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 would recommend this to a friend!

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)

I need a replacent hard drive for my toshiba and nothing Im finding looks the same. its an MK2546gsx for my satelite laptop

this looks like a typical sata II drive at 3.0GB/s so really any sata 2 3.0 will work just fine..western digital makes a similar sized one that is sold at best by for around $50 quite and fast BUT it is not 3.0 it is 1.5 should still work..

web cam features

I bought a gateway 5378..& I like everything except it doesn't have a lot of the web- cam features that alot of the others have. I was told at Best Buy that I could go on line and download those, but can not find them anywhere. I called them and they were not much help. Any suggestions?? THX!!!!
goto gateway support and follow the instructions on how to download new drivers. i have a gateway ml2614 laptop with webcam it is sorta "bland" on features itself even after upgraded software. this tends to be the norm with factory add ons. if you need to do more i would recommend buying a seperate webcam to fit your needs.

What laptop would you recommend with a large screen which would not be used daily and will be using verizon wireless internet service

if you are looking for a large screen why not just get a desktop like this one from hp. Model: 300-1003 | SKU: 9780518
but for the most par tany large screen laptop should do just fine.

Do I need a new laptop if the screen's broken, but the computer still works?

I dropped my computer, and the screen broke, the computer runs fine, I was wondering if I had to get a new computer? Or if i could keep the one I have now and maybe get files transferred, or just get a new screen?
well this is yes and no answer. no if you dont want to travel with it anymore, you can simply hook a desktop monitor too it and keep on going. yes if you travel alot and use it BUT behold parts are now cheaper than they used to be. if you look around the web you can buy a new screen for about $200-$400 mind you it will be just the screen and you will have to take the laptop apart yourself but you can save some MAJOR cash.. on a skill level it ranks with replacing a HDD..you WILL NEED specific model number of your laptop to get an exact match. i dont recommend to replacing it if your laptop is more than 3 years old..
