Outstanding Sound Quality and Comfort
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
These head phones provided the best audio I have ever heard on a headset. They do have Dolby 7.1 so that was no doubt part of the great sound quality. Microphone worked great. I liked the option to flip the mic up to mute or you could simply press a mute button on the headset. One feature I don't often see, but was much appreciated is that when muted, a red band appears on the mic boom so you know for sure it is really muted.
This headset is wired so there is no delay which I prefer some times with super-fast-paced games. The ear cups were soft enough and do handle a little sweat easily. I did not feel a pinch when wearing my glasses. The floating headband design was comfortable but I did feel some pressure, so I used the feature where you can adjust the headband by giving out more slack on both sides. It is important to note that I almost missed this adjustable option. Since the design is so clean, one may not notice the strap can be adjusted. This ‘flex-band’ design is so much simpler than moving the ear pads via the old sliding systems. Plus you don’t risk breaking a wire that might not slide along – no chance with this nice design – tip of the cap to the engineers at Corsair.
If you’d like a real audio treat. Set up your computer with an installation of the iCue software and add these headphones to the dashboard. Play someone like Andrea Bocelli. You can adjust equalization using the iCue software if you want Pure, Movie, Competition, Chat or Bass Boost. Make sure you have surround sound on. Wow, the experience is astounding. Try Piano or Violin or whatever you like, very nice sound reproduction. A tip of the cap to the software developers at Corsair as well.
I would highly recommend these headphones for the great sound and superior comfort using the 'flex band' system, and the integration with the iCue software.

Super Fast External SSD, Nice Case
on May 26, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
Samsung has great products in the Tx line. I have used prior Samsung external SSDs and found them to be very functional.
The T7 Shield has improvements in all the key areas of speed, dust prevention and water resistance. The optimal speed ratings do require cables that support USB 3.2 Gen 2 with UASP mode enabled.
One of the nicest features is the soft rubber coating. This coating shape improves heat dissipation but maybe more importantly is very tactile and will help you avoid dropping the device which at times is a problem I have encountered with smooth sided external SSDs. The physical design is such that when you place the device on a table, there is airflow allowed underneath the unit – tip of the cap to the Samsung engineers for that design point.

The size is not the current smallest, but is smaller than all the external SSDs I have used before. It comes with some utility files installed on the unit; you can take advantage of those or just remove them. One very nice feature is a 3 year parts and labor warranty. Samsung supplies this unit in different colors which is an extra benefit so you can identify your records by color if you like. I would recommend this unit highly, great design points

Very Comfortable, Functional and Intuitive
on May 24, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
Very nice headset, solid and most important it is extremely comfortable. I used about 3 hours with no pinched ear pain at all. Also important is with my glasses the headset did not pinch me. The glasses test is very important for me since some headsets don’t have the right curve in the design to ensure they stay put, are comfortable and allow glasses to be worn without discomfort. Tip of the cap to the Plantronics/Poly engineers.
Normally I like one ear free so this headset worked best for me. The mic is reversible to either side of head. This unit does not work with all its functions unless you install the Poly Lens app. This is important whether you use it with a cell phone or with a PC. I didn’t install the app for my first test and I noticed the mute button didn’t work. However, once I installed the app, the button worked fine – my bad. Also there are other functions that will not work unless you have the app, so I suggest you review the owner’s manual; go to poly.com/lens (or go straight to this product with this link: https://www.poly.com/us/en/support/products/bluetooth-headsets/voyager/voyager-4300-uc
I do like to check out product sites when doing reviews and I can say without reservation that the Poly site is one of the best ever. Well designed and excellent support if needed. In my case I just wanted to understand more about enabling features. You can download the app or update software from this site. Also you should click on the ‘Guides and Manual’ tab. The 16 page manual is a must read I felt, and will show you all the details not included in the ‘Start Here’ Guide that was in the box. Very well done. They also include Troubleshooting Tips, Help contacts, etc.
Audio is not the best but this is expected as the function here is for meetings. However, I enjoyed Youtube music as well and the this helped me test the volume and playback features on this device. Very intuitive and worked flawlessly – no missed tapping or jabbing – all the button/switches worked perfect. This is an upscale headset.
If you are looking for a professional headset for meetings or call center use (which I am very familiar with and experienced), this is a beautiful headset and I highly recommend it.

