This case is much more robust than the previous one I had. I do wish I could tilt the screen at a shallower angle sometimes though.

This folio case is handy and light, and since it flips both ways I can protect the camera lens when I'm not using the iPad. I would prefer to have 2 tilt settings instead of just 1, though.

I can't yet attest to this case's ability to withstand a drop - I hope I never find out!

My old iPad was having touchscreen issues again, so instead of replacing the digitizer on a 2 year old device, I took the plunge and got this iPad Pro. This tablet is noticeably faster, and since I was moving from another iPad, all my app data transferred seamlessly. (Wish I could have done the same with my Android phones!)

This does exactly what I need it to. I use an external speaker that normally I connect via Bluetooth, but the TuneIn Radio app requires a line out - so this was my solution to listen to the radio without using headphones.

The cable company's rental fee for the wi-fi router/modem combo had recently increased to $10/month, and it left a bit of a dead zone near the back of the house. I figured I could improve upon the signal with a more powerful device, which would pay for itself within 2 years because I could dump the rental fee. Setup was pretty easy, following the provided directions, and the dead zone has decent coverage now. It took me twice as long to have the cable company activate the new device as it did for me to set it up!

This $300 laptop still packs in a quad-core processor, and for an AMD it runs much cooler than I expected. While I would not recommend using it to play graphics-intensive games, otherwise this has been a solid performer.

What's great about it: cute but instructive Oompa Loompahs

This is not an ordinary kids' movie. Each of the kids does something wrong and suffers a consequence, with the Oompa Loompahs singing about what they did. Gene Wilder perfectly suits the character of Mr. Wonka.

What's great about it: reasonable speed, great price

What's not so great: took a while to configure correctly

I was able to get started with this simple USB device very easily, but it was flaky for a few days until a driver update arrived. Since then, this has been working great. At 300 Mbps, it's not a speed demon, but it's still faster than my ISP offers, so I have not experienced any bottlenecks.

Will this make my samsung tv be able to connect to my wireless router?

I don't think so, this product is designed for a PC, not a TV. You would need some kind of smart TV hub, such as a Roku, to link your TV to the internet.
