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.

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.

The NETGEAR AC1750 Smart WiFi 5 Router with external antennas delivers extremely fast WiFi. With AC1750 WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and high-powered external antennas, this router offers ultimate performance in wireless coverage for large homes with 12 or more wireless devices. It gets 3x faster access than similar 802.11n.
Do you have to have a modem to hook up the router? We have AT&T DSL
This router does not act as a modem, so you would need a modem to convert the signal from phone to ethernet. Once you have it this router does just about everything you could ask! You can add storage, printers and other wired devices to the ethernet and USB ports.

Prepare your favorite dishes with ease using this LG LCS1413SW mid-size microwave, which features 6 sensor cook and 9 auto cook options for simplified use. The EasyClean interior easily wipes clean to save you time.
is this microwave mountable for under a cabinet?
I didn't see any place on the sides or back to support it when I mounted ours in our fifth wheel, so you would need to build some sort of sling to hold it from underneath. It is not designed to be mounted over a stove or hung from under a cabinet. It does say in the manual that it needs room around it for ventilation so check that you follow all the requirements there. When I mounted ours on the shelf, I used several existing screws on the bottom side to connect the brackets from the old microwave.

Stream content wirelessly from your Apple® iPad®, Mac or other compatible device to a projector through your Apple TV with this Belkin AV10145BT HDMI-to-VGA adapter, which converts digital HDMI output to an analog VGA signal for a crisp image.
HDMI TO VGA
THIS IS WHAT I NEED, I HAVE A HP LAPTOP WITH WINDOWS 8 WITH A HDMI OUTPUT AND I WANT TO CONNECT TO A MONITOR THAT IS OLDER WITH VGA INPUT . WHAT DO I NEED TO DO THIS WITH? I ALREADY HAVE A CABLE 10' BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. THANKS,TO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME
This adapter worked very well on several of our VGA projectors, running from a couple of different HDMI sources, but it didn't work at all with others - no matter which cables we used. The only thing you can do is try it, and then return it if it doesn't work for you. You will need a VGA cable (probably already on the monitor) and this device since it has an HDMI cable on the end.
Good luck!

Please help me! Is this what I need?
So I'm on an alienware 14 laptop, and it only has a HDMI port. I just bought a BenQ xl2411z monitor so I could run 120 hz. Turns out through HDMI you can only go as high as 60 hz. I did some research and purchased a high speed hdmi cable, it said I would be possible to run up to 600hz (or whatever your monitor went up to, as long as it wasn't higher then 600hz. So I tried it, I could run 120hz BUT in a low resolution (not even hd, it was 1024,768). I want a minimum of 1280x720 with anything higher then 60hz. If I use this chord to connect to my laptop, will I be able to run 120hz?
Please help me!
Please help me!
I really don't think so. This adapter has a smaller bandwidth than HDMI, as VGA was never intended to run high resolutions at high refresh rates. You MIGHT find different results trying different cables (as I did just trying to get Apple TV to work through this on a VGA projector), but the limitation is most likely with your hardware on your laptop. I can't find any hard numbers from Dell, but it wouldn't surprise me if it can't handle the bandwidth to do 120Hz at the resolutions you want.
Is there an actual reason why 60Hz can't work for you? I am not trying to be snide, I know from experience that I get frustrated when something says it can do something and then after I sink a bunch of time and money into it I find it really can't! I realize the refresh rates are important - especially in games - but refresh rates on paper and the actual way a product looks don't always compare well.
Can you take your laptop into your local Best Buy and hook it up to a 120Hz screen there and try some of their cables they have laying around? Maybe one of the combinations will work better. The store in my town is pretty good about wanting to make sure things work for the customers and they usually go out of their way to help as much as they can.
Good luck, hope you find a combination that works.

Paper - Printer Brand Compatibility?
Hi,
I have Canon Pixma MX340. I was wondering if this HP photo paper will be compatible with my printer? Thanks

It works great in both my Canon MP600 (yes, it is still printing great after all these years) and my Brother MFC-J4710DW. I set it to run on high quality and was happy with the results. On my Canon, I used the top feed so the path was more straight since the paper is so thick and on the Brother I fed from the back for the same reason.
