I enjoyed this move quite a bit, I think it starts to make up for the three lacking prequels we had to endure. If you enjoyed the original trilogy then I think you will enjoy this one as well. It's hard to see the parallels between The Force Awakens and A New Hope but I also think that was part of the charm of the movie as well.

I initially bought this for a family trip to Disneyland. I have an iPhone 6 plus and found that I could get roughly two charges out of the battery, I was usually around 20% when I would plug it in, which was perfect for my needs. I have used it a few times since then and it seems to do its job just fine. My only "complaint" is that I wish they would have integrated the charging cable into the design. I have found myself wrapping the charging cable around the battery because of its design since the fins look like a cord organizing channel. I wish they had just integrated the cord or remove the fins to make it a bit smaller. Other than that I would recommend this without a problem. Thanks.

I have had the amazon fire tv for about a month now and I think it's solid. I had the apple tv for about 3 years before this and compared the amazon fire to the newest apple tv when I made this choice. The services I use (netflix and hulu plus) were available on both but since I am also a amazon prime member and the shows are generally cheaper via the amazon store I chose the fire tv. The set up was easy and I like the user interface. The system response is snappy compared to the older apple tv but I am noticing a bit more random resets and freezing with the fire tv. I suspect it's software related and can get worked out with updates. I think it's solid and would recommend the fire tv to anyone asking.

What's great about it: usb 3.0, large size, speed
What's not so great: so-so design
I bought it while on sale and it's a fantastic deal so far. I keep a large number of photos and videos on it for family and friends.
My only complaint is the design and possible durability due to the sliding cap. Although, if the cap breaks it would still function just fine.
I'd have no problem suggesting this drive for someone who needed inexpensive, large, fast storage.

What's great about it: sale price, no included software
What's not so great: so-so design
I got this on sale and it works... that's about what I was expecting. I like to keep a couple "smaller' thumb drives around for when we need to give pics to family/friends and this seems perfectly fine.
I'm not a huge fan of the sliding cap design, but even if the cap breaks you could still use the drive so it really doesn't matter. I appreciate that it didn't come with any pre-loaded software like some of the sandisk drives used to and I think I've seen it on a couple other drives recently. I'd have no problem suggesting this to someone who needed a flash drive for backup or occasional use.

What's great about it: Comfortable, durable, good sound
What's not so great: they're not free.
This is my third pair of Klipsch headphones and I'll continue to buy them as I need replacements (I keep washing them otherwise I'd probably still be on my first pair). I appreciate the different size eartips (I have big ears) and the sound they produce is perfectly fine when you're talking about inexpensive headphones. I use these with my iphone and also as my computer headset when watching movies or listening to music after my wife and son are in bed. If these are within your budget I'd definitely suggest giving them a chance, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Bought a brand new 32GB, but when inserted into my laptop only one side blinks instead of both sides, is that normal?

Possibly, all drives are different. It could have a different indicator light for read and write which would make that perfectly normal. I'd think that as long as you see the drive in explorer and the full available capacity is indicated you should have a problem. You can always reformat the drive and check for errors if needed as well.
