It works.

The charger works, when new, as advertised. That is, it worked once I remembered to press the "on" button. Whoops. The key with chargers is "how well do they last?" I have one (different brand) that worked well when new, but after only a couple of months dies after a charge within a few weeks. I have not had this charger long enough for a proper assessment.

Too heavy, poor interior construction
on January 28, 2015
Posted by: BookListener
from Winston-Salem, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I guess you get what you pay for; this bag was on closeout sale and should be discontinued. It is big enough to hold three laptops or a laptop, papers and clothing. But, at 5-1/2 lbs empty, it is too heavy and at 17 x 15-1/2 x 9 it is too big to ride under coach class airline seats. (Overhead rack only) It has two zippered compartments (which become three counting the internal laptop bag) which are really flimsy fabric and connect together at the bottom! Put something small (such as a mouse or power cord) in one compartment and it is just likely to be found in the other compartment. It also has a small zippered external pocket which is configured for pens and so forth but is too small for 8-1/2 by 11 papers. I am comfortable with the exterior ballistic nylon construction (I have a ballistic nylon bag that has lasted twenty years)but have no confidence whatsoever that the zippers or thin interior dividers will last long, although it is really too soon to tell about long term survivability.

It works as it is supposed to. The screen is too small for my taste, but my wife likes it. Alas, the "Geek Squad Certified Refurb" means it came with absolutely NO documentation, not even the normal "be sure to plug the computer in first, and then turn it on. This is the location of the off-on switch and so on." Lesson learned, if you don't know what you are doing ahead of time, don't get a Geek Squad Certified Refurbished computer, as it may come with no documentation.

Good 2 terabyte drive

Compatible with...:PC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have real trouble rating a hard disk drive after such a short time in use. With only one exception over decades of experience, the only problems I have ever had with an HDD has been after months or (more often) years of use.
This drive works when new the way one expects a new drive to work, but I simply haven't had it long enough to assess its reliability over time.
I can't tell whether it works as fast as a USB 3.0 interface allows because I have only used it on computer with USB 2.0 interface.
The included backup software seems clunky, but that may be because I am not used to it.
I like Seagate because of years of good experience with the brand.

16 gig drive works like it is supposed to work

Verified Purchase:Yes
The PNY Woven 16 gig flash drive looks cute and has a nice chain on it. As though I really care much about how it looks...
It does what is supposed to do -- store data. Furthermore, it is compact (I have some flash drives that will not fit into my laptop next to other drives). 16 gig is plenty large for most of my data storage purposes, but not for all purposes and the 32 gig drives will soon sell for less than this drive. It is not super-fast, but neither is my laptop USB port!

Point, click and scroll with this HP Bluetooth mouse. Wireless connectivity provides full range of motion without using a USB port, and the contoured sides keep your palm comfortable during long work sessions. This HP Bluetooth mouse has a center wheel for smooth scrolling, and the indicator light lets you know when it's time to replace the batteries.

Worthless piece of trash
on August 8, 2014
Posted by: BookListener
from Winston-Salem, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
The box says "Wireless Mouse X4000." Sold online as "Bluetooth" but the package says "exclusive HP Link 5 technology...Connect to HP compatible devices..." Does HP understand what "exclusive" means? What about "HP compatible"? In short, it will NOT connect to any of your Bluetooth compatible devices. It will only connect to its own mouse and four other HP "Link 5" devices, should you have them. You know that Bluetooth compatible tablet that you have? They won't talk to each other. How about that non-HP Bluetooth compatible printer? No connectivity. Maybe a Bluetooth earphone so you don't have to bother with a cord? Nope. In short, this thing is worthless for anything except a mouse driver. And, the mouse is large.

Works for books
on December 28, 2013
Posted by: BookListener
from Winston-Salem, NC
Age Range:45 and up
Number of MP3 Players Owned:More than 5
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have several MP3 players used for audio books; this one is more suitable than most for listening to books while exercising. It restarts where one stops (not resetting to the beginning of a track). While good for songs or for books with short (say five minute) tracks, it is largely unsuitable for books with very long tracks since the "jump to start of next/last track" switch is so close to the "start/stop" button that it is east to bump. Just what I don't need 4 hours into a 5 hour one-file(track) book is to be reset to the beginning of the book. I used foam tape to completely surround the track selection switch, effectively disabling it unless one really wants to jump to the beginning of a track. Since there is no fast forward/reverse capability, one can't go back a minute or so and re-listen to a segment one missed when something/someone demanded your attention. This necessitates hitting the tiny start/stop button in a hurry, increasing the probability of also hitting the track jump switch which is right next to the start/stop button. The foam tape looks sloppy, but it provides a work-around for disabling the track jump switch.

Is this Android Compatible?

Using samsung Galaxy s3 android 4.1.2. Will this mouse work?
I doubt it. This dratted mouse (X4000) is NOT Bluetooth compatible. It uses "Exclusive HP Link 5 technology" and says it is for Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/8 only.
