Not a bad case, but there are better...

This iPad Pro case is made by Apple, so it should come as no surprise that it fits the iPad Pro like a glove. It also works seamlessly with the SmartKeyboard. Beyond that, however, there is not much to say about it. For the price, there are much better options. One shortcoming is that there is no accommodation on the case for an Apple Pencil, if you have one. Additionally, the case is relatively thin and I would be curious as to just how much protection it actually provides for the iPad Pro in the event it is dropped (I did not want to test this out myself, however). Since the purchase, I found another case that works with the SmartKeyboard, accommodates the Apple Pencil, and provides some significant level of drop protection without adding too much to the weight and profile of the iPad Pro. I wish I had purchased this other case first... Would have saved me some money.
Bottom line... If you do not have an Apple Pencil, want a slim case designed to work with the SmartKeyboard, and are not too worried about additional drop protection, then this case will work just fine. For the money, however, there are probably better options out there.

This sucker is big...

I have been using an iPad ever since the first generation came out and the amount of technology that they can pack into these thin, light devices never ceases to amaze me.
If you are used to an iPad, there is really not much to say about the iPad Pro except for the fact that it is huge. I used to have an iPad Air before purchasing the Pro, and the iPad Air seems tiny and quaint by comparison. Then again, Apple built the iPad Pro by taking two iPad Air screens and "jamming" them together, so it makes sense that the Pro is a much larger device. Until I started using it, however, I never would have imagined just how large it is. I was used to the iPad Air, which fits very comfortably in the hand. I could use my Air in bed to read (or play some games) without any problem. Not so with the Pro, which requires you to either have it on a flat surface or use two hands to hold it (which can be awkward considering that you need one of your hands to interact with it). Trying to use one hand to hold the device typically means having it rest on your forearm or a leg. Also, given the size of the screen and the fact that most of the apps were designed for the Air (or even the Mini) in mind, the apps fail to take advantage of all the real estate available with such a large, gorgeous screen. Many apps are simply enlarged/magnified on the Pro, making for what is actually an awkward experience. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I find that I cannot use the Pro at the same distance from my eyes as I can the Air or the Mini as everything is actually too large on the screen. The device needs to be further away, otherwise my eyes cannot see the whole screen. During a typical work day, this is not a problem. When trying to use the device in bed, however, it is just not feasible for me. Ironically enough, I find that I now have two iPads... My Pro, which I use most of the time, and a Mini, which I use for reading in bed. That kind of defeats the purpose of having an iPad Pro to be my single device.
One other shortcoming is that the iPad Pro is being sold as a laptop replacement. As long as it continues to use iOS without the ability to use a mouse, that will never be the case in my opinion. The larger screen makes it nicer to use as a laptop replacement when traveling, but iOS lacks all of the usability and features of a MacBook. The experience is simply not the same. As an example, I recently traveled and was working on some PowerPoints. I could not type the slide notes and actually see the slide at the same time, which was horribly frustrating. While I realize this is more of an app issue than a hardware issue, it is indicative of the overall experience I have had thus far. It is a nice option, but nowhere near perfect. I love my Apple devices, but am still very, very tempted to try a Surface Pro, which is simply a PC in a tablet form. I do not want to sacrifice the features in OS X to try and accommodate a tablet form factor, and I think Microsoft learned their lesson from Windows 8 and 8.1. It seems like the implementation of cross-over devices like the Surface Pro has been improved significantly since the release of Windows 10 and I honestly wish something similar existed within the Apple architecture. I do like iOS, mind you, but as iOS expands to accommodate both a 4" iPhone and a 12"+ iPad Pro, some trade-offs are being made and the size of the iPad Pro simply illuminates and magnifies the shortcomings of iOS as a platform for mobile computing. Playing games and using simple apps, no problem. Trying to replace my MacBook Pro with productivity apps, however, not so much.
Also, given that the iPad Pro is marketed as being a laptop replacement, it is annoying that I have to spend another $170 on a separate keyboard. Typing on the screen is simply not an option for a touch typist who is looking to replace a laptop for work travel.
The device is very thin and remarkably light for its size. On the other hand, I had one of Apple's new MacBooks, which was actually thinner and lighter than my iPad Pro in a case with the keyboard. If only the screen on my MacBook could flip all the way over and OS X could run an iOS emulator... That would truly give me the best of both worlds. I travel quite a bit and want to protect the iPad. With a case attached, along with the Smart Keyboard, the device is almost as large as my MacBook Pro (and it is larger and heavier than the MacBook). One nice thing, though, is that I am able to use the iPad Pro all day on a single charge, which is something I cannot do with my MacBook or MacBook Pro. When flying across the country with a few layovers, being able to use a device all day without having to sit next to an electrical outlet at the airport is a tremendous benefit.
