Bought this drive to replace 1 TB drive in a Dell Computer.
Pros: It's 480Gigs which is more than enough for a boot drive, running program and storing most of my games.
The seek time is great for finding and loading programs. Machine boots much faster, less than 10-15 seconds.
Cons: It's not the best/fastest, similar to Samsung drives I have previously purchased in other machines, however, for the price its a logical choice.
No instructions, but since I've set up SSD drives before it was no big deal. No cloning software is included, nor downloadable from Sandisk. Have to use someone else's software. Search cloning software and you can find "low cost/free personal use cloning software".
Other Thoughts: I got this on sale, if not on sale it would of been overpriced. All around a good drive for boot, programs and storage.
A fast-loading SSD can cut dozens of seconds off the loading times of games like Battlefield 4, World of Warcraft, etc. An SSD will make installing, booting, dying and reloading in games a faster, smoother process.

The Good: The iPad Air 2 has a great balance of size and weight. Crisp, bright display. iOS 9 runs perfectly, including split-screen apps.
The Bad: Priced relatively high for a tablet; used to resist paying additional cost for Apple products.
Apple continues to make great tablets. Having used Android and Apple tablets, the Ipad series continues to be the better tablet.
Ipad air 2, better performance/more responsive. The main reason to recommend the Air 2 over all other iPads is it strikes the perfect balance between a reading/playing/viewing tablet and something a bit more productive. It can be carried pretty easily in one hand and feels like reading a book. Magazines and feature articles look good on its screen.
Watching Netflix provides a good screen size, looks sharp.
IOS 9 runs great which includes all of the latest features, including split screen and finger print access.

Been using this mouse and will compare it to the Logitech MX and G700 it replaces...
---First, my stats---
Primary use: minor gaming, internet, email, etc...
Usage: several hours a day
---Comfort---
The MX is a Logitech mouse which nails comfort. The G700 is also comfortable. I've never had any fatigue or issue with the Logitech mice and love how well this one also fits my hand.
The G602 is good/great in terms of comfort. The wing extending on the left side is a good length and my thumb rests very well on it. The texture of the wing is a textured soft-touch material.
Has programmable buttons, not as many as the G700, but has much longer battery life.
Bought on sales (half price), making it an excellent purchase.

Being a PC gamer, was skeptical of dedicated gaming systems. However, PS4 has good graphics, downloadable gaming, plays DVD/Blueray, and includes on-line apps like Hulu, Netflix, etc...
The Dual shock controller is excellent. Note that previous PS3 or Logitech controllers do not appear to work with the PS4.
Unit includes 500 GB harddrive which is where the downloaded games are stored. The system and (3) included games appeared to use about 90 GB. The console interconnects via 2.4 Ghz wireless network. Connected w/o issue.
Setup/installation was easy (HDMI only). Need to register at Sony online network, set up adult (master) account, set up sub-account(s) for under 18 users. Credit card not required to be entered unless purchasing games.

This is a fantastic mid-range card for the price (price matched competition). Runs better, cooler and more quite than my ATI Radeon 7850 XFX edition it replaced. Works fantastically, more than 40% faster. Runs all my Steam games, averaging higher than 60 FPS.
Note - this card is large/long - and took all the available space in the Dell computer. Already had an upgraded power supply. Review the power supply requirements, most PC default power supplies not large enough.

Wireless rear speakers doesn't eliminate all wires, just long wires from stereo receiver to speakers.
Rear speakers wires to receiver and has to be plugged in. Stereo wires to transmitter.
System works well. No issues as of yet. 5.1 surround works well,

Will this iPad 2017 work with my phone's hotspot?

Yes, there shouldn’t be any reason, that this iPad wouldn’t hook to a hot spot. It would either connect via standard wireless or if iPhone is doing the hot spot - then via bluetooth.

Immensely powerful, portable, and capable, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro features a redesigned Retina display that is the most advanced on the planet, while the A10X Fusion chip delivers more power than most PC laptops. ¹ With Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard, and iOS—the most advanced mobile operating system—iPad Pro is designed for the world we live in today. ²
 

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.

I have never owned any apple products, thinking of getting this ipad . i use alot of office ie excel and word , will this ipad come with office, if yes will it be lifetime use or 1 year

You can get office from apple (app) store. However, to edit files, have to purchase subscription to office 365 (which is yearly).

I am using google docs for minor editing. Heavy excel use, hard to beat the PC.

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.
