Made a useless charger useful again
on February 9, 2018
Posted by: DaveKay

Verified Purchase:Yes
A friend had an old MacBook he’d gotten rid of and found a charging cord when cleaning up his office. He asked if I wanted it and I said yes because I wanted a second one for traveling. But, his was an original MagSafe charger - glad this adapter was available. Cost way less than I expected and works perfectly. Saved about $70 and got the second charger I wanted.

Totally Necessary Accessory
on February 4, 2018
Posted by: DaveKay
from Minneapolis
Verified Purchase:Yes
I lost the one that came with my MacBook and found that I couldn’t use the MagSafe cord on its own in a lot of places because the reach was too far, or worse there wasn’t enough room to plug it directly into the wall receptacle. SO - had to get a new one. Now my universe is back in balance.

Great blue switch keyboard
on February 4, 2018
Posted by: DaveKay
from Minneapolis
Verified Purchase:Yes
This keyboard replaces one with Cherry MX red switches. I love the substantial build - it’s solid, heavy, and the rubber feet ensure it won’t move on the desktop. The Cherry MX blue switches have s distinctly different feel than the reds. I use the keyboard for typing (I am not a gamer) and I appreciate the tactile feedback (the click) and the additional pressure it takes to actuate the switch. Red switches are softer and less tactile - and less noisy. But, I like the noisy, clicky keys. The increased pressure helps my typing accuracy too. The red backlight is a neat touch as is the additional USB port on the keyboard - note that in order to use it there is a second usb plug at the end of the braided cord so you have to have two available USB ports to use it. I do and it is VERY convenient.

Nice cord, better price
on January 20, 2018
Posted by: DaveKay
from Minneapolis
Verified Purchase:Yes
The braided cord is nice! It gets the job done and the longer length is great for when I travel. Always worried whether a non-OEM cord will work with Apple products, but that’s only for the really cheap cords. This is a nice price balance between overpaying for Apple cords and overpaying for a piece of junk cord that doesn’t work. These are quality at the right price.

A great time machine

from Minneapolis
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got it to back up my MacBook Air with a Time Machine drive. Obviously not the same as Apple's Time Machine/Router - but that's not what I needed either. My MacBook recognized it and immediately asked if I wanted to use it as a time machine backup. I clicked on yes and it reformatted quickly and flawlessly. Very reliable drive. Would highly recommend it.

The two delivery people were amazing. They took the time to take the doors off in order to get it in and were very professional overall. The hookup was simple and went without a hitch.

This is a required purchase when getting a refrigerator with an ice maker, or a dishwasher. Regardless, it’s a very good idea. It’s a very long supply line.

Love it!

Verified Purchase:Yes
So much room! Love the interior drawers, especially the wide “meat & cheese” drawer. Only wished that the veggie and fruit drawers would open when only one or the other doors is opened - but not a big deal. The slim profile ice maker is awesome. Makes cute little ices cubes and leaves a bunch of room in the main fridge. The water dispenser is a little slow, but it’s positioned to fit tall bottles which helps. The two-drawer freezer is also a great feature. All the stuff we access all the time is in the top and the stuff we don’t is in the bottom. No more digging for stuff. It’s incredibly quiet. We’ve had no issues after more than a month - we love it.

Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse: Easily use your computer for long periods of time with this trackball mouse, which allows you to precisely navigate features with minimal wrist movement. Enjoy lasting comfort thanks to the sculpted shape, which supports the curves of your hand.
 

is there a way to remove skin cells from ball contacts

Use a pen to pop the ball out of the socket from underneath the mouse then use a q-tip on the now exposed contacts. Should only take a few seconds. I do it about once a week myself.

One click of the wheel moves the matter about 10 lines. I am sure there most be a way to slow tis process down. How do I do it?

Are you using the Logitech mouse manager driver software? It has all kinds of customizations one of which is the number of lines to scroll.

Surround yourself with rich audio with this VIZIO SB3851-C0M 38" 5.1 soundbar system, which is an ideal complement for most 42"+ Class TVs. Rear satellite speakers and a wireless subwoofer help create 5.1-channel surround sound to immerse you in the action.
 

Can I hook my iPod directly to the Soundbar system, or will it require hooking my iPod to a separate receiver or amplifier before the Soundbar to play my music?

The soundbar can be put into pairing mode and it will show up on any device as a bluetooth device. I have my iPhone connected to it and as long as it's connected, all I have to do is hit play. Magic!

Subwofer placement? Can the subwofer be placed below the TV on the floor facing forward? OR must it be further back alongside or behind the seating area facing the TV? Thank You in advance..!

Subs are omni-directional so they can be placed anywhere. I've found they're best either in the corner or next to the couch.

i have a vizio 55" e series hdtv. i am trying out an LG soundbar with wireless subwoofer. it's ok, but i get no visual feedback from the tv. the vizio soundbar, will i get visual feedback on the tv about the volume? or is there feedback on the remote?

There are little white LEDS on the left side of the soundbar that let you know how loud it is. I have a Vizio TV and it doesn't show on the TV itself (so no numerical indication) but the LEDs are very bright and easy to see. The remote only shows Vol +/-. But, I use my Apple TV and TV remote to control the sound 99% of the time. Hope that helps!

Does this soundbar connect directly to the tv? What I mean is, can it hang from the tv itself(any Vizio model[newer of course]) without any additional hardware, or do you have to set it on a table/stand?

I have a Vizio TV too. To get it to hang from the TV you need a soundbar mounting kit (I got the Rocktfiesh kit - $35 I think).

What powers the Subwoofer? Does it plug into the wall, or does it have to be charged?

Wall plug. It's bluetooth wireless, but not battery-powered.

Does this unit play 4 k DVDs or does it just stream 4K ?

It is NOT a 4K disc player. It only converts and upstreams to 4K.
