GREAT COFFEE MAKER!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this Keurig for Christmas and am using it in my office. I am delighted by the wide variety of K-Cups available and am able to taste various types and flavors of coffee within the same day, rather than making a pot of coffee at a time in my old coffee maker, which would only deliver a good first cup, followed by stale-tasting second and third cups, because the coffee would sit there as the freshness disappeared. The Keurig eliminates this problem and continues to deliver fresh-tasting coffee cup after cup. I bought one for home too!

VERY GOOD QUALITY

This microwave is small, yet quite functional. It fits nicely on my compact shelf in the kitchen and even though not as powerful as the larger units, it works quite well.So who cares if I have to wait an extra minute for something to heat up? Overall, I am very satisfied and would highly recommend.

GREAT PRODUCT!

I purchased the Nuvi 255WT at Best Buy after my Nuvi 350 died on me a few days ago. The 255WT has a large, backlit display, which is very sharp and easy to see. The voice is loud and clear and the device quickly recalculates your route if you make a wrong turn.The battery was fully charged upon opening, the signal strenth was very strong even indoors, and the satellite signal was quickly picked up. The Garmin was up and running within minutes of taking it out of the box. I am happy that I am able to use the accessories I had already purchased with my Nuvi 350, which are the AC adaptor and the USB cable, both of which are not included with the 255WT. I had also purchased a bean bag for the dash board for my Nuvi 350, which I am also able to use with the 255WT. A few good tips from the salesman at BB: do not leave the device in the car in extreme temperatures, hot or cold; do not keep it plugged into the car charger, as this will burn out the battery; use only the battery and then resort to the car charger if the unit needs charging. I always left my Nuvi 350 olugged into the car charger, which is why it may have died after 2 years. You should also register the product within 30 days of purchase, to take advantage of the free map update from Garmin, which the salesman told me could take a few hours. And finally, it pays to get the extended service plan, which would give you 2 years insurance from the date of purchase. I did not get this plan, but after a lot of thought, I will go back to BB this weekend to purchase the $40 service contract, which includes replacement even if the unit is dropped. I know from experience that this plan will give peace of mind. I did not have the service contract with the 350, and it died in 2 years. The service plan can also be renewed if you want to extend the coverage. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the Garmin Nuvi 255WT, as I am sure you will be too.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Nothing so far

Straight up Mac guy for 7 years, but alway on the lookout for something new and cool and well made to try, this is NOT it!!!
First of al, it's not NEW. It's just another wannabe iPad. What!!?? You say. How Could You Say That??!! Think about it, honestly, if not for the iPad, would this product even exist?? If you answered yourself HONESTLY, you would obviously said 'no'.
Second, its not cool. They are trying, oh so hard to make it seem cool, but it's not.
Well made??? That remains to be seen, but at my first go around with, I wasn't impressed, but then it is MS branded and it seems they can't build hardware any better than the Software/OS that led me to (joyfully) try Apple all of those years ago. A company that makes a product so satisfying, that the simplest task to the mightiest brings a smile to my face when i open the lid, wiggle the mouse, or flick on my iPhone. Products that I use, sometimes just to use, because they are so damx cool.
Just remember, MS diehard's, early adopters, or whatever the reason, remember the XBOX360 and its "Red Ring of Death", remember Windows(insert version) OS and i suppose, try and remember their attempts at a cell phone. Best of Luck to you, here's hoping the product is around a year from now and that there is/and/or remains support, apps, parts, a real selection of cables, cases, artistry pens, you know, trivial stuff like that, for years and years. Quite the expensive gamble to find out. IMHO.

MOST reviewers highly favor the Surface Pro over the iPad. I don't knock Apple products, but I certainly prefer Android tablets and now the Surface Pro over the iPad.

5 out of 5Fantastic!

I read a lot of reviews and gave it a lot of thought prior to taking the plunge but have to say after a month or so that I have no regrets at all. Yes it is pricey but I get a lot of function out of it. For work, I have eliminated my notepad for meetings opting for the stylus for taking notes. I can do full review and editing of MS office docs and if I want to enjoy my music, photos, or movies it functions great. No complaints and while I do wish it had longer battery life, it does just as well as my work laptop so I just manage the power accordingly. Quite happy with it so far.

Would you mind my asking... can you use the stylus to jot down notes or make annotations on Word documents? Are there other writing applications pre-installed on the tablet? I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and make frequent use of the S-Pen, so wanted to get a Windows 8 tablet with a stylus as well. Thanks.
