I use the keyboard and mouse in a conference room. The computer is in a near by closet and the display is connected with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter on a TV. It works great and gives flexibility to anyone that may need to present.

This is much better than the surface pro 2 type cover. The mouse pad works a lot better. The only issue I have had is the back light does not always come on. May be a setting somewhere I am missing however.

Attach to the docking station and bam. I have connection to a second monitor, wired network and external speakers. Just like popping a laptop on a dock. Works great.

I have this hooked up to my surface pro 3. Now I can touch all my monitors and not look stupid. It works very well.
I wish it had higher resolution that 1920x1080 but for the price it is great.

I have tried several wireless video adapters and this one is by far the best. It streams videos and audio with no glitches from my Surface Pro 3. Other wireless adapters I have used would stutter or skip during video replay using the same surface. I have also used it with an HP laptop that runs windows 8.1. Also, my windows phone displays on it with no issue.

By far the best in the Dragon Age franchise. I have spent several hours playing and still emerged in the story line. Having fun finding and playing side quests. Looking forward to trying multiplayer.

I enjoy the surface very much. It does everything my laptop did and more. The touch screen is great. USB and mini display port make it great to be able to attach to another monitor for larger / dual screen work. Battery life lasts me all day when out and about.

I enjoy the color options this has. However, it is not as long as I'd like (only about 6'). Overall nice.

USB Only

Does best Buy sell the USB adaptor for this keyboard? I own the keyboard and the USB adaptor broke and has been misplaced...
I don't know if you can buy just a Logitech Unifying receiver, but you can buy a cheap Logitech mouse (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-m325-wireless-optical-mouse-blue/3937943.p?id=1218443144549&skuId=3937943) and reconnect the keyboard to the receiver that is in the mouse package.

even though its a touchscreen can I still use my tower and is this capatible with hp?

It is not an all in one computer, just a touch screen. So you can hook it up to your windows computer. Simply plug in both the USB and VGA(or HDMI) and windows should install the proper drivers.
I use windows 8.1 and it works great.

will this work with an early 2011 built Macbook Pro running OS Yosemite? Some Say that Apple has a security feature in Yosemite that is incompatible?

So has Apple prevented after market sellers of SSD from being used on the Apple brand? I was told that it has something to do with a new security feature in Yosemite that prevents a non Apple Supported SSD from clearing out its deleted files resulting in the drive filling up with both current and deleted data resulting in the drive slowing down and not working in Machines that have upgraded to anything past Mavericks. This would prevent an owner upgrade to Faster and MUCH more economical drives and leave you to have to buy a new SSD equipped Mac at a much higher price than aftermarket SSD upgrade.
I installed a SSD and extra memory in a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011 with Mavericks on it and then upgraded to Yosemite with no issues.
This particular SSD I put in a Mac Pro with no issues. running Yosemite.
