Lowest TCO of any label printer on the market
2 of 2 found this helpful The P-Touch XL8000 has the lowest TCO of any label printer I've found on ebay. (Prices swing a little, of course, but this machine consistently has the lowest TCO.)
Note: These machines are the size of typewriters, or the size of several laptops stacked on top of each other. They seem intended for desktop use, but are rugged enough to be carried around every day.
The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of a label printer is the
1. cost of the machine
2. cost of accessories (e.g., case, AC adapter)
3. cost of batteries
4. cost of LABEL TAPES
1. The machines are available used, for a fraction of the cost of a similar new machine.
2. They come with an AC adapter, case, and manual most of the time. A PDF manual are easily found with a web search.
3. They use a 7-cell NiCd rechargeable sub-C flat pack. Mine was dead, but replacement batteries are available on eBay.
4. You know how You always wanted to open up a P-Touch label cartridge and just replace the stuff on the spool? Now You can!
The magic is that the P-Touch 8000 uses CX/RX cartridges. CX cartridges take RX refills. The RX refills come in boxes of 4, but only in 2 colors.
+ RX-2514 is wide 1" black on white.
+ RX-2511 is 1" wide black on clear.
These machines also take TX tapes in many widths and colors.
The CX/RX cartridges and refills do not have a laminated covering over the text, so it does not peel off when they are used as wire labels.
I don't know why Brother P-Touch doesn't make these machines their flagship labelers again. They are far superior to any o f the current production machines (the ones that use TZ labels).

Good BT Keyboard, works with PCs, bad touch pad
1 of 1 found this helpful 1. The keyboard is a good, full size, light weight, reasonably rugged keyboard.
2. It works with any PC that has BT.
3. The touchpad needs the settings adjusted in Windows or it just jumps around, and then it is not a very good touch pad. It can be made to work, but You will dislike the touchpad.

Geeky smart watch, not an actifity tracker
The watch is packed full of features. You can stream music from your cell to the watch, or use it to catch the person messing with your phone. The watch is attractive, and is much smaller than I expected. It is very light (too bad they didn't include a decent battery!)
The compass does not work.
It is NOT an activity tracker. I have used at least 3 other heart rate monitors, all of which worked for me. This one never got a measurement. The sleep monitor did not work, and drained the battery. The pedometer needs to be turned on, as in that may be the only thing the watch can do while it's on. Forget tracking sleep and activity with this piece of junk.
It would not be so bad if not for the fact that the watch blows up with notifications about the watch.
The battery does not come close to lasting one day. Maybe you could buy 2 or 3 and swap them out throughout the day?
The IR remote did not work with my TV, but I only spent maybe 2 minutes toying with it.
