Great Mid-range Tablet
on June 17, 2015
Posted by: TechGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I sold my iPad 1 and traded-in a junk tablet as part of a promotion at Best Buy to get this tablet. Ended up paying around $100 for it.
Great mid-range tablet. Good for all the basic stuff, browsing the internet, watching videos, sending emails, etc.
Pros:
-The multi-app split screen feature is very cool. You can split your screen and watch Youtube on one half and send emails on the other. The only drawback is that only a handful of apps can utilize this feature
-Cheap accessories for this tablet can be found online
-Expandable SD card slot
-Pretty fast, no lagging
-Good screen size

Cons
-Screen resolution isn't as good as the Tab S and other high end tablets
-No flash on camera, not sure if other tablets have this feature
-Samsung bloatware
-Camera is average, nothing special
-Regular price is a bit high for a tablet that is not top of the line, if you can get a Tab S or something high end for within $50 higher, I would go for that instead.

You demand a lot from your Wi-Fi network. With this Belkin router, everyone in the house will be able to watch shows, play games and use tablets, smartphones and Smart TVs at the same time, without lag or slowdown.

Did not notice a speed boost, but did notice better coverage. I like the dual band feature, it works well. Easy set up

The best screen protector for your Iphone

You are not going to find a better screen protector. It does not look or feel like there is one on your phone. Get Geek Squad to install it, it is worth it.

-Covers side volume and power buttons
-Raised edges so you don't have to worry about scratching the screen if face down or scratching the camera lens if face up.

My advice is buy this case and a really good screen protector like ZAGG and you will be set. I rarely drop my phone and did not break my 4s when I had it for over 2 years, so I was looking for something thin and light. If you are a dropper and or breaker, get a stronger case.

Great way to watch TV away from home
on December 13, 2014
Posted by: TechGuy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
-Great for watching TV away from home
-No monthly fees
-Has a Smart TV interface
-Can watch anywhere in the world you have internet
-Wireless connection from Slingbox to home wi-fi is pretty good
-Very few moments of lag

Cons:
-Must buy $15 app to watch on phone or tablet.
-Slingbox viewer and viewer at home must watch the same channel on whichever TV the Slingbox is hooked up to. Best workaround is to hook up Slingbox to a secondary cable/satellite box that is not used often.
-Some HD channels will not be viewable in HD due to HDCP, so far I found all of the ESPN channels and all of the HBO channels fall into this category. You will have to view these channels in Standard Definition.
