Works well for me so far on my M1 mac mini. As others mentioned it does get a little warm when being used but when idle (and connected) it's only slightly warm. No problem reading my flash drives and sd or micro sd cards. I have not tried the hdmi port yet. I have it velcroed to the top of my Mac mini so that it's easy to access the ports and doesn't need any extra space on my desk. It's a little pricey but a very solid piece of hardware.

I upgraded to this from a late 2014 Mac Mini. First the good. The speed of this mac M1 is fantastic! Start up from off is less than 20 seconds. Most things work perfectly. Apps start up very quickly. The computer runs very cool and is totally silent. On the down side - The one issue that many users complain about is the lack of ports and their location on the back of the mini. I plan to fix that with a hub. I have found that there are some compatibility issues that Apple will probably fix in future updates which is why I gave this computer 4 stars instead of 5. I had no issues with the exact same hardware on my previous mac mini. When I wake up the computer from sleep my Logitech bluetooth mouse works for about 15 seconds then freezes. Turning the mouse off then on is the fix and the problem it's gone until the next time the computer wakes up from the next sleep mode. My Logitech webcam c920 doesn't come on with the native Apple apps like Facetime and Photobooth. Apple support couldn't fix this issue. I have to open Facetime, the webcam lights up but but there is no video. Then shut down Facetime wait a few seconds then restart the app and it works perfectly fine. Apps that I installed that asked permission to use the webcam like Zoom and Logitech Control Center work fine. I'm also having some minor alignment issues printing envelopes using Pages with the M1 and my Brother wireless laser printer. My fix is using my Windows computer when I need to do that.

This smart outlet works great. I need to replace my outdoor out which had a remote control that died. This smart outlet was a great solution for under $20. I used it for my holiday lights and from my iPhone set it to come on at sunset and off at midnight. It worked perfectly during the entire holiday season. You set it up on as many different timer schedules as you want and you can also tell Google home or Alexa to turn on or off the lights whenever you want to. The 2 outlets are independant of each other so you can control two different plug in items with different schedules or with your Alexa or Google home.

This computer had a great sale price at the time. For my purposes it's just perfect. I have had other Lenovo computers in the past so I knew it was a brand that I could trust. The computer is fairly light (not super light) and fast for an i5. For the sale price of well under $400 I feel like it was a steal. It runs quietly and cool. There were no issues doing the initial Windows updates which were completed pretty quickly. There's almost no bloatware to get rid of. I've had this computer for several weeks with no issues at all. The only cons might be that there is no port to hard wire the router (wifi only) and the hard drive is on the small side (easy enough to connect an external drive). I'm very happy with with this laptop.

This Qi charger is great! It starts charging through my case as soon as I place my phone on it. Qi chargers typically are much slower than a wired chargers, but this one isn't slow at all. In fact, I find that it's a little quicker to charge than the charger that came with my iPhone Xr. Maybe it's because of the included 10W charger. The footprint is nice and small on my desk and I don't have to lift the phone off my desk for facetime or to see who's calling. It gets a little warm while charging, again typical of all Qi chargers - that's part of the Qi process. It gets just warm not hot and it turn's off and cools down when fully charged. It also charges the phone in the landscape position. I love that it comes with it's own charging block. At this pricepoint many chargers do not supply that. My only negative is that the charging wire it comes with is only 3ft. long. After all, it does have to reach from where ever you place it to an outlet. However, they do say the wire length in the description (no stars deducted) and it's a standard micro usb connection so if needed, you might have a longer wire from other devices.

I was having all kinds of problems with wifi cutting in and out in my house. The Optimum people said that the router they supply can't really handle the 400 mbps speed that I'm paying for and I should buy my own router (go figure). It's been a few weeks now since I bought the Google Nest 2-pack. The set up was easy and I'm getting the speed that I'm paying for and then some. That's with testing wireless (speedtest.net) on my iPhone in the next room from the router. I'm getting good signal in all rooms of my house. I have one unit on the main floor of the house and the other upstairs in my bedroom. I'm even getting a good signal in the basement where I don't have a unit as well as my outside deck. I've cut the cord so I have many devices running at the same time. Now with 3 kids in school and remote learning, good wifi is very important. Great job Google!!

This Omen is fast and quiet with a great graphics card. I expected it to be kind of heavy given what's inside. It's not super light but it's definitely not too heavy. I love this computer. Be aware that it's not a touch screen and doesn't have a super long battery life, but that's a perfectly fine trade off for the power and speed for me.

Amazon - Fire TV Stick 4K with Alexa Voice Remote, Streaming Media Player - Black
With more power, a lightning-fast processor, support for 802.11 ac Wi-Fi, and a new antenna design, Fire TV Stick 4K allows you to enjoy a more complete 4K Ultra HD streaming experience. Launch and control all your favorite movies and TV shows with the next-gen Alexa Voice Remote. New power, volume, and mute buttons let you control your TV, sound bar, and receiver.
Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.
Can this be paired with an iPad mini?
No, this will not work with any iPad. It comes with a USB dongle and Ipads don't have a USB port. This mouse is not Blue Tooth.
