Great experience setting up
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I've had lots of experience setting up computers, and so I know that everyone gets annoyed by bloat and try me and buy me offers on computers. But HP has designed this to the point where you can uninstall Mcaffee and you're done with the promotional offers. Nothing else to bug you on the screen. This unit is problem free and designed well too! I think this is one of the best desktop experiences I've had in a long time and that goes to say I've owned a lot of computers.
That being said, there are some things you should know if you're looking to purchase it. This desktop has phased out the DVI port and the VGA port. So unless you have an HDMI to DVI cord, you won't be able to use this tower. and you can't use legacy plugs anymore.
You will also need a 32GB flash drive, at least to create to create the recovery partition comfortably.
That being said, this system is very speedy and opens applications lightning fast. I mainly use it for writing documents on Microsoft Word and watching YouTube videos / streaming movies on the tower. No slowdown, 60FPS videos play silky smooth and there is plenty of space for editing photos.
The tower design... I just love it. I have rich sound coming from the tower and I don't need an external pair of speakers in order to enjoy what I'm doing. If you don't like the sound that's coming from the tower you can use your own speakers.
Oh yeah, No DVD / CD Drive but I don't care as everything is digital so... CD / DVD Drives are extremely inexpensive.
Overall, I think HP did a great job on this design. I really think I a college student or a first time computer user would enjoy this. Just remember the monitor situation and get the appropriate cable if you don't have it!

You can use it on any network! Not just Verizon!
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
This is my very first ownership of a high end phone so my standards were set pretty high when I needed a device to do everything I wanted. I don't have a Verizon account, but according to recent online news articles that had surfaced you can use the Verizon version of the Google Pixel on any carrier you like. So I bought a Tracfone BYOP kit and activated my Nano GSM Sim Card. Within minutes, I was using the Google Pixel on the Tracfone Wireless Network!
I then proceeded to finish setup of the phone, connect my Google Account and Voila, I was finished and the whole process took 11 minutes tops. After updating all the apps and getting the phone app I needed to check my service balance, I checked out the phone. It's got a nice sleek design to it. Headphone Jack, fingerprint sensor on the back, camera flash, front facing camera. It's very handsome looking if I say so myself.
Inside the phone, it has an NFC Chip so if you want to use Google Pay with your phone you can do that.
Unfortunately, you can't expand the memory inside the unit but with 32GB of memory and online streaming services, owning a MP3 collection of your music seems like a thing of the past. Kind of a bummer on that end.
Performance wise, this phone is super smooth as butter. I ran a couple of fancy gaming apps on the phone that have graphical demands and it handled each of the games without issues. With the inability to expand storage as said above, you may be pushing it if you are installing very large games that require 1GB or more for the initial installation
The phone does charge really fast like the box says......
If you are looking for something that keeps you connected all the time and you're looking to break free from the device that you take a bite out of the fruit, this is a very attractive option. It has great sound, it handles well and it's very responsive in all everyday life situations you would use your phone for.

Somethings good and somethings bad...
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
Initially setting up the unit was very frustrating. The unit is very slow out of the box. The setup time takes a long time too. You also have to create the USB recovery drive. If something goes wrong with your PC that is. After everything was setup, I proceeded to create the recovery partition. This took 1 hour. Once I stripped this unit of unnecessary Acer programs, I tried to do a Windows Update but for some reason it will not complete.
I had no choice but to download a 32 bit Windows 10 ISO, copy the files to a flash drive and do a clean install of Windows 10 Anniversary Update which made the unit perform very good. If you decide to do this, make sure you know what you're doing as your tablet is going to show the wrong way when installing Windows and it's connected to the dock. This is normal. When it's done doing it's thing, take the tablet off the keyboard dock and finish setup. Make sure you run advanced disk cleanup to clear away temporary windows install directories and the Windows OLD folder.
Once everything was finished and cleansed of bloatware, I had a smooth experience using this unit. Installed Google Chrome, some internet security, installed a Micro SD Card and put a couple of games on it. When using the unit as a laptop, the touch pad is a little sensitive for my preferences. When using the unit as a tablet, it has some considerable weight to it. If you intend to give this as a gift for a child, you may not want to due to it's weight.
Sound will sound tiny depending on what's playing through the speaker. but once you use sites such a Youtube and playing music, it will sound considerably louder. You do have the choice of headphones and external speakers if that's your cup of tea.
I had mentioned you can play games on this thing. Yes and no. While the processor is quad-core, this does not mean you can game on it. This Atom processor is certainly a step above it's Aspire One Netbook counterparts but still not ready for primetime games like the integrated graphics inside the Aspire R with Core I5 and Intel HD 520 are. But the CPU can play 60 Fps videos on Youtube with minimal stutter.
Overall, part of me says I like it while the other half says there may be difficulty for certain users of this unit if they don't have the technical expertise to deal with issues like I've experienced. Checkout a unit at a local store if it's on display before committing to purchase.

