This is exactly what I needed in my house. Although it was not as simple and straightforward as I had hoped, it wasn't too hard to get set up. The best part is that I can move around within the house with no dead Wi-Fi zones and my devices do not miss a bear when switching which connection gives them the strongest signal. Also, my Roku in the furthest reach of the house now streams much better.

Got this to use for the guest room TV. It was easy to set up and works perfectly. I do have two complaints, but they are minor. First, since it uses the USB port on the TV to provide power, when the TV is powered off the Roku totally powers down and it takes a few seconds for it to come up when turned on. That would be fixed by plugging it into an adapter that kept the power on. The only other complaint is the same for each Roku; its that you need to use the TV remote to turn on the TV and adjust the volume and then the Roku remote to change channels. It would be great if the Roku remote could do it all.
Otherwise, the picture quality is great and our guests are glad to have the options to watch so many different programs despite the fact that I do not have cable in the guest room.

I had some concern that these would fall out of my ears while I was active, but that has not been a problem. The sound is great and the wireless aspect is fantastic.
My only criticism is when I use them for phone calls. The person I am calling says that the background noise can be too loud and I can tell that there are drop outs sometimes.
They make great headphones for listening, just not as good as I had hoped for phone calls.

This is my first smartwatch and I am very pleased with it. I was concerned that the finish would scratch easily, but it was withstood several bumps that occur during a normal day. I've had it for over a month and rarely take it off. It looks good in casual and dress situations and the functionality is great too. It was easy to learn to use and I look forward to learning more ways to use it in the future.

Is this magnetically shielded ? What should the ideal distance between active subwoofer and TV ?
I don't know if this is magnetically shielded, but unless you are using and older CRT TV, one of those with a glass tube, then you don't need any magnetic shielding. As for ideal distance, there really isn't one. The reason you can get away with one sub in a home set-up is that most rooms in a home aren't large enough for you to be able to hear where a low sound comes from. Higher notes can be located by our ears, which is why you need multiple smaller speakers to localize those sounds, but low notes cannot be in a small room, so you just need one sub. Ideal placement of that sub has more to do with your room shape, furniture layout and listening position. With a sub like this one, you can really get away with putting it just about anywhere in the room; even under a table or in a corner.

No, there is not a way to lock the tablet part. There is a place to use a lock on the docking station.

Powerful Enough
Is the i.7 - 512 GB a powerful enough to run Complex/large MS Project, Visio and Excel applications? I am often running workbooks simultaneously and need a flexible tool to replace a Lenovo Yoga that diedv on me. It looks great in terms of flexibility for travel, but does the small screen make it awkward when working on project plans, gnatt charts, spreadsheets, etc?
Thanks,
Robb
Thanks,

I have run large statistical analysis projects as well as complex charts and found no problem with the machine's horsepower. It does as well as any laptop that I have used. The screen is smaller and I find that I compensate by using the touch screen feature to zoom in and out and pan around to see what I need. I use the docking station in my office and have it hooked to two external monitors that make it work perfectly for my needs.

Dell - 23" Widescreen Flat-Panel IPS LED HD Monitor - Black
With an 8,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and up to 250 cd/m² brightness, this Dell S2340M LED HD monitor displays crisp, brilliant visuals. The tilt function allows you to easily adjust the viewing angles to suit your preferences.
what cable is required to use this monitor with a MS Surface Pro 3 (and/or the docking station)?
I use two pieces from my docking station: 1) a display port to DVI adaptor and then 2) a DVI cable. I also have a second monitor connected to the docking station by using a USB to DVI adaptor and another DVI cable. They both work perfectly side by side.
To connect to the SurfacePro3 directly, I think you would need a mini-display port adaptor to DVI or VGA and then the associated cable. (I believe Microsoft makes an adaptor that is available at BestBuy.) I have not tried this though.

Can I run dual monitors with docking station?
I want to use two external monitors. Can this be done using docking station?
I am able to by plugging one monitor into the display port adapter on the docking station and then using a USB adapter to run another one. I've heard that you can plug one into the mini display port adapter on the tablet while it is in the docking station, but I chose the USB adapter so I didn't have to adjust any plugs when I dock it.
Another alternative is to use a daisy chained monitor set-up, but this requires specially capable monitors that are much more expensive than the standard ones.
