My wife loves this on her phone and the protection it gives to her phone. If there was something I wish it would have different is the port to charge. It is different than that of the phone.

Garmin I've learned works as well if not better than all other GPS Units. All the Garmins I've purchased generally work well for a long time. I purchase many for Service Techs and Salesman at my job. They stand strong and can handle a lot. Great Product.

Wow! What an awesome mouse. Works great. No more batteries. Just plug it into one of the USB ports to charge and you can use it while it is charging. Its preciseness is exceptional. You think all mouse devices are the same. Think again. This one is a much better mouse.

I have generally had great luck with the Netgear switches and AP Devices. They are, in my eyes, one of the best switches without all the bells and whistles a network doesn't need anyway.

How do I detach the GPS Drive 50LM from the mount's ball? I know there must be a release somewhere but I can't figure it out. Thanks.

You need to pull it gently from the ball. Hold on to everything as you do it to not drop or jerk too hard and let go of the gps.

Be more flexible with this Lenovo 15.6-inch two-in-one notebook. It's a tent, a tablet and a laptop all in one, giving you plenty of options when you want to work, play or show off presentations. A rapid Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM keeps this Lenovo 15.6-inch two-in-one notebook running quickly.
 

Does this laptop have a button on the keyboard in addition to a touchpad? I don't like touchpads so when I don't have a mouse I like to use this feature.

Sorry to say that it doesn't have a button on the keyboard. For me that is fine but sounds like you are looking for a laptop that does have that. It is a great Laptop.

Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.
 

I got an Echo Dot for Christmas along with a Phillips hue light bulb. Originally the idea was to be able to say Alexa turn on the lights. Now I need to purchase a bridge but I think I want to add maybe surveillance. What brand would be the best to buy?

Since you already have the dot and Alexa setup, just ask her what surveillance systems she supports.
