iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 6.1mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.

Great IPAD Mini
on February 2, 2018
Posted by: DonInHaslett
from Haslett, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple is on the ball. Pulled this out of the box and putting in my previous Apple ID and it copied settings from my IPHONE and everything off of my old IPAD Mini Icloud backup. Took about 30 minutes and I was up and going. This is IPAD is really thin and light weight. It was a great upgrade from the IPAD Mini version 1 that I used to use.

Fantastic TV
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: DonInHaslett
from Haslett, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This TV is fantastic! It only took about 10 minutes to set up and get programmed with my AT&T Uverse. The picture mode options and sound mode options are great. The voice remote is also simple to use. The picture quality is even better than my two year old 4K Samsung that I paid $1599 for. Great value and great bargain at $897.

Office is Office!
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: DonInHaslett
from Haslett, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Mac version of office is a little different than the PC, but once you get into it, it is pretty easy to adapt to the differences. There are all kinds of third party "Office Compatibles" but they just aren't the original. It is the most robust and certainly 100% compatible.

The 13-inch MacBook Air features 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.* It’s thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go—and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

Macs are awsome!
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: DonInHaslett
from Haslett, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife wanted a new computer. After looking at HPs and Acers, we went over any looked at the Mac Book Air. It is so nice not to have a fan and not have to worry about heat and the computer's ability to breath. The only thing given up was a touch screen but her IPAD gives her all of that. And with her IPHONE, everything is now compatible! It has been a slight learning curve but with the IPHONE and IPAD first, the transition from Windows to Mac was pretty easy.

This is a wonderful back story to the Harry Potter series. Magical creatures taught by Hagrid is one the favorite classes of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The movie is slow and unclear to start but soon gets cranked up to full non-stop excitement. It is a must see for every Harry Potter fan.

The ttue story for the NASA "Computers" is very inspiring. The characters are portrayed with realism. You realy care about all of them as you learn about the early events with manned space flight in this country. It also reveals how scientific necessity and mathematics helped eliminate racial tensions in NASA.

Samsung JS8500 Series UN55JS8500FXZA LED Smart 4K Ultra HDTV: This Samsung SUHD TV continues to push the envelope of high-definition picture quality, revealing brilliant colors and stunning scene lighting that goes beyond standard 4K Ultra HD. It's also capable of connecting with apps, browsing the Web and screen mirroring with smart devices over a Wi-Fi connection.
 

Sound issue

A few times when I turn on this tv, I have no sound at all. I have to turn it off then turn it back on to get sound. Is this an issue anyone else has or since I am still in the return period should I take it back and exchange it out?
I have never had this problem with the Samsung TV. However, with my older Sony, I did have this problem about 1 in 100 times with Uverse. I never had the problem on the Sony when I had Comcast. More seriously, I would get a "No HDMI Signal" message with the Sony and Uverse about 1 in 25 times. I think it is a timing issue in either case. I suggest you leave the cable box on and only power the TV off and on.

How is the volume level? When it's pushed to maximum is it loud or barely a whisper?

I just bought and returned an ASUS MeMoPad8 and Kindle 6" because I had to strain to listen to music, movies, and audio readings. That's not right. Can someone please tell me on a scale from 1-10 if the volume level is loud? ( I have a Hisense Sero 7 that's 3 years old and I can hear it a room away, but it's age and system is out of date.)
Sound is acceptable. If you really want good sound, use a bluetooth speaker. You should be able to try it at BestBuy in the store. That is what I did.
