements top and bottom but also has a ring of heat-source around the rear fan. The proof is in how well an actual meal is cooked so I did try some recipes to determine if food was delicious, would cook in a reasonable amount of time and also the cleaning perspective. All of these tests showed this was an outstanding product.

There are very nice accessories and be aware there are four slots for sliding in the various racks, pans and trays. You are also supplied a smart thermometer which can be used in the cooking if you wish. The thermometer allows you to see the temperature but also it will halt the cooking when the desired temperature is reached - another smart feature. By the way, the jack to attach the thermometer is located on the underside of the door handle.

You should try the different functions that run from air frying to dehydration. Once powered on, you can press the ‘Function’ button to run through the many cooking options. You get two wire racks, an air fry basket and a non-smoke and non-stick roasting pan. A nice item is also a crumb tray that goes on the bottom to ensure cleanup will be easy.

Just for some reference this unit (inside) is about 10 inches deep by 14 inches wide by 8 inches high. The outside dimensions are compact and the unit sits nicely on my countertop. It was fun to figure out the 'multiple cooking process', but this is a smart cooker so basically it will help you to do the correct thing. An example might be if you have a big chicken to roast you’d enter ‘Whole Roast’ and it will tell you to put it in the lowest (or tray-1) position. If you’d like to also air fry some vegetables, you would hit 2nd function. It will tell you that you’d have to put the next tray of food in level-4 (the top rack). I think that gives you some intro into the power of this unit to make a complete meal for you. Also if you are wondering, yes you can air fry two trays of food at the same time using two different racks. Tip of the cap to the designers of this device, they are very smart. You do get an excellent recipe book that is customized for this cooker, everything from toast to prime rib, to sweet potato casserole to even some Red Velvet cookies that I want to try soon.
The thermometer works accurately as well. Once you plug the thermometer into the device you can cook by temperature instead of time. You should ensure you put the thermometer in horizontally and into the thickest part of the meat. The directions are a little unclear in this area regarding how to put the thermometer into the cooker. However, you simply place the meat with the thermometer into the oven and close the door over the thin cable of the thermometer. It's small enough to not disrupt the door seal.
Most important is how delicious the food was. The roasted chicken I made was mouth-watering great; I just used salt, pepper, garlic powder and EVOO fantastic. I cooked some sliced zucchini on the uppermost rack at the same time as my chicken. The lengthwise strips of zucchini were wonderful (used the same spices as for the chicken plus some flour). The unit does have a light to view what’s cooking and also the light comes on when you open the door.

I highly recommend this super cooking machine with all its smarts and multiple heating elements.

Produces Smooth Videos Even Over Rough Terrain
on October 2, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This model GoPro camera is very small and lightweight. It has an extremely solid feel. It comes with the attachments to set it up for example, on a bicycle helmet. I did not need other accessories or carry-methods, so this worked fine for me.
Your first step will be to download the GoPro Quik app to get the camera set up. Your next step is to put the included micro-SD card into the camera and ensure it is fully charged. The setup will also include a step of updating the camera’s firmware. Everything is automatic as the app will guide you to complete your quick-start to begin using your new GoPro camera. The quick-start process is very well done – tip of the cap to the GoPro engineers.
The LCD screen is fantastic, very clear and colorful. I did examine the camera to get a feel for its ability to handle some bumps for example when you ride a bicycle. I gave it some testing over very rough off-road terrain and the camera handled the trails with no ill effects.
This camera has the ability to correct jumpy videos with an automatic stabilization process that works really well, indeed it works like magic and it calms the video down. Tip of the cap to the GoPro engineers for this great design point.
I highly recommend this well designed and solidly built little marvel.

