This is a very good headset, performs as expected, I love the fact that you can control the audio volume and other settings from the device itself, the speaker is easy to manipulate, it bends easily, it feels sturdy and not cheap, works great with Windows 10 I would buy again.

I have been trying this device for several days now and it has been running nicely, it's not a powerhouse but it runs a lot smoother and faster than many other tablets I have tried on this category, you do get a lot for the money.
I upgraded it to Windows 10 which really makes it shine as a tablet, the upgrade was easy, but make sure you have an external USB drive or pen drive with at least 9GB of space free that you can attach to the device while and when you attempt to do the upgrade, Windows will ask you for it as there's not enough space left on the device to perform the upgrade.
Once you are done with the upgrade you can recover space by right clicking on your C drive and selecting "Disk Clean up" then select "Clean System Files" scroll down and make appropriate selections on that pop up window so you can tell it to delete temporary upgrade files and the previous back up copy of Windows 8.1, now only do this when you are absolutely sure you wish to keep Windows 10, because once you delete those files you CANNOT go back to Windows 8.1.
This is a nice little tablet that also works as a laptop and it's awesome at both things.
Yes, it's true you do not get a free copy of Office with this but Office Mobile is free on the Windows 10 Store, go make a search for it "Office Mobile" you'll find Word, PowerPoint and Excel Mobile Free versions and they are excellent alternatives to the paid version.
Other than that I think this is a great purchase for anyone on a budget, I'm waiting for the Surface 4 but meanwhile wanted to get a Windows Tablet until the SF4 is here.

When you're on the go, listen to your favorite HD and FM radio stations using this portable player that features a belt clip for easy portability.

This is a really great little HD Radio actually, I’m amazed at how good it is tuning to all my local FM and HD Radio stations, it easily tunes to HD1, HD2 and HD3 you can also save any of those as favorites for quick tune up as well.
Audio quality is superb, sounds better than a CD for sure, I wish music streaming services would adopt this audio quality.
It also remembers the last station you were tuned into even if it was an HD2 or HD3, something other HD Radios won’t do, so that’s a plus for me, I personally bought it so I could tuned into HD stations while on my car since my new car does not come with HD Radio and I was missing that from my previous car,
It comes nicely packed with a belt clip, USB cable for charging and nice pair of earbuds, can’t ask for more for the price, I absolutely love it.
I would recommend it to anyone.

This is the best router I have ever owned, period, speed is crazy and very stable after the few last firmware upgrades, I have owned the router for almost a year so far and the more I use it the more I like it, really I have no complaints about this device.
At times both my parents and I have been streaming 1080p movies, while guests at home have been streaming Netflix and I was uploading another 1080p movie to YouTube, this little monster have managed to serve all that without a single hiccup, I do not regret the $200 plus I spent on this router, I got it the same day it came out and I'm very pleased, would recommend to anyone.

Gave this to my mom to listen to music while she works outside the house, she couldn't be happier with it, and not just my mom is enjoying it, my dad and I along with the rest of the family also enjoy putting it in the Florida room and jamming the full house with it, the sound is amazing, good fidelity also while playing CDs or while streaming music off Spotify or Pandora from our Smart phones, this has been a great buy for sure, hope it lasts many years.

This dual-bay docking station lets you add 2 SATA hard drives to your computer externally via USB connection for high-speed access to your data, media and more.

I love the looks of this external enclosure, it is very fast, connect it to the eSATA port and you'll have blazing speeds.
It looks great anywhere you place it, specially at night with it's nice blue light, I wish it would let you turn off only one of the drives, but it doesn't, you must turn them both on or off, but no biggie, I also wish it was USB 3.0 capable, but eSata is pretty good.
The device is extremely silent and I have experienced no compatibility issues at all, Windows 8.1 instantly recognized it and it appears just as another internal drive to Windows, I would buy another one in heart bit if needed.

This is an excellent external enclosure, transfers to and from it are super fast, and I'm not using it with USB3.0 yet, very easy to setup and get it ready for work, it even comes with small screw driver to make your job even easier.
My only complain is that it can easily get a little hot when under a lot of stress, other than that, I would buy again anytime.

Simply the best Portable HD Radio out there.

