It just was not usable. The brightness was so dark that you could not see the map. The brightness control would let you adjust it, but then went back to its original setting as soon as you left the settings screen. We had to take it right back to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

 Apple - Pencil (1st Generation) - White
Apple - Pencil (1st Generation) - White
The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.
 
Great Pen (cil)

Why they call it a pencil, I have no idea - it has no lead. Anyway, it works great. It actually works better than any of the other tablet pens that we have. The only down side is that if you routinely turn the iPad OFF, every time you turn it back on you have to pair the pen to it. While this is not a big drawback, the connection is small and I am always concerned about tinny connectors. Small things tend to break easier and more frequently than big burly things.

The iMac only has ports on the back. This little guy provides an easy way to connect flash drives, etc. without having to go around to the back of the computer. Super!

Yes many other people have fallen for that other guy, but this program suite IS BETTER! Yes, with any new program there is a learning curve, but it is worth it. Since my first PC (which was BEFORE the XT), I have been using Word Perfect; until I changed to MAC about 12 years ago. With my first new PC this year, I again got the Word Perfect Suite and am very glad to be using it again. Note, the MAC is better in every area - except gaming, but if you are stuck in PC-space for any reason, the Word Perfect Suite is the best.

Even though is it listed as "Hallmark", it is not a somber, sorry, sob story. It is good, clean, entertaining stories for the entire family.

Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove: Season One [3 Discs] [DVD]
In the premiere season of this drama based on Debbie Macomber's book series of the same name, small-town judge and divorcée Olivia Lockhart (Andie MacDowell) considers leaving her coastal hometown in Washington state and accepting a federal judgeship. Jack Griffith (Dylan Neal), a big-city reporter who's new in town, prepares a story about this, but Olivia soon finds herself turning down the promotion and striking up a romance with Jack. However, things get complicated when Olivia's ex-husband (Andrew Airlie) reenters the picture, and Jack considers a job offer in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Olivia's daughter, Justine (Sarah Smyth), also has a complex romantic life, which involves a marriage proposal from land developer Warren (Brennan Elliott) and a reunion with her old high-school sweetheart, Seth (Cory Sevier).

I had an iPod Touch 2 and this one works so much better! It is faster and easier. It is sleeker than the old one. My only concern is that it looks too much like an iPhone that I do not leave it lying around.

My son got one for his XBOX One and liked it. So I got one to backup my new PC. The PC recognized it right away and (once I found WHERE to start the backup in Windows!) it started working flawlessly, seamlessly, and without any personal assistance -- just the way it should be. I hope to never need its backup files, but it is always better to be safe than sorry. This worked so well, I am thinking of getting another one!

Do the plugs go in all the way? I saw what looks like the same item on an online retailer. Numerous reviews there said the plugs don't go in all the way, leaving a gap with exposed metal.

Yes, they go in all the way.

Featuring Internet and multimedia keys, this Logitech K750 920-003677 wireless keyboard makes it quick and easy to access your Mac's frequently used functions. The solar-powered design ensures reliable use in most locations with ample lighting.
 

Logitech k750 wireless solar keyboard for Mac. What do the F13, F14, F15 keys do? What is the purpose of the key to the right of the F15 key with the half-black circle and two lights next to smile and frown emoticons?

I do not know the answer to the first question, but the button to the right of the F15 key checks the charge on the keyboard. You will notice to its right is a smily face and a frown. When you press the button, a green light comes on indicating adequate charge (smily face). Inadequate charge is the lower red light.
