Apple Watch SE has the same larger display size Retina display as Series 6, so you can see more at a glance. Advanced sensors to track all your fitness and workout goals. And powerful features to keep you healthy and safe. The Sleep app lets you set a bedtime routine and track your sleep. And you also get calls, messages, and music right on your wrist. It's a lot of watch for a lot less than you expected.

Perfect compromise.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit was purchased as a gift for my elderly and technologically-challenged mom. It turned out to be a perfect gift for her. True, it does not have all the features of the top-of-the-line Apple Watch, but considering it was a gift and the end user would probably not make use of all those functions anyway, it proved to be a very good purchase. My mom loves that she can answer her phone on it (when her iPhone is not physically with her, but is still on the same wireless network), it has awesome fitness tracking features, and it also tells time! Another nice feature that she likes is the ability to ping her phone (so she can find where she set it down). The biggest detractor of the Apple Watches is their paltry battery life. Sure, a full day use is not a problem, but if you are looking for sleep tracking, you really do need to charge it before going to sleep (and then charge it again in the morning to ensure a full day's charge). If you can forego the sleep tracking feature, then you just need to charge it once a day (probably when you go to sleep).

Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.

Flawless victory...

The Arcade1Up units are pretty cool. They give you an opportunity to relive experiences from old video games in a convenient package with a good opening interface. Much easier than trying to play games on a computer with an emulator and a modern controller. Overall, the unit has a good selection of games and is fun to play. (As an aside, if you are taller, the static display that is part of the unit itself can actually impede your view of the top of the unit. I often find myself having to squat down or bend over a little bit to be able to see the entire screen, which is annoying. The screen is also smaller than I remember from the original arcade games, but then again, these units are not marketed as full-sized.) When assembling the unit, do not throw out the cream-colored plastic part. It is actually transparent; the coloring is a safety film that needs to be removed. Also, one of the elements required for assembly was also missing a feature that resulted in a screw not fitting. It was a minor thing, so I did not worry about it, but it was (and still is) annoying.

Much easier than trying to play games on a computer with an emulator and a modern controller. One thing I did notice on this particular game, however, is that the buttons are located on the right side, meaning you have to work the track ball or spinner with your left hand, which feels backward to me. Being right-handed, I would have preferred an opposite layout so that I could use my primary hand (right hand) for motion control in the games and my secondary hand (left hand) for hitting buttons. Maybe my memory is wrong, but I seem to remember the buttons being on the opposite side for many of these games. Overall, though, good selection of games and fun to play.

Very realistic and immersive.
on February 12, 2022
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
My daughter had one and loved it. After giving hers a try, I had to get one. The experience is very immersive. As a matter of fact, the first game I played was the Darth Vader (Star Wars) one and I was completely blown away with just how realistic and immersive it was. (Although, the game was rather short. Part 1 took me maybe an hour to complete. Not a criticism of the Oculus, obviously, but be aware that gaming experiences are not always like those on a traditional gaming console or computer regarding the "depth" or length of the experience.) The controls are intuitive, for the most part (and there is a tutorial included within the unit that you can go through help become acquainted with the unit). The focus does not always appear to be perfect when looking around, but overall that is a minor annoyance that does not detract from the experience. The unit is also comfortable for the most part, but after gaming for a while you do notice the weight and the "pressing" of the unit against your face. Along those lines, the "seal" around the unit may not necessarily fit every size face perfectly. Toward the bottom, around the nose, I do get a little light bleeding in. Lastly, I tried the International Space Station simulation and it did make me a little woozy (I did not have that issue with the Darth Vader game). The experience is very realistic, but motion sickness can be a very real side effect with some games.

A little pricy, but you get what you pay for...
on February 12, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
We love our Dyson vacuum cleaner. This is actually our third Dyson to replace one that was aging and did not seem to work as well as when we first purchased it (we vacuum a lot, so there was quite a bit of wear-and-tear). The ball makes it easy to navigate around furniture, it has a long cord, it is easy to grab the hose off the back to clean areas other than carpeting, and this particular model does not have any filters that need to be periodically cleaned... It is truly no maintenance (aside from emptying the container when necessary). True, it is an expensive vacuum cleaner compared to some others, but my experience with Dyson vacuum cleaners (and other) is that you do get what you pay for. This is an awesome vacuum cleaner that should last us for years to come.

New M1 Chip is Awesome
on February 5, 2021
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchase for my daughter for school. She had a MacBook Air previously. This computer is about the same size (for the most part), yet the battery life is better, it has their new keyboard, touch bar at the top, and it’s running Apple’s new M1 chip, which is really fast and runs cool. Screen is great! iCloud keeps everything synchronized across her various Apple devices. Yes, you may pay a premium for a MacBook, but I have no doubt that this computer will last her for years without seeming sluggish over time. So long as you do not have any programs that need to run virtually in Windows (through Boot Camp or an emulator), there really is no reason to stay away from the new M1 chip (although M1-optimized programs do run faster than their older intel-centric versions).

Top Shelf iPhone, just be prepared to pay for it.

Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded to this phone because of the camera system and it has not disappointed. Beyond that, however, I am not sure there would be much of an impetus to upgrade from a series X or 11 iPhone. Battery life for me has been sensational... No issues with full-day use. It is a big phone and does not fit very comfortably in the hand (one-handed use is challenging), but that is the price one has to pay for the screen real estate that comes with this phone. It was expensive, but I am very happy with it.

Does what it should... Pretty basic/simple.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I suspect there are less expensive options available through third parties, but I am not sure if those options would charge at the same rate. I also have a case on my phone and the magnetic attraction between the phone and the charger is not very strong. (No satisfying "click" as demonstrated on various websites.) Still... Lay the phone down on it and it charges just like any other Qi capable wireless charger.

Great Little Speaker, Annoying Power Adapter
on December 16, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have several HomePods and decided to try a mini in another space within my house. The mini is a very nice option for smaller spaces. The sound is good and it integrates well within the Apple ecosystem (especially if you have or use other Apple devices). The thing I do not like is that the plug is a USB-C that needs to be plugged into a charging adapter that sticks out of the wall. Given that the speaker is already being used in a small space (at least for me), having the big, boxy charging adapter sticking out of the wall is definitely unsightly and annoying. (I actually purchased a pigtail so that the charging adapter could "rest" on the counter rather than hanging directly out of the wall.) Beyond that issue, however, I am very happy with the purchase and may add another one to my home to supplement areas where I could not rationalize spending $300 on a full-size HomePod.

Is this keyboard able to be raised/angled? Or does it only lay flat?

Do they make a version of this keyboard where the special keys !@#$%^&*() and so forth are also backlit?
I do not believe so. (Looking at other reviews of this keyboard on other sites, it seems like this is a common complaint, and one that I share.) I did email Logitech to see if they sell other keycaps... I am waiting to hear back. One of the issues is that these keycaps are not Cherry MX compatible. As a result, I have not been able to find any other alternatives either. (I would be more than happy to purchase a different keycap set, but I have not been able to find any that work with these Logitech-centric switches.)
