Great Sound and Great Technology
on August 11, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
I easily paired these high quality earbuds to my phone and also to my PC. Be careful to check the instructions on how to pair a second device, some people report problems, but I am thinking they did not read the instructions. The instructions work perfectly. You can have two devices paired simultaneously if you like – very useful. I paired my laptop and cell phone.
Sound is very crisp. The noise cancelling is the best I ever tried and I have tried a few dozen similar wireless earbuds. Noise cancelling is very sophisticated. Inside the phone app I could select ‘Adaptive Noise Cancelling’ which detected your environment and ‘auto-magically’ adjusted the noise cancelling. You can also select if you are on a train, bus, plane or a car and manually select your noise cancelling level that way – amazing and it worked great when I tried for a bus and a car.
The cell phone app also contains something called ‘HearID’. This function customizes a so-called ‘HearID’ profile just for you by running some tests (via the phone app). You save your customized ‘HearID’ and this is used to help you get the best audio specifically for your ears out of the buds – amazing. The Soundcore app also provides 22 different equalization levels or you can just set levels manually. There are various methods to get help via the app. Soundcore certainly provides an exceptional product with excellent support. A giant tip of the cap to the Soundcore engineers.
Here’s a clever feature. You can stop playback of a song by removing one earbud. I tried this with each earbud and it worked nicely. When you re-insert the earbud, you will have to tap it once to start the music again. This feature is useful for example, when someone comes up to you while you are mowing the lawn and listening through these buds. Another tip of the cap to the design engineers.
These buds are water resistant and I used them through 5 workouts with a bit of sweat and no problems. I did get caught in the rain and again no problems (it rains in Florida a lot). Also, the battery-charge handled a week of my workouts, but I only do 40 minutes per session. The build quality is really solid. Soundcore has put out a very high quality and multi-functional set of earbuds. I highly recommend these incredible earbuds.

All Capability Many Will Need at Affordable Price
on July 31, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is a powerful laser printer at a more affordable price. HP has left out the WiFi capability which indeed saves you a lot of money if you do not need this capability. But in case the lack of WiFi concerns you, it should be noted that this printer can connect to a network and be available to many computers without each computer being connected to the printer. I’ll review that capability further below.
HP retained a very highspeed capability for this laser printer at 42 pages/minute. It is built rock solid. It does not have a multi-page feeder or even a glass to make a single copy; which also kept the price lower. However, for a small office or a connected home, this printer should prove ideal. You have fewer functions mechanically that can fail or need maintenance. It can hold 350 sheets of paper; so for a large office it would not be able to handle the entire printing load. However, for my home offices it is ideal because of its simplified local networking ability. I figured this printer eliminated functions I didn’t need on all my printers and cost me about 50% of a comparable laser printer in terms of speed and build quality – tip of the cap to the engineers at HP.
You can use USB or ethernet setups which are both handled nicely by using the HP Smart app on your phone on computer. The HP 4001n can be setup with a USB connection to a single computer. I did this and it was a very simple and fast setup. Then I reset the printer to factory defaults and set it up again, but this time as an ethernet connected printer. You do need to have your computer and this printer on the same network/router – which is actually some security as well.
The ethernet capability of this printer is very useful and secure for home or office. In case a user is concerned, this setup is done simply by connecting an ethernet cable to the printer and to a router, and configure the printer using the HP Smart app - you will have now established an online configuration. This means the printer can be used by various computers in your home or office. In effect it will appear to a person in the basement, for example, as a ‘wireless printer,’ since the computer will use its wireless connection to the router to locate and utilize this printer quite easily. Same connectivity anywhere in your house or small office. Be aware that most routers have 3 or 4 additional ethernet ports that you will be able to find and can plug this printer into, so that is not a problem.
I have found this little gem to be a solid part of my home network. It is black and white only and handles the load of printing many things like mailing labels, store receipts and Word files. I would highly recommend it.

