I usually like these screen protectors, but in this case the screen protector has a really weird application method which leads to excessive bubbles that take a lot of time to get out. Seems they are trying to use the same method you would have for a phone or tablet and it does not work quite as well. Maybe they should go back to the old credit card looking applicator.

These batteries work as expected. I would not buy for a DSLR but for toys, remotes, and other devices it works perfectly.

I purchased this for my son. It is a nice little coptor and he loves it which makes life easy. BUT the problem is while he loves it when its on....the battery life is awful and so he only gets 10 to 15 minutes of play time with it. It is also a little hard to control and that is without trying to take pictures which isn't an easy task in itself.
For the price, it works for him and is a nice starter and is OK. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this one and would do more research as opposed to this purchase which was a one-off.

I bought this TV to act as a monitor in my home office. This is the second one I have bought for this purpose. My only regret is not buying three to have a set of four of the same monitors. I have had to make some adjustments to make the screen a little brighter and bring out some of the better HD quality, but it works quite well. My first one I bought three years ago and is still alive and running just as well as it did when I first bought it. I also have a cable box plugged in to watch a little tv during the times where I'm locked into the office for hours at a time.

This is my second drive. My first drive I still have (2TB) but is now used exclusively for media. The best thing about this drive is the software which allows you to secure the drive with a password. This provides a lot of comfort and security considering this drive travels with me EVERYWHERE I go. The only issue I have is that the drive appears to be a little slow. This may of course be a mix between the drive and the machine it is plugged into, but I have noticed this because I constantly plug in the drive for backup considering its importance.

I will try to keep this as objective as possible.
I bought the Roku for my four year old so he would be able to watch movies streaming from my PLEX Media Server, PBS Kids, Disney, etc... While I really like this media player and the channels I have access to, there is this really annoying ROKU - HDCP Unauthorized. Content Disabled error that I keep receiving causing me heartburn and headaches. While I understand technology and the fact sometimes it takes a few updates to fix issues, the fact that this issue has been outstanding for the entire life-cycle of this device lets me know that the support of the manufacturer is fairly poor. I can send the device itself back 20 times, but if the hardware and software remains the same this issue does not correct itself. I have scoured the forums and tried everything in the forums including a manufacturers replacement. I have tested this device on all six of the TVs in my house from my 8 year old TV to my 8 wk old television. From expensive Monster cables i have for my 60" Sumsung to the less expensive cables I use for the outputs from computers to TVs I use as computer screens. The issue reappears after a couple of days (sometimes a couple hours) everytime.
If I had to do it all over again, I would not have let me 45 day return period lapse for returning to Best Buy, I would have just bought the ChromeCast I have since replaced it with from the beginning (bringing my total to 6), and should have written my take on it sooner. When the device works....ITS AWESOME, but I should not have to reboot a hundred dollar media device for it to work.

Can I use it with a Surface Pro 3?

I have a 2TB Ultra that works in a laptop or computer, do not work on my Surface.
This drive does work with the Surface Pro 3. I have the 1TB and the 2TB and both work just fine on my Surface Pro 3, my Dell Latitude 3340, my Lenovo Server, my HP Envy, and two or three other laptops and desktops I work on.

I would check in the device manager to ensure the drivers loaded correctly. I do have other devices where the drivers did not load fully and so had to delete the device, reboot the machine, and go through the process again. Surface is a bit sensitive at times.
