SSD for laptop
on September 22, 2016
Posted by: handyman
from Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
SSD storage is finally getting to serious capacities at decent prices. 1TB for $250 is really good - especially when compared to just six months ago. I cannot comment on reliability after just a couple of months - just, so far so good. Boots quickly.

Expansion for Apple products
on March 27, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish Apple would add a micro SD card slot to their i-products - a simple way to add some storage capacity to their pads and phones. That isn't going to happen though, is it? Next best way, this PNY duo-link thumb drive. Drop your own movies, music, podcasts etc onto this drive from your computer, plug it into the lightning slot, and the PNY app lets you enjoy your media without fighting through the iTunes experience. It is fairly bulky, so some care is needed when moving the iPad with the drive installed.

Just another exorcism movie
on December 19, 2015
Posted by: handyman
Verified Purchase:Yes
What a relief when this (sort of) finished. Not because it had been particularly scary, it simply meant I wasn't wasting any more of my life watching this, er, movie. Move along, nothing (new) to see here. Tag words; demonology, exorcism, possession, ridiculous. And it just comes to an abrupt end, almost like they were planning a sequel. Please, don't do it!

Starbucks K-cup coffee
on November 2, 2015
Posted by: handyman
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a Keurig coffee maker, and I like the "normal" Starbucks coffee. If you agree with those, you will enjoy these pods. Is it worth buying a Keurig just to taste the coffee? No. Just go to the drive-through like normal. Breakfast Blend is slightly weaker than some pods. I think that French Roast and Verona pods have a bit more of a kick.

Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
on September 9, 2015
Posted by: handyman
Verified Purchase:Yes
Who knew BB sold golf balls? OK, these have seen some action already, but $20 for a dozen Pro Vs is an excellent price. Getting them for ten bucks on a "super special sale" was fabulous. Possibly the best golf ball out there - opinions vary here - but certainly the best buy I've had in Best Buy in a long time.

Excellent router
on March 23, 2015
Posted by: handyman
Verified Purchase:Yes
Simple web-based interface to check status and change settings, superb wireless coverage throughout the house without extenders, and a toggle switch to shut off wireless (do you see that, Linksys?) Early days, so no idea of longevity but so far, so good.

Panasonic NN-SD987SA Full-Size Microwave: Cook in style with this sleek microwave. Small or large meals cook quicker and more efficiently with Inverter technology. The high-power settings preserve the nutritional value of your food; it also reduces cold spots and unappetizing textures.
 

Is microwave energy efficient?

Compared to standard ovens (yes!) or other microwave ovens of equal power and capacity? This one is probably way more efficient because of the way it regulates the cooking process. It is the only one (so I hear) that can run at reduced power as opposed to turning full power on and off like most ovens do. At the end of the day, this is a fantastic microwave and certainly the best I have ever owned. But, I have not done any power consumption comparisons between ovens so couldn't tell you if it costs less to run than a GE or Samsung or (fill in name brand here) does.

Create a sleek home entertainment setup with this Samsung sound bar, featuring Dolby Digital technology for clear, uninterrupted enjoyment. Available sound modes let you set your audio system according to what you're watching, and six integrated speakers create an immersive experience. This Samsung sound bar is Bluetooth compatible with enabled devices.
 

Any specs for the dimensions of the subwoofer? Don't see any listed. I want to hide this behind the doors in my built-ins but am limited for space. Is there any way someone can get me the dimensions of the sub, please? Thanks.

40" wide, 2" tall, 3.5" deep (front to back). The power, HDMI and optical connections are in recesses on the bottom of the sound bar so no extra room is required when the cables are attached i.e it can sit up against a wall if you want it to.

I recently bought this sound bar and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Samsung LN46C530 TV (2011). I have the soundbar connected to the tv via the optical cable. What do I have to do next. Thank you.

In my TV, I have to go to settings, find audio, and select "optical" output for the sound and not the TV speakers.

This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
 

What happen if a fire happen and this unit burns? Can we get a real "backup in the cloud" ? How many gigabytes this could would be? Is it free to back up?

this is not "cloud" as is generally used. It is your own hard drive which sits in your home, but you can access it globally as if it were the cloud. Basically, it is not a safe cloud backup that you are looking for.

changinging sat. receivers from old to h.d. receivers ?

can download my sons football interviews from tv dvr to flashdrive so I can change satellite receivers ?
I can only speak for DirecTV DVRs. The HD versions will only output low def signals via the s-video or audio/video outputs, the destination was meant to be VHS tapes. With a video capture device and software, it is possible to record the video in a digital format onto a computer, which could be copied onto a USB drive. My understanding is that DirecTV do not want you to be able to copy HD broadcasts - which is understandable. The simplest way for you may be to set up a video camera and record the interviews directly from the TV. Sound quality will likely be a problem, but you will have a copy.

does this device have parental control?

Yes, Asus list it under AiProtection. You can set time schedules when specific users/devices can and cannot access the internet, also websites that you want to block. Very comprehensive