Small Foot, Big Functionality
on September 26, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This printer has a small footprint but a lot of function. I noticed that the HP Envy series has excellent resolution for photographs and other color print-outs as this was evident in my test print-outs of color spectrum charts and landscape photos. There is a glass flatbed and an excellent capacity document feeder at a 35 page maximum.
Setup was super easy with the HP Smart app on my laptop. This is a backup printer for me since I have a larger backup HP printer that does print faster. The performance of the 6555e printer is acceptable at 7 pages a minute color and 10 pages a minute b/w. This performance is fine for a printer in this price range.
The touchscreen was fantastic. The LCD Panel interface is very intuitive and easy to use, it is a simplified versus previous HP printers – nice upgrade in GUI. I noticed that some printer brands have a less intuitive interface, so I am very happy with the HP printers. Tip of the cap to the engineers at HP.
I did have a minor problem letting HP Smart utilize an automated process to set the WiFi address, it failed or at least was taking several minutes. I went back and selected to allow me to enter the password manually and everything went fine and quick. This simply could be a setting of my router, but worth mentioning if it helps someone.
After the install, back at my computer I found the printer had gone offline. However, this turned out to be okay since when I checked at the printer it was automatically installing a Firmware update. When the update completed the printer was now available, all was well.
I would highly recommend this very capable printer with the smaller footprint and very clear and colorful printing resolution.

Keyboard Not Recognized by LOGI Options+ Software
on September 26, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This keyboard and mouse combination feels very solid. HOwever there is a major problem: I was unable to use the Logitech Options+ for the keyboard because try as I might, there was no way to get this softeware to discover the keyboard was even connected although the keyboard worked fine operationally. The mouse and keyboard were very easy to install using Bluetooth on my computer. I was impressed with the feel of the keys which have a concave design. This keyboard and mouse are less audible by design; the mouse is actually silent which I found to be a great feature at times. If you are looking for an audible click from a mouse, then this is not your keyboard.
There are quite a few technology goodies built into this keyboard and the mouse. I'll mention a few of them but you do have to study the manual to learn more if needed. This keyboard has 12 Fxx keys that are useful. I'm using the keyboard in Bluetooth mode. The F2 key is used to tell the keyboard to pair in Bluetooth mode. You will need to hold the key for 3 seconds to pair it.  PF6 brings up a microphone, PF8 is your 'print screen key' to copy the screen. You also have speaker controls, etc. The point is this is a very well thought out layout.
You must install the LOGI Options+ software which allows you to setup many added facilities for both the keyboard and mouse. This software worked fine for the POP mouse, but as I mentioned before, it was unable to discover the connected POP keyboard, so Logitech has a bug in the software is my conclusion - not good.
One of the cool mouse features is that you can pair the mouse with up to three devices and switch between them. You can explore other features for the mouse using the software. Both the mouse and keyboard are Logitech BOLT USB receiver compatible, but my package did not include the BOLT USB receiver. 
If you are looking for a generic type keyboard this one will work, however if you do want to take advantage of the very useful 'Smart Actions' enabled by the software, then I cannot recommend this keyboard which comes as a combo with both the mouse and keyboard
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New Clip-on Design Very Comfortable
on September 14, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
I gave the JLab Flex earbuds a lot of use right after I got them as they came fully charged (blue light on solid). The first thing I noticed was the 'over 20 hours of play time' - great. The case has a solid feel and the design includes a blue indicator on the case to tell you of the charging status. When you tuck the buds into the case they snap into place with a firm magnetic click. I noticed the case and buds have a 2 year warranty. Also the case has a reset button in case you have trouble with connectivity which I did not. These buds paired easily with my cell phone as well as my laptop.
You do have all the normal controls for audio and cell phone calls and these control actions worked smoothly. You'll get a very short USB Type-C charging cable which I did wish was a bit longer so I could more easily reach my charging port in the car.
The sound is okay but can be improved using the JLab cell phone app. I was able to tune the sound much better using the 'Custom' settings on the app's equalizer.
The biggest difference between these buds and other earbuds is the 'open clip' design. You put the earbuds around your ear. Be sure the larger part is against the back of your ear and the smaller part with the speaker is inside your ear. I did have trouble at first making sure I put them on properly, but after a few times, I was able to easily cip them up. It turned out this design is much more comfortable for me. My ears sometimes get a little sore when I used other buds for a long time with them 'stuck' into my ear. This new design is a great upgrade for me - tip of the cap to the design engineers at JLab.
I would highly recommend these unique earbuds.

