Great Streaming Device

Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed to test a streaming device for installation at a vacation home which we only use 3-4 weeks a year, so that we can cancel the monthly satellite subscription. The Roku has pretty much everything you need without favoring one type of content (e.g. like a streaming device that's sold by a huge online retailer whose name is the same as a major South American river). Tons of free add-on apps and content, plus all of the major online streaming services. We love it!

Great All Around PC

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the third one of these I have bought. Good memory, SSD boot drive for fast startups, separate data drive, dual HDMI (although only Intel HD graphics), and an actual CD drive. It's not a serious gaming PC by any means, but for overall day-to-day use you can't beat it, especially if you can get it when it's on sale.

Bought this TV to put in our kitchen/dining room area. It's a good mid-level model of Smart TV. We have four other Samsung TV's of various sizes and ages, and this one performs similar to the others. You just really can't beat Samsung for consistent quality for a reasonable price.

Have always used the type covers with my Surface products. This is a little better than the keyboard for my original Surface, since the keys are spaced farther apart. Only complaint is that the touchpad is really sensitive, but not a big deal.

Expand computer storage capacity with this Samsung EVO hard drive. Its solid-state architecture ensures fast startup times, and the 500GB provides plenty of space for photos, documents and music. This Samsung EVO hard drive has a read speed of up to 550MB/sec. and 520MB/sec. write for fast access to files and rapid data transfers. Speeds are consistent, even under heavy workloads and multi-tasking allowing for a faster file transfer. Benefit from faster, more fluid communication with your host system. The Samsung 860 EVO is specially designed to enhance performance of mainstream PCs and laptops.
 

Hi, I need to replace my old external Hard Drive and I want to put it on this SSD. Can I purchase a Docking Station and use it just like an external SSD and access everything through USB port? A bit confused how it all works.

Yes, you can put it in an external enclosure and use it just like you would use a standard HDD as an external drive. The only issue would be lining up the data/power connectors on the SSD to those on the external enclosure, if you are trying to use a standard 3.5" HDD external enclosure. Best to get an external enclosure specifically made for 2.5" and/or SSD drives, then it should be no problem at all.

Control media playback, adjust the volume and answer and end calls on your Apple® iPod®, iPhone® or iPad® with these Apple EarPods™ MD827LL/A, which feature an in-line remote and mic for ease of use.
 

Can thisi be used on iphone 8?

Yes. If they are the EarPods with the Lightning connector, you can plug them in directly. If not, then you can use the Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter that is included wit the phone.

The NETGEAR AC1750 Smart WiFi 5 Router with external antennas delivers extremely fast WiFi. With AC1750 WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and high-powered external antennas, this router offers ultimate performance in wireless coverage for large homes with 12 or more wireless devices. It gets 3x faster access than similar 802.11n.
 

Does this model feature Beamforming technology? I noticed the model above and below list Beamforming+ in the features.

Yes, it does. But "Beamforming" is generally an overrated technical feature that you are likely to not see any real world benefit from.

Can this device pick up the signal from my at&t hotspot and then can I plug in my laptop thru an ether cable at the same time

No it can't connect to your hotspot. It can only connect to an internet connection through a modem.

Orbi RBK50 AC 3000 on this Best Buy website says it covers 4000 sq ft but 'Im seeing it say 5000 sq ft on other websites. Which is it?

Can't say from personal experience, since our house is only about 2700sf. But the layout of house makes WiFi coverage very difficult and I can tell you that we have better signal strength, speed, and coverage than we ever had before.

How does it work with a "metered service provider?

They will work fine, but just like any metered connection, it's all about your data caps and how much data and throughput you need, not the hardware that you are using to access the internet.

Enjoy HD programming with the Roku Streaming Stick. Plug it into any flat-screen television that has a built-in USB port to view streaming media. This device provides more than 4500 channels on demand and features more than 450,000 movies and TV episodes. Control the Roku Streaming Stick with the included remote or with your smartphone via the Roku Mobile App.
 

Can I stream with my cell internet, or do I HAVE TO have wifi?

You should be able to stream over your cell internet. During the Roku's setup, it searches for WiFi networks to connect to, and if you phone's hotspot is turned on and it's nearby, the Roku should pick it up. Whether the phone's WiFi signal will be strong enough to connect, and it's speed will be fast enough to support smooth video streaming will be a matter of trial and error.

what is the difference from Roku Premium + and this model ?

The Premiere+ is an actual STB. I has connections for HDMI, Ethernet, etc. The Streaming Stick is literally like a large flash drive that you plug directly into the TV's HDMI port. The only connector that it has is a micro-USB port for power. Operationally, they both work the same, but the Premiere+ supports 4K UHD and HDR, whereas the stick only supports up to 1080P resolution.