In summary, the iPad Pro is simply a really big iPad. Given its size, it is easier for vendors (and Apple themselves) to build accessory keyboards that are full-size keyboard, which is nice. The included technology that interfaces with the Apple Pencil is also great and I am still exploring the ways I can use my iPad as a traditional notepad replacement along with my Apple Pencil. If you are looking to replace your laptop for traveling, this may be a good fit. It is not perfect and you may still miss many of the features of your laptop, but it is not a bad compromise given its portability, battery life, and not having to turn the device off during taxiing, takeoff, and landing! If you are thinking that the bigger screen would be nicer than your current iPad for reading, playing games, or other leisure tasks, I would recommend going to a store and picking one up first. Play with it and make sure the additional bulk is okay. I am not kidding when I say the device just feels huge compared to the iPad Air. The Air feels like it is made to be used as a tablet. The Pro, not so much.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Great "stylus" with some shortcomings.
on February 20, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
To begin, I really love the experience off using the Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro. It would be great to see Apple expand the ability to use the Pencil with other versions of the iPad (although, that would reduce the utility and niche of the iPad Pro to a certain extent, in my opinion). While Apple touts the lack of lag in drawing or writing with the Pencil, there is a noticeable lag. This is not like writing with a pen on paper. With that being said, the lag is minimal and does not detract from the experience of using the Pencil. The Pencil is even weighted on one side so that it does not roll off the desk. You can also charge the pencil directly off the iPad Pro, and it charges very quickly. This is a great feature that is not available with other third-party stylus devices.
With all that being said, I do have some minor annoyances with the Pencil. First, charging it off the iPad Pro is challenging on anything but a flat or stable surface as the Pencil literally sticks straight out the side of the iPad Pro. I am paranoid that I will either hit the Pencil or the iPad Pro will fall and the pencil will break right off from its lightning connector (potentially damaging the very expensive iPad Pro in the process). Given the use of inductive charging of devices these days, it would have been much nicer to see that as an option. That, or I would have preferred if charging would have occurred using a male-to-male dongle between the iPad and the Pencil. That would avoid the need for an adapter when using any lightning cable while also addressing my fear of breaking the Pencil while it dangles precariously off the side of the iPad Pro. There is a way to plug the Pencil into a lightning charger, but only by using a very small and easy-to-lose adapter (female-to-female). Also, when charging, there is no place for you to put the Pencil's very small and easy to lose cap. The cap attaches via a magnet to the top of the pencil, which is actually fun to play with when I'm bored or fidgeting at a meeting, but the magnet is not that strong... Meaning I can see how it would be easy to dislodge the cap in routine use or, more likely, transport, which would result in losing the cap entirely. There is nothing you can do with the small cap while charging the Pencil (unlike some other similar devices which allow you to attach the cap to the other side of the device while it is charging. One other thing about charging... I would be nice to be able to see somewhere on the pencil how much charge is left. Nothing is more annoying than going to use thee Pencil to find that it is not charged. Some LEDs on the side or something would have been appreciated. As it is now, I have no idea how much charge the Pencil has in it. The only way I know it needs to be charged is when it stops working entirely. Again, it charges quickly, but it is still a huge inconvenience.
While I have not used many other similar devices, it is my understanding (from reading other reviews) that some of them allow the user to simply flip the device over and "erase" with the back end of the stylus (as opposed to having to select an eraser tool within the app you are using). That would have been a really nice feature for the Apple Pencil. If it really wants to replicate the use of a traditional pencil, the ability to quickly and easily erase mistakes is a must. That is not a feature of the Apple Pencil, however, which is too bad.
Ultimately, the pencil is great to use with the iPad Pro and is probably the best stylus-like device I have used. I like the weight of the Pencil which seems just about right... It has just a little mass to it so that it feels good in the hand, but is not overly heavy or bulky. It feels like a pencil, actually (albeit a completely smooth cylindrical one). The Pencil did include an extra tip and the female-to-female lightning adapter to charge the Pencil through a traditional charger. Now, all I wish is that Apple had included something in the design of the iPad Pro (or one of its cases) that would allow me to carry the Pencil along with the iPad. As it is now, the Pencil does not connect to anything when it is not in use, meaning I have to physically carry the Pencil with me, separate from the iPad. It is essentially the shape of a pencil... Who carries a pencil with them? Usually, I have a pencil or a pen in my portfolio (which has a nice, little elastic strap for holding the writing utensil). Not so with the Apple Pencil, which does not fit comfortably in a pocket. At $100, the last thing I want is to lose, drop, or forget the Pencil somewhere because Apple did not consider it important enough to accommodate storage or transportation of the Pencil along with the iPad Pro. Just one more thing to consider.