Took it back
By kenn
After setup was complete, the computer suffered many glitches, both in hardware and software. E.g. the computer kept disconnecting from my Wi-Fi and I had to go in and retype the password. Computer locked up several times and I had to unplug it to shut it down so I could reboot it. Much of my software apps displays were incredibly small and I could find no way to change them. These were just a few of the most glaring examples.
You Can Change Size of Objects & Text
December 27, 2015
The ultra HD display can be adjusted. Go to Settings, System (Display is in there), Advanced Display Settings and change the resolution to 1920x1080. Then continue on to Advanced Sizing of Text and Other Items; now click on 'Set a custom scaling level' (blue text) and select 110%. Now everything will be correct. Most apps don't work well with the Ultra HD yet. But your machine will be powerful as new Apps come out. Once the machine updates to latest Windows 10, you will find it great.

Great Product at First
By Merv
Worked great in the beginning but had trouble keeping battery power and is dead now and will not recharge. Also not easy to clip on. The band included to wear on your wrist is 4" thick at least and not practical. It would have been better to purchase on of the wrist versions versus the one. I hope Best Buy will allow me to exchange due to the default.
FitBit One Wide Band
January 22, 2016
You do realize the wide band is ideal for sleep monitoring as it is very comfortable on the wrist all night. It is not a watch band. Also various suppliers make a band that the Fitbit One can snap into and then it can be worn as a watch. SO if you like the Fitbit otherwise, just get the watch band for it.

CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH SYNCING
By loyalcustomer from Davenport, FL
little support from Fitbit regarding syncing problems as module appears to be not always functioning during sync. No real solutions received that are workable. Long time getting responses from Fitbit.
Syncing Fitbit One
January 22, 2016
I noticed trouble syncing and it seemed if you have the application open and the Fitbit is connected to your PC, then it won't sync with your phone and vice versa. Not sure if that is an error or the design. Once application closed on PC now the phone sync'd in a couple seconds. So maybe this is what some people are seeing?

Highest Quality and Top Features
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
This AIO has superior resolution to others. Some reviews spoke about a text problem, however you can improve the text via going to settings, display, advanced and 'cleartype text' and follow the steps. Also has 3D display capability which is good for future needs for me. Sound is nice with Jensen speakers. Touch screen is great. WIFI is super and has both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges with Wireless AC. Very quiet fan. Lenovo support has regressed but is do-able I asked a simple question and the tech had no idea, also the website seems broken in the support area; glad I got Geek Squad. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.
Intel Has Fix for Display Errors
March 7, 2016
Here's good news after I called and got an update from Lenovo support. The problem of getting errors such as "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered..." seems to be fixed. But the Lenovo support site does not have the driver version to install since it is still in 'maintenance' or Beta test. However you can get the driver from Intel for their 530 graphics hardware at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25620/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-6th-Gen-?v=t
The driver version is 20.19.15.4352 (you're probably using 4300). Now if you download the driver and run the driver install as you normally do under Windows it will say either you are already at the most current driver level or that your manufacturer has not ok'd the use of this level. But the Lenovo tech helped me install it. Basically you need to go to Device manager, select the Intel HiDef Graphics 530, and click to update the driver. Select to install from your computer and say you have a disk and then select the folder where you unzipped the new 4352 driver stuff. Now it will install this driver. I have not seen the display driver error message any more so it appears that this driver fixes things. I had tried all kinds of combinations of settings for the NVDIA driver (there are two display drivers) in conjunction with the Intel driver thinking that the interaction caused the problems. But hopefully this driver level will work. Call Lenovo if you don't want to try to install it yourself.

