Good for small DSLR camera
on June 17, 2014
Posted by: MaryAnne
from Cleveland, OH
It is really hard to find the perfect bag for DSLR equipment, especially for female users. This one comes close to what I was looking for. It has many extra little pockets for memory cards, batteries, even on the side a strap to slide a tripod in. I like the idea having a hidden pocket with an all weather cover, which I found later. I think even the sales associates don't even know about that.
I not really that big, might be too small for larger DSLR camera, but I have the Canon SL1, and it fits good with the 18-55 mm lens facing down. There is room on the side for my telephoto lens and even the 55mm fixed lens fits next to it.
It was on sale, so it will do the job until I the THE perfect bag some day.
What's great about it: has an all weather cover for rainy days
What's not so great: wished it came in other color
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was looking for an inexpensive set of these kind of radios for our emergency response team. We are never far away from each other, it for traffic control within a range of half a mile or so, and instead of yelling, this is much easier at professional. I wished they would come two separate charging stations, but I like the fact that the radios can be charged via mini USB in the car i.e. or on a laptop.
They feel sturdy, have a built-in flashlight, and the setup was very easy. But I have admit that this is not my first time working with these and other kind of radios. The range of course is never 35 miles as stated on the packing. Whoever believes that is dreaming.

I did not see the need to buy the original brand name battery as a backup, and this one does the same great job.
Can't go wrong, especially now that it is even on sale, I am going to get a price adjustment and will get another one. In the end I can have 3 of these for the price of one Canon battery and still have money left.

I took advantage of a great offer, purchasing this for half price when purchased with a camera on the same day. I am glad I did, taking just a few test pictures and I knew I made the right decision.
i.e. I zoomed through a screen window to the other side of my street towards my neighbor's license plate and was able to read the county number crisp and clear. Try that with a point and shoot or the 18-55mm lens that comes with my camera, and you know what I am talking about.

I am already hooked

Posted by: MaryAnne
from Cleveland, OH
I am now wondering why I waited so long and fooled around with these point and shoot cameras. This camera is so easy to set up and use, I did not even have to look in the manual. I took a few pictures indoors and they are so much better than any picture I have ever taken.
Pictures are crisp and clear, true to the color of the motive. I am hooked within a few hours of playing around with it.
I purchased a telephoto lens, which was on sale if a camera was purchased the same day, so I took advantage of that.

I have probably tried every electric indoor grill there is, always looked for THE perfect one. I believe I have finally found it. It is not too heavy, all parts who come in contact with food are removable and dishwasher safe. It has a SEAR function, and the temperatures dial goes to 400 degrees.
It looks and works like the big boys for outdoors.
I wished they would make the power cords a little longer, but all small appliances now come with cords in that same too short length.

needs some minor improvement
on March 10, 2014
Posted by: MaryAnne
from Cleveland, OH
Age:55-64
Gender:Female
I am using MyFitnessPal for quite some time, and heard that this device connects with MyFitnessPal. I wanted to know more about my activities, calories burned and my sleep pattern, so I have this one a shot.
Setting it up was extremely easy, it does NOT come with a manual, everything is online available these days. I connected right away with the iPhone app. Only thing I still don't understand, it chowed steps taken before I even started using it. But so what.
I clip it to my t-shirt of bra strap and it doe not bother me, it is actually much smaller than I thought. The wristband for the night is a total joke. The material is nice soft, but putting it on is a struggle, because you have to kind of hold it and close the Velcro at the same time, not easy if you have nobody to assist you. But I read the Q & A section on the website, and a lot of users suggest to put it on your ankle, which I will try tonight. The sleep tracker told me this morning that it took me 9 minutes to fall asleep, and that I slept 4 hours and 57 minutes, the details do not show much movement, so I must be a quiet sleeper.
I think the step counter is a little off, just by walking through the house this morning doing my daily chores shows I walked over 500 steps already, really? Well, maybe it is correct.
I like this little thing, it gives you a little insight about activities. I will set the alarm feature for tonight and see how the vibrating alarm works when I wear it on my ankle.

Fits my needs

from Cleveland, OH
I use it for:Photo printing
After having some serious problems with another brand I decided to give Epson a try. I don't print as much as I used to, but still photos sometimes. I had done my research on the Internet and this model caught my eye.
The setup was extremely easy, plug it in, put the cartridges in turn it on and install the software. If you don't have an optical drive, go to the Epson website and start from there. I connected through Ethernet. The Wi-Fi setup was the easiest I have ever experienced, no USB cable needed, just push a couple buttons, and it is right on.
My next step was installing it via Wi-Fi on my laptop, and even that was done with just a few clicks. I did not look at the manual once.
I am used to these extremely complicated setup procedures from the competition HP, this was a blast and a child can do it.
Print quality is much better than expected, photos in 4x6 came out great, the print speed isn't that great, but for a home printer good enough. Can't say anything about the ink yet, I have read ink goes down fast, well, ink cartridges are not too expensive, buy the combi pack or the XL and that should do it. I don't mind paying a little extra for ink if the printer otherwise is doing a good job.
The only feature I miss is an internal memory card reader.

