Nice Desktop Computer - Faster than expected
on June 5, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Dell desktop is a small footprint case without frills. The computer set up was straight-forward with no surprises. A notable plus is that there is next to no bloatware. McAfee comes with it but that is about it. The I3 7th gen. processor is much more responsive than expected and performs nicely. It is clocked much faster than most other desktops in the same price range. There is limited expansion space inside but this should be fine for most users. I don't have any negative thoughts about this computer and would not hesitate to look at other Dell computers.

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.

I upgraded from a previous Netgear rounter that was several years old. I wasn't happy with it's reception range so I wanted something stronger. This model, the AC1750 was a perfect choice. It was very easy to set up and install. The range is very good and covers my entire house with a strong signal, extending outside to our deck and even to my shop that is a hundred feet away. The profile is rather modern, sleek with angles. The only issue I could say was a "negative" is that the indicator LEDs on the front are very bright, to bright for most home installations but probably fine for business installations. That said, it is tolerable but I would have preferred the ability to dial them down. Don't let that stop you though as this has been a rock solid router. I haven't needed to reset it in over two months since I installed it.

This is a well priced 3TB back up drive. The USB 3 interface is way faster than the previous USB 2. On the wish list is that Western Digital would report the drive's RPM which is related to writing speed. I would have preferred a drive with 7200 RPM. The other negative comment is that the drive is formatted so that it is compatable with both MAC and Windows systems. This might seem like a good thing but in the Windows world, it means you can't use Window's imaging software to image your drive without reformatting it. This would take a lot of hours! To create a backup image in Win10, you have to download a copy of Acronis True Image from Western Digital's website (which is free). This is good software and easy to use, but it is different. This is not made clear on the box though. The other noticeable thing from previous WD backup drives is the lack of an access indicator light. You don't know when the drive is being written too or when it is in sleep mode. Not a big deal but I would have preferred and indicator LED.

This (2589) GPS is a great unit. I have had 4 previous Garmin's and am happy with all of them. This one has the best display but is highly reflective, as it uses a cell phone like glass surface. That said, you have to align it in your vehicle such that the reflections of the background are minimized. If you can live with that, you will be really happy with this unit. The voice recognition works well with your saved places and the GPS commands, but not so well with addresses. The navigation is good, and when you go past your turn, the unit immediately shows the next possible route. Sometimes the software doesn't look far enough ahead for a better route, but I doubt any other brand behaves differently. I am very satisfied with this unit.

This is a solid well constructed power supply. It is built with flat cables that are easier to route around in your computer. It has plenty of extras cable runs for the all your drives and cards. The fan is quiet. The BB price was fair for the wattage of this unit. The brand has a good reputation on the Web as well.

A good thermal compound
on December 31, 2016
Posted by: RPIN
from Indiana
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to replace the thermal compound under my CPU which had dried out and was allowing my computer to overheat and shut off. Cleaning off the old compound was easy and straight forward. Placing one pea sized blob in the center of the CPU was all that was required. I don't have a way of comparing to the other compounds on the market but I did try to find reviews. Arctic silver was referenced a lot on the Web and was what my system originally had. It failed after 5 years so I wanted to try something else. Diamond particles in this compound are the most conductive solid know so it should (may) be a great product. In any case, my CPU temperatures are back to normal.

Works OK... Easy to Install
on October 8, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This range extender allows access into a closed cabinet for your AV gear. It works OK but I think it is a little weak regarding the sensor's ability to receive the IR signal. You do have to aim pretty carefully from a 15 foot or so distance. The closer you are the less this is important. This is a cost effective solution for some situations.

I bought this for my Galaxy Tab S2. It installed with no issues and seems to be fine. I have not done anything to test it's read/write speed but it is a class 10 card. It was on sale when I got it.

Great light weight tablet
on January 15, 2016
Posted by: RPIN
from Indiana
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Galaxy Tab S2 is wonderful. I feel the screen is very sharp and the colors look great. I really wanted a tablet with an OLED screen which this has. The Android operating system is good and I have not noticed any issues. If one wanted to complain, there is a little Samsung bloatware, but not too much and certainly nothing really objectionable. The tablet is very fast even with lots of APPs open. Battery life is OK, though I have read it is not the best of the tablets out there. It feels nice when held, though it is very thin. I would have been OK with it if Samsung made it a little thicker and increase the battery size a little. I have yet to get a case but have one on order. I would not hesitate to recommend this. I can't think of any others that I have researched that would be as good except for an Apple branded pad. I prefer the Android operating system to the Apple OS.

Will this device work with Windows 10?
Yes this will work in Win10. You will have to download Acronis True Image from WD's website if you want to create an image backup of your system. You can't use Win10's imaging software (that came from Win7). The install is transparent. You will have to choose to use Win10's History function or the WD backup software. I use the HIstory feature instead of the WD software and the Acronis for an image.

Will this power supply fit with the "CyberPowerPC - Gamer Ultra Desktop - AMD FX-Series - 16GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive - Black/Blue" I bought? If not what would you recommend I choose for a power supply? I'm planning to put in an Rx 480 Card as well.

what size of a Micro SD Card
what is the smallest Micro SD in a GPS
You would want to use a 4 to 8 Gig SD card for this. The map updates will eventually use up the space on the unit and you will need one to continue getting map updates. There is no smallest, it is just a matter of what you need for the future updates. Also if you want to store other things on the GPS you need to take that into account too.
