I greatly like this shredder. It shreds things up very well. CDs, Letters, etc. I like the cross shred. Makes me feel more confident these documents would be harder to view.

The last Bluetooth earpiece my end user used was also a Plantronic but after years of using it broke at the ear and the battery was not holding power. He uses this non stop and thinks this one is great too. He is an avid believer in the Plantronics bluetooth earpiece. He loves them.

Speakers work well
on September 18, 2017
Posted by: Spikel
from Ohio
Verified Purchase:Yes
These speakers have a great sound as do most Logitech speakers I've purchased. Personally, I like the Logitech speakers that also have a small sub woofer to give even a more full sound. These speakers are great for a computer that just needs the ability to deliver a great sound without the personal need of that fullness. Great speaker for the price too.

I purchased this hard-drive to download backups from one location and keep them with me as I travel to another location. It works great. Plenty of storage and a great and small device that fits well for when I travel. I would recommend this drive for anyone who needs a lot of storage and the need for a smaller form drive.

You can type in dim lighting using the backlit keyboard or use the convertible flip hinge to switch to tablet mode and swipe through features using the 15.6" touch screen. With a spacious 1TB hard drive, there's plenty of space to store pictures and music.
 

Will charging the battery before it's fully discharged affect the life of the battery?

Does it have the kind of battery with the "memory effect"?
I always fully charge the battery and discharge the battery down under 10% twice before using the charging procedure through normal use. I have seen it is good to do this and generally the battery lasts longer. It is also good to discharge the battery once a month. Although many will tell you that batteries of today don't need that, I find it does help. And, if anything, it doesn't hurt. What is cool about this laptop is after it fully charges, the charger quits charging the battery. With that said and is there for you to consider, I don't feel your question affects the battery as long as you do the initial process and discharge your battery down as close to 5%-10% once a month. That allows the battery to know what LOW is. I have been told it is not good to completely discharge a battery. Just so you know, these are all opinions. No one really knows what is best other than through experience.

Garmin nüvi 2597LMT Portable GPS: Take this portable GPS along for your next trip, so you can enjoy spoken directions that mention recognizable buildings and other landmarks to guide you. With 10 million points of interest, you'll be able to travel to a variety of locales across the U.S. and Canada.
 

How can I transfer addresses from an old Garmin to the nuvi 2597LMT?

You will want to load Garmin Express on your computer. Then make a backup of your GPS favorites to your computer. Click on your GPS icon and then click on Tools to backup your Favorites. After backing up your favorites you can disconnect the old GPS and connect your new GPS. After or before loading all the updates and such to your new GPS, you will want to Click on the icon for your new GPS, Click Tools (which is the same place you backed up your old GPS) and go down a little more and there you can select the Old GPS and load that backup of your Favorites to your new GPS.

Does this router have a firewall and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a router with a firewall?

Need a new wireless router but after researching different ones, I have so many questions, including the one above!

Also, is WPA or WPA 2 a better type of encryption?
Yes it does have a firewall. Very easy to access and utilize. You are able to block anything you wish specifically and there are categories you can block too. This is a great router. You are also able to send logs to an email to view what end users are accessing.

Is there repeater functionality on this router?

We are in a large office. Can I buy two of these and connect them to extend the network? We want to keep it all the same network.
Yes! You can setup these Routers as Repeaters. When logging on as an Administrator you can go to the Repeater section toward the bottom of the listed options. You check a checkbox and submit. The router turns into an accepting repeater. The downside of setting it up as a repeater is you cannot use the web filtering app that is on the device.