Surprisingly Good
on February 19, 2014
Posted by: MaryAnne
from Cleveland, OH
I was looking into some other models, but since a new laptop is only as a backup for my existing desktop model, I did not want to spend too much money, s I decided to give this one a try. I have tried to avoid Windows 8 as long as possible, but I have to admit it is just so easy to set up and use. This model starts quickly and is ready to use within seconds. I never once looked into a manual or the support website. If you had other computers before and know the principles of Android and iOS you will just turn this laptop on and you are good to go. I removed several apps, added some others, setting up my email accounts was done in seconds. I customized the start screen and installed software that I use with Windows 7 on my desktop, no problems whatsoever. The laptop itself feels good, it is fairly light, and I like that fact that it has an optical drive, since I still use CDs and DVDs occasionally. If you need a laptop for every day use or as a backup for travelling or just working from your couch, this is good enough. If you are a major gamer, I don't know, but I am not, so it is the perfect inexpensive solution for me.
What's great about it: everything

Transfer over 1000 minutes at the store!
By disasterpastor from Geneva, NY
Nice employees in the phone section tried to transfer my minutes from my old Motorola C-139 Tracfone to this LG-840G via the Tracfone website, but there was a 1000 minute transfer limit and a loss of all remaining minutes because the old phone would be deactivated. I had 2700 minutes left, about $250 worth, so the very patient employee called Tracfone 3 times and was transferred a few times and finally got someone to transfer my minutes manually on the Tracfone side. This took about an hour! Then the 2nd BB employee tried to get my contact information from my old phone to the new one. He had to go primitive with his high tech to get that done, one step short of doing it manually. Tracfone added 3 months and 10 minutes to my service, so I assume I'll get triple minutes when I renew for a year this Spring, reports of 1400 more minutes floating about. I just got the 300 page manual (half that in English) from the LG website. There's a Service Manual that came with the phone but I can't find the .pdf for that, print is very small. I can't comment much on the phone yet, I'm clueless how to use it. Pictures indoors possible if there's no movement, hoping to find a barcode app. Can't find a case for it, but I had a compact camera that I bought a hard case for at BB and it has a little band in it to hold this phone perfectly. I've already sat on the case, so yeah, hard case!

you get what you pay for
January 5, 2013
You always get what you pay for, should have read reviews on the Internet before you bought this one.
HSN sold thousands, and there are hundreds of bad reviews on tha phone and its service capabilities.
Not every Android Phone is really a smartphone, although they call them that. If smartphones were $59, why would anyoneby iPhones, galaxy phones etc. for hundreds of $$?
Tracfone and NET10 offer basic service, nothing fancy for people who want basic service.
And when it comes to manuals, noobody gives you a manual anymore, it is all on the Internet, just type the model number in Google search, and you get it.

