Question: How is the software?

This drive is very fast, the included software from Samsung is pretty good, including the imaging software which is fast and easy to use.  Beware trying to use USB to Sata adapters if your going to image a drive to this SSD. (like switching out your boot drive to this like I did.)  IF your using the included Samsung software, as I did, it will not recognize the SSD connected to any of the three that I have tried, but your mileage may vary.

Question: How is the case?

I bought this case to hold my Seagate Expansion 1.5 TB USB 3.0 HDD (STAX1500102). It fits perfectly, snug with no room to move around. The cable also fits just right in the left side sleeve. The fact that the case is hard means it is great for travel and means no worries when putting it into a backpack or carry-on.

Question: How is the software?

So, a one star is pretty harsh.Especially considering that I still use the G13, and aside from the Nostromo (before Razer took it over), it's the best out there of its kind. Fortunately for Logitech there aren't many companies bothering to design these types of keypads.It's made well enough. No complaints regarding the build quality.The problems lay in the design.I don't know who designed the thumb stick, but if you don't replace it yourself (which requires taking the device apart, or gluing/sanding) it's just terrible as a AWSD input. Anyways, I would fire the designer of it. He clearly is not good. Even the five star reviews will tell you that.The LCD is a gimmick. I don't know what else to say about it. The only reason you'll probably use it is to swap profiles, which I'll mention in the next part.The software is terrible. Sometimes you'll have to program the device every time you boot up, because the file won't save correctly. Even worse is that it will sometimes revert back to an older setting, or lose a profile, months after you thought it finally was working.So, what does this all mean. Well, because the Nostromo is no longer as good as it once was, we're pretty much stuck with the G13. On the other hand, Logitech did a terrible job on it, considering the price point. It's basically a bunch of keys, a worthless LCD screen, a terrible joystick, and bad software to make it worse.Hopefully a competitor will go into this niche field and design something better. Logitech is obviously more interested in making it look fancy, than having it work well.***EDIT***Well, at the time of this editing "0 of 7 people found this review helpful." It's possible that all of them work at Logitech; who knows. I've adjusted the review to now be 3 stars, mostly because I was probably a little overly harsh. The fact is, I still own and use my G13. It's not perfect, especially considering the price point for what is essentially a mini keyboard with a silly LCD and bad joystick, but it's still the best product in the niche field (once modified by the owner). That said, if Razer goes back to the quality of the original Nostromo produced by Belkin, then I will be switching brands.

Question: How is the case?

KeyboardThe keyboard on this case is very nice.  The keys have a really nice feel to them.  It is small because it is the width of the iPad, but it is still very functional.  I really like the extra function buttons (home, brightness adjustment, volume adjustment, copy, paste, and media conrols.  I find myself using the volume controls a lot - much better than finding the right side of the iPad with the controls and hitting the wrong one by mistake!  I am typing this review on the keyboard and it is working really well.  I havee also used the keyyboard forr several hours and have not neeededd to charge it once yet.Case/StandThe case overall is very sturdy.  It has a nice solid, slightly heavy feel to it.  I assume the weight is due to the battery.  The case closes tightly and has a nice latch to keep it closed.  Another positive with the case is that it is very configurable.  There are a lot of different orientations that you can place the iPad in (portrait, landscape, folded over on top of the keyboard).  There is a groove at the top of the keyboard for resting the iPad in so it doesn't move when you touch it.  Unfortunately, I have found it slightly awkward to get the iPad in the groove because it requires sliding a latch on the back of the keyboard and pulling the stand part of the case sligtly out of the keyboard.My favorite way to use the case is on a table.  I pull the iPad and stand completely out of the keyboard and place it several inches behind the keyboard.  It makes it very easy to sit down and knock out some emails withough having to use the on-screen keyboard.  It is very handy to be able to remove the iPad but keep the stand attached, without needing the keyboard.  I have used it several times this way as well.The case also has the ability to detach the iPad from the keyboard and stand entirely.  It is very quick and easy to remove it by using a camera lens cap type of connector.  The iPad itself sits in a thin plastic case that wraps around the sides and back of the iPad.  it's not incredibly protective and I'm not sure how it would handle a drop, but it's much better than no case and does offer scratch protection for the back of the iPad.OverallThis case works well as a case for a family iPad.  It can be used with the keyboard for doing text-intensive work, then with just the stand for watching videos or playing games.  It's also quick to pop off of both to hand it to the kids to use, while still offering some protection.  The keyboard feels and works great and the case is solid and very adjustable, with just a few small quirks

Question: How is day?

