One Fine Wireless Printer!
on July 3, 2016
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love everything about this laser printer - it's easy to set up, fast and quiet. It makes ordinary printer noise when printing, but it makes zero noise otherwise. An earlier laser printer I had would allow its fan to run after printing for about 8 or 10 minutes, and that about drove me crazy because my printer is only 3 feet from me. This printer's fan kicks off immediately after printing - quiet! If you need color printing, look elsewhere because this one is just black/white/grayscale. For my office use, it is GREAT.

Good in-ear wireless headphones
on June 7, 2016
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
I found the SoundSport Wireless headphones by Bose to provide really good quality sound through BT. They pair easily with your device, and the controls are simple to operate: volume up & down/pause, off/on etc. They recharge through USB (short cable provided) with around a 6 hour battery duration. They are built to resist sweat so they can be used while working out, gardening, whatever, in addition to less active pursuits.
SoundSport in-ear wireless headphones have three different size buds to fit in your ear: large, medium, small. They're easy to remove/replace on the headphones and are secure once attached. I tried using the medium buds that were already on the headphones, but they didn't want to stay in my ear canal very well. I tried the small and ditto. Finally, I tried the large, and they stayed in much better. Guess it just depends on your particular ear canal size. All three size buds have a soft "arm" off the bud that fits into the cupped area behind the ear canal to help stabilize them.
I'm generally the type that prefers in-hear buds to block most outside sound and for the bud to reach well into the ear canal. Some prefer less ear canal depth/blocking so they can still hear conversation to some degree, horns honking etc. SoundSport falls probably into 50-70% blockage of outside noise. Of course, the volume is really good on these so you can hear your music or other material without any problems. Again, really good earphones with the usual Bose sound quality.

Powerful Multi-Band Router!
on February 14, 2016
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
This router replaces a Netgear Nighthawk 7000 router, which performed well too. However, the Linksys EA 7500 is a more powerful router.
I have a WiFi repeater in the living room on the main level of my house. My router has to be in a corner bedroom in my basement because that's where my internet cable comes into the house. Plus I have CAT-5 hardwired from the bedroom to several other rooms in the house where I find it handy to use Ethernet connections instead of just WiFi in those particular locations. So, the router has to stay in my downstairs bedroom for now, which means the router has to broadcast its WiFi signal upstairs and down the length of the house. Before I got the Linksys EA 7500, the repeater was needed to give a stronger WiFi signal to the living room and past it to some more bedrooms.
With the Linksys EA 7500 I'm getting the same signal strength as I did with the Netgear Nighthawk with repeater. This means I can discontinue use of the repeater, if I want.
Once I powered up the EA 7500, it started transmitting the WiFi signal, and I chose that WiFi source on my computer. As soon as I did that, my browser popped up opening to the Linksys page where it walked me through the setup. That only took a couple of minutes, and it did the setup automatically - and I was done!
I'm impressed with the EA 7500 because it replaced a good router with a better one!

Excellent device for portable or desktop use
on January 24, 2016
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Surface 3 is a well built device that has a really nice screen, kickstand and runs Windows 10. I like the S3 very much. It can handle any normal office task with ease and certainly exceeds requirements when watching video, browsing the web and other personal things.
The S3 is very portable, cool and quiet. I use the type cover with it all the time. It's my companion device as well as filling in as my desktop should my desktop tower computer go down for some reason. I can hook up an external monitor, speakers, USB devices, BT devices, you name it. It has all my software for business and personal use on it since it has a full OS.
While you can game on the S3, you cannot game as you would with a dedicated gaming machine. Obviously, the latest generation Atom processor isn't powerful enough for regular PC gaming for the most part.
Otherwise, the S3 handles everything I need to do. If you like sketching or taking notes in longhand, this is your device. Of course, with the type cover you can handle any typing need including note taking that way.

Excellent proprietary dock - SP3 SP4 Surface Book
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this dock! It will tuck away on your desk out of sight yet offers Ethernet, audio out, 2 miniDP's & 4 USB3 ports. The Surface Link connector from the dock to your Surface 3, 4 or Surface Book is very flexible so say goodbye to stiff, hard to manage cords that usually require duct tape to tame.
If you have a Surface Pro 3 or 4, or the Surface Book, this is the dock!!

Beautiful Surface Book
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
The SB is svelte & beautiful. The 3:2 aspect ratio of the screen is excellent for documents & work space in general, & the 3000x2000 resolution give gorgeous picture quality as well as a great canvas for artists. The detachable clipboard elevates the SB's use for many including note takers and artists, or anyone needing tablet functionality for a few hours away from the "laptop" experience. With its dedicated graphics card it certainly offers better graphics performance for those needing that.
Of course, with all high-end devices, the price(s) is premium, but if you truly need all that it offers, it's worth it!
Due to its cost, I recommend you try the SB to see if it actually meets your needs, or exceeds them. If you fall into the latter category, look for something less expensive that meets your needs - not everyone needs all this beautiful device offers.

