Nice Design and Works Flawlessly
on December 16, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
Simplisafe lived up to their name as far as a simple installation and simple configuration/setup. I did find a few items in the instructions that could be improved, however the device installed on my door in just about 5 minutes, and works perfectly.
This package includes a very sturdy lock that goes on the inside of the door and a keypad that is installed outside on the door itself on a wall or door molding. You also receive screws and anchors plus 3M sticking tape. An important supplied item is a small about 1 inch tool that is used to remove the back of the pin pad to access the batteries and also to pull apart the keypad if you want to install the base using screws instead of just the sticky tape. This tool is also used to uninstall the inside lock portion if needed. So don't lose it.
The instructions said there was a piece of tape to hold the outside lock part on the door during the install but this tape was missing. However, any ''painters tape' will do. Before you remove the inside thumb-turn, you do need to secure the outside key-side of your existing door lock. Note two things, installing this new electronic lock utilizes your existing outer side of your lock and therefore your existing key will still work – this is a great design point.
You can follow instructions on the app or by using the included install guide. Note in Step 4 of the guide it provides a misleading installation step. It shows the ‘wing latches’ being removed. You only slide them out and do not remove the set screws. Just loosen the set screws and leave the ‘wing latches' installed but moved away from the mounting plate. The mounting plate is then removed, and installed in place of your thumb turn latch.. Also I’d suggest that in Step 4 it could say you use a 1/16” Allen wrench to loosen the set screws. You will need to slide the ‘wing latches’ back once you have installed the plate on your door to secure it on the door. The other area which is misleading is that the instructions indicate that if the interior part doesn’t fit flush, then you may have bent the plate. While this is true, they should also indicate that if you installed the plate reversed, then there will also be a gap which is most likely your actual problem.
Using the app to set the lock up, there is another mistake in that the install finishes without giving you the opportunity to set up one or more additional pins to unlock using the keypad. It just says done. I had to look up on the internet how to add a pin.
I’m being a little picky, but there is a note attached on the interior ‘battery compartment lid’ that says slide right to remove. But it is in black lettering on a black background which makes it almost impossible to read the small print.
Although I noted some small install improvements; this unit is very well designed and solid and the install process is excellent in that the install can be done in only a few minutes if you have some experience. Also utilizing the app, it is a very easy process to configure the lock.
This lock integrates conveniently with a SimpliSafe Security system which I have; it is very nice to have everything in one app. I would highly recommend this very nice electronic smart lock.
I would recommend this to a friend!

High Quality Materials, Great Functionality
on November 20, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is the kind of headset I need when I’m driving and also when I’m at my desk at home which sits next to a loud air conditioner just 2 feet away outside a window. I can say with certainty that the noise cancelling in loud environments works great and could be a must have for others who have my situations.
Just to be sure, this headset is not for listening to music if you want a perfect sound. It is intended for helping you be hands free especially in louder environments and also where you want one ear free to be aware of your surroundings which could be traffic or a baby crying.
The unit is a very well-designed device with padding just where you need it. The headband even has very thick pads to make my half-bald head feel comfy too – perfect; and a tip of the cap to the BlueParrott engineers for that extra soft padding. The cushioned earcup is soft and breathes – no sweat. There is a foam earcup included if you want to switch to that. I tried both but the leatherette cushion hit the sweet spot for me. The design allows use on either ear, you just swing the mic around 180 degrees to switch ears. You also get a very handy 'cigarette lighter plug with a USB port' for charging.
The mic has a very smoothly adjusting boom to get your best performance. There is a mic mute button (very important) which utilizes the Parrott button which is a multi-functional button. You will want to download the BlueParrott app for various settings. The voice commands also check things like battery level and pairing so you can ensure you know your headset status. It does have 24 hours talk-time and 400 hours standby. The app also gives you links to Youtube tips, the BlueParrott site and more. The app also has a customer support phone number if you need help – nicely done by the BlueParrot people on the support side.
The hands-free ability of the headset is extremely important in Arizona where I live. The troopers are keen to catch you if they spot you using your fingers on a cell phone screen. Can’t argue with that law, it keeps everyone safer; so just get this device to steer clear of the smokies (pun intended).
You can set the unit up the way you need. You can use third party apps for push to talk, there are lots of them. But the key is this unit allows you to set the Parrott button to interact with whichever app you installed – wow.
The controls on the side of the earpad are simple by design. I think this headset is designed to definitely make your environment safer when using it on the road. I highly recommend this headset for travelers of all sorts.

Great Cleaning Job on Solid Surface Floors
on November 16, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
The Shark HydroDuo delivers the goods on those cleaning jobs that I have had some troubles with before this amazing machine. It is easy to use and clean. Its design is the key to how well it cleans plus how easy it is to clean-up after you are done attacking the debris.
My house is a new build and it is 80% porcelain tile and 20% carpet. The tile flooring had been my problem with water spots around sinks (I have 3 bathrooms plus the kitchen). The other bad area was coming in through the 8 foot sliding door from the backyard. One way or another little drops of water find their way to the floor and then dry up leaving those small outline spots. Also there was a kind of soft fuzz in the corners of every room that actually I didn’t quite see before this HydroDuo. The area in front of the refrigerator always seems to catch some spots of soda or mustard or ketchup and these get cleaned up too. The claim that the on-board light makes it easier to see the areas to clean is absolutely true. Also try this: Turn the lights off in the bathroom for example and run the HydroDuo, the light will make the debris easier to see than with the room light on – wow.
I found out very quickly how to hit the button to spray the solution in an optimal way. I ended up using 1/3 of the tank to do my cleaning of the entire tile floor. I did fully charge the unit and I ended up with 2/3 charge left when I finished.
The floors were sparkling and when I cleaned up the device I could see why it worked so well. There is a dust bin as well as a roller. The roller is the key. It is made of some microfiber material but also has many soft and tiny bristles integrated into the roller microfiber material. These bristles added the cleaning oomph needed that I have not seen in any other product. They are described as ‘gentle scrubbing bristles’. They did not harm my tile floor in any way. This device is better for wet or dry cleaning of solid surface floors, not carpet. The solution that came with the unit is a cleaner and also it provides a nice smell so that when done, my whole house had a fresh scent.
I utilized the instruction guide on my first cleaning job. The guide will show you how to up the machine, charge it till the three lights are on, use the machine and ultimately to clean it up. Nicely written guide.
The designers deserve a tip of the cap not just for a well designed machine, but also for making cleanup so simple. Following the guide, I had the machine looking like new in about 3 minutes. Note the parts are not dishwasher safe, so be careful on that point; you also are advised not to put the roller into a washing machine. The material on the roller only needed a good rinse in the sink to give up the accumulated debris. You also are provided a tool that helps squeeze water off the roller to help it to dry faster.
I would give this HydraDuo ten stars if I could. It does come with a charging base-dock with brushroll and cleaning tool holders. It has a 3-year parts and labor warranty - great. I highly recommend it for your go-to cleaner for solid surface floors.