Description Misleading & Customer Service Poor
By KMSROXMUSIC from Clinton, TN
I am on my second machine and it also has to be returned as it is not running properly. The first machine had a bad network card so I exchanged it for the same machine. I give all things the benefit of the doubt and hoped I just had a bad egg in the basket with the first one.
The second one will not run in 64 bit mode even though it came pre installed with Windows 8.1 Everything runs in 32 bit mode. I have spoken with Toshiba and after nearly two hours they told me to reinstall which I did even though I hadn't even used the machine yet meaning the issue was present when removing from the box. It was a Christmas gift and I was awaiting the big screen monitor before setting it up so today is when everything came to my attention.
After doing the re install per Toshiba it still was only running in 32 bit mode even though it shows it is running Windows 8.1 64 bit Operating System. I was told to call back if the re install did not fix the issue. That was only one issue, I also had duplicate files on the machine, keep in mind the machine had not even been used nor was it an open box so where did the duplicate files come from?
I called Toshiba back and this time I was told that model was not even shipping with Windows 8.1 and I offered to take a photo of the box with the specs on it from Toshiba on the box showing where it reads Windows 8.1 and after I did the re install it did install Windows 8.1 going off my serial number. I was then told they could send me to tier two support but it would be $69 and I was not about to pay for something that I had already gotten the run around from customer service and tech support which neither department knew what the issue could be and denied they were even shipping Windows 8.1 on that model even to this current day.
I was also informed the reason my network card was not connecting to my 5GHz band router (it is a dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz) is because the card is only capable of connecting to the 2.4GHz which leads to the product description misleading. The tech had me go to a place on Toshiba's website and type in my serial number and part number which brought up a whole set of specifications which are not even close to what Best Buy has on the site. The network card being one that is a major factor for me given this is a business and I need it to run on the 5GHz to keep the slower devices from causing a bottle neck between the dual band. If you buy it thinking YAY WIDI, forget that, because that is not the card that is actually in the machine.
I spent all day today, ran my battery out on my phones talking to Toshiba and Best Buy with everyone blaming everyone else. Then I was told to call Microsoft to see if they could figure out why it is running in 32 bit mode even though it clearly has Windows 8.1 installed at 64 bit. I tested by installing Skype 64 bit that I downloaded and it showed up as 32 bit and not 64 bit. Nobody has any answers and customer service is playing the blame game at every turn.
I have not called Microsoft yet as I was waiting for my phones to charge and I needed a break from all the frustration of the blame game and run around from Toshiba and Best Buy. I can take the machine back and get another one but 2 for 2 being bad and customer service being bad do I really want to get another one of these machines? At this point no I do not and from all the reviews of the other machines (Windows 8 or 8.1 with touch screen) it seems they ALL have a lot of issues.
I am at expert level in computer knowledge, all operating systems, networking, programming, hardware and a internet pioneer. In other words I am an old timer therefore I typically use Unix/Linux/Mac but needed a good solid laptop to take on location that wouldn't be as devastating or costly if something were to happen to it on a photo shoot. Where I stand $799 versus my $3500 Macbook Pro's I think I'd rather lose $799 however if the machine does not work to begin with the cost really does not matter.
Buyer beware, read all the reviews and read them on other sites, and I did do that myself yet I still ended up with 2 bad machine's. So all I can say is roll the dice and see what you get.

Average computer for expensive price tag
By inder32 from Norcross, GA
Well this is not for some one who value their every hard dollar worth . Average computer but i bought it because i wanted 1080 p at this screen size , touch screen have nothing to do with laptop its worthless at this size because you are not going to use touch screen at all to smear your screen with your finger oil . Battery is uninstall able from outside ,no recovery media is shipped with it you have to make your own then you need to test it when in crisis which i have not tested. But i needed something of this size with this resolution with dvd driver . So not much choices out there . So please dig market more to buy this expensive gadget because i am sure its losing its value $200 value soon . Its not worth of paying $826 ( price plus taxes ) go for apple other wise because window 8 is not worth for that much money . I even installed classic shell . Sound is good and loud if you want to watch Netflix ,but pic quality is blurry and you need to keep changing screen resolution as Netflix is only 720 p compatible much more clear and brighter on my smart sony tv .

I abhor this computer.
By Royan from Los Angeles
I gave away an Asus b4ecause the cursor and finger pad were seriously inferior. This one is even worse. I can play a tune on every centimeter of the finger pad while pointing to the red X and without closing the page. Smooth scrolling is impossible. Moving the cursor is a definite maybe - maybe it moved and maybe it didn't .
In am effort to make the machine compact, Toshiba has packed the keyboard so tightly that I cannot type at speed, at all, without hitting additional keys. Toshiba will soon hear from me. Royan Herman

Every computer I buy - and I had quite a few - first thing is to remove all bloatware. Over time I pretty much know what I don't want and need, and it's gone before I connect to the Internet, my hotspot or even my network. Once it is all clean and looks the way I want it, then I install my software. Using something like CCleaner might be very helpful.

what do computer connectivity mean? Also if it does not come with a memory card do I have to buy one to take pictures?

connect the camera to your computer via provided software and transfer your photos to the computer, which I don't do, I take the SD card out and plug it in the computer.
And yes, you need to buy a SD card, the camera has no internal memory.

Feeding Envelopes

I print a lot of #10 envelopes. Do you need to feed them into the back one at a time, or can you put a stack of them in to autofeed. Thanks. John.
it is recommended to use the back feeder, but you can use one of the trays. You really need to make sure your envelopes are nice and flat, otherwise they might be hard to go through. But it is challenging for all printers.

About memory

Hi,

I've seen that the memory can be expanded to (max) 16 GB, so if I buy from your store/website, can you help me upgrade it?
if you don't have two left hands you can do that yourself, takes 5 minutes.

Downloading to computer

Is this camera plug and play so I can just take the sd card out and put into computer and watch video or save on to computer to burn to home movies on dvd? If so, what systems is it compatibly with? This is what I want it for. I have an older video camera that works fine but it is a pain to save to computer and create home dvds.
yes, you can either plug the SD card directly in your computer or connect the camcorder and use the software that comes with the camcorder.
I use Windows 7 64 bit, I don't know if it works with older Windows version, but certainly with Windows 8
