The Shutterfly - $25 to spend or 8x8 Photo Book was a welcome, free add-on to the purchase of my new iMac. It was not an incentive to purchase an new computer but it was a nice complimentary gift.

Webroot's Internet Security + Antivirus 2018 (3-Device) (1-Year Subscription) - Android|Mac|Windows|iOS is an adequate security software solution. I got it primarily because it came as a free add-on with the purchase of my new iMac.

Had to upgrade, but I miss my 24-inch iMac!
on June 9, 2018
Posted by: Tony
from Media, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new Apple - 21.5" iMac® with Intel Core i5 (3.4GHz) - 8GB Memory - 1TB Fusion Drive is a competent and well-built product. The fusion drive, which is a combination of solid-state drive (SSD) and traditional hard-disk drive, allow this very sleek looking desktop computer to "wake-up" quickly as the operating system and frequently-used files are stored on the SSD. There is also new word processing ("Pages") and spreadsheet ("Numbers") software included in the suite of programs delivered with this new iMac. On the down-side, I really regret Apple's decision to eliminate the 24-inch screen size in the iMac line. Now, customers are forced to choose between a 21-inch format and a huge 27-inch screen. For our application, using the iMac on our kitchen counter, the 24-inch format was the perfect "Goldilocks" solution - i.e., not to big and not too small. The new iMacs also lack an optical drive, so you'll need an external CD-DVD drive to access any existing software or media you own our purchase on discs. In a similar vein, Apple no longer supports the program "iDVD" which allowed movies created in "iMovie" to be burned to a DVD. This is another casualty of the switch to streaming media, but its absence does reduce the flexibility of the newer iMacs and forces the user to purchase 3rd party DVD-authoring software. Bummer! By the way, the reason I had to upgrade to the newer iMac: My vintage 2009 24-inch iMac lost its ability to perform a Time-Machine backup and Apple-Care could not provide a solution.

Don't be without it!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive is another "must-have" accessory for those purchasing a new laptop, very few of which have a built-in optical drive. This external drive provides the ability to read and write to CDs as well as single and double-layer DVDs. If you have software or media on these older media, you don't want to be without this product.

A must-have for a new MacBook
on June 9, 2018
Posted by: Tony
from Media, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
MIcrosoft Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac is still the best suite of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software available to complete a new MacBook purchase. It is backward-compatible with many older versions of Microsoft Office and provides much more capability than the programs like "Pages" and "Numbers" now being included in the software suite included with new Mac purchases.

The j5create - 2-Port USB 3.0 Hub with HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet USB Type-C Adapter allows the owner of a new MacBook, which lacks older USB ports 2.0 ports and has no Ethernet jack, to connect to a home or office network without using WiFi and to use existing USB accessories.

Just plug in your Ethernet cables, connect a power cord, and you're ready to go there's no software to configure. Engineered without the need for internal fans, they operate silently.

The NETGEAR - 16-Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch makes it possible to connect up to 15 ethernet networked devices to my router without relying on WiFi. This allows me to reduce the demands on my WiFi signal, which is already handling all our phones and tablets. It also enables me to connect devices that are beyond optimal WiFi range.

Good System - Only for a Small House or Apartment
on February 22, 2018
Posted by: Tony
from Media, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This SimpliSafe home security system works well for a smaller home with a limited number of windows and points of entry. For a larger home like mine with lots of windows and sliding glass doors, the cost of additional sensors (window sensors, door sensors, motion detectors and glass-break detectors) turned out to be prohibitive, exceeding the purchase price of the base system. I'm not sure where to go from here, so I'll likely have to return the product. Too bad, because I like the system's design and features.

Frees up iPhone Memory
on February 22, 2018
Posted by: Tony
from Media, PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
iPhones especially recent models, never seem to have enough memory. This 32 GB thumb drive has both USB and Lightning connectors and it allows the user to free up memory by moving content from an iPhone (models from 6 through 10) - or any Apple product using a Lightning interface - to an external device regardless of the operating system it employs. It's a great way to extend the useful life of an iPhone and move an iPhone's content to where it's needed.

Will the Logitech qwerty board work with an LG smart tv
Hi Kent:
If your TV is an Android TV and it has a USB2 (or later) port, it should work. I purchased the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard to use with my new Sony (Android) TV. All I needed to do was plug the keyboard's dongle into a USB port on the TV and I was up and running. Good luck with this!

Tony

Is it compatible with an ipad pro ?
No - I tried this and the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard does not appear as a choice on the iPad pro because it is not a bluetooth keyboard. I think it connects to an Android flat screen TV via a radio frequency (RF) interface. I have not tried using an adapter to connect the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard's dongle directly to the iPad Pro via the Lightning Port , but I doubt that it would work.....although it would be VERY COOL if it did, especially because of the built-in trackpad!!!

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.
Is there cheaper key board to purchase for IPad Pro? And if so, is there any difference in functionality?
Hi Trenn:
The Apple Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9 inch, unlike some of the Logitech keyboard cases I tried out, does not feature back-lit keys. In the "store" position, it protects the glass face of the iPad Pro very well. However it does not protect the edges of the iPad's case as well as some of the Logitech products I saw. This is both a plus and a minus. The plus side is that the smaller overall dimensions of the Apple Smart Keyboard, when installed on the iPad Pro, allows it to fit into one of the standard sized iPad sleeves. The Logitech "Slim Combo" Keyboard Case is cheaper ($149.00) and has better features, in my opinion, including the backlit keys and better protection for both the glass face and the edges of the iPad Pro's case mentioned above. However, it does increase the dimensions of the device when the Slim Combo Case is installed and this my make it more difficult to find a protective sleeve that the iPad + Slim Combo Case will fit into. I hope this answer is helpful to you.

I own a corporation, LLC, can I use this product to complete my corporate return? Also, do I then need 'deluxe' for the personal return? Thank you
TurboTax Home & Business can be used to prepare a small business tax return using a Schedule C. If that is the approach you normally use to file your LLC tax return then this software will work for you. Regarding your personal return, TurboTax Home & Business allows you to prepare several different returns (I think, up to 5 individual returns) and it incorporates all the features of TurboTax Deluxe, so you should not need to purchase TurboTax Deluxe for your personal tax return.