Good but some issues
By Mike944
The 4K screen is what sold me. However, it has a lot of glare and not as stunning as you would think for it being 4k display. Also, the video card seems to crash and recover randomly. The system stays on and it recovers well on its own, but it seems to do this regularly nonetheless. Also the keyboard is a very flat, chiclet laptop style keyboard with next to no key travel, resulting in a lot of typing errors. I do not care for this type of keyboard. Otherwise, the performance is pretty snappy with no lag and Windows 10 is a huge improvement over 8.
Graphics Card Problem Fixed
March 19, 2016
I had the same problem with video card crash and recover. Finally a fix is available I have it installed for 2 weeks and not a single error. You have to download a driver from Intel for 530, it is level 20.19.15.4352 You cannot get it from the Lenovo support site because it is a Beta driver. I stumbled into it because I called IBM support and happened to get a tech who knew about it. Go here to find the driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88345/Intel-HD-Graphics-530-for-6th-Generation-Intel-Core-Processors Now you need to update the driver but the normal procedure ( go to driver tab in Device Manager...) will result in a message saying you can't install this driver... But if you go to the Device Manager and then right click the device then click on 'update driver software', then flow through browsing on your computer and say 'have disk'... and point where you unzipped the file; it will install it. If you can't weave through the steps just call Lenovo and the tech will show you or Best Buy Geek will show you. I've tested it and it works fine, great not to see those video crash and recovered errors.

No service after purchase
By Mako50
Bought this watch in november 2015, button has already fallen off without any damage or abuse and best buy wont do anything unless you buy their replacement plan, which goes for every item in their store, no replace plan=your on your own to deal with manufacturers, and this huawei watch is unrepairable at the factory- they told me since the button fell off my warranty is voided WTF and cant even be repaired if i pay, basically 3 months use now its a $400 paperweight
Seems Like Phony Customer Support
March 25, 2016
I had to laugh, the comment from their Customer Support, says sorry for frustration and then cleverly says they'll go ahead and solve your problem by contacting their Customer Support? Yikes, what the @$#&^@.

Good Computer BUT
By BBPurchaser071
After purchasing, the specs on the graphics card is GTX 950A, NOT A 950.Looking up the specs of the 950A, here is what is on NVIDA site: We recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950A for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 1280x720. Why would they put in a graphics card in a 4K monitor that can only support great quality up to 1280X720. Taking it back to store.
This PC has Two Graphics Cards
June 5, 2016
You make a good point. This PC has two graphics cards and the other is the Intel HD 530 but I see it recommends only up to 1366x768. I know the display is supposed to handle 3840x2160 and you can select this setting and it works fine. I'm wondering if the limits on each card are overcome because you have both graphics cards? Maybe the manufacturers just undershoot the real capability? Anyway my Lenovo AIO 700 works great and I love it. For the money it is the best deal. I do know that you have to install a new driver for the HD 530, make sure you have 20.19.15.4352 (this is a Beta driver you can get from Intel) If you don't get it, you will get frequent from the HD 530.

Worst Computer Ever
By Disappointed
This computer is very aesthetically pleasing and has great specs. The 4k screen is very nice and the accessories work great.
However...
1.
This computer constantly is crashing citing a graphics card error. Simply browsing the internet or typing a Word document and the screen will constantly be crashing.
2.
The computer will not let me install updates and programs are constantly freezing and crashing. The only programs I have installed are Kaspersky protection suite and Microsoft Office suite.
**One day I turned on my computer and attempted to create a Word document only to find that the computer had deleted the entire office suite! There is no trace it ever existed.
3.
Simple tasks such as opening a program take a ridiculous amount of time. For a solid state hard drive, opening Windows Explorer takes on average 5 MINUTES!!! I have nothing saved on this computer!
I took my computer into Best Buy and paid $150 and they said that they could not find any problem. I will be returning this computer.
DO NOT BUY
Display Error Problem Fixed
August 12, 2016
I once worked at Lenovo & IBM and know a little about display drivers. The problem here is Lenovo's support site recommends the wrong driver level for the Intel 530 Display Driver. All you need to do to automatically fix this is use the Intel Driver Update Utility. Download it and it will show a list of recommend driver updates. For starters just choose the display driver update. At this time it will install level 20.19.15.4463 -> all your problems will go away. You can also let it install any other drivers it may find are down level. It is great. Here is the link to download the utility: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility By the way, for this computer to allow stuff I use like Windows Live to look better, I change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 and set the text scaling level to 110%. At the price, this is a super wonderful computer but need to make the changes I suggest.