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.

Works well with a slim profile.

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I purchased my iPad Pro, I initially acquired the Logitech keyboard. I returned the keyboard within a couple days... It was too bulky. Then I tried Apple's Smart Keyboard. This keyboard is not perfect, but it works better than I would have originally anticipated. One of the negatives is that the keyboard is not backlit. This is not too bad as I am a touch typist, but sometimes in a dark environment, I miss the backlit keys which are an option on some other keyboard. What I like, however, is that the keyboard does not need charging... It is charged directly from the iPad Pro. The keyboard is also much studier than I would have thought. It is slim and does not add much bulk to the iPad Pro, which is great, yet it I can also use it on my lap without a problem. (It is not as sturdy as an actual laptop, mind you, but I am able to type with it on my lap on a plane or in bed without any issues.) Having to fold the keyboard several times to actually work is somewhat awkward and is a much less elegant solution when compared to the Microsoft Surface Pro. On the other hand, I am not sure how well the Surface would work on a lap. The Smart Keyboard also provides a "kickstand" for viewing or using the iPad in landscape orientation. The magnets hold well and the iPad does not dislodge from the Smart Keyboard when I am using it, which is good. The feel of the keyboard is not bad and kind of reminds me of the new MacBook, which a very short travel distance in the keys, which have an almost cloth-like feel to them (they do not feel plastic, like a typical keyboard). In comparison, however, I like the feel of the keys on the Microsoft Surface Pro better, which gives you a more traditional "keyboard" like feeling with a little more movement on the keys. The Smart Keyboard is a full-size keyboard, however, and includes an emoji button, which is nice for an iOS device. The iPad does sense when the keyboard is attached and removes the on-screen keyboard, which really lets you use the entire 12"+ screen to work, play, or do whatever you want.
Unfortunately, neither the Smart Keyboard nor the Apple silicone case accommodates the Apple Pencil. Such a feature is probably best reserved for a case as opposed to the Smart Keyboard, but this is an oversight that seems odd for a company with such an eye for detail and the user experience. The Smart Keyboard can be flipped directly over and placed under the iPad Pro so that I can use the iPad Pro on my lap or a flat surface, which works well (better than the Logitech keyboard). Because the keyboard itself adds a little bulk and is only about 2/3rds of the width of the iPad, however, this results in the iPad Pro being able to tip back and forth when using it on a flat surface. The movement is very small and not a huge inconvenience or a deal breaker for me. I can see how some may find it annoying, however.
I am still convinced that the iPad Pro with a Smart Keyboard (or any other keyboard, for that matter) is not necessarily a laptop killer. Aside from limitations with iOS, however, it comes close and the Smart Keyboard is one of the best options out there right now. It is sturdy and works well. I think Apple did a good job of balancing utility with minimal bulk and, of all the keyboard options out there right now for the iPad Pro, I think this is a very strong option.

There is not too much to say about this product. It is a Lego Dimensions fun pack and the character is one of the characters you need in the game to complete some of the puzzles. Having never seen Dr. Who, she really has no emotional attachment to the character or the set, but needed it to complete some of the areas.

Just okay speakers.

Maybe I am used to listening to Bose speakers, which have a very rich sound to them, but I find the Sonos speakers to be lacking in audio fidelity. They sound very hollow or tinny... The sound is not full like I am used to with my Bose speakers. The Sonos app is great, setup was simple, and linking multiple speakers together is a breeze. If only the speakers themselves sounded better. I realize it is a subjective measure, but the sound is just not that great. I was sold on the speakers given the strength of the app that Sonos developed, but regret that decision as I buy speakers because I want to listen to them, not because the app is cool. There is a bass boost setting, which helps a little, but it quickly takes the low frequencies over the top and produces rattling and vibration more than deep, rich bass that I am used to from other speakers. The Bose also has a display and some control buttons on their speakers, which is a nice feature. Having to pull out my phone or iPad when I want to simply skip a song is a royal pain sometimes. Aesthetically, these speakers are tall boxes... They are not very pleasing to look at (my wife hates them). Ultimately, I was very disappointed with these speakers.

