I teach from home with a MacBook pro and iPad second screen. Sidecar works better for me with this cable. And I can record my iPads screen on QuickTime easily with this cord. Keeps iPad charged all day, while it connects Sidecar.

Reliable easy compact
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
So now, all 6 of my TVs have a generation of Apple TV’s. This HD one is reliable and works well for HDMI plugged 1080 TVs. I do have one 4K tv and would recommend the next level Apple TV for that one. Software updates seem to happen in all of the ATVs except the original shorter ones (gen 1 & gen 2, I think?). Very happy with the Siri remote...but don’t let them get wet. Once went on vacation and a cat spilled a glass of water on one. $80 to replace isn’t fun. Luckily older gen remotes can be used except for a Few adjustments having to do with AirPods as speakers and closing apps.

Powerful enough for 3000sf old home

Was wary at first to spend this much on a router. But the wife was right, we now have over 40 iots (phones, TVs, dots, etc) not to mention two adults and 3 kids working from home...we needed a powerful router. At first I had a sub 100$ Wifi6 and returned it a week later. The ax8 is a powerful enough to stream HD three walls away. Happy I made this investment.

Keep getting better, natural intercoms
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like the improved easier setup for this generation’s Dot’s compared to Gen 1. They setup with Bluetooth on my phone much simpler than old ones did. I only know this when I got a new router and had to reset their network settings.
They also sound much fuller than Gen 1.
My family loves to make announcements on all 5 of them scattered around the house, or “drop in” on anyone of them to “intercom”. I live in an old house and would never even think about fixing the broken intercom from the 1970s. These ARE the modern intercom :)

Very Fast compared to Mid2014
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bit bullet and bought this a month too soon. Wish I had waited for the new models with same specs but twice the HD. It was on sale, but would pay full price for a 512GB HD. Very happy with speed of the i5, which i read is essentially the same as the i7, and significantly faster enough than the i3. Hopefully it’ll last like my old Macs did...for 7-10 years...I’ll be realistic and expect 6 years again. My mid2014 grew too slow after 5ish years (It was the base model then). This being the mid model, maybe I’ll get my wish.

Excellent front speakers for home theater
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had a home-theater/HIFI set ups since my dad would hand-me-down his old Marantz Quadriles in the early 80’s. So naturally a sound bar is never an option for me. These speakers finally allowed me to replace a pair of crumbling Optimus (RadioShack) bookshelf speakers. I’m very impressed by how affordable and full these sound. I have a 150W sub also connected so their bass is unnoticeable, but the treble and mids match very nicely with my Optimus Center channel. Good looking, wood boxes which hang on my wall with my trusty RadioShack wall mounts, albeit they point upwards a bit since the speaker terminals are so large on their back faces. Good Stuff, affordable set of highly rated (CNET) speakers.

SO easy to install, no scratches yet
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I hesitated to buy one of these in the past having had so much difficulty keeping it free of bumps, bubbles and fuzzies. Thankfully this comes with a phone-specific template that let me simply drop the screen in place. It also had a set of cleaners, wipes and sticky roller that actually got rid of all the foreign matter except for one tiny bump. So, near perfect. No complaints

Fast as it can get! But made dead zones?
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: Cbusteach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a cable modem at 400mbps and it maxes this out on the 5GHz signal. My last modem would max at 250mbps, so I’m literally getting what I pay for now (as far as speed). However, the spot beaming (you set up preferred devices in app/web interface) seems to create some dead zones, I didn’t have with my last modem.
This may be from the Covid-19 internet backbone stressing that MUST be going on, but I don’t think so. I’ll give it a few more days/weeks and I’ll review again. So, So far impressed with speed, but may have some “holes”.

Whether they are draped around the tree or along frosted garland, Philips Hue Festavia string lights are the ultimate holiday decor. A long-awaited addition to the Philips Hue family, Festavia string lights feature 250 mini smart LEDs along a 65-foot cord, making it perfect to decorate your tree inside or wrap around your home outside. Because it's a Philips Hue smart light, it works with all your other Hue smart lights, too. Set any scene in the Hue app and watch your entire space blend into a perfect harmony of color. You can even use Philips Hue + Spotify to play your favorite carol and watch your smart lights -- Festavia string lights included -- react to the beat and mood of the music. Connect them to a Hue Bridge (sold separately) to unlock the full power of Philips Hue, including the ability to control up to 50 lights and accessories, automations, and smart control from anywhere in the world.
 

Would this 250 light set be enough for a 6'-7' tree?

I used mine outside across my house, but would definitely consider using it on my tree if I didn’t already have that covered. Go for it, the cool scenes you can do with the HUE app is worth it!

Did Apple improve the buttons on this years case? The 12 Pro clear cases buttons were very hard to press and "Mushy".

Using this case 13 pro clear case on 12 pro. Buttons are stiff, not mushy. I have no complaints, but cannot compare your mushy XP :)

Floodlight Cam Plus - Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring app to see what~s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to.
 

Can this be hardwired to existed power source?

Absolutely. I removed the old worn out motion floodlight and simply wired into existing light outlet. Just be sure to not turn off that outlet! The WiFi is throng enough in the house thankfully. This unit would have to connect to WiFi.

The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation); iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation); iPad Air (4th and 5th generation); and iPad mini (6th generation).
 

Will this 2nd generation pen work with the iPhone 13 and o will it also work with the iPad version 14.6?

I don’t think any iPhones can handle pencils, just good old fashioned thumbs. For that, I’d check out an iPad mini…it’s screen size is perfect for a pencil of your just looking to take quick notes and doodle.

With the Gen 2 pencil, can you take notes on the new Air 5 and convert them to texts?

I’m pretty sure that you can in the notes app.

My old MC Mini just quit. Am looking to buy the Mac Mini i5. Your store in Scottsdale is out lif I purchase one online can I bring the old and the new into the store and have the information transferred when the store re opens

Don’t have them do it. Just make a Timemachine backup and do it yourself. If you have a portable HD, which I must highly recommend, or even a large capacity SD card these days, you can make a time machine backup. When you power up the new one, the computer will ask you at the right time to plug in your portable HD and simply transfer EVERYTHING over to the new computer. If you have a larger drive than the new one, then you can just choose which apps Not to load on the new one.

Get more done every day with this Apple Mac mini desktop. A six-core 3.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM make completing challenging tasks easy and let this computer run programs simultaneously. This Apple Mac mini desktop stores important files and starts up in seconds thanks to a 256GB solid-state drive.
 

I have a older MacBook Pro and an iPhone 6s that I would like to that I would like to trade in for this. Does BestBuy allow for that or do I have to an Apple Store for that?

I have traded in several apple products to my local Best Buy for the past 4 years. Sometimes BB offers more than the Apple Tradein store, sometimes not. Whether yours specifically can be traded in for credit, you'll have to check their websites. Good Luck!

Keurig Water Filter Replacement Cartridges (2-Pack): Filter your water for an even better tasting cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, apple cider or iced beverage.
 

how to change water filter on keurig coffey maker

You’ll need to have the clear plastic filter holder that attaches the inside bottom of the water tank. If you don’t have a removable filter holder then you probably don’t need these filters. I have seen them for sale at Kohl’s department store, or online at Keurig.com...maybe look for them there if you think you’d like to filter your water
