Store your files safely on this 240GB PNY solid-state drive. It achieves write speeds of 500MB/sec. and read speeds of 535MB/sec., providing transfer rates faster than traditional hard drives. The lack of moving parts on this PNY solid-state drive reduces its chance of failure.

Over 5 years of doing SSD upgrades I have had a few that have had premature failures. PNY is value priced brand that has been reliable for me so far and having them available at your local store for instant gratification is great.

Snap colorful, high-quality photos with this Sony camera. Its 4D FOCUS system locks onto a subject within 0.05 seconds, and it shoots pictures up to 11 frames per second with continuous exposure tracking for outstanding image quality. This Sony camera records video in 4K and oversamples the video signal to produce detailed footage.Memory card sold separately.

An excellent upgrade from the a6000.
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: Tallman610
from NH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had an a6000 last year but sold it as I tried other systems. When I wanted to get back to the Sony system I was torn as to whether the a6300 or the a6500was worth the extra costs. They all use the same sensor. Both the a6300 and a6500 have upgraded video and focusing and electronics. The a6000 is a fine camera, but using dpreview.com as a resource, it appeared both were noticeably better on focus and add 4K video. But $300 or $600 better for stills? I decided on the a6300 and am satisfied with the speed and versatility. Unless you are really buying it for 4K videography, there is no significant improvement with the a6500 and if you don’t care at all about 4K, the a6000 is also an excellent choice and the best value in Mirrorless cameras.

For 70% of purchases, I say no. But I have found them to save money on appliances often enough for me to feel that they are worthwhile. Not so much with a retailer on the skids, but Geek Squad appliance services have been great.

The Whole is Less Than the Sum of Its Parts
on November 3, 2017
Posted by: Tallman610

Verified Purchase:Yes
This range replaces a virtually identical 5 year old GE that had a cracked glass cook surface. The replacement part was $450. Given that price and the fact that the oven was dirty and needed cleaning (even a self cleaning oven requires elbow grease), it made sense to replace it. Even with the crack, a smooth glass top is so much easier to maintain that I would never go back.

My power hungry desktop system has a big UPS but the network and internet equipment is just as important to keep protected and running. This is just big enough for that job and affordable.

Hope for a sale price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
At the original price of $399 1 didn't consider it. At a reduced price of $329, I bought it but returned it as the audio quality and complex controls didn't justify that price either. When it sold on sale at $229, prior to a model update (WH-1000XM2) I repurchased it and I am keeping it.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had both iPad Pros, the 12.9" purchased day one and a 9.7" purchased 10 months ago. I sold both and bought the 10.5" hoping it would be a good compromise providing light weight with a larger screen. It turns out that it is a great step up from the 9.7" model but both sizes each have good reasons to be your main iPad.

will this work (bluetooth) with my apple TV; my older MacAir would not, nor could it be connected via HDMI

I would also like to confirm that I could play my DVD's via the onboard burner? and then put them up on my big screen. Would that be hardwired HDMI or Bluetooth?
I also have an external DVD burner. Will these ports drive that? Again, I was told that even the new MacAir would not do that as they are not powered ports and most DVD's require that?
Absolutely. It has Bluetooth 4.0.
No need for an external DVD burner as it has one built in, but it does have 2 powered USB3 ports.
The Air supports the Apple USB SuperDrive and generic USB burners when it is plugged in to its charger.

With TurboWrite technology, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E500B 500GB internal SATA hard drive allows you to quickly update files. The 32-layer 3D VNAND flash memory ensures reliable performance, and AES 256-bit encryption keeps your data private.
 

How does installing an SSD affect you warrantly in a new computer? Does it void your warranty?

Varies by brand. If, to install it, you have to get to a screw under a "Warranty Void If..." label, you have your answer. I usually keep the original drive so as to be able to restore the computer to stock. That also allows me to have the ability to test to see if the problem requiring warranty service is drive or software related, or a real hardware problem elsewhere. Make sure to use the right tools when doing the swap or installation and refer to repair guides at iFixit.com or YouTube.
