Not the greatest case

Okay, I bought my new iPad mini4 and of course I need to protect it. I went with the Griffin Technology, liked the color, was a little cheaper than the Otterbox, and after I got it home, put it on my mini... I just didn't like it. It felt "cheap" and did not feel solid on my mini4. I returned it and went with the Otterbox and have been happy with it.

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.

Glad I bought it!!

I have a iPhone 6+ and thought I did not need an iPad mini. When you are out and about, viewing videos or streams, the 6plus isn't bad to watch all that on. Now... when you are home and don't feel like firing up the computer to watch stuff and want a bigger screen... the iPad Mini4 fits the bill. It is nice to watch on the larger screen and do other things with it while my phone charges and not have to worry about getting on my laptop. The mini4 is the nice "in between" go to for me. All I needed was wifi, didn't need the the one with a sim port, that's why i have an iPhone. You won't be sorry if you get this model, I am happy with my purchase, no regrets.

Great Protection

I have had Otterbox before and I tried another case and just was not satisfied with it. Now, with Otterbox, you know what you are getting. Great protection, a screen protector and I like the pop up stand so I can watch videos and other live streams on my iPad mini 4. The case feels solid and I have not had one complaint or regret buying it. You won't either.

The latest cable

When I purchased my new Extreme wifi base station, I needed a new cat 5 cable and this is the latest faster cable so I got it to ensure the fastest speed from my cable modem to my new wifi extreme base station. Everything works fine, good speed, no problems. Get the cable, don't be cheap and you won't regret it.

Excellent WiFi!!

I was looking for something to pump up my wifi reception in my 2bedroom apartment. My Zoom modem just wasn't kicking out the strength I needed. I have Comcast as my provider, with a 75 MB download pipe and needed that same speed for wifi and the extreme with the AC protocol fit the bill. Consistently fast! I get evey bit the 75MB download if not more! Now here is something to keep in mind. If you have an old iPhone or laptop, your wifi speed with the extreme will be matched in what your tech can handle. For example, my wife and I, our laptops can handle wifi speed up to N. The latest with the extreme is AC. My iPhone 6plus is wifi speed capable AC. My wife has an iPhone 4S which tops out at wifi speed G. If both laptops and my 6S are using wifi and I do a speed test, we all will get a 75-80MB download speed. If she logs in with her 4S, everyone slows to about a 40MB download speed. It's fast, just not screaming. See how older tech slows down newer tech. This piece of kit is worth the money and my laptops and phones paired up without any problems. I was able to rename my network and change my password and shut off my Zoom router from pushing out wifi. A good deal. Enjoy.

Great little drive. Quick and small. I needed something to put OS X Yosemite on. Always nice to have a fast little drive when you need a clean install.

I got this bag for my in-laws for their trip to Florida and this is the perfect bag for a MacBook Air. The slide out pouch for your computer makes it easy going through security and still protecting your air by keeping it in the slide out pouch. Plenty of zippers and adjustable strap. Worked well. A great buy. Enjoy!

Use with MacBook Pro

To use this with the above, do I also need to purchase an Apple adapter?
Yes. If your Mac has a thunderBolt or USB 3.0 port you will need the Ethernet to thunderbolt or Ethernet to USB. I would go with the Ethernet to thunderbolt adapter which is $29. All Best Buy stores have them as well as an Apple Store. Hope that helps.
