Wasn't sure if I would like this but there are many times our family want a picture together and we have no picture taker. We like how this gives us the ability to keep all of us in the picture. A+

Great Product. It works well for our home in the kitchen. Was easy to hook-up. You will need to get a wall plate for this item. Although there are different color fixtures, you will still need to purchase the plate that goes around the switch.

All you have to do on newer Operating Systems is plug it into your computer then attach it to an HDMI device and it will project what is on your computer. I have had little to no problems with these. A Great Product!

Great Product! Works great in the laptop

I have used SanDisk and prefer to use SanDisk for years. They seem to always work well with little problems if any. I purchase IT for my company, friends, family, and even my church. I buy SanDisk first. I'm not saying others don't work and are not dependable. BUT, what I am saying is SanDisk works Great and I cannot recall one failing. AND, just in case you are wondering, I have no ownership or partaking in SanDisk...I just like their product.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Onenote

This is a great product and widely used which helps when transferring files with others. A great feature with the newer Office packages is the applications work with each other very well. If you have excel calculations you want to show to others in a presentation, you can correlate the two apps where the results can be shown in a way you would like them to in powerpoint. When you change the results in the excel spreadsheet -- the results are transmitted to the powerpoint presentation.

Works great for my kids in the car for long trips
on March 16, 2016
Posted by: Spikel

Verified Purchase:Yes
This product is one DVD player and two monitors to put on the back of your front seats so your children or whoever can watch video. You can connect other things to the screens like gaming stations but we use it mainly to entertain our kids for long trips. The holders that are provided do not fit well on many seats. But all in all it is very nice. You can also use these in a home environment. Sound is good, Video is good and all you have to do is help your kids decide on that one thing for them to watch. We all know that is an adventure. Another great addition are the included headphones. They work great when you want to listen to music while they are watching video.

Exceptional Touch Laptop!
on March 16, 2016
Posted by: Spikel
from Ohio
Verified Purchase:Yes
In my eye, I feel ASUS is one of the top 3 Laptop providers. This laptop was easy to setup and has a lot to offer. With the Touch Screen, 12GB of RAM and a TB of hard drive space; you don't need much more. It is a 2 in 1 laptop. That means to me you can take the monitor to the back of the laptop and it doubles as a tablet or to watch video. When doing this the keyboard is deactivated until you pull the screen from the base. I really like this laptop for the normal to high end user. I recommended this laptop to a friend and he loved it too!

This Product Loaded and Works Great!

I purchased this software package for a server I needed to load a server OS onto. So far it works great. I have ordered this OS for 2 other Servers I also have loaded and are currently using. The one thing I probably care for the least about this OS is the GUI. The GUI is so much like that of Windows 8. Wish it were more like one of the other Desktop OS like Windows 10 or 7 or XP.

This works well for a Monitor/Computer pairing when one has a DVI Connection and the other has an HDMI connection. Worked Great. We just plugged it in and everything connected up. Just had to go in and tell the computer how I wanted to push the image to the screen (Mirror, extended, etc.).

Position your GPS receiver for easy viewing in your vehicle with this friction mount.
 

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.
