Secure your 12.9-inch iPad Pro from scratches with this Logitech Slim Folio Pro case. The included keyboard features backlit keys for easy typing in the dark, while a built-in stand enables comfortable hands-free viewing. This Logitech Slim Folio Pro case features an Apple Pencil holder so it's easy to access.

This keyboard case has a few great features that I absolutely love but it comes with a few drawbacks. First the good stuff. It’s a solid keyboard. Backlit keys make night typing really easy and the keys themselves are responsive and comfortable. The case has rubber bumper-style edges for rough travel (though I wouldn’t recommend dropping it to test its durability)it has all the keys that a apple computer would, essentially making your iPad more similar to a MacBook. The shortcut keys also help when needing to quickly search for something or to get back to your home screen. It also has a slot for your Apple Pencil if you sprung for one (though while in the holder I noticed it doesn’t charge).
A few of the downsides. The battery key only gives you a light when pressed not really telling you how much charge the case has left and it doesn’t register as a traditional Bluetooth item in the battery widget so you cannot see how much charge is left. However I will say that it holds a charge rather well seeing I have yet to charge it since I received it (which has been over a week with moderate usage). I noticed that on the packaging it boasted a slightly raised tablet mode for comfortable drawing or writing with the Apple Pencil, no matter what I tried I couldn’t get this to do it without it feeling awkward and not quite right. Also it’s awfully bulky. Expect it to at least double the weight and thickness of your iPad.
Overall, if you want your iPad to function more like a laptop hybrid, then this case may be just what you’re looking for.

Very basic at first glance but turtle beach has yet to disappoint with this wallet friendly addition to their lineup of fantastic gaming headsets. The quality of the sound is excellent, and the ear pieces are large enough to fit my big ears and comfortable enough to be worn for longer periods of time. Flipping the mic up for mute is a nice touch instead of hunting on the wire for a button or switch. The volume wasn’t initially findable. But once I noticed it was on the back of the earpiece on the mic side, I got used to and even appreciated its positioning. And while I initially purchased these for my PS4 Pro, I was delighted to find that they worked interchangeably with my Xbox one X.

Create hot, eye-opening cups of java with this Ninja coffee brewer. Its 60-oz. removable reservoir allows easy filling at the sink, and the Thermal Flavor Extraction technology ensures every batch is flavorful and never bitter. This Ninja coffee brewer has a Mid-Brew pause button that lets you snag a cup before the batch is complete.

Without all the bells and whistles of other more expensive Ninja coffee makers, this little wonder still holds its own in the most important aspect: making a great cup of coffee. The small batch function along with the cup by cup scoop allows one to make a few cups for a quick couple cups without suffering the awkward “how much is too much” trial and error coffee making.

This small but effective hard drive will add a ton of space to your dwindling ps 4 on board memory for a ton of added games that you can quickly access and take with you if you need be. Connecting it is about as easy as it gets and formatting takes seconds. It’s extremely low profile and will not take up much space next to your existing unit.

As chrome books go this one is ALMOST top notch(I’ll get to my con in a minute). The physical look and feel of the computer are very sleek and are representative of computers that cost much more. The port position and availability are what you would expect from a computer of this caliber and portability.
I was initially concerned with the idea of a Celeron processor, having had them before and had lackluster results from their use in past computers. However due to the low processing need by the computers simple yet intuitive chrome UI, the Celeron handles everything—except the higher end graphic intensive games—with ease(those games still run mind you but have minor hang ups at times due to the heavy work load).
The touch screen is super nice makes a good alternative to a traditional mouse when it come to clicking on buttons or choosing drop-down menus. Having the Google Play store available for all your app needs is crazy convenient, however keep in mind that the programs that this computer mainly runs are the tablet versions of their PC counterparts. This is both a blessing and a curse, depending on what you’re most accustomed to utilizing. I don’t know if I’d recommend flipping the computer into full tablet mode due to the keyboard being on the back but using the computer in tent mode to watch shows or movies on Netflix or YouTube is quite a plus.
One thing of note and the main reason this computer does not get 5 stars is I noticed that it does run a bit warm when on for a time (over 30 minutes) this is not typical with computers (in my experience) that have flash memory as opposed to HDD(which DO traditionally run much warmer).This does not take away from all the other pluses I’ve mentioned previously however and if you are using it anywhere other than on your lap for long periods of time you may not notice it at all.
Lastly the battery life. When in moderate use daily and with proper powering down of the computer when not in use, I found the batter lasted me almost a week without needing to be plugged in. This is with about 2 hours of daily use. Any more than that (or heavier programs) might reduce the battery life but for all intents and purposes I found it to be adequate for my computing needs.

