Great accessory for a great phone.

It's slim, it's OEM fit. It works. The LED is cool but a little over rated. It helps when on silent mode to see if the caller is someone you need to speak with but it's hard to see in bright light. It doesn't interfere with curved scree protectors either.

Excellent Stereo Phone Headset for Work
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
My second one in 4 years - I burned out the battery in the last one. I tried replacing it with a cheaper unit and no luck. This is the headset for being on the phone all day or hours long WebEx sessions. The battery life is long the comfort is good and you can still hear what's happening around you. Also, nothing is a substitute for a boom mic.

Very good as a stand alone camera for the house.
on June 12, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to add one more layer of security - catching the event on camera. It works very well for this purpose.
Pro's:
The wide angle can see my front door, sliding glass door, and down my hallway. The quality of video is very good. The night vision is very good. The motion sensor is customizable so you can see events that are "big enough" to warrant recording. The sound is very good. I like the monitoring features too - but it's kind of a fluff feature. The fact that it looks more like a bluetooth speaker than a camera is a nice feature too. Easy to pair.
Con's:
You can't record to a network connected or cloud drive (or any other method but their service) - but none of the cameras in this range have that feature it seems. The air quality sensor needs t be calibrated which is hard to do when the outdoor air quality is very poor to begin with. No ability to access the camera from a PC - only your phone / tablet.
Neutral:
The phone app is ok and could use some improvement.
All in all it is a good device and meets my expectations - and caught my son sneaking snacks in the middle of the night (funny). Now he talks to the camera to tell me what he's doing.

This range cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing range.

Does the job - it's a cord.

Obviously good quality and long and flexible enough . It's a range cord folks- nothing fancy or cool here but it does the job and does it well. Always replace the range cord when you get a new unit.

Excellent Range Hood
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
I roast my own coffee which produces a tremendous amount of smoke and on high this unit pulls it right up and out. The four settings makes a great variety to match the kind of cooking your are doing. Install was easy enough if your handy and have done this kind of thing before. My house has a goofy set-up for exhaust from the range hood and it still went together easier than I thought it would. On high it is very loud but it's an ok trade if you need to vent lots of smoke or steam. Low and Medium settings are fine and 3 i still reasonable. The finish is great. The lights are ooo at best but until someone makes LED's that can withstand kitchen heat we're stuck with halogens. It doesn't come with the lights FYI.
All in all just what I was looking to get.

Very quiet, cleans great, lots of cycles.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This dishwasher is extremely quiet compared to my previous one. The wash cycles options are great. The 1 hour wash actually WASHES dishes. The automatic and normal are excellent. The heavy duty does the job as well. Stainless interior means cleaner and nicer for longer. The racks are well designed and the silverware caddy is great with individual sorting of flatware if you need. The fingerprint resistance works. It was a breeze to install (I've done a few before and this was easy the simplest. It's also lightweight and easy to maneuver if you are a DIY person. Solid product.

Quality Range with good temperature control
on April 21, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been watching this range for a while and when the appliance sale happened I jumped on it. The finish is nice. The control panel is plastic - of course, it has to be for the buttons to work. The stainless finish is nice and the textured glass top is also nice.
Ovens - The upper oven runs a little hot at pizza temperatures, probably because the air flow isn't good in a small size like this. At cookie and roll temps it's right on. It pre-heats super fast as well.
The lower convection oven is awesome. It too heats fast and when using the convection the even nature of the cooked product is excellent. Two roasts, pork ribs, and all sorts of other items and it's working great.
Cooktop - The versatility is great. one small/ large burner, two small burners, a medium one and the warming center. Temperature control is better than any electric cook top I've used. The medium burner is also dual control. One for fine discriminating of temperature and the other is a high intensity control which boils water phenomenally fast.
All in all it's well worth the investment and the dual ovens come in handy when cooking for larger groups.

