A great bag for a 17" laptop

Originally I went to look at a different case, but this one immediately caught my eye. It has superior cushioning for the laptop, and high quality construction throughout. My new 17" laptop fits well without having too much nor too little room.

Easy to set up and easy to use.

The good:
Easy to set up. You might want to hire an electrician if you don't know your way around 120 VAC electricity.

The not-so-good:
You have to use their app to control the switch. I now have three wireless devices that are incompatible. That means three apps to control all of them.

How about someone come up with one app to control the majority of the devices?

Dissapointing fit & performance

It was uncomfortable to wear after 30 minutes. The "noise canceling" microphone I was told rarely ever eliminated background noise. I'd say that you get what you pay for with this particular item.

I needed an optical drive that worked using a single USB 2.0 port. I was pleasantly surprised when it ripped an audio CD without any issues.

This Targus tripod has a bubble level for stability and a three-way pan head for easy camera movement.

Cheap? Yeah. Wobbly? Only with a heavy camera

Verified Purchase:Yes
With first use I saw that it is very cheaply made. It won't stand up to daily use. However I bought this as a backup/2nd camera stand. It does what I need it to do.

At first I thought that it wouldn't stand up to the weight of my video camera. Well it did, and I'm happy.

No matter what I did with this I could never get a reasonable number of charges for my old Android phone. It also seemed to discharge itself in less than a week. I bought six because they were on sale for just under $2. All but one were returned about a week later.

Brought an old i7 laptop back to life

from Portland, OR, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The original HD in my 1st generation i7 Dell laptop finally bit the proverbial dust. I decided to try out an SSD to see if it truly made a difference. I used to be able to make a PB&J sandwich while I waited to get to a truly usable desktop. Now its a matter of 40 to 50 seconds! I'm sold on SSDs from now on!

Ugh - Horrible Performance

The rating on the bottom of the battery was probably accurate when it first came out of the factory. After charging it for several hours my low end tablet drained it dry in about 50 minutes. No wonder they were on sale for just under $2.

Just got this and charging via computer usb. The red light is on and from reading reviews it seems it can take anywhere from 1-5 hrs. to charge and have the light turn blue. Does charging via computer connection take longer than with a wall plug?
If the computer has a standard USB 2.0 port then yes, it will take considerably longer that it would charging from a wall adapter. Just how much longer depends on the output capacity of the wall charger.

Burn DVDs and CDs with this Dell USB DVD/RW drive. Plug it into your computer's USB port to play and burn discs or to load new software onto the hard drive. This slim Dell USB DVD/RW drive fits into a tote bag, and it draws power directly from the computer's USB port for hassle-free operation.
Is an external power source needed for this device when used on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4? I have heard the USB port on the Surface Pro 4 does not have enough "juice" to power the unit. However, that may be with the PC disconnected from its power source

This ZAGG ZAGGfolio IM2ZFN-PUB case's built-in Bluetooth keyboard features island-style keys for easy, comfortable use. The 950 mAh lithium-ion battery lasts up to 3 months on a full charge.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 compatible?
So, I recently picked up the Galaxy Tab 3 for free from Sprint and have been on the hunt for a keyboard case that is NOT black and boring. Will this product fit my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0? I know they are both Bluetooth capable, so that part should not be an issue. But will it fit?
This case form-fits the iPad mini. Unless the Samsung is shaped exactly like the iPad Mini it is unlikely to fit.