Works well in all situations
on September 21, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
When I first opened the box, I had flashbacks about how hard the last vacuum was to put together. But unpacking out of the box, it was a breeze and I had it assembled as a push / pull unit for the floor, similar to the operation of my old vacuum in 7 minutes.
Essentially, you can use this unit for many purposes, even a hand vacuum similar to a dust buster. Since I had not cleaned the carpet that week I decided to give it a try. This unit picked up more dirt in our carpet than the other unit did compared to our old cheap vacuum. Even worked nice on our hardwood floor on the lighter setting.
Unfortunately, the push and pull experience can be a bit of a struggle sometimes depending how I'm feeling in the day, it can feel "heavy" at times to do so when you pull the vacuum back and then push it. All the weight for this unit seems to be at the top instead of the bottom but it's just as heavy as my old unit.
While the design is very compact and easy to store compared to traditional units, it may be a challenge for those with limited mobility or range of motion with their hands / body.
Overall, nice unit, but can come with some challenges depending how you lift items with weight.

Wow just wow!
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
When I get up in the morning, the first thing I want is a cup of coffee. And my news of course. However sometimes I don't feel like a full pot of coffee. All I want is one cup of coffee. When I got this coffee maker. I was a bit skeptical at first. Seeing the TV informercials I ask, can it be that good?
When I got open up the box, I was able to use it right away. Poured water inside and then put my coffee in. When my cup was done, I sipped on my coffee. The coffee from this coffee maker tasted hot and fresh, just like I would get it out of a well known place where you buy coffee! My boyfriend also had a cup from this machine and said its strong coffee. That's just how we like our coffee.
What's great is that after you make your coffee, the unit is easy to clean, it includes a re-usable filter that you wash in the sink, or you can use your own paper filters.
There is also a recipe book in case you want to try and make your own. I'm just impressed, the coffee tasted real good using this unit and I've already used it quite a few times since opening it up to drink coffee. Really great product that makes the perfect cup of coffee each time.

Decent enough for the gym
on September 13, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I needed a pair of headphones for the gym and my local Best Buy Mobile store was within walking distance for my gym. Since these were on sale, I placed an order for in store pickup. I picked them up and then arrived at the gym to open the product. Kind of got frustrated with the packaging but I like how they are well packed so they don't get damaged. I
I connected the headphones to my tablet and it recognized it as a headset with a microphone on the tablet. The sound quality is decent, and yeah it don't have enough bass but I did not buy it for that purpose. Sound is loud depending on what you're listening to, but if it's not loud enough, it's a problem with the content you're listening to not the volume of the headphones.
Being they were on sale for $9.99 it was a good buy, but I don't pay more than that for headphones EVER. If it was regular price at $19.99 I would of went for a cheaper alternative. Happy I got to try these out at a good price.

Came in handy quite a few times when out and about. I don't really like public charging outlets since you don't know if the port has electricity issues that can damage your phone so this works just fine and allows for one charge before you have to recharge the charger. Well worth the price indeed.

Good with some considerations to weigh in on.
on July 1, 2016
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
When I heard about this laptop on Tech Insider, I immediately did some research on it and found the specs impressive. So I requested it from TIN, and several days later it arrived at my house. I was excited to unbox the unit, so I cut open the box... And it's a box inside a box! Probably to hide what's really inside. Opening the second box, I find the laptop inside that box, and also an AC Adapter, and charger cord inside along with some warranty information.
So I examine the laptop to see how it looks, very nice, slim profile, cooling vents are awesome on this unit, USB 3.1! (One port) 2 USB 3.0 ports, and one USB 2.0 ports. Looking on the other side, there is the volume button and the power button. What about a battery to install, or an Ethernet port? Nope.... Battery is integrated into the unit. If the battery ever fails, you'll have to send it in to get it replaced. You can't service it yourself like old laptop models. And if there is ever a battery recall.... Well you lose productivity and have to send the unit it as well.
In regards to the missing Ethernet port, that's a big factor to me, I can understand Dial Up Modems not being included anymore, but for no Ethernet to be included is a deal breaker for me to an extent. The plus is that the Wifi that's integrated into the laptop allows connection to the 5Ghz band so the wifi connection is more reliable.
Another gripe is the power button and the volume button on the right side of the laptop. I did not care for this design, and seems it can be prone to failure or other issues. And to top it off.... There are also function keys that control the volume so I don't understand the need for two sets of volume controls.
When you take it out of the box, prepare for a long setup time. I think my average setup time was 45 minutes for the initial setup, and then it took longer to strip the junk from it. If you're going to create a recovery drive, you're going to need to purchase either a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 Flash Drive,at least 8GB. Prepare for 30 minutes to create the flash drive average if using USB 2.0 and a considerable bit lower when using USB 3.0.
Once everything was in the clear, I decided to test the touch screen on the unit, very responsive, I did not notice any issue with slowdown or lag, or issues where if you pushed on the screen too much, you would see a minor bleed effect. Well built screen!
Had also tested the game and I can run Super Street Fighter IV on max details on 720p, can even run Devil May Cry 4 (Not the remaster) with Direct X 10 enabled on full details with a smooth framerate at 720p.
So if the XBOX 360 could run it, you have save bets for this laptop. It is very gaming friendly but you need to keep your resolutions at 720p if you want the maximum details, and if you want a more smooth framerate at 1080. you'll need to reduce the detail to keep the framerate up.
Overall this laptop is fantastic, and build quality is great, and with the inclusion of keys that light up, what's not to love about this laptop despite it's minor design quirks.

