Super cool gadget

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of my favorite items in my laptop bag. I carry my office with me everywhere I go, which means I have a mess of different cables. This has been the best utility item I have purchased in a long time. Not only does it organize my cables but it turns them into a solid item that I can move around. Not only do they work well but they look cool doing it.

These do exactly what they are supposed to do...hold cables together. While they are a higher quality velcro tie, my big complaint is that they have no way to loop around a single cord to become semi-permanently attached. This would make them useful for things like laptop cords or cords that are used for regular travel. On the plus side, for use in the home, these are a great buy.

I bought this as a quick way to offload photos from my phone to my computer. The dual sided USB port is awesome for doing just that. It will plug into my phone and then just as quickly plug into my computer. I even happier with the nice brushed aluminum finish, as this is usually quite visible.

Excellent storage for tablets

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a 256 GB flash drive. Need I say more? PNY has always been a reliable source of memory for me and this USB flash drive is no different. I was happy to see the larger size come to a USB format which is great for expanding the storage of my Surface or carrying large multi media projects back and forth to the studio. The only reason I knocked it down was for aesthetics. There are some very nice , really slim USB drives on the market right now and this is not one of them. Other than the way it looks it is a great drive.

Overall Good Product

Posted by: DanB

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this set to work on my laptop while I was on the road. It was a little more than what I needed, but also the only thing available. As far as PC tool kits go, this has everything I needed. It even included a box of case screws. Overall the construction of all the components was solid and worked as expected. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add different sized screws. I was hoping this would have the flat screws for a 2.5 inch laptop hdd caddy, but it only came with the full size case screws.

Good but Could be Better
on October 14, 2015
Posted by: DanB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always enjoyed the sound and feel of a mechanical keyboard. This keyboard delivers quite well. The keys are sturdy and have excellent travel. The keyboard itself is packaged together in a nice size and weight.
I like the idea of the color changing back lighting for customization. However, I only have two complaints. The first is that the software to change the lighting is a little difficult to use with difficult to understand instructions. The second is that you can only use the macro keys in game mode which actually disables the windows key. While this is not a deal breaker it is a minor frustration.

This is exactly what you would expect. It is a mini display port to HDMI that I purchased to use with my Surface Pro 3 docking station. It works flawlessly, so flawlessly that I forgot I purchased it until I was reminded to do the review.

Excellent Idea Needs Development
on October 14, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this monitor with the idea of being able to have two devices connected and displayed simultaneously. The packaging, and even the display mode on the shelf would lead one to believe that this could be done. Unfortunately it cannot. Other than that, I think this is an excellent monitor. I absolutely love the screen real estate, especially when working in programs like Photoshop and Lightroom. I love being able to have multiple "full screen" applications open without having to shrink them down.

With this Microsoft GU5-00001 wireless keyboard, you can easily connect up to 2 Bluetooth-enabled devices for easy typing and added functionality. The foldable design enables portability and water-repellent keys help prevent accidental damage.
What is the battery life?
I want to use this for extended periods of time. How long will the battery go between charges? I don't want to have to have it plugged in while I work. That defeats the purpose of a wireless keyboard.
I don't have an exact answer, but I purchased it over a month ago, it came charged, and with a few days worth of use and storage in my backpack, it still has a charge. I haven't had to plug it in yet. When you fold it up to put it away it automatically shuts off which really conserves battery time.

is this product compatible with my surface 2?
Yes it is. As a Surface user I know there are times when you want to detach the keyboard and still have a keyboard...this is a perfect solution.

My new computer has Windows 10 which I find very frustrating and hard to operate. Can I unistall 10 and re-install Windows 7 or 8?
That depends on several things:
1. If you bought the computer new with Windows 10, then you would need to find and purchase a Windows 7 or 8 license. They are hard to find and Microsoft is already updating those two to automatically receive Windows 10. If you go this route you would also need to make sure that you got all of the appropriate drivers for whichever version of Windows you move back to. This might cause you to lose some functionality.
2. If you upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 or 8, if it is within 30 days you can roll back to your previous version of Windows through the settings menu, then Update and Security, and then Recovery.
3. If you upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 or 8 but it has been longer than 30 days then you would need to see solution 1.
I hope this helps.

Can windows 10 software be downloaded into a for older windows Vista Desktop
Can Windows 10 be installed into an older HP Windows Visita Home Desktop Computer?
More than likely not. You would have to follow the upgrade path to at least Windows 7 or Windows 8 and then into Win 10.

sofeware to upgrade windows 10
I have widows 10 on my computer, and my drivers need to be upgraded
You will need to visit your computer manufacturer's website to find the specific drivers you are looking for. If you have upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 or Win 8 this may be a difficult task for you. Many computer manufacturers are not releasing Win 10 drivers for computers that started on Win 7. You may want to try to do a clean install of Win 10, rather than individually upgrading components. You can do a Google search of Win 10 clean install for step by step instructions on how to do that.

Microsoft Office 365
I purchased a computer last March and I've been getting emails telling me I need to renew Microsoft office 365 or I won't be able to use the applications if I don't renew. I thought once you have the program on your computer its there until its personally removed. I can understand I would have to renew Webroot antivirus but renewing Microsott sounds like wasted money. Do I really need to renew it?
Yes you really do need to renew it. Microsoft Office 365 is their subscription based service. You can purchase different versions of Office that allow you to keep the software once purchased. The difference is with the one time purchase you are locked into that version until you purchase the next version. With the subscription model you will always have the latest version of Office. Which one you choose will depend on how often you use Office and how often you want to upgrade to the latest version.