Useful & Secure Crypto Wallet
on May 21, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
This crypto wallet does provide a very desirable function to consolidate all your crypto into one device. This particular Nano S Plus sits in the middle of the current array of Ledger devices. It can have as many as 100 installed apps – note these must be the apps the device will recognize. One of the apps I use for Bitcoin for example was not included in the current accepted apps but Ledger does give you an opportunity to request future inclusion – nice touch. In any event, the list of acceptable apps will allow you to manage all your various crypto currencies in one place.
Most important is the security of the device. A tip of the cap to the Ledger design engineers for using a secure certified chip (CC EAL5+) to ensure your protection is optimized in today’s world.
You can install apps on many platforms including Windows, Mac, Android, Apple iOS and even Linux. This device does not have Bluetooth connectivity (the Ledger Nano X does but costs more), so you will need a cable. Oddly the device has a USB C port but the single cable provided works only with a computer USB A port; although the cell phone use is touted. I started to install on my Android cell phone and found at that time that I would need a USB C to USB C cable which was not supplied. This was not optimal since it is very important to do a smooth install to be sure you manage the security of the device. Point is that while installing, the device will generate a 24 word code (called your Secret Recovery Phrase) that you MUST record and not lose. This 24 word code is the only way to recover your assets if you lose/damage your Nano device, or forget your pin. So I was surprised to realize I had to go find the right cable after I installed the app and was ready to connect.
The other concern as to installation was that you are warned to very carefully follow the step by step instructions but one of the first things I noticed was even after I installed the app, one instruction popped up to download the app which was already running. My critique is that this is a very sensitive situation so the software designers need to go back through their instructions to eliminate even these types of smaller bits of confusion to ensure confidence in the users for a device that handles financial transactions.
Another area of install I would alter is the input of your PIN, I noticed that as you enter a digit it is then blocked from view. In the install situation it would be better to leave the pin digits displayed. You do need to reenter the PIN for verification so that helps. But the designers should realize that you are creating your PIN in a secure environment and it is more important to show the PIN since the user will be wanting full awareness of what is going on. Small point but I think worthy to note.
Overall I was satisfied that the device is secure, just needs some tweaking on the install. I like the ability to manage all your crypto currency in one very secure spot. This device is functionally very well designed and I would recommend it.

Powerful Vacuum That Empties Itself
on May 17, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
I was very impressed with the functionality of this vacuum system. There are two parts, the cordless stick vacuum and the power base. The vacuum proved to be very powerful in cleaning about 1200 square feet of carpet on the turbo setting and still had plenty of charge left. This system came with two batteries. It is important to state one battery charges in the base power unit (to be ready when needed) and the other battery will also charge when the stick vacuum is docked on the base unit. Very smart design point. These 26 volt batteries provide a lot more suction power than the usual 14 to 18 volt systems; and proved long lasting as well.
After vacuuming 1200 square feet I noticed that the dust bin on the stick vacuum had about 3 inches of hair and dust particles. I had just used another cordless stick vacuum the day before for the same area. So this test definitely showed the LG vacuum power was far superior.
The power base unit has its own vacuum setup to suck out the stick vac’s dustbin into a dust bag housed in the power base unit. I can confirm that the 3 inches of pet hair and dust was removed into the base unit (see my before and after photos). When I looked at the stick vac’s dust bin, not only was all the debris gone but it appeared the inside of the dust bin had been wiped clean – great system and a tip of the cap to the LG engineering team. You will notice that when the base unit cleans the stick vacuum dust bin, it actually opens the bottom plate on the dustbin and closes it again when the cycle is completed – I love that kind of engineering. The whole system has solid quality and is very well designed.
The system included a very complete set of accessories that included a small cleaning brush which was very handy for cleaning filters, a crevice tool, a combo brush and suction head that was great for cleaning car floors, a vacuum head with moving roller-brush for carpet, a mop head (2 spinning disc-shaped mops with liquid chamber) and a pet nozzle for furniture and other areas. Wow, a lot of uses covered. All these accessories store in the power base unit.
If all these features aren’t enough, the unit connects to your home’s WiFi system. Now using your cell-phone you can monitor activity of this vacuum system. I initially thought the WiFi control button was on the base unit, but it is on the stick vacuum and is labelled. The unit easily connected to the WiFi – you must use a 2.4 GHz access point.
I did also run the included mop head to clean my kitchen and bathroom floors. Easy job but be sure to wash the mop heads by hand after each use. It’s easier to dry the mop heads in a dryer but don’t put the heads in a washing machine.
The technology used in this vacuum system is outstanding. I highly recommend this vacuum system.

