Just got this laptop and it's surprisingly nice. The screen is big and bright and the fit and finish is excellent. The speaker is loud. The best part is it's a x360 laptop. It's lighter than a HP 17" laptop I've gotten before and lighter than the Envy 17". I got this when it went on sale and it's a great bargain. The negatives so far are the ports... one USB2 and one USB3 port. You would think for a big laptop would have more ports. On the really positive side is that you can swap the internals such as the HDD, RAM and the Wifi card and it's not difficult to open.

Surprisingly good tablet
on June 9, 2016
Posted by: kanehi
from Honolulu, HI
After reading all the reviews both and negative I went ahead and got one. I have three other tablets (HP/Dell/Asus) running Windows and this one is the fastest by far. Love the included keyboard and it's responsive. I bought a 64gb microSD card to alleviate the storage problem as I re-directed where the programs I loaded will reside (to the microSD card) and where the files will go too. Having an 8" and 10.1" tablet this 11.6" is much better on the eyes and touching the screen is much improved due to it's larger screen.

Great bag...

from Honolulu, HI
I was looking for a replacement camera bag for my Nikon P900 and this one fits perfectly. It's deeper than my previous bag (Lowepro) so now I can place my wallet inside also. The material exudes quality and is made well. The strap has metal clasps instead of plastic plus it free rotating. There's a zippered meshed compartment inside the top cover which I can place extra batteries and memory cards, a slotted compartment in the rear and zippered compartment in the front. I wished the font compartment could open halfway instead of only a third. Case is well padded. This will also do well as a carry-all bag for travel and not just for cameras and it's neutral looking that a guy or gal can use it.

Best all around lens for APS-C Canon camera

Got this lens for the Canon 70D and it's worth every penny. It's a bit hefty and the built quality shows. Focusing is fast and quiet. The pictures are tact sharp. I highly recommend this lens for everyday picture taking from wide to semi tele range.

Nice little 2 in 1

First time I bought a Toshiba and the first impression wasn't good. The first one I got had a red hot pixel and I was debating to return it or get a replacement, I got a replacement and so far so good. I choose the Pentium instead of the Celeron for it's faster speed. It's now upgrading to Windows 10 so I'll add programs after completion. This 2 in 1 will be used for travel, internet and storing pictures/videos. This notebook is solidly built with no flexing of the lid or keyboard. There are no gaps where the top and bottom meet. Affordable and light weight, what else can you ask for, got this on sale for $329

Great addition to your desktop

Posted by: kanehi
from Honolulu, HI
After my son's desktop PCI wireless card died I had to find a replacement. BestBuy had this item for cheap and though I had to wait for it to be delivered and picked up at the store it was worth the wait. Installation was a breeze and Windows 8.1 Pro automatically installed the drivers. I do recommend downloading the Sabrent program in which you can tweak the card further. It came with a mini-cd installation disc but I prefer downloading updated programs directly from the manufacturer.

Great deal from BB
on July 4, 2014
Posted by: kanehi
from Honolulu, HI
BB has this item with the same pricing from Amazon. I couldn't wait for delivery so I ordered it online and picked it up in the store. I bought two of these separately, one to replace a laptop OS with Windows 8.1 Pro but I kept the original Windows 7 for backup purposes. The other SSD was a replacement for a desktop because the HDD was failing and that one still had Windows Vista in it. Both Windows 8.1 Pro SSD installation loaded without a hitch. Compared to regular a HDD it really does load much faster averaging 15-20 seconds. I could've bought the Samsung Evo Pro version which is supposedly faster and costs more but this one suffices. If you are heavily onto photo, music or video manipulation I would recommend the Pro version. I also own a Plextor and Crucial SSD and the older Samsung 830 series SSDs on my other laptops (I have a total of 7 laptops) and I also use a Seagate hybrid drive because of the larger capacity and much cheaper than a true SSD. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. The system runs cooler, faster, and adds a bit more battery life on the laptops, around 20 minutes. The prices of SSDs are dropping and are becoming more affordable and with BB prices it can't be beat. Don't be fooled when the laptop's fan comes on often because it's mainly cooling the CPU and not necessarily the SSD.

Good addition to your photographic needs

Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this polarizer and I noticed the coating has some streak aberration. I attempted to clean the glass really well but it's still there. I've own more expensive glass and you do get what you paid for. The aberration doesn't show up in the final image thankfully. Also the polarizing effect is weak meaning it doesn't really darken a sky compared to a more expensive one.

