It's an iPad. I don't have to say anything about its many strengths amd few weaknesses, you know what they are already.
Instead, I'll put it like this - if you have an iPad Air 1 (the model with the A7 chip) or a 4th gen or earlier iPad, you should upgrade. The new model is seriously fast. Also, pay the $100 extra and get the 128GB model, so you can keep a media library on your iPad.
Best Buy's trade-in program is pretty fair and pays decently if you're swapping iPads, so keep that in mind when you're looking at the initial price of the device.
Also, as a side note - if you currently have an iPad Air 1, you can reuse manu cases with this iPad. Some cases will need modification where the volume buttons are, since Apple moved those buttons up and got rid of the rotation lock/mute switch. Other cases should work without a problem. Keep in mind that modifying a waterproof case does do away with the waterproof ability of the case.

While I feel these are otherwise overpriced when they're at regular price, they're a bargain at the Deal of the Day price. I bought a pair of these and installed them into "handy boxes", using extension cords to feed them power and essentially turning them into a 4 port chargers.
Otherwise, they work as intended and if I had outlets in locations where they made sense to install, I'd install several throughout the house.

Ghibli films always have those, though. But out of all their films, I think this is perhaps my favorite.
It's just too bad Disney has yet to put this on their "Movies Anywhere" service.

I mean, what hasn't been said about this movie and it's level of epicness?
You get the theatrical cut in 4K HDR, which looks absolutely amazing. You get the extended cut in Blu-Ray, which still looks good. You get both cuts in UltraViolet streaming format, which can be watched through the VUDU, CinemaNow, or Flixster (among other UV-compatible apps).
Also, you get the Steelbook packaging that looks amazing.

While Episode VII isn't the best in the series, it was definitely a return to form for the series after the "Prequel" trilogy being as dismal as it was throughout (though there were a few bright spots in II and III - mostly when Natalie Portman or Hayden Christiansen weren't around).
The Steelbook adds something to the experience as well, since you get a case with custom graphics, no "about this movie" text, and inner art that is just great to look at.

My child was left very entertained by this. There were a few gags that were fun for myself and my wife as well, like the poodle with a fondness for System of a Down and Buddy the Dachshund with his belly-scratcher machine, aka the KitchenAid mixer.
Good enough to watch again.

This is the one you remember from being a kid. It's every big as good now as it was when you grew up. And it's every bit as enjoyable, too.
Complete with that classic Disney voice cast and that Don Bluth animation we all remember from the golden age of Disney animated movies.
Plus digital downloads on all the major video platforms thanks to Disney movies anywhere, so the digital code isn't trapped on iTunes, Google Play, or Vudu.

Do you have a computer that's acting erratic? Have you gone through, cleaned out dust, reseated your RAM, processor, cables, and video card, and it still won't boot?
This is probably the fix you're looking for.
But they are a little overpriced, not a badly as the Energizer or Duracell-branded coin cells through.

is this monitor capable of 120hz?

i see its capable for 75hz but im wondering if it could go higher
I got mine to OC to 85 over VGA but that’s it. DVI and HDMI are both stuck at 60 for me.

If you want 120 or faster, you need a 120 or faster screen.

What is the difference between the vs239h-p and the vs238h-p

TN vs IPS panel. You’ll only notice a real difference if you look at both screens with polarized sunglasses or passive 3D TV glasses.

Is this product compatible with this? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/legrand-radiant-screwless-wall-plate-white/5094300.p?skuId=5094300 Or maybe this? http://www.legrand.us/passandseymour/decorator-plates/unbreakable/standard/tp26w.aspx Thank you.

These work with any decora-style wall plate. I put 2 of mine into a leviton-branded metal w gang box with a matching decora cover plate, wired up with an old extension cord so I could have an 8 port charger wherever I need a squad charger.

Does this outlet consume power even if there isn't a device plugged in?

It does, but on the same scale that Apple power adapters use power when they're plugged in and nothing is connected to them. So we're talking maybe 2 cents worth of power per year, if that.

The only USB wall outlets I can think of that can be totally powered down are the NewerTech-brand outlets, since those have physical switches inside the USB ports. Even so, that's just one more part that can fail.
