Powerful Capabilities at Lower Price-Point
on May 19, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
The Vivobook 16” is an excellent laptop, especially at the relatively small price for its strong performance level. It is important to note that the Vivobook series computers come in a couple dozen configurations which will have various CPU’s, memory size and even different screens. This review is specifically for the Vivobook M1603QA-R712512. I’ll refer to its most key specifications in this review.
This model has an LED screen that is very bright but not as brilliant as the available OLED screen. However, the excellent configuration of this particular model provides exceptional capabilities that would suffice for many users including me.
The keyboard has a very solid feel and extra large characters which make it easy to find the keys for my older eyes. It is not a backlit keyboard, so if that is a must-have for you, then you may want a different Vivobook model.
The WiFi has the currently fastest speed and is the top of the line WiFi 6 - 802.11 ax. A few other key features to point out include the super-sized touchpad - great, outstanding speakers for such a small unit, a physical slide to close off the camera that a lot of folks now feel more comfortable with and the easy access for upgrades.
I mention the easy access point since some folks will want to move the SSD up from the 512GB and move the RAM up from 12GB to 16GB. The upgrades are simple with this computer as the bottom plate can be removed via 10 screws. A lot of users will want this done by ASUS or other support personnel. This device is one of a dwindling number of laptops that can be very easily upgraded by a user who is skilled in PC hardware installation.
This laptop uses integrated graphics versus discrete graphics. Intensive high end gaming would require discrete graphics processing which has its own Graphics Processing Unit with separate memory for its operations. The CPU is the AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS and is an excellent multi-thread processor that contains 8 Cores and 16 Threads. This is a very powerful processor at this price-point.
The overall performance of this computer can support mid-range games and also would easily support normal home computing needs for email, web surfing and the creation of spreadsheets, documents and presentations. I tried all these functions and the computer zipped through with flying colors. I also did a color generator test and was very pleased with the color production on this 16” screen which is a little bigger than the standard 15” laptop size – nice. Tip of the cap to the engineers at ASUS for designing a very powerful and functional lower cost machine.
A computer this strong at a low price-point is a real find. I would certainly recommend this for home, business and school use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Effective Air Cleaning and Super Quiet
on May 16, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This product has a very interesting design as the filter is part of the structure of the device and it is quite solid. The device also includes a washable fabric prefilter. This fabric functions both as a filter and as a nice decorative cover over the carbon/particle big filter. Overall, an ingenious design including the structure and the touch controls. There is also an excellent app for the Blueair filters. I have another larger Blueair, so I was able to just add this filter to the same app.
Controls are so intuitive you may not need to even look at the user manual which is also well done. The manual does show the parts of the system including a ‘noise/shield ring’ to reduce fan noise.
There is a sleep mode which can reduce the fan speed such that there is no perceptible noise. The only way to tell the fan is even moving is to place your hand above the unit to feel the breeze from the unit as it filters your air so quietly.
You also have manual controls on top of the unit which are touch controls - very nice, and they work great. One caution is to avoid touching the on/off button-area while changing fan speeds. You'll do this once I think and accidently turn the unit off. It is one small area that the engineers should look at, I'd suggest a double touch to turn the unit off would be a slight improvement.
I recommend using the devices WiFi capability and installing the Blueair app. Open the app and it will show you available devices, pick the picture matching your unit and the rest of the steps are guided by the app. You do need to have Bluetooth on as well. Sometime products require several times to get connected, but this unit did it in one step and quickly - tip of the cap to the programmers and engineers at Blueair.
Unlike cheaply made units, this one has the quiet fan speed which is very important if used in a bedroom. The entire unit is made of quality materials and the engineering is superb. I would highly recommend this unit for a bedroom or small living room.