I love this trackball. I wasn't sure if I would...I was a user of the old mouse plug & then the USB model of the red ball model way back in the mid & late 90's before they had a scroll wheel....it just had 3 buttons. This one is great but I still find myself looking for 3 buttons from time to time...but really love how I can use it on my Idea Pad y510p which has a horrible touch pad (although everything else about the laptop is great!). It makes surfing the web or doing work on the sofa much easier since I can rest the trackball on the arm of the sofa.

Answer: can use it on my Idea

Question: How is the strap?

I really love this bag. Its not too big neither too small the size is just the proper one. I have a Nikon D5100 and it fits very well and I like the fact that the camera with the kit lens on doesn't reach the bottom of the bag. Also the camera feels safe and tight in place. Also the pockets are very helpful and the straps to hold a tripod seems to hold well a tripod there. Also is very comfortable to wear it. However if you have a lot of stuff you might need something bigger, for me works fine since I don't have to many this to carry there yet (1 DSLR, Kit lens, 1 remote, 1 charger, the cables, lens cleaning kit, sometimes cell phone, etc).

Question: Can I get the best quality cord?

While I dont like paying $10 for a cable, I suppose it's understandable for new technology.  The cord is really nice, very well built, and works very well.  For the price, it's an excellent cord.  It is sturdy feeling, well constructed, it doesn't look cheap and it seems to be of a high quality.  I was skeptical, as I usually only buy high quality wires, but the HDMI cables by those manufacturers where extremely expensive.  I dont think I would have seen a tremendous difference in performance from say a Monster Cable and one of these.  I think its worth the money for sure.  :)

Question: How is the picture quality?

I read other reviews about this model but was hoping I wouldn't experience the same issue.  Out of the box, set the TV up in my bedroom, and the TV kept turning "off" on its own!  Called Samsung and I'd have to take it about 15 miles to a repair shop (under warranty).  Since many others on here stated they had this constant "turns itself OFF" flaw with this model, I'm returning it via UPS tomorrow.If there is good news, the picture looked great and Amazon.com handles returns quickly via this website.UPDATE AUGUST, 2013:  I ordered another via Amazon's refurbished/returned models and this one works great.  Picture quality is clear and I used other's settings mentioned on here for the picture adjustments.  I would recommend this model now.

Question: What is the danger range?

I was skeptical when ordering this product.  I had never before heard of TP-Link.  Because this router is available for less than $70, I had real reservations on just how well it would do in a real working environment.I was pleasantly surprised to find out from a performance standpoint, there was not much difference from the "big names."  After EASY set-up, I began using the router in my small insurance agency.  I didn't tell my Office Manager I had changed routers.  I waited for her reaction.  She never even noticed the difference between the TP-Link N600 and our previous Netgear WNDR4500 which, incidentally, was double the price.The wireless performance of the N600 router turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Even though the router is less than half the cost of some of the "big name" routers, there is no lacking of performance whatsoever.  You may not like the look of a router with its external antennas, but there is no doubt the router utilizes the design effectively.  The speed is outstanding and the range is exceptional.All in all, TP-Link N600 comes equipped with ALMOST every major function you could want from a router.  It is MISSING a 'Guest Network' feature which allows you to have separate security and access restrictions for guests accessing your network.  Other than that, I believe this router can certainly compete with the "big names."Adding to my satisfaction, the TP-Link N600 comes complete with a 2-year limited warranty.The TP-Link N600 is a very impressive dual-band router that performs like the "big names" but costs about half the price.  It doesn't have the most attractive interface, but it isn't lacking many features.  Those looking for a best buy for the money, the TP-Link N600 is really hard to beat.

She never even noticed the difference between the TP-Link N600 and our previous Netgear WNDR4500 which, incidentally, was double the price.The wireless performance of the N600 router turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Even though the router is less than half the cost of some of the "big name" routers, there is no lacking of performance whatsoever. You may not like the look of a router with its external antennas, but there is no doubt the router utilizes the design effectively. <hl> The speed is outstanding and the range is exceptional <hl>.All in all, TP-Link N600 comes equipped with ALMOST every major function you could want from a router. It is MISSING a 'Guest Network' feature which allows you to have separate security and access restrictions for guests accessing your network. Other than that, I believe this router can certainly compete with the "big names."Adding to my satisfaction, the TP-Link N600 comes complete with a 2-year limited warranty.The TP-Link N600 is a very impressive dual-band router that performs like the "big names" but costs about half the price. It doesn't have the most attractive interface, but it isn't lacking many features. Those looking for a best buy for the money, the TP-Link N600 is really hard to beat.