Great Performer at Affordable Price
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
Excellent monitor at this price point. It will not have the pop of an OLED (organic LED) monitor which will provide better picture quality, but OLED displays are much more expensive. That being said I did find that this unit produced very bright colors and handled mid-range gaming with ease – no color bleed and very sharp images - nice.
Bear in mind this unit has a very basic but usable stand and does not have speakers. I didn’t want a monitor with speakers as it is quite easy to find a Bluetooth speaker with terrific sound at a very affordable price to pair with this monitor and your desktop or laptop. There is no webcam so if that is important, you need to add a webcam to your setup. There is a VGA port and an HDMI port, no Display Port. A Display Port will handle faster refresh rates and higher resolutions. But since the specifications on this unit would not support a Display Port level of performance, then the lack of this port is of no concern if you are looking for a great IPS 1080p unit; this would be an excellent monitor at an attractive price.
I did want to see how this monitor would handle various monitor tests to see if at the lower price the key specifications would still reflect a high-quality experience. Here’s a summary of what I found:
Test Pattern colors were brilliant and actually popped off the screen and the color gradients showed no banding. I did not see any defective pixels with a full screen of black, white, red, green or blue – nice, and that means great quality of production and manufacturing; tip of the cap to the engineers. Brightness was quite equally distributed across an entirely grey screen – perfect. A Sharpness test showed crisp and clean text at the various font-size levels I used – display was absolutely wonderful. Viewing angle was the one area I felt this monitor was weaker. I found that moving left to right at various distances I could see the test images ‘change’ too much. However, in a gaming environment or constructing an animated presentation, this did not interfere since I was very much directly in front of the monitor. If you have a need to do demos for several people surrounding the monitor, then I’d suggest a different monitor for that purpose. That was not my need.
Overall, I found the simplicity of setup, basically plug and play (2 minutes) was great. This unit is lightweight but very solid. The stand supports the monitor quite firmly. I also found the overall performance of this monitor to be excellent as well and I would highly recommend it for the type of functions I outlined above.

Recharge Capability Good, Keypad Design Bad
on July 11, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
The TERK 6 Device Remote does have several very useful design points. It is lightweight, it is rechargeable and it is programmable for many kinds of units including TV’s, Satellite boxes, Cable boxes, DVD players, Sound Bars and some Streaming sources. It also has some problems so that overall I cannot recommend it.
I did like that it does have an LED which turns from red to green when it is fully charged and that it uses the newer USB-C for its recharge port. It also has a button to light up the keys when needed – very useful.
The designers missed the mark badly for the joystick pad. The center joystick buttons are not raised enough higher than the surrounding buttons that control volume up/down and channel up/down. The problem is if you want to hit a center button for cursor up/down/left/right or 'okay'; you also may hit the outer controls. A design change could be to either raise the middle buttons more or move the channel and volume controls to another area on the remote. In any event this does make the TERK hard to use unless you have very skinny fingers.
There is a broad range of covered devices, so that is great. I used the remote to set up a SONY TV and that worked well except I had to try multiple codes that turned the TV on/off but didn’t enable all of the remote's buttons. Although the original remote provides more keys and a better layout, if you lose the remote or just want a second lightweight remote; then this is an good device to have around. This is true especially if the original remote needs batteries and you don’t have any readily available, then the rechargeable design of the TERK remote is a good option.
You can try codes separately or you can use a process that steps through every code for any brand of TV till it finds the correct one. That’s a nice feature. However, another problem came up with the use of the 4 direct jump-to buttons for Netflix, Disney, Hulu and YouTube. When trying a particular code, it will turn the TV off/on and cause this remote to run many of the TV functions, but then you find that all of the 4 jump-to buttons may not work. So, you have to try to find a code that turns the TV off/on AND also enables these buttons on the remote. Actually, for my SONY TV, the best I could do was find a code that worked for Netflix, Disney and YouTube; the Hulu button never did work. I can’t be sure if this means a lack of testing and documentation from the TERK engineers or in fact the Hulu button on my device was broken.
I also tried to program in my DirecTV (Streaming) set top box remote. But none of the available listed DirecTV codes worked. I called support and although the TERK support people responded within an hour, I eventually assumed they did not understand that their TERK remote only supported the old Satellite type set top boxes for DirecTV. The new streaming DirecTV boxes are ‘not line of site’, but use a different method to read your input from the remote that comes with the DirecTV streaming type box. This fact should be pointed out in their TERK documentation and the their code list. I did try programming the 'STREAM device type button' on the TERK remote to get my DirecTV box to work, but that also failed.
I think the design of this remote is great in some areas but is badly lacking in other areas that I have pointed out. Overall, I cannot recommend this remote.

