I've used these for a couple of years now and just bought three more pair (I lost one somewhere at home!). They work . That's it.
THEY WORK.
The case can be stuck to your cell phone case or just carried in a shirt pocket. The only problem is if I set them down outside of their case and forget where I put them. They kinda blend in because they are clear and really thin. They are worth it.
Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I've had this for quite a while now and it has done exactly what it is built to do without fail. So...I bought four more Dyson air purifiers. Two TP01 models, one TP02 model and most recently one TP04 model.
And I am about to purchase at least one more of the DP04 models. Maybe two as my older brother and his wife suffer from allergies and I think the DP04 would provide excellent relief in their home.
Highly recommended? Yup. I don't buy junque and Dyson makes an excellent product.

This is a fine laptop. Fast. Quiet. Cool running too, even when charging on my lap as I work. But...Like another laptop I had it also loses the touchscreen feature several times an hour. I have to close the program and reopen it and hope it stops. It does not. This is getting old fast and I have a few days left to return it as I am in the ElitePlus category but I don't want to return it I want it to work.
The only other problem it has is when watching a movie or even a video and I enlarge the screen the top of the screen splits and wavers with the upper image. I don't know how else to explain this but I know it should not do this.
I would still recommend it to friends and family because I am hoping this stupid touchscreen problem can be rectified by firmware and the same with the weirdo screen problem I mentioned. And yes, I have done every update under the sun so far, LOL!

Other than a recurring (a LOT) problem with the touch screen not working, this is the best laptop I have owned!
Fast? At 5 GHz I have a wireless download speed of 500+ mbps.
How's the screen? EXCELLENTE'!
Keyboard? Superb-A-Mundo!
Highly recommended in spite of the screen glitch which just means I'll exchange it for another one. This laptop is that good!

I already own this great little 'botcuum and so I bought this one for my daughter and her family.
That says it all. I don't give junque and this vacuum is really a gem. Of course I named mine "Bob" and they christened theirs "Ed" as in the wonderful cartoon character from "Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy".
Like Bob, Ed gets the job done and keeps the floors cleaned without a problemo baby sister!!!!

Is the film dated? Heck no! It's got Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields along with Jerry Reid and the coolest car of it's time, that Pontiac Trans Am.
No PCBS to be seen or heard and everyone in this film and in the USA is a fan of Country Music (NOT that hick-hop junque that is foisted on us today) and The Bandit. You can see the love in the eyes of Fields and Reynolds every time they look at one another. You can see just how much fun this film was to make and how everyone associated with it was alive with the moments they were putting down on celluloid for generations to come to watch and enjoy.
Highly recommended? Indeed.

An excellent light hearted musical based upon the Faustian premise of selling one's soul to the Devil. Look, they don't make 'em like this anymore because Hollywood has sold it's collective soul so take the time to buy this and enjoy it as often as you wish.
The print isn't the best but the songs, dancing and acting along with a baseball stage is what brings the smiles and the memories flowing back to a time when sports meant something because the players weren't prima donnas (apologies to Dion!).
Highly recommended because it is worthy it!

I got this for me to replace a Fire Tablet 10. I like it a LOT so far. Download speed per Speednet on my giga network (wireless) is 200 or so mbps.
It has my Amazon UHD Music on it. It has my SiriusXM on it. It has my Pandora One on it. It has a 256 gig microSD in it now and so it hase 16,000+ songs of my own on it. I can easily view a movie on it without any buffering problems and the picture is quite good? Sound? I use quality headphones and it outputs the music and movie soundtracks with superlative accoustified greatness.
LOL!
It smurfs the web just fine and travels anywhere I may wish to take it with ease.
I refuse to buy junque and that is why I bought this Samsung tablet: It is EXCELLENTE'!!!!

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
 

Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display ~ the brightest iPhone display yet.~ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
 

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

In gaming mode the refresh rate is 144Hz.

Does this have a fiber optic output

The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?

8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.

If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks

Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?

The standards are backward compatible. I hope this proves helpful to you!

What is the Ethernet port's maximum BPS achievable.

I have found it to be fast enough for 4K films via Disney +, Amazon and MAX. My wireless hardwired speeds regularly exceeed 700+ MPS and wired is up to 1 Gig +.

There is no buffering of film or music as I sometimes use the TV for Atmos Encoded music.

Does the tv have clear picture when viewed at an angle or is it better viewed straight on

No complaints so far with this aspect of ownership! This TV is overall the best I have owned!

Is this the best tv for bright rooms?

This TV is so far excellent in bright rooms, natural or electric light matters not! Overall this is the nicest TV I have owned!

My only problem is very dark scenes that are CG generated as they appear blotchy or blocked (not from digital latency!).

An example is that I use a YouTube video of a thunderstorm over the ocean and the clouds are horribly rendered. This never happened on my 6.5 year old Samsung curved TV.

If Hisense can lend me a hand I would very much appreciate it!

But yes(!) so far in a bright room this TV shines!

I have a Xm subscription and want to buy this kit to put on my touring motorcycle and use my existing subscription. Has anyone put this kit on a bike? I have a usb plug in.

I used it on my 2006 GL1800. I put the unit and the car power adaptor in the right fairing pocket, and plugged the unit's Aux out to the Aux in that is in that fairing pocket.

I then routed the antenna out of the fairing pocket via a small channel I made in the pocket so the wire would not be pinched, and the cable was then routed under and along the lip of the saddle to the back and was placed on the rear speaker via double-sided Velcro. It worked great for years and many miles.

Hope this helps.
