So now I have my high-speed online college workstation!

After considering the docking station designed for my Laptop - I looked into this Toshiba device as an alternative.  I checked it out first at Best Buy - where it was selling for $150.  Here at Amazon, it was 2/3rds of that price.

It arrived 2 working days after I ordered it - as promised.  Installation was a breeze - and the video display is terrific.  I need to upgrade my speakers to make the sound work right - but on my headset it sounds great.

This exact kit is over 70 bucks at bestbuy. Great buy!

I recently lost my other memory card like this in our move, so to be able to find an affordable replacement was a relief. I paid like $50 for my first one at Best Buy, so this was definitely a good deal to me! works well with digital  cameras with power shot.

Item listed on amazon for 199 but was out of stock.  Check your local best buy store and get it at the same 199 price.  Do not pay the inflated prices that are out there!

Recieved this a couple weeks back...  Did the following upgrades:
1) Corsair CSSD-F120GB2 - $110.00(or any Force controller SSD) = 7.7 HDD Experience Index.
2) HD/Optical Disk Caddy - newmodeus.com, 1 x Optical Bay Hard Drive Caddy(p/n OBHD9-SATA-SATA-B) Black, 9.5mm
(OBHD9-SATA-SATA-B)  = $42.00, which allowed me to put the 320GB HDD in, replacing the CD-ROM (which I never use).  This is for backup and media/game storage.
3) RAM Upgrage to 8GB =  1  Corsair CM3X8GSDKIT1066 XM...  $114.99

With these minor upgrades, the following is on the Windows Experience Index: 6.7
CPU - 6.9
Memory - 6.9
Desktop Graphics (with Radion) - 6.7
3D Gaming/Business - 6.7
Disk - 7.9

Boots in 15 seconds.  Runs ALL MS Office applications, virtually instantly.  This is particuliarly amazing given that the notebook get's 6HRs battery life, just flew 4 hours for X-Mas trip.  Looked at the Quad Core - i7's but could not justify the increased heat/decreased batters/increased price (only a 10% increase in performance).  This Proc. is perfect for business/graphics/prosumer gaming notebooks, look it up and compare peformance.  Kids watched HD movies the whole time, still had 40% battery when we landed.

Cons:
Plastic bottom (expected at this price/consumer notebook).
No e-sata, Firewire, or ExpressCard Slot.  Also, no encryption key for Bitlocker on MOBO (again, expected in this type of consumer NB)

[...]Would have gone with the ASUS UL30VT (the one that supports a CD in the 13.3 inch and NVidia 310 form factor, but only came with the i3 - 380 proc and upgrades were $350 to the Proc I wanted)

I was disappointed when my Tripp-Lite SMART1000LCD UPS began to fail, especially since the manual said there were no user replaceable parts in it. I'd paid more than $100 for it. Fortunately, I saw a video by Joseph Chavez on YouTube on how to replace the battery. The toughest part was finding a long, skinny Phillips screwdriver to reach the screws. Installing the Power Sonic battery was surprisingly easy. Now I have a functional UPS again at a fraction of the cost of buying a new one.

Time will tell how long the battery lasts. So far, it's been great. My one concern is that the battery suffered some damage during shipping because the seller, Sharp Gear, sent it in a padded USPS envelope with only a layer of bubble wrap around it. The lead protectors had fallen off. The battery had obviously been dropped and the top cover was partially dislodged. Why they didn't pack something this heavy in a box is beyond me. Currently, there are no signs that the damage has affected the battery's performance.

Works perfect, I looked at Best Buy and the the had similar ones for $30+, this does the same thing at a fraction of the cost!

Was surprised at how good it worked. Bought one new from best buy and at one third the price it works as good.

I needed to replace a broken wrist band, but decided upon price comparing to a refurbished FR 410.  The latter was the better choice.

Much to my delight, the refurbished model came with all the accessories normally included with a new FR 410.  It had what looked like a new strap and case, plus a couple of soft Velcro wrist band substitutes.  WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!  I can put a Velcro on my old FR 410 and use it as a backup.  The refurbished FR 410 should be virtually like new and programmable to the settings I had in the Training Data Fields.

Why buy a new wrist band with for a little over twice the cost, I got a full package with all the accessories with the refurbished model from Jet & Darter on Amazon on 4/15/2017 (I already had a heart rate monitor/strap and a foot pod)?  Current Amazon prices could be higher now.  I was lucky.  Photo does not show recharger wall plug unit or clip to watch.  Additional photos show the two soft bands (small and large) that came with refurbished kit, as well as original (check your box, if you still have it).  Next photo shows old FR 410 (left) with soft band replacing broken band, and the refurbished that looks virtually new.