Powerful Technology and Versatile Functionality
on July 3, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is a powerful and versatile projector for any business need. The build quality is very solid. The footprint is larger than most portable units, however this projector does provide a complete array of input source possibilities and comes with a very nice case to help make it more portable. Very quickly I discovered two features that I prefer but are frequently not included with even higher priced models. First the projector has an easily extendable foot so you can adjust the height of where your projection will be shown, and second, it has a lens slide-cover to protect this very excellent lens. I don't know why many projectors skip these two features, but we have them on this unit. I also found the 16-watt speakers to be very clear, as loud as needed and with quite smooth non-distorted audio.
This unit has a laser light source, yes you have no bulbs to replace and Epson says over 20,000 hours of use. The images I projected were super crisp and this comes from the 3-chip 3LCD technology so you get all of the RGB color spectrum. This projector is full HD 1080p; very nice at this lower price point.
Connectivity is so broad that you should be able to use virtually any source that is normally available. There are no additional dongles to setup wireless. The software built in will let you define detailed wireless parameters or just setup WiFi using an SSID with password. This process was simple and worked flawlessly for screen mirroring. The list of sources includes 2 HDMI ports, RS232, Component video/audio, USB-B, USB-A, microphone input and more. I actually needed to do a business presentation using inputs from a video camera (pretty old one, but still works fine), a laptop with HDMI to HDMI and a Laptop with USB to the USB B port on the projector. I had all these sources connected at the same time (see photo attached) and could use the included remote to flip between sources. You do need a 3.5mm jack to RCA video connector on the projector (this cable is not included). I was not able to get the USB B source to work at first. However, there is a very complete user guide online which told me I needed to download and install an Epson USB B application to my laptop. Once I had that software on my computer the USB B port came to life for video and audio. I actually thought this connection was a little brighter than the HDMI connection. The laptop HDMI to projector HDMI port worked nicely as well. I did also insert a USB thumb drive into the USB A port on the projector and projected some photos on the screen (this Epson projector had built in software to allow me to do a screen show if I wanted to). In any event a tip of the cap to the Epson Engineers and Publications people for a powerful and versatile projector with superb documentation. A Quick Start and the online more inclusive user guide provide very well written documentation.
I installed Epson’s iProjection app on my Android phone (see photo below). It is also available for iPhone, Mac, Chromebook and Windows). I then installed the iProjection app on a Windows laptop and it ran fine on that platform too. (Note if you are running the USB B connection software on your PC, you can’t run iProjection; this is normal and not a problem, you just have to close the USB B app.)
A couple more features I liked were the 1.6 optical zoom (nice lens for the cost of this unit) and the auto keystone correction that fixed the image without any need to square things up manually as most projectors require you to do - very helpful feature. The padded case is excellent and it includes space for some cables in addition to the unit itself. The case has a very strong shoulder strap which I liked a lot.
This projector worked great for my presentations. It was bright even in a room with all the lights on. I would highly recommend this unit for business presentations and also for your own family party presentations too.

The Outlet/Surge Strip with a Twist
on June 19, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
The 360 Revolve 45 Outlets/Surge Protector has four 120 vac outlets that swivel, two USB-A outlets and one USB-C outlet. This is the way all outlet strips should be designed. This item does carry a little higher cost, but it is definitely worth it. The rotating 120 vac outlets allow you to fit larger plugs/ power bricks into a smaller space. It has two status lights, one for protected and one for grounded. The engineers did not cut corners on the quality and functionality of this outlet strip – tip of my cap to them.
I use it behind my main work desk. Now I not only have the 120 vac outlets, but I also have the charge ports for my phone and laptop which both take USB-C now. It does fast charge both of these devices and it definitely worked great for charging other items as well including my digital watch and bicycle light.
There is a somewhat unique feature that reduces the heat of all this charging activity. It is Gallium Nitride, which is used in this ‘smart’ outlet device. Gallium Nitride can withstand higher voltages and conducts current much faster (than silicon) and has better heat resistance and can essentially allow for a faster and cooler charge.
Also this outlet device has another feature in that it talks to any devices being charged to ensure optimal charging. I can say that the outlet did stay cool while I used every port for charging and all the devices charged more quickly than from my array of other charging methods. I am very impressed, so I do plan to get two more of these outlets for my two other laptop desk-stations.
I certainly do highly recommend this outlet device.