Solid and High Tech Air Fryer
on April 19, 2023
Posted by: RalphHenry
This unit has moved the air fryer forward a few steps in terms of technology. It includes a WiFi connection ability as well as connectivity with Amazon Alexa. I did connect my house WiFi following the included instructions and this device was recognized immediately and the wireless connection was successful. The normal style wireless icon now appeared solid (no blinking) to indicate the connection was completed. I also installed the VeSync app on my Android phone. This app offers some control of the air fryer using your phone to tell the fryer what to do over the WiFi connection. This was nice but not very useful. You can just enter the commands more quickly on the Cosori Air Fryer touch screen. In fact there seems to be a weak point in that you can set a temperature and time on your phone, but you still need to hit start on the air fryer or nothing happens. So it has a safety value but not worth using.
I also added this air fryer to my 5th gen Echo Dot. The connection to Alexa was very quick and easy to do using the VeSync and Alexa apps. When you tell Alexa to cook on the air fryer for say 12 minutes at 350 degrees, the fryer starts cooking without the need to touch ‘start’ at the air fryer, so that is nice.
I really loved the preset frying programs which you access by just pushing a button on the bright touch screen, these are explained in the manual very clearly.
Although it is suggested to preheat, I found that it’s simple to just add a couple extra minutes cooking time. Also the very thorough little 25 page manual will provide tips on safety and ensuring complete cooking; so I do suggest reading the manual, it is very well done. An example is you can customize the presets and a handy chart is included to facilitate any customizations you wish.
Not to be overlooked is an included and outstanding recipe book (over 100 pages). It is printed on glossy paper and is fantastic. I’ve tried several recipes and all were delicious – kudos to Cosori for providing this book.
You will find that this fryer is very sturdy and has an external shell that does ‘not’ get hot with the exception of the vent area in the back - wonderful. It is suggested to keep the unit 5 inches from a wall, but I was more comfortable with 12 inches from the wall. Also the 2-part-basket is removed by pulling on the handle, but you will find it is expedient to hold one hand on a cool part of the unit as you pull the basket out since it takes some force to remove and insert the basket. A great feature is the button on the handle which drops the inner basket away from the outer basket-shell. Be sure to do this with the inner and outer baskets on a table (not in mid-air). There is a plastic slide used to cover the button so you don’t accidently press it.
The cooking of various foods was similar to other cookers based on a half dozen items I tried. However this unit was easier to use due to the technology and easier to clean. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic Device to Inspire Better Workouts
on October 26, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
The Whoop device is not a watch, and I didn’t want another watch. I wanted something that is 100% pointed toward helping me to improve my fitness. The sophisticated technology of this little wonder has provided me a fun and effective approach to improve my health. Simply stated, the focus is on tracking your Sleep, your Stress and finally your Recovery. My interest in the device is to improve my overall health. I finally joined a fitness club 10 months ago. I have improved, however my approach had little discipline. I don’t want a live fitness trainer, so I found this device. So far it is helping me to add more consistency and to achieve much better results – it helps motivate me to do more. This device combined with the Whoop App is a marvel. I am very happy with the progress that I am making and the help this device provides me in some magic way. It is helping me to not skip workout days and to do at least a little every day and more some days.
The device and the Whoop App are both very well designed. I installed the app on my cell phone and my phone found and paired to my Whoop 4.0 without a hitch. The app leads you through a setup to customize parameters for your Sleep time and Activities. I noticed the extensive array of sensors on the bottom of the device. I am an Electrical Engineer and the geek in me liked the fact there was not just a single little green dot for sensing. In fact, there are 5 LEDs and 4 photodiode sensors. There are sensors for heart rate, respiration rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate variability, and heart rate reserve. I did see studies and confirmed via experience the great accuracy of the Whoop device. Tip of the cap to the Whoop engineers. I did watch as I used a treadmill that the Activity Strain rose up as I increased pace and increased incline. My heart rate also went up. I noticed that the fitness club heartrate feedback matched the Whoop detected feedback – great.
The charger and watch are both waterproof. This is important so you can shower with the device or even shower with the device and the charger piggy-backed on it. Whoop engineers had a good idea to add capability to tap twice on the device or on the charger and an LED glows green so you know they are fully charged. The app also displays charge status. The design of the charger to slip over the device is genius I think so that you can charge the device while wearing it very easily. Here’s an important point: if you continue with your Whoop membership, when a new generation of Whoop hardware is released, you get it for free, that’s nice. The device also gets firmware updates loaded pretty quickly.
The user needs to take the time to look at all the capabilities of the device and to review your feedback every day. The Strain Coach will show you info to help you to not over or under exert. The Sleep Coach will provide feedback on how your sleep time is going and how much sleep you need. The deal is that sleep leads to recovery (which is also tracked) and recovery leads into your strain capability and optimizes your particular fitness approach. Be sure to let the app run in the background. If you close it, then it will need to sync data when you reopen the app instead of continuously, but it will catch up in any event. You’ll even get messages that Whoop is catching up on data which and it will, but it will take a few minutes.
I suggest to follow the recommendation to wear the device 24/7. It is very comfortable and I actually forgot I was wearing it. The Whoop engineers also hit the ergonomic design very well. The device is about 1” thick. Any more narrow or wider and I don’t think it would have been optimal. This design keeps the sensor arrays in contact and also spreads the pressure over a wider area without getting too large, so I think Whoop hit the sweet spot on size of the device/band. I wear it just above my wrist by about one inch. You can actually wear it on your upper arm if that is more convenient for you.
Activity type is identified magically by the Whoop device based on profiles that were developed for over 60 different exercises including just walking. Based on the sensor data, including how long you are working out; the device will calculate your Strain. This little device has a lot of smarts built in to help you. I have found that supplied knowledge of how productive a workout is, definitely leads to better workouts. It is really just that simple. Note you can also export data to your laptop for example and view an Excel spreadsheet including durations and other information. I use the data right in the app most of the time
Until I used this device my activities were sort of helter skelter and were not getting me to my goals. This device is not a toy but it is fun, and it is rich in technology both hardware and software. I attached a few actual screen shots from the app that helped me. Whoop also provides other coaching methods that you can take advantage of. This device offers many tips and charts that are important to help you improve. I highly recommend this little gem to help you focus your workouts and sleep time in a more efficient way.