<hl> The speed is outstanding and the range is exceptional <hl> .All in all, TP-Link N600 comes equipped with ALMOST every major function you could want from a router.


Question: How is the bag?

This bag is soo perfect for my Canon XS camera. And I'm so confident with it, that when it falls, I don't worry. It has a suspension system inside, that keeps the camera away from the sides. I don't regret nothing about this bag.

Question: How was the case at that time?

Initial thoughts: The v1.0 of the Airbender while a capable case, lacks some of the features of its v2.0 counterpart.  Namely a rubberized/anti-slip external surface and a more complete structure for surrounding the iPad, including a screen protector.  However, in a closed position, the iPad is enclosed in the case.A major feature which I’ve found lacking in other manufacturer’s options is the full keyboard with two shift keys.  For anyone who has any typing skills, a singular shift key will frustrate you after a very short time.The Airbender v1.0 like v2.0 has the ability to tilt the screen at various angles.  One feature that is present in v1.0 and not in v2.0 is the very pronounced groves to rest the iPad in while fully opened.  There are two groves that can accommodate various viewing angles.Additionally the iPad can be rotated between landscape and portrait to accommodate varied applications.The LED’s for CAPS, CHRG and BT are very bright and serve their purpose well.  By comparison, other cases I’ve used have very dim LEDs making it very difficult to see if one is illuminated.Final thoughts: I give the Airbender v1.0 a rating of 4/5.  While lacking a few features, the Airbender v1.0 is still a nice case and has features that excel when compared with some of its competitors many of which cost more.  With the rotatable screen, various viewing angles and the full keyboard, this case is quite functional.

Question: How is the one?

I purchased a few of these since they are small, well priced, and designed well.  The loop on the end can be used to attach the device to a keychain or lanyard.  I especially like the all-metal simple design.  I didn't want a huge plastic USB stick that would be awkward to carry all the time, so this worked out well.  The design is simple and elegant, and the device works as advertised.  It's USB v2.0, but it isn't advertised as a v3.0/SuperSpeed device so no surprise there.  The 16GB version is hardly more costly than the 8GB (at least when I purchased it) so it's definitely the way to go.

Question: Is the cord safe to grab the transformer?

After being disappointed by a $50 pair of Sony headphones, I snagged these Audio-Technica's based on the reviews here on Amazon. I'm very impressed with the quality of these headphones. The cord is very long and durable, the jack is strong and well constructed. The headphones themselves are very comfortable, block out a ton of background noise, and aren't too bulky or heavy. They're very durable and can take a beating.The sound quality for a non-amplified pair of headphones is nothing short of amazing. The majority of headphones in this price range are boomy, obnoxious headphones with poor midrange and high end performance. The ATH-M30 is incredibly well balanced with heavy lows, comfortable mids, and stunningly clear highs. I can't recommend a better pair of headphones in this price range.

Question: How is the thing?

I have an Apple TV and an original roku. I was so excited to see this roku 3 when it was released. What an improvement from my last roku player. Super fast and I never see problems with buffering like my older roku had at times. I highly recommend buying this streamer. The only problem I personally have is that the 700+ channels aren't all great. But the ones that are are well worth buying his streamer. It has so much potential for more channels to come to this device. As a heavy apple user and Apple TV owner I do miss that there isn't an airplay mirroring feature like apples but there are so many more features that make up for that. Such as a USB slot and micro sd slot to play your own movies and music. Overall this streamer is packed with features, speed, and channels . I highly recommend this unit as I have tried the rest... This is the best....

Question: How was tthe video quality?