Superior Technology in a Small Package
on June 17, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This smaller laptop is packed with power. The 13.4” display has an anti-reflective finish which was very comfortable for me while using it on my back porch or in my home office. The footprint is not too small and not too big. I found this size very useful on a couple weekend trips where I needed portability plus a powerful PC. I like the backlit keyboard so I can use the laptop without turning on overhead lights that might disturb others in the living room or bedroom – sometimes a major consideration.
The price-point is small for these outstanding specifications: Major strength areas are the CPU 12th gen core i7, speedy 32 GB DDR5 memory, and the 1 TB solid state drive. Another upscale feature is two Thunderbolt 4 ports. You use these ports for data or power, and you have one on each side of the laptop which facilitates your connection to power/data on either side. Thunderbolt 4 is similar to USB-C in shape but handles many more features – it is a big more powerful step up from USB-C. Thunderbolt will give you faster charging, higher bandwidth for data and can support up to 5 devices on one port. Wow, another tip of the cap to the Dell engineers for this design point. This unit also has a fast charge battery and your fastest WiFi technology of 802.11ax.
This little 3-pound wonder has become my main go to PC. I did use it for low/mid end gaming and the sound, with a bit more bass than you might expect, was great. Also the Intel Iris Graphics worked flawlessly – no visual artifacts or flickering. These gaming runs helped me ensure this small package with so much power is getting cooled properly which is very important. Tip of the cap to the Dell engineers.
I also found that multi-tasking by using spreadsheets, doing presentations, creating documents and reading email was no problem for this sleek powerful laptop.
I am very impressed with the features built into this unit. Dell has assembled top of line technology in a very attractive package. I can highly recommend this laptop.

Faster Charger and Concurrent Two Device Charging
on June 8, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This dual port USB charger by Rexing is very useful because it does have two ports: one USB A and one USB C, and safely turns your car cigarette lighter port into a convenient phone charger. I tried several devices and achieved faster charging for all devices. It did handle charging two devices at the same time with no problems and both devices charged at an accelerated rate versus my old car charger. I used it successfully for my dash cam, cell phones, ear buds and MP3 player.
A key feature I feel is that this product protects your devices against both overheating and overcharging. That is a very smart safety-type design point; a tip of the cap to the design engineers. A subtle point is the shape of this unit. The shape makes it very easy to grip and pull out of the cigarette lighter socket.
This unit solved the problem of charging both of our cell phones at the same time; since before we had only one port to charge with in the car – that’s a very ‘peace-keeping’ feature. The build quality is very solid. I would highly recommend this item for use in your vehicle cigarette lighter.

Very Strong TV Mount and Excellent Documentation
on June 2, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
The SANUS VODTLT1 is a very strong TV mount. It can hold up to 180 pounds. It is made to handle outdoor use. Mine is used in a screen room mounted on a concrete wall. I have a 55 inch outdoor partial sun TV that weighs 67 pounds. This mount is easily able to hold my TV. If you mount onto a concrete wall you are instructed to mount directly to the concrete wall. This was not a problem for me but if you have a sheetrock layer over the concrete wall, you will most likely have lathing strips that the sheetrock mounts to. In this case I’d recommend to be consistent with the directions and remove some of the sheetrock/lathing so the mount will be flat against the concrete. You can mount up to a 95 inch TV per the literature. But just be careful not to exceed the 180 pound limit.
This TV mount has a wonderful tilt capability which is a must feature I feel when you are wall-mounting. This tilt ability allows you an easier time to make connections and also to ensure you can adjust to the optimal viewing angle. The SANUS website has some excellent videos that are useful to view that show the installation steps and also show how to adjust to ensure the correct height of the TV on the wall and the right viewing angle. The manual also is excellent and I noticed SANUS has help-phone support if needed, 7 days a week. SANUS even has an interactive ‘Height Finder’ on its website for how to position your TV. On the SANUS website you can also enter your TV model and get a response as to the mount needed and as well as the height to install the TV – neat. I was very impressed with product quality and also the SANUS website and their well written hardcopy manuals, tip of the cap to the SANUS engineers and publications folks.

