Excellent printer, especially if it's on sale!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a good color laser for use in my classroom that wouldn't break the bank when the first set of cartridges run out. I searched all over and kept coming back to this one but couldn't talk myself into trying it at the normal price. Only a day or two later, it came up on one of Best Buy's daily specials and I jumped at it.
I couldn't be happier with my gamble. The print quality is very good (better than my last one with a brand named after a sibling) and the security settings are top notch. I was able to set it up so that I and another teacher can print, but my students can't so I don't have to worry about the toner being wasted on pictures or misprints!
The machine was easy to set up (but I do these kind of things a lot as our IT guy) and I was up and running in a few minutes. Since we had been using a Canon office copier for years, the interface and settings were pretty straightforward and I had IDs set and was ready to go.
The software is very simple to install and the onboard screen makes it easy to use at the machine as well. Just big enough to be useful, but not so big that it blocks the front of the machine.
I like the rack that holds the toner cartridges, making it easy to change them out. Paper handling is pretty good, I have run 64lb card stock through the multipurpose feeder without any problems. I expected a bit of curl, but it prints even heavy paper without much of a curl at all.
Definitely recommend to anyone that needs a fast, reliable color laser printer for a small office or classroom.

One of the greats!

In my opinion, this is about the best mouse ever made!
I have bought over a half dozen of these for my computers at home and work and for other people for theirs. The fit is just perfect for my hand and the extra buttons are in about the perfect place for each finger to control.
Over the years, I have only worn one of them out, and that was one of the first one I bought and used nonstop every day. It is still usable, but one the main button is a bit soft compared to the others. I am impressed by the quality of Logitech products over the years and this mouse is no exception. I hope they continue making these for a long time as I am planning to continue using them for years!
Best Buy has them on sale from time to time at half price which makes them perfect for stocking up and for gifts!
Definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a great mouse for about any use.

Great phone for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this phone for my wife and she really likes it. It does have some features that surprised me, but it fell short in too many areas that a few more dollars can get you.
I like the size and she likes the resolution. At only 720, it is a bit too low for my tastes, but is typical at this price point. Despite the limited storage, the phone performs very well. I would not be able to survive in 8GB, but she usually only calls and texts, so it is plenty for her.
I am impressed by the ease of setup and Tracfone had it up and running in a single business day. It was a very good match for my wife and I would say she would recommend it to anyone else. If this is the budget you have set, this phone and a microSD card can be a great investment for a nice phone.

Choose this unlocked Huawei Honor 6X smartphone for its powerful capabilities. It includes an octa-core Kirin processor and 3GB of RAM to run apps quickly, and it has 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded to 128GB by adding a microSD card.

Pretty amazing phone

I have continued to be impressed by this phone, seems every few days I find something else it has or can do. As a little background, I upgraded from an LG Tracfone that was technically a smartphone, but was quite old and really didn't do much beyond calls and texts.
I was going to go with a brand I was more familiar with, but kept reading about the features and decided to give the Honor 6X a try. As soon as I took it out of the box, I was impressed. It has a large screen, but still fits my hand easily, I often use it with one hand. The fingerprint reader is incredibly fast and almost never has a problem reading my fingers. The processor compares well to other more expensive phones and the RAM is enough to run multiple apps at the same time.
I wish it had a larger amount of storage, but I haven't even added a microSD card yet. I find the screen resolution to be enough to do most anything I need, although I am getting to the point that I use reading glasses more and more, so higher resolution would probably be wasted on me! The camera does a fair job, images that are taken outdoors and with perfectly still hands look very nice. Last week I took a class to the tide pools at the ocean and had about half of my pics come out great, so I need to work on it a bit. I am used to my image stabilized regular camera that is way more forgiving.
The only thing I would really knock about the Honor 6X is the volume on the speaker. I can hear well enough when using it normally, but the speakerphone is not nearly loud enough. Any, and I mean ANY, noise around you drowns out the sound even at max. I can see both sides of this I guess, even at max, the speaker doesn't resonate or have any negative sound, but that is because the volume stops before any of that can happen even with the small speakers. I have heard other phones that are even smaller with better sound than this.
For the price, I have no hesitation to recommend this phone to anyone looking for a full-featured phone at a very reasonable price point. The size, weight and screen make it almost feel smaller than its actual size.

