Family members love the TV.
This is a really nice basic TV. HDMI inputs, plus an antenna and a component input. The picture on the TV is very crisp, and the lighting is even. Sound is good. The stand is also very steady, and only took a few minutes to install on the TV. The remote is basic and very intuitive. Overall, this was a great choice for a budget TV.

What is Echo Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice.

All you have to do is ask.Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound. It has seven microphones and beamforming technology so it can hear you from across the room-even while music is playing. When you want to use Echo, just say the wake word "Alexa" and Echo responds instantly.

Amazon Echo
The Amazon Echo is a great device with many benefits that can improve everyone’s day to day life, and only has a few minor drawbacks that does not take away much from the quality of the product. The Echo is useful for anyone who wants to initiate music, catch up on news headlines, and find out the weather for the day from simply speaking to the device.
Pros: My main use for the Echo is to use it as a speaker and it works perfectly! The ability to connect it to use music apps or your phone allows the ability to play essentially any song. For a small speaker Echo provides crisp audio that is surprisingly loud. Its maximum volume is plenty. I have no need for a blaring speaker. Another feature, is the drop-in feature. This allows you to call your contacts that also have Amazon speakers.
One of the best skills is making sounds overnight (like fans or relaxing sounds) which can help with relaxing and sleeping.
Cons: Sometimes Alexa can be pretty hit or miss when picking up your voice. It is important to be loud and clear when speaking to Alexa. I wish there would be a larger variety of skills, although each day it seems like they are adding more which is a promising sign.I purchased on sale which helped lower the cost, but otherwise it is fairly expensive.

Dynex™ - 2.4A USB Wall Outlet (2-Pack) - White

These are very handy for common charge locations for digital devices. Relatively easy to install if you can change a receptacle or a switch. Be sure to turn off breaker.Remember that these are larger than an average receptacle, about the size of a GFCI. Great way to do away with the charger portion and just use a cable.
When plugging into the bottom outlet, depending on the size of plug you are connecting into the outlet, may not be able to use the USB outlets at the same time. However, this is not an issue with the top outlet. Installation is easy. The convenience of having the USB with outlets is definitely a luxury.

This is a great pad, at a great price. This is Apple’s latest iPad, which has more base memory than previous versions. This iPad, at this price point, is one of their best deals. If looking to upgrade or get an iPad, you shouldn’t pass up this deal. For standard browsing, email, etc, you can not beat this iPad.

Sixth iPad I’ve purchased starting since 4th generation.
Each model gets nicer, this pad upgrades from the 4th gen pad (which doesn’t support IOS 11). Also use iPad Air 2. This pad is faster, more responsive with more memory. Also pad has larger screen w/o sacrificing overall size (IMO 12.9 is too large for my needs).
The larger pad is beneficial for graphics and editing functions. I have not gotten apple pen, as I am using stylus.
Only complaint is cost, however, hard to beat apple quality and their infrastructure.

Great case, have dropped phone a few times, and everything came out alright.
Case is rugged enough to barely show the scratches while preventing scratches on the phone itself.
Meaning, the case did it’s job.

I have used Linksys/Cisco/Asus routers - usually requiring 2 routers to cover the house. Then coverage and speed is spotty, with drop outs, etc... Bought this router, covers entire house, and speed is over 100 Mbps, wireless. This router uses an app for setup, no webpage interface. The app has decent features for setting up the router. No tweaking of wireless channels, or similar features. Does allow setting static IPs, port forwarding, and similar functions.
I gave it 4 starts (instead of the 5 is deserves) because in bridge mode - almost all features are disabled. Had to purchase a larger switch and revised my network, and convert a PC to wireless (instead of hard wired). Thus if your network is all wireless - and you wont need bridge mode or custom settings - this is the router.

This is high quality and fast laptop, that I purchased for my daughter (freshman engineering student).
Fast and powerful, and includes dedicated graphics needed for engineering school software and will run solid works.
Only complaint would be costs. There are lower cost models, but not recommended to utilize commodity market laptops over higher quality laptops.

What would users and apple gurus recommend to buy .. the new iPad Pro 10.5 for latest specs, or for same price the 2015 iPad Pro 12.9 for larger display size ?? Appreciate thoughts!!
Google iPad pro comparison. The newer model, I believe has upgraded processor (A9x vs A10x). Newer model may also have twice the ram. Not sure you will notice big difference in everyday use. Apple quotes 30% faster.
The better decision is screen size. You should go to B.B. and hold them. IMO, the 12.9 is too large for portability in the field (to carry around and use mobile).
If going to use sitting around, larger pad might be fine. I didn’t look at screen quality for the larger screen. I would assume that apps scale to the larger screen, and I don’t know if that will pixelate on the 12.9. I haven’t noticed issue on the 10.5 screen.

Is the 10.5 inch iPad Pro better than the iPad mini 2? And should I get one if I just got my iPad mini 2
It’s not an Apples to Apples comparison. The 10.5 is fastest in fleet with second largest screen.
1st have to decide on the screen size you prefer.
2nd decide on your needs.
If your trying to decide on returning the mini and get 10.5; That would be my suggestion.
If trying to decide in having both, not a bad idea to have a main pad and mini backup.
