Navigate your computer with ease with this HP K4000 Bluetooth wireless keyboard that features Chiclet-style keys for comfortable typing and a scissor-key-switch design for responsiveness. Android and Windows function keys facilitate use.
Connected easily to an iPad w/retina display and HP laptop. No so with my wife's Lenovo but that's a laptop issue. Small enough to carry in a laptop bag. No dedicated number pad but at this size (think small laptop keyboard) I would not expect it to. Caught it on sale for an excellent value.
What's great about it: small size; excellent value on sale

Installed this in a 3500 sq.ft. house with the router at one end and this at the other. Push button setup (option 1) did not work (WEP Security). Used option 2 in the install guide with no problems (follow directions). The router creates two additional SSID's. It appends _2GEXT or _5GEXT onto the end of your original SSID. You'll need to go to each device you use to connect it to these new SSID's. Keep in mind that if your device does not support say 5 GHZ then you won't be able to connect to the _5GEXT network. This is not a problem with the Range Extender.
The instructions say to place it somewhere it gets 3 bars (connection strength to the router#. The location I chose is remote and my wife's laptop has trouble staying connected #hence the need for the extender#. To my surprise we got 4 bars in this location.
I'll likely move the extender to the adjoining media room to take advantage of the Ethernet ports.
Note: the following devices have been successfully joined to these new networks. iPhone #both#, an original and new iPads, Motorola Note 2 #both#, Wii #2ghz only#, Lenovo and HP laptops #both#, Samsung Blue Ray player. I've yet to hookup an HP Laser Jet 1102W or an AT&T Micorcell #via Ethernet). I don't expect a problem with either.
What's great about it: Signal/connection Strength, ethernet ports
Samsung Galaxy Note II I317 Cell Phone for AT&T: Combining the best of a smartphone and a tablet, its huge 5.5" screen provides a great view of photos, videos and web pages yet its thin and lightweight design makes it easy to hold and carry. Use the enhanced S Pen to write on the display and personalize e-mails, highlight calendar appointments and make sketches. AT&T Next option available. Learn more ›
Gorgeous screen, big enough to see web pages. Excellent integration with GMail thanks to Android 4.1 OS. Plenty of free apps.
Once you setup Gmail your contacts and calendar are automatically synced with Gmail web version. Google drive app (free) provides access to your drive documents. My Picassa pics even synced.
The quad core processor (first in the US) makes this the fastest phone I've seen, including anything Blackberry or IPhone4+. Web surfing with 4G feels like my home computer. Tethered to my laptop there's a NOTICEABLE improvement over my BBY Torch.
Less exensive through Bestbuy than AT&T. In all exactly what I was looking for in an upgrade. Only major draw back is, because I spend so much time on apps, and the navigation software, the battery life is about 10-14 hours. So far even that is not a problem.
What's great about it: Excellent Gmail Integration, Big vibrant screen, Fast Processor

We bought this as a retirement gift on a budget. Second HP I've bought in two months.
The main use of this machine will be typical light duty computing, email, Internet, word processing and spreadsheets.
For the main use this has been an excellent value. I setup the machine and updated all drivers and programs without incident.
I would estimate I have 8-10 hours on this machine without it once locking up despite probably 30-35 updates loaded by Windows.
The screen is clear but does seem washed out if not viewed at the proper angle. Mouse buttons are very stiff but the mouse pad which is integrated into the wrist rest is responsive.
HP saw fit to add a column of buttons on the left side for quick launch of common tasks, email, etc. So far it's been mostly an irritation as I have launched several unwanted programs. With some getting used to it may be a nice feature but my preference would be to place them across the top.
In all, for our budget this has been an excellent purchase as the retiree is thrilled which is the most important thing.
What's great about it: Price; 4 gig mem
What's not so great: Mouse buttons; screen washes out at certain angles

Worked fine with Win 7 64-bit

Wasn't sure I wanted to chance it given a previous reviewer with concerns for Win 7 64-bit. Took the chance when I purchased a new HP dm4-1165dx laptop from Bestbuy, knowing BB would allow the adapter to be returned.
Win 7 recognized the adapter and loaded drivers without incident. The laptop has easily paired with a Bold 9000 and Bluetooth headset. So far the only time it has dropped a pairing is when I close the lid and let the laptop go to sleep mode. I suspect that is normal behavior.
Wanted this one because of the small size. Have not yet figured out how to turn off the Bluetooth without unplugging the adapter but that is probably more of a laptop issue.
I had no issues with Win 7 64-bit but Bluetooth can be finicky and remember I installed it on a new, clean laptop. With Bestbuy's return policy you should be able to buy this with confidence knowing it can be returned.
What's great about it: small size and ease of setup
What's not so great: size! easily lost if removed; pricey