Great router for the money.

After years of setting up routers (and building several of my own) I am pretty happy with these from Netgear. I have set up several of them and even with all the functions, they are very simple to do as long as you follow the instructions. Very simple setup, easy to change settings once it is set up, low price and a full feature set make this a very good buy.
I grabbed this one while on sale just to have a spare in my networking bag. Paired with a couple of Netgear USB adapters and a Netgear range extender, I have a complete mobile network whereever I can find a WiFi signal or a network port.
Can't say enough positive about Netgear's quality and reliability. I've reset it back to factory fresh several times and am very happy with it.

We were a little hesitant when we were in the store, the box wasn't too clear on how it actually looked. We took a chance and were very happy with the actual keyboard. It has a nice cover that will protect it and the keys feel very nice.

We print in color a lot on Avery perforated card stock. Is this computer able to handle that type of printing?

I have run 64lb card stock through mine without any trouble at all. Feeds about 15 pages through the multipurpose feeder without complaint. I've only run less than 100 pages, but haven't had a jam yet, and the pages come out almost completely curl-free.

If I lost the usb, can I get another one?

You can buy the Unifying receiver from Logitech or from some of the other online sites, but the prices are usually about what you can find some of the lowest priced wireless mice form Logitech, then you can have both the receiver and a new mouse as a backup. Just make sure you get a mouse that has the actual Unifying receiver, not one of the ones with a regular RF type.

Does the Tracfone BYOB kit include a Micro SIM? The packaging seems to show only Standard and Nano SIMS. I would be most interested in AT&T or T-Mobile SIMs compatible with Tracfone.

It has all three sizes of SIM cards for GSM and CDMA as well as a key to type in for CDMA phones without a card slot.

Does this phone work with Tracfone pay as you go?

Yes, I am using it with them right now and they have a bunch of plans and pay-as-you-go options now. Not sure I am to excited about the new website since I manage mine and my wife's phones, it keeps putting the new minutes on her phone even when I choose mine from the drop-down. This phone is a great addition to Tracfone's reasonable services.

What is the life of a router ? I get top 2 lights but no round bottom light. Do I have a bad router. Bought it new in 2009.

I've had routers last 2 or 3 years and others that have lasted until they were so obsolete that I pulled them from service for replacement! A lot depends on cooling and usage. Seven or eight years is a good long life for a router.

What service can you use for this router? And is it away u can purchase internet while u purchase this?

This is only a router, you need to plug it into a modem for your internet service. It allows you to add more than one computer to a cable or DSL modem. I have used several of these and have connected them to both cable and DSL service as well as building a new network off of en existing ethernet port. Very easy to set up and configure.

Can I use my Ooma phone serivce with this router?

With my present ISP, Im using a modem and Ooma phone service. Is this router all I need to go wireless and will it accommodate my Ooma (VOIP) phone?. Also, once I hook up this router, do I need anything else to be able to use Roku (besides the Roku device itself)?
I am currently running Ooma on this router and it didn't need any new setup at all. I just changed routers, ran the setup on the Netgear router, plugged in the Ooma box and it was working in a few minutes (just reboot the Ooma device and it will get its address refreshed). I didn't even have to log into the Ooma page or device to change settings.

Just a note - both Ooma and this router have been great devices, I can't be happier with either one!

Can you connect the internet

My current wifi router has a port for the internet connection. The Netgear R6400 has a WAN and four ethernet connections. Do you run the internet through the WAN connection? I still need my internet . I am not a techie.
Yes, just follow the included setup sheet and connect your internet to the WAN port when it tells you to. It is very easy to set up and will expand your single internet cable to both wired and wireless (on both 2.4 and 5GHz ranges) devices .
