Not bad

Definitely not on the caliber of an IPS display. So, you really need to have the viewing angle perfect for it to work for you. Color saturation is a little hard to adjust to emulate what your laptop is rendering. All in all, not bad for the price.

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.

Prefer the typing experience on this more than I do my 13" Macbook Pro Retina (MPXT2LL). Good machine for portability.

Does the job

Verified Purchase:Yes
The IR receiver went out on my 2yr old 70" Samsung Smart TV so I decided to pick this up as a temporary replacement while I wait for the part. Does the job. Love the UI. The only thing I do not care for is the ads. I asked Amazon if there was a way to pay a fee like you would for a Kindle device to remove them, and thus, you cannot. Other than that, not bad.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Grabbed this along with my iPad Pro 12.9 256GB. Definitely a necessity if you are going to be doing document edits and illustrations. I think the price point is a tad high, but you are getting what you pay for.

These are definitely comfortable. I have always preferred in ear headphones. Sound quality and bass are amazing. Definitely on par with Apple's. The only real drawback in the mic for those on the other end. Sound is often distorted. However, that is the case with most.

Exceeds expectations
on February 17, 2018
Posted by: Mdowning
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little wary, initially, with purchasing this. I was on the fence for a couple of reasons. One of them being the significant cost. However, after using it for a couple of weeks I can see that it is definitely an alternative to a Macbook. Keep in mind, you are limited to iOS' ecosystem.
The form factor and build quality are great. If you really want to drive it's full potential, definitely splurge on an Apple Pencil and keyboard case. I ended up going with the Logitech Create.

I'm so happy Apple decided to lower their price point of their entry level full sized iPad with a retina display. Especially considering all of the Android competition out there.

Not bad for a basic tablet. One huge caveat, tho..
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: Mdowning
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this mainly for the on board storage. At 32GB, can't really beat it for the price. However, there is a huge caveat. It doesn't pick up 5GHz WiFi bands. Sadly, my internal home and work network is all 5GHz, rightfully so. With that said, please beware of this. It will only operate on 2.4GHz frequency networks.
Aside from that. Not a bad display for a budget laptop. I'd definitely buy it again if I was on a crunch. But for now, I will most likely just stick with my iPad Air 2.

Durable, lightweight aluminum cases in silver, space gray, gold, and rose gold. Sport Band in a variety of colors. All the features of the original Apple Watch, plus a new dual-core processor for faster performance. All models run watchOS 3. Requires an iPhone 5 or later.

I just bought this monitor to go with my 2016 MacBook Pro but can't get it to connect. I've selected HDMI but won't connect through my Apple adapter. Anyone have any luck with this?

Are you using an HDMI to HDMI cable? Try using a display port to mini display port cable. That should work.

looking for a screen to watch camera digital pictures on

This will definitely suit your needs. Ample space for downloading content to it, too. Even though the resolution is a bit on the lower side, the quality is there, for sure.

If I connect it to my home MAC, can i download/upload any pictures I take with this tablet onto the MAC? Or, because they're different operating systems will I not be able to?

You should be good. It will be read just like any other USB drive.
