Question: How do you like the keyboard?

As with most Microsoft products, great hardware, poor software, but oh well.Now I'm using this thing right now, and I never noticed the spacebar thing, but it's true, if you don't press the spacebar correctly and press it on the upper area, it's hard to press down. I've always pressed spacebars as they were meant to be pressed so I had no issues adjusting.The largest challenge with this keyboard is using home row correctly, Microsoft puts out products based on the standard, and has done this with its' Natural line since the start. I use my left hand correctly, my right, on my Logitech Elite, went all over the place; I can only imagine how wrong my right hand usage was. This keyboard forces you to relearn typing, for typing classes, a Natural keyboard would be perfect, it makes you type correctly. I don't much like the N key, but I've learned to use it and the M key correctly, no more hitting my enter key while going for quotes either.The zoom function is novelty, not necessity, it's fun to use normally but mostly useless otherwise, really exclusively for the always-in-office user, what they need to do is make it a scroll button too, it's highly sensitive and easy to use, which would make scrolling silky smooth in a way only overpriced mice manage.Therein lies the problem, the software is inferior to my cheapie Logitech Elite(Which had more functions I might add as well as better software.), there is hardly any customization to be had. There is no taskbar icon; most of the remapping done is through an interface integrated into the already well-hidden Keyboard area under the control panel. Remapping options are less than fantastic, the favorites keys are useless, the back and forward buttons will work with either a browser or a media player, not both, zoom cannot be reconfigured, and Mail only allows one indicated program to be opened.This is what is wrong with the favorite's keys, they allow but five programs to be opened, you cannot indicate that you wish to open a menu of programs to select, merely one program per key, same with all of the other keys. The lack of "My" keys for the F# Buttons is annoying, but that's just a design decision for a non-media keyboard, and I don't mind much.This keyboard would've done better to have more configuration and just a couple more media keys, but I suppose it's my fault for asking that much of it, it's designed for the office, not a music listeners hands. I'll go into the aesthetics of this baby now to round it off.Some may notice the shift keys are smaller, and the enter key even smaller, the right of the keyboard is larger than the left in the way of keys, which seems fine, to me at least, I find reaching the Backspace key uncomfortable, placing your hands on this keyboard is like a match made in heaven, seems a shame to reach so far away and break off from paradise.That leads me to this palm rest, wow, sick of those cheap detachable plastic palm rests(Read: Wrist Destroyers)? This is your ticket, so soft, yet strong, it's the cashmere of palm wrests. The 2x3 layout is back to normal, which I very much enjoy, insert is back home and delete is too. The keys above the numpad offer more functions that I have yet to use, but are nice to have all the same, the curvature of the keys takes getting used to, particularly the aforementioned N key and it's sibling the M key. The Alt, Ctrl, Windows, Menu, and Start keys are all gigantic and hard to miss, they feel pretty great.The spacebar, apparently if struck correctly, is amazing, it's designed for this keyboard in a way that no spacebar has ever been, it's almost destructive of what you're typing looking down while you type, seeing it all functioning the way it does, it's almost like some kind of alien technology, which is why I don't look.The...crappy plastic attachment that comes attached(Oddly enough) to this masterpiece is best taken out(Easily) and forgotten, it's all personal preference of course, I didn't like it, the slope of the keys makes leaving your hands where they are painless and then very comfortable. The prop-ups on the back make it more conventional and I rather like them, but now the size.This keyboard is undeniably the largest keyboard I have ever laid eyes on, the sheer width and height is enough to make a laptop user gawk for moments at a time, it is critical you have a large amount of desk space to place this on, I didn't, and I had to move my entire PC over more to the left just to manage a nice cozy fit. When the legs on this baby are propped it also reaches monitor height, I.E., it will not fit very well under a monitor, which is why it is best used in a keyboard tray, though I'd worry about it's large scale hurting the tray after a long enough time.In conclusion, this is a masterful piece of hardware, and it has virtually no flaws, the software is pathetic at best and obviously designed for the dullard worker drone, it's a pity really, all the same, it deserves four stars, here's to hoping they manage to improve the boring, bland software.8/10 (Not an average)

Question: How is ear?

