Finally bought it for myself!

I had used a friend's guest pass a couple of years ago to play for a few hours and waited to buy this until it was a bit cheaper. Really enjoyed finishing this part and am working on the second part - Heart of the Swarm. Runs well on my Phenom 945 with AMD HD4770 video card.

The Queen of Blades no longer exists and Sarah Kerrigan has been restored to her human form. The Swarm is without a leader, scattered into several broods throughout the Koprulu sector. Yet all is not well. The artifact Jim Raynor used may have set Kerrigan free, but she still seems bent on assembling the Zerg broods, even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades. Is vengeance still on her mind? Or does Sarah Kerrigan have a new purpose? Will she be able to restore her strength and regain control of the Swarm? Or will Emperor Arcturus Mengsk finally be able to take out his weakened enemy?Help Kerrigan fight her way through an expansive single-player campaign in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Travel to some of the most dangerous worlds of the Koprulu sector, including Char, where a rogue queen is gathering eggs laid by the former Queen of Blades to hatch as her own, and Kaldir, a frozen planet that will require Kerrigan to adapt to the withering cold as she tries to find out what happened to her lost brood. Unlock new roles and acquire new abilities as you progress through the campaign. Mutate your zerg species in between missions to create a better, faster and stronger Swarm and explore new multiplayer maps with new units as you try to lead the Swarm to ultimate victory.

I waited to buy this until it got to this price point and have enjoyed playing through the first part of it. It continues the story of Part 1 and gives access to new missions and units - as you would expect. Can't find anything I don't like about it, runs well on my old Phenom 945 with AMD HD4770.

Does what it is supposed to do!

Nice, fast and a big upgrade for the small card that my daughter's phone came with! She is happy and I am happy. What more could I ask? The speed is more than her phone can handle, so I haven't been able to really test the speed since she won't let me take it back even for a few tests!

I was in the middle of a printing job and ran a few pages short so I stopped by Best Buy while I was out and found this paper on sale. I picked up a couple of packages and was impressed by the quality (maybe I was expecting a bit less because of the great price I got!) The only thing I noticed was the slightly yellowish color compared to the Pro paper I had from another manufacturer. It was only noticeable when they were stacked on top of each other, other than that this is a great product and did the job for me. Too many others are light-weight and don't feel as good when handled. Made my customer happy and the price was too good to pass up!

Keep dishes at an ideal temperature while entertaining using this Elite Cuisine ESB-301 electric buffet burner, which features a 1000W element for efficient heating. The chrome-plated drip pan helps make cleanup simple.

I use this to boil water for making my daily ration of sweet tea! A full pot takes a bit of time to bring to boil. I realize that is due to the wattage of the element, but I can't find a higher wattage - I suppose it is because of the current that would be required. I hope this lasts a bit longer than the last one, I don't think I got my money's worth out of it so I changed models from the cast iron element to the coiled style to see if this is better. This works great for a small burner and I am happy with it.

Needed a second one for home for my laptop and found this one at a great price. Came packed in a padded envelope and noticed that the end with the VGA connector was halfway falling off. Just snapped it back in and works just fine. I got the white one, but should have gotten the black since I don't own any of those products that normally use white accessories and it looks kind of out of place with my XPS - all brushed metal and black.

Print documents with sharp images in vibrant colors by using this Canon all-in-one laser printer. It has fast color output at 28 ppm, and its built-in Wi-Fi lets you connect to it from a mobile device without a router. This Canon all-in-one laser printer has a 5-inch color LCD screen with intuitive controls for easy operation.
We print in color a lot on Avery perforated card stock. Is this computer able to handle that type of printing?
Enjoy accurate control on a range of surfaces with this Logitech MX 910-001105 wireless laser mouse, which features Darkfield Laser Tracking for precision. Four programmable thumb buttons let you assign customizable commands for quick adjustments.
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.

Use your compatible cell phone on the TracFone network with this TracFone SIM kit, which contains GSM and CDMA LTE three-in-one (nano/micro/regular) SIM cards and activation instructions to suit your needs.
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.

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.
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 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!

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.
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 .
