Compared with a surface this is less fragile. Compared to an iPad or Android tablet much more versatile. SSD fairly fast processor optimized for battery life. Screen very good 1920 1080 color calibration poor compared to iPad or surface. Very light great for trips.

Fell apart removing from packaging
on February 1, 2017
Posted by: Lorax
from Louisiana
One of the two earpieces literally fell apart upon removing the earbud from the case. I was able to connect them and the sound was above average for a earbud of this class. The method of securing the Ear Bud may be uncomfortable for some users.

Disappointed
on December 22, 2016
Posted by: Lorax
from Louisiana
I was excited about this product before testing it. I have three canary cameras and would like to have a similar cloud product for outside camera positions. I do have experience with fixed wired outside units and a dvr. It can be very expensive to have outdoor surveillance camera installed in your home or business. One must handle the power, network and mounting issues. This system is wireless, has a decent battery life and is easy to mount due to their size and a nicely designed magnet mount. The camera immediately uploads 10 second or so video streams to the cloud and one can view, download or share these streams easily via the app or a browser interface.
One of the two cameras that came that came with the system would not sync to the base unit. After 20 minutes of troubleshooting, a 15 minute wait on hold and a 10 minute call it was determined by Netgear tech support that the case needed to be elevated to the next level of support. Later that day I received an email suggesting an RMA with options include me shipping the camera and waiting, a swap (they ship camera in a week or so and I ship mine back anytime (cost) or an expedited ship (extra cost). All three of these options are unacceptable to someone who just bought an expensive system and wasted a hour getting it to not work. Netgear needs to realize that when they charge more for a products (Arlo pro or high end router) a higher level of service is expected. They do not need to become Apple but this is not a $79 router purchase.
The single working camera seems to have a good battery life and takes OK clips. As usual with outdoor cameras, one must be mindful of the position of the sun and night lighting as you can easily have issues with contrast or false alarms. I did not ideally position the camera but did it place by two different entrances and let it run for a couple of days. The video quality and motion activation were both disappointing especially compared with my wired sony units. One time the motion detectioin missed first part of the approach of someone to the door and another time there were artifacts in the video (blocks and stuttering) both of which obscured the face of the potential intruders.
Perhaps with firmware upgrades, perfect positioning and ideal wireless conditions these camera could be serious security cameras but I was quite disappointed in the product.

Glimpse at the future
on November 8, 2016
Posted by: Lorax

Remember clippy? Remember Siri? finally digital assistants are becoming useful. Google has a huge advantage if you are a user of their services (search, Gmail, calendar etc) as their answers are much more intelligent. The speaker is small has a touch surface which in addition to the voice responses gives fast feedback and control. The sound quality is just below a Sonos play 1.

Better than Iphone, Nexus and Samsung
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: Lorax
from Louisiana
The Pixel is the first no compromise Android phone. Great screen (OLED higher resolution than Iphone) with good calibration, fast processor, hardware/software optimization, no unwanted Android add ons, monthly security updates (not when apple or verizon decide it is in their interests to patch), 2 years of Android updates, split screen, plenty of RAM, free full resolution backup of photos and videos, extra help without paying for apple care plus, fast charging (without overheating), great battery life, near instant fingerprint sensor (on the back where it should be). great size and weight. More cost effective than apple, easier setup and backup, great GPS, pedometer, and the new iteration of google assistant is the future of AI. Just buy and swap SIMS card and enter google password and you can upgrade in minutes.

Make a smart solution to upgrade your home security to IndoorCam Mini. Never second-guess what you see in clear 2K resolution, and give yourself control with pan and tilt functions to monitor your home’s most vital areas. IndoorCam Mini features On-Device AI Human Detection, a technology that identifies humans in the frame and only sends you the notifications that matter. After returning home, you can turn on Home Privacy Mode, which turns off the camera and rotates it to your preferred privacy angle. Best of all, there’s no monthly fee after your purchase.
 

Can the recordings be stored to another location, like a PC location/NAS/etc?

Until now, streaming devices forced you to use each of your apps individually – creating browsing headaches and disconnected watch lists. TiVo Stream 4K is the first to help you find what you want to watch–across your favorite apps–without needing to switch between platforms and navigate different screens. Recommendations from your apps are combined, giving you all your options in one place. And with direct integration with Sling , your live entertainment has a home alongside your streaming shows and movies. From beginning to end, from binge to browse, TiVo Stream 4K delivers an amazing Android TV streaming media player experience. A voice control remote with the power of Google Assistant lets you find movies, check scores, dim the lights and so much more, all with your voice. With Chromecast built-in, you can easily cast movies, music, and more to your TV from your mobile devices. Google Play integration gives you access to a world of movies, shows, games, and over 5,000 apps. Plus, with 4K UHD, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos compatibility, you can enjoy cinematic-quality viewing from the comfort of your couch. The company that invented the DVR just simplified streaming. Less scrolling, more watching. Availability of streaming content from third-party sources is subject to change and certain third-party fees may apply. Streaming apps may not be available in all regions. Broadband internet connection is required to access and receive streaming and live TV content.
 

Can this record live tv ? And can I watch another channel while it is recording ?

No dvr function just streaming (unless part of streaming app).

How on earth do you game with a keyboard that wide? I think it would be painful after awhile to have your arms spread that wide for one hand to be on the keyboard and your other arm way out to the right to be using the mouse. Am I missing something?

Keys are standard and same as my Corsair

How far can ZenWatch be away from phone?

I don't carry my phone all the time. How far can ZenWatch be away from phone and still work? Let's say in a big open conference room.
Will not stay connected even in medium sized house. If single large room maybe 50 feet.