These headphones are strong, well built, good looking. Sound wise they are quite capable of sounding loud and full based on hooking up to a ipod nano. They are bassy. If you like bass, you will like the sound of these.What I didn't like about these is the fit. Even though the band has stretched after certain period of time, I still find them uncomfortable. I can listen to these for an hour or so. Then I find my ears feel hot and these headphones are pressing my ears. Then again I am spoiled by the comfort and lightness of the bose OE2 which has become my default over the ear headphones of choice.So if you like bass, ad are used to over the ear headphones that are of a tight fit, you will likely love these. For me personally, I use them less often as they are uncomfortable for me. These are the design and I can't hold it against the manufacturer. Therefore I minused only one star.

Question: How useful is this cutout?

Question: Is this phome comes with a charger?

I've only been using this charger for a week, but in that time I've had no issues with it.  I mention this because I have heard that accessories like this tend to work great in the beginning and then die suddenly after 2 months, and I also plan to follow up on the review.  For now, I will say that this charger is great.  It is designed really well and tastefully- the black and silver look sleek and the illuminated blue "M" is beyond nice.  The quality of the materials exceeded my expectations- it's not cheap or flimsy feeling at all.  I use it to charge my HTC Incredible 2, and it does so quickly and without problems.  The cord is a comfortable length and the coil keeps it from becoming an annoyance.  Love it so far!**Update:  After 3 months of daily use, I've run into a problem.  The plug seems to not fit the por quite right anymore, and now charges only if it is in the perfect position.  Not happy about that.

Question: How quality is the connector?

This cable is excellent.  I have not had any type of problem with it at all.  The cable has worked on every product that I have used it on.  For the price of the cable, you can't beat it.  There is no point in buying an expensive cable that is only going to be outdated in a few months.  This hdmi gives you the picture and the quality that you need for any component.  Highly recommended that you buy it.

Question: How was the sound?

These headphones are my first pair of Bluetooth ear buds. The ear pieces themselves are huge! You really need to adjust it correctly in order to keep it in. Then again, my ears are pretty tiny. I don't know about the other reviews that say the bass is rubbish, when it's amazing. It's not $200 headphones, were you would except the best bass, but the bass is excellent for the price. The fact that it's water resistant is even greater. The battery life is okay for me. I only listen to music about 1-3 hours a day, so it's perfect for me. Call quality isn't that great though. My friends had a hard time hearing me. Still, the best ear buds i have owned in general. I would recommend it.

Question: Is it product?

Still getting used to the menu so four stars.  I ordered from Amazon warehouse used like new and saved a good amount.  Charged it, did a firmware update (on windows 8 it worked better with with a manual update), put some audio books on and put some music on a micro SD card and put it in.  Starts where it left off, has good sound quality, weighs almost nothing, takes Micro SD cards.  Costs less than $20.  This thing is great for working out, mowing the grass, in the car for WMA books from the library, etc.

Question: Is the unit easy to configure?

If you have a big house with multiple floors and/or outdoor areas of your home where you would like to receive good wifi coverage, this is a great choice for a range extender.  Probably would be a good primary router as well, but I use it as a range extender. I now get 3 bars downstairs where I used to get zero signal, and 4 bars out on the deck.I wish I could say the set up was easy, but because my wifi router is 7 years old and was set to WEP security it wasn't the simplest to get it to work. I had to call tech support. Thankfully the woman was incredibly helpful. She walked me through switching my router's security type to WPA and then the set up for the Almond Securifi was a breeze. So if you've got a newer main router to begin with, or at least one not using outdated security types, you'll probably just plug it in, click on the signal from your current router in the list, enter your router password, then wait 30 seconds for the Almond to do the rest. You'll then see a graphic showing the connection and can just direct your devices to the new signal instead of the old one. She was also going to show me how to merge the listings for the two signals, so that only one would show instead of ABC and ABC_almond, but I actually prefer seeing the two separate.I love that you can visually see the connection, and that each morning when I plug both devices in again, since I unplug both devices overnight (don't want to expose myself to more electromagnetics than necessary), within just seconds it finds all its settings and there are those green visuals showing the connection again. No need to reconfigure anything.It's also quite small and sleek looking, so not an eyesore in the middle of the kitchen (the halfway point in my house).  I like it so much that when I decide to retire my old router I will definitely be getting a second one of these. It's signal is also not quite strong enough to cover my entire property with just one (has range of 100 ft), but with two of them I'll be in great shape.Special bonus, if you are a T-mobile cell user, you already know you can use your wifi connection to make calls and send texts/surf the web. So extending your wifi range to all of your property, not just where your computer is, will be even more worthwhile.  Just be sure to unplug all this wireless stuff when everyone goes to bed at night if you're going to amp up the coverage so that it's hitting the bedrooms too. You'll sleep better. (Test it yourself and see if you don't.)

