This is fast. And it's like carrying a hard drive in your pocket or purse. You can make it a bootable version of Windows or Linux. Makes document transfer easy between machines or systems. And if you can pick one up when it's on sale.....GRAB IT

Poor audio, didn't play computer written disks

I picked this up to use in a workshop, but it would never play any of my personal computer written audio disks. I returned it to Best Buy and purchased another make.

Steve Martin knows how to crack up an audience and did it with this album. Too bad you cannot see the visual comedy he did on stage.

I'm not an Apple guy, but I find this keyboard really great. The bluetooth function makes for no cable on the desktop to get in the way. My only complaint is getting used to the size of the keyboard. The keys are full sized but I seem to put my right hand one set of keys to the right of where they should be. Once I start using it and get positioned right, typing is easy.
What's great about it: size, portability, bluetooth connection
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a memory upgrade

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Expert
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Upgrader
I bought this memory to upgrade a Mac Mini. After the install, the video would scramble. Swapping the PNY chips with those in a laptop verified one chip was bad. Best Buy swapped the pair of PNY chips out, asking only what the problem was so they could be properly marked for return to PNY.
The new chips worked fine.
The new chips worked fine.
You can get a bad chip right out the box, but you would hope quality control would catch the bad ones before they leave the factory. Best Buy stood behind the product and replaced it immediately.
What's great about it: upgrade
What's not so great: first set of chips were bad
I would recommend this to a friend!

This mouse features a multitouch surface for easy scrolling through documents. Bluetooth technology provides wireless connectivity, so you don't have to worry about cable clutter in your workspace.

I was surprised with this mouse. Apple swipe features make it easy to use, but take time to learn.
What's great about it: easy to use, touch features
What's not so great: price, learning curve to really take advantage of all features
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use it in...:Large home
I use this unit to connect my satellite receiver with DVR, HDTV and Blu-ray DVD to the net. Quick and easy. Small size made it easy to place out of the way and bright indicators let me see I'm up and running without having to stand right next to the unit.
What's great about it: excellent buy
What's not so great: would prefer if it had a dark finish
I would recommend this to a friend!

What upgrade do I buy to add Alaska maps to an in-dash GPS?
It is a 2007 Lexux SUV with GPS built-in from the factory. Right now it only covers the continental US. I want to add maps for Anchorage, Alaska and vicinity.
You are going to need to check with your Lexus dealer. From experience, dealer installed upgrades, new maps or DVDs so you can update yourself are VERY expensive. Personally, I'll never buy another factory installed GPS again. There are plenty of stand alone GPSs that you can dash mount but update yourself for less cost. My Garmin 1390T has the continental US, Alaska and Canada which I can update quarterly.

European Maps preloaded
Do any of your GPS have preloaded maps of Europe. I need one that has the European Maps and US MAP already preloaded.
If memory serves me right, you can get European maps for Garmin and TomTom. Check their web sites.

Repair issues?
I have a Garmin nuvu 300/350, all at once on a trip it just lost its satellite. Have tried different ideas to et the satellite to return, have not succeeded, is it junk now?
My 1390T had an issue that required it be replaced. I contacted Garmin who exchanged it under warranty. If it is outside of Best Buy's exchange policy, contact Garmin direct. The phone number is available at their web site: www.garmin.com.

Which Gps system work for my benz c230 2007
Any portable GPS will work in any vehicle. It needs to be mounted in the windshield so it has a clear view of the sky and the GPS satellites.
