Good Fit and Protection
on August 27, 2016
Posted by: ates
Perfect fit. Good lip. Feels good in the hand with the rubber textures on the back. Buttons and switches are easily accessible. Overall, very nice inexpensive case that offers solid protection.

Fits DSLR Nikon D3200
on August 27, 2016
Posted by: ates
I wanted a basic camera bag to hold my DSLR and found this. It fits my Nikon D3200 with 15-55mm kit lens. It won't hold any lens longer than that. It has side pockets for extra batteries. It is made up of fabric, no plastic on the bottom either so it is very light weight and I wouldn't expect this to offer any drop protection. Shoulder strap is plenty long. Overall, solid purchase for the DSLR.

Used condition functions like NEW
on June 28, 2016
Posted by: ates
It did not come in retail package. It did include the apple tv, power cable, remote, and the remote cable. The device works and functions like new. I checked the Apple warranty and it expires February 2017. I purchased it in June 2017 during the flash sale for $95 so it was used for about 5 months. Obviously YMMV. New retails for $125-$150 so consider that and if it is worth the extra cash for full Apple warranty/new condition. The unit works as it should without issues. Plex works great and the cover art/interface is beautiful. It does lack google play and vudu/UV movie apps. No 4K either. The remote voice control works great. The biggest pro i would say is the beautiful use interface and fast streaming, especially with wireless AC. The touch control is not the greatest for navigation, it is more work to swipe than to press a directional pad (like the roku controller). I guess it can be useful for games but I don't use this for games. Also includes airplay which works good for youtube and not so much for displaying your desktop - there's too much lag.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus lets you experience PC-to-TV entertainment the way you Watch video, browse the web, chat with friends and much more. The all-in-one keyboard with touchpad ends the hassle~and clutter~of multiple devices. And a 32.8-foot wireless range ensures your fun won~t be interrupted. Comfortable, quiet keys and a large (3.5-inch) touchpad make navigating entertainment effortless. Even setup is a snap thanks to the tiny, plug-and-play Unifying receiver.

Works Great not sure what the plus is

I have the old K400 and this one. They are nearly identical. This was $20 during black friday. Works great with HTPC from the couch. I do wish it had an LED keyboard.

Printer paper works great
on January 14, 2016
Posted by: ates
Well I was able to achieve 35 prints out of 2 packs which contain 36. It comes with 108 prints (18printsx6packs) and 3 ink cartridges (good for 36 prints each). The quality of print is dependent on your photo image quality. If you are using a DSLR the prints will be good. If you use the front side camera off a phone the photo won't be that great because of the poor lens thus poor image quality. Overall, it's nice to print from home and it's much more convenient.

Works a little better than previous gen
on January 14, 2016
Posted by: ates
Wireless AC helps improve in reducing buffering of video playback. It also came with $20 google credit which was nice. I have the old gen and this slightly plays video faster but not by much 3-4 seconds. You will notice quicker video playback, less buffering and therefore highest possible bitrate out of your wifi connection. Overall recommended but don't expect a huge improvement.

DO NOT BUY DELUXE

You are essentially paying $10 extra for 2 EMOTES which are animations by your character. DO NOT BUY and support this from EA. The other items are instant access which you can obtain enough points to purchase in 2 matches.

Great graphics but shallow gameplay
on November 18, 2015
Posted by: ates
Great gameplay and graphics but lacks depth. It's a game where what you see is what you get. No campaign. Characters have basic customization in changing faces. Weapons are not customizable. Cards are randomly placed and assist the player. Still a good game but could be much better.

Glorified watch
on September 4, 2015
Posted by: ates
After using it day to day it isn't all that great. Fitment and design are beautiful but the functionality and purpose isn't quite there. It functions as a digital watch and has apps but the apps are bare and basic versions of the iphone app. It can be convenient to look at notification but that's all that it is good for. Notifications also don't always get pushed to your watch, so if you use your phone constantly forget about receiving any notifications to your watch because it already will be viewed and thus not pushed to the phone. Switching apps on the watch is a bit cumbersome because you have to scroll through the phone's essential apps to get to one place. The app layout on the otherhand lets you see all the apps but the icons are so small that you have to zoom in and then carefully select the desired app without touching the other ones. The heartbeat sensor only works if you have the app open and doesn't periodically record your heartbeat like the fitibit charge hr. The phone must be connected to the iphone via bluetooth at ALL times and is managed using the apple watch app which isn't all that great either. Notifications have to be manually set on/off for EACH available watch app. This can get a little annoying. Overall, for $400 this isn't that great considering 75% of the time you will use it as a BASIC digital watch to tell time.

Upgrade your home theater system with this NVIDIA SHIELD Android console. It lets you stream 4K HDR movies and TV shows and play hundreds of PC-quality games via GeForce NOW or Android streaming. The 16GB of internal memory stores your favorite multimedia files, and the voice search feature of this NVIDIA SHIELD Android console lets you access content immediately.
Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Performs identical to 2015 model but lacks ports
By ates
To clarify this has same internal specifications (CPU/Ram) as the previous 2015 16gb release and functions the same. The shield TV itself is reduced in size but at a cost of removing the micro-USB, and microSD slot. On the front the IR-receiver is also removed. The remote is different too, it is now made of plastic, uses a coin battery that must be replaced, and does not have the 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening. The controller has been updated for ergonomics, google voice commands, and increased battery life due to BT connection. Overall, the Shield TV functions the same but is a re-launch to get the controller bundle out and save Nvidia in manufacturing cost by reducing the inputs of the 16gb and making the remote plastic. The 2015 Nvidia Shield TVs will get an OTA firmware update so both would have identical performance/firmware/software. If you have the old Shield TV then it's not necessary to get this. This does have a new controller but the Shield TV/Remote is a downgrade as it lacks the inputs and aluminum remote.
