Ok fitness tracker, but gets old
on June 18, 2016
Posted by: Bruak
Verified Purchase:Yes
The device works fine, but you get tired of opening up the app to look at statistics that dont really mean anything.
On top of that, a buble appeared on my fitbit. Even though fitbit gave me a new one, it just shows that quality is not really great.

Take vacuuming off your chore list
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: Bruak
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Roomba truly exceed my expectations. It works really well (on hardwood and carpet), the maintenance is simple and easy.
I really feel it does as good of a job vacuuming as I do it. Taking into consideration that I kept delaying the chore for pure laziness, and roomba is glad to do it right away, it does a better job :)
There are 2 downsides, however:
1) The station cannot be in a narrow space. When it wants to dock back, the Roomba detects the radio signal the station emits and starts a circling protocol (in a pretty considerable radius), and if hits an obstacle during this protocol, it gets messed up. I often need to help the little guy to go back to the station.
2) If you have some sensible furniture (or really anything that stands on the ground and you don't want to be constantly hit by Roomba), you'll suffer a little bit to see it getting hit by Roomba. I believe an improvement could be done for Roomba to hit obstacles more gently.
Nonetheless, it gets a 5-star!

A very good companion to the iPhone
on April 23, 2016
Posted by: Bruak
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you hate taking your phone out of the pocket, if you'd like more agility to reply quick messages, or if you would like to take calls while still having both hands available for whatever, that's what you're looking for.
Yet, this is clearly a work in progress. You know how the original iphone was great and groundbreaking, but it is absolute garbage compared to models release 2/3 years later? That's exactly the same case here - it is a good device, that add a "plus" to your iphone, but I feel that 2 to 3 years from now the iWatch will be so much better.

Awesome keyboard
on March 12, 2016
Posted by: Bruak
Verified Purchase:Yes
To buy a type cover if you own a surface pro is a no brainer - you should, period.
The keyboard is really responsive, comfort to type on, and very thin. Plus the design that works like a cover to the surface pro is really good.
The question then is if one should by this model - with Fingerprint ID. I personally did, and do not regret it.
The Fingerprint ID works really well, and is really responsive. Logging in windows with it is super easy and fast.
the downside is that I did not find apps that i normally use that take advantage of the fingerprint id - granted that I did not actively search for them, rather than just checked if the ones I use would benefit. It yet to be seen, though, if the more computers and tablets have this reader, the more developers will add this function. I would love to use it for loggin in my internet accounts for example.
Anyway, this purchase is worth the price, but keep in mind that you might be paying extra for a future benefit more than anything.

Hard to recommend

With so many good options available for free, it is hard to recommend a paid Antivirus.
I had a good experience so far with my new computer, but I don't think I'll renew the license once it expires.

A no brainer for surface pro 3 owners
on September 23, 2015
Posted by: Bruak
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have a surface pro 3, this is a must have.
It fits perfectly with your device, feels good to type on (though it is NOT the same experience you'd get on a regular keyboard, mind you), and protects your screen when you turn it off and close the keyboard.
No brainer purchase if you have a surface pro 3 - just choose the color and go for it!

Great device, with room for improvement
on September 23, 2015
Posted by: Bruak
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for a new laptop, that can REALLY work as a portable tablet (not just turn the screen 360 degrees, but actually be light and portable), look no further.
The surface pro 3 is a great device, and this particular model (256GB, i7 processor) provides a great performance. Windows 10 is also very good, improving the experience as a whole.
Personnaly, I had a problem with mine - after some investigation, Microsoft advised that the the internal battery (the small one, not the one you use to keep your device running without a power cord) died way sooner than expected. This made the clock on Windows to always be late - not a huge deal, but it was annoying to keep on refreshing the time/date everytime I turned on the surface. Microsoft fell short on the experience of replacing the surface, so I ended up returnin it to BestBuy - who in the other hand, did an awesome post-sales support.
One more thing - this is a pricey device, and Microsoft is on the edge of announcing the new model (surface pro 4). Take this into consideration before buying ;)

Does this model have the watch function? The picture shows the time but the description doesn't say anything about a watch.

Yes it does. It is not always on, though (it can be turned on, either by pressing the button, or turning your wrist).

can you do wireless printing on this machine?

To make it simple, yes it can.
To explain a little better - this is a computer running full Windows 10. Think of it as a laptop - so as long as you have a printer that supports wireless printing (via wifi, bluetooth, or whatever), the surface will be able to do wireless printing.
