This is a great everyday business laptop do to do all your main tasks such as browsing, emailing, etc...I mainly needed this computer do do simple photo editing/graphic design on adobe photoshop elements and basic video editing on premiere elements. Everything works very well. Keyboard works perfectly, connects to wi-fi flawlessly. Internet browsing is fast. Some dislikes were the physical build quality of this laptop. Though it is thin and light, the plastic seems very fragile and can break easily, but I just have to be extra careful with it. And it carries the Dolby sound name, but the speakers sound just like any other simple and basic laptop. When using the laptop on the battery alone, the screen brightness goes to about 75% and no higher...it looks as if the battery alone is not enough to give the screen it's full brightness...however i always use the laptop while plugged in and the battery is only a backup in case of a blackout. Overall, this is a good laptop for anyone needing a simple and low cost workhorse PC.
What's great about it: simplicity, fast processor, price
What's not so great: Physical build quality, using it on a battery,speakers
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great tablet
on July 28, 2014
Posted by: erwinSD

This tab 4 has a small bezel design which makes the screen size feel larger than 7"...The performance is what I expected in quad cores as I can browse the net just as fast as my desktop computer which is connected via ethernet...One of the best features I like is the multi window mode. Now I can work with 2 windows open as I usually like to have YouTube videos playing while browsing the Web simultaneously...The cameras are decent if used in bright light as when taking pics and videos in a dim environment can result in a fuzzy outcome. I use the tablet from full charge to as low as 10% battery life left and I never have to put it down because the tablet never gets too hot to handle. Expect about 8 to 10 hours of basic browsing on a full battery charge. Some complaints I do have on this Galaxy, yet they are just tiny but yet there is easy solution to fixing all of them. One complaint being the unlit controls, however it's not too hard finding the buttons in the dark. Slippery back side, which won't be a problem since I'll be slipping on a rubbery and grippy case. Some apps such as the dolphin browser don't work as good as on my regular cell phone. My solution is just using the chrome browser and I'll just have to find an alternative to the other apps that don't work too well on the tablet. Overall a great performing tablet for business and entertainment.
What's great about it: simplicity, fast processor, price, overall design

I tried out some of the more expensive phone models that Metro PCS had to offer, and finally decided to go with this Huawei. The reason I chose this" Valiant" over the others is because I only needed a device for calling and texting, basic internet browsing, book reading and occasional GPS navigating. While holding the phone, it feels sturdy,quality built and easy to hold... The processor is quick and able to handle all the basics with ease. Call quality is superb on both the earpiece as well as the outside speaker. Battery Life is very good, as you can average 7 hours of basic usage on a single charge... Features that I like are the pre installed FM radio app, Ice cream Sandwich clock, purple indicator light for messages, and the good amount of notification/ringtone sounds that come pre-installed. Overall, the Huawei Valiant may be the best sub $60 phone for Metro PCS, or perhaps any phone carrier. I highly recommend it.
What's great about it: Excellent Call Quality, Loud speakers, Snappy Processor
What's not so great: No front facing camera, no camera flash, only 3G

Iv'e tried the Optimus L9,F3, as well as the L70 and now I have gotten my hands on this F6. This phone has everything I need for business/entertainment...Browsing is fast, call quality is loud and clear...Both the Data and Wi- fi networks work flawlessly. The Video is crisp & clear at 1080P. Still pictures come out good in bright light. One of my favorite features I like is the lighted,multi-color home button. One complaint from many people would give is that the phone has low internal storage, however It is plenty of room for me as there are only a few apps that I need for business. Overall, a great phone at a great price!

Great phone for everything and Great Service
on September 1, 2013
Posted by: erwinSD

Phone size:Large
After a week of use, I must say that this Optimus L9 is a great phone, and the best phone iv'e had thus far...The physical build of the phone is attractive and very well built. It performs everything very smoothly and quickly. With the large 4.5" screen, I no longer have need for a 7" tablet pc that i planned to buy, as this screen is large enough for everything I need it for...But I must say that it is the calling features are what impressed me the most, and with Metro PCS's $40.00 monthly unlimited 4G plan, you just cannot go wrong. The one feature I love the most is that you can make and receive calls/texts through Wi-Fi ,which is great if your in areas where you cannot get a good data reception. Regular calls and Wi-Fi calls are all crystal clear. One thing I wish it had was the color lighted home screen button like the Optimus F3. And I wish it had a indicator light, however these are small things and not really necessary. Also call volume on the ear speaker seems to be lower than average but speaker volume is loud enough. But overall an excellent phone with a low price tag that is great for business and entertainment.
What's great about it: Large screen, Fast, Wi-Fi calling,Metro PCS service
What's not so great: no home button light, no indicator light, low volume on calls

