Well, I really wanted to like this screen protector. The privacy feature is nice especially since screen sizes have gotten so big as most anyone in your proximity that can see the screen can read your email also. That part works great. The problem is that it's a pain to install but once you get over that and have it perfectly and I do mean perfectly centered all the way around, it doesn't adhere on all the edges properly so you can see what looks like a long air bubble (most prominent on space grey phones) but it's just because the phone starts to curve and the adhesive doesn't "reach" the edges. And yes, I did center it as I have that issue on both sides so it's not that it is a little off-center. Then, after some use, small chips are found around the perimeter of the cover. I'm guessing that since it's not laying completely flat on the edges that the edges are especially prone to chipping off. Totally not worth the $. I've been through 2 of these and have given up.

Nice to have a pen on the other end. Find a review site that details lots of pros and cons to a large number of styluses and choose the best one for your specific needs and device. Since there are different touchscreen technologies, make sure the stylus you choose is compatible with the screen technology you have, otherwise it just won't work.

You can grab a paper towel and some spray cleaner and clean it in 15 seconds flat. If you like your stuff clean and spotless all the time, this is perhaps the easiest keyboard cover to clean as there's no way for junk to get inside the keys and liquids won't either, so cleaning is a breeze! The cover is high quality and a great fit, also. Key feel is probably second best from the conventional models, but is easy to adjust to.

So my car has the audio input inside the center console and my device has a suction cup mount I put near the gear shifter. The problem is that most round cables are too thick for the center console to completely close--annoying! This is the perfect solution! It's thin enough so that the console will close and the quality is great--no audio issues whatsoever!

Since the wireless keyboard doesn't have the numeric keypad, this is the way to go if you work with a lot of numbers. Plus, no batteries to change! If you've got the room and use numbers (and a Mac), this is the way to go, my friends! Add a Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad and you'll have the ultimate setup.

This trackpad supports multi-touch gestures which is a productivity booster. Pair this with a Magic Mouse for the ultimate desk setup! It's nice to switch back and forth between the trackpad and mouse depending on what task you are doing. Having both is the ultimate!

This mouse looks and works great with any Apple computer. While there are higher end mice, this one is sleek and compact and easy to tuck in a drawer while not in use and has the added benefit of supporting multi-touch gestures. Bluetooth connectivity works great and connects quickly. A seamless experience on a Mac.

This is great with a Mac Mini as it can sit right on top and gives you CD/DVD capabilities since they stopped integrating the drive into them a while back. This drive will work with any other Mac computer (PCs require you to jump through hoops and get the AppleODDInstaller64 drivers loaded--use Google to find the driver) and is a slot loading drive which is much faster to load/unload than dealing with the slow tray.

This is probably about the best monitor you can possibly get unless you spend a LOT more $$$. The 24" with 1920x1200 resolution is a great match. Not too big--not too small. Having 1200 vertical pixels vs. the now more common 1080 (1080p) makes a difference as having that extra bit of vertical screen real estate is nice. Image quality is fantastic and is an all around excellent performer. Highly recommended!

The extra screen size of the iPad Air over the mini is a huge plus for office work like long emails, etc. Add a keyboard case and you can skip taking the laptop unless you need to do some serious heavy duty work.

Is this monitor compatible with the Macbook air?

What connector adaptor would I need? How clear does text appear? I can't afford the Apple monitor?
This monitor supports VGA, DVI & DisplayPort. Skip VGA. Use either DVI or DisplayPort connections as they are both digital and will produce the best picture. Just check what video connector(s) you have on your Mac and buy the least expensive adapter or cable available.

Be patient...check often. They are in stock now, but wait for the sale of $251.99.

Manufacture date?

Where can I find the manufacture date on this product. I'm looking for the A02 (May 2013) version for purchase.
They don't list the revision on their website. I've ordered a few and have received A02. Since they go in and out of stock, it's extremely likely you'll receive the A02.

Dell inspiron

I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive in my dell inspiron n5110, these seem to be about the same size, but I've never switched out the hard drive... will the one work, or should I be looking at the dell store?
Yes, this will fit. However, I strongly recommend that you consider the Intel 530 Series 240GB drive instead as Intel has the best reliability overall. If you really need the extra capacity, you could buy an external hard drive to store the files that won't fit/aren't used that often. As always, don't forget to backup, backup, backup!