Posted by: EL305

This is the best HD Radio I have found so far, I have been waiting for it for quite some time, and I fell in love with it as soon as I took it out of the box, sure it doesn't look like a futuristic radio however the make quality is obvious right away.
For anyone expecting unrealistic sound out of this tiny radio at high volumes you might end up disappointed, the small speakers from this device are enough to fill out a small room at normal not ear popping level, however if you have a a set of computer speakers, an amp or any other type of external set of speakers you can simply hook it up to that ( I have it hooked up to my Logitech Z623 Speaker system) and boy then you'll come to find out the quality of sound that HD Radio along with a little device such as this can pull out!
The description says 10 presets, however you can save up to 20 stations as presets, The LCD Screen does not display album art or any type of media, but is good enough displaying Song Title, Artist, Station Name, and sometimes other info provided by the radio station such as web address etc.
One of the things that I love about this radio is that you can save sub-stations i.e.: HD2, HD3 etc. as favorites too, and if you were tuning to a sub station and turn off the radio when you turn it back on the radio will rightfully tune to the sub station you were listening to before being turned off, most HD radios I have seen will revert back to the main station in this situation, additionally most will not let you save sub stations.
You can also hook up an mp3 player, phone or any other audio device so as to play music, audio books etc. through this radio speakers.
I have only found two faults in this lovely little radio, first it doesn't have dedicated buttons to recall presets, so you must scroll through all of your favorites instead, I understand however, that they wanted to make this radio as compact as possible and adding 10 or 20 extra buttons for that wouldn't help with that :) and 2nd Not sure if this is a fault really as I'm not technically versed in how HD Radio works as of the date I'm writing this) is the fact that according to the HD Radio Alliance website there are 4 AM HD Radio stations in my area but this radio doesn't tune to those frequencies, I understand those are AM but they are HD too supposedly, can anyone enlighten me on this?
To make the story short: If you are looking for a great HD/FM Radio that works as advertised with all the bells and whistles minus great speakers, then look no more, this is the radio for you.
What's great about it: HD & FM Radio Antenna Sensitivity, Portability, Looks
What's not so great: No dedicated buttons to recall preset stations.

I use it in...:Large home
Ordered this router on Thursday June 7th off Amazon and got it Friday, so far I'm really impressed with the device, I'm getting exceptionally great network speed on big file transfers and excellent range compared to the WNDR3700.
I was debating whether to return the WNDR3700v3 I had and keep this one or the other way around, but as as soon as I set this up and upgraded to the latest firmware, I was dead sure which one to keep.
The router has been going for 3 days straight without a hitch and hopefully will stay this way, seems pretty stable to me, been streaming HD movies from my main PC to the living room TV and out of my WDTV Live Hub over the network to that TV as well which is over 40 feet away from the router with no buffering at all, amazing! No need to buy a network extender anymore, which had been among my future plans to increase Wi-Fi coverage in the house.
At some point today I was streaming Netflix on my bedroom TV and making a full system backup to Acronis Online backup service, while my dad was streaming another HD movie over the network off the main desktop PC, and my relative who is visiting us was using the Guest Network, al this activity simultaneously and all smoothly.
Access to my external 500GB hard drive through ReadyShare seems to be faster than ever, same as to streaming content from it, VERY happy with my purchase so far!
What's great about it: Speed, Range, Style
What's not so great: Price

This is a very good tuner, I receive all SiriusXM channels I'm subscribed to with very good quality and reliability in my Sony - Xplod CDX-GT700HD, I had a small problem at first where I could not receive channel 2, but disconnecting my car's battery and reconnecting it back reset the tuner and did the trick, I have experienced absolutely no problems at all since then, those people saying it doesn't work with Windows 7, I have no idea what they are talking about, I did program the tuner easily on my Windows 7 64bit computer without a single issue, I would recommend it to anyone.
PS: Be aware that you need to buy the right "Cable Brand" depending on the type of radio you have or it won't work.
What's great about it: Quality, Design
What's not so great: Nothing so far.

A huge waste of money as I normally have to use the cable and tv remotes to turn everything on, vs. this product which is supposed to do that. Works most of the time for volume and about 60% / 40% to turn on Netflix on the first try.

Learn how to configure it.
October 10, 2016
Before posting a review you should first understand that there is a learning curve with such an advanced piece of technology, if you still need to use your old remotes to control the TV and the cable box you are obviously doing something wrong, your Harmony is not programmed properly, please ask for support or pay a pro to do it for you, do not give a product a bad review just because you don't know how to use it.

Hi Andy,
there's a setting on the remote that locks it automatically after not being used for say 5, 10, 15 seconds etc, when you enable that the touch screen will be locked until you swipe your fingers from top to bottom or viceversa on it, try it, click on the tool icon on the top left of the screen, then go to settings then go to Remote, then Screen Lock/Time Out to enable this feature.

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

By Daniel
This is great for what it is, meaning it has 4k capabilities and HDR. The downfall is the HDCP 2.2 issue. The screen will turn purple and say HDCP unauthorized... the only way to get that to go away is if you pull out the HDMI cable and put it back in and or rest the roku through the settings. It's a HUGE pain!! Hopefully a software update will help but as of now regardless if you have an HDMI 2.2 cable, 4k TV with HDCP compliance and or HDR support you will have this issue. I will recommend this because it's better than not having anything because it's the only thing on the market that has streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon and VUDU with 4K and HDR CONTENT besides a TCL & Vizio TV. Let's be real though if your a fan of the latest and greatest TV you aren't looking at a TCL or Vizio TV even though Vizio stepped up their game they still are mid to low... I have a Samsung 65KS8000.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue, no matter what HDMI cables I use, even using a $100 Monster HDMI cable I'm still having this problem, hopefully they will fix this soon.
