Good laptop

My opinion laptops are like tires on your car, don't buy the most expensive ones and replace when needed. For $200 these are hard to beat. No they are not the fastest units on the block. Compared to a $1,000 laptop, 5 years down the road, you could be much faster , with replacement units every year... than that old expensive laptop.

Lurking around every corner are malicious online threats that put your computers, mobile devices, information and identity at risk. While you answer e-mail, you're vulnerable to phishing attacks.

Better than nothing

Not a fan of AV programs. They have all failed us at one point or another. However you need something on a machine. But remember not 2... so if you have a trial or old version of an AV program remove it first. Virus' are a smaller part of the PC problem these days, Mal-ware is bigger, unfortunately cutting the keyboard and mouse wires (the cause) is not a good alternative. Bad software gets installed because of the users actions. Also not a fan of auto renewing software, so if they have your credit card number, make sure you are still using the software, you might be paying for nothing. Not saying this software does that but most major AV programs do. Be aware.

Back your stuff up. If you simply right click all your photos and send them to this drive.... and anything else you don't want to loose. No body ever got fired for having too many backups. There are a number of backup programs out there but none better than copying files to an external drive and then verify you can see them. Get 2 and copy them again... don't loose anything.

Asus - great basic laptop
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have purchased this basic laptop for all my children over the years and recommended it to others. A laptop is a consumable, just like tires on your vehicle. At $200 or near, it fits this scenario perfectly. Over the course of 2 years most laptops, hinges fail, keys start sticking or falling off, rubber feet gone (causing future over heating), batteries won't keep a charge, AC adapters get broken, etc. It is a lot easier to replace this level of laptop if you have not financed the ranch... move on and probably up to a faster unit....

Back up your Stuff

Verified Purchase:Yes
It is too easy and too cheap not to back up your stuff on a regular basis. Crypto Virus these days will lock all your data files, keep a backup copy of them off your computer. At some point in your life you will loose a computer, it will get stolen, burn up, crash or get a virus... back up your stuff. It works much better if you do it before one of the things above happens.

Don't use your iPad without one. Spend a few bucks for one of these or plan on purchasing a new screen at some point. Might as well pay now, plus you get the use of a blue tooth keyboard as a bonus.

Maximize your productivity with this HP LaserJet Pro M277dw printer, which copies, scans and faxes and features built-in wireless networking that supports remote printing from compatible Android, Apple® iOS and Windows mobile devices.
 

Can you scan documents to go directly to your dropbox?

I believe you can pick that as your default folder in the scanning software, but I would recommend coping to Drop box with all data just in case it gets encrypted by some ransomware infected by you or another computer you share right to that dropbox with.

Can it print labels, stickers?

As with all "Laser " printers there is a heat issue, be sure you purchase the proper Avery labels for "laser" not ink... they have their own issues with smearing.

I know the IOS app works like a charm. I have access to all my backup data from anywhere on the planet in real time.

We have two families that operate off of one router. Can I still use this device to backup my own computers without affecting the other family's use of the router? If so, how would I install it (I am not very computer literate!). Thanks

Honestly if you are "sharing" an internet connection, your saving money. If you are asking such questions, hire someone to set it up for you.

Hello, Does this Storage Device work with Windows XP Pro? Can This *Cloud* Be Shared Across Computers using XP PRO on our Home Network? Is this Device made to Stream 24 x 7 ? Thanks in advance

Really still worried about Windows XP? But cross platform to Linux, Apple and Microsoft products ... you can turn on NFS ... and map drives to all these devices. Works like a charm.

Only at Best BuyThis powerful Insignia™ NS-STR514 2.0-channel stereo receiver features compatibility with Apple® iPhone® and iPad® and most Bluetooth-enabled devices for easy wireless music streaming. The A/B switch supports up to 4 speakers.
 

Has anybody used two or more of these 2 channel receivers and sync them all using CHROMECAST AUDIO group feature?

It does not matter what amp you have. The Chrome Cast Audio hooks up to any audio input. I have 8 of the CCA units into 8 different stereo amps, 3 of them happen to be these receivers. I use the AUX3 in the front and they work great. I can adjust volume for the different zones on each amp. Then I have whole house group, outside group, etc...

The NETGEAR SOHO Ethernet Unmanaged Switches provide easy and affordable network connectivity to small offices and home/offices. With these Plug-and-Play switches, you can quickly and easily expand your network connections to multiple devices, with no configuration required.
 

Which port does the cable coming in the back of the switch box go in or does it matter ?

Any port will do. There is no "uplink" designated on this unit. I would also assume that you could not use a cross over cable unless the device at the other end is capable.

Is this switch compatible with Cat 6 cables? It says cat 5, I just don't know if that means cat 5 or higher or cat 5 only.

I have Cat5e and Cat 6 connections on mine at home and they work fine.

Does this switch carry the PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality? If so, what type of cable must be used for POE (Not looking for "Cat6 or Cat5e" answers, I'm talking twisted-pair or something like 568-A or related)?

PoE will pass through this switch but no it does not generate PoE (power over ethernet)

Can I take ethernet wire from my modem run it to the back of the switch then take another wire and hook my axis point to it without using ports on my route

You would want your router to be the first connection after your modem. otherwise any device you connection would be on it's own with no firewall. Also your ISP may limit the number of devices or IP's the modem gives out.
