I had the extended warranty on my Surface pro 3 keyboard and the key popped off so I brought it in to BB. Well, I was happy to see the SP4 keyboard in stock so I tried it and fell in love.
Pros:
larger trackpad with increased sensitiviy (no longer have to tap hard)
amazing key spacing
great tactile feel while typing
way softer clicks while typing
back light on keys looks way nicer
volume buttons and Print Screen now on top row
function lock on Fn key is nice extra
Fully compatible with my SP3 and magnetic strip for second angle does work as it should
does feel more stiff and sturdy

I'm very impressed with this watch as it's very sleek, yet bold, and love the new low price. I'm coming from the Gear 2 Neo, which is nice but didn't like being limited to Samsung phones.
pros:
light weight
light weight
all metal frame and watch band now
Compatibility with Android devices vs just Samsung
full circle design with no bezels (flat tire thing is not a problem at all blends into watch faces)
Android wear 1.3 and lolipop 5.1.1 update out of the box..is awesome, shows me all notifications,
I'm able to control camera with it as well as music, youtube videos, see and read full emails and respond via voice,
texts with emoji or voice (amazing voice recognition)
lots of accessories on the web
water and dust resistant
stylish yet bold and sleek looking ( I have silver one)
Wireless charging (comes with dock)
Tons of watch faces and customization
easy to use and set up with phone
cons:
battery is good enough to make it through the day. but it all depends on how much notifications you let it receive as well as how much you use it. It hasn't died on me yet but do charge it nightly.

I had the previous model for several months and didn't like how fast my case would lose it's charge and sound was very low even when just watching youtube and worse when on the phone.
Pros:
much more full and louder sound for music, youtube, and calls
creates a sound blocking seal in your ear
way longer battery on case which gives me more charges on my Hint
perfect if you are a casual user of phone
super discreet and light weight
total geek gadget
feels like spy tech
very clear calls (all depends on your area and network)
able to wear with cap, or hoodie, or beanie and even ear muffs
noise cancellation is pretty solid
protective case / charging case (great for throwing it in backpack or bag)

What's great about it: small, light, compact, case, uses micro usb
What's not so great: nothing yet
Just got this as a gift and exchanged for my Plantronics legend Voyager. I love how light and extremely comfortable it is with no ear fatigue. I think the included charging case is awesome and love how I can use my micro usb cord to charge both the case or headset separately without needing a special cord like the Voyager.
I am able to use it with sunglasses and is very discreet and looks totally tech geeky.

What's great about it: Compact, sounds really good for size, customizable and upgradable
What's not so great: Wish it had a little kickstand so you could angle it towards you
I decided to upgrade my Braven 600 speaker so I found this tiny speaker and it works great. They are equally loud but way more compact.
I use this for work as I'm an Instructor and use it to play music before class. The Braven was to large like a brick in my bag. Since I recently switched to a smaller computer bag the Ogio Covert 13. I needed a smaller speaker to fit inside.
Well this one sure worked out perfectly! If fits in my bag no problem and gives me the sound to fill a room. I like that it's customizable and the Live Audio makes it sound deeper and fuller.
I also use it as speaker phone and for personal use at home and it works great.
Great sound for the size and truly portable, I paid $96 when it was on sale so really a great deal.

I am total Tech Geek as well as always up to date latest tech news. I heard about the new Gear line up and wasn't sure what to expect, but when I saw the Gear fit I knew I had to have it. But then when I saw the Gear 2 Neo for the same price and way more functionality...it was a no brainer for me. Not only do I have a very sleek, stylish as well as Stealth looking black watch. But I have the power of fully customizing it to my liking as well as side loading music, pictures and more with the 4 gigs of space on it is great. To me being able to make it truly mine means everything to me. Hypoallergenic band, water resistant and dust proof make it that much more awesome. But to be able to make, receive, answer and reject calls, texts, as well as view notifications for my email accounts and facebook...that's Flipping just flipping awesome.

I am a person that loves gadgets and technology. I had the Asus transformer tf700 tablet w/ keyboard as my main computing device which I loved...Until the hinges broke a second time inside tablet which were plastic (dumb!).
Due to this I took to it back and got my in-store credit to use and I took my time researching and trying out difference devices. I already had my eye on the Yoga since last year. Well now that I had the chance I snagged it up and couldn't be happier.
Pros
fast computing with i5 processor
reliable full windows version 8.1 out of the box
sturdy hardware
great keyboard
fast charging with new rapid charger
awesome texture feel on both outside shell as well as wrist rest area (silky, grippy and sexy)
Awesome form factor with clean lines and book style design
Different modes:
-I find my self using the stand mode at night in bed when checking out videos and web surfing.
- I use laptop mode during work hours and have even used tablet mode.
- tent mode I haven't used but see how it could be useful if you have dirty surface or limited surface space.
Full HDMI
full SD card slot
USB 3.0 is blazing fast
and regular 2.0 slot as well
perfect for the constant traveler due to its compact size and light weight.

I would have been ok with a rear facing camera in case you want to show someone something you are looking at, but not a huge problem.

the power cord could be made in L shape to take up less space or not be in the way so much. (again I'm just nit picking here)
Didn't come with MS Office
Great device overall if you can't afford this model I hear the $499 model is good with Bay trail as processor.

What's great about it: Great sound on both ends, easy to use, lots of features
What's not so great: nothing I can complain about
I had recently purchased the Jawbone Icon HD which at first was great but then noticed it keps slidding down my jaw line to point downwards. That was a problem as it only works best when touching jaw line and facing mouth and I had to keep using cheap ear hook that always fell off and over all felt cheap to me.
So I got this awesome headdset that fits so naturally over ear and in ear for great support. It is also very light weight and comfortable that you won't feel it. Not to mention that it doesn't move once it's on unless you move it. I love how professional it looks with sleek boom arm.
I also liked that I could control volume from rocker behind ear and mute calls or pause music as well as answer and hang up calls from the function buttons it has on device. But you won't even have to press anything if you want to answer or hang up just say so and it does it. I like how it colapses/ folds to make it self flat and fits nicely into my jacket pocket or shirt chest pocket with out being bulky.

Sound quality is great and i'm able to control it from device and from phone for extra loudness unlike Jawbone. I was able to hear clearly and was heard clearly as well.
The magnetic 6 inch charging cord is awesome unique and great for travel. I don't have to do anything except plug it into my computer/laptop or car when charge needed. I first thought this would be a problem as all my devices use micro USB. But because it is short and easy to travel with all I really need is USB port to plug into.
The battery life is amazing with 7 hours talk time and days on stand by vs the Icon HD only had 4 and it would die very fast. I have the Galaxy S3 and it works great with it. This is a must have for awesome design, look, feel, stability, and for those to travel a lot as I do.

I just received gear fit2 & the screen is so sensitive, it turns on each time I move my hand. Is there any way it would not turn on? I didn't even do any workout yet, just staying home, and it's getting annoying when screen goes constantly on & off
Yes, if you pull down from the top. You will see a brightness button and a minus sign. click on the minus sign and you will be able to put it in sleep mode. It will still track your steps and all that but you won't get notifications. This is good for when sleeping with device so you don't get woken up and screen doesn't turn on.
