This is not a laptop. It’s so much more. Meet Combo Touch, the keyboard case with trackpad that enables new levels of versatility with iPad Pro. Navigate and work in apps like never before with a new click-anywhere trackpad — our largest ever* — that gives you more space and allows for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures. SMART CONNECTOR technology helps to deliver an incredibly responsive trackpad experience and also makes powering and pairing the keyboard instant. Type comfortably for hours with laptop-like backlit keys that automatically adjust to your environment. You can always see what you're typing thanks to 16 levels of brightness. Enjoy convenient access to volume controls and more with a full row of iPadOS shortcut keys. The iPad Pro meets its aesthetic match with a slim, sleek design — the thinnest keyboard case we've ever designed with a trackpad.* The elegant woven outer fabric feels as great as it looks and the case is molded to fit your iPad Pro, protecting the front, back, and corners from scrapes and bumps. Your iPad Pro is held securely in place so you can have peace of mind that it won’t slip out and focus on what matters most — getting things done. *Compared to Logitech keyboard cases with trackpad released in 2020.

Honestly didn't pay attention when I grabbed this bluray. As it was in the "new release" I thought I was getting the newest that just came out when in actuallity this was the first of the franchise. Anyway, hadn't seen it in years. Still a great movie! The bluray and tv av system I have today made it a new experiance anyway...still worth the watch.

Invaluable when using an Ipad pro for my business for drawings and signatures. Honestly though 2cd I've had to buy is a month. Magnet doesn't hold it tight enough for use in the field. At 100+ dollars each I made it a point to get a case for the tablet before buying the second pen!

The Elite Super Slim fixed-position TV wall mount is designed to emphasize the sleek look of ultra-thin OLED and LED TVs by placing them just .67" / 1.7 cm from the wall. The BLL2 features exclusive ClickStand technology, which holds the bottom of the TV away from the wall for easy cable access without removing the TV from the mount. Convenient quick-release tabs on the mounting brackets stay hidden, but easily pull down to unlock the TV from the wall plate for cable access. All Sanus Elite products are made to deliver unparalleled performance that will elevate your TV and audio experience.
 
Super easy. GREAT price.

Excellent for work purposes, estimates, customer info, material lists and invoices all in one place with attached pictures, permits and licenses. Of course after years of windows and android had to be tutored by geek squad (thanks Chris!) to convert to Apple ios...but worth dealing with the learning curve. Great product. Pencil is an add on but definitly needed.

The Smart Folio for iPad Air is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front and back of your device. It automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. You can easily fold the Smart Folio into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing, or making FaceTime calls.

This NETGEAR Gigabit unmanaged switch helps businesses cost effectively expand their network to Gigabit speeds and high port counts.

This switch is energy-efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frame support allow for seamless integration with sophisticated networks.
 

Is this switch compatible with a mesh router (Google Home)? Will it have any negative effects on it? Thanks

No problem at all. I use it with mesh router and alexa. The switch goes between the modem and tge first unit of the mesh leaving you the extra ethernet units at that point which i use fot 2 computers a lg smart tv and a PS5 with no problems faster and takes a lot of bandwidth weight off the wifi.

Why do they call it wireless when you still have to plug it into a wall socket before you can use it ?

Because it has an app that allows you to monitor via your phone any area the Camara covers and notifies you when motion is detected. The "wire" is just to power the device.