Light Weight, Great Sound & Easy to Use
on May 13, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
These buds are a steal at this price point. Very nice quality and all the function needed for music listening. The charging case is compact and the earbuds slide in for charging with ease due to a perfect amount of magnetic assist. Charge time is about 2 hours and the case also provides an additional charge option.
I like the simplicity of these buds such that you can handle music play with normal volume up/down and pause and fast forward without too many optional commands that you seldom use anyway. I noticed you will need to pick up the rhythm of taps else you will stop playback when you try to increase/decrease the volume. No worries though as after only a few tries you will pick up the right tap process. These buds are very light and fit with very comfortably in your ear – even over several hours. These type of buds are designed to fit optimally by moving the earbud forward or back till it finds the best position in your ear. Contrary to what one may think, although these are solid without gel type padding; in reality they are much more comfortable than the padded types I have used.
The earbuds have Bluetooth 5.1 and paired instantly with my cell phone and also my laptop.
It is important for earbuds to have water resistance and these are fine since they have IPX4 resistance to sweat and rain.

Sound is excellent and is accomplished via neodymium magnet drivers. These drivers weigh less and still maintain very good bass and tone quality. JVC engineers made a good choice using them for this product, tip of my cap to them. I do recommend these earbuds: very nice style, weight and sound reproduction.

Innovative Brush Design, High Quality Product
on May 2, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
The Burst Sonic Toothbrush clicked all the boxes for me. It is very high quality and does a great job cleaning my teeth. This rechargeable tooth brush not only cleans your teeth but also has a special brush-head that really massages your gums much better than any product I have used before.
You do need to read the manual as it does explain the three brushing modes and how to select the modes. The device does have a pause every 30 seconds that you will sense, and this is a reminder to move the brush to another quadrant of your teeth. It just takes 2 minutes to do a great cleaning of your teeth. Yes, you should use toothpaste with this brush.
A good idea is to ensure you use new brush heads about every 3 months or even more frequently. I like electronic toothbrushes and I know it is important to make sure you have strong new bristles. You can join a program that will send you a brush every 3 months, but the brush-heads are available from many stores. I noticed that if you enroll in the manufacturer’s brush replacement program, you get a lifetime warranty for the device, otherwise you just register the device for a 1 year warranty. A very nice instruction booklet is included with this toothbrush.
These brush-heads have a small ‘x’ shaped rubber nub that is great for massaging your gums and even for cleaning between teeth – I had not seen this feature before – tip of the cap to the engineers who developed this feature. When done brushing, your mouth does feel very refreshed and clean.
I also liked the handle which is unique in that it has diamond shaped impressions on the handle which does help to control the device. I highly recommend this innovative and very effective product.

Evens Up Even Curly Beards
on May 2, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Age:65+
Gender:Male
Very nicely and intuitively designed trimmer. Being able to use cordless is an important feature. Cleaning is simple, just run the blade end under water. There are 58 length settings utilizing 3 adapters, so you are sure to find the right trim for your beard, hair or mustache. Actually after a few times I had figured the adapter and settings to ensure my beard is handled the way I want, with a different setting for mustache and another different setting for soul patch. Great versatility. It also has a nice LED charging indicator and includes a very well written/complete manual.
Quality is superb. The unit is solid and the design of the mechanism to control depth is very ingenious – tip of the cap to the engineers at Panasonic. Some key guidance from the manual is to apply oil before and after each use. Also remove the blade and let it dry separately. They do include a small cleaning brush and it was simple to keep the unit clean and well maintained – very convenient.
I have used several other brands and found this device to be the most effective and quickest to get my beard in shape. More to the point my beard is a little curly so some brands don’t make it as even as I want. But this shaver really evens out the whiskers – great. I would highly recommend this versatile, quality and effective trimmer.

