Works as expected. Bought at a great price!
on April 25, 2016
Posted by: iambobbyv
Verified Purchase:Yes
I decided to give the Jawbone UP3 a try when the price was at $44.99, plus I used my $10 rewards, making my total $37! I figured it was worth a try at that price.
I've only used the UP3 for about a week now. It was very easy to setup and sync with my iPhone. I registered with Jawbone.com to sync data to the cloud so I can sync across my devices i.e. Apple and Android.
I especially like the sleep tracking, it gives me an idea of my sleep pattern, which helps me determine why I'm tired in the morning.
Thus far I am very pleased with the UP3 and it's tracking capabilities. It has been only a week, so I'll update more later.

Better than Apple's Keyboard
on March 31, 2016
Posted by: iambobbyv
Verified Purchase:Yes
Personally I preferred the Logitech keyboard case over Apple's branded case. These are just a few reasons I've chosen the Logitech.
1. The design provided more protection of the device's front & back, unlike Apple's brand which did not feel as durable.
2. Logitech's keyboard was priced at $149 vs $169 for Apple. So I was able to use the extra $20 towards something else.
So far I have been happy with my choice of Logitech for Apple, again to each their own. Individual's style and preference are different.

Worth the extra $$
on February 18, 2016

This was worth the purchase for double the ink capacity/output (600 pages)' compared to the $15 for 300 pages.
Pay a little extra but get a whole lot more!

Excellent Sleeve for Surface Book, MacBook

I purchased this when it was on sale. I like the look and quality of the sleeve. I use this to protect my Surface Book, which fit perfectly without the keyboard attached. The sleeve is lightweight and offers the minimalist look and feel while protecting your tablet/laptook.

Great keyboard!
on January 17, 2016
Posted by: iambobbyv
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm glad I bought this keyboard. I didn't think that I would use it as often as I am. I leave it connected at all times, well except for the fingerprint encryption unlock. The case and keyboard is well built, I'm pleased with the design and ease of use of the keyboard. I'm pleased with the keyboard's response and it makes my typing much faster and more accurate.
Blackberry users or people who don't like touch-pad keyboards would not be disappointed with this product.
I would definitely recommend this to friends and families.

Inexpensive and durable

This band is very durable and inexpensive. I bought it on sale for $3.99, I didn't really expect the durability from this band due to price.
I figured for the price I would give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I definitely got more then what I paid for with the materials.

Roomy and light

First impression was this backpack is big and has plenty of room to hold your laptop, tablet and much more! I like the fact there is a special compartment to keep your shoes or gym clothes in.
Also inside is a section where you can keep your food or snacks in and maintain it's temperature! That was an extra bonus to have!

Microsoft's best by far!
on January 6, 2016
Posted by: iambobbyv
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've own many laptops, 2 in 1 for may years. Majority of them are Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro and and latest MacBook Pro Retina. I like the minimalist and industrial design of them. What drew by attention to the Surface Book was the design. I love the fact that it is a 2 in 1, the hardware build is exactly what I expect of a premium laptop/tablet.
I've had the Surface Book for almost a month, I am very pleased with it, basically the Surface Book revived Windows for me! For a while I was strictly using by MacBook Pro Retina, but now the Surface Book has been my go to laptop. I could go into more details but I would be writing for a while..lol.
For those who are on the fence about getting a Surface device, I would definitely recommend spending extra money for the Surface Book and skip the Surface Pro 3 or 4. You won't be disappointed!

Great for general multitasking

Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded to the Surface Pro 4 i5 4GB 128GB SSD days after using the Surface Pro 3 i3 4GB 128GB SSD. I was pleased with the upgrade until I started to use more then 3 or 4 applications (4 tabs on browser window, Mail, Microsoft Store, OneNote. I noticed some lag in performance and had to close a few browser tabs and MS Store to gain some memory back.
Overall it is a great 2 in 1 for lite users i.e. surfing the internet, streaming movies, Word processing, Excel.
My personal opinion it is a better option then the iPad Pro, which lacks the versatility due to lack of expansion, USB ports etc.

Power through the daily grind with this ASUS ZenWatch 2 smart watch. This 1.63-inch AMOLED touch screen watch is IP67-waterproof, so it's safe to wear in the shower while waiting for a very important call. This ASUS ZenWatch 2 smart watch also has a Wellness Suite that lets you plan workout routines, set training goals and track your progress.
 

Are they coming out with a smaller size??

They currently have only these sizes:

Essentially you can get the smaller one, they have three different colors: gunmetal, rosegold & silver.

Advanced sensors measure your resting heart rate, respiration rate, sleep stages and more, and workouts are automatically logged making it easier to track and measure your activity throughout the day.
 

Is this waterproof?

It is not waterproof, but splash proof based on Jawbone's website. Below is an excerpt from there website's FAQ.

The UP3™ band is rain, splash and sweat-resistant. However you should remove your UP3™ before showering, swimming, surfing or exposure to other extreme conditions and activities like saunas and steam rooms. Do not submerge your UP3™ in liquids, including hot tubs or baths, at any time.

trouble syncing with my phone

I have a LG smart phone
I had the original band and had no trouble syncing with my cell phone
Bought the Up3 and had to return it because it would not sync to my phone
Now my second one will not sync either
I have checked on both jawbone app and my phone and everything is updated
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Your purchase should come with a free Geeksquad setup. If you are having syncing issues on a second device, I would definitely take it into Best Buy and have Geeksquad assist. Take advantage of this service while it is included in your purchase, my not exactly sure when it expires, but definitely worth checking out.

can I add ram to a surface pro 4 that only has 4gigs

Unfortunately Microsoft only has the 8GB available on the Intel Core i5, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM model. So in order to get 8GB of RAM, you basically have to also get extra SSD space. Which means you'll end up paying $200-$300 extra just to get more RAM. But on the plus side you'll also gain more storage space.

Even if you take it to a computer repair shop to add extra RAM, it will cost you $200-$300 for labor and hardware. Not to mention you'll be risking voiding your warranty.

mouse/trackpad

I have to do a lot of typing and with most laptops the mouse pad can make that a real pain, on my current laptop I just hit a button and I can turn my mouse pad off as to not brush the pad with my wrists causing my document to do things I don't want so on this laptop can you turn the mouse pad off?
Yes, you can turn the touchpad off in the systems settings > devices > mouse & touchpad > toggle the touchpad from on to off.

what apps are available for either 3 or 4

With the Surface 3, Pro 3 and Pro 4; any applications that will install on your regular laptop or desktop will work. Keep in mind you are limited to storage space unless you plan on adding expansion with either micro SD or external HD.

Read the minimum system requirements by the software manufacturer prior to installing. They will specify the basic hardware requirement for their software to run smoothly.