For reference, this is my setup:Time Warner Cable in Austin, Texas with gamer speed, on really old shared wiring that is so bad there isn't enough power to get actual cable--I just have cable internet; a MediaLink router; a four-year-old Korean re-branded Viore monitor without a working antenna, but with three HDMI ports; and, a two-year old basic Dell, factory setup laptop.Having said that:  my cable service, despite paying for "gamer speed", is pretty shoddy during peak hours.  HuluPlus and Amazon on Demand seem to have packet streaming that deals with that pretty well--I have to restart movies during peak hours, two or three times, but other than that I don't have much interruption.But, I thought this didn't work at all with a two-year-old Dell laptop because it couldn't connect during peak hours. (It wouldn't work at 10 p.m. on a Monday night). Then, my boyfriend got it to "Cast" using a Samsung phone at about 11:00 p.m.. We like to watch very old Led Zeppelin videos on YouTube, and it did work well for that. The video and audio with even really old footage is excellent.The next day, I had no problem at all getting it to cast at 1:00 a.m., from my laptop.  As of this writing, though, I don't think it works unless your cable is really good.If you have bad internet, this isn't worth the money.  The free Netflix is nice, though.

Question: How is the scroll wheel?

This mouse feels great and operates nicely when it is working, but I use mine for work and multiple (15+) times a day, the mouse starts jumping around the screen instead of moving smoothly.  This goes for clicks, movement, scrolling, etc.  The mouse and receiver are about 2 feet away from each other, so it's not a distance issue, and I've tried it on multiple surfaces with no difference.I googled the issue and it seems like a very common problem that has gone unanswered but Microsoft (surprise... not).  I tried all of the suggestions (rebooting, reinstalling drivers, changing batteries, etc) but none of them worked.  I plugged in a different mouse and when this one starts getting jumpy, the other does not, so it's definitely THIS mouse that is the issue.I bought a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse, and it works great.  I'll be returning this one.

Question: How is case?

This is a nice case that provides more than adequate protection---but considering the price and design, that should go without saying... For me, the pros did not outweigh the cons with this one.It easily doubles the weight of the iPad (generations 2 and 3 are sized and weigh the same), making it cumbersome to handle and carry. I can see why people and their kids are dropping it with this thing on, and the solid heavy weight and bulk it created made it more prone to being knocked around in my bag. In fact, it barely fit into my bag with this thing on. I mean, it's thicker than my MacBook! This is because the shield (that doubles as a stand) juts out about half an inch to keep the stand inside from resting against your screen when you have it on to travel.  In terms of weight and size, I would say it's the difference between lugging around a heavy hardback book (and trying to stuff that in my bag) instead of having just a slim trade size paperback (as with a folio case).The other thing I disliked about the shield/stand thing was that I found it difficult and noisy to remove and set up.  You've got to pry the shield off corner by corner by either bracing the iPad against something or pulling the shield in one direction and pushing the iPad in another.  I was having to do it all the time, (which just made it more likely that I'd drop it) and there was also always this obnoxious creaking/clicking sound as i did it.  That sort of thing bothers me because---okay this will probably piss off some of the over zealous reviewers but, I wouldnt want to draw any more attention than the case already does on it's own, as it is embarrassingly overprotective and makes your iPad seem like some mysterious giant tablet or you know, like some kind of fisher price tablet... .i mean, i know some reviewers are saying that people often admire their otter cases and ask about them...but I think it's more like they're admiring your giant Fire and thinking wow, the Fire really IS like the iPad!  Maybe I should get one...  Maybe it loosens up after a while, but the design is so solid that this seems unlikely. It won't bother you if you only use the shield as a stand or to travel, but the screen protector is just a clear sheet of plastic like any other screen protector so I guess I just prefer to have the sort of cover that I can just close over the iPad like a book cover when i carry it around casually.All that aside, the case is still nice and the fit is PERFECT, but I think it's overkill unless you actually need this sort of protection---like if you have little kids that will be using it, or you use it in a job where it'll be abused on a daily basis--otherwise there are plenty of cases out there that fit just as nice but are more convenient (not to mention better looking).  This also isn't the sort of case you will want to be taking on and off; it's difficult to remove so you can't just switch to this one for work/travel and use a more comfortable one for at home.

It won't bother you if you only use the shield as a stand or to travel, but the screen protector is just a clear sheet of plastic like any other screen protector so I guess I just prefer to have the sort of cover that I can just close over the iPad like a book cover when i carry it around casually.All that aside, the case is still nice and the fit is PERFECT, but I think it's overkill unless you actually need this sort of protection---like if you have little kids that will be using it, or you use it in a job where it'll be abused on a daily basis--otherwise there are plenty of cases out there that fit just as nice but are more convenient (not to mention better looking). This also isn't the sort of case you will want to be taking on and off; it's difficult to remove so you can't just switch to this one for work/travel and use a more comfortable one for at home.