Terrific 2 in 1 Just Make 1 Change
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
This is a steal especially at the sale price. Beautiful touchscreen display, quad core processor albeit not the fastest but 4 cores and made by Intel so not power hungry. Dual Band AC WiFi which is important. Also very solid build, great keyboard. Only thing that slowed it down was 5400 rpm 500GB HDD. Some reviews said slow and it was a bit, but pop in an SSD and it flies super fast. You can use a free program like EASEUS to clone the HDD exactly to the SSD, including the recovery partition etc. Now you keep the old HDD as your instant backup image if needed. 4GB memory appears to be enough. Great function as tablet or tent or normal PC. Very portable which was one of my needs. If you want to step up, get HP's 13.3 inch same as this just bigger, 6GB memory but same tired old 5400 rpm drive problem but you can fix that with an SSD; and this more expensive one has a 6th gen core i3. I couldn't afford the bigger one, but I also liked the smaller 11.6 display anyway. Both have IPS display technology - great.
SSD Can be Swapped in Here's How
August 13, 2016
I did see the instructions you refer to and they are for an x360 Notebook. It is confusing, as this PC is an x360 2in1. HP does take you to the wrong place. But I looked further and HP does provide a Hardware Maintenance Manual for the x360 2/1. It shows you exactly how to get inside and replace anything from the battery to memory to the HDD. I will paste in the link to the manual and it shows you each step. But I'll give you an overview. You do have to be careful but it is not too difficult. First before removing anything I used a free program called EASEUS Backup which cloned the 500 GB HDD to a 500 GB SSD (it makes it identical including the recovery partition). You do need a USB cable to attach the SSD to a USB port on this PC to make the clone. Then basically you remove 12 screws on the bottom and flip it face up and gently pry the keyboard up first at the hinge end. Don't pull the keyboard off all the way as you have to remove two flat cables from their ZIF connectors. ZIF connectors are easy to release but you do have to notice which side of the connector that you flip up. It is easier if someone holds the keyboard up slightly while you release the ZIF's. I was able to do it myself. Once the keyboard is off, you remove 2 screws from the HDD (it says 4 but I only saw 2 screws) and also another ZIF cable to release the HDD from the board. You will have to take the bracket and the cable plug off the hard drive and put them on the SSD. Then reverse the process. I did read that things like memory are not accessible but the HMM also shows you how to remove a shield a small board and boom there is the single 4GB memory card. You can put in an 8GB memory card but I didn't since the SSD gives you tremendous speed improvement that the memory upgrade will only give you slight improvement. Now the link to the 90 page Maintenance & Service Guide (I also saved it to my desktop): http://support.hp.com/us-en/search?q=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20maintenance%20and%20service%20guide&filter=&product=11084072&pname=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20(ENERGY%20STAR) If you are concerned, BBuy should be able to do it for you with your cloned SSD for a small fee. There are lots of videos of people doing this level of stuff on the smaller 2/1 laptops, tablets and cell phones that seemingly are not accessible.. I did watch one on ZIF connectors.

I need a portable CD player with a USB adapter that can fit into my USB port in my 2019 Odyssy Honda car. As you might know , the new cars do not have a CD player. Please suggest a CD player and how much it will cost? Thank you.

You could use this one. You would have to get a cable from the 3.5 mm jack on this device to USB. It would work fine. However this unit skips a lot so the motion from the car may be too much for it.

My speaker won’t pair to my phone, my phone states that the device is out of Range or not turned on but my device is turned on And within Range how can i fix this issue

Make sure you have pressed the Bluetooth button only once - if you press it again it will turn off Bluetooth on the speaker. It should announce that it is in pairing mode via a voice prompt from the speaker. On your phone, you may sometimes need to go to Settings and Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off then on while the speaker is looking for your phone. I needed to do this and then also hit the refresh symbol on the phone screen. Suddenly the Sport appeared as in the pairing list on the phone.

The main purpose of me purchasing this drive is to fast transfer videos from one computer to another. Can I trust this drive to transfer heavy videos (from premier pro) from one computer to another decently fast?

More than decently fast. It is very quick based on what I experienced moving large files.

It is FAT32 out of the box, but I suppose you could change it to whatever you like.