Very Nice Crisp Graphics
on April 29, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
Setup for this monitor required some tweaking of the default settings to increase brightness and contrast to allow the games to show on screen better. I liked the 27 inch size over my current 23 inch monitor. It gave me more real estate but was not too large for my desk space; and this made the games much more exciting I felt.
The display was bright but not brilliant to my eye, could have been a little more vibrant colors. However my sample of games certainly could play a part in this impression, as well as the graphics processor. The price performance is certainly a factor as this level of quality and specifications hit a nice sweet spot – it does have Nvidia G-sync, very nice.
I did play several games including Forza Motorsports, War Thunder from my Gaijin account, and some flight simulators and Farmville type games. The adjustments for this monitor are intuitive so that’s a tip of the cap to the ASUS engineers. I felt the color changes maintained crisp images at all times which for me is most important. This is also an IPS ultra wide angle monitor - another spec I look for. It has stereo speakers but not a lot of volume from these speakers, but very nice to have if you don’t attach external speakers of course.
I ended up loving this monitor after some adjustments and would highly recommend it.

Excellent Mid-Level Gaming Machine
on April 29, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
from New Smyrna Beach, FL
I was very impressed with this mid-end gaming machine. Partly due to the lower price point which many folks do need, notwithstanding some compromising of specifications. There is ample capability for those wishing to upgrade memory, storage and even CPU and GPU. However I think ASUS hit the mark with those of us gamers who are quite willing to save the bucks for a unit that nonetheless performs very well on many types of games; and we can upgrade over time if we need to.
I recommend replacing the side panel with the included clear plexiglass panel. If you are new to these upgrades note there are 8 screws included. Use the 4 which go on first to provide a bushing and thread socket for the other 4 screws. Easy enough. The acrylic panel stands away from the desktop since it does not have holes for ventilation like the base side panel. I calculate the acrylic panel actually provides more airflow than the perforated side panel. There is a great light show in many colors that is defaulted inside the cabinet; but you can change the light show if you wish. I loved it.
The fan cooling is sufficient for the Intel i5 processor. If you wish to install faster processors with more threads, then I would suggest upgrading the fan as well. There are two fans, one for the processor and another comes on as needed to expel heated air quickly through the back of the tower.
An HDMI cable and a Display Port cable are both included. I tried both and they work almost identical in this configuration. I noted that I had to use the ports on the graphics card, the ones at the top of the back panel were inactive – not a problem.
The keyboard and mouse are very basic, however I like this design point of spending less on the included keyboard/mouse to keep the price lower since I like many folks will already have lighted gaming mechanical keyboards and gaming mice. ASUS I think again hit the right marketing tradeoff.
I tried a sample of various games including Forza Motorsports, War Thunder from my Gaijin account, and a bunch of fun games like flight simulators. Everything worked well and the graphics and speed were great. Sound was super great through my USB attached ‘shoulder speakers’ loved the sounds.
The important specs are 11th geni5-11400F, Nvidia GeFGorce GTX 1660Ti and 16 GB memory. The processor is a six core and twelve thread design – nice and power enough for mid-level gaming. My plan is to double the memory and have fun with more high powered games. There is a 512 GB SSD.
I am very pleased with this ASUS Gaming Computer and would highly recommend it for those operating in this price point who want a solid performer.
I recommend replacing the side panel with the included clear plexiglass panel. If you are new to these upgrades note there are 8 screws included. Use the 4 which go on first to provide a bushing and thread socket for the other 4 screws. Easy enough. The acrylic panel stands away from the desktop since it does not have holes for ventilation like the base side panel. I calculate the acrylic panel actually provides more airflow than the perforated side panel. There is a great light show in many colors that is defaulted inside the cabinet; but you can change the light show if you wish. I loved it.
The fan cooling is sufficient for the Intel i5 processor. If you wish to install faster processors with more threads, then I would suggest upgrading the fan as well. There are two fans, one for the processor and another comes on as needed to expel heated air quickly through the back of the tower.
An HDMI cable and a Display Port cable are both included. I tried both and they work almost identical in this configuration. I noted that I had to use the ports on the graphics card, the ones at the top of the back panel were inactive – not a problem.

