These are really nice, comfortable, good sounding headphones. I paired them with a Android tablet and then wore them all afternoon. The bluetooth signal carried over all my 45 ft. house except for the corner of the bedroom that was behind three walls and a Internet Hotspot. The battery lasted over 5 hours and was still strong after this time. They are very comfortable to wear and the sound quality is ry good. The Quick Start Guide is almost unreadable. The printing is so small, I need a magnifying glass to read it.

Only at Best BuyCreating stunning presentations on this HP Spectre laptop. It has an Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM to power the latest Windows 10 applications, and its kickstand provides a stable surface, so you can draw or write with precision. The 360GB solid-state drive on this HP Spectre laptop enables quick startup.

CONSTRUCTION: Very Good - No squeaks or rattles and even the keyboard is substantial. The magnets are strong and hold the tablet and keyboard together well. It even has a nice backlit keyboard and a caps lock light. Included is the pen and a sleeve for the computer.
DOCUMENTATION: There is a very good 61 page User Guide available as a PDF at HP Help & support on the computer (HP Documentation). The User Guide says it has a fan and it is OK to fold the keyboard back against the Tablet. There is also a Safety Warning Notice that says not to place the computer directly on your lap or to obstruct Air Vents. Under normal use, the tablet only gets mildly warm on the upper back. But during Performance tests and heavy graphics use like some of my Flight Simulators or Asphalt 8, the upper back gets HOT. If you use it like a tablet and hold it at the bottom sides, they are not too hot, but the top back is too hot to hold under these conditions.
The pen works well on the screen and responds to pressure. I don’t normally use a pen, so I can’t comment on how well it works. The pamphlet that comes with the pen says that the buttons on the pen can be viewed by using the pen app, such as HP Pen Control. I could not find that App anywhere on the computer.
SPECS: 8GB RAM, 360GB SSD hard disk, 2,000 x 3,000 pixel IPS screen, Intel Core I7-7560U @ 2.40GHZ CPU. Weight - 2 lbs, 9 oz, (Tablet=1 lb,11 oz; Keyboard=13 oz)
PERFORMANCE: Overall, very good. It would run everything that I have used from the Microsoft store on all my other computers very well. YouTube videos showed very well (both pictures and sound) on the beautiful 2,000 x 3,000 pixel screen.
Passmark 9.0 Performance scores: Overall=3261.9, CPU Mark=5944.8, 2D Graphics=547.3, 3D Graphics=1859.1, Memory=2327.9, Disk Mark=7847.9. For a Laptop, these are very good scores
I like that it has a external charge light (White=charged, Orange=charging, Blinking white=Low Battery. And the charging transformer and cord are very long.
PROBLEMS: I could not get it to recognize a new 64GB SD card. But the card worked in
another Windows computer with a regular SD card slot.
OVERALL: When I first got this computer, I was not too impressed. I found the kickstand hard to put in position and a little sharp on my knees. The more I have used this computer, the better I like it. It has a great screen, a fast processor, and a very nice, backlit keyboard. Compare this total package for the price - I think you will like it.

Take your music anywhere with this portable Sony wireless speaker. Lightweight and water-resistant, it has a 16-hour battery life, making it perfect for on-the-go listening all day. This Sony wireless speaker has Bluetooth connectivity with NFC One-touch, and it can also link to a second speaker for stereo sound.

This is a very good small Bluetooth Speaker. The sound volume will fill a small room and the sound quality is very good. Lots of bass and clear high notes. I successfully paired and connected to two Android devices and three Apple devices. It is 3" round and 3 1/2" high. It weighs 8.6 oz. The manual says that it will last 5 hrs. at max volume and 16 hrs. at volume 10 (don't know what that means, but it lasted 14.5 hours at room filling volume) It recharged in 4 hrs. If you have two or them, they can be set up for 2 channel sound. My only slight complaint is the "stealth" markings. They can hardly be seen. Overall, a very good product.

I have been looking for a tablet to use for hiking and biking for some time. I have used several but they all fall short in the screen being visible in bright sunlight. This tablet is visible in full sunlight! In addition, it has a case that protects it from drops and scrapes. It is water and dust resistant to IP 67 specs and has a user replaceable battery. A little heavy but overall a great tablet.

