its ok but refund

i was looking for something smaller intended to a one of those mini keyboards like the ones fro RII but figured i would try this.
positives are: if you already have a current driver for any logitech keyboards ther is no need to install it again. just plug and play. it is much smaller than most full size boards, and also very light there is a left click button on the left side and does just that left clicks. a on/off switch is also available to save battery life when not being used. the item does come with an adapter if you have a problem with fitting the small transceiver.
negatives: if you are not used to 2 finger scrolling and dont like touchpads to begin with you may want to skip this all together. there is no function lock for a number pad and a total absence of a number pad hence it is a smal keyboard.
this is a great keyboard for "couch surfing" and MAY even work good on some smart tv's.
i would recommend it if you like touchpads i did not care for it thought it would be more responsive.
What's great about it: it is smaller than what im using works great on ubuntu too.
What's not so great: the touchpad is a bit weird
I would recommend this to a friend!

it fits 2010 elantra blue radio delete option. i recommend cut leads somewhat or you will have alot of wiring to deal with. also get some solder, flux, and heat shrink for best install.

i am in the process of switching all my units over to ati cards as i am having too many problems with nvidia cards of various types. from running way too hot to locking monitors into sleep mode on the DVI ports. so i figured a few months back let me try ATI bought a small 4550 by sapphire and was quite surprised by its performance so much so i decided that it would be the end of nvidia for me. the catalyst control center is so much easier to use and navigate software/drivers dont seem to balloon as much. i purchased this card today at a local store though not same maker mine is by SAPPHIRE. as well its the exact same configuration. and it is doing good so far..i am curious to see what the temps are
What's great about it: easy card to install no LOUD FANS
What's not so great: price price price!! why best buy so high on this card??
I would recommend this to a friend!

better than most

this is all i have used since the 6.0 release its much easier on the resources the updates are hourly if any are available. i dont agree with the price should and could be 10bones less its not a major brand just a brand that really works good. internet connection is a little slower but thats to be expected with ALL virus scanning software.
What's great about it: easy to install very small hourly updates uninstalls without a trace
What's not so great: takes a while to learn whats safe and not safe (internet security version)

Anti-Glare Display on MBP?

Is it possible at all to order the macbook pro's with the upgraded anti-glare hi-res display?
it may be possible to do so at the apple store or goto the 3m website and see if they have the coating there and do it yourself save some bucks in the process.

What is the best laptop to purchase for wireless operation?

I want to purchase a laptop for use traveling and also purchase a wireless plan. What is the best way to do this?
honestly?? i would do a mac SPECIFICALLY due to the open source system that is provided with it.. while it is not a bullet proof solution to virus it is known for its resistance to virus and malware. also many more macs are recovered than pc's if they are stolen..trade off is price macs a re 50% more but you get what you pay for...this is my choice if i were traveling ESPECIALLY overseas.

NEED HELP PLEASE

I am looking to buy a laptop for my 12 year old son for christmas. I am on a budget but want to buy him a good computer but not have it cost 2 much. He is going to use it for school work and most likely games. Can anyone tell me what is a good laptop to get him and why? Thanks so much for the help
a 12 year and a 500- 750 dollar laptop just dont mix.. sorry.. i dont care what any body says.. try the way of a more affordable net book like those by acer and gateway they are much easier on the pocket for a first time kid computer and if it is stolen and could not be recovered well its not a big loss.. power wise why buy a i3 or i5 for a child that has no idea how to harness this power anyways.???he can do the same thing on a net book.. if he complains the screen is too small you can get a cheap 19 inch monitor and connect it very easily..

windows 7 is out so are the next series of cpus' i,e. i3 -i9 next models are due out in October if any, but i believe this is it for now and the foreseeable future of say the next 18 months. outside of memory improvements not much going on

how can i get my webcam built into my asus laptop to connect to facebook to post videos?

i guess its not in there now ?? then order the part and you will have to take the laptop apart and install it yourself provided that the board supports it even.. downside to this is it costs more than whats the machine is worth i recommend get a usb cam. for 49.95

Best PC for photography

two words "custom build" why? photography is graphics intensive and this type of pc prebuilt can be expensive. however if its a hobby them prebuilt is fine, if its your bread and butter custom is the only way to go
