This thing is AMAZING and I am kicking myself for not having discovered these gadgets sooner than I did!  Wireless connectivity is relatively reliable 2 rooms away - it matters how many other connected devices are using bandwidth at a given time, however - just like any other wireless device. Netflix and HuluPlus and You-Tube work flawlessly but other, less-popular streaming apps seem less stable and quite glitchy.  Fortunately, there's a work-around for that so it's essentially a non-issue!  This thing is small and doesn't clutter up precious space like a tablet, laptop or computer would - the biggest bonus is that it uses Android apps that aren't available on those other devices yet has all the apps you've grown to love and appreciate on your PC!

Update: April 14, 2015.  I order this device exactly one year ago today.  Up to recently, it worked wonderfully.  I noticed a couple of weeks ago, there was a power "glitch" and I lost all function.  Then, suddenly, I touched something just right and I had function again.  So, for a couple of weeks, it's been business-as-usual and I'm a happy camper.  Until today...another power glitch and I got nothin'.  The difference between a couple of weeks ago and now is that the power's on but I've got no interface and no way to control the device.  It's basically useless with no way to fix it.  For as much as I paid for this thing, I would expect it to last a lot longer than exactly 365 days.  But, I suppose I should count my blessings:  given some of the other reviews I've read, my device has held out quite a bit longer.

I spent 2 days scouring the internet for a resolution to my problem and finally came upon some extremely obscure YouTube video that showed how to do a factory reset on a bricked device.  I followed the instructions and voila - was able to boot it and restore it.  Of course, I lost all of the data I had accrued since I started using it, but that pales in comparison to having a device that doesn't work at all.

Still no response from the Seller with regards to any amount of customer service - just wanted to know if they could help with a fix for the device - I guess not.

I still like this device, but if I wasn't a persistent, semi-tech-savvy kinda person, I would have a piece of useless junk here - and I know that there have been others who have probably encountered this situation who didn't know what to do or where to turn with their issue so they just junked it.  There should be better customer service for the products we purchase - not just here, on Amazon, but ANYWHERE.

I was very skeptical about buying a $30 camera but honestly, best electronic purchase of the year for us! The set up is so easy, the app is free and the quality of picture you get is amazing. We have it set up in the kitchen for puppy surveillance and I've ordered two more, one more for us and one for the in-laws! We love these!

I love this system for everything from its slick modern design, it's portability, and ease of use. We opted for the 2 camera system for $354.00 and I'm very happy with my purchase. This works great in the day and night time. Images come in very very clear. There's a slight Iag in the live real time feed but 3.5 seconds or so. Also the magnetic mounts...GENUIS idea  to give two bonus mounts that way if your needs change its easy to move the cameras to another location within minutes!!!  Netgear is a name I trust and that along with this being a completely wireless setup is what really sold me on this perticuler kit..  I haven't experience any issues with the app, except for if my boyfriend and I are trying to log in at the same time it will boot the other person out and will give a message indicating that someone else has logged in on another device. This system is expandable up to eight devices. Arlo comes with a variety of features and adjustable settings. 5 stars from me. We've had this noe fit 1 week.

I will easily call this purchase of the year! I was looking for a door bell with HD video and two way conversation. This was the only one I could find. Installation and configuration was a breeze. Many such products are let down by their phone apps. The app provided is the best I have used with such devices. It's intuitive and easy to use. I am amazed by the sensitivity of the motion sensor which is configurable. The area for motion detection is configurable. The microphone is ultra sensitive and two way communication crystal clear. The video streaming is sharp. The ring and movemnent alerts are timely and all these episodes are recorded for viewing later. In summary it's an amazing piece of kit. The only critique is Ring aren't selling the pro fitting kit in the UK and once ordered it comes from Hong Kong. This takes time. However their customer service is available 24/7 and are extremely helpful to resolve any issue!

First of all, it took this item four days to get to Los Angeles from Taiwan, I ordered it on Friday and it was delivered on Tuesday. I'm a Sony guy, so, this was a must. I do own some apple products but after trying this baby out, this is all I use now. Yes I did dip in in water quickly, and then I put it under running water and nothing happened to it. VERY, The screen is very reflective but it was fixed by the matte screen protector I bought for it. I did not get the keyboard since I need it to be as portable as possible for online school, which is why I bought it, and it does everything I need, it comes with Microsoft word, PowerPoint, excel, and OneNote. Very convenient that I can start doing my homework on the tablet and finish it on the computer since you can log in to your Microsoft account. The 2K display is AWESOME, I actually think it is designed for somewhat blind people because everything is blown up. I have been using it for over a month now and I love it, battery life is unbelievable. I watched 2 movies totaling just over 4 hours and still had 74% battery life left. You power options are very flexible and you can set it to high performance, or power saver. I charge once a week without letting out go under 15% battery power. it is also DLNA certified, I can just sweep a movie onto the TV within the same network or music. it does have a slot for a microSD card (it is not slow in reading it) plus the 32GB internal, micro SIM card slot also there right next to it. Wi-Fi works awesome for me. The only thing I did not like about it was that it came preloaded with a whole lot of apps, but I just deleted them and the camera is rather crappy compared to an iPod Touch 5 but it does the job. Awesome product, don't know why it is not sold here in the US.

