Think Lego Meets Minecraft...

Purchased for my daughter who loves Minecraft as well as Legos. This game is kind of a perfect marriage of the two. She can explore and build similar to in Minecraft, but with Legos! She loves it.

Was hoping to see this on the XBox One!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had this game when it was out on the Wii U. I loved the game, but didn't care too much for the Wii U. I am glad to see this game out on other platforms now!
If you are used to any of the other Lego games, this one is not much different. Play through story mode, collect studs, find red bricks, etc. This game actually reminds me a little bit of Grand Theft Auto meets Lego in that the Lego City is pretty open with a lot to do and discover.
Lot of hours of gameplay here.

Encase your Macbook Pro in this sparkling Speck SmartShell cover. It fits the 13-inch Macbook Pro with or without the Touch Bar and provides hardshell protection that prevents damage from scratches or dents, and its rubberized feet keep it from slipping on smooth surfaces. This Speck SmartShell cover has embedded glitter crystals for beauty that won't scratch off.

Nice case. Unique color.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This case fits the 13" MBP with touch bar very well. I also like the unique color/styling given the gold glitter. (The computer is used by my wife and daughter, who also find the case to be quite fashionable.) With all that being said, I felt the case worthy of four stars (instead of five) because it is somewhat pricy compared to other options that are available out there. I have had Speck cases before, though, and they seem to hold up well (and if there is a problem, Speck has been very good at honoring their warranty).

Minor Shortcomings but Great Overall
on April 2, 2017
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a series one Apple Watch and the second iteration was well worth the upgrade for me. The two features in particular that I really appreciate is the inclusion of built-in GPS (new in the series two) and the ability to store music. The watch connects to my wireless headphones via bluetooth, which allows me to have hours of music with me wherever I go (without having to bring my phone with me). Apple also improved the battery life in this version as well. Even if I exercise for a few hours using the GPS and bluetooth streaming of music, I have no problem getting more than a full day out of the battery. The watch can track different types of workouts, periodically gauges your heart rate, and Apple does a decent job of updating the OS with new and improved features. The water resistance is great too. No worries wearing the watch in the rain, the pool, or in the shower. (As a matter of fact, salt from sweat can affect the performance of the watch's digital crown, which requires you to rinse it under warm water to correct the issue.) When paired with an iPhone, I can receive and respond to text messages as well (which is great when trying to keep a low profile in a meeting; much less intrusive than pulling out my phone to respond to a text) and can even answer the phone with the watch. Every time I do that, I feel like Dick Tracy. The sound quality is not bad on phone calls either. Sounds like a strange feature, but there are times I receive a phone call at home, have no idea where my phone is, and answer the call on my watch.
With that being said, the watch does need to be charged every night. Unlike some of the competing watches out there, this one does not track your sleep because you have to charge the watch sometime and at night makes the most sense. I am also befuddled as to why I am limited to 2GB of songs when the watch indicates it still has more than 2GB of free space available. (I believe the watch keeps 2GB available for the storage of pictures, but I have no idea why someone would use the watch for storing pictures. The screen is too small for that.)
Overall, though, I have used several fitness trackers and the Apple Watch does that and more. The Nike branding is nice without any additional upcharge for that. Can always swap out the bands if the Nike band gets old. Unless there is something remarkable in the next version of the Apple Watch, I will probably keep this one for quite a while.

