Nice to hear you're almost there. Did you find the right TV yet?
Wi-Fi: As for the Jetpack, make sure it is compatible with 4G AND 3G. I've read others post that if there's not 4G lte signal, they're out of luck, although I have no first-hand knowledge on this and wonder if that information is correct.
BestBuy also sells Verizon JetPacks. Not sure if they're less expensive or not. The new ones supposedly have way better battery life.
Computers: We recently picked up a HP Pavilion with an i7 processor to replace an older laptop with an AMD processor. Haven't had the opportunity to play with it so don't know if it is a good choice or not. One possible problem is that it's a plastic case (heat issues? durability? Who knows).
Windows 10 comes out later this month, in case that makes a difference in your time table. I've read that it might or might not have Office built in.
MS Office (if you need that) now has a buy once version and a subscription-based/pay yearly version (Windows 365). Everyone on earth probably knew about this except me since, like the cleaning ladies, I don't do Windows.
Phones: TracFone has been good for us. We have one CDMA phone and one GSM. The GSM picks up old analog signals so once in awhile, in rural areas, it gets a signal when the other phone doesn't.
G-half is also saying he wants a Jack-Bauer-style flip phone. (Go figure).
Happy shopping!