I used the Height Finder and it is fantastic. It even lets you use your mouse to move the TV up and down on a test image to get your placement just right. I’ve never seen these support features with any other TV mount that I have used.
This TV comes with stainless steel hardware to ensure a hardy outdoor shield against rust. A 10 inch long hex key is provided to facilitate the install – very handy. You are provided a wide selection of screws for the VESA mount. When the TV is installed, you will feel it when the bottom brackets lock into place. It is easy to remove the TV, you pull down on straps that move the bottom locks free of the wall mount portion. These on-board straps provide a very simple process to remove the TV without any tools. I have had to temporarily remove the TV and this mount to repaint the wall, so this removal proved simple.
I highly recommend this outdoor TV wall mount. I feel very confident in the strength of this mount to easily hold my TV in place. The design is well-thought-out, the product is of top notch quality, the installation is easy and SANUS provides clear documentation.

High Quality and No Sweat Headset
on May 24, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is an upscale gaming headset but it is also useful for music or phone calls. The earcups are extremely soft memory foam. I wore them on 5 occasions so far, with just over 72 hours total usage before the need for charging.
I did not experience any ear pain, sweating or other discomfort – great. Some other headsets cause my ears to ache behind my ears of all places, but no pain at all from this headset.
I did not experience any ear pain, sweating or other discomfort – great. Some other headsets cause my ears to ache behind my ears of all places, but no pain at all from this headset.
I did notice that sounds and video were in perfect sync. This is due to the super fast technology that this headset has called Razer Hyperspeed Wireless Technology. You can experience this speed I felt more when you used the 2.4 GHZ dongle that comes with the device. I tried both with the dongle and also with just Bluetooth wireless. I found both methods to be more than acceptable.
The super wideband microphone was spot on and I verified it was crystal clear using phone call feedback. I did notice the microphone has a very easily adjusted little boom. This microphone does not have the ability to mute the mic by lifting the mic boom up. Instead, this microphone is muted by a button on the headset, I did not find this to be a problem once I was used to it.
Having a full 2 years parts and labor warranty is super great. I felt this headset is a big step up for me for eSports games. My old set was showing a lot of wear on the earcups, so this turned out to be a great choice for me and I got a lot more than just the earcups in improvement. I had no trouble with this headset on any platform.
Sometimes a device has inconsistent pairing, but this headset pairing was fast and simple. I would highly recommend the Blackshark V2 Pro headset.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

3 out of 5Good 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.

1 out of 5Good 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.

1 out of 5Worst 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!

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.

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.

Enjoy Full HD viewing with this 25-inch HP micro-edge display. It has one VGA and two HDMI inputs for versatile, high-definition connectivity, and its edge-to-edge panel lets you opt for a clean-looking multi-monitor setup. Play video games smoothly thanks to the AMD FreeSync technology of this thin HP micro-edge display.
There was no vga cable in the box. Should I go to best buy or hp?
I don't think HP provides a VGA cable with this unit, only the HDMI cable. You will have to purchase one. Of course an old VGA cable will work fine. If you can switch to HDMI it is much better and of course VGA is being phased out.

Take your music anywhere with this portable Sony wireless speaker. Lightweight and water-resistant, it has a 16-hour battery life, making it perfect for on-the-go listening all day. This Sony wireless speaker has Bluetooth connectivity with NFC One-touch, and it can also link to a second speaker for stereo sound.
We have a 2007 Insignia Flat Screen TV. How do we know if it is Bluetooth compatible? We have Xfinity as our cable provider.
In 2007 it is probably not Bluetooth. It won't have anything to do with your cable provider. To see if the TV happens to be Bluetooth compatible I would try this. Select Menu or Settings. Look for something like 'Add Accessory' or pair with Bluetooth Device.. You might also look for Audio settings but that is less likely. Now your TV probably does have an Audio Out Jack of the 3.5mm variety. The speaker also has a little Audio In jack. You would need a cable like this one https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-audio-cable-black/4370001.p?skuId=4370001 from Best Buy. Simply plug in to both the TV and speaker and you are good to go. Now if you don't have the 3.5mm jack on your TV you probably have Audio Out on RCA jacks, in that case get this cable to connect: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-to-rca-stereo-audio-cable-black/4408001.p?skuId=4408001

Will Google Hello do a better job in regards to lag (delay) and motion detection? I had another video doorbell (rhimes with Ding) which could not adequately connect to the wifi, terrable lag, poor motion detection (false alarms and missed live ones).
Delay is a second or so on the NEST HELLO. I know because as I tested it, I could hear my wife talk inside and then hear her voice outside; and vice-versa. So it is not what I'd consider a problem.