This is one of the very few Android tablets bigger than 10.1”. My 76 year old eyes (even with glasses) need all the screen I can get to see well. When I saw this at my Best Buy, I had to try it. I have two older 13” tablets but they are too heavy and don’t work well. I have had this tablet for a week now, and am very pleased with it.
It is thin, not too heavy (1 lb, 10 oz), well made and easy to use. The screen is 1366 x 768 so it is HD, but barely so. It is wide-angle viewing IPS and nice and bright. It is 5 points. The memory is 1GB RAM and 16GB storage. I have 8.1GB free with my Apps downloaded. It has Android 5.1 (Lollipop), Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. The cameras are average (.3 MP front, 2.0 MP rear). It has a quad core MT processor running 600-1300 MHz that scores above average(Antutu 5.7.1=27,590, Quadrant Std.=12,275).
The documentation is poor (one small 4 page Quick Start Guide that only shows pictures of the controls, Safety, and Setting up). There is a icon on the tablet that will show you a 11 page PDF that will give you a little more information. The box references a Digiland web page that looks reasonable for support.
I calibrate all the Android tablets I get with Battery + and this one gets about 6 to 7 hours of battery life for most uses.
Sound from the internal speakers is not very loud and of poor quality (distortion). The Best Buy web page says this tablet will work with Adobe Flash. Not true - no tablets with the last few System updates work with Adobe Flash without work-arounds using other browsers.
With a OTG adapter, this tablet will work with a USB mouse, USB keyboard,and Flash drives. It will not work with my Portable USB Hard Drive. It works well with my MINISUIT Bluetooth keyboard. They are about the same length and look good together.
Overall, this is a nice working and handling tablet. If you need a tablet larger than 10.1” look at this one. It also has Multiple Users and a Screen shot icon.

This is an awesome tablet! I have always felt that a 8” tablet was the best overall considering weight and usability. And I have them from 4 to 12 inches. I have had this tablet for almost a month now, and can find nothing that I don’t like on it. I has a great screen, good battery, good sound, and is relatively fast (Antutu Score=25,745, Quadrant Std Edition=7,805, and Passmark=3774)
It has Bluetooth 4.0 and a great GPS chip (I got a first fix indoors in a minute). It has a very bright 1280 x 800 IPS 10 point screen. And it has dual front facing speakers that have Dolby and actually put out good quality music with adequate volume.
This is one of the very few Android devices that can actually move Apps from Internal memory to the external SD card. With 10 GB free in Internal memory, you should not need to do this, but it is capable.
This Lenovo is thin, light (12 oz.) and has a conventional front video conferencing camera, but a good 5 MP rear camera. Its battery life (Calibrated by Battery + is about 10 hours for most tasks.
This is the first Android device I have seen that has a “Quick Boot” setting that boots from off to the lock screen (If you use one) in 10 seconds. But it’s standby mode will last more than 10 days so I don’t even turn it off anymore.
Two gripes - Lenovo dropped the multiple users feature in the upgrade to Lollipop, and the on/off button and the volume rocker are reversed in position to most other tablets.
Still, this tablet is awesome!

I needed a monitor for the new Chromebox that I recently bought. I had a couple of older monitors that I thought I would use, but the hookup was too complicated and required the pressing of too many buttons. This monitor is perfect. All I have to do now is turn on the Chromebox. The monitor will wake up when it gets a signal from the Chromebox and go to sleep when I turn the Chromebox off. The screen is beautiful. Nice ability to change all the settings. Good reclining and not too heavy. Matte finish screen with two HDMI ports. And I bought it during a $50 off period.

I have a Yoga Tablet 8 (Android) that I like a lot so I thought that a Windows 10" version would work out fine for me. The tablet and keyboard should work fine for using Quicken 2015 and replace my five year old 23" touchsmart All-in-One for that purpose.
The tablet has a very good high resolution wide-angle viewing IPS screen that is very bright and responsive. The keyboard is magnetically attached and connects through Bluetooth. It connected fine for me, but many people have problems with keeping their Bluetooth keyboards connected. The magnets are strong, but you still have to be careful or the keyboard will fall off. Unlike a regular laptop, there is no support for the screen position. You have to flip out the stand to keep the screen supported. And the stand is harder to open than on my Yoga 8.
I have two portable USB powered drives - one 1 TB hard drive and a CD/DVD optical drive that I have used on all of my Chromebooks and most of my Android tablets. So I went about trying to install Quicken 2015 on the Yoga 2. The tablet would not recognize either device with a micro OTG adapter in the micro USB port. It would work with Flash Drives and a mouse and keyboard, but not the portable USB powered drives. I bought a "Y" adapter to supply USB power to the drives and got the Hard Drive to work but not the CD/DVD drive.
Most current Windows programs can be obtained over the Internet, but I still have a number of older programs on DVD's that I wanted to try on a newer computer. The inability to use a USB powered CD/DVD drive on a Windows computer was a deal breaker for me. I returned the Yoga 2.

How do switch between the 2 HDMI inputs?
Is there a button to switch between the inputs?
You don't have to switch unless you have two PC's hooked up to it and both are powered on. It accepts the first signal that reaches one of the HDMI connectors.
