This Microsoft Surface keyboard has full-sized keys for comfortable, accurate typing.

Great keyboard!

I like the compact keyboard for traveling, but with my Surface Pro docked at home, there's nothing like the convenience of this one! Nearly perfectly sized and easy to use, its like a Mac keyboard, but for the PC!!!
I wish it were a little cheaper, but sometimes you get what you pay for! And there's no dongle to worry about or otherwise consume a USB port.

A pretty good value

With a few uses under my belt, I have to say it does a pretty good job - it pops virtually all the kernels, and is pretty easy to clean. It takes longer to pop than the one that it replaced, but overall I'm happy with the results.

Convenient, but lacks the power of the plug-ins

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my third Dyson - its convenient to use, and great for picking up light dirt and vacuuming the car from dirt and sand - but its not as powerful as my plug in vacuums and doesn't do a great job with pet hair.
If I didn't have a dog, I'd say this might be good enough to be the only vacuum in the house, but I do, so something a bit more powerful is needed. This is great as a second / upstairs / garage vacuum, however.

Seems to work just as well as the Samsung ones, but at half the price! I didn't do any purity analysis, but subjectively, the water looks and tastes great!

Eases the pain of flying!
on September 2, 2016
Posted by: SoCalOCJoe
from SoCal
Verified Purchase:Yes
These certainly aren't convenient to run with, and I wouldn't want to get then sweaty, either, but on an airplane, they do a phenomenal job of cutting down the noise and make it so much nicer than other options.
Sound quality isn't the best for normal listening, but the noise cancellation more than makes up for that in loud settings.
I hope I never have to fly without them :)

Blazing fast - but its not small!

Posted by: SoCalOCJoe

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this during a flash sale - which took some of the bite out of the price tag. Its blazing fast, and rock solid so far...best printer I've ever owned. Setup was easy, been stable on Wifi, and makes crisp docs faster (usually) than I can walk upstairs to grab them.
But its big - I upsized from an 8620 and had to take a shelf out of my rack system to accommodate it. But it was worth it.
Can't comment on the number of pages it prints per ink cartridge, but it gets good reviews in that department so I suspect it will be fine.

A+ fit, B+ sound - overall a great purchase!

I've had better sounding BT headphones (Jaybird X2) but these stay in place so much better that I'm not going back. The sound is more than sufficient and doesn't lose its appeal even under heavy running stress or other physical activity. Best overall BT headphones I've owned! Warning - the charge cord is really short, but standard USB connectors if you prefer something else.

Great case, with some shortcomings
on February 26, 2016
Posted by: SoCalOCJoe
from SoCal
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, the case provides good 360 degree protection, and it's smaller than the others like tech21 or the otter box. Haven't tested it for waterproofness, and hopefully won't.
There are two big limitations - the charging cord hole doesn't fit any one I had other than the Apple original ones, so no go with my car lighter one, my Modal marching ant one, etc.
Second limitation - good luck plugging in headphones without the adapter. Doesnt fit my beloved Yurbuds. Bluetooth is great, not so on the plug ins.

The only comment I have is that the game came in a generic box - I was kind of hoping for an actual box but I got a clear box instead. The game, however, was in pristine condition and works great, which at the end of the day, is really all that matters.

Introducing wireless AirPods. Just take them out and they're ready to use with all your Apple devices¹. Put them in your ears and they connect instantly. Speak into them and your voice sounds clear. Simplicity and technology, together like never before. The result is completely magical.
 

How large are the pods in comparison to the Apple earbuds you receive with Apple devices? I picked up a generic pair of pods tand they were HUGE and didn't fit well in my ears. Apple earbuds are a great size for me, are these comparable in size?

I haven't measured them, but I think they are the same size as the corded ones that come with the most recent devices.

Hi, I have a 17.3 inch lenovo laptop which i bought from bestbuy. will it fit in this samsonite backpack? my lenovo specs are "(inches) : 16.45" x 11.51" x 0.99". Please confirm so i can buy this.

I'm thinking NOT - my Alienware is similar in width but shorter (15.25) and just barely fits. I think yours will be too long to fit in the intended compartment.

Does the bag have a Case-Base stabilizing platform which keeps the bag standing upright?

No, it doesn't.