Excellent sound system for consumer class system
on November 22, 2015
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
The Insignia NS-SB515 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer is a good entry-level sound system. Literally in 10 minutes, or less, you can be listening to your device through it. Hook it up to your TV, Blu-ray player, cable box or other device by either a digital optical sound cable (not provided) or RCA sound source through a RCA audio cable (provided) with or without the RCA 3.5 mm adapter (included). In addition, you can connect the Insignia Soundbar through Bluetooth from your phone, computer or other Bluetooth device. The Subwoofer connects wirelessly through the Soundbar.
In short, you plug your Soundbar into an outlet, plug the Subwoofer into an outlet, then hook your Soundbar to your device through one of the ways mentioned above. Good, clear instructions are included.
This system comes with a remote that allows you to choose the source (optical, RCA, Bluetooth) so you can actually have more than one source hooked up to your Soundbar at the same time. You then select the one you want - optical from your TV? Fine. Bluetooth from your phone or computer? Fine. Switch between them? Fine. The remote also has the normal volume controls for the Soundbar and separate volume controls for the Subwoofer. In addition, you can pick either of three settings for the DPS (digital signal processor): Standard, Theater or News. You get a different blend of treble and bass with each.
The Soundbar can be set flat on a table where your TV sets or can be mounted to the wall (wall mounting bracket and template included) below or even above your wall-mounted TV. The Subwoofer can set anywhere in the room since the low frequency sound it produces is non-directional.
All-in-all the Insignia NS-SB515 provides good quality sound, is simple to set up, is inconspicuous, and it won't break the bank to buy one.
My Best Buy number: 3306084002
What's great about it: Simple to set up, works quickly out of the box. Plenty of sound!
What's not so great: Providing a Digital Optical Sound cord would have made this system complete.

Perfect accessory for desktop workstation
on October 5, 2014
Posted by: Telstar
from Columbia, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
My first Dock I returned because the mini Display Port in the Dock was loose and only made intermittent connection. The replacement has worked very, very well. I'm running two large external monitors through that one port (with a "splitter" device I bought separately), and a host of other USB peripherals. I also use a BT keyboard and wireless mouse when using the Dock. It all works very well. I just drop my SP3 in the slot, slide the side-holders inward and boot it up. Reverse that to take my SP3 with me when I leave.
One thing to keep in mind with the Dock is that it is different from a USB hub. With a USB hub the signal from the SP3 goes through your USB 3 port and as such is subject in performance to the demand on the SP3's CPU. The Dock sends its signals through the SP3's charging port and thus uses mostly the GPU thus not being dependent on the varying load on the CPU as with USB hubs. Using the dock allows you a more even performance experience while providing a number of USB 3 and USB 2 ports in addition to the mini Display Port mentioned above. It also charges your SP3 while it's docked...a very NICE piece of equipment!

My Type Cover has operated flawlessly. It's stylish, doesn't show dirt (black type cover), cleans easily, and I use it while on the couch, at a table or desk, wherever I might be other than just standing up, then I can use the on-screen keyboard when in tablet mode.
I recommend the Type Cover without reservation.

Prepare delicious recipes with this Blendtec Designer 650s Blender. The Blendtec Designer Series uses all the power and performance that made Blendtec the choice of blending professionals, and combined it with a modern design with functionality taking Blendtec to a new level in performance blending. The Blendtec Designer Series is the all-in-one appliance that replaces many standard kitchen appliances with one fast easy-to-use machine. It will make smoothies, fresh whole juice, ice cream, margaritas, soups, sauces, bread dough, dressings, salsas, flours and more! Blending professionals have relied on Blendtec machines in the best coffee shops, juice bars, gyms, and restaurants around the world for producing the best, most consistent results in taste and texture. You can now enjoy the same results in your home.
What is the difference between the designer series and the classic blender? Can they be used commercially? Which is more rugged?
These blenders are not commercial blenders, but they are very well-built to handle anything for a long period of time in a home environment. Commercial grade equipment is designed to handle the nearly continual use equipment faces in a commercial kitchen - and that's why they cost even more.
Nevertheless, the Blendtec 8-speed will perform for a long time in anyone's home kitchen. I've not used the classic blender, but the 8-speed designer series is a well-built machine.

It can do this plus much more. It's interactive so your child can talk to Spidey and participate in adventures as Spidey narrates them. Through a smart phone app your child can select many things to do with Spidey. There is a lot of content that can engage your child's imagination in Spider-Man adventures and just in "normal" conversation with Spidey.

As is today, you can do light editing using a couple of web based programs. Within the next month or two, you will be able to do a lot more because the Acer R11 will run all Android apps natively in Chrome OS on your Chromebook.

On the Acer website it says this model supports AC WIFI, on this page it just says B. Does this model on the best buy website support AC WIFI?
I have the Acer R11 from Best Buy described above, and the information label on the box says plainly "802.11ac + BT" Hope this helps.

So are you saying you cannot use android apps for this chromebook? Where do you get apps then?
True, Android apps do not currently run on the Acer R11. Presently you can run web based programs through your browser and the limited Chrome browser extensions and Chrome OS apps as shown in the Chrome OS Store. However, within 2 months you will be able to download the Google Play Store with access to all Android apps. The Acer R11 is the second Chromebook receiving this ability through the Chrome OS. Once that's done, you will have all the functionality Google has to offer.

Is the memory expandable? Thanks!
I would direct this question to Acer, but I'm under the impression that it is not expandable in any ordinary sense. If it is expandable, no one including Best Buy and Acer have bothered to use it as a selling point, which I would expect them to do. You do have the ability to use SD cards and/or USB external drives to store music, photos, files etc. with your R11.