So if you've got a newer main router to begin with, or at least one not using outdated security types, you'll probably just plug it in, click on the signal from your current router in the list, enter your router password, then wait 30 seconds for the Almond to do the rest. You'll then see a graphic showing the connection and can just direct your devices to the new signal instead of the old one. She was also going to show me how to merge the listings for the two signals, so that only one would show instead of ABC and ABC_almond, but I actually prefer seeing the two separate.I love that you can visually see the connection, and that each morning when I plug both devices in again, since I unplug both devices overnight (don't want to expose myself to more electromagnetics than necessary), within just seconds it finds all its settings and there are those green visuals showing the connection again. No need to reconfigure anything.It's also quite small and sleek looking, so not an eyesore in the middle of the kitchen (the halfway point in my house). I like it so much that when I decide to retire my old router I will definitely be getting a second one of these. It's signal is also not quite strong enough to cover my entire property with just one (has range of 100 ft), but with two of them I'll be in great shape.Special bonus, if you are a T-mobile cell user, you already know you can use your wifi connection to make calls and send texts/surf the web. So extending your wifi range to all of your property, not just where your computer is, will be even more worthwhile. Just be sure to unplug all this wireless stuff when everyone goes to bed at night if you're going to amp up the coverage so that it's hitting the bedrooms too. You'll sleep better. (Test it yourself and see if you don't.)

<hl> I wish I could say the set up was easy <hl> , but because my wifi router is 7 years old and was set to WEP security it wasn't the simplest to get it to work.


Question: Does this headphone look better?

These wireless headphones are really awesome! The base unit comes with a phono plug to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter, and then a 3.5 mm headphone jack to left/right RCA audio adapter. The base unit has nice, long RCA cables on it. They are not heavily shielded or anything, but they are on par with a good set of headphone wires.The wireless has worked awesome for me! No static or noise or any interference! I was worried that there might be a slight amount of static due to all of my computer and electronic devices planted only inches away from the Sennheiser base unit. I have not had a single issue at all! Amazing!The headphones have a on/off switch on the left ear cup. It also houses the 2 x AAA batteries (rechargeable ones that were included). The right ear cup has two dials. One for volume, and one to tune the headphones. The volume is fine, no problems. However, I find the "tune" dial to be a little archaic. The base unit itself has a toggle switch that lets you select between 3 channels. I have 3 units, all set to different channels, so I can tune into which ever one I want to at the time, and my brother and sister can too. I would have preferred a similar switch to have been present on the headphones, even though it is easy as pie to tune the signal in, and you have a good wide range where you get superb sound (unlike some tuning devices where you have that magical sweet-spot that is harder than a fruit-cake to get perfect so you don't have static). The headset itself is also a bit heavy, so if you plan on leaning forward with them on, be ready to keep them from sliding off your head. Not too bad, considering they have batteries and all.The price is not too bad! And, being made by Sennheiser, these headphones are great! If you are looking for a wireless headset, I recommend these, unless you are looking to spend MUCH more, or are willing to gamble on quality. I was amazed to find the Sennheiser RS120's at such a great price and such awesome performance!

Question: How do you like the installation?

I have an AMD FX-8120 8-Core Black Edition and the stock fan was noisy and not very effective. I mainly play Black Ops 2 and I was starting to worry about overheating from a few hours worth of game play. Part of it has to do with your ambient room temperature, but that fan just couldn't keep up.This liquid cooler was easy to install, looks great, and was very affordable. The mounting is likely to be more solid than the standard flip down lever because you are able to tighten with thumb screws on an AMD board. You do want to tighten them down a little at a time so you don't have one side lifted or put more pressure on one side than the other.Others said that the instructions were poor but I didn't have any issues following. It was easier to assemble than anything I have gotten from IKEA and that stuff is usually easy to assemble.I would buy again and for sure recommend it to anyone that wants to protect their investment.

