By far, one of the best soundbars for use with a home entertainment system. Sound is rich, clear, and the design is clean and simple.

The speaker and ability to connect to Bluetooth is awesome! Cortana does a great job - though in my home of other Alexa devices, Alexa is still hands down the better of the two as an AI device.

I purchased this mainly for the Alexa component, as I already have navigation in the dash. The Alexa component was ok, though the speaker is not great - but you can connect to the stereo Bluetooth to improve that (though you can't listen to other Bluetooth music or be connected to the phone for music at the same time). The screen is terrible and the information displayed is just turn-by-turn (which I knew before purchase). Just wouldn't be worth it for someone wanting the navigation. I ended up returning it.

Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. Playing tunes from Apple Music is easily accommodated through the Sonos App, with the ability to further control playback/pause, volume up/down, and skipping tracks from the capactive touch controls on top of the speaker. Alexa stills needs a bit of work - she speaks louder than the speaker volume control is set for which is disturbing - but they may be able to improve that with software updates. The microphones don't hear as well as the Amazon Echo, but the speaker is much, much better.

A little shorter than the first generation Echo - and maybe a tad bit slower, but the cost is less and the fabric skin is attractive. Overall, it's still a great device. I use it everyday to control home automation like lights, thermostat, etc.

I bought this USB reader to download photos from a microSD card that I use with my DJI drone. Best part is the dual slot which I can also use with an SD card from a digital camera - and it's USB 3.0 which allows for fast transfer rates.

NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Click Switch - Black
NETGEAR Click Switches, with the 1-2-3-4 mounting system, offer the most flexible deployment options combined with effective cable management. Designed to enable easy and neat switch placement in all locations, Click Switches also have the full set of Plus Switch software features such as traffic prioritization, VLANs and cable testing. Two USB ports can charge tablets or smartphones.
is this click switch the same as a hub.
If you connect this switch directly to the internet router, than yes, it will act as a hub communicating to all other devices on the network that are connected to it. If you connect it down the network somewhere connected to another hub or switch, it will act as just a switch. A hub is really just the first switch in the network, but they function similarly.

Microsoft - Surface Pro 10.6" - Tablet PC Intel Core i5 Dual-core (2 Core) 1.70 GHz - 4 GB - Windows 8 Pro - Dark Titanium
Managed. Safety. The security and manageability that you expect from Microsoft. BitLocker encrypts your hard drive's data, helping to keep your stuff safe. Install applications and connect with accessories and printers, just like you always have. Join a corporate domain for full access to your work network. Stellar. Performance. Enjoy fast, powerful performance and stunning visuals. The Intel processor was built using the latest technologies, including HD graphics, to deliver with impressive speed and responsiveness.
Loaded ?
What does Pro & Pro2 come loaded with? Files, apps, Office, word/note, games, photo, etc?
They both come with the same standard apps delivered with Windows 8/Windows 8.1. Mail, Calendar, Photos, Calculator, etc. Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) is not standard on the Pro or Pro2. A trial version of Office is pre-installed, but a license purchase is required. The regular Surface (non-Pro version) comes with Office standard, but keep in mind the regular Surface runs Windows RT, a stripped down version of the full Windows OS. The best part of the Pro versions is the fact that it runs a full version of Windows 8/8.1 which means anything you can install on a regular desktop or laptop running Windows, you can install on the Surface Pro.

confused. what mircosoft surface, HAS the full version of office and can download programs like photoshop and itunes! please let me know!
Purchase the Microsoft Surface Pro or the Surface Pro 2. You will need to purchase the Office suite separately as it does not come standard with the Surface Pro. As for installing other software applications like Photoshop and iTunes, the Pro version runs a full version of Windows 8 - just like a laptop or desktop, so you really can install any piece of software like you would with a regular computer device! It's a great tool - more like a laptop, but also a tablet too!