Returned the phone

The physical build of this Lumia phone looks great and I like the Windows Tile layouts and nice screen... however there were a few issues with the phone. First, the exterior camera launcher did not work...You Tube app did not work with this phone and I could not open Hotmail through the built in Hotmail app, as it states that there is an error.
Also, it seems just about every app you get has ad on it...And the selection of Apps is not as good as Android or IOS.
I even tried a free music downloader App and yet they still charge per song. The phone has been returned and I am switching to an Android phone.

I was not sure what to expect in buying this low priced android phone, however my expectations have been exceeded. The physical build of the phone shows quality throughout and it feels good in the hand as the back of the phone is a durable rubber. It is fluid in all functions from web browsing, downloading, and playing games. The phone has not crashed on me, nor has it dropped a wi-fi singal yet.
I still have yet to try any calls on it, as I'm only using it on the Wi-Fi network. But all my apps work very well without any problems.
Still pictures come out fair, and video camera is decent. However I wish there was a flash on the camera, but I'm usually taking pics in bright areas anyway.
One thing I like is that the external speaker is very loud and crisp. It has to be the best sounding speaker iv'e heard on any cell phone Iv'e owned.
Another feature is that it is a gsm phone which can be used internationally and even used on other networks.
Overall a great phone for business and organization.

Bring your laptop with you while keeping it protected in this Case Logic DLC-115 laptop case, which features neoprene-padded handles and a no-slip shoulder strap for comfortable carrying.
Posted by: erwinSD

This laptop case is a perfect fit for my samsung 15.6" laptop...The case is well padded and it's the most padded case I've ever seen, so it will give extra protection for you pc. It has unique ridged lining for even more protection for the laptop. Also, there is a compartment made for a 10" tablet which is an added bonus for me... I am glad i made this purchase, as this laptop case is just perfect.
What's great about it: price, sturdiness,padding,tablet compartment
What's not so great: nothing at all

This tablet does everything well and it is quality built.
It is very responsive and the picture is impressive. It includes a video maker as well as picture editor so this tab just might be able to replace that desktop pc. It is great for all the things i needed it for such as emailing,internet browsing,music,videos...At only $250.00 this is a great deal as I know this tab 2 is just as good, if not better than even pricier tablets.

This Visual Land Prestige 7 tablet features an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system for enhanced productivity and a 7" multitouch display for simple navigation of features. Wireless networking allows you to easily connect to the Internet.
Posted by: erwinSD
from San Diego
I was looking for an inexpensive tablet to bring to the work place and so I purchased this one...Although I usually buy name brand electronics, I thought I would give this Visual Land device a try due to it's low cost....The main purpose for this tablet was so that I could read different e-books as well as watch videos during down time. And secondly, to show still pictures to customers... The tablet connects to the internet flawlessly, the videos stream smoothly and net browsing is fast. The screen is clear and crisp and front facing cam is just as good as any basic PC webcam. There is one small exterior speaker which is good for hearing basic sounds, and sounds quite faint, so I would definitely recommend headphones or an aftermarket speaker system for games, movies, music, etc...
Though I was used to android 2.3 gingerbread, the latest Android 4.0 Ice cream sandwich is easy to adapt to and simple to use.
It is easy to transfer files to/from any computer via the included USB cable which also allows you to charge the battery via USB. I give the "Prestige 7" 4 stars and not 5 stars only because it's not compatible with Google play...
But overall a good entry level, basic tablet for the budget conscious.

Does it have a sim slot where i can put my metropcs sim? And if it does, then do I need to activate the phone or will my "already" activated sim work on it without any problem?
Since it is not a unlocked phone, you would still need to activate the phone itself, since it is a new phone with Metro PCS. If you get an unlocked phone, then you should be able to use your "already" activated sim card right out of the box.
