It wasn't an award winning movie but it was a good action flick. It had the usual silly things in it when it comes to stupid criminals. You know, lots of talking before disposing of the other guy that's coming after all their friends. The bad guys will knock off anyone else in a heart beat but the one person gunning for them there is a big speech and tied to a chair sequence. You get the idea. It was good entertainment if you get past that kind of thing. Enjoy!

If you are looking for a good cover for your Tab4 8.4" Tablet this one is pretty inexpensive and the quality is very good. I usually get the Belkin model for my tablets but this one from Insignia was on sale for a great price when I got the tablet so I took it. It holds the tablet very securely with a molded plastic inner case and the outer case is very good quality leather (or leather looking) that is smooth and easy to hold onto. The one annoyance that I found was the inner hard shell is a bit close to the controls (power button & volume) and you have to be at just the right angle to get to those controls. It isn't a deal breaker but it does make it a touch harder to use the controls. Overall it is just as good as my other cases and at half the price of the Samsung cases it's a good deal.

I've had several Samsung tablets in the past and this one is of the quality I've become used to in their products. It was easy to set up and getting all my files and apps installed was really easy. I think the only drawback was getting it to connect to my wi-fi network but it finally did the right thing and I got it hooked up. The 8.4" screen is much easier to read than my 7" tablet and the extra on board memory (16GB as opposed to 8GB on the 7") leaves me with lots of room for some extra movies and music without having to get an SD card but that is still an option if needed. Battery life seems good and it looks like I can normally get through 2 full movies or about 5 hours worth. It seems to run forever when just checking e-mail, getting web info and listening to music. Screen response is really good and it seems to flow like there is oil on the surface, really smooth. Overall it is a great product and I am happy that I got the bigger screen when I upgraded.

If you're into the comic book movie genre then this is another good movie that falls into that niche. If you're not into it don't get it because you won't get it!!

As would be expected this is yet another installment of Marvel's Universe. Good solid entertainment with all the characters you've come to know and love. If you're into the genre then you'll like this movie. If you're not then don't get it. If you want a fun evening watching far fetched outlandish no where near the real world antics then this will not disappoint!

What's great about it: It has Ultraviolet version, it's a movie I like, came in steel box case.
What's not so great: It doesn't come with a check for $1000.00.
It's a little future science fiction and action mixed up. It's the type of genre that I like the most and it was a well made film in my opinion. It probably will not win any awards but it is good entertainment if you don't pick apart the context too deeply. If you just watch it for the movie it is and not try to compare it to anything else you will be entertained.

What's great about it: Easy to install, fast
What's not so great: Nothing that I can see yet
I was getting ready to do an upgrade to my older system and wanted to have the extra speed of a SSD boot drive. This item was perfect for that configuration. I upgraded from Win7 to Win8.1 and made this drive my primary boot drive while having a 500GB secondary data drive. So far this drive has functioned just as it should and has given my old system a new life.

What's great about it: Full Frame, Picture Quality, Great Price
What's not so great: For me none, for others...No pop up flash, non moveable LCD
Excellent light gathering with the right lens and full frame sensor. Cuts down noise when shooting in high ISO setting. Being a Semi Pro photographer this was just one more camera in the stable. It is a great camera will full frame sensor fort he price point. Most of my work is in the studio with strobes of different varieties and the camera is set on manual mode. I think this would work well the the enthusiast as well since it has many of the same functions the lower end models have. With a Canon 24-105 f/4L lens attached it gives very crisp clear photos. It's hard to say how the color would be since I shoot all my photos in RAW mode and then do post processing in software. To sum it up the camera is everything I want, it's easy to use, has good quality, as you would expect from Canon or any of the other major players in the camera field. I've never had a bad experience with Canon since my first in 1980, this one is shaping up to be on par for the family line!!

What's great about it: Clear, protects lens, moderate price
What's not so great: It's a filter, if you have to ask then it doesn't matter!
This is not the best or worst filter on the market but it is adequate for some lens protection while out in the field. It doesn't detract a lot from the optic quality of the lens so it is in the good range. I do about half my shooting outdoors and want something to protect my lens investment. If the filter gets scratched up I can change that for substantially less than buying a new lens. With that being said I never use it in the studio just because it's a filter.

Can you read the screen outdoors? I like to read ebooks on the beach.

I've had it outdoor and as with all types of screens in the genre it is sometimes difficult to read due to the sun overpowering the backlight. In shaded areas it is much better but on the beach I'm gonna have to say it probably will not be good. I would see if a friend had one and test it personally so you know for sure. Good Luck!

What is the screen quality of this tablet? Is it good for reading books and playing games?

I read from the Amazon Kindle app and it is just as clear and easy to read as any of my other tablets. I don't do games but when I watch movies on VUDU they look very good and are at least 720P HD. The resolution isn't quite full HD quality on this one.

Does Microsoft office can be use in this tablet for free ?

It appears that it can be used for free on the tablet. I had some documents on my cloud that I use all the time and on this tablet it almost made me install the word app. Since I don't have a Google payment account I'd say it was free and appears to work fine so far. Hope this helps.
