works great at a great price

This worked perfectly for me. I needed a replacement for a 50 foot HDMI cable I purchased a few years ago (before 4K and its specs were prevalent) which had worked fine until I recently added a soundbar. The video kept dropping out and I hoped this new cable with it 4K specs would help. It did - no video drops and audio sounds great thru the soundbar.

my wife likes a smaller head for her tooth brush. These work well but as is the case with replacement ink cartridges - overpriced!

Since I had to replace my desktops PSU several years ago I was sure I needed to do it again when I heard my other desktop fans on "high" all the time. This unit just slipped right into the case and was easily attached to the motherboard, drives and graphics card. Its somewhat modular but I wound up using most of the cables due to my setup - BUT its still a nice option to have to not have a lot of unused cable cluttering up your machine. Has a 3 year warranty which I found acceptable for its "bronze" rating and price point. A nice unit all in all and its nice to have my quiet desktop back.

nice upgrade for my (much) older desktop

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have an older gateway FX530S desktop that I purchased in 2007. The only original components left are the board and processor, everything else has been upgraded - but I was still using HDD's. So I decided to upgrade to an SSD.
I had issues with cloning using included software and wound up using free minitool partition wizard free.
Do yourself a favor and buy external docking hardware, you can use it to check drives etc. after using to clone your SSD. I already had a 2 1/2 inch USB 3.0 case so I just dropped the SSD into it - connected to desktop using USB. After cloning I just swapped out HDD with SSD and desktop started with no issues.
I didnt see a big decrease in boot time - but I am chalking that up to some added hardware and the bus limitations of my older PC. I am still glad I upgraded as I feel more secure having SSD rather than HDD. BUT always do your backups as nothing is fail safe..

I built my wife a desktop PC a year or so ago and used HDD I already had. It was slow to boot though so I decided to upgrade to an SSD. I am glad I did - the boot time was reduced by 80%. The copy/clone software it comes with worked fine for me. After cloning I just swapped out HDD with SSD and desktop started with no issues. My case already had slot for SSD so didnt need to get a conversion from 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch.

office 2016 without outlook - what I wanted

I have Office Professional 2000 but after a hard drive crash and re-installing it - I couldnt get the required updates to make it work with documents, etc. created using newer (4 position suffix file names) office. Thanks MS!!!!!
So I decided to purchase rather than subscribe to Office 365. I dont use outlook so didnt want to spend another $80 to get it. It was easy to download/install and it is listed as software in my MS account so I can re-install if needed.

These are a great size and they are soft enough for little gums but still clean nicely. A tad pricey to me but would still highly recommend.

Great if not plugging in most AC adapters

Verified Purchase:Yes
Low profile which is what I wanted and knew I was plugging in normal cords. But be aware that due to the orientation of the plug-ins on the side there is very little clearance to the wall - so I doubt most AC adapters would work with this. Not an issue for me but be advised.

installed easily but seems very slow to use. It may be my desktop so be sure you have enough fire power to be able to use it (see its specs for minimum requirements).

works great but depth and software could be issue

Make sure to understand electrical wiring if you plan on installing yourself. Luckily I do but it still was a tad confusing as the unit needs to have power all the time so as to always be connected to internet.
Once wired I had no problem with initial setup using android phone, insignia and google home apps - but make sure your phone is close to the unit when setting up. You have to sign-in using your best buy account info - which to me isnt to much of an issue since best buy already had that info.
But after getting it all working I decided to rename the outlet which was easily done thru the insignia app but I had to refresh the google home app so it picked up the rename.
Worked great for 2 weeks then it stopped working. Reset it, uninstalled/re-installed software - nothing worked. Was getting ready to take it back when it started working. Insignia had updated its software and caused issues that I guess got fixed. So from now on when I see an insignia app update I always check it to make sure it is working afterward. It worked flawlessly since this issue.
I have it controlling the outside lights on our garage and its great to be able to turn the lights on remotely using my phone before we get home if out after dark.

VERY IMPORTANT - these only work with single switches, not with 2, 3 etc. way. Also would caution that the unit is deep. I installed in a box with 3 other switches and due to all of the wiring I had to move a couple around to get enough clearance to screw in this switch and put cover back on.
Definitely recommend especially since I got it on sale.

Accomplish more on your PC with these PNY desktop DIMM modules, which have a clock frequency of 1600MHz. The DDR3 sticks have a combined capacity of 16GB to let you load and utilize more applications at the same time. These PNY desktop DIMM modules have excellent thermal performance to prevent overheating.
I purchased this ram, but before I install it I would like to make sure it is compatible with an ASUS F2A55-M motherboard using an AMD microprocessor.
It should work but make sure the pins are aligned. I googled your motherboard and found this link https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/F2A55M/specifications/.
Adding memory is the easiet and quickest way to upgrade your machine. If this is your first time opening it up and trying something like this - I would suggest taking your time and make note of how the old memory is oriented in the slots. Also you might want to do a benchmark before and after adding/replacing the memory. I wold suggest AJA system test or PC mark8. Also speccy is great to check out all of your hardware, temperatures, etc. CCleaner is great to get rid of files and check your registry. All are free downloads. Good luck and hope the response helps....but I noticed this question is over 2 months old so you may have moved on...

What size bolts does this the back of this soundbar take to mount to a wall bracket.
it comes with a template to help setup the speaker if mounting to the wall. The template suggests 2 #10 x 1 1/2 inch wood screws or anything with a screw head of 1/4 or 3/8 inch head. Hope this helps although since this was 3 months ago - you have probably moved on by now :-)
