Great value tripod
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
This tripod is great for my smaller APS-C camera. It breaks down into a small enough size for travel, and has a nice range of movement. I like that it comes with a smartphone holder as well. It's light enough to be convenient, yet sturdy enough that I'm not afraid that a light breeze will knock it over and damage my camera.

The Smart Cover for iPad is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front of your device. It automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. You can easily fold the Smart Cover into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing, or making FaceTime calls. And it's easy to remove, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

Good, simple cover that fits in some stands
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Even though I purchased the iPad to place in a stand for ease of use, I wanted to have some protection for when it's not being used in the stand. This cover is excellent for protecting the iPad, and is thin enough that I can flip it backwards and still use the stand without detaching the cover. Perfect!

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

Great for drawing
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Using this with a drawing program like Procreate unlocks the full potential of the app. The input works very well regardless of the tilt, and the battery lasts quite a while. I like that it recharges via the iPad (even if it sticks out all wonky, it's only for a few minutes).

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.

Great for children, easy to use
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I tried really hard to stay away from using Apple products, but after a year and a half of e-learning, my daughter's experience using Android / ChromeOS was just not seamless, even with a very high end tablet.
The iPad is just better for children. Full stop. Yes, there are annoyances, like being unable to support multiple profiles, but that's just what you get with Apple and you have to live with it. For decades, I've resisted because I want to do things my way. But to make things easy for the kid, I'll give her an iPad. If she wants to learn how to be a computer geek, she can make that choice on her own, I'll not force it on her.
She loves the Procreate app, which is an Apple only thing. Go figure.

Daughter loves to create torture chambers
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
My daughter loves this game. She beat all the other Mario games and had gotten bored with the levels, and when she found out that she could make her own levels, as many as she could dream up, she asked me to the key to the lockbox where we keep her savings and we went to the store to pick it up right then and there. She even cleaned up the bathroom to motivate me to go out for her. Did I mention she's only 6? But yeah, now she loves making ridiculous levels where Mario dies in cruel ways to hidden (but sometimes very obvious) traps. Blind jumps that end up in lava pits, spikes all over everything, levels full of dangerous fish. The glee on her face when someone tries one of her levels only to die a cheap and sudden death is charming. Did I mention she's only 6?

Sensitive detection
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a fire alarm hardwired into my kitchen ceiling. It goes off every time I make a steak in the oven. I also bought two of these Nest Protect Carbon monoxide/smoke alarms. One is in the front bedroom next to the kitchen, and the other is down the hall in the master bedroom. Now, I get warnings of smoke buildup in the kitchen when I am making something particularly culinary, but the hardwired regular detector stays mum. I like how sensitive these new alarms are, and that I can monitor them from afar.

The standard bearer for stand mixers
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
You want to bake good, you get a kitchenaid stand mixer. That's all there is to it. No fancy attachments come with. It's heavy and it mixes things just fine. They changed the bowl from the one my wife got at a garage sale many years ago, it's nicer and the handle feels smoother.

Don't need the SSD just to hold video files
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was going to buy a SSD to replace my aging storage drive, but then I saw this huge HDD for half the price and double the storage capacity. I figured, I'm only using it to store games and video files, the access speed isn't that important. Installed super easy, works just fine.

A masterclass in gaming
on March 12, 2021
Posted by: RondonJonsen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this shortly after my daughter finished Mario Odyssey, to show her evolution of 3d Mario games. Mario 64 is feeling pretty dated, with the janky camera. Since she's only 6, my daughter was really missing the assist-mode the newer games have. Mario Sunshine was a game that I never really got to play, having skipped the Gamecube. Really wish that it was Mario Galaxy 2 instead of the first one, but it still really shines bright.

My daughter loves it

I've been playing the Super Mario games for 35 years, and they are still coming up with new and interesting ways to play. Recently, I've passed the torch to my daughter, and have been having a blast watching her bounce her way through the latest iteration, jumping in occasionally to help her get through a tough level. Online play works great, allowing her to play with her bestie despite being under lockdown from the pandemic.