Question: What did you think of the modem signal?

I always like to buy Cisco products if the prices are right. This item does take a little away from speed but not even noticeable if you are on a faster network. It certainly works as described and fairly simple to set up. I had a little trouble the first time I tried and had to reset to clear the settings I put in but once it was reset I was able to go in and successfully set it up no problem. Now I have almost full signal all through my house and a good ways around it too instead of the front two rooms that I got with the stock wireless router. Bought this in the past and would certainly purchase again.

Question: How is the quality of the drive?

I'm always in search of a solid USB drive that won't break off of my key chain that I keep clipped to my hip.  It's a very small, all-metal enclosure, which I don't see bending or breaking.  I did read that some people had the electronics slip out of the bottom (which upon inspection seems completely possible if the glue gives up), so I put a small piece of tape around the bottom as insurance against that.  It's not the fastest writing drive, but a slightly slower drive is better than a drive that has broken off my key chain and has gone missing completely!

Question: Is the design nice?

Been looking for a keyboard for my ipad for a while and happened upon this. I've had good luck with New Trent's stuff so I thought I'd give it a shot. I really like the fact that it doubles as a case (hence the clamshell) when closed up. The Blutooth keyboard pairs in a snap and works great. Love the added function keys (home button, etc.) and found the size more than comfortable to type on. I've had this on my ipad for a while. I thought this would be one of those things I'd use solely for travel but the truth is this case/keyboard has stayed on my iPad since I bought it. The matte finish is nice and I love that it's not emblazoned with stupid logos.  Doesn't add a lot of weight and I really like the adjustability of the screen angle. Battery life is pretty terrific, too. One other nice thing - I like being able to 'detach' the iPad and set that up as a separate piece from the keyboard. There are some other nice touches - the rubber feet, the fact that you can change from portrait to landscape. Once you remove the iPad from the arm, the hard plastic case stays with it so conceivably you could just travel with that. It's not perfect - I realized carrying it in my bag that it is just a little heavier than I would like. And it would be nice if the hinge had a ratchet action. But overall this is a really nice set up, and I've had experience with a number of these types of keyboards. All in all, I'm really happy with it.

Question: How loud does the bass sound?

I had been looking for a replacement for my old Sony monitor headphones.I was thinking about 5.1 or wireless ones and then a few days ago the V-MODA was a today's deal.After reading the reviews and checking some Audiophile review sites I decided to give them a try.Checking the packaging and carry case top notch and the two braided kevlar cables are the best I have seen on a set of cans.Now the sound excellent right out the box blows the Sonys away.I have two pairs of Ultimate Ears that have great sound the V-Modas beats them.I use Flim & the BB's Tricycle to test any audio components because I know what its supposed to sound like.The highs are crisp and the bass sounds the way it's meant to be.Some say the bass is overpowering I don't think so not like Beats that sound terrible.I'm burning them so the sound should get even better.I very happy with this deal.

Question: Do you have a good screen?

I really love my macbook air, and I seriously considered buying another one for my kids to use. Then this little guy showed up. I was sold when Engadget said it was 80% of the macbook air experience at a fraction of the price. I'd say it's more like 60% of the macbook air experience, but that's still an incredible deal for the price.Drawbacks:You can't print. You can set up google cloudprint but I haven't gotten it to work yet. You can't do anything that isn't inside a web browser. 95% of my computer usage is inside google chrome anyway, so that's not a huge deal for me as a second computer. You can't edit video or do anthing else that requires more than a simple file system and a web browser.Advantages:The keyboard and touchpad are near-mackbook quality. That makes them better than 70 percent of all laptops out there. Not a small thing. I love the two-finger scrolling which you can reverse so it works like a mac. Google calls it simple scrolling. There is two-finger right click too.The screen is fine. I wish I could put the bottom-of-the-screen launcher bar on the side of the screen to save precious vertical pixels.Interface is good. I set up separate user account for each of my kids. Not as smooth as a mac but smoother than windows 7.Build quality is better than your average laptop but not up to macbook standards. Considering the price it's amazingly well put together.Bottom line:  For someone like me who spends most of my computer time in chrome for mac, this is a natural second computer. It would be great for a student computer. If you want to edit videos or do other things that don't work very well in a web browser you should look elsewhere.You could easily spend three times this much and get a computer with a lesser keyboard, lesser touchpad, and inferior build quality.

