Love this watch!!!

I've used a Microsoft Band and Microsoft Band 2 since their release a couple years back, and both were and are fantastic products. However, I'd been missing wearing a genuine watch for a long time. I spent a lot of time researching this watch, along with several other Android Wear watches, and ultimately settled on the Huawei due to it's beautiful screen, and it does not disappoint! It IS beautiful to look at. And the built in faces are very attractive. My only real complaint with the watch is that, in my opinion, the built in vibrator is not strong enough; there are times I barely notice that it has gone off, and this is the only reason that I give it a 4 over a 5. But I'd definitely recommend it to someone looking for a beautiful, professional looking Android Wear device.

I LOVE my Nvidia Shield Pro! I have the 500G version, and have bought the separate remote as well. Streaming is flawless, and controller is super comfortable and snappy. My ONLY complaint is that I can't figure out how to download movies from Googe Play Movies (as a subscriber to Google Music / YouTube Red). To be fair, this may be a limit of Android TV specifically, and not the shield, but it would be nice to utilize the massive hard drive for storing purchased movies and TV shows. I can still play the movies, but they're always streamed. Outside of this, I highly recommend the Shield Pro!

A nice little fan for its indended use; to put a breeze on someone. Not the most powerful fan out there, but it runs on AA batteries. For its size, it's not bad.

Sound great, but a little tight

I picked these headphones up so that I could use Google Hangouts with work, as well as Skype with my personal contacts, and they work great! They sound awesome, and do a fairly decent job of not catching much ambient noise. Not perfect, but really good in my opinion for the cost. The only con I'd list is that they're on-the-ear headphones, and, as they're a little snug, they do make my ears hurt after wearing them for a while. Hopefully time will loosen them up a bit. All around great headphones, though.

Works pretty much how I'd expect it to. I can have devices in all ports, and have no slow down on any of them. A great little replicator.

I bought this to work with my Galaxy Tab 8.4 when my laptop went on the fritz so that I could keep working on my personal sites, check email, etc., and it worked wonderfully. It's compact, fairly rugged, and, at least for me, easy to type on.

Great story overall, but lacking in originality

The game is a great game from the standpoint of playability and story. Shay is a believable character with a grudge to pick. However, the Assassin's are made out to be somewhat darker in personality than in the past (not good or bad, just fact), and the game does feel rushed; it uses a LOT of the same resources as Black Flag, such as shanties, character models, etc.

My family and I loved this movie, and felt the immediate need to watch the 2nd afterwards (we hadn't seen this until after the 2nd came out), and they're both very well told. Not overly cheesy, but still a lot of fun. A great family movie, hands down!

Take your presentation to the next level with this wireless presenter that features a green laser pointer and intuitive slideshow controls for smooth navigation. The 2.4GHz wireless technology allows you to enjoy up to a 100' range, so you can move around the room and interact with your audience.
 

I have a word doc with 25 pages (not a powerpoint...a word doc that has 25 pages). Can I use the logitech device to stand away from my laptop and be able to click on the device to advance each page 1-25.

The remote registers as a keyboard, effectively, and issues Left and Right keystrokes. I can't test this, as I don't have Word installed, but since the Left and Right keys on your keyboard don't advance pages, the remote likely won't either.

Will this work on a TV screen? We don't use projectors and know that the red Targus pointer i have does not show on the TV screen.

I just tried it on mine. It shows up fine on whites and lighter colors, but seems to disappear over darker colors. The laser on this thing is very bright, so I'm assuming it's just something with the way the LED's reflect (or don't reflect) the light. I have a 1080p LCD TV, so I'm not sure how it would work on a 4k OLED/QLED TV. I'm guessing not much better, though.

ASUS C202SA Chromebook: Guide little ones through lessons with this ASUS Chromebook, which stands up to rugged use and occasional spills. A protective guard made of reinforced rubber protects it if it's dropped, and the 10-hour battery life lasts through the school day and homework time. This ASUS Chromebook also has an antiglare display, a 180-degree hinge and larger keys for easier typing.
 

Is this a good computer for typing up manuscripts, papers, etc?

I occasionally blog, and am a professional developer, and I personally find the keyboard to be very comfortable to type on. You'd have to go in to your local Best Buy or Microsoft Store and put your hands on it yourself, but if I had to make an educated guess, I think it would work fine for that! That being said, it's a spendy computer, so if that's ALL you're doing with it, you might go for a cheaper Surface Pro, or maybe even a different machine. The Surface Book is definitely a "premium" device. Just one guy's opinion, though. :)
