The Microsoft Surface Book 2 has amazing battery life, solid build quality, and is really fast. The only complaint, if you can call it that, is the night resolution screen. It looks great, but there are still programs that don’t scale well, so you can wind up with super tiny fonts or menus that you can’t read. However, that’s more a failing of the program developer that the hardware manufacturer, but it is something to be aware of if you have to run some legacy software. If you run into this issue, sometimes you can work around it by lowering the resolution.

Bought this as an upgrade for an Amazon Fire Tablet for kids to allow more videos be be downloaded for offline viewing. In doing a little research, I found that the Fire Tablets can be picky about which memory cards work, but this is the one recommended as compatible and hasn’t had any issues.

Bought this as an upgrade for my Roku TV that came with an IR remote which didn’t work well due to the angle and placement of the TV. This remote doesn’t require line-of-sight to the TV, so it always works no matter how I hold it, and it adds voice capability. Very easy to pair with the TV.

When you can get it on sale, it’s a great value for a 4K streamer with voice remote. I think the comparable Roku device is a little better because of the number of apps available, but this unit is fast and does most everything the average user will want.

After many attempts to get it to fit the well over the buttons, it still doesn’t seems to fit perfectly, but it’s good enough. It adds a nice grip to the remote and gives it a little protection from drops. If you can get it cheap, it’s worth it.

When you can get this SSD at a discount, I think they are the best performing drives when used with the free Samsung Magician software in it’s R.A.P.I.D. Mode.

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.
