Small case

If you're going to order this case you better measure your gear first. This case was made for small cameras. Quality is great and there are storage for cards and battery. My camera didn't fit but I kept it anyways to place accessories.
What's great about it: Quality material
What's not so great: Small
I would recommend this to a friend!

This convertible laptop case can be used as a bag or a sleeve and holds most laptops with up to a 16" display. A removable, adjustable shoulder strap provides maximum comfort.

A plain case

Even though it's padded the padding is rather thin. There's no rigidity at all. It might protect your laptop from very minor bumps. The outer pocket is not too secured because the velcro has only two placemarks.. one at each edge and it doesn't really stick well together. I guess you get what paid for. I wouldn't even use it as a sleeve when I place it in my laptop backpack because it's too bulky. For transporting it'll be fine though. Power supply, extra battery and mouse will be a tight fit.
What's great about it: Price, material durability
What's not so great: flimpsy

The idea falls short.

I bought this item to place a screen protector for my camera's screen. It comes in different sizes but unfortunately not mines. I had to cut it to size but the paper tab that needed to be removed wouldn't come out cleanly and left residuals which was difficult to clean off. The plastic isn't clear but has a slight haze to it. I don't recommend this item. Too expensive for pieces fo plastic.
What's great about it: Different sizes
What's not so great: Difficult to install with the paper tab.

1 out of 5Battery life needs improvement
By Michelle
Extremely DISAPPOINTED!! At the start of my Half Marathon the battery was fully charged at 100%, Battery life didn't even last 2 hours before it died and shut down. I was running the GPS, MP3 player, & my Bluetooth headset all at the same time. I specifically purchased this to be used primarily for Half and Marathon races for tracking. can you imagine my surprise when it died despite the Samsung rep telling me it would run for 10 hours before needing to be recharged. Since I was within the return policy time limit I was able to return it for a full refund.

Sounds like you turned on all the extensive battery hogging features. Constant screen being on, GPS and music player will zap the small battery's juice.

1 out of 5Uniden branded version of $25 cam's
By picky
After having several $20 - $25 2.7" ebay dash cams I wanted something with better resolution; as all of those even saving files as 1920x1080 have low res camera sensors, and the video at 1920x108 was just the same as at lower resolutions. So I bought the Uniden CAM250 expecting something better. I didn't care about the tiny screen as I would use it after an event occurred using the memory card. When I first powered up the CAM250 it all looked very familiar - the exact same screens, menus and sounds from the $25 ebay units. I did runs with side by side comparison to the cheap ones and no improvement at all in the video quality. This is just the same as the cheapo ebay ones but with a Uniden case. The CAM250 was worse in that it shut down in a few seconds after power was removed; the ebay ones last 2-3 minutes. The only 2 good points about the CAM250 from Best Buy was the audio was slightly louder than the $25 ebay ones and Best Buy gave me a refund the next day when I returned it.

1 out of 5Huge disappointment at the store
By GemPro
When I went to pick up my order , it was $10 more than my confirmation indicated. They insisted they couldn't "see" the discount coupon on their computer. I couldn't get reception on my phone inside the store to show them my email. She had run my credit card and when I went to sign, I saw it was too much. She said the sale already went through. So I requested a return be done and I left the store upset and with no coffee. This was my first attempt to buy and pick up in store and I wi never do so again.

When you order online the price shouldn't change because technically you bought it already and needs a signature to confirm you picked it up.

1 out of 5Did not work
By debee
I returned this mouse within 24 hours. According to the product information on the blister pack it would work with my desktop computer. It did not. I researched on line for more information and found out that I did not have the required programs (bluetooth) to operate this mouse. This mouse apparently was designed for laptops, not older desktops.

3 out of 5Nice tablet but limited connectivity
By jambrose
from Knoxville,TN
The tablet itself is fast, very functional and has a great display.
My only complaint is that I wish the salesmen had told me that I could have purchased the model with a built in hot spot.
Then, I could have used it anywhere rather than relying on a strong wi fi single that is not always avaiable.

SIM
March 3, 2016
For models with SIM cards to use with cell phone carriers the price of the tablet would be expensive plus you have to purchase plans or pay as you go. The best way is to use your cell phone's hotspot and use it as a way of connecting wirelessly but then you might have limited data buckets on your plan (if any)

Apple bluetooth

I guess Apple's Bluetooth is different. I tried linking my Android phone's Bluetooth to an iPhone and it wouldn't connect. I heard some Bluetooth headphones are not compatible either.

4 out of 5Perfect Fit!
By cwhiz
from Ronkonkoma, NY
Saw these bags and first bought the taller and smaller one. My Nikon P900 just didn't fit it so I returned it and picked up this one. The bag has nicely made features and more importantly, holds my camera and other gear with ease.
It has an adjustable wide rubber sided shoulder strap and I brought it all the way in to use mostly as a carry handle. Unfortunately, this bag could have used a nice carry handle on it so I wouldn't have to re-adjust the strap for shoulder carry. Although, it would be something of an engineering feat to design one that would allow you to lift the bag without pulling the cover open with magnetic catches which work just fine. They do however, make it really easy to keep everything secure while walking around and going for the camera when needed.
The green and brown appointments look great and don't show any dirt or smudges. Al in all, a nice bag at at decent price but only got four stars due to the lack of a carry handle.

I found a deal as below. "SAVE UP TO $150 ON SELECT LENOVO COMPUTERS Plus, college students can save an additional $150" but I don't know how to get this deal with buying this laptop. Also, is the deal only for August?
You have to enroll with BB with an ".edu" email and they'll send you the student discounts. This email is what you use in school.

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 well is that graphics card?
How well can this laptop take games like Warcraft 3 or company of heroes, and Starcraft 3, also, how good is the graphics card compared to the Inspiron N5040?
This is a Pentium processor so it's not a powerful one to play extensive gaming and besides it only comes with 4gb RAM. You will be seeing lag while gaming.

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.

HDD replaceable
Can I install a solid state drive in place of the 500gb HDD, or is that not upgradeable like the Ram
Yes you can. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't like it's system cloned so you have to fresh install Windows 8.1 or 10 on the SSD drive.