I could not be happier with my purchase.  Long Battery life, great speakers, small and light, sturdy, and allows me use the full suite of google services effectively.  I literally can not imagine $150 better spent.  The screen is not great, but for the money I paid, this is an amazing machine.

Wonderful product, very impressed.

Great qualities:
Excellent sound- internal speakers and subwoofer are superb for an all in one. Connect to addition speakers and you truly have a wonderful sound experience.

Top notch design- the unit is extremely stable and balanced. The movement of the screen into a flat position for games or group work is welcome, but I was truly impressed by the "command center" positioning. The computer adjusts to be in an angle partially above and below desk (see product pictures). I was uncertain how I would use this mode, but after says of use I can say it is a surprisingly futuristic and useful experience. I was looking at a menu's nutritional facts on PEI Wei, yet felt like I was manipulating a screen like minority report. The key with the screen and windows 8.1 is to just keep playing and for heaven's sake watch the help videos. Nearly all of the fruition is answered in two 3 minute windows help videos.

Speed and capabilities- this computer is capable of handling nearly anything you throw at it. I put mine through a series of tests and various gaming seniors. The graphics card is capable for an all in one at this price point. Computer was snappy between apps and had no problem handling various programs at once.

The Screen- Beautiful and responsive. I am blown away by the price point with of large gorgeous touchscreens with capable hardware under the hood. If you are used to windows 8.1 on a tablet you will have a brief adjustment period on the big screen. Swiping from corners is easy, but simply find the edge of screen when swiping between apps.

Bonus- It has become another TV for movies. Just move the one device and you have beautiful streaming Netflix anywhere inside or outside. The sharp speaker quality insures a one device move. We placed it on our patio and adjusted screen for an event and it worked fabulous.

Bonus 2- Kids absolutely love it! Purchase was primarily for my wife's work, but the interactive screen is perfect for kids. We have it in an easy to supervise room and they paint and draw in duel mode (a painting program comes with) that allows for two independent painting projects simultaneously (the beauty of 10 point touch).

Disclaimer- I purchased my unit on a special deal that is currently over. Shop around within amazon and beyond for best orientation. They do have i7 versions with more ram for cheap. Depends upon needs. 4th generation i5 seems like plenty, 8gb of ram or more is a must.

In another review someone wrote "PCs are made for tech people". I could not agree more. However, I am a tech guy and I don't have the time any more to fuss with a dell running xp. I could not bring myself to spending money on a new laptop and running Vista on it. Microsoft if you are reading this than you better get your stick together because this machine combined with Max OS X is awesome. With Leopard coming out next month I can only say bye - bye XP and Vista.

I have had this for less than 1 day. I bought 4gb of memory from newegg for $250 and upgraded this puppy. Upgrading the memory is strait forward and the only challenge I had was loosing the screw that secure the panel protecting the memory slots. I had a real struggle and used a jewlers phillips head crew driver and after a few minuyes of some angst I was able to loosen them. I soon dicovered they had that blue "loctite" substance which explaind the diffculty. There is a video on youtube that shows how it is done. Just search on Mac Book Pro and memory.

 It is fast and the screen resolution at 1920 x 1200 is astonishing. I have the Serene aquarium installed and the graphics are breathtaking. It is almost too good because the fonts on some of the programs are very small. In firefox the links or the toolbar are very small and I have yet figured out how to make them larger. There must be a way to make them larger but I have not figured it out.

The keyboard has a nice responsive touch to it and it does not have ay clackity clack in it. The keyboard is set back and there is plenty of room to rest your palms on it.

The wireless works great and I was able to connect to my Dlink gamer with no problemo. I do not have the Draft 11n access point so I was not taking full advantage of the wifi this machine has to offer.