I come from a rabid apple fanbase. Having used air pods I have to admit that these while tethered together have a far superior sound quality and durability. I’m not a huge fan of having a wire between the two considering that the trend is now completely tether free but these make up for in sound quality and water resistance.

A true Star Wars experience. This game allows you to play as your favorite characters and the campaign while short has all the feeling of a real Star Wars movie complete with references and tie ins to the actual movies. This game is top notch and the fact that EA listened to it’s danbase and made all the future updates free makes this a game that is hard to pass up!

Better products on the market
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: ObiRob
from Syracuse, ny
This fitness tracker is sub par. Upon opening it it looked good. But from the moment I put it on I realized that this was going to be a struggle to use. First the back lighting is bad. And the screen is tough to see. Next all the calculations are in metric and you need to download the app to change any of it. Lastly and most importantly the inaccuracies of the tracker itself are enormous. I had over 10k steps by noon on the first day: sitting at a desk! Apparently any movement of the arm will register steps. That was the straw that broke the camels back. If that can be so inaccurate I cannot expect any other aspect of this tracker to be accurate whatsoever. For the price of this tracker there are plenty of other alternative ones on the market that do a much better job. I would recommend trying out another option, and passing on this one.

Awesome sound but wireless is a stretch

Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing gives great sound. For how small it is it’s amazing. But there are still plenty of wires to plug in so it’s not truly “wireless”. Also I’m a little concerned about the lack of covering for the actual speakers. I have to keep the bar back away from “little hands” so as not to break the speakers.

Black is not black.
on February 1, 2018
Posted by: ObiRob
from Syracuse, ny
Verified Purchase:Yes
I preface this with the fact that I own Apple TV 4K. And the very few things that are offered in 4K do look spectacular. And while this tv does have a very nice screen, I find that the black ratio is really really bad. You either get really washed out grey black or your picture is shadowy. At times when I have a black screen (like going between programs or inputs) the backlighting is not consistent. And NO it’s not because of the “smart” LED dimming. It’s definitely something inherently broken with the backlighting itself. Luckily i purchased the geek squad protection and will be making a call to them to see if it may be fixed. But for the price I’d tell people to stay away from this product and shell out the extra money for an OLED unit instead.

Now that the series S is announced will these work for the series S as well?
I would like to say with certainty that yes they will. The fact that they mention the series X is merely to afford you the piece of mind that they are somewhat future proof.

Pixelbook Go is the Chromebook that goes anywhere, then keeps going. It's barely 2 pounds* and just 13mm thin. So whether you're collaborating on a Google Doc in a cafe, catching up on emails during a flight, or watching movies while on vacation, you can do more on the go.*Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
Does this include wireless Bluetooth connection?
It does have Bluetooth and connecting things like mice and such is only a couple taps and a few seconds of waiting!

Does this Chromebook come with stable android apps ? Can you get to facebook, words with friendss etc.?
It does facilitate the google play store and runs very much like a tablet. The apps are mostly quick and responsive. Some of the higher work load ones tend to be just a hair laggy but for the most part it’s a nice efficient laptop.

One picture shows a stylus but text does not mention it. Does the stylus come standard with it, and, if so, does the stylus have its own stow away slot?
Why yes it does come with its own stylus! Which was a real treat (having purchased other computers that said they did and then didn’t) it’s non capacitive which means you don’t need a battery for it. (Another bonus)

Can you download google play store? I read yes on internet? Thanks
The store itself is pre installed. In fact that is where most of the apps for this computer will come from, I just downloaded Minecraft. It’s awesome.

Can it handle editing software
I’m not sure what kind of editing software you are referencing but in my experience in music production and some graphic arts I found that overall celeron processors are not the work horse of the serious artist. This computer is mainly about portability and entertainment. It will run games and movies but if you are looking for something that will have the processing capabilities of a pro, I would recommend something with a Core i5 or better.
