Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security for Apple
on June 24, 2017
Posted by: Bettina
from Salt Lake City
Verified Purchase:Yes
After ditching my Microsoft Windows machine finally for an iMac and an iPad Pro, I wasn’t sure what kind of anti-virus software I should get. The Best Buy folks recommended this product (good for 3 devices), and some of the official reviews for it are quite good (PCMag, etc). It has a small footprint and does not slow the machine down. I like that it is totally configurable, since I don’t want some of the features (like parental controls, saving of logins and passwords, or in-your-face extra clicks and steps). I’m still learning about it, and will probably still install a couple of free spyware/malware protection programs, maybe even ant-virus, even though this product does protect against all those things, since apparently the reviewers have a hard time comparing due to the unique mechanisms Webroot uses.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro delivers an unprecedented combination of portability and performance. At just 6.1mm thin and weighing less than a pound, iPad Pro features the brightest, most advanced Retina display ever with True Tone, advanced sensors that adjust the display to your environment for even more comfortable viewing. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 10 hours of battery life. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

iPadPro 9.7” 128GB, WiFi, Rose Gold

Verified Purchase:Yes
This iPad Pro and a new iMac are my first Apple products. I’m still having a bit of a hard time with the totally different concept of the iPad (not being a “real” computer in some ways, especially not being able to save files on it, and not being able to see the filesystem). But I love it in so many ways. When I want to look at email, Facebook, browse the internet, take notes, and use various apps, it’s a gem and quite convenient to use at home on the table, counter, in bed, or take with me on the road. I still have a lot to learn (and use!) on this little tablet, and I’m looking forward to it.

Finally, activity tracker that looks like a watch!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This Fitbit Charge 2 is my first real activity tracker, and I’m thrilled with it. It does really help to motivate me to get my 10,000+ steps a day. Heart rate and all the other features are great. The phrases it tells you when you first put your Fitbit on, and various other times, are cute but not obnoxious. I’m currently having a problem with the app, but I’m sure I’ll get that resolved soon. The biggest problem I have with my Fitbit is that it’s very hard if not impossible to read sometimes when you’re outside in the sun. Also I really wish the clock itself was configurable as to size.

Perfect keyboard/case for iPad Pro 9.7”
on June 24, 2017
Posted by: Bettina
from Salt Lake City
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Logitech keyboard/case is a perfectly durable and functional case for my new iPad Pro 9.7”. It’s cheaper and sturdier than the Apple version. I still love to use keyboards much of the time, so this is the perfect keyboard/case combo. The design of the keyboard, with it being all one piece, is remarkable. The keys look and feel like “real” keys, but in reality the entire keyboard pad is constructed in one piece, making it impossible to spill anything “into” the keyboard. Super easy to wash off. Apple Pencil holder is a plus.

With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 2TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.

I can't believe I waited so long!

After the latest Windows ransom-ware scare, I finally took the plunge and said good riddance to Microsoft and Windows (have been wanting to do this for years), and I’m *so* glad I did! I love my iMac 27” machine. I’m still learning a few things that I need to know, but there are tons of resources out there. I can’t believe I waited so long, and I’ll never go back.

Perfect companion to GIGASET-S820A DECT 6.0

Perfect companion to GIGASET-S820A DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System - Black. This is the expansion handset. I researched way too long before finally deciding on this phone. This is a higher quality than average phone, with all the basic features. Bluetooth is nice. Very low radiation in the ECO DECT mode is a huge plus, along with the energy savings. The voice quality is actually quite good, unlike most others.

Some designer knew what they were doing

After doing some research for a good but simple radio-alarm, this is what I picked, and I'm so glad I did. It is so much more than the standard radio-alarm that I have always had in my bedroom. Someone actually understood ergonomics, style, and functionality when they designed this. I love the wood and the small footprint, and I needed the antennae for better reception where I am (which is why I felt I needed a new radio alarm in the first place). Besides radio, it's great to have the USB and bluetooth options as well as charging capability. Dual alarms, display dimming, and gradual volume when the alarm goes off are all great features - it doesn't jolt me out of sleep. I really like that you can set the alarm volumes separately from the main listening volume. The audio quality is much better than cheap radio alarms, but not as good as some mini stereo systems (which typically aren't alarms).

Great in some ways, not in others - for me.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've only had my S6 for a couple of weeks and am still learning some things. It's my first real "smart"phone upgrade since many years now (had a Samsung Highlight previously). I'm so surprised that even when not using the phone, and many battery-consuming items are turned off (wi-fi, location, bluetooth, etc), that the battery gets drained so quickly! I can literally watch the battery % remaining get lower and lower as I'm watching and doing nothing! Do they all have to be charged every single day even when hardly used!? Or does mine have a defect? The screen seems overly sensitive (like I don't even touch something but it thinks I touched it), and there's no way to adjust the sensitivity (or so I've been told). The instruction leaflet it comes with is useless, and as far as I can tell there is no user manual for it anywhere. I'll try to review again later when I've had more time with it.

This Casio portable keyboard features a sampling function, so you can capture audio from a portable device for playback via the keyboard, adding stylistic flair to your compositions. MIDI support lets you connect the keyboard to a computer.
does this keyboard have weighted keys
No. The keys are not fully weighted as on an acoustic piano or more expensive portable keyboard (contrary to a few customer reviews I've seen). However, the keys are touch-sensitive, allowing for more dynamic playing than on some cheaper models, which I think should be a required feature.

Does this model come with a support for music?
It does come with just a very simple frame support for music. Kind of like an upside-down 'U' (but square corners), made out of metal maybe a bit thicker than clothes hanger wire. The 2 side ends stick into 2 holes on the top back of the keyboard. Maybe I'll search for something better sometime. But what it comes with has worked for me so far.
