Incredibly pricey, but the fit is perfect
on January 21, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This wasn't my first choice of case because of the high price, and the fact that it assumes you'll buy a Smart Cover (one of the edges is left exposed for this purpose). That said, accessory manufacturers have been slow to release cases for the iPad Pro, so I bit the bullet and went with this one. The fit and feel is perfect, but it's hard not to be bitter that I just paid $80 + tax for a thin piece of plastic.

Another excellent display from Dell

Dell monitors are generally excellent, and this one is no exception. Great viewing angles, razor-thin bezel, and wonderful height/angle flexibility. Not much more to say — this is a no-brainer.

Recharge your MacBook® Pro easily with this Apple® MagSafe 2 MD506LL/A power adapter that features a magnetic DC connector that disconnects when strained to help protect your laptop and prevent the cable from fraying or weakening.

Pricey, but few other options
on December 25, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Until Apple switches to USB-C for all MacBook charging (it's currently only available for the latest 12-inch retina MacBook), we're all pretty much forced to buy Apple's MagSafe bricks. While MagSafe is an ingenious invention and the hardware design is top-notch, my experience at home and in the office is that the connectors can still break down if manhandled too much, or if you have a tendency to disconnect the cable by yanking on the cord (rather than pulling the aluminum magnetic connector part directly). For the price, it's a little disappointing that this isn't more hardy, but it's still well-designed and the standard in computer charging hardware.

Even with its 12.9-inch Retina display, the largest and most capable iPad ever is only 6.9mm thin and weighs just 1.57 pounds. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity¹, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life.² It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, as well as many more incredible apps available in the App Store. And with powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking, iPad Pro can do things no iPad has done before.

Just a bigger iPad right now...
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
... but that's not a bad thing. I went into this purchase fully expecting to get a larger tablet, to be used for tablet-y things: watching movies, lazy web browsing from bed or the couch, etc. In this regard, the iPad Pro has met all my expectations — the screen and speakers are fantastic, and there's literally zero lag when doing basic tasks. For those that spring for the Apple Smart Keyboard or Pencil and hope to use it as a laptop replacement, your expectations are probably higher, and I think you might be disappointed. The hardware is capable, but iOS 9 still has a ways to go before it becomes a full-fledged computer replacement.

Great for a newcomer to e-readers
on November 28, 2015
Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been rockin' one iPad or another since Apple launched them in 2010, and never saw the need for a dedicated reading device like the Kindle. That said, I picked one up on a whim during Black Friday and I finally understand what the fuss is about. The text customization options make it easy to design/find the perfect reading experience, and the fact that I can send Instapaper articles to my Kindle from all my other devices is awesome. The fact that the screen is lit from the edges (as opposed to a backlight) makes it noticeably less draining on the eyes.
Only downside is the fact that Amazon makes you spend $20 to get rid of those pesky special offers (which force you to swipe the screen to dismiss them every time the device is turned on).

MacBook Air features fifth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

A so-so display, but killer industrial design

The MacBook Air has the worst display in Apple's notebook lineup, but there's really no other alternative if you want a thin and light computer with adequate power for everyday tasks.

iPhone 6 isn't just bigger — it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.

Best all-around phone
on August 18, 2015
Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
The iPhone 6 has some minor industrial design flaws (protruding camera, ugly radio bands, etc.), but those are all nitpicks. Overall, it's the best all-around phone on the market in terms of app selection, camera quality, and software ease-of-use and stability.

Apple keeps iterating on a winning product
on August 9, 2015
Posted by: Nick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned every version of the iPad since it first launched in 2010, and the iPad Air 2 feels like the biggest step forward in terms of hardware. The laminated display looks and feels painted on, there's virtually no lag, and the boost in memory has helped a lot. The only complaint I'd have is that the cameras are still relatively poor. I don't care about the back camera because I don't take photos with my iPad, but I do want a higher-quality front-facing camera since I use this as my go-to FaceTime device.
