Excellent Multi Function Remote

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this remote to replace a Harmony 700 I had in my living room. I really liked the 700, but that's because I really liked because I like the Harmony system in general. The 700 controls 8 devices and the elite controls 15 devices. When I say 15, this only means entertainment devices, so your TV, set top box, game consoles, receivers, etc. I can't imagine you would have more than 15 but keep that in mind. It can also control home automation control devices such as nest thermostats and hue lights. As far as I can tell there is no limit to the connected house products, but I only have a handful of those.
The heart of the Elite is really the included Hub. The Hub actually controls all of your devices, and supports IR devices, Bluetooth devices, and RF controlled devices, as well as connected devices over your home network. Because the Hub does all the work, you don't have to point the remote exactly correctly, the hub receives instructions from the included remote wirelessly(RF I believe), and then transmits the appropriate instructions the device requires, IR, Bluetooth, or over the network. The remote also has a touchscreen section you can configure, and a set of configurable physical buttons below. The software makes it easy to setup activities(macros on other remotes), configure your screen and physical buttons. The default configurations will work the way you would expect, but you can remap and adjust buttons to any device/function in your theater as you like. For example, in my Watch TV activity I have one of the buttons remapped to control ceiling fan speed which is handy during the summer.
What I really like, but did not expect, is the Harmony Software remote that is available for Android and iOS. This lets you use your smart phone or tablet as a remote control in place of the included remote at any time. I originally expected to only use the software remote in quick situations when I was too busy to grab the remote from the charger. Its actually super handy; when I get an important phone call and my wife has the remote but I need to mute the home theater, the software remote does it. It's also easy to navigate, and has the buttons I use the most laid out intelligently. I'm surprised, but I use the software remote more than the physical remote now, and my wife and I can both have a remote without having to pass one around. I also don't have to teach my wife a handful of remotes, but that was true with the older Harmonys as well.

Quality Compact Laptop bag...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a compact laptop backpack with a compartment for a13" ultrabook (I use it with a 13" Macbook Air, but it would fit any 13" Macbook) and another pocket for a 10" tablet. Both pockets have velcro straps to secure the laptop and tablet. The tablet pocket is designed for original iPads, but my iPad air fits just fine. The pocket is fitted and holds the tablet securely although the securing strap is a little long since the iPad air is smaller than the original iPad. The laptop pocket is a little loose for a Macbook air, but the strap does a good job holding it in place. There is a space between the two pockets where a notebook or something similar could be kept. The space in between the two pockets could hold apple type charging cords but I'm not sure about the older Dell style charging cords. There are two additional zippered pockets on the front; one with a cord hole for phones and mp3 players and another for pens and miscellaneous items. It has compartments for pens and cards in it. It has a water bottle sack in another zippered compartment but I haven't used that part.
Overall it's a good bag that is small, light, and sturdy and is great for compact electronics that don't need the space typical laptops require.

Other Rooms
Will this remote control components located behind a wall? The TV is mounted on the family room wall but all components, including BluRay, direcTV box etc are on the other side of the wall under the stairs.
This remote includes a Logitech Hub. The Hub actually does all of the controlling. It receives instructions from the remote and then transmits the appropriate signal to the correct device. You could put the Hub behind the wall where it could control the devices behind the wall, but you would have to run one of the included IR blasters back to the TV. Otherwise it would work in your configuration.
