Works Fine, Little Large for Mobile Use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I used this same mouse for years on a Dell PC. Have been using Apple Bluetooth mouse for several years now on my iMac. Bought this mouse because I don't like trac pads especially the one on my new Macbook Air. Mouse worked fine but I just didn't like the feel in my hand as it is bigger and much thicker than Apple mouse. Also wasn't crazy about USB dongle that is required to receive the wireless signal. It was simple plug and play. I decided to replace it with a smaller bluetooth mouse which I love. Price wasn't much different.

Perfect for Me

Verified Purchase:Yes
This attach was purchased when I recent;y bought a 13" MacBook Air. It actually replaced a more expensive and much less useful hard shell attach. Provides good protection and lots of sections and pockets for accessories, papers and office supplies. Two sections inside hold laptop and iPad if you need to carry both. Cellphone pocket on outside is a nice touch. Very well made, strong fabric and good zippers which is a problem with some attach. Has both handles and adjustable, removable should strap. Pretty much all I need at a very reasonable price.

Gave it 5 stars because I know Apple techs are top notch. This is the purchase I hope I never need to use. Like most insurance you gotta have it if for nothing else then peace of mind.

MacBook Air features up to 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.1 Its thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go-and powerful enough to do everything once you get there, better.

Bought two MacBook Airs at the same time. One for me, Dad and one for my son. See my first review for details. Suffice it to say my son has had no problem moving from his 5 year old MacBook Pro to the Air. He loves the less bulky lighter machine as he is usually on the go.

Not For Me
on September 24, 2016
Posted by: Ballcoach
from Rockville, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great looking laptop or pad attaché but you have to be willing to trade form for function. It holds next to nothing once the laptop is on board. No outside pockets and really no place inside big enough for paper. Zipper was very stiff but I image that would improve with time. It is also overpriced. I took this back a day after buying it. Found several attaché that were decent looking but were really attachés with room for charger, cords, MacBook and iPad and whatever other junk I just have to have. One I opted for was half the price of the Thule.

Perfect Mid Price Laptop
on September 24, 2016
Posted by: Ballcoach
from Rockville, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
My new MacBook Air plays very nicely with my iMac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Think I am an Apple kind of guy? Haven't had a laptop in a while but a change in business circumstance made it mandatory as iPad will not run the software I need. Opted for the 13 inch screen for portability sake. Not a gamer and my iPad is great for streaming so the screen resolution is plenty good. Set up is simple and will automatically pair with other Apple devices and any wireless printer. Very fast but I haven't taxed it with a lot of memory hogging apps. Only negative is the touch pad but I have never had one I liked. A simple Bluetooth mouse solves the problem.

Works as promised. Installation is relatively easy if you are good with tools and know how to locate studs. I am not so used Geeks to install. Tilt feature allows for higher mounting on wall or above a fireplace if desired. I have a 60" screen mounted and it is very sturdy, no vibration.

Best Protector Available

I have Zagg protectors on all of my devices: iPad, phone, iWatch. Can't buy anything else even close. They are pricey but well worth it. Biggest problem with screen protectors is the installation. I don't even try anymore. Best Buy Geeks do an excellent job for about 8 bucks. I wish Best Buy would reward Premier Elite members with a break on the install.

This is my third iPad version and third keyboard case since Apple manages to not make cases compatible overtime they release a new device. The keyboard cases have come a long way. This one fits perfectly and the bluetooth connection hooked up without incident. Key response is good, cover is solid and pad stands up a god angle. Not sure how it will hold up since i just got it but I have high hopes.

Needed an adapter for my wife's trip to Israel. This one did the job. It is well constructed, relatively small in size and simple to use. If you are traveling to any location that requires an adaptor this will Be more than adequate.

With 300W total power and a 6.5" wireless active subwoofer, this Samsung 400 Series HW-J450/ZA soundbar allows you to add robust, dynamic audio to your existing home theater setup. The Bluetooth 2.1 interface lets you link with select devices.
 

How do I turn on the wireless sub?

I assume your TV has Bluetooth. If not you can't use the wireless. If Bluetooth is on in your TV settings it should find it automatically. If it doesn't there are pairing instructions in the quick set p manual. It's available on Samsung website. Samsung TV remote will not control sound bar. Either use the simple remote that came with unit or get a programmable Harmony remote that will control both..

I just bought a Samsung UN46H5203AF Television and a Samsung HW-J450 Soundbar. I also have DirecTV. Will my TV or DirecTV remote control both?

TV remote will not unless Samsung changed something in that model. I do not have Direct TV so cannot speak for their remotes. My Harmony remote does run both my Samsung TV and Soundbar.

Are you able to change the margins?

Have only used printer with iBook, iPhones and iPads. Margins change just fine from respective apps. I assume you are printing pictures direct from a card or other storage device. On-line docs or User forum would probably answer your question.