Question: What do you think about the performance?

Other than some confusion when configuring the various settings, this wireless/broadband router has been great.  Performance and coverage has been great everywhere in my home.  I have no complaints about how this works.  We've even seen a drop in overall electrical usage over the previous router we had.The one issue I have with this router is in the configuration.  There are a large number of options that aren't described well.  Without a deep knowledge of wireless/routing terms I would have been lost.  I also would have liked the firewall in this router to have a stealth mode like my previous routers (see grc dot com for a description of stealth mode).  But, it works, and once configured, there are no problems.

Other than some confusion when configuring the various settings, this wireless/broadband router has been great. <hl> Performance and coverage has been great <hl> everywhere in my home. I have no complaints about how this works. We've even seen a drop in overall electrical usage over the previous router we had.The one issue I have with this router is in the configuration. There are a large number of options that aren't described well. Without a deep knowledge of wireless/routing terms I would have been lost.

Question: Do you have a big problem?

I've owned 4 Kindles so far and they all perform very well.  The one major drawback is the power cord connection.  It is not durable at all and you have to be very careful not to move the Kindle while it's plugged in. I had to replace 3 Kindles in the last 2 years and thankfully it was under warranty.  I don't have the the new version HDX Kindle yet so I can't comment on those.

Question: How is the screen?

The first one of these I bought was over a year ago for a home office. Job changed so the monitor became part of a multi display home office along with a Dell monitor from years ago.The difference in picture quality is enough that I got another Asus to replace the dell. The Asus monitor is much brighter, higher contrast, and deeper colors. Text is easier to read. This is in all ambient light conditions I've had to deal with. These are the VS247H-P 23.6 inch displays.About the stand. It is not up to the job. If your desk is rock solid it will hold the monitor, but if you have desks that shudder every time someone passes by, or when you nudge it inadvertently, the monitor will wobble annoyingly. Dell does have solid stands on the monitors they sell. So when I ordered the second I didn't bother attaching the stand. Instead I removed the "neck" and attached both monitors to a two monitor VESA compliant stand:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R9HQLI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1Now they are both rock solid (or at least as solid as the cheap desk they're on). If you get a single monitor consider one of the monitor stands Amazon sells for single displays.Haven't attempted the rebate process. I'll report back on that.

Question: How are the results?

It's much too difficult to navigate and download files.  Everything needs an app.  I have discovered that I don't have much use for it.  I thought that I would be able to use this chromebook as a sort of easy-to-carry backup for my desktop.  I am able to download files but I am not able to access the information.  For three days all I did was download one app after another as instructed and I am still not able to access file download from my desktop.  Fortunately, I have found someone willing to purchase this item for less than I paid along with the two books I purchased to help me learn to use it.Lesson learned:  I really needed to do more research before buying another notebook or computer.

Question: How is design?

I was interested in using this router to replace a DLink-655, which has been having intermittent connection failures requiring a reboot. I have a fairly large area that i want to cover. Note that unlike a typical router user, I specifically wanted to use this as an access point, thus my use case and experience are a bit different than typical.Overall, I was very pleased with this router.Because I couldn't figure out from the documentation how to set it up as an access point, i contacted tech support. I expected a response within a day or so. They responded in less than half a day with detailed instructions.Setup an install was very fast and easy. Basically, needed the router to the LAN and replace the internet connection on a computer, then access it via IP. This was all very simple to do. After that, needed to configure the two wireless band configurations and a few other settings. The overall menu system on the router is well laid out, with good explanations and has a good depth of controllable features. Responsiveness is quite fast. For the configuration i was doing i needed to do a software reboot, and that kept the connection nicely throughout.Once i setup the router, connections were strong and solid. I've used both bands without issues. Signal seems good and stable. I'm also running a number of direct lines from the router as well as the wireless connections. All is good.

Question: How is drive?