Comfort & Great Surround Sound with Lots of Bass
on October 17, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
I certainly love these earbuds. Pairing was super quick to a desktop, then a laptop and also to my cell phone, and then I even paired to my TV. The bass sound is the best I have ever heard from wireless or even wired ear buds. I can’t say how it works exactly but the so-called spatial sound does work. Additional hardware and added processing is indeed needed to create this effect. It seems the audio is hitting your ears differently as you move your head; and gives a kind of surround sound experience. I loved it.
You can use the Soundcore Wellness app to track your heartbeat since these earbuds have technology to provide this info. This was useful when I go to the fitness club and want to see what happened during my work outs. It did reflect in general what I could see on some of the machines like a treadmill where I could see the heart rate live – so the earbud circuits do work. Phone calls had same clear sound.
Sometimes I just use the cell phone and sometimes I use a little MP3 player. In both cases the sound was fantastic. The earbuds stayed put when working out. I did not notice any discomfort even if I went 60-90 minutes sometimes. The design of the ‘earcup’ is nice and soft and fits just right in my ears.
I highly recommend these super technology and super sounding and comfortable earbuds.

Optimal Security System for My Installation
on October 15, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
Fourtify 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Security System is great for certain installations. The ‘Main’ camera is used to make your wireless connection to your router. The other three cameras are not wireless so you will run cables to those cameras. This is perfect for installations where you can use WiFi on the closest camera and need the other cameras to be wired to ensure very strong connectivity. I also took advantage of the wired connection to a central power point – great. For my installation, using this system was ideal so I now never lose connectivity.
I used these cameras in a situation that took advantage of the design points of this system and made my install very easy. Basically, I have a very large screen room in the back of my house. I located the ‘Main’ camera closest to the house. This camera connects via WiFi to my router inside the house. I placed the remaining three cameras at the other corners of my large screen room. It was easy to install the cables to these cameras.
Many of my own installations have trouble with WiFi cameras that are farther from my WiFi router. Since this system’s ‘Main’ camera (that is WiFi) can be installed closest to your WiFi router, the distance to the other cameras is not a factor since the signal goes over a directly connected wire to those other cameras. Another nice feature is an option to connect your ‘Main’ camera via an ethernet cable directly to your router which will ensure strong connectivity if your WiFi tends to be weaker. This is a very nice option, but I did not need to do this. Everything worked beautifully.
The ‘Main’ camera houses an SD card that holds your recordings, this provides a free recording capability. The SD card is well protected and does require a screwdriver to open the water-tight panel it is housed in. The system comes with a pre-installed 64 GB SD card, but you can use up to a 256 GB card.
It was quick to pair the ‘Main’ camera to my router via the excellent Swann Security app. I have 3 different Swann systems and they all integrate nicely into the single app for display on my cell phone – very useful app design; tip of the cap to the folks at Swann for a great cell phone app..
Overall I do highly recommend this system which may be your answer too, since it ensures strong signal connectivity from your cameras that are a longer distance away. It fit my needs perfectly where other systems did not.