I have been using Mac laptops for several years now and I always purchase a case for them because I do not want to scuff, scratch, or otherwise damage the case. I like the satin Speck cases given the variety of colors available, plus the stain finish that makes it easy to carry (not slippery). The reason I rated the case four instead of five stars is because it is easy for debris to eventually work its way in between the case itself and the laptop. Even fresh out of the box, it can be difficult to clean the interior of the case before putting it on the laptop due to a static charge that seems to build up when trying to wipe it down. Overall, this is a somewhat minor inconvenience, though. I have tried other cases and experienced heartbreak as feet/pads fell off, making the laptop wobble when typing. I have never experienced such an issue with a Speck case (and I have owned quite a few of them).
I would recommend against paying full price for the case ($50'ish) as Speck and Best Buy routinely seem to offer sales on the cases anywhere from 20 to 30% off.

Sensational Laptop
on January 4, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought my first MacBook Pro several years ago just to see what all the fuss was about and I would never switch back to a PC. Pound-for-pound, the MacBook Pro is one of the best laptops on the market. Compared to other similarly spec'ed computers, the MacBook is thinner and lighter with great battery life. (If I turn down the brightness and refrain from using processor-intensive programs, I do not have a problem running the laptop for a full 8-hour workday.) Beyond that, the retina display is beautiful and the internal SSD is blazing fast. The computer also has a strong Core i7 processor (although it is not Intel's latest model). Oddly enough, the thing about the MacBook Pro that I cannot live without is the glass touchpad. I have tried other laptops and they pale in comparison. The touchpad is smooth and responsive. It is a joy to use.
One of the things I also like about Macs is their operating system, OS X. Unlike Windows machines that try to be all things to all people, OS X is truly a desktop experience with a file system that makes sense and access to desktop applications. True, the MacBook Pro does not have a touch screen, but then again, if that is what I wanted, I could pick up a tablet.
I tend to upgrade computers frequently and the MacBook Pro, unlike an equivalent PC, tends to hold its value pretty well. Unlike PCs, a high-end MacBook Pro should also last for at least four to five years before an average user would even need to think about upgrading. Given Apple's closed architecture and operating system integration, a Mac is actually a good purchase. True, a MacBook Pro is more expensive than an equivalent PC, but then again, the MacBook Pro also does not come with any annoying shovel-ware that I would just need to uninstall after purchasing it. If you're looking for inexpensive or cheap, then the 15" MacBook Pro is not what you want. If you are willing to pay a little bit more for a computer that is definitely worth the premium (and are willing to learn some new keyboard shortcuts if you currently use PCs), this is a great option.
Apple also has a 13" model of the MacBook Pro, which can be a good compromise if you are looking for something a little more portable and less expensive. I used to have one of the newer 12" MacBooks as well, which was a sensational computer for traveling. The form factor on that unit was almost that of an iPad... It was incredible. I missed having multiple USB ports, however. I never could get quite used to the new keyboard mechanism, and the fanless computer MacBook, while incredibly cool and quiet, was horribly underpowered, especially if a person does any video editing or other processor-intensive tasks.
While I miss the extreme portability of my 12" MacBook (the 15" MacBook Pro feels like a boat anchor in comparison), the power of my 15" MacBook Pro is something I simply could not live without. With the 1 TB SSD, it truly does serve as not only my laptop, but a desktop replacement as well. (I found myself using my 15" MacBook Pro more than my 27" 5k retina iMac, so I sold the iMac and use the MacBook Pro as my sole computer now.) When at home or work, I just plug another monitor into the built-in HDMI port and I am all set with dual-screen computing. When on the go, the 15" screen provides plenty of real estate to multitask as well.
Ultimately, if you are looking for a computer to browse the internet, answer mail, and maybe do some word processing, this computer would probably be overkill. If you need portability and power, however, the 15" MacBook Pro is definitely difficult to beat.
