What's great about it: built in stand, keyboard interface is nice, pen works well
What's not so great: keyboard should be included, keyboard should have pen storage
So far we are generally happy with this tablet, we have iPads as well but I like the native functionality with our MS office suite and the syncing with the desktop at work saved a lot of time in setup.
This product is... responsive touch screen, easy to set up, Perfect for Business, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size

What's great about it: it works
What's not so great: twice the price it should be
The good and bad of it....
Good = BB had them in stock, they work, we got out of a jam on some production equipment because BB had them when everyone else was out of them or had the wrong type (D instead of I)

The bad of it....
the BB price was more than twice what we usually pay as a direct importer but time was a problem so we refer to the things that are listed as good above and need to be happy with completing the job.

What's great about it: Multiple user capability, Trending saved to SmartPhone App
What's not so great: Takes a bit of fiddling to learn what is up/down - in/out for each wrist
Setup was easy enough, removed unit from the packaging, plugged in the included charge cable and let it simmer for a few hours. Loaded App to iPhone and Sync'd the cuff to the phone.....
Later that night we set out to compare the product to our old electronic upper arm cuff unit. I took a baseline reading from the old unit and it was a specific reading in the range I was used to, then we tried the wrist cuff and got readings that were either way high or way low. I was about to toss it back in the box and return it but I looked about on line and found some anecdotal comments on how sensitive it was to position and movement during the read cycle so we set up to try it again in a more controlled manner and this time with a recent doctor visit reading on hand which was supplemented with similar readings from my old unit. This time the unit came in on the money 4 out of 5 times on both wrists as far as matching the older unit.
I don't recommend having to take readings several times each time but everyone will during the period where we need to build confidence in the device accuracy, but once that confidence is established we opt for two readings each time, one sitting and one standing which is the normal regimen our HMO team uses.
This was a satisfying purchase when we finally dialed in the process.
Next I want to link it in to the MyFitnessPal App so that my health stats can all be kept in one place along with my FitBit Force WristBand, Workout heart rate monitor and linked in scale.

Rocketfish™ - Mini Display Port-to-VGA Adapter - Multi
This cable connects your Apple® iMac® or MacBook® to an external projector or monitor and supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution for high-quality images.
Will this work with a surface pro 3 docking station?
from looking at the specs and the device, the surface pro 3 has the Mini Display port and this would allow you to connect a standard VGA monitor to the Surface 3 pro directly....
so no there is no Mini port on the docking station you would use the one on the side of the tablet

Will this work for AMD Eyefinity, Is this active or passive adapter?
as to whether it works or not I don't know but it is just a passive cable
HDMI is a superset of the DVI-D signal set so this allows a device with HDMI to display on a DVI-D based display

Dynex™ - DVI-to-VGA Adapter - Black
This adapter featuring copper contacts converts DVI-I video signals into VGA analog.
How many pins on each end?
one one side is the 15pin high density VGA connection (female)
on the DVI-i side you have three groups of pins totaling 17 in all
looking at the DVI end holding the connector so it looks like the letter D
you have a group of 4 pins in two rows (2x2) at the top, just below center there is another group of 8 pins in three rows (3x3x2) and at the bottom portion of the D profile is a set of 4 pins set 2x2 but with a flat blade keying pin splitting the space between them.
the DVI-D version does not have those last 5 pins.

graphics card video output?
I bought XFX R6670 graphics card, and a Dynex DVItoVGA dx-d1114 adaptor to go to my monitor. The geek squad at best buy said it would work. Is this compatible? i'm not getting signal. I've already spent over 300$ in upgrades just to play one game, and now i can't get a signal on my monitor. please help.
Does your mother board have "onboard" video, sometimes you need to go into the bios settings and set which video mode is primary.
if the onboard video is first up your video card will possibly not initialize
if you plug a monitor into the 15pin vga connector on the motherboard and you get video this is probably the case

number of pins!
i'm looking at the dvi side of the adapter and there are two pins both above and below the horizontal copper bar [on the left side] and the dvi socket on the back of my computer does not accommodate these pins. Did I order the wrong part, is there a match for my machine?
There are two types of DVI connections in the DVI world
DVI-D which does not have the extra pins
DVI-I which does have the extra pins
the type of output needs to match the video display input signal requirement so the extra pins are there to keep you from plugging in the wrong type of output signal to the wrong type of device input
