I received a link to review a product for bonus points. However, it does not tell me what I am reviewing. So I will just say it is awesome.

Well it is a free Internet Security. But so is Windows Defender. I personally do not care for 3rd party Antivirus and malware software as they function similar to malware and tend to be a drag on computer resources.

I purchased this computer for my 87 year old father. It is perfect and exceeds his needs. The monitor is beautiful and bright. He can store all his photos. It is currently also serving as a replacement for his TV. It has more than enough power for the average user.

Makes my old smart phone look like was not...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first non Samsung phone in my last 5 phones and I will never look back. The screen is smooth and crystal clear, apps load exceptionally fast and are organized simply and easy to find. I have trended to watching a lot of streaming video at night before bed and this is a large high resolution image. There are a few little add on that Google has put in that my iPhone buddies wish they had. So far after a week this is a great phone. My next phone in 2 years may very well be another Pixel. The only drawback is the phone is very thin and a little slippery. I put Speck case on it and the problem is solved.

Another top notch gaming Laptop. Except...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my third MSI gaming laptop. I currently do not see any reason why I would go with a different brand at this time. However, a few things that set this apart from my last two. My first two have ZERO to near ZERO bloatware pre-installed. This one does. This is probably consistent with other new models. The model, and many new models, do not have a DVD drive installed. This is not a big deal to me as I nave not installed any programs from DVD in a number of years. The result is this laptop is a lot thinner and lighter than my other two. This may or may not lead to heat concerns by having a more closed in space. This particular build the cooling fan will start up as soon as you start a game. The laptop is not even warm. The other two I had included easy to find settings to only turn the fan on when the laptop started getting warm. Also on previous builds the Killer Network did a really good job of minimizing other programs during game play. this machine has a lot more power than i have ever had but the Killer seems to not minimize other programs anymore. Don't get me wrong. this is a GREAT computer and the graphics are simply stunning.

Great device for casting

I analyzed multiple devices for casting programming to a TV and settled on the Chromecast. A huge benefit of this device is that you can use your phone or tablet as a remote. Provided the OS is new enough. I can also cast from my laptop to my TV. I also have a ROKU and even though the perform different functions I prefer the Chromecast

Great for single users or single controller

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Chromecast Ultra is quick and easy to set up. I used an Ethernet cable from my modem and would recommend that for anyone. You can quickly and easily cast from your phone, computer or tablet direct to the chromecast. I purchased this for use with YourTube TV. There is where we discovered the drawback. I had been using it on my phone. The next day I tried to show my wife how it works using my iPad. I could not cast from the iPad until I went into my phone and cast something then stopped casting. Hence the reason for the title of this review. I found the device to be cumbersome switching between devices for casting. My Roku actually works better for Netflix and Amazon Prime as well. However, despite that drawback the device is pretty amazing.

Easily carry this Manfrotto Befree MKBFRA4-BH tripod, which features a lightweight, collapsible design that allows simple transport in a backpack or other carry-on luggage. The 8.8-lb. payload ensures stability, even when shooting using long zoom lenses.
Can I get the Manfrotto Befree in carbon fiber?
The Befree line does come in Carbon Fiber but BB does carry it.

Snap steady shots with your compatible DSLR camera using this Manfrotto MKCOMPACTACN-BK tripod that extends up to 60" and folds down to 17.8" for compact storage. A quick-release plate and locking system allow simple attachment, removal and adjustment.
can i do panoramic without it moving vertically ?
I want it to pan left and right and not up and down. I see the feature that keeps it from going side to side but want to lock it from going up and down.
I find this tripod to be a bit sticky for panning. If you want to do a lot of that I would suggest a higher end tripod or looking at a monopod.
This one will tend to jerk a little. Fine for still photos but not so much for video

Will this tripod hold a Nikon 3100, with a 200 mm lens steady?
I is capable of holding it steady but not in a windy situation.
I have a Nikon D80 with a 200 mm and it doe fine. However I find the action on the head to be a bit sticky. Then again this is not a $250 tripod

does it come with or have drain attachment for latex or plastic hose?
with such hose it can drain into a sink from counter top in basement....
For continuous drainage operation, you will need a garden hose and a drain nearby to discharge the water into

what is the minimum room temperature that this unit can operate in?
If the unit is used in an area that gets down to about 50 degrees will it freeze up or function properly?
The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 96 °F(35 °C). The unit will not work
properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will
fall greatly.

attach extension cord?
I read somewhere that this unit will not work with an extension cord. Is this true?
Seriously doubt that would be true of a fan. However, I have one in my basement and it is plugged into an extension cord and works perfectly.

Which 25 ft HDMI cable can I use to connect 2 computers in different rooms to one modem?
I am trying to connect 2 pcs to my Internet modem, which is located in one room. I will need to drill a hole through the wall to feed the wires through, so I need the 25 ft HDMI, but I am not sure about which cable to buy? I have never done anything like this before, as is the reason for my question. Thank you. :))
Generally modems connect via Ethernet cables. If your using hdmi it should not make any difference. some will tell you that an expensive cable will give you better performance but this is generally not true.
