Adapter Works

Not much to say, it does what it's supposed to. Have to get one if you have USB 3.0 and HDMI devices.

The new MacBook Pro is razor-thin, featherlight, and now even faster and more powerful than before. It has the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display. And it has the revolutionary Touch Bar—a Multi-Touch–enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to what you want to do, when you want to do it. The new MacBook Pro is built on groundbreaking ideas. And it’s ready for yours.

Some Nice Features
on June 15, 2018
Posted by: ByronR
from Aliso Viejo, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
There are a few pros and cons:
Pros
Nice looking and lighter than the old MacBook Pro
The touchbar is a unique feature
Good RAM and HD space
Cons
Didn't see any better performance vs. MacBook Air
The USB C ports are still not peripheral friendly
Had to buy a dock adapter to use USB 3.0 and HDMI connections for devices and monitors
Pricey, the jury is still out if it was worth it

My Fifth Echo Dot
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: ByronR
from Aliso Viejo, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been pleasantly surprised with the Echo Dot. I have one in almost every room and it works fairly flawlessly. I have an Echo Dot that I travel with and it connects to a Hoo-Too Tripmate portable router. For the size, the sound is good and you can use an aux cable or bluetooth into other devices for richer and clear sound if you are more of an audiophile.

Decent for the Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's a nice small Chromebook if that is what you are looking for. If you need any computing power, this is not for you. I use it to stream Cox at Home in my garage so I can watch TV while on the treadmill. The processor is a bit weak for streaming, so if that is what you want it for, I would look to a more powerful (and of course more expensive) system.

What is the difference between the eco and eco dot?

The Echo has a better speaker and a different power source. If you are looking for something stationary, then the Echo would be good to get. If you are looking for something smaller and more portable, then the Echo Dot should be your choice. I have both, one Echo in my home office, and Echo Dots throughout the house and a travel Dot as well.

Does echo dot work on Windows Vista?

Not sure what the question is. You can use the dot with the Alexa app on an iOS or Android device. If you are using it as a bluetooth device into the computer, it should connect but not sure why you would use it that way. Hope that helps.

Is it possible to hook up 2 of these monitors to an XBOX???

I hooked up two of these to a Surface with a special adaptor. If you do use the adaptor, make sure you get the HDMI to display port adaptor depending on the interface of the adaptor.

Never tried, but you can probably have the salesperson try for you by removing the cartridges from the floor model.
