It depends
on December 31, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
My twentysomething year old son took to Apple Music straight away - went to town: streaming and downloading to his iPhone straight off; my spouse took to it with caveats: growing pains learning to discern between what was downloaded vs. what was in the Cloud in regards to her MBP and 'i' devices; I myself am a tried and true crate digger and found it difficult to adapt to having access to everything all at once all the time with little to no effort. All that being said - I do like Apple Music and do use it, but primarily to keep abreast of new releases I'm curious to hear, but not necessarily to buy. Old habits die hard - I continue to search for the obscure, the avant-garde and the forgotten pursuing physical media when available and ALAC (at a minimum) when money need be spent to acquire my latest go to track.

Focus on productivity with this Logitech protective case. It has an integrated keyboard that ensures you can work hard on your iPad without having to use the on-screen keyboard, and it keeps it in and upright position for ease of use. This Logitech protective case also keeps your iPad's screen safe as you take it out and about.

Yes you can, but should you?

Verified Purchase:Yes
Disclaimer: I purchased this as an accessory to a 6th gen iPad for its intended purpose and didn't make use of it directly. That said, my observation is the case provides the desired amount of protection for the iPad while the Bluetooth connectivity works as expected. It does add somewhat more weight to the combined pair than you might wish, but it works as desired. However, it's my considered opinion, from observation, if you are transitioning from - or accustomed to - a Netbook to a tablet you will likely adapt with greater ease than those accustomed to a Laptop or PC workstation. It's worth a good look if you're in the market for something in this target group.

This is a Murphy's Law type purchase: if you have it, you don't use it. If you don't have, you will need it. Learned our lesson the hard way (although it's not clear why the iPad was a necessary accessory while walking the dog) - didn't need this the 2nd time around. Price of AppleCare+ appears to be more competitive than say paying a month rate through your phone carries. Tech Support is handy, but we're fairly self-sufficient without it.

Very nice to use

Verified Purchase:Yes
This iPad 6th gen works exactly as you expect. Having been repurposed from it's original intent, my spouse is using it as a replacement for a 1st gen iPad mini. The upgrade was overdue. The addition of the finger print sensor is welcome.The A10 Fusion processor is plenty fast (especially compared to any previous ten!) and handles all the apps she has thrown out - a few games, personal organizing, and streaming apps. The Rose Gold color is to her liking - not certain whether that is still offered on the subsequent model. The form factor is nice - the large screen real estate is satisfy to read downloadable books or stream. Still going strong 2+ years later, hope to next replace my iPad mini 2 with the latest model.

When a portable speaker this small sounds this good, you'll never leave it behind. The Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Bluetooth speaker delivers unmatched sound for a speaker of this size. Its rugged design and durable strap let you take it everywhere you go. It's waterproof from the inside out, so even if it falls in the pool, just pull it out and keep on playing.

Nice, sounds good, reliable
on December 30, 2020
Posted by: jondlebb
Verified Purchase:Yes
My spouse utilizes this for a weekly fitness class (pre-Covid) streaming music from her iPhone. Sounds great even on a gym floor and works reliably. Set-up was easy. Replaces a 'lost', i.e., stolen, Ultimate Ears Wonderboom she was equally pleased with. Subsequently evolved into somewhat of a Bose fan, but bought a Wonderboom 2 for our son because, well, it's cool. I wouldn't mind another Bose for the master bedroom/bath.

Nice form factor + A11 processor = Winner
on December 30, 2020
Posted by: jondlebb
Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgrade for my son's iPhone 6 - the prices was discounted at the time of purchase as the iPhone XR was the shiny new thing. The A11 processors would handle anything from the App Store he would throw at it (and probably still does.) Being a young person he is perfectly okay with the form factor, i.e., screen size as opposed to middle aged me who now prefers the larger screen real estate. Two years later these can be had for half the cost of what I paid, but he remains contented with this phone. As 5G largely remains a myth of epic proportions neither of us are in a rush to upgrade (It's paid for, yea!) By the time he's due for an upgrade perhaps the 11 or 12 will be discounted as there's always something bigger and better around the corner.

Reasonably comfortable. Sounds is as anticipated - acceptable, not awesome - they remain in place during physical activity (unlike simple ear buds.) Been through a couple of pairs - these were for my spouse and I've since replaced the pair she wore out and bought a pair for myself too.

The stylish Bose Soundbar 500 speaker is meant to be heard, not seen. Its thin profile fits discreetly under the TV screen, while its powerful acoustics fill the room with sound. And with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in, all your favorite music is just an ask away, or use it as a central hub to control your existing smart home devices.
 

My cd player has optical audio out and the bose sounbar 500 has an optical in, this must work but i get no sound?

Suggestion: Using the Bose Music App, check under Settings for Optical Auto-Wake and set it to ON

Store all your photos, videos and data with this DVD-R 10-pack from Verbatim. Each disc can store up to 4.7GB or 120 minutes of data. Don't worry about your data being lost with one-time recording. Each disc in this DVD-R 10-pack from Verbatim records at 16x speed so you can copy your files quickly.
 

Can i get a DVD with more than 120 minutes?

I think that is a limitation of the media type. The only method I'm aware of is through the use of differing compression ratios supported in your burning application.
