Verified Purchase:Yes
Decent enough quality for "free" (I say free as it never is really free). One of the better discount codes out there for Shutterfly

Very solid tripod for the price
on July 14, 2018
Posted by: MarkS42

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am giving this tripod 5 starts. That is not to say it is the best tripod out there, but for the value for money it is very good. It is sturdy enough for my Nikon D5100 with the 35mm f/1.8 and would even hold steady with my Nikon 18-300 lens. The bag is easy to carry. Not the lightest tripod, not the steadiest tripod, but a good tripod for the price.

After firmware updates this is a great device
on January 1, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
So initially there were audio quality issues, but after the latest firmware updates these seem to be resolved. This is working well in my Alexa household (this, 1 dot and 2 Ecobee 4 thermostats). It controls my smart plugs well (wemo) and Alexa as a whole has nice integrations etc.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My Synology DS1511+ now has 2 of these and 3 5TB drives (could not get the 5TB any more). They have performed well so far, reliable and fast enough for the 5 bay NAS for my uses. These are WD40EFRX drives in the box.

Good, but not perfect
on April 22, 2017
Posted by: MarkS42
from North Attleboro, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This I have to say is a 5* product based on just the price alone. It was extremely cheap when on sale and is a perfect small backup that can be kept in my bag or my other half's purse. It is not a 5* review however as the technology is a little older and packs less charge than some of the more modern ones available that are similar size/weight.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is an upcoming action role-playing third-person shooter video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Although it shares the universe of the original trilogy, the title is considered a game derived, not the fourth episode of the saga.

A good , but not great, addition to the ME series
on April 22, 2017
Posted by: MarkS42
from North Attleboro, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I am going to say that I loved all the previous ME games, but so far ME Andromeda has been only so-so for me. I am not a big fan of the control mechanism or the new resource gathering methods for colonization, and I have hit a few bugs (e.g. my rover dropping off a cliff with me not in it and not being able to get back to it!).
Hoping some patches help this game along and I will get into it more.

Very nice case for Mass Effect

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a really nice game case (steel book) for ME Andromeda. The artwork is very nice and the case is well made. I gave this as a gift to a friend who collects them and is a ME fan, but was unable to get the steelbook version.

Charging your Apple Watch is utterly effortless with an Apple solution that combines MagSafe technology with inductive charging. It's a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. And it's very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically.

Original charging cable at a good length

I needed a longer charging cable and this is the original Apple cable and works as expected. Not much else to say. I guess would be nicer if it was a little cheaper, but this is Apple...

Excellent upgrade over original Magic Trackpad
on February 19, 2017
Posted by: MarkS42
from North Attleboro, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have several of the original trackpads that I have used over the years with my Macs, but I decided to upgrade to the Magic Trackpad 2 for my office system. I like the addition of the Force Touch options, but have to say it takes a little getting used to when coming from the original Magic Trackpad due to the tendency to go into force touch mode with the pressure applied vs the original.
The added size of the new trackpad is another nice addition, and to be hones, the white color is nice too (I don't normally care about that but it looks good).
The only negative, I had the original Apple Wireless keyboard, and had to upgrade to the Magic Keyboard to go with this due to the different angle and height etc, as it just didn't look or feel right.

What's the difference between this drive and the WD40EFRX?

None, that is what this drive is inside the packaging. This is the retail kit. See my attached screenshot from my NAS showing the two I just picked up recently.

Going on a trip to Italy. Can this battery be charged using a European adapter at 220v or will I need to buy a convertor?

This is charged via USB not direct into mains electricity. As such if you have a standard wall adapter for USB power (e.g. the average phone charger) then yes this can be charged. Most phone adapters are universal voltage and frequency (110-240v and 50/60Hz). Or charge from computer USB port.