Beautiful Light Effects, Nice Sound, Dual Wireless
on November 12, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This new headset from Razer is top quality. The quality starts with the solid physical build relative to materials and design. The headset is very lightweight. The adjustable features work very smoothly, which I have found is something that is sometimes overlooked in many other headsets. The adjustable headband allowed me to dial in the perfect fit – tip of the cap to the Razer engineers for a great physical/ergonomic design of these headphones.
The device came in perfect condition, the packing was actually above and beyond outstanding for those who want to be sure the device is received in pristine condition both electronically and physically (and I’m one of those).
One exception in the quality is that the User guide with silver ink on black paper was a terrible choice, very hard to almost impossible to read. May look snappy but a bad choice by the Razer team in this area, especially for such an otherwise outstanding device.
The RGB color 6-zone light-effects for the earcups were amazing. The color arrays are very eye-catching; I liked the extra bling. You should download the Synapse 4/Chroma Studio (yes it up to release 4 now), to customize lighting; and especially use the equalizer. There are other features like sleep settings too. The 40 mm speaker drivers are great but I found it necessary to smooth out the audio to my preferences for the best sound effects that suited me; this is of course a personal choice. The point is I think you must have the application installed so you can customize the sound. There are audio settings for gaming, movies or music via a button on the headset too - nice.
The dual wireless is a very useful feature with Bluetooth and the 2.4GHz super-fast dongle connection. Remember you need to hit the ‘Smartswitch Dual Wireless’ button on the headset twice to connect with the dongle; I forgot, so this messed me up for a couple minutes; just a tip, ‘nuff said on that. This headset has a great rechargeable battery life of up to 70-Hours, so that is excellent. 
I thought the microphone audio was fine, it utilizes the Cardioid technology so that is a big plus for clarity. This mic is also noise reducing which I found to be effective, I tested via a zoom meeting with this mic and another mic and I preferred this one that came with the Razer Barracuda.
The earcups were super soft and anti-sweat – very breathable. I wore them for 3 hours straight as a first test and had no discomfort (and I wear glasses).
The quality of the audio was wonderful. I liked the mix of bass and midrange and treble that these headphones could produce when adjusted via the equalizer.
I highly recommend this outstanding mid-price headset for gaming, movies, and music. I especially liked the very soft earcups as my ears are sensitive. Nice job by the Razer engineering team.

AI Productivity Capability & Wonderful OLED Screen
on November 11, 2024
Posted by: RalphHenry
This laptop is a marvel. Indeed it can upgrade you into the newest world of AI enhanced processing. Here’s some insights as far as its Intel Ultra processor. It does have openGL for enhanced creation of 2D and 3D images and a lot more – basically a programmer can talk to the GPU. The Ultras have a smaller physical footprint which means less power needs and more compact designs. Yes, these chips are fast. So the net is you are getting the latest technology in this small and thin beast. The OLED screen is heaven, it is gorgeous and you will see the difference easily between this screen and the earlier technologies. I ran a color generator side by side on two laptops and the images and the colors ‘burst out’ on the OLED screen as much brighter and more refined – wow, great for gamers and designers too.
This laptop has a dedicated Copilot key. It can operate in the 40 TOPS range ( Trillions of Operations per Second), which will let this small laptop handle some of the newest AI productivity algorithms. I have had dozens of laptops but this ASUS unit has given me access to a much broader use of AI. A brief summary of what this means is that you can get AI assists and use new apps when writing a document, designing a presentation, writing emails, you can actually search inside your own notes from class, you can even generate 'images' from your own input. The point here is these capabilities are all optimized within the specifications of this laptop which provides the ability to utilize computer processing in the most advanced ways today – tip of the cap to the ASUS engineers for moving forward in a leap. Now I can take advantage of programs that can take say podcasts or any online videos, PDF’s, news articles, even blogs and more information then integrate all this stuff into a knowledge base for me – nice.
This laptop is under three pounds. It has backlit keys, the feel of the keys is very precise and comfortable; I'd say for me the keyboard is optimal. It has super-fast WiFi. ASUS tossed in Intel ARC Graphics which can optimize your gaming, content creation and more. Plus the audio is a blast with Harmon Kardon technology and provides the best speaker output I have ever heard in a laptop - wonderful. The shutdown and IPL for this laptop only takes a few seconds, another upgrade for me.
I highly recommend this laptop for its price-performance, technology, lower weight and small form factor. It has outstanding design points. Now I have learned more of the AI productivity world with a laptop that is helping me.

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.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

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.
