Not too bulky and still protecting

I tested first a OtterBox for my IPAD PRO 12" and thought, well that makes it bigger and more bulky then a Laptop. So this one is slim and functional but with a little less screen protection.

Love it!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought it while staying at a friends house and she did not have a smart TV or Apple TV and this one was the right price for streaming HD (not 4k) from my AMAZON PRIME Account. It was easy to setup and works like it should.
BUT my friend has problems with it, she has to call me always and asking me how to get the TV channels back on.
What I found out is, that some people get confused by all the remote-controls, one for selecting the "SOURCE" on the TV, one for the "Fire Stick" and one for the "Tivo-Providers-Broadcasting-Service-Box." Well, when you program a multi-task master-remote-control for them, then you should see there faces when looking at the millions of buttons.
Just get a smart TV next time!

I bought it to transport some 10 pounds of frozen dinner from AZ to WI, which is a 3 days car ride.. When i arrived in Green Bay WI the food was still frozen!!!
It really isolates perfectly, but it's a monster, just to big for me.

Transfer files between your iPad, iPhone and computer without the hassle of email or cloud options by using the SanDisk iXpand flash drive. Like standard flash drives, it has a USB connection for your computer. The SanDisk iXpand flash drive also has a lightning connection for iOS devices so moving files between phones, tablets and computers is easy.

Better than emailing my files!
on May 17, 2018

from Sedona, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to transfer a lot of files to my new IPAD PRO. The stick helped BUT only 3 stars, because there was a long lean-curve. First I had to install an APP on my IPAD PRO and then I had to figure out how to send the files from the stick to the right APP on my IPAD. .... After all the time put into it, I decided to go an other way and use DropBox for my file transfer.
I use it now to transfer pictures and videos to my friends and students computer, but at my home I use WiFi and cloud software for transferring files.
It works, but if you have a fast wireless system, don't bother with it. It's just a back-up-plan for me now.

For STAGE - My Work Horse - very reliable
on May 17, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a musician and use this for my backtrack on stage. Playing at Art Festivals I need to see the track names better and have fast access all play functions and play-lists easy and over a long time (7hours). It's perfect for that!
I disabled screen time out and because of that it uses up the battery too fast. So now I use a 26000mAp power-pack to recharge it during my performances. That is a little bulky but better than having to deal with a black screen.. The power-pack is empty after 2x8hours IPOD use.

This OTTERBOX saved my cell phone a hundred times!

Well, 5-STARS plus!!! I have this now 2years on my phone and replaced it with a new one to have a cleaner screen protection. I am a 100% sure that my Samsung Galaxy would have been badly broken without this OtterBox protection.
I am using it with my SQUARE-UP CreditCard reader. To make this possible you need a little extension or what I did, just cut 1mm of hard-plastic away.

Acer 27" S271HL DBID LED HD Monitor: The thin design lets you place this large monitor almost anywhere — even hang it on the wall (wall mount sold separately). Great for playing video games, showing movies, viewing documents side by side, and enlarging photos during the editing process.

Big Bang for the Dollar - and great colors
on June 29, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I like the clean look, the Big 27" Screen and the great colors. Have it hooked up on my gaming laptop with a HDMI cable. This is not the fastest monitor 6sec, but good enough for my video editing.
This monitor is wall mountable, which is strangely enough not common in the 27" screen size.

Improved my WIFI, but not as fast as a hoped
on June 29, 2017
Posted by: PeterAK
Verified Purchase:Yes
I will keep it, because it improved my WIFI, but not as fast as a hoped. I am using it at a friends house who has only a 2.5 GHZ router. I also experienced a view drop-outs when streaming movies. But it is better than it was before. Perhaps I have to play around more with the placement of the device.

This Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E1T0B/AM solid state drive features 3D V-NAND technology to provide enhanced performance while taking up minimal space in your compatible Windows computer. The 1TB capacity provides plenty of space for media and more.
 

Does it fit on a Dell XPS 15?

I have a Dell XPS 15 notebook - model L502x. Does this drive replace the notebook's HDD?

Thanks!
YES!

I am not familiar with the new solid state drives. Would like to get some general information and how much to purchase and install into existing emachines desktop with windows 10? Thanks, Don

This is my second SSD from SAMSUNG. I had first the 500GB version for my video files on my desktop (the OS was already on a SSD, but the data needs to be on a separate SSD to speed up reading), and now the "Samsung - 850 EVO 1TB Internal Sata III Solid State Drive - Black" version for my Laptops main hard-drive, OS.

If money is no problem, take the "pro" version of this hard-drive. Otherwise the "850 EVO" last long enough until you have to upgrade your whole computer (every 5 years!!!). (5 computer years is like 72 human years!)

There are 4 important ways to speed-up your computer:
1. Upgrade the ram to the maximum (I did)
2. Upgrade the Video card (I did Nvidia 1080)
3. Upgrade to SSD (now I did for my Laptop)
4. Separate the OS system from the data storage (Have 2 SSD's, one for data, and one for the OS).

BUT to make it clear, the biggest impact is the SSD upgrade for the OS.

OS = Operating System (like Windows 10, or ... )

Hope that helps you ...

Difference between ssd and ssd pro

SSD pro has a longer warranty, so should last longer.

Since I would replace/upgrade my computer every 5 years, I would put the OS (Operating system on a regular SSD and the data on a SSD PRO. When upgrading to a new computer, you can remove the old data SSD and place it in the new desktop or in an external drive compartment. In this way you save yourself time to transfer the data. Samsung lets you choose in the SSD setup between "Performance" and "Data-security."

So, choose "High performance" for the Operating System (like Windows 10) and "Data-security" for the DATA-Drive.

I recommend the "Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal Sata III Solid State Drive" for any computers OS, no matter Laptop or desktop. 250GB is sometimes to small.

1. Upgrade the ram to the maximum
2. Upgrade the Video card (DESKTOP: Nvidia 1080). Laptops video cards are mostly not upgrade able.
3. Upgrade to SSD for the OS.
4. Separate the OS system from the data storage, have 2 SSD's, one for data, and one for the OS.

BUT to make it clear, the biggest impact is the SSD upgrade for the OS and the separation, have the data on a second SSD.

The NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter with high-gain antennas provides 3x faster access than USB 2.0. Wirelessly connect your notebook or desktop computer to an 11ac network for applications such as lag-free, multiple HD streams throughout your home.
 

Is this wifi adapter any good for PC gaming?

YES, very fast and reliable! Just make sure that you are not too far away from the router, also, this is the strongest receiver I ever had. Of-cause you need the right router with it which deliverers 5000MHZ.
