Versatile device
on April 22, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great little device. I hook it up to my computer to load it up with movies, and then (with a flick of a switch) I hook it up to my phone to view them.
Very useful when traveling.
I did knock it one star for the switching mechanism. It's a very simple sliding mechanism, but it slides a little too freely. Thanks to the capless design, either end could end up poking out without warning when shoving this into a pocket. Not a big deal, just annoying.

Not what I'd hoped for
on May 9, 2015
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Itasca, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This keyboard is okay, but it's not what I hoped for.
I like the keyboard itself just fine. The keys are well spaced, visually appealing, and responsive.
The touchpad is another story entirely.
The touchpad is erratic and routinely misreads gestures. The cursor will periodically jump to the bottom of my screen for absolutely no reason. Right clicks and left clicks often get mixed up if you don't click them at their farthest edges (since both right click and left click are the same physical button).
I switched to this from a Logitech K400 keyboard. If I could take the keyboard from this device and combine it with the touchpad from the K400, I would have the perfect keyboard. As it stands, neither device really shines.

Convenient device
on February 14, 2015
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Itasca, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
Small
I can use it with my tablet, my phone, my laptop, and my desktop without issue.
Solid construction
Cons:
It easily gets stuck in tight USB slots. The cap pops right off and leaves the drive stuck in there.
Ironically, the micro-usb side is loose and falls free a little too easily.

Good screen, little bloatware, iffy keyboard.
on August 29, 2014
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Itasca, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This computer was a great deal for the price. The screen was great, and it comes with an optical drive (rare now of days). I also appreciate that it wasn't bogged down with a ton of bloatware.
The biggest drawback is the keyboard and trackpad. The keys are cramped and awkwardly arranged over by the number pad. Honestly, I could have done without the number pad if it had meant that they'd spaced things out better. The trackpad is highly response to touch (sometimes too responsive), but it really suffers if you're trying to drag your finger across it. Items will often arbitrarily deselect while you're in the middle of moving them. Clicking the trackpad also causes the entire palm rest to give a hollow "creak." (not the best build quality).
For the price though, this isn't a bad computer.

What's great about it: The screen is excellent. Good size, good picture.
What's not so great: The keyboard and trackpad are difficult to use.

Functional

Technologically functional and efficient design, but the colors of the materials used make this show wear very quickly. Upon first use I put this in my pocket before leaving for work, and by the end of the day it looked like it was three or four months old.

What's great about it: Good price and good size. No cap to lose.
What's not so great: White shows wear almost immediately. Translucent part shows scratches after first use.

Can you use with comcast.

Yes. I'm using it with Comcast myself.

You plug the Ethernet cable from your modem to the Orbi router the same as you would any other router. The big difference between the Orbi and other routers is that it comes with a separate satellite unit to extend your wireless range. The satellite unit hooks up to the router wirelessly. Installation and pairing takes about ten - fifteen minutes to complete.

So if it comes with two, I'm assuming you have one that internet is linked to by cable and the other is used as a extender? Or do you have to have both units hooked to cable?

The router portion is connected to your modem via an Ethernet cable, but the satellite / extender unit links up to the router wirelessly. The only wire that you need to have connected to the extender is the power cord.

Nothing puts a vacuum to the test quite like a home with pets. That's why the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® was developed from the ground up by pet parents for pet parents. Whether it's shedding season for your dog or your cat tracks kitty litter all over the house, this revolutionary vacuum is designed to make cleaning up after pets and the people who love them a breeze—from beginning to end. Say goodbye to hair wrap with its Tangle-Free Brush Roll, remove embedded hair everywhere with specialized pet tools, help capture allergens and eliminate odors with the SmartSeal™ Allergen System, and when you're finished cleaning, enjoy a hands-free tank empty with our patented Cyclonic Spooling System™.BR>
 

How load is it? I've used an Oreck XL upright and a Eureka Mighty Mite and would hope it's no louder as those. I prefer bagged vacuums but want to try the BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser because of its claims of not getting hair tangled on the roller.

I haven't tried the two vacuums that you mentioned, but I can say that I was surprised that this vacuum wasn't terribly loud.

Given it's size and the number of vents coming out of it, I expected it to be deafening. Upon turning it on, I was surprised by just how mild the sound was. It'll definitely drown out a television or radio some, but you'll still be able to hear people talking over it.
