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.
Insignia™ Flex Tablet: Get work done and stay entertained wherever you go with this Flex tablet. You can navigate features using the 11.6" touch screen, which offers a realistic 1920 x 1080 picture, or connect the included hinged keyboard for use as a laptop. Plus, snap photos and video chat with loved ones using the 5.0MP rear-facing and 2.0MP front-facing cameras.

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.

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.

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.
Pair this Microsoft Designer 7N5-00001 mouse with your compatible laptop or tablet using Bluetooth 4.0 technology and enjoy efficient tracking on most surfaces. The plug-and-play design simplifies setup, so you can work where you're most comfortable.
I bought this for my HP Spectre x360 because it looked sleek to match. This mouse is flat and will not contour to your palm like other bluetooth mice I own. I have one bluetooth mouse per laptop and this one is unique. At least this one will fit in your pocket on the go without any bulges showing.

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

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.
What's great about it: Price, ease of installation

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.
Snap frame-worthy photos with this circular polarizer that is compatible with most digital cameras with a 72mm lens and removes reflections from nonmetallic surfaces such as glass and water.

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.

Great Phone
ByRobman
I know this works great with T Mobile. Band 12 works after an update, unlocked, no bloat wear, fast, bambo is cool, SD memory expansion, plus 64 GB is a lot of memory, comes with a turbo charger. I like this phone a lot. Highly recommend if you want an android phone.

Doesn't allow you to add an SSD drive
Byjasonj566
I purchased and returned the new Alienware 13 R2 OLED laptop from Best Buy. I bought it with the anticipation of putting in a fast SSD drive, since it comes with a slow 500gb regular hard drive. I took it apart and Alienware does not have any other ports for an SSD. This makes no sense, I wanted to put a Samsung SSD 950 PRO NVMe 512GB SSD in the laptop. Save yourself the time and not buy one, I ended up just ordering the highest end off Alienware' s website.

One star because you can't place another drive?

Just replace the original HDD with an SSD. Most laptops don't have a second bay for another drive except the 17" ones like some models from HP.

Nothing wrong with OEM version. It has the full functionality of the retail version and is much cheaper. You can only install this on one computer just like the retail version. The only downside is there's no tech support from MS. MS Windows 10 rarely crashes.
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens: Get sharp, clear photos with this Canon medium telephoto lens that delivers vibrant color and clarity with fast, quiet focusing. The 85mm focal length draws attention to your subject and transforms the background into a soft blur for professional-quality portraits and impeccably detailed close-up shots.
Nerd Alert* When stopped down to F1.8 there is a noticeable amount of aromatic aberrations of purple and green fringing. But for the price and the focal length this is a pretty awesome lens. Buy it if you want it!

It happens under certain lighting conditions and at larger apertures. Stopping it down or changing the camera angle will decrease it.

I found a deal as below.
"SAVE UP TO $150

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 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.
