What's not so great: Its all plastic, does not have a metal end.

Protection meets style in this unique and highly functional case for most laptops with up to a 17" widescreen display.

Really great case,Except... the strap to secure the laptop is useless unkess your laptop is 6" thick. there is no adjustment. Laptop slides all over. It goes back to store today.

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

I feel like I am only using 10% of the things that are available. Wish there was better instructions.

Experience pristine audio when watching programming with the Bose Solo 5 TV Soundbar. The dialogue mode lets you hear each spoken word with clarity without having to adjust the volume. Place the sleek Bose Solo 5 TV soundbar anywhere in the home, and connect wirelessly with Bluetooth for audio listening.

We love our big screen HD Smart TV mounted on the wall but have never been happy with all the sound blasting out of the back of the TV.
It would bounce off the wall and deafen anyone in the kitchen, but where my wife would sit in the living room she couldn't hear the voices unless it was sky high, and it would blast me out of the room.
If your looking for a theater surround sound, look further.
But if your looking for a very high quality compact soundbar with excellent sound at a very reasonable price I highly recommend the Bose Solo 5.

Sound was cutting out, but found the problem
November 6, 2016
Sound would frequently cut out completely for a second or two. I mean 20 time or so in a one hour show.
The issue was an audio output setting on my Vizio TV.
It had been set to bitstream.
I did a little online research and switched that output to PCM and the issue is history.
No more cutting out.

Add stability to your home network with the Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender. With DirectLink technology, it avoids signal loss by adding another 5GHz Wi-Fi channel to the standard setup, which it then uses strictly for receiving signal from the source. This Amped Wireless HELIOS-EX Wi-Fi Extender covers an area of up to 12,000 sq. ft. and includes four Gigabit network ports.

I have never had a repeater/expander work as well as this one.
It sets up a 5ghz band dedicated to communication with your current router and then sends out its own 5ghz and a 2.4 ghz band of its own.
Its three antennas and 12 repeaters ensure its putting out an equally as good signal as the router is. It looks like an antenna router itself and expands the coverage of your wifi to a potential 12,000 foot area that for most will include at least the immediate area outside. (Yard, porches and driveway).
Of course exact coverage limits will be more restricted by obstructions than this repeater or your router.

And Setup Was Super Easy And Quick. :)
May 6, 2017
I did the setup from my iPhone following the instructions provided and the on screen prompts.
From the time I went to the link in the instructions with my iphone until I had the repeater online and broadcasting was only 5 minutes or so.
Never have I been able to put anything on a wifi network and have it up and running so quickly and easily.

Relax and listen with these Master & Dynamic wireless over-ear headphones. The 45mm neodymium drivers blast sound straight into your ears for up to 16 hours, yet they remain comfortable thanks to the padded ear cups. Connect these Master & Dynamic wireless over-ear headphones to your compatible smartphone or laptop via Bluetooth 4.1 to enjoy easy streaming.

Everything about these screams quality and perfection.
From the quality machined metal parts to the premium cowhide headband and lambskin ear pieces to the cloth covered cords and canvas cases, the look and feel of quality is in every component.
There is also a round leather covered box to keep the cables in if you desire.
Even the box they come in is classy and very durable.
As for the sound, Everything from Classical Symphony to AC/DC with a stop in the country genre is what I used to put these thru the paces and they didn't fail me anywhere.
Every note in every range of all the music was crisp and clear as well as excellent quality on all vocalization.
No disruption or breakup of the bluetooth signal even when I walked into two adjacent rooms and the signal had to go through two walls, the sounds remained impeckable.
I have claimed these at my house for me at our house and I'll be very selective of letting anyone who is not old enough to appreciate such a fine article near them.
We also have a pair of Bose Noise Canceling Headphones and in the respect of noise cancellation, the Master and Dynamic set equal or exceed the Bose.
These are a pricy selection, but it will be money well spent if you appreciate music and want to own a set of headphones you will be proud to own and show off.

My Error, These Are Not Noise Cancelling
May 22, 2017
I should have said "While these are not noise cancelling, they are equal to my Bose Noise Cancelling headphones in sound isolation."
Please pardon the error in my review. ;)

Enjoy gourmet food faster with this Instant Pot programmable multi-cooker. The seven built-in functions eliminate the need for a slow cooker, yogurt maker or steamer, and one-touch smart programs prepare soups and meats to perfection. The stainless steel design of this Instant Pot programmable multi-cooker distributes heat evenly and ensures dishes stay full of flavor.

It had me at Pulled Pork :)
I did a 2.5 pound pork roast and followed the recipe for root beer pulled pork for an electric pressure/multi cooker and it turned out great, and was ready to eat in 45 minutes.
We did add a little bottled BBQ sauce to the sandwiches as we made them to get them to that just the way we like em point ;)
The meat was fully cooked, tender and separated easily with two dinner forks.
Clean up was super easy as it was all done in the stainless steel inner pot.
We bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 which is a 7-in-1 programmable cooker that is supposed to speed up cooking by 2~6 times and use up to 70% less energy. The inner stainless steel cooking pot is made very well with a super heavy duty metal. The entire unit feels like its components are equally well made.
It's really easy to use and has 10 safety features making it less frightening to the beginner using a pressure cooker.
Since it is also a steamer,canner, you can saute in it, a yogurt maker, rice cooker and warmer, I wouldn't say I will use it every evening but I can see me using it a lot.
I was hesitant to buy one, seeing it as another kitchen appliance gadget that I would end up sitting on a shelf in the basement, but after just using it once I can pretty much say that is not likely to happen :)

PapawJeff's Questions
PapawJeff has not submitted any questions.
Wirelessly surf, email, stream HD video, on-line game, make Internet phone calls. Less interference and better connections using dual band Wireless-N. Better speed and range than other USB Wireless-N adapters. Easy and secure wireless connections. Works with older Wi-Fi as well as new Wireless-N networks.
Does this work for a desktop PC that has previously only used Ethernet connection, or do I need the wi fi adapter that goes inside the motherboard with the external antennas? My desktop seems to be an older model 2008 has no wi fi.
Laptop or desktop either one. It can be used in place of an internal card that has went bad or to add dual band to a computer that has only a single band WIFI card.
It will also ADD wifi capability to a device that didnt have WIFI, so yes it will work for a desktop PC that has previously only used Ethernet connection.

Benefits to upgrading to DOCSIS 2.0/3.0 cable modem?
I'm subscribing to cable internet service today after a hiatus of many years. I have an old Com21, DOCSIS 1.0 modem and want to know if I'd see any benefit from upgrading to a newer modem. I've signed up for the "premium" internet--10 Mb down/1 Mb up--and will be using it for streaming movies/gaming/etc and would like to get the most out of my internet service.
What makes DOCSIS 3.0 different from its predecessors is that it is able to support multiple channels and bind them together to increase performance. More channels means greater speed, and there is a 4-channel minimum requirement for DOCSIS 3.0 approved hardware. Each channel offers a familiar 38 Mbps downstream and 27 Mbps upstream, but there are no limits to how many channels can be used. This opens up a lot of performance possibilities, a great example of which is the 100 Mbps DOCSIS 3.x service available