Not a serious tool
By LimoClark from Winston Salem NC
Very disappointed with my purchase of this device. If it was priced at about $300 (with everything) it would be a cool toy but this device is not a serious instrument. Web browsing is hit and miss, if the site has flash content (lots do) the ipad will not play it, not load it and not show it. Pitiful. All of google's free services such as google documents, you can view, but you cannot edit. Can't download music from competitive web sites such as walmart because it uses flash. Even if you do have the 3G and are paying for unlimited use... it will not allow you to download content such as purchased movies and tv shows.. you get a message saying download using wifi. The device comes with ipod software... however it will not work using ipod hook up in car etc... I have limos with ipod connections... not compatable. Just basic things you expect in a device this costly it just does not have. It's a toy, worth about $300 with everything. I bought 2 , returned 1 in time, 1 not in time. Huge disappointment. Just buy a laptop and an extra battery instead. You'll be happier and more productive.

Bass
June 12, 2011
According to specs it's a hint that there's hardly any bass (105Hz - 20kHz). For better bass the ideal spec is 20Hz - 20kHz. The lower the first number the more bass you'll hear.

Good price, good product, what more do you want?
By roguebuyer from Pittsburgh
I bought this card for a Nikon Coolpix S100 for my daughter, after looking around and seeing it was the best price I could find on a memory card that I could pick up in-store (yes, I needed it pronto!). I have used SanDisk memory cards before and never had any problem with them. Plus, this is one of the memory cards recommended by Nikon (Toshiba, Panasonic and Lexar being the others, which were either more expensive or not available for pickup). And so far, so good!

So Good, Even I Can Use It!
By michgirl53 from Michigan
After much hesitancy and doubt due to size and age of this lens, I ordered it from Best Buy when they had an even lower price. Received it yesterday, took it out and immediately began taking test shots in our back yard with my 5D II. WOW! I was handholding it and got some very sharp images for my first attempts. The detail this lens picks up is absolutley amazing. The weight is easier to handle than I thought it would be, and the push-pull zoom is very intuitive and was easy to catch on from the start. So glad I got this lens and look forward to getting some fabulous shots with it.

I purchased this item because it has two plug in spaces for electrical outlets and the kids wanted to watch tv on our road trip. I am pretty sure its used in vehicles because it had a cigarette light end on it.
The kids did not get to watch a whole movie when it blew my fuse in my vehicle. $70...down the drain.

When it worked, it seemed to be OK. But I couldn't really give it a good test because it JUST WOULDN'T WORK. It took me 3 days just to get the Windows updates to install. And then it was OK (for the most part. A few refresh/repair hiccups) and then after about a week it had some kind of complete meltdown and would only log into a 'temporary' profile. After talking with ASUS I had to send it to the factory since restoring it to factory settings no less than 3 times didn't help. At my expense. Where it's been for over a week. I should have stuck with HP. At least they wait for like 2 years before they give me problems. School starts in 4 days. And I don't have a computer. Wonderful.

BE AWARE of the Quality issue
By mvp8 from International Buyer
I am an international consumer , ordered this unit online,had my relative in the states picked it up and brought it back to me. It was factory sealed when I received it, after I opened the box, I was impressed by the good looking glass finish. However, when I lifted the screen up, I was shocked to see some kind of mark at upper left corner of the screen, I thought it was removable, might be just some dust; I tried to wipe the screen, but no luck. Then I realized it was the glue that used to combine the touch screen with the LCD screen, so the mark is actually in between the two screens!!!! Normally, the glue should be covered by the black frame and invisible, somehow ASUS put too much glue and it leaked out of the frame!!! This is really an obvious flaw which is visible to any normal people!!!!(Check the photo I upload.) I just can't believe ASUS QC department let this kind of defects to come out of their production plant. I didn't even touch the power button, all other things like performance, battery life etc would not matter to me anymore.I put it back to the box, end of my first and last story with ASUS.

What to buy

what is a great wireless printer for a future college student ?
Any printer with wifi or Bluetooth option should be good to go. The big question is how much the inks will cost in the long run. If you do print a lot of color or black/white a laser printer would be much cheaper in the long run.

How long does it take to charge the battery, before it turns on?

I have been charging it for quite a while now, and all I see is the red light indicating battery charging. I don't see the light for the on off or for the wireless.
It takes 2-3 hrs to charge the battery and it does charge while in use. No light for the wireless but you can see the icon on the desktop if it's active. And this laptop doesn't have backlighting.