Versatile and Very Well Designed
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
I felt this machine at the price point is the absolute best value in the market place. I felt this way because the espresso produced was perfect in my estimation based on taste, aroma and body and was comparable to a shot from a commercial machine. Indeed the quality and solid feel of this device was similar to commercial machines but on a smaller scale. It also includes a nice storage area on top next to the grinding unit.
There are 8 grind settings and you do need to figure out which setting with your particular beans works best to get that super fresh aroma and taste. The conical burr grinder does a very precise job. You’ll find a very useful dosing and tamping guide that does make tamping far easier – nice work from the engineers of this marvel. I found the grinding to not make a mess on my counter – great.
The milk steamer worked perfectly for me. I have had 3 previous espresso machines and they all came with the milk steamer, but this unit seemed to make the foam more creamy. I do use 1% milk or 2% milk and both worked fine.
This is a 15 Bar machine which is typical and required to get the right production of a nice brew. The filter basket was simple to clean.
The controls are intuitive. If you are familiar with espresso machines, you should encounter no problems, but read the guide so you can understand capacities, the dual spout output, cleaning and the overall capabilities of this unit. You can make espresso, cappuccino, lattes and Americanos (coffee with a stronger more robust flavor and with more caffeine).
I found a dishwasher will take care of cleaning many of the unit’s parts quite easily. I highly recommend this versatile, powerful, beautiful, solid and fun to use espresso machine.

Highest Technology in a Perfect Package
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
This is by far the most wonderful camera for content creators and Youtubers that I have seen and is within a reasonable budget level for amateurs like myself. It is simple to operate in the Auto Mode and affords you manual controls for the real artists. The sensor is terrific and provides 4K HD capability. You can record slow motion and you can adjust frames per second from 11 to 120. Nikon lists all the specs for those interested in more of those details
I used a 32 GB SD card, however I would recommend a 128 GB with in the area of 280 mb/s Read and a 250 mb/s Write. This camera deserves the latest SD technology to ensure it performs to specifications.
I also used an onboard stereo microphone and a remote plus a nice tripod. You will want to get these optional accessories to utilize the full and amazing power of this camera. Nikon does include these in a beautiful Creator’s Accessories kit for the Z30 – wonderful.
This is not at all like a cell phone camera. If you are into more professional videos, this is a very light and small camera which will do everything most artists would need. I found its small size helpful for portability including on an airplane. Nice to keep it with me and not have to check a larger camera.
The 3 inch touchscreen is very handy and large enough to be useful but small enough not to get in the way of handling the camera at all angles. There are so many great features that the included User Manual Sheet may not be enough for a lot of serious photographers. However the good news is Nikon provides a superb Reference Guide that you can download or view online. I put a desktop shortcut on my computer so I can easily get to the Reference Guide. The document is 616 pages but no worries; there is a very complete table of contents and even an index at the end. Take advantage of your computer to find any topic and help you need in a few seconds – tip of the cap to Nikon engineers and publications department for this valuable document. Also another tip of the cap for the engineers who designed this technology rich camera.
With Time Lapse, Auto Focus, Live Webcam and Self-portrait mode to name some of the capabilities you have a veritable movie set in your hands. In case you are like me stepping up from a cell phone camera; don’t forget that with these types of cameras you push the shutter-release button half-way to focus and then fully to take the photograph.
I not only am taking better videos and photos, I’m having a lot of fun learning the camera and using the remote and stereo mic on the tripod. This camera really makes it easy to accomplish your project.
If all this isn’t enough to enjoy, you really should download the Snapbridge app. Nikon has a school online that you can link to for learning how to pair the app and also describes the many features. The pairing was simple and once the app is installed it will take you through the Bluetooth pairing. You can also establish a WiFi connection which you will need to show pictures from the camera in the app. It is not complicated. In general, Snapbridge gives you a way to show your camera images on your cell phone or tablet. This app can provide a remote shutter button. The app lets you control many camera settings from your cell phone. Snapbridge can also tell you if firmware updates are available since it does know your camera model.
Nikon hit the target with this small but capable device which has superior technology in a small Mirrorless camera. A Nikkor z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 Vibration Reduction lens (minimize camera shake) is included. My old Nikkor lenses do not fit this camera but there is an adaptor available. This camera is fun to use but is not a toy. I highly recommend this fabulous camera.