After setup was complete, the computer suffered many glitches, both in hardware and software. E.g. the computer kept disconnecting from my Wi-Fi and I had to go in and retype the password. Computer locked up several times and I had to unplug it to shut it down so I could reboot it. Much of my software apps displays were incredibly small and I could find no way to change them. These were just a few of the most glaring examples.

You Can Change Size of Objects & Text
December 27, 2015
The ultra HD display can be adjusted. Go to Settings, System (Display is in there), Advanced Display Settings and change the resolution to 1920x1080. Then continue on to Advanced Sizing of Text and Other Items; now click on 'Set a custom scaling level' (blue text) and select 110%. Now everything will be correct. Most apps don't work well with the Ultra HD yet. But your machine will be powerful as new Apps come out. Once the machine updates to latest Windows 10, you will find it great.

By Merv
Worked great in the beginning but had trouble keeping battery power and is dead now and will not recharge. Also not easy to clip on. The band included to wear on your wrist is 4" thick at least and not practical. It would have been better to purchase on of the wrist versions versus the one. I hope Best Buy will allow me to exchange due to the default.

FitBit One Wide Band
January 22, 2016
You do realize the wide band is ideal for sleep monitoring as it is very comfortable on the wrist all night. It is not a watch band. Also various suppliers make a band that the Fitbit One can snap into and then it can be worn as a watch. SO if you like the Fitbit otherwise, just get the watch band for it.

Syncing Fitbit One
January 22, 2016
I noticed trouble syncing and it seemed if you have the application open and the Fitbit is connected to your PC, then it won't sync with your phone and vice versa. Not sure if that is an error or the design. Once application closed on PC now the phone sync'd in a couple seconds. So maybe this is what some people are seeing?

This AIO has superior resolution to others. Some reviews spoke about a text problem, however you can improve the text via going to settings, display, advanced and 'cleartype text' and follow the steps. Also has 3D display capability which is good for future needs for me. Sound is nice with Jensen speakers. Touch screen is great. WIFI is super and has both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges with Wireless AC. Very quiet fan. Lenovo support has regressed but is do-able I asked a simple question and the tech had no idea, also the website seems broken in the support area; glad I got Geek Squad. But this AIO is one great machine. price is very reasonable for what you get. Love it.

Intel Has Fix for Display Errors
March 7, 2016
Here's good news after I called and got an update from Lenovo support. The problem of getting errors such as "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered..." seems to be fixed. But the Lenovo support site does not have the driver version to install since it is still in 'maintenance' or Beta test. However you can get the driver from Intel for their 530 graphics hardware at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25620/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-6th-Gen-?v=t
The driver version is 20.19.15.4352 (you're probably using 4300). Now if you download the driver and run the driver install as you normally do under Windows it will say either you are already at the most current driver level or that your manufacturer has not ok'd the use of this level. But the Lenovo tech helped me install it. Basically you need to go to Device manager, select the Intel HiDef Graphics 530, and click to update the driver. Select to install from your computer and say you have a disk and then select the folder where you unzipped the new 4352 driver stuff. Now it will install this driver. I have not seen the display driver error message any more so it appears that this driver fixes things. I had tried all kinds of combinations of settings for the NVDIA driver (there are two display drivers) in conjunction with the Intel driver thinking that the interaction caused the problems. But hopefully this driver level will work. Call Lenovo if you don't want to try to install it yourself.

3 out of 5Good but some issues
By Mike944
The 4K screen is what sold me. However, it has a lot of glare and not as stunning as you would think for it being 4k display. Also, the video card seems to crash and recover randomly. The system stays on and it recovers well on its own, but it seems to do this regularly nonetheless. Also the keyboard is a very flat, chiclet laptop style keyboard with next to no key travel, resulting in a lot of typing errors. I do not care for this type of keyboard. Otherwise, the performance is pretty snappy with no lag and Windows 10 is a huge improvement over 8.

