Excellent protection with minimal resources

I've used Webroot for years. It is light on resource usage and is very good at protection. My experience is that it caught 4 viruses and stopped them before they embeded themselves. There is a little-known feature under Utilities/System Optimizer that will clean cache and other nonessential files.

Adequate with a few caveats

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my wife who loves the lightness and portability. It had some issues connecting to our network, which I solved, but can't tell you exactly how. It took a lot of restarts. I'd just say to be very careful with your input. The keyboard issue below may have thwarted the attempts to enter the passcode.
The keyboad, like other notebooks, is a little touchy. Sometimes it jumps or types a random character. I've experienced the same behaviour on my $3,000 laptop and another $79 notebook, so it is not just this machine.
We nearly took it back when it just would not boot. There is no way I saw to remove the battery (an old trick). But repeated hard and persistant pressing of the off/on key eventually rebooted it and it has stayed working.
Overall, I'd say it does the job it was intended to do. It runs the Office suite that came with it and browses the Internet. Oh, one thing is if you can't read the Webroot installation key (ours got smeared when we revealed it), Webroot has a recovery feature. But the key is also on your receipt, so it is not the end of the world.

With 8 surge-protected outlets, including 4 widely spaced outlets, this CyberPower SX650G 650VA battery back-up system guards against power spikes and provides up to 8 minutes of run time, so connected devices shut down properly during a power failure.

UPS works
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: Mexicomike
Verified Purchase:Yes
UPS devices are unexciting. Still we need them. I've used CyberPower, TripLite, APC and others and frankly don't see a lot of difference. This one works as it should. I expect it will last as long as the others. No 5 star because there is nothing exceptional about it. It is a UPS. It keeps the computer on when the power goes out. That is all it needs to do.

Excellent monitors
on June 17, 2017
Posted by: Mexicomike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought two of these monitors to replace a Hanns-G and a BenQ, both of which were dying. The Hanns lasted severral years. The BenQ only a couple.
Intallation was effortless. Finding the right combination of resolution to fill the screen at 150% so these old eyes could read the text was like going to the eye doctor. Is "A" better than "B" and so on. But there were plenty of choices, so younger eyes would go to the most resolution and older ones could find a good compromise. i used 2560x1440 eventually. I have nothing bad to say about these monitors.
The fact that they came with different connection cables was a great bonus. I am using DP with an Nvidia Quadro K2200 video card.
Oh, a trick to setting it up - place the monitor on a flat surface and attach the stand. Otherwise you will spend many frustrating minutes trying to get it to work.

Does what it is supposed to
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: Mexicomike
Verified Purchase:Yes
A card reader may not be the most exotic hardware, but it was crucial for me to pick one up on night when my internal one died. Thank goodness BB was there.
Ii's supposed to read several types, but I only used the SD card function. It plainly states that the card goes in upside down, which is true. But nice of them to warn you.

Does a great job
on November 18, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This may be the third Mr. Coffee espresso maker I have owned. They don't last forever, maybe 3 years of daily use. But they do the job well. I've used other brands like Krups and some others and didn't notice a difference. Had a very expensive Gaggia pump espresso maker and IT only lasted 3 years of not very intense use. I bought this one because this type of expresso maker is getting harder to find. So I buy one every time I see one.

Good depending on use
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mexicomike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to compare with the pricier Audio Technica ATR2500. Both have their strong points. The Blue Snowball is better for interviews due to its onmidirectional recording. The AT2500 is better for one person speaking. As to sound quality, it is a tossup. Both are good. The BS picks up more ambient noise so that can be a problem but the voices on both sound full and rich. I don't think you will regret buying the Snowball. I am happy I have both for two kinds of podcast recordings.,

Good backup
on July 20, 2016
Posted by: Mexicomike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these drives to backup (clone) the SSD's in my desktop. They worked and the drives booted. They may have been a little bit slower than my Samsung 850's, but not much. I recommend you buy these if money is tight.
Why 4 stars instead of 5? Simply because I did not put these drives through any through tests.
