works for post-paid

Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
picked this up to replace another sim card, on a post-paid account so this sim was easily able to be programmed to Post-paid from pre-paid service. Much cheaper than paying the full sim card cost $30, (rip-off).
SIM is universal, its a full size, you can break the plastic down to the size you need depending on whatever device you have.

Speedy little android
on November 11, 2017
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this phone for my father-in-law, he had always used basic android galaxy phones (pre-paid) and with small screens, it was difficult for him to see. Not to mention the slower processors and limited ram. This BLU phone was a tremendous upgrade, bigger screen, less bloatware and so much faster.
The phone is a little bit of a learning curve, but as long as you know android, its relatively simple to learn.
has dual sim card slots and micro SD slot.
comes with rubber case.

Great watch

Verified Purchase:Yes
Had a vivofit1, only reason I no longer use it is cause the battery died and the little plastic safety clip broke and no longer keeps the band on, instead of replacing the battery and band I decided to upgrade and get the vivofit3, backlit screen and a better band is what is the major improvements. Bluetooth is a lot faster as well. It's a small and lightweight band, i expect this thing to last me a good 3 years just like the vivofit1. Not to mention I only had the original battery in my old vivofit...12 month battery? Try almost 36✌️

Great simple to use scale

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this scale with a new Garmin Vivofit3 band, always liked the Garmin active apps, and wanted a scale to interact and record my progress. This thing is wifi enabled so you don't need your phone near or around you. Has intelligent sensors so it can detect the person or profile that's standing on the scale or select the profile manually to save your info/weight/stats. It transfers those stats via wifi to your account, A lot better than the Fitbit scale, feels durable and well made.

Initially bought this hen quickly upgraded to the fly more package. You can fly with your phone or tablet very easily, hand gestures inside and outside work very well also. Really can't complain s base packaged drone. No knocks on the price without controller, it I'd suggest the fly more package.

Super fun and easy to fly drone
on September 2, 2017
Posted by: maz94protege
from Stafford, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
For all experience levels, super easy to control and fly. The 1080p HD camera is no joke. You think you need 4K like what's on a Phantom4???? Nope not at all.
I use this to fly around, get coverage at car and sporting events or at the beach. Very happy. Friend has a Phantom3 Pro, and I was skeptical with the spark, but I'm now glad I bought it.
When comparing to the base model spark this is $200 more, however, you get the controller and an extra battery with $250 right there. The battery charger works great, plus this fly more package gives you a nice leather carry case.
Well worth it.

Boost your workspace with this powerful Dell 27-inch Ultra HD 4K monitor. Accurate color performance and 8 million high-contrast pixels make this versatile unit, which has a formidable 9mn response rate, ideal for graphics professionals and gamers. Enhanced with an anti-glare coating and equipped with an adaptable stand, this Dell 27-inch Ultra HD 4K monitor is an ergonomically sound choice.
 

can my xps 9000 with intel core 920 proccessor and ati radeon hd 5870 be enough to work this 4k monitor? any upgrades needed?

Your video card supports a max resolution of 2560x1600. You cannot run 4K with your video card. Your processor should have little effect if you upgrade to a newer generation video card. I'd strongly recommend staying at the 1080p range. To enjoy the 4k experience, you would need a faster processor and video card (basically an entirely new system) 4K in gaming can be very taxing on the components...not many games support 4k currently as well. If you just need screen/desktop space for internet surfing, music and office type applications, just upgrading the video card will help.

Look for a 1440p monitor if your just looking for a monitor upgrade. Ive added some monitors below for consideration for gaming.

charging cable

can I use the same charging cable that I use for the S3 for the S7
Yes Micro USB cables are all the same. Some 3rd party cables have bigger protection around the physical plug (place you hold while plugging in and unplugging). The only issue there is with cases, some cases need a thinner plug surround (like the Samsung branded cables). Other than that, they are all the same.

Can I buy the GSM Unlocked version of S7 without all the AT&T apps already installed?

I want to pay the full price for the GSM S7 but I don't want the AT&T bloatware. Is this possible? Amazon has the International version only.
No, you would have to buy the AT&T version at full price or when its paid off get it unlocked from AT&T. Fully unlocked from the factory devices are straight Samsung and Android installed apps. No carrier specific apps are on Unlocked devices.

Unlock

Can I unlock a unactivated device?
You could you need to contact the carrier the phone is branded under for instructions. Its better usually to just purchase the unlocked version so you don't have carrier specific applications on the device if you plan on never using that carrier.

Requirements

Now I have owned this since this past February and it turns out that my existing computer doesn't agree with it because of the mismatched performance so what is the best and most affordable computer/laptop that I should buy for this?
Did you get a new computer yet? Look for any Intel i7-2xxx processor or better (3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx) wither it is MAC or PC, both work well with this HD60...as long as it has the CPU power. Minimal Ram is 8GB (my suggestion)


You could find a used laptop on local classifieds for a few hundred, or a Macbook Pro with i7 (late 2011) is what I'm using, could be bought for around $650 off a private owner. (I bought mine brand new back in the day)

Will a 1.6GHz Mac desktop support elgato game capture HD60?

Or do I need a higher GHz Mac desktop?
No, anything less than an intel i7, i wouldn't recommend it. The i5 1.6ghz is so low power it may/may not work correct. You can certainly try it and return the product if it doesn't work as you want.

Keep in mind, only capture at 720p and 30fps. anything higher is going to tax your computer too much. I used the HD60 on my Macbook Pro with an i7 2.2ghz, but was again only able to capture 720p @ 30fps....