Graphics Card Problem Fixed
March 19, 2016
I had the same problem with video card crash and recover. Finally a fix is available I have it installed for 2 weeks and not a single error. You have to download a driver from Intel for 530, it is level 20.19.15.4352 You cannot get it from the Lenovo support site because it is a Beta driver. I stumbled into it because I called IBM support and happened to get a tech who knew about it. Go here to find the driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88345/Intel-HD-Graphics-530-for-6th-Generation-Intel-Core-Processors Now you need to update the driver but the normal procedure ( go to driver tab in Device Manager...) will result in a message saying you can't install this driver... But if you go to the Device Manager and then right click the device then click on 'update driver software', then flow through browsing on your computer and say 'have disk'... and point where you unzipped the file; it will install it. If you can't weave through the steps just call Lenovo and the tech will show you or Best Buy Geek will show you. I've tested it and it works fine, great not to see those video crash and recovered errors.

By BBPurchaser071
After purchasing, the specs on the graphics card is GTX 950A, NOT A 950.Looking up the specs of the 950A, here is what is on NVIDA site: We recommend the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950A for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 1280x720. Why would they put in a graphics card in a 4K monitor that can only support great quality up to 1280X720. Taking it back to store.

This PC has Two Graphics Cards
June 5, 2016
You make a good point. This PC has two graphics cards and the other is the Intel HD 530 but I see it recommends only up to 1366x768. I know the display is supposed to handle 3840x2160 and you can select this setting and it works fine. I'm wondering if the limits on each card are overcome because you have both graphics cards? Maybe the manufacturers just undershoot the real capability? Anyway my Lenovo AIO 700 works great and I love it. For the money it is the best deal. I do know that you have to install a new driver for the HD 530, make sure you have 20.19.15.4352 (this is a Beta driver you can get from Intel) If you don't get it, you will get frequent from the HD 530.

1 out of 5Worst Computer Ever
By Disappointed
This computer is very aesthetically pleasing and has great specs. The 4k screen is very nice and the accessories work great.
However...
1.
This computer constantly is crashing citing a graphics card error. Simply browsing the internet or typing a Word document and the screen will constantly be crashing.
2.
The computer will not let me install updates and programs are constantly freezing and crashing. The only programs I have installed are Kaspersky protection suite and Microsoft Office suite.
**One day I turned on my computer and attempted to create a Word document only to find that the computer had deleted the entire office suite! There is no trace it ever existed.
3.
Simple tasks such as opening a program take a ridiculous amount of time. For a solid state hard drive, opening Windows Explorer takes on average 5 MINUTES!!! I have nothing saved on this computer!

Display Error Problem Fixed
August 12, 2016
I once worked at Lenovo & IBM and know a little about display drivers. The problem here is Lenovo's support site recommends the wrong driver level for the Intel 530 Display Driver. All you need to do to automatically fix this is use the Intel Driver Update Utility. Download it and it will show a list of recommend driver updates. For starters just choose the display driver update. At this time it will install level 20.19.15.4463 -> all your problems will go away. You can also let it install any other drivers it may find are down level. It is great. Here is the link to download the utility: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility By the way, for this computer to allow stuff I use like Windows Live to look better, I change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 and set the text scaling level to 110%. At the price, this is a super wonderful computer but need to make the changes I suggest.

This is a steal especially at the sale price. Beautiful touchscreen display, quad core processor albeit not the fastest but 4 cores and made by Intel so not power hungry. Dual Band AC WiFi which is important. Also very solid build, great keyboard. Only thing that slowed it down was 5400 rpm 500GB HDD. Some reviews said slow and it was a bit, but pop in an SSD and it flies super fast. You can use a free program like EASEUS to clone the HDD exactly to the SSD, including the recovery partition etc. Now you keep the old HDD as your instant backup image if needed. 4GB memory appears to be enough. Great function as tablet or tent or normal PC. Very portable which was one of my needs. If you want to step up, get HP's 13.3 inch same as this just bigger, 6GB memory but same tired old 5400 rpm drive problem but you can fix that with an SSD; and this more expensive one has a 6th gen core i3. I couldn't afford the bigger one, but I also liked the smaller 11.6 display anyway. Both have IPS display technology - great.

