If you are replacing a full size hard drive in your PC with an SSD, this will allow you to mount it in the same place the old drive was mounted.

I’ve had AirPods to compare. These have much better battery life. The call quality is great too. While these don’t have noise cancellation, they do have good noise isolation with the earpiece.

I didn’t use them regularly when I first got them, so I didn’t realize that they couldn’t hold a charge. I had been told that these would hold a charge in the case for a long time if you didn’t use them, but I would find them completely run down. Don’t bother with the used ones, go new and save yourself the hassle.

This product is an easy way to get WiFi in another part of the house that may have bad coverage. It’s super easy to use the built-configuration, but it will take a little more effort to configure to match your current WiFi network.

After having it about a month, I've been very pleased with the sound. Some of the advanced features were not all I imagined they would be, but I could be missing something since I haven't read the manual. AirPlay works fine for audio an showing cover art, but I can't get it send video through AirPlay. I also can't get the Chromecast feature to work well (again could be user error). The app for the remote seems to have most of the functions, but it's not very intuitive. Overall, it does the main thing, audio, well which is what lead to my rating.

Streamline your creative process. Writing and drawing with Surface Pen feels natural, with precision ink on one end and a rubber eraser on the other.

Tilt your Surface Pen to shade your sketches just like you would a graphite pencil, using the pen tip that feels right.²

It has great accuracy, feels good, and magnetically attaches. The only feature I wish it had would be the ability to charge it while it’s magnetically attached, but the batteries that come in it last a long time.

is this wireless?

because one of the pictures listed in the slides, shows an antennae, so you might want to remove that picture if it's not of the actual device which I doubt it is.
This device is wired only.

I have Dell OptiPlex 980 two 230GB WD 7200 RPM Hard drive, setup as RAID 1 using SATA3. How can I upgrade to new Samsung EVO 500GB SSD Drives (two of them) and setup the new drives to work as RAID 1? I am using Win 7 Professional32bit. Thanks in advance

Remove the existing drives, setup the new drives as a new RAID 1 volume, then use one of the original drives to clone to the new array.