I'm so into tech stuff. I normally don't purchase things as soon as they come out because of the fear that I may have brought a lemon. This isn't the case. I continue watched, read and listened it various reviews and comparisons to the I guy thingy and I'm still excited and happy with my xoom. I use it everyday. Reading or listening to audio books. Puzzles and pasttime activity available on the ready while waiting to pick up my son or waiting rooms. I regret that I have to drive myself to work and not taking public transportation as I would've more time to read my bible, newspapers and books.  The only disppointment I had earlier was the inability to get Netflix, but that's resolved. This is a little fun power house!!!<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/MOTOROLA-XOOM-Android-Tablet-10-1-Inch-32GB-Wi-Fi/dp/B0045FM6SU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet (10.1-Inch, 32GB, Wi-Fi)</a>

I had another computer in mind, my son wanted this one. Although I was purely going by specs, he was going by everyday use for what he needs. This computer is by far the best technological investment I purchased for my son. The ability of this computer to drop and walk away as I looked in a box at my broken Apple Air that I dropped never to use again. Excellent finger and typing control, good picture, good sound for schoolwork, not surround sound or anything for movies, but this is for school and it still works for movies. I have another expensive computer that was fried out when a Mike's Lemonade was spilled over it. This one takes the spills without damage, just wipe up and work on. Of course my son will only be drinking regular lemonade, but spills are part of growing up. If he loses it, bummer, but for the low cost can also take that in stride. The 180 degree opening also gives him every angle to work on a bus, at home, anywhere and its compact enough not to weigh down the backpack at just 2.6 lbs. Used Google Drive for storage and didn't fret about space as most is kept on school website. Asus delivered on this Chromebook.

Just purchased this HPE-170f and right out of the box everything worked.  Hooked up new 24" Monitor via DVI Cable, hooked up HP Printer via USB, and wireless being built-in to system it found my wireless network right away.  I have a ton of applications running, and it is instantaneous, running Windows 7 Premium.  Changed browser to FireFox of which I love, great job guys/gals.  Ran google earth and flew across the USA in a couple seconds.  This system is so WOW!!!  Great job HP, love it, and you will not be disappointed in what you get for the dollars here.  The video nVidia GeForce with 1.8GB of memory on it keeps it flying super fast with a ton of applications running simultaneously on system with 9GB memory.  Checkout [...] if you wish to play and overclock the i7 quad core CPU, but unless you want to play it is plenty fast enough!!  Will have to buy a Personal or Pocket Media drive for backups.  Thinking about the 1TB HP Personal Media drive since then I can plug it into any system, and back up my other systems as well, and still have plenty of storage capacity to spare.  My hats off to HP on this model, and MS as well.  My old Pentium 4/1.4GHz with only 256MB of memory is awful hard to use now after this purchase.  HP keep up the great work in Engineering of Hardware and Software, and bring us all more computer for the dollars in the future.

Really happy with my purchase despite the not-insignificant investment. The interface, display, ease of use and above all the seamless integration with both Strava and Ride with GPS makes me wish I got it sooner. Then you have navigation if you want it. Amazing job wahoo.

Being an infrastructure engineer that has hassled with networking equipment all his (this is the husband) life, all I can say is that in this case you are absolutely getting significantly more than you pay for. While I would recommend the LR variant for just slightly more, the ease of setup, intuitive management UI, scalability of the system, performance, and finish are unparalleled at this price point. It's a breath of fresh air, not having to futz with literally 100 features. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

This is the best electronic purchase I have EVER made! Set up was incredibly easy, and the remote is amazing. There is also a downloadable app for iPhone so I can use an alphanumeric keypad. Why? Because I'm able to access the internet and relax instead of being glued to a desk!

The apps contained in the unit are wonderful. I can access Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, iHeart radio, and much, much more. The only disappointment is the PS4 app is out of date and doesn't function, but my son has other consoles and PC games.

The Netflix Button on the remote is a godsend! One touch and I'm connected to my account. The Blue-Ray player is spot on. It has many settings to customize my viewing experience. I also can play standard DVD's.  I also was able to program my remote to control my TV. Thank you for such easy instructions!

In all, a small unit that tucks away nicely, and well worth the price. Thanks!

Just got this and couldn't be happier. Fantastic laptop.  Super easy to set up, great speed, lightweight and compact. Great features. I love the touch screen which is why I didn't do a Mac Book and passed on the latest Lenovo X260 (really Lenovo? Touch is not even an option in your latest Ultrabook?) I cant live without touch now that I have it in my tablet, laptop, Surface Pro 4, phone, etc.  The keyboard is so quiet, too, amazingly quiet. I love the trackpoint and the touchpad with the top clicks (sorry, don't remember the name). It was a spurge to get i7, 16mb of RAM, 1 TB of Hard drive, but it will keep me current for years and I'm glad I went top of line for a few hundred dollars more. Chat guys were also very helpful during purchase/decision process.