I purchased one of these drives to replace a drive that died in my parents computers (drive that died was ~5 or 6 year old Maxtor.) I've always been a fan of the Barracuda line and the price was right so I jumped on this drive. My parents need almost no storage to check their e-mail and surf the web so this drive was perfect!

Question: Do you have good image quality?

AmazonBasics are a fantastic value for quality of cable you get.  No need to spend any more money on a "high quality" name brand cable for even the most demanding AV equipment.  AmazonBasics will perform just the same, as they must meet the same specifications and the signal is digital.  A digital signal, is simply there, or not.I've purchased a few of the AmazonBasics optical interconnects, HDMI's and now this HDMI to DVI.  All great!  I highly the digital cables.

Question: How is the bass?

I got these on amazon about a day ago, i got them to work out with, not the best choice i know but i love good sound quality and with a Trusted name like Klipsch that is what i got. The sound is great, good bass nice Sound isolation due to the rubber ear molds. They sit differently then any other headphones iv had and even running on my readmill they have yet to fall out of my ear. I also got them on sale for 55$ due to them being open box from a Vendor on amazon so that was key in buying them also. The one flaw with this product that I see has already been mentioned is that the Cord is very thin... thin to the point that im worried i will break it or pull it loose at some point. Other then that these are great and the sound isolation is very good.

Question: How is the unit?

I bought the H100 as part of a new gaming computer setup. Living in Texas means a base temperature indoors of about 80F for much of the year and I've had some bad issues with overheating and crashing on my previous rig when playing games.Installation on an Intel based mainboard was painless (AMD looks slightly more intimidating from the manual). In fact, it was not harder than installing a stock cooler and absolutely nothing when compared with the complexity of traditional waterbased cooling systems. It comes with pre-applied thermal paste that does the job just fine, although I suspect you could get even better cooling results with high end thermal paste. The H100 installs very conveniently in the case and does not clutter up the interior at all, which I consider a definite plus.The cooling performance of the product is excellent, and better than what Corsair advertises on the box. The difference to the stock cooler that came with my processor is dramatic, double digit degrees on all settings. The H100 has three speed settings for the fans controlled via a button located on top of the part attached to the CPU. Unless you have an easily accessible case, you will likely not be changing fan speeds very much. There's apparently an additional hardware product that can be used to control the fans from an optional front panel, but I have not found it necessary to change speed away from the minimum setting unless I seriously overlock my CPU.The noise profile of the device is great, but certainly not silent, as long as it is not set to it's maximum speed setting.Some words of caution: This cooler requires some serious space and there are not many cases on the market that will work with it outside the box. On my Level 10-GT gaming case installing it meant removing one of the 210mm fans that came preinstalled to allow installation of this one. Do yourself a favor and do some research if your case has space for the H100 (The grill slightly larger than the 2 fans attached to it).Bottom line: Excellent cooler, comparatively easy installation, decent noise profile. Easiest water-cooling solution I've ever installed. Acceptable price.

Question: How is the quality?

Short answer: good quality, reasonable price, excellent customer service.I have zero complaints about these cables.  I bought two: one for the XBox 360 and another for the 3D Blu-ray player in the bedroom.  The construction quality is as good, if not better, than the more popular branded HDMI cables. These cables are thick and feel durable.As far as performance goes, I haven't noticed any lag or problems for either 3D gaming or 3D Blu-ray movies.The shipping was fast. The cables came in minimal packaging (no excessive plastic shells to cut through or overload of marketing garbage that tell you zero about the technical specs.The price was what HDMI cables should cost.  I'm not sure why Blu-ray and HDTV manufacturers can't include an HDMI cable with their products; it has to cost about the same to manufacture an HDMI cable as it does to make the set of composite cables they still include for some reason.  Mediabridge seems to have found the perfect balance of quality and cost--I hope they don't change their prices as they gain popularity.I was also surprised to get a thank you e-mail for choosing these cables.  I usually don't like getting e-mails from companies about products, but this one was short and to the point.  It thanked me for my purchase, and listed a customer support number, should I encounter any problems.  There was no mention of their other products or services; no attempt to sell me warranties or anything else I'm not actively looking for.It's nice to see a company put customer service and satisfaction ahead of their investors and shareholders.  It seems that most companies have forgotten their biggest and most important investors are their customers.