The latest, greatest from Garmin is over 10x that amount.  Unless you are really using all those functions, you could get by with the FR 410 package quite well.  The old watch's battery was on its last legs.  Welcome refurbished!!!

After doing a lot of research I decided the Samsung LN52B550 was the best value for my money, but all of the local Fry's and Best Buys were out of stock. I finally found one at Sears and they matched Fry's price plus 10% of the difference. So I was happy with the price paid ($1101 plus tax and $10 electronic waste fee) I was pleasantly surprised that it only took about 10 minutes to get it out of the box and working with our Comcast cable + DVR box. I used the $3 HDMI cable found here on Amazon plus an APC 450 watt UPS to make sure undervoltage does not damage the new LCD. The whole solution is working flawlessly! I can't really see the red touch of color, it is very faint, but I do like the style of the TV with it's smoke edging. Also, one of my main reasons for purchasing this particular model is that it has a semi-matte LCD coating. Our old 50" Sony standard TV had terrible glare from the 3 big windows directly facing the TV. Our new Samsung has zero glare, except when the tv is dark (like dark scenes or when it's turned off) That's a huge deal for me as I hate living in the dark and my husband is a tv addict and was always closing the blinds. We haven't done any tuning yet, but the high definition channels are amazing! At least with default settings, the standard def channels look terrible and are restricted to a smaller portion of the screen in 16x9 mode which is the only tolerable setting. I probably won't bother trying to fix it since all channels we watch are available in HD.

I bought this model in late June of 2004 at Best Buy in Seattle for around $600.00 - It's now January and the TV is broken....just doesn't have a picture.  The "parts" are covered under warranty but it does NOT cover labor and every TV repair place is charging me $100 bucks an hour to fix.  I'm going to end up paying at least a 1,000 for this.  I've called Panasonic, I've called Best Buy and I pretty much get a "too bad" attitude.  Plus, from the consumer websites, I've been on...I"m not the only one.  Consider this a warning!!!

This is a good laptop and a great value for the purposes for which I bought it.
1) programming, due to the resolution and decent screen size.
2) playing my favorite games, which are TF2, SC2, WoW, and LoL
I could tell that from the specs, so I was not surprised.

The unexpected downsides:
The keyboard keys feel a bit strange and flimsy.
The speakers are not loud enough to watch shows as a group at maximum settings! (external speakers solves this problem easily)
I also did not expect the... grid shape of the up/down/left/right key and I really dislike how insert/delete are right next to them, but apparently this is now a very popular laptop keyboard layout.
=.= crappy pre-installed software -- I know less tech-savvy people need it.
Big and heavy power brick

The major unexpected upside:
I left my laptop with my roommates for a couple days, and I'm pretty sure they broke it accidentally. The verdict from ASUS was water damage to the LCD (WTF how the hell did they do that?!)

Anyways, I sent it in for RMA, and had to pay for shipping to ASUS, but that was it! This laptop was under a year old, so they fixed it for no charge at all under accidental damage warranty. They didn't even charge for shipping back! I did have to call in to get the RMA moving, as opposed to having their internet service work, but that is to be expected. The people on the phone understood that I was tech-savvy and allowed me to explain that I already tested all the basics such as a hard reset. Their RMA steps were also pretty clear. Fill in what you send, what you suspect the problem is, and any other problems you had, and they'll look at it. Wonderful, stress-free support!

In the future, don't trust your laptop with your mates unless you are BFFs, or you buy an ASUS ;)

My wife's power adapter on her eeePC went out suddenly and Best Buy wanted quite a bit of money to order a replacement.  I was initially worried due to the low price of the PWR+ replacement and assumed it would be just something to get her by until we could afford a better one.  I was surprised when it arrived, specifically due to the very nice packaging it came in.  It seemed to be more than just a cheap replacement, it seemed pretty solid.  The product itself had a similar feel that was more than the low price had me expecting.  Has been working great since it arrived and I have no desire to attempt to find a "better" more expensive replacement.

They made this product look like the sony battery which i would avoid, but compared to spending $80 for the same thing at best buy (i checked) its a great deal. The battery lasts just as long, if not longer and the charge time is reasonably short.
