Outgrew the original SSD in my desktop. Swapped to this one and used Acronis to copy the drive. Worked like a champ!

Great watch
on January 7, 2018
Posted by: chimnysweep
from New Orleans, LA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This watch doesn't make me go wow, but it does what it is supposed to do, which is more than I can say about the Verizon smart watch I tried.
It has 2GB of storage so you can pair it with a set of bluetooth headphones and use it as a music player without carrying your phone with you.
Battery will pretty much last for two days without a charge.
What I don't like is that I can't always just flick my wrist to get the screen to come on to check the time and I have to press a button. Otherwise, solid watch.

Had two failing UPS's in the office and this is what BestBuy had in stock. It is an APC, so you can't go wrong.

Just one thing lacking...
on January 7, 2018
Posted by: chimnysweep
from New Orleans, LA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall this TV is great for the price (I paid $80), but I didn't read all the specs before I bought it. I needed to replace a second monitor and this TV was a lot cheaper than marketed monitors at the same size. What I didn't notice was no VGA port.
Thankfully, my PC had an HDMI port I wasn't using so I didn't have to return it and all is well.

Good router but tedious to configure

Verified Purchase:Yes
While this router would work out of the box for most users, I had to make changes to handle a static IP address and configure for an existing network. Nearly every change required the router to reboot, which is a 1-2 minute process.
Once you get past the configuration hassles, it works great with a good range.

These Canon 251 XL 6449B009 ink tanks feature a fast-drying formula and ChromaLife100+ technology, so you can enjoy vivid, crisp prints as soon as they come out of your compatible Canon PIXMA all-in-one or photo printer.

I've tried refills and generic inks before, they just don't have the same quality as the OEM.

Good movie if you want some action. Some of the plot lines were a little thin for me, but the movie was entertaining, and that is the whole purpose of it to begin with.

I have heard that this can be used in a desktop application as well. Is this true?

Yes. You may need to purchase a frame for it since it is 2.5 inches and most desktops are looking for 3.5 inches. Other than the size, there is no functional difference between a desktop and laptop hard drive.

Yes. It includes a pedometer to track steps all day long and a special exercise mode for when you are on the treadmill.

does it show pace during a run?

Yes. Just not sure how accurate it is at slower paces (under 2 MPH). It was totally disagreeing with my treadmill.

Can you reply via message by voice text??

No, it relies on canned answers, but it is pretty good at suggesting appropriate responses.
