Tons of space at a low price, would prefer if they didn't use propriety cables, but great for massive backups.

Will change how you watch movies or play games

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn't sure I would like this, but after putting it on and watching a BR movie, you feel like you are inside a dark theater - at the perfect center and correct distance from the giant screen - without anyone else - sold me on this.
You can also just play *any* game on a giant screen in addition to the actual PSVR games (which some are really good).
For me, it's worth it just to watch a movie using PSVR, you may never want to go to a theater again.

Log into your PS4 wirelessly with the PlayStation camera. Its dual wide-angle lenses and four microphones let the device record and recognize users as they sign in, play games and interact. Use the PlayStation camera to log in via face recognition, launch games with voice commands, and navigate and access programs hands-free.

Required for some PSVR applications/games, and wish they would have made a better holder as most TV's are incredibly thing and it is easy to knock the camera off.

Required for some VR Games
on February 14, 2017
Posted by: MrPHD

Verified Purchase:Yes
These are required/recommended for certain VR games, particularly shooters. My only problem with it is it needs to be plugged into a PS3/PS4 via Firewire, but the PS4 only has 2 USB ports which 1 is reserved for the PSVR.

Amazing Tracker
on November 5, 2015
Posted by: MrPHD
from Pasadena
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this so I could glance at texts when pulled over while riding my bike or see who is calling while riding. It does a great job with the calling, but the texting feature isn't all that great. Wasn't able to get the music functions to work but I don't really need them. The monitoring itself is great and I keep it on all the time (except in the showers/water obviously).
Helpful tip: your wrist expands and contracts throughout the day, if you have it really tight around you, it'll be tighter when your wrist expands, and therefore cause skin irritations! I like to keep it 1 notch from being snug, and I'll loosen it when my wrist expands and it becomes snug. Now that I do this, I no longer have any problems with skin irritations, and the HR monitor still works properly.

Great for the USB and extra plugs, the only problem is it can come off easily come off the wall when trying to unplug or if there is movement nearby. They should've left an opening to secure it.

Is the keyboard included

The Studio is 1 device that doesn't not separate like the Surface Pro. So you'll always have the keyboard, and when you put it in tablet mode, the screen sits on top of the keyboard.

What is the GPU TDP? Also, is this the 3050 or the 3050ti? On the Microsoft website, they list it as a 3050ti.

3050ti, most laptops will be ti versions.

Pretend money wasn’t an option. I’m not buying for gaming. But plan to use a lot. Would you recommend surface laptop Studio 16gb i7 512 or surface pro 8 same specs? Thanks

I don't think those 2 really compare - it really depends on your usage. If money is not an issue and *weight* is not an issue, Studio hands down. If weight *is* an issue, then SP8 because you can then use in tablet mode without the extra weight of Studio's base.

I myself wouldn't get a Surface Pro anymore though, just because you eventually have to replace that keyboard, and I don't mind the weight - so Surface Studio all the way.

Will this version and the Xbox version work with a PC? Will it be via Bluetooth or USB? Will mic monitoring work while connected to PC and iPad through Bluetooth? Been looking for a wireless headset with mic monitoring that works on PC, Switch, and iPad!

It’s fully Bluetooth capable without the dongle - the dongle is only for PS4. I have it pairs with ipad/pc as well, for both audio / voice.

Does an iPhone display a separate battery % for each earbud and a third one for the case?

No, you will only see the charge amount of which ever you have on. So if it's one earbud, that one. 2 earbuds? The combo of them. The case has it's own indicator.

Hi, I bought this laptop. I don't know how to activate windows 10 included. Thanks

Hi, I also noticed Windows 10 was not activated - if you haven't already - press the windows key and search for "Activation" and it will bring up "Activation Settings."
In there, you can then activate the computer and it only takes a few seconds. Make sure you're connected to the internet.
