Bingo - Your Ipad is now a laptop!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is so much nicer than the older keyboard i had for my other Ipad. This one was purchased along with my new Ipad Pro and I love it. My older keyboard was powered by an internal battery that needed to be recharged. You also needed to remember to turn the thing on and off. This one requires no battery and needs no on/off switch. Also I love the kickstand and the fact that its backlit.
I'm very happy with the purchase

My wife loves this
on February 16, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
It does kind of look like an Ipad on steroids but its absolutely beautiful. Everything on it is easy to read, especially for people like us in our 70's. The screen is fast, it's so big and clear and perfect for screening videos. This Ipad is so easy to use that she also never picks up her laptop anymore for emails or other tasks that she used to use it for. "That thing is so old fashioned and i LOVE this!"
I think you will too.

Works Pretty Well
on January 6, 2018
Posted by: AlanD963

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the GTM-60 because it is supposed to give more detailed and up to date traffic information than the power supply cable that originally came with my DriveSmart 60 LMT.
It certainly works receiving traffic information but I'm not sure at all it's any better than the cable which came free with my device. It's also supposed to receive weather information but except for one time in the month I've used it, the weather page on my Garmin has been blank
One suggestion if you buy this, do not pay any attention to the instructions which say you have to register the GTM-60 on the Garmin website for it to start working. The web page it listed had no place to register it, I called Garmin and waited on hold for over 30 minutes to be told, "Oh, I don't know why they still have that 'register thing' in the instructions. You don't have to do that, it'll just work fine without it." She was right, so just toss the instruction leaflet in the waste basket and simply plug it into your unit.

Great to Demo your 3D TV
on January 20, 2017
Posted by: AlanD963
from Arlington Heights, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
3D TV's seem to be going the way of the dodo, but if you have one as I do, this movie is the best way to show it off. James Cameron is a fan of 3D and vowed to make this the best 3D movie ever, and boy, did he succeed.
I almost had to watch it twice. First I was just amazed at the 3D effects, and then the second time through I could pay attention to the plot.
The movie made a fortune in the theaters. If you buy this disk, you'll know why.

Works as Advertised

Verified Purchase:Yes
The AC2200 successfully extended my WiFi network to the far corners of my house. It was easy to setup as advertised. I followed the simple directions and I was set.
Two cautions:
1) As you may know, your extended network has a different SSID than your original WiFi network. So if for example you are using your laptop at different points in your house, you'll have to change networks to make use of your new extended WiFi. Not a big deal, but it's the way extenders work.
2) Even though my network was extended with a rock solid connection, when connected to my extended network, I did not enjoy the same speed as when connected to my original network. This is explained in the Netgear setup and is true.

Very Happy with these Speakers
on July 29, 2016
Posted by: AlanD963

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased these modern looking speakers to replace a smaller two speaker system. Very good sound for the money. I also like the easy-to- use remote on/off and volume control with the bass control feature. It's nice that the control can be placed next to my chair so I don't have to stretch over to the speakers to change volume, etc.

You'll Love the D7200

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this camera to replace my trusty Nikon D90. What a difference, this camera is so much 'smarter' and more nimble; with a myriad of buttons, you no longer have to go into the menu to make many changes on the fly. (It just takes a while for your fingers to learn where they all are.) My pictures have been superb.

Beautiful Case for the Yoga 900

Posted by: AlanD963
from Arlington Heights, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Since you paid as much as you did for your premium Yoga 900, it seems silly not to purchase this beautiful leather-feel case to protect it. It fits the 900 perfectly and folds so that you can use it to protect the keyboard when you use the Yoga in tablet mode or display mode.
It's a worthwhile investment.

I'm Happy With My Bright New Nest
on November 14, 2015
Posted by: AlanD963
from Arlington Heights, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The 3rd generation Nest Thermostat was easy to install and works perfectly with my heating system. It's too cold right now to check it with the air conditioning compressor.
It lights up big and bright as you walk by, and you have several choices of which display lights up. The default is just the set temperature in big bright numbers but you also have other choices such as an analog clock with a slowly sweeping second hand. Just click the face and you can see other information such as the inside humidity and the temperature outside.
A feature that I did NOT use is letting the device program itself. I turned off that feature in the setup and it was easy to select the times I wish the heat to turn up and down, as you would with a standard programmable thermostat although you can do it on the Internet as well as the device itself, and yes, everyone's favorite feature is you can turn the temp up or down from your bed, or from your car if you're on the way home.

Worked Great on Cruise Ship
on March 14, 2014
Posted by: AlanD963
from Arlington Heights, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Before I went on my cruise vacation, someone suggested these walkie-talkies. I'm I glad they did. We used them so many times. On the cruise ship (with no cell service) they worked great all over the ship. My wife could be sunning herself by the pool and I'd be on a lower deck or in the cabin and we could communicate instantly and perfectly. They were also useful on Caribbean Islands where I didn't want to pay the huge cellular roaming fees. These things worked great as long as we were two miles or less apart.
They also have a really long battery life, we never had to charge them more than once a day. I'm very satisfied.

What's great about it: Voice transmission is very clear, choice of many channels
What's not so great: Don't buy it for a range of 23 miles. No Way

How can I register my Garmin GTM 60 Traffic Receiver?
You do NOT have to register the Garmin Traffic Receiver. In fact you CAN'T!
I received mine and attempted to register it as the instructions with it indicated. I went to the Garmin website it mentioned and I could not see where the registration would be possible. I called Garmin and waited on hold for almost an hour. When the agent came on I asked the exact question you just asked. She kind of laughed and said, "I don't know why the instructions with it say to register it, because you no longer need to. Just start using it in your car and it'll be fine." It does seem to work fine.
So hopefully I just saved you an hour of wasted time. You're welcome. :)