Worthy Upgrade from my Powerbeats2
on April 1, 2017
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a pair of Powerbeats2 previously and debated if this would be worth the upgrade. In brief, there are a few things that made the upgrade well worth the cost. First, the Powerbeats3 have Apple's W1 chip built in. This means that it connected seamlessly with my iPhone and my Apple Watch. Even better yet, I can see the battery percentage remaining on the Powerbeats3 through my iPhone. No more guessing if I have enough "juice" for one more run! Second, the battery life is at least double what it was on the Powerbeats2. I have not fully tested the 12 hour claim as I like to recharge them before it gets close, but the increase from the previous 5 hours on the Powerbeats2 is a tremendous improvement. Third, while the design is very similar to that of the Powerbeats2, for whatever reason, the Powerbeats3 seem to be more comfortable to me. They do not move when I am jogging (the over-the-ear loop does a good job of ensuring that) and are very comfortable to the point where, once I start moving, I do not even feel them in/on my ear.
As with the Powerbeats2, the Powerbeats3 do not fully occlude external/environmental noise. They are not noise cancelling, nor do they attempt to isolate external/environmental noise. As I do a lot of jogging on streets and roadways, I actually really appreciate this as I can still hear the approach of cars/trucks as I'm jogging.
The only reason I did not rate these headphones with five stars is because the audio just does not sound very "rich" to me. It sounds "tinny," like there is too much treble. I know a common complaint of Beats headphones has been that they pump up the bass too much. That is definitely not the case here and I am left wondering if they tried to compensate for those complaints and went too far the other way? Considering that I wear them almost exclusively for jogging outside, though, the audio quality is still acceptable for me.

Daughter Enjoyed the New Levels

This figure unlocks new levels in the Skylanders Imaginators game. My daughter really enjoyed the new levels, from what I understand. Seems like a good way to extend gameplay, albeit at the cost of purchasing this as an extra add-on to the game.

Purchased this for my daughter. She really likes the Skylanders games and enjoyed this set. At some point, I think having too many of these figures is redundant, but my daughter likes to collect them.

Holding Up Well So Far
on February 1, 2017
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
This hard shell case is the color my daughter liked and it seems to do a good job of protecting the exterior of her MacBook Air from scratches and damage. I have purchased other Speck cases before and have had issues with some of them breaking/cracking, especially along the back in the corners. We have not had any issues with this case thus far, despite my daughter's lack of concern in how she handles the laptop. I believe we picked it up on sale, which made it a very worthwhile purchase for us.

MacBook Air features up to 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.1 Its thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go-and powerful enough to do everything once you get there, better.

Nice, but outdated compared to other Apple options
on February 1, 2017
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this MacBook Air for my daughter's use at home with school work. The item was on sale, so it was a good deal for the price. For anyone thinking about purchasing, however, be aware that it has been a while since the Airs have been updated and Apple has better offerings available in their MacBook and MacBook Pro lines. 128GB of SSD storage is rather paltry. The screen is not a retina screen (the difference is like night and day for me as I use a retina display every day) and the touchpad is the "older" iteration that uses a physical click (as opposed to the haptic feedback in the newer MacBook and MacBook Pro lines). Again, the saving grace for this unit is that it can be picked up for less than $1,000 (inexpensive for a Mac laptop). For a few extra bucks, though, a 12" MacBook is a nice option (even with the smaller screen) and a 13" MacBook Pro may be a consideration for those who want some current technology.
Short story... If you want a macOS device and want to keep the price tag under $1,000, this Air is still a decent option (the 11" version is still available as well). If you need more storage space, however, you will need to pay more and, if you start going that route, the Air may no longer be your best choice. (The 12" MacBook and 13" MacBook Pros start at $1,300 and $1,500 respectively with 256 GB of SSD. You're at $1,200 for a 13" Air with 256 GB. Considering the retina display and the upgraded touchpad, the 12" MacBook may be a better choice if processing power is not that important to you. Otherwise, the 13" MacBook Pro may be a better option if you have the extra $300 to spend.)
I would not recommend this unit to a friend because the Airs are long overdue for an update by Apple and the MacBook or MacBook Pros provide better options now for not too much more. With that being said, there is still a market for this unit, depending on your needs. (In my case, it seemed like the perfect laptop for my child.)

Will this fit a 13.3 in Mac pro
No. The 13" MacBook Pro is a different design. This case will fit the 13.3" MacBook Air only.