SSD Can be Swapped in Here's How
August 13, 2016
I did see the instructions you refer to and they are for an x360 Notebook. It is confusing, as this PC is an x360 2in1. HP does take you to the wrong place. But I looked further and HP does provide a Hardware Maintenance Manual for the x360 2/1. It shows you exactly how to get inside and replace anything from the battery to memory to the HDD. I will paste in the link to the manual and it shows you each step. But I'll give you an overview. You do have to be careful but it is not too difficult. First before removing anything I used a free program called EASEUS Backup which cloned the 500 GB HDD to a 500 GB SSD (it makes it identical including the recovery partition). You do need a USB cable to attach the SSD to a USB port on this PC to make the clone. Then basically you remove 12 screws on the bottom and flip it face up and gently pry the keyboard up first at the hinge end. Don't pull the keyboard off all the way as you have to remove two flat cables from their ZIF connectors. ZIF connectors are easy to release but you do have to notice which side of the connector that you flip up. It is easier if someone holds the keyboard up slightly while you release the ZIF's. I was able to do it myself. Once the keyboard is off, you remove 2 screws from the HDD (it says 4 but I only saw 2 screws) and also another ZIF cable to release the HDD from the board. You will have to take the bracket and the cable plug off the hard drive and put them on the SSD. Then reverse the process. I did read that things like memory are not accessible but the HMM also shows you how to remove a shield a small board and boom there is the single 4GB memory card. You can put in an 8GB memory card but I didn't since the SSD gives you tremendous speed improvement that the memory upgrade will only give you slight improvement. Now the link to the 90 page Maintenance & Service Guide (I also saved it to my desktop): http://support.hp.com/us-en/search?q=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20maintenance%20and%20service%20guide&filter=&product=11084072&pname=HP%20Pavilion%20x360%20m1-u001dx%20(ENERGY%20STAR) If you are concerned, BBuy should be able to do it for you with your cloned SSD for a small fee. There are lots of videos of people doing this level of stuff on the smaller 2/1 laptops, tablets and cell phones that seemingly are not accessible.. I did watch one on ZIF connectors.

Play video games smoothly thanks to the AMD FreeSync technology of this thin HP micro-edge display.
There was no vga cable in the box. Should I go to best buy or hp?
I don't think HP provides a VGA cable with this unit, only the HDMI cable. You will have to purchase one. Of course an old VGA cable will work fine. If you can switch to HDMI it is much better and of course VGA is being phased out.

Take your music anywhere with this portable Sony wireless speaker. Lightweight and water-resistant, it has a 16-hour battery life, making it perfect for on-the-go listening all day. This Sony wireless speaker has Bluetooth connectivity with NFC One-touch, and it can also link to a second speaker for stereo sound.
We have a 2007 Insignia Flat Screen TV. How do we know if it is Bluetooth compatible? We have Xfinity as our cable provider.
In 2007 it is probably not Bluetooth. It won't have anything to do with your cable provider. To see if the TV happens to be Bluetooth compatible I would try this. Select Menu or Settings. Look for something like 'Add Accessory' or pair with Bluetooth Device.. You might also look for Audio settings but that is less likely. Now your TV probably does have an Audio Out Jack of the 3.5mm variety. The speaker also has a little Audio In jack. You would need a cable like this one https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-audio-cable-black/4370001.p?skuId=4370001 from Best Buy. Simply plug in to both the TV and speaker and you are good to go. Now if you don't have the 3.5mm jack on your TV you probably have Audio Out on RCA jacks, in that case get this cable to connect: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-6-3-5mm-mini-to-rca-stereo-audio-cable-black/4408001.p?skuId=4408001

Will Google Hello do a better job in regards to lag (delay) and motion detection? I had another video doorbell (rhimes with Ding) which could not adequately connect to the wifi, terrable lag, poor motion detection (false alarms and missed live ones).
Delay is a second or so on the NEST HELLO. I know because as I tested it, I could hear my wife talk inside and then hear her voice outside; and vice-versa. So it is not what I'd consider a problem.
