Not bad - but not for graphics intensive apps.

I use several different laptops for making Graphic Design imagery as well as for providing visual aids for lectures and demonstrations. I was looking for a way to add an additional screen to my office setup, as well as a wired output for video support during lectures. Using a USB3 port seems like a great option - and it is, but not for all my needs. The converter works to get signal to my additional monitor, but the response is too laggy to allow use with anything other than simple writing apps, or web browsing when response time is not crucial. Its terrible for watching movies - the playback is always choppy and the sound out of sync. One way I have found to use this is for putting a demo on an external screen - when my audience doesn't need to interact with what they are seeing. So its okay in a lecture setting to send signal out to a house monitor, for example, but not to add a screen for use when editing in Photoshop or Illustrator.

Expect more from your photography with this Canon Rebel T6 DSLR camera kit. It includes an 18-55mm lens and a 75-300mm lens so that you can cover the full range with your camera. An 18-megapixel sensor, DIGIC 4+ image processing and full 1080p video recording ensure you get solid performance out of this Canon Rebel T6 DSLR camera kit. .

This camera is a full featured entry level DSLR - if you are a seasoned pro you'll want to go with one of the pricier models, but if you are new to DSLR cameras and are looking to step up from a point and shoot camera to something much more powerful, this is a fine first step.
This camera gives you full control over most parameters of your photography, but includes a broad spectrum of presets and automation as well that lets you work your way up to using all the manual tools - if you are a beginner, this camera will carry you for a few years before you begin chafing for something a bit more substantial!
The camera body is light and solidly built - all the controls are accessible via buttons on the exterior of the camera as well as through an easily navigable menu. The view screen is generous and bright, easily readable in most settings. The camera also offers a viewfinder which is very helpful when shooting in high glare settings (or when you forget to bring your glasses with you!)
The included lenses cover a good range of distances, but you may want to invest in a wide angle lens - a good 12-20mm for getting more into your images (although most of the better ones out there will actually cost more than your camera did). The 75-300mm zoom lens will get you in close to many subjects, but don't expect it to compete with some of those 80x zooms you see on point and shoot cameras!
Changing out lenses is easy and fast.
There are ample settings for one shot, continuous shot, and timed delay shooting, so if you are shooting an active event you can get some great movement shots, and if you want to get into the picture yourself, its easy to do. When shooting in continuous mode, the camera will pause after five shots to let the data catch up - I've found that three shots is the gets keeps me from getting that delay.
Both of these lenses shoot a little on the slow side. There is a slight hesitation after pressing the shutter release. I've also noticed that although the 18-55mm kit lens is equipped with an anti-shake feature, it really doesn't do much. So - consider adding a tripod to your purchase too!
The picture quality is excellent - I always shoot in RAW and this camera offers six RAW quality settings and the same for JPEG. Or you can choose to shoot both simultaneously if you don't know a lot about the formats and want to learn. Its great to have both formats to do side by side comparisons.
This camera does not have an infrared sensor, so if you wish to use a remote, you'll have to use the Canon Camera Connect mobile app - it is available for both IOS and Android devices (sadly not for Windows 10 mobile devices though!). In addition to letting you control your camera remotely, the mobile apps also let you view the pictures on your camera on the bigger screens of your smartphone (I use my iPad - and its great to see a real time image for composition on that screen - believe me!) The app is pretty easy to use and so far I've found it to be stable and reliable, although more so on my iPad than on my Android phone.
This camera is also capable of shooting HD movies and that is a terrific feature - but keep in mind, you'll have to master your lenses in order to stay in focus and do efficient zooms and pans.
Overall this is a great camera. Canon lenses can be used on all their DSLR's, so when you are ready to upgrade to a more professional camera back, you'll be able to keep your lens kit and accessories.

Great, but only sometimes

When this stylus is working it is a terrific tool. It glides beautfully across the iPad screen, responds fluidly to pressure and tilt to provide a varied and lively line, and is a pleasure to hold and to draw with. The problem is, the Pencil doesn't always work. Sometimes it starts smearing every line I make. Other times it just becomes unresponsive, or requires inordinate pressure to produce a line. The tips don't last very long either, so I recommend not using it for any task other than drawing or writing.
As a simple stylus, when it is not connected to an app (when I use it as a simple stylus) it works fine all the time, but with a device this pricey, you don't want those enhanced features to be useful only part time. I hope that the next generation of Pencils from 53 will improve on these issues.

I'm looking for a camera to make decent YouTube videos and good actions shots of my brother playing soccer, I have no idea what to look for so any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
This one will do that for you - it gives you a broad range of settings for shooting under low light situations (like poorly lit gymnasiums, or under cloudy skies on a sports field) and some very high ISO settings to help you keep your shutter speed fast in action settings. You can shoot in burst mode to get a lot of shots in just a few seconds but I've found that after five shots the camera needs to rest and catch up with the data its processing -

how the sound and video to this camera? is it good for youtube?
The sound quality is passable, but if you want high fidelity sound you may want to invest in an external microphone. Like all surface microphones, this one picks up sound from camera handling, wind and so forth and its non directional - not bad for home videos and family stuff, but I'd want a better mic for concerts or professional use.
