Perfect for my Hand...your's may not agree.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love my Magic Mouse. Its the complement to when I'm using a keyboard and remote monitor with my MacBooks. Easy to set-up and with phenomenal battery life. Biggest complaints, not great for gaming, your hand maybe different than mine regarding comfort, and the price is significantly higher than non-Apple mice from Logitec or others.

The 13-inch MacBook Air features 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.* It’s thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go—and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

Outstanding Mac for the Money
on June 8, 2018
Posted by: Joepure

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have never owned or used a MacBook Air, you are in for a treat. Apple's integrated approach of MacOS, hardware and software design makes this machine much greater than specs would lead you to believe.
Near instant on; a 10 hours of truly portable computing; quick, crisp general computing, the ability to do most general business things for a great price (with current rebates, etc.)
What's not to like? WELLLLL...the non-retina screen can be tiring to your eyes after a day of work, the sound is only OK.
Other than that - it's easy to pick-up, start using and being productive. Something that one rarely says about any Windows 10 machine these days.

A Powerhouse Portable for Work and Play
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: Joepure
from Calabasas, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although it's technically my first MSI machine, I have used MSI mainboards and graphics cards for a few years and have always been satisfied with their ability to balance performance and price.
The GS Stealth Pro slim-bodied portable is a really nice piece of kit! The machine is surprisingly robust and easy to use for the mundane things like MS Office and Google Docs but is just incredibly fast when it comes to the graphics intensive world of image processing, animation rendering and games.
I love the Steelcase keyboard - for feel if not the light show. The IPS screen is a hotly debated item. To my eyes it's acceptable. It's bright enough for me in how I use it. But, it's not as easy on my eyes as my MacBook or MacBook Pro Retina screens. It's not bad, but you should definitely look at one using the programs or types of documents you handle.
Or if you use an outboard monitor or two, it becomes moot.
Overall, the quality feels and seems above average. And in the 2 months of ownership, nothing has failed other than MS WIN 10.
If you want a game friendly great value portable machine. I would absolutely urge you to check out this great machine from MSI.

Buy cheap - get cheap. Don't bother with this band

Posted by: Joepure

Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, it's not like I was expecting this Exclusive Band to be as good as the OEM Apple silicon band, but I did expect it to be at least well made.
It's not. It's not as soft or pliable. The pins that secure the straps are difficult to use and often pop out on their own.
If I could return this, I would.

If you love games - you need a Switch

Verified Purchase:Yes
Leave it to Nintendo to rekindle my love for great big games with their new Switch platform. Honesty, I'm not sure why it took so long for them to do this - but regardless. It's here and just great!
Well... Zelda is great! Mario Kart is great - the other games from other publishers...eh!
My only beef: battery life. It's 3 hours maybe and honestly, I don't know why they couldn't give us a bit more with some power mgmt. tweaks. Still, when connected to the console housing - it's just fine!

iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 6.1mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.

Mighty Mini 4 is my Favorite iPad
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: Joepure
from Calabasas, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's all about utility. I like to dump my notebook when traveling and still have access to fast web, an eye-friendly screen and now that I can be gone all day without looking around for an outlet. The iPad Mini 4 does this near perfection. It's noticeably lighter than the previous 2 generations and honestly, feels as fast as my iPad Air 2 in the things I do most often. Can't imagine traveling without it and highly recommend this iPad.

Becoming My Favorite Macbook!
on July 29, 2016
Posted by: Joepure
from Calabasas, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's been so much written about how the new Macbook 12" - and most of it was not overwhelmingly positive. So like all experienced Apple buyers, I waited to see what changes would be made. Hardly any... so I bought one to replace my 11.6" Macbook Air. I am glad that I did and glad that I waited. The screen is just awesome! It's so much easier to create on the Retina LCD. My eyes at the end of the day are noticeably less tired. The keyboard is not as hard for one to adjust as the reviewers would leave you to believe. The responsiveness is there - just different. I don't have any problems spending 4 hours in an economy seat working. Regardless of test scores, this machine feels quicker than my 2014 Air to the point that I haven't looked back. The USB C adapter is not a big deal to me since nearly all of my connection points are wireless but, I have to say that I miss my MagSafe2 power adapter. If you need multiple connections - you will have to spend $100 bucks more on cables and dongles and adapters that just always break or get lost. I love the battery life - a day without cords is always a good day. For the professional who is on the move or a student looking for an all day machine - I would certainly recommend the New Macbook.

Excellent Value in Reliable Storage

Verified Purchase:Yes
This XD from SanDisk Pixtor was a recent addition to my gadgets as I entered the world of no-memory Adroid mobile phones. I'm happy with this XD card so far - it was recognized immediately and my Galaxy S seems to be a bit faster since I moved a ton of files over to the XD card. Hard to argue with SanDisk quality and BestBuy's fair pricing.

A versatile lens that should be part of your kit
on March 28, 2016
Posted by: Joepure
from Calabasas, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This lens was acquired to see if it would give me more opportunities to use my Sony 4/3's 5000a camera. The answer is unequivocally yes! For working in large areas where 5-6 steps are not possible, the 55-210 zoom really does the trick without sacrificing too much in the way of aperture in medium lit situations. it's fast, comfortable in my large hands (less in a woman's I imagine) and the image stabilization seems to work just fine. Sorry that I waited to buy this!

Better Covers Exist - Apple's is only OK
on February 17, 2014
Posted by: Joepure
from Calabasas, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, I wanted to like the snazzy little cover from Apple - it had supposedly been redesigned for the new Air, but after a week, I'm disappointed. The tri-fold design seems to be less secure than older versions when using the iPad on a desktop (or tray table) to have hands free viewing. It always started to unfold! It's a dirt magnet! Yes, a light color will always show more but regardless, once marked, its impossible to clean. The magnetic attachment points are easy to disrupt separating the cover while it is in a backpack or purse. And not to state the obvious, but I will, it offers no protection for the rear of the case. I would be hard pressed to recommend this to anyone who actually uses or travels with their iPad Air.

What's great about it: Nothing!
What's not so great: Pricey! No back protection. Get's dirty easily and can not be cleaned. Separates from the iPad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
