very clear and bright picture, lightweight and easy to setup. I hate to admit it, but it's durable too.
I know because I dropped it. It survived!

Definitely coffee. The french vanilla is subtle

A subtle taste of french vanilla. It mostly tastes like quality coffee.
Not a strong taste, but a good cup when you want something a little different than plain black coffee.

Very nice flavor, kind of makes you feel sophisticated drinking these.
Originally I was looking through the coffee collections when I saw this, and I almost overlooked it. It intrigued me enough to buy it.
I'm glad I did...

Sandisk apparently makes the most compatible USB Flash drive. I have many, I mean MANY other brands in my possession, and I have found that older devices such as Blu-Ray and game consoles do not recognize the other drives, only Sandisk.
With that in mind, I bought this 256GB monster when it came up as the deal of the day. As expected it works with my devices and now I have a TREMENDOUS amount of storage available to them. I previously was using a 32GB model, so this is leaps and bounds better.
Even though it's a USB 2.0, the performance is perfect for what I 'm using it for...

I have been waiting for this one to be on sale, and my luck it was the Deal of the Day!
FYI, the CD that comes with it lists the various OS' and Windows up to Windows 8, but going to brother-usa.com I was able to easily download the Windows 10 software which includes the scanner software as well as the printer driver.
Running the Windows 10 all-in-one setup was easy, one click and wait til done. The printer shows up, and a GREAT FEATURE is you can right-click on the printer and the submenu has "Scan", well, at least on Windows 10 I know it does.
The printer is much faster than any of my inkjet printers, and making copies is so easy it's basically your personal copier machine.
WiFi setup is easy so I was able to stick the printer in a corner of the house with an electrical outlet, no other wires or mess. Super clean and easy to setup.
Oh yeah and the reason why I waited for the Brother color laser is the toner is by far the least expensive. Roughly $50 or less...!

Really big for really small form factor

from Honolulu, HI
Fantastic price, as a deal of the day, I couldn't pass this up. This is the largest capacity small form factor external USB hard drive I have had so far.
My other ones were also purchased at BestBuy, the 2.5TB toshiba models.
Western Digital is a great brand, excellent performance, and plug and play no issues.
I am very happy with this little drive with the big space!

Supertuner IIID lives up to its name. It connects to stations with the best clarity of any head unit I have had so far. Sound quality is excellent, amazing bass boost and loudness levels. While most other units I have sampled have only on/off for loudness, this one has 4 levels low, mid, high, this give better control options...
One note if you have this unit, it does not display the iPod/iPhone source unless it detects it. This is a contrast with Kenwood which will show the USB Front as a source but when you select it it shows No Device Connected if the USB is not properly connected.

The item is not as pictured, it's BETTER

I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up my 256GB USB 3.0 super fast PNY flash drive. I own several of these, but the older models. They are fast, high capacity, and reliable. The older models are thicker like the one pictured, and I have no complaint about them.
I'm just saying the newer model is much more sleek, and operates a bit smoother. I don't know if they're faster than the older model, but speed wise it's super fast,. I love it.

These batteries are great! They last long, and come in a large pack so I have plenty of batteries when I need them.
Also, they keep their charge well too. You would think that having a box of batteries sitting around means they go dead at some point. Not the case. I love the quality...

I decided to save time and pick the VGA monitor cable up from the nearest BestBuy rather than drive home and get the one I have.
The price was low so I ended up saving money as well, on gas!

How close to the Wifi does the machine have to be??? My wifi router is upstairs and I want to use this printer downstairs in my office.
As long as your office does not have 18" concrete between the upstairs and downstairs, and the router is placed as high as possible and unobstructed, it should work.
If signal is too weak, the Netgear Powerline adapters or Zyxel work through brick walls through the power outlet lines. But I think it should not be needed if your computer downstairs can connect to the WiFi with a good signal.
If your computer downstairs in the office is hard wired to the network, I suggest hooking up the printer to the hard wire connection as well, if at all possible. Scanning works best when you have a good connection, and scanning over weak WiFi might be a problem...

When will we be able to have the pilot for windows 10?
I've upgraded to windows 10 but I've lost many options that I had with my windows 7.
I've looked in my installed programs list and there is no Brothers printers installed. On pilot upgraded there is nothing for windows 10.

How many songs will this hold and or videos?
Of course it varies, but in general, music files aka mp3 files are rougly 5MB each so based on 256GB that comes to 50,000 music files. Video files being 800MB ea is nearly 300 video files.

Store and manage your digital life locally with this Seagate Backup Plus Slim STDR1000100 hard drive, which lets you back up content from select social networks or media stored on select mobile devices. The slim design facilitates portability.
How do I fix my Backup Plus Slim portable Drive if it stops working?
Comment on computer says No Backups for 12 days. There was a message that said disc improperly ejected.
Best bet is make an ubuntu live cd or startup USB. I personally would use a 4GB or 8GB usb. I had to recover data from many hard drives as they fail and ubuntu lets you copy and retry without aborting the entire process, that way you can start copying, and the hard drive flakes on and off, you just have to keep retrying.

Can I use the Seagate on my Mac Air without an apple time machine and if I don't need the time machine can I do a complete backup without the drag ?
Do I have to have an apple time machine with this Seagate to back up my mac book air? And if I can just use the Seagate without the time machine can I set it to do a complete back up periodically without having to drag and drop?
The drive comes with a Seagate Backup utility which is better than drag and drop. It comes with both versions Windows and Mac.

Add room for more videos and apps on your mobile device with this PNY microSDHC memory card, which offers a spacious 128GB capacity for storing digital content. The durable design allows use in temperatures ranging from -13° to 185°.
Can you tell me more about the PNY 128GB memory card?
The description of the product says SDHC but the picture says SDXC. Can you tell me is this SDHC that I'm buying or is it SDXC. SDHC is what's compatible with my tablet
As long as your tablet says it supports sdxc cards, it should be fine. My Android phone shows 120GB after it's formatted. So YEAH it works!
