The Chromecast is an inexpensive way to play video content, music, and screencast from a laptop or phone to a TV. Plugs in to HDMI and USB (for power) and is easy to setup.

I had previously owned the Surface Pro 2 which was one of my most favorite devices I've owned. It was a bit awkward in size so the new Surface computers are really a huge improvement in that regard. You get more screen size, faster computer, and somehow its thinner and lighter.
The design of the device feels as premium as anything out there and the newest version of Windows 10 is much more user friendly. Its also great to buy a device that comes with a clean version of WIndows without a bunch of extra intrusive software.
I personally wanted additional graphics horsepower for games and design programs so I waited to order the Intel Core i7 version because it comes with much better integrated graphics (Iris 540). So far I've been very impressed at the power and have not had the computer feel slowed yet.
If there is a downside, it would be the battery life. Its reasonable to good but when you need the i7 processor at its fullest, it can drain the battery more quickly. I feel like its a small price to pay for the added power on demand.
The included Surface pen is amazing and rivals the Ipad pro in feel and response from what I've seen. This Surface 4 version of the pen is much better than the last in design and quality. Also, there are interchangeable tips offered separately are a nice touch for different pen feel and drawing types.

I wanted a small TV to set up at my desk for video games, and shows with a variety of inputs. This TV has a nice minimal design without any strange design flair and the screen has a nice matte finish to it that is very low on glare. It was nice that the speakers are practically invisible but sound decent for the size.

We bought this to go with a digital camera Christmas gift. It was a good price point and will take a long time to fill up before it needs to be transferred to the computer.

If you have an Xbox One and don't want to pay $100+ for a gaming headset, these sound great and have the mic build-in for a great price. You can hide the mic, and even use these to watch TV or movies without waking others at night.

A friend of mine recently purchased the Fuji X-T1 which had the great feature of Wifi transfers to a phone or tablet. I have a great point and shoot that does not have this feature and started thinking about a new camera. When I went to Best Buy I found the EyeFi cards which I was familiar with but forgot about and realized that I could replace my SD card with this card and gain the Wifi transfer ability.
Now I can use the paired mobile app to transfer images while I'm out and about from my camera to my phone and easily edit and share online without having to wait to transfer on a computer. Feels like I have a brand new camera!

This TV has an excellent picture and very small footprint on the stand or on a wall so most of what you see is screen and not the bezel or speakers. Was able to customize the TV the way I wanted but took a little time.

I wanted to replace my old color laser with something much more compact and with wireless capabilities. This printer was very easy to set up and is about half the size/weight of my old Samsung printer. The printer also has 4 separate toner cartridges which is great if you only need to replace one. Only thing I wish this had was a scanner without adding too much cost.

Great keyboard for the Surface which has vastly improved upon the last version. Touchpad is worlds better and magnetic stabilizer is very useful.

What's great about it: Runs any PC application, extremely portable, drawing tablet
What's not so great: Won't get the most out of it unless you learn the gestures and interface
I believe this is the absolute best device for anyone who needs a real computer, likes to read and browse on a tablet, and has a real use for a stylus (whether for note taking or drawing/sketching).
The Surface Pro lets me run all my Adobe Creative Cloud apps, Revit, and AutoCAD really well and its especially optimized to use Office using touch. I can also sit on the couch and use it as a tablet to read and browse the internet. The part that sets this apart from other laptop/tablet devices though is the stylus since it is pressure sensitive and works like a Wacom tablet, not some mushy nub on most tablets.
Battery lasts all day and its crazy how thin and light it is for packing an Intel i5 and a decent sized screen.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, lightning fast, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Basic web surfing & emails, Student, Social media enthusiast, Gamer, Business Professional, Comfortable with technology, creative professional, interior designer

Will this work with the TV remote control, or is it controlled by using a smart phone.
The Chromecast doesn't have any way to communicate with remotes using infrared sensors and only communicates through WiFi from a mobile device or laptop.

What is the difference between Core i5 and Core i7. What does that mean and is it worth the difference in money from the 1299 to the 1599. Otherwise, it seems like they are the same except for that.
It all kinda depends on what you are going to do with the device. I personally knew that I wanted to play more games and use for more professional design work so any added power (especially graphics) would be important. Many people dont notice but the i7 version comes with much better graphics built in than the i5.
If you arent looking for more heavy duty use, the Core M or i5 handle just about anything great and also generally get better battery life.

The Microsoft Surface Support page says that the Surface Pro 3 can connect to wireless displays when detected. The Wiki page for the Surface claims that it uses the Intel Widi technology to do so.

Surface pro 3 and Microsoft Works
I have several data bases in Microsoft Works that have records I need and use for the past 20 + years. Will I be able to install Works in the Surface?
The Microsoft Compatibility Center website states that Works "is compatible" with Windows 8. Therefore it should work fine on the Surface Pro 3 although touch based gestures might not be ideal as using the touchpad.

Can it take "screen Shots"
Can the Surface Pro 3 take "screen shots" of the current screen for later viewing as the I-Pad can?
This Surface Pro 3 comes with Windows 8.1 which has built in tools for taking screenshots called the "snipping tool". Alternately, I believe you can still press the "print screen" button to copy the screenshot. Then you open an image application to paste it (like Photoshop, or Paint, etc).

is the surface pro 3 compatable with the cricut cutting system
I am mostly interested in using tablet features but would like to be able to connect to my cricut when needed.
The Cricut website states that its software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers. Therefore, it should have no problems working on a Surface Pro 3 computer since it is a full windows device.
