Breathed new life into a 2009 MacBook Pro
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: EngineeringType
Verified Purchase:Yes
Before this upgrade (from the factory spinning HDD to this SSD) this aging MacBook Pro seemed to take forever to cold boot or open applications. For all practical purposes, it now boots and opens applications in a fashion comparable to our late 2013 MacBook Pro with factory SSD. Like having a new laptop for well less than $100. The physical swap itself could have probably been accomplished in less than 15 minutes. Following procedures from Apple's on-line help and utilizing this machine BEFORE the physical swap, I created an external OSX boot system on a USB drive I had laying around, and also had a current Time Machine backup of the entire HDD to our external backup drive. After installing the new SSD, I booted the machine from the external OSX drive, then Restored the entire Time Machine backup to that SSD. Worked like a charm, just took a while to get all the software stuff done. I've since upgraded the ram from 2 to 8GB to benefit some applications (ram was an easy upgrade in this machine, requiring NO software manipulation), but the ram upgrade did not appear to further improve the boot and load times themselves. Very happy with this SSD.

Three Magic Mouse 2 owners in our family
on December 3, 2016
Posted by: EngineeringType
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was pleased with my wife's Magic Mouse 2, so purchased one for myself (to replace my original Magic Mouse that depleted AA batteries rather quickly). We both like the click action, the usefulness of the multi-touch surface, and the charge duration of the permanent built-in battery. As other reviews have mentioned, it has a somewhat "flatter" form compared to mice from other manufacturers, so doesn't "snug into" your hand like most others, but that isn't an issue for either of us. This purchase was for a third Magic Mouse 2 for another family member.

Picked up this 8-pack of Energizer batteries while shopping for something else at Best Buy. They were fine.

Was what I was looking for in a wireless router. Easily set up within a few minutes, and has been communicating at ISP contracted speeds ever since. Price was right.

The Smart Cover for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front of your device. The Smart Cover automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. It folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, typing, or watching videos. And it’s easy to remove, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

Nice appearance and feel when used with Apple's matching silicone back cover. Affords the screen some level of protection, which is what I was after. Three concerns/complaints: ribs in cover leave vertical marks on the screen, wonder if thin rubbery hinge will hold up over time (as opposed to the older style metal hinge), steep cost for what it is.

The Silicone Case for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro protects the back of your device and is designed to pair seamlessly with the Smart Cover for full front-and-back coverage. The smooth silicone material feels great in your hand and protects your iPad Pro while maintaining its sleek, beautiful design.

Purchased to provide a surer grip on the otherwise somewhat slippery bare metal iPad body. Likely offers little protection if actually dropped, but this tactile silicone back cover makes drops less likely. Feels good when handling, is attractive, and adds very little to the iPad's overall size. The three slightly raised button areas molded into the case allow button presses about as easily as if no cover was installed, output from the four speakers isn't reduced, and access to the charging and earphone jack isn't restricted. Although it fits the iPad quite snugly, it can be removed/installed easily if desired. I was at first concerned that small trash/crumbs would stick to the cover, but that hasn't been a problem, and it still looks "like new" after weeks of use. Gave only 4 stars due to price being a bit too much for what it is in my opinion. Using with the Apple Smart Cover, which makes for a nice overall package, but is additional cost.

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.*

Worthwhile upgrade from an iPad2
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: EngineeringType
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not yet ready to give up my MacBook Pro, so initially was difficult justification to spend the money for a 128GB iPad Pro 9.7 to replace my old 64GB iPad2, but now very pleased that I did. The speed when browsing the web, updating apps, loading apps, etc. makes that old iPad2 seem a relic by comparison. Small font text is amazingly crisp, and the less reflective display is great. I've used Split View to work with two apps simultaneously, and find it to be easily accessed, practical, useful. Four speaker system sounds good. Weight and size feels good when handling (in Apple's $69 silicone case accessory). Hoping that available apps will continue to mature in future (e.g., MS Office for iOS include more features available in laptop OS versions). If you want an iPad Pro 9.7 and can afford it, I feel it is a good purchase.