Bad version of Firefox

It appears that this version of Firefox was incorrectly configured at the factory. Since version 47 is out now I suggest removing the one that Acer included and download the new one from the Firefox website. The laptop is fine, it's the browser.

Looks beautiful, but performance . . .
By minde
. . . is slow. Right out of the box I was very disappointed. The specs seem fine: i5 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. But this laptop just ran slow. Sluggish response in just about every way. Just not acceptable for someone on the go. A client who is a busy business owner bought this for himself and after I set it up I suggested he return it.

Slow performance
July 2, 2016
Once you create the recovery drive and make a backup of the wireless drivers, you can take a Windows 10 iso and do a clean format and let Windows 10 Update take care of the rest of the install. This is going to take some time, but should help with the sluggish nature of the laptop. I had noticed this too when I opened it up out of the box, that and the Firefox issue with the black dots appearing, it seems if you disable hardware acceleration the problem goes away.

No Service
September 11, 2016
My phone all of a sudden said no service to me when I was in Disneyland last month, and I did not have any cell service. Was without a phone for 2 days. I had an old Pixi Pulsar Android phone that I upgraded from, so I took the SIM card out of the Galaxy Prime and put it into the Pixi Pulsar. I turned off the Pixi Pulsar and put it back into the Galaxy Prime and my service came back. Was a weird service glitch but I ended up not needing the SIM Card they sent me.

Can small TV's be adapted for rabbit ears?

To put on kitchen counter under cabinet.
This television has an ATSC tuner so you can use rabbit ears with this television. Keep in mind that depending on where your antenna is placed you may not get a good reception. These newer TVs are nothing like the analog format where you could still get a picture even if there was slight amounts of snow on there.

I recently purchased Logitech speakers and I would like to know if they are compatible with a Lenovo desktop computer? I would also like to know which connection on the back of my computer to plug them into? I have a pink, green and blue plug and I would like to know which one to use because I keep receiving a message saying that the audio is connected but the speaker and headphones are not connected. Please let me know as soon as possible because I would like to b able to listen and watch videos like Hulu and episodes of my soaps. Thank you very much.

This would plug into the green one. The speaker cable is green, you simply match the green cable with the green input.

I've seen on many websites that you can upgrade to Windows 10 (When Available) and you get a $25 gift card for Microsoft. Do those apple here?
The $25 gift card offer is true. You get a website where you have to validate your computer but once you do, you can download anything up to $25 from the XBOX Games store in Windows 8.1, the Windows 8.1 App Store, XBOX Movies and XBOX Games. Browser needed a little adjustment but it worked after that :)

Is this good for Streaming on a TV, web access

Currently use pc to access programs (cbs.com, etc) , netflix, hulu, HBO on tv. Will this work? I do not have cable
Yup. I have a Dynex 16" LED Television and I hooked it up to there and the picture quality was great for an INTEL HD graphics chip. I was able to do 1080p and it looked pretty nice as well on the main laptop screen.

If you have a really big flat panel television I suggest at least a 6 foot to 12 foot cable depending on what you want to do.

I this TV available?
In store or mail order?
If mail order, how long to deliver to 18902?
Since Dynex products are a Best Buy brand, you should see a quick turn around for the order fulfillment process providing they have some in the local stock. I know that this TV was once hard to find through a different revision of it. Your local Best Buy store can also help you place an order online as well if you don't want to use your credit card online.

local channels

To get just local channels, does this tv need just an antenna or also a converter box?
Thanks
This TV has a built in digital tuner. All you need to do is purchase an Antenna and you can pickup local channels. Unencrypted QAM channels may work from the cable company without a converter box but direct through coaxial but its not guaranteed.
