The only problem with the iMac is that the keyboard does not have a numeric keypad. When you deal with numbers a lot, it is really needed. The Belkin wireless numeric keypad is the perfect solution. It leaves the keyboard small and as a separate piece, they can be placed wherever it is most convenient. It works flawlessly and is easy on batteries. Don't buy a iMac without one!

This product does a great job of protecting the iPad Pro without interfering with the touch sensitivity. Being glass, I thought it might dramatically affect the sensitivity, but you cannot tell the difference!

i have an iPad2 with keyboard, which is clunky and needs special charging. This new keyboard connects directly with the iPad Pro, has a great "feel" to the keys, works great, and draws it meager power from the iPad Pro, thus only having to keep one item charged. It also holds the iPad Pro at a good viewing angle.

This drive works great and sits neatly on the iMac stand. I do not loose desk space because I can sit my pencil holder on top, so the only potential issue is a non-issue.

This replaced my MacPro, which is a great computer. I have no complaints about it, BUT this new iMac is super fast start up, neat and clean (no cables cluttering the place), and the fusion drive means that the frequently used applications start very quickly. I thought I would not like the new keyboard and mouse, but I do. The only missing piece is the numeric keypad, which Belkin has stepped up to take care of. Also, the transfer from the MacPro to the iMac, via the Time Machine was effortless (but because of all my "valuable stuff", was not quick). There should be a six-star category for the iMac!

It is easy to use and, if you are like me, you get your tax information a little at a time. This program makes it simple to add the new information when you get it. The only trick is that you must leave $1 in every category (dividend, interest, charitable organization, etc) or it will delete those that you have not provided a dollar amount. This is not bad (but a nuisance) but it means that you need to review for $1 items manually before finalizing the return. Otherwise, great.

This was a bad purchase! The idea was good and there was a lot of hype about it, but the game lacks a lot. Cars 2, if there is one, should fix a lot of the issues, let me explain. When you start the game you have to make choices. There is no information about what effects your choices will have. You have to choose a race class, but there is no information about what types of car(s) would be in that class. Once you start class, you are stuck with that class (as opposed to Forza Motorsport where you can change cars and races at will). To do multiple "classes" you have to be different "drivers." The game "claims" that for each race, you can do practice runs and a qualifying run to determine your starting position (without this you start last). Great, because these tracks are new. However, for the thirds race set, the game started with the race and me last place. There was no practice and no qualifying lap. I tried exiting many times and every time I did not get those options. I could find no way to do anything but start the actual race in last place. The "encouragement" from "friends" via these caned "e-mails" was dorky. In summary, when actually racing, the physics seems good, the graphics are good, and it was okay fun (but not very satisfying), however all the necessary peripherals between starting the game and the actual race is absolutely horrible! It is so bad, that after two race sets and the game failing to perform as stated on the third, I took it back at a loss of $30+. The actually racing is okay, so if version 2 can fix all the other quirks, it could be a reasonable game. Don't waste your money! Spend $20 more and get Forza Motorsport 6!

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.