Powerful Laptop at a good price point.
on February 24, 2017
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good mid-range gaming and amateur video editing laptop. At this size and weight it's more of a portable desktop that can move from location to location but that's the way it's used so it's great. The specs are all good and it was a slam dunk buying decision when it went on sale.
Pro's:
Fast quad core I7 processor with hyper-threading.
Fast and roomy 256GB SSD for quick application launch.
7200RPM 1TB spinning drive for mass storage at reasonable speeds.
GTX 965M video card specs about the same as 960 desktop card.
17in screen and lots of available ports.
12GB memory out of the box
Cons:
Plastic body identical to Pavilion series in quality so - eh.
Battery life ok at best (big screen eats it up).
Lighted keyboard could be brighter.
Already on clearance? Really?
Trully, though, for the sale price you couldn't match it. Too bad HP is speccing down to a 1050 in the new version. It keeps about the same performance but that's kind of cheap in my opinion.

Manage work or play with this Apple iPad mini. The 16GB of storage lets you download more content, while the 1GB of RAM handles multiple open apps. The 1.0GHz Apple A5 processor reduces lag time, and the 7.9-inch screen provides brilliant color display. Use this Apple iPad mini for up to 10 hours at a time for higher productivity.
 

What is the difference between pre-owned and refurbished??

Pre-owned is just plain used. Factory refurbished means a certified technician took it apart and fixed whatever was broken or worn out. Refurbished is better. Used is like a car - it’s unknown.

Immensely powerful, portable, and capable, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro features a redesigned Retina display that is the most advanced on the planet, while the A10X Fusion chip delivers more power than most PC laptops. ¹ With Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard, and iOS—the most advanced mobile operating system—iPad Pro is designed for the world we live in today. ²
 

Battery life?

Battery life depends on what your are doing. Games with graphics eat it up fast - about 4 hours max (world of warships is a good example). Video playback is better at 6+ hours depending on volume and screen brightness. General office use (email, word, etc.) and web browsing probably 10+ hours in real world use. Standby is great even with cellular. I’ve gone a couple days using it as I travel on the road without needing to charge it while just checking emails periodically and using work websites in between client visits.
Is it less that I’d like - yes. It’s a big screen with a fast processor in a light package so how much battery can really be crammed into it? Ultimately it’s so easy to charge anywhere a usb connection is available (airports, airplanes, cars, meeting rooms) that it doesn’t effect my workflow.

Will this work with a hotel/ motel wify?

No reason it wouldn't except if the wifi signal is too weak. The downsides are pairing it with each different network you are at each time you stay there and the fact that those networks are not secured.
Could you use it - yes. Would I recommend it -no.

What components are expandable, and this would include swapping out items such as the RAM, HD, and SSD?

All of the above. The RAM can be upgraded to 32GB, you could swap out the SSD for any sized one you wanted and the hard drive could be swapped out for a 2TD (5200rpm though) or any 2.5" SSD. I've also seen kits to swap out the DVD drive for an SSD as well. You can also get external SSD or HDD set-ups , including hot swap ( I have one), because the USB is plenty fast. As it sits it's pretty well set up.

Hope that helps,

I don't play games but I do stream movies and live sporting events. Will this laptop be good for streaming or is it overkill?

It's Overkill.
Any dual core Core series (I3, I5, I7) mobile chip (u series) with integrated graphic would process any video stream just fine. The internet connection at your home/office and the WiFi antennae on the laptop are more important. This is a mid level game machine or a good portable video editing machine. You'd also probably get let down by the battery life since there's a lot of horsepower and a really big screen to use up the small battery quite fast.

What software is loaded on the pc.

Just the standard stuff - Windows 10 Home with it's associated standard apps, HP's standard app set (help, set-up, etc.), some bloatware (not too bad) and some trial packages. You'll need to add anything really functional to it (Office, Photoshop, Games, etc...).

Would this be a good option labtop for running autodesk/ CAD/ Revit software on? How is it for running programs like photoshop? Would these programs run smooth and fast?

It would be strong enough for all those applications. Photoshop I know works smooth and fast. Desktops are always faster part for part for any higher end work but this machine is really a beast for the price.
