Excellent, bright, sharp display!

I really like this display. I switched from a 27" All-in-One PC, and the monitor was bright/colorful, and I was not sure this one could meet the same quality.
But the bezel is nice and thin, the curve presents a natural view of my pictures and other work, and the image is bright, colors rendered nicely, etc.
Heartily recommend!

This HP desktop computer has a large 1TB hard drive for storing files and the Intel Optane Memory is a smart system accelerator that adapts to your everyday computing activities.

Works Fine, Expectations Too High

Verified Purchase:Yes
I switched from an All-in-One to this desktop PC form factor. Space is not an issue for this box, it fits fine under my desk. But since it is down there, the accessibility of the various ports is not too convenient. The backside ports are hard to reach, and the topside ports are not too tidy-looking. Plus there is a shiny plastic surface adjacent to them that will scratch easily. Nit-picky, I know.
Another thing that I am not seeing is the extra speed implied by the optane memory. I have not seen it, yet. I was hoping that cycling thru pictures in Lightroom develop mode would be smoother, faster than my previous PC. But not so.
But overall, this is a fine machine, and I cannot / should not complain about it so much!

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Converted Samsung Note User

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have previously used the Samsung Note 4 and Note 8, both having styluses. Really liked to be able to pull it out and jot down some notes on the fly.
So when I switched to the iPad Pro, I just had to get the Apple Pencil.
It is different - weight is heavier, girth is bigger, length is longer, point is sharper. But it performs better, seems more versatile. I don't draw, so I think I would get even more use out of it, given its capabilities.
But as a input device, and a note taker, it is terrific.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro delivers an unprecedented combination of portability and performance. At just 6.1mm thin and weighing less than a pound, iPad Pro features the brightest, most advanced Retina display ever with True Tone, advanced sensors that adjust the display to your environment for even more comfortable viewing. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 10 hours of battery life. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

We have only had Samsung tablets before. But the battery always faded fast on them. So in shopping for a new tablet, focused on what battery life was experienced. Read only good reviews.
It has taken time getting used to the iPad way of doing things. I miss being able to customize the screens, show a big clock on the home page, etc. Also, the weight is a lot heftier than my previous tablet.
Otherwise, it has performed well, and I am going a couple of days between charges. Nice!
Screen is very sharp, and I enjoy watching videos on it. In fact I spend a lot more time on the iPad than I do on my PC now. Just easier to plop down anywhere and catch up on my email, youtube, facebook, etc.

We loved this mixer the first time we used it. It came with two pitchers. We used the small one. The next time we wanted to use it, the connector from the pitcher to the motor was eaten up, like it did not seat properly the first time we used it. So now, we make sure when using the large pitcher, that it is properly seated.

Large and perfect replacement for our Thermador

We needed an exact/specific size to replace our built-in old Thermador microwave. We didn't want to also pay the added expense of $200 for a new trim kit so needed an exact size replacement. The LG was PERFECT and also has more features than the old Thermador, and seems to be larger in the inside as well, not to mention the great price!

Once it was set up, it has been great!

I got this for free after buying a 60" Samsung TV. So I shouldn't complain. But it took about an hour to get it working. I was trying to do it over wifi, but that never worked. So tried via bluetooth, and all my devices finally got paired. Speaker + tv + phone + tablet (both android). Now I can listen to my playlists over a better speaker than my devices'. (I have not found any reason for keeping the tv pairing because I already have a 5.1 setup.)

Great TV, but 'smartness' is not its strong point

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the tv for its basic functionality. Picture, sound, etc. But navigating around its smart tv functions is clunky at best. You Tube search is horrible because it takes forever to use the arrow buttons to find the letters. I wanted to get a wireless keyboard, but the don't work on the smart tv side. I wish this model came with the smart remote, but it doesn't.
