The Smart Folio for iPad Pro is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front and back of your device. It automatically wakes your iPad Pro when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. You can easily fold the Smart Folio into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing, or making FaceTime calls.

It has 2 Wi-Fi antennas, so you get strong performance wherever it is on your property. And you can set it up in just about five minutes, no wiring needed.

Haven't purchased a monitor in sometime after my 10/yo HP one gave out. Did some researching and fell upon these HP monitors. Nice edge to edge, colors are great and was easy to setup. I purchased 2 of them when they were on sale, good value.

Nice TV!

Was in the market for a bedroom TV and thought I'd take a chance and try a brand new LG model. Nice smart TV unit. Easy start-up, tv setup was a little challenging as far as how the screen looks. But after peddling around with it, I found the right balance for the room that it is. Remote is easy and is laid out ok. So far so good after a couple of weeks.

5 out of 5A great all-in-one experience
By jtstrick
I was one of the relatively few people as I can tell that were able to order and receive this computer back in November from Best Buy when it was initially released (the limited quantity they had apparently sold out in a couple of days). This replaced my previous all-in-one HP Envy 34 Curved PC I bought new in 2015. I've had a great experience with this machine so far. No hardware or software issues new out of the box or in the two months since. Windows 11 is working well with it.
I use this computer all day, every day as both my work computer and for personal use (which includes light gaming). The 5K display is absolutely fantastic, especially the crisp images for both video/graphics as well as for reading lots of text documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoints, etc.
If you are considering the HP Envy 32 All-in-One, I tried that one as well and returned it to get this one instead. While it too was a great machine, I found that its more square-ish display ratio resulted in a screen height that caused me to have to tilt my head back uncomfortably to use the top 1/4 of the display, resulting in neck fatigue, and me somewhat unconsciously never using the full upper real-estate of the screen for that reason (which defeated the purpose of a large-format PC). The decidedly widescreen ratio of this screen is much more comfortably usable for me, with looking more left and right feeling more natural, rather than up and down. Also, the lower overall screen height gives a more usable angle for the camera in the default top center location (with the HP 32 the camera was virtually looking down in the top of my head). Being able to move the camera around to multiple magnetic attachment positions with this PC is a surprisingly useful versatility as well.
My previous HP Envy 34 could produce a fairly loud amount of fan noise when driven hard (i.e., high-resolution gaming). This PC will likely fan when pushed, but the noise level is seemingly less obtrusive. Under normal load, its imperceptible.
As another review pointed out here, the plethora of ports for connectivity is a welcomed plus. The ports in the neck of the stand are particularly convenient.
I wasn't a fan of the included HP mouse at all - too low and flat to be comfortable to use, so I immediately replaced that. I'm happy with the included keyboard, though those that prefer full stroke keys will likely need to bring their own as well.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the aesthetics, build quality, and performance of this PC and am glad that I bought it. I recommend this for persons looking for a high-end all-in-one. With the reasonably beefy hardware specs, and even offering a few upgradeable aspects, you should be able to hang on to this for at least a few pretty productive years.

I too saw this back in November 2021 when I was in the market to upgrade my old all-in-one HP Envy 34 Curved PC, I bought new in 2015. I absolutely love this new one and not sure why everyone else is having problems with it. I even upgraded the SSD drive to a Samsung 980 SSD with no problems other the bit locker which locks the SSD until it's unlocked, I had to educate myself on that. I did find it strange that shortly after I purchased this PC that it just disappeared from best buy and HP's website and still not showing up on HP's website.
I did see it on B&H Photo's website as coming soon.
But all in all, I love this PC and the new windows 11.

How would geek squad standard protection plan work with a device like this? Being that Tivo seems to be very picky about repairs or replacement of there equipment. How would geek squad protection plan protect me if this unit were to fail?
