Office. You need it. Wish it wasn't sub, though

What's to review? It's Microsoft Office. It works, it's boring, you're used to how it works from your computer at the office... You need it more than you want it. I wish, however, this was built the old way-- software you could download and own rather than having to subscribe to something. But... oh well.

It's great! The touchscreen capability is a treat

Looks good, behaves well, seems fast enough-- although I haven't edited video with it yet, so we'll see-- so far loving the Windows 10 experience, and the ability to put the mouse aside and touch the thing is more of a treat than I thought it would be!

All about the magnetic grilles!!!
on August 7, 2017
Posted by: GRIFF
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all, these are built like tanks (very hefty in the hand, too), the push-in speaker wire terminators grab like none other and make one-handed installation a snap, and they sound amazing.
But forget about all of that-- let's talk about the grilles.
Anyone who has worked with "normal" in-ceiling speakers know the grilles are generally impossible to remove, impossible to replace, their edges bend up like paper and never quite hit that little slot they're supposed to, and once the grille is out it never goes back in quite the same way.
Not so with these Yamahas-- the grilles are MAGNETIC. Put them anywhere near the speaker and they just snap into place. What a joy!
I own three pairs of these already and plan to buy many more.

Like other Polk products, it just works

These Patio speakers are, apparently, badge-engineered Atriums-- but they look and sound great, so who cares what they are? I have mine handling a 120W load and they have never distorted, even under full power. They look beautiful under my eaves and, unlike many other outdoor speakers, their built-in mounting solution instantly goes from wall mount, to ceiling mount, and back again. Having the easily rotated logo so its upright no matter what orientation you choose, is a thoughtful plus.

Very little to review here-- a female-to-female HDMI connector is probably the easiest thing to make on earth. And this one just works. (Would be pathetic if it didn't)

Card reader... quick, simple, no complaints
on May 15, 2017
Posted by: GRIFF
Verified Purchase:Yes
Here we have a quick, simple, little, cheap SD card reader. Works as advertised-- works particularly well on the end of the USB-C dongles Apple is forcing me to buy.
Docked it one star because it won't do micro- and regular SD cards at the same time (but maybe that's a known limitation, I don't know).

I mean...
on May 15, 2017
Posted by: GRIFF
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a dongle-- the simplest thing known to man. It's almost impossible to screw up, and this one (of course) just works. So that SHOULD make it a five-star product. It GETS three because Apple shouldn't charge for these things, period. The way I figure-- if you sell me an overpriced laptop without all of the ports I ACTUALLY use today because you've positioned it way too far into the future, then you OWE me the dongle that makes it work right here in good ol' 2017.
So, in short-- this thing is fine (how could it not be?). The business model behind it, however, is anything but.

Does exactly what it promises

Verified Purchase:Yes
I do a lot of DVD and BluRay ripping, especially for my kids, which USED to be easy... until I upgraded to the really awesome, but no-drive-no-ports Macbook Pro. What to do, what to do? So I bought this drive.
It's small, it's fast, it's simple, it's stylish-- and so far, so good in terms of ripping-- it can rip an entire BluRay into an MKV in about 25 minutes. It also ripped in an ULTRA scratched CD-R with visible defects without issue, as well.
My only negative would be, it's tiny and light, so that also makes it a little bit flimsy. But, what were you expecting? It's a portable external drive, so, if at all possible, don't drop, kick, or step on it-- easy.
Do what I do and make your life simple-- use this with a USB 3.0 port. If you do, you save yourself a USB jack and it's totally self-powered. Otherwise, you're going to need to plug in both (this doesn't come with an AC adapter) and that's a PITA.

I actually bought this out of order, buying MINIONS first and giving it to my kids... I can't wait to see what they think of this, the movie that started it all!
It's Minions! It's Steve Carrel! It's Illumination Entertainment! What could be bad about it??

Does this tv have built in speakers
Yes.
Generally, displays without speakers advertise themselves as MONITORS. Displays with speakers generally call themselves TELEVISIONS.

How much does this TV weigh? My new Volvo transport has a TV mount for a flat screen TV and specifies TV has to weigh 10 lbs or less.
I don't know the OFFICIAL answer, but if I had to guess just by holding it, this is well less than ten pounds.
