Great price, pretty good value!

Since it isn't necessary to have a really big hard drive, or very much RAM, in order to use Microsoft Office and the rest of the simple tasks usually done around a home in the day to day tasks of life, a laptop with 500 GB of storage and adequate memory is more than enough.
This computer is far more than enough to accomplish all of that! And, with a built-in 10-key and wide format screen this little beauty is a steal for the price! It is more than fast enough, and easy to use. It's light and very portable. All in all, most definitely worth the price!

Not bad, but not great

The Samsung K3500 has proven to be a pretty fair 4K player, but it seems to have some issues that I recommend someone consider before purchase.
First, it's always a challenge to learn a new interface. Since all players use their own proprietary graphics for execution of functions on the TV display, it can be confusing learning a new interface. But the Samsung interface is actually quite intuitive, and relatively easy to navigate. However, the browsing functions for Netflix and similar streaming services use different remote buttons than the disc functions, leading to frequent issues with hitting the wrong button to pause, play and so forth. I would have thought the designers would have made sure the similar, related functions for streaming were the same as those for the disc.
Second, I have experienced the player freezing without further functionality until killing the power supply. This is actually a serious issue, and since I've already returned one unit because I believed it was a one-time glitch, now that I'm experiencing the same problem with the brand new replacement player it suggests this is an engineering and design problem.
Though killing the power isn't necessarily difficult, it is completely unreasonable for the normal operation of the player. In the last couple of weeks, the problem has occurred twice (though we have admittedly used the player a lot). It had occurred twice on the prior unit before returning it.
Third, similar to the player freezing until a reset is done, it has proven unresponsive in the operation of some remote functions. We have had to wait for the functions to execute after sending the remote signal. For example, when pressing the fast forward button, the player would freeze the screen for a few moments before accepting the remote command. This is likely the same problem as previously mentioned, but presented in a different way.
Having outlined the negative issues, I have to say some of the functionality is actually easier to use than other players we have used.in the past. And, picture quality is what we had expected.
In short, we would give the K3500 mixed reviews. At the discounted price that we paid, it's probably okay. At full price, it certainly isn't worth the price.

Customize the look of your Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with this Candyshell grip phone case. With its ultra-modern black and gray design and durable construction, this case delivers both style and function. The raised bezel gives your phone’s screen added protection, and this Candyshell grip phone case’s shock-absorbing inner layer defends against damage from drops.

Case has worked great!!

The problem with many phones is that they have become hard to hold due to placement of icons on a screen that are hard to reach one-handed, the thinness of the case, and the slick nature of the phone's finish. The Candyshell Grip Case has been outstanding in alleviating this grip problem! Holding the phone one-handed while executing commands on the phone's touch-screen is a breeze. Best of all, it's great protection while retaining the thin form-factor of the phone. I highly recommend!!!

Can this be connected to a Lenovo computer that is equipped with USB ports and used to watch movies from Amazon and other sites instead of using a TV and still get the 4K Ultra HD Wi-Fi?

No. The USB port is used for inputting network signal from your router. It is not used for outputting signal to another device.