Perfect to Charge Two Phones at Once
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
This little device filled the need to charge two phones at once. Installed this charger on an air vent in the car.
Then next I could charge an iPhone attached to the device magnetically - which is most of the time for me.
Also it held the iPhone in perfect view for maps and directions and for taking calls. This device also has a USB connector on its car 12 volt plug.
I utilized the USB connector to charge a second phone or other device at the same time.
It should be noted that this device will charge a magnetically attached iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone Mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Mini with the MagSafe cases.
I did see that if I charged my iPhone just directly with a USB cable, it charged a little faster than with this device, but I have found this charger to be much more convenient since it can be easily used in the car all the time.
Be sure you place the center of your iPhone onto the round circular demarcation on this charger.
What is helping me a lot is that I can charge my watch, another phone for another family member or even earbuds a the same time because of the extra USB port. I highly recommend this very useful device.

Rugged and Fun Hoverboard
on October 4, 2022
Posted by: RalphHenry
First of all this hoverboard is well made and rugged. There are 160 watt motors at each wheel and the weight is on both ends mostly (so you have a 320 watt device). The 3 mile range is very nice and there is a battery icon so you can see when it is getting low. It can go up to 7 mph, but at first it was best to go at a lower speed. The first time riding it is advised to have one foot on the ground, one foot on the hoverboard and one hand on a tree or wall. Once you put your other foot on, you will see that the hoverboard is self-balancing but you will need to gain a little experience so that when you get on you intuitively learn to adjust your weight to operate the device properly, including just standing still.
I recommend helmet, knee pads and elbow pads as a minimum for safety in case you fall off. It is also wise to add wrist guards and gloves. Although you may fall at first, you may be surprised how quickly your brain and body figure out how to balance, make turns, back up and of course go forward. These hoverboards are fun and they sure beat walking. This hoverboard works best on sidewalks, driveways and hard surface floors. You can operate on compacted dirt paths or very short grass that makes for a firmer lawn. The sidewalks and driveways were easier. I’d stay off gravel driveways, it was too difficult. Just use paved or concrete driveways and sidewalks. Although there are headlights, there are no reflectors so I’d think riding in daylight is safer and more appropriate.
It's a good idea to read the user guide. There are a lot of safety points and also some things to avoid like riding through puddles. Pay attention especially to guidance such as ‘ step on board only if the Running Indicator is green; don’t step on the board if the Running Indicator is red’. There is a lot of great info in the manual.
It comes with a charger and a very nice charging port. It does have a 36 volt lithium-ion battery – very nice. There are wheel LED lights and LED headlights which look very sharp to observers. Although it can be used mostly for fun, its solid construction and functionality make it more than just a toy. I do highly recommend this fun and well-built hoverboard.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Took it back
By kenn
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.

Great Product at First
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.

CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH SYNCING
By loyalcustomer from Davenport, FL
little support from Fitbit regarding syncing problems as module appears to be not always functioning during sync. No real solutions received that are workable. Long time getting responses from Fitbit.
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?

Highest Quality and Top Features
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
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.

Good 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.

Good Computer BUT
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.

Worst 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!
I took my computer into Best Buy and paid $150 and they said that they could not find any problem. I will be returning this computer.
DO NOT BUY
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.

Terrific 2 in 1 Just Make 1 Change
By RalphHenry from Raleigh, NC
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.
