Bought this for my new Macbook Pro Retina. At first I was a little wary that the new Retina Pro might be too thin and jiggle around abit because it's built for the regular Pros. Thankfully it fits perfect, sure it could be a touch more snug but it's an awesome case all around. A little pricy but if you're going to protect $2k+ worth of goods might as well spend extra to really take care of it. Doesn't hurt that it looks really slick as well. No fear of banging the bag around. Solid.

Great Protection for iPhone 6, Not Bulky, Touchscr
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: boma
from weston, FL
Last month I dropped my iPhone 6 in a puddle. I had the phone in a basic silicone rubber case (to protect against drops), but that case didn't protect it at all from water damage. I tried the rice trick for 3 days, to no avail. So I ended up taking the phone in to an Apple Store. They were also unable to revive my phone, so ended up giving me a new phone as part of their $300 repair service. After being without my phone for a week, plus being $300 lighter in the wallet, I vowed to protect my phone better. After doing lots of research, all roads led to the LifeProof Fre case, so I ordered it from Amazon. I had seen other people with LifeProof and OtterBox cases that seemed huge and clunky, and I was expecting that my new LifeProof Fre Case for iPhone 6 would be huge and clunky, too. I had also read that some LifeProof case users had difficulty using the fingerprint reader, or swiping up from the bottom of the display, or had other touch-related problems. But I had also read that it is critical to follow the installation instructions closely, including removing any screen protectors from the phone's display.

This Insignia™ NS-PD06502 6' cable connects your computer's DisplayPort to an HDMI type-A input and supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution for crisp images.

Somehow when I was ordering my laptop online I accidentally clicked Display Port instead of HDMI for the high definition interface. Boy was I bummed. I was actually very glad to see this cord available for me to use. I purchased it and it has worked like a breeze. It not only transmits the high definition signal but also the audio as well. It has worked great for my needs. To date, I have only used on a 32 inch TV. When I finally get home I will be able to use it on my 55 inch screen and see how well it does on that.

The affordable QUALITY 4K monitor we've been waiti
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: boma
from weston, FL
This is the 4K monitor I have been waiting for. Affordable and quality. Be aware, there's 3 types of the monitor: one with a Sliver stand and white back, one with a black stand and black back (this one), and one with a black stand that pivots and rotates with a black back (the other two versions are sold on other sites, not Amazon).
I've been searching for a true 4K monitor that suits my needs (I'm a video production solo gig) and this monitor is it. I have the 2013 Mac Pro since it was released and have been using the Dell P2815Q monitor (a overly priced half-baked TN panel 4K monitor), this monitor is light years ahead of quality, viewing angles, overall color, and brightness compared to that Dell. This feels like a $1000 monitor for half the price. Now since Apple first showcased the Mac Pro, they said you can run 3 4K monitors and I've searching for the right monitor that I can do with for a low price without sacrificing quality. This monitor is my answer. Currently I have 1, but soon my dream of having that infinitely famous triple monitor setup will happen with this.
Also fun fact: 3 of these monitors equals the price of Dell's 5K monitor... Now which one would you really choose? I know.
Look here's the bottom line: If you've been looking for an quality IPS 4K monitor with accurate color, great brightness, thin bezels (man there thin), and for a low price, you've found the answer.
I'll update this review in a few months after using the monitor for a while.

Store plenty of files on this Seagate Backup Plus STDR4000100 portable hard drive, which features a 4TB capacity that offers space for pictures, documents and more. The included Seagate Dashboard software lets you automatically back up files.

- it's fast (higher capacity tends to do that for mechanical drives),
- the build quality is good, the bottom and sides are plastic (matte on the bottom, glossy on its sides), the top is metal (or something that looks and feels like it), and it doesn't cracks when you hold it more tightly.
- it is small but you can still use the drive that's encased for other purposes (replace it, use it in a laptop, etc). Although this voids the warranty, you can't do this with WD Passport drives (the mini usb connector is soldered to the drive, it doesn't have standard sata connectors)
-the cable is short, this can be a plus or a minus, depending on preferences...
-the white LED is pretty and pulsates slowly when there's activity.
-it's silent.

Worth it but hoping it gets better
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: boma
from weston, FL
I have been debating whether or not to give this 4 or 5 stars. I ultimately settled on giving it 4. I am hoping it eventually deserves 5, I just bought my third one because I see the potential and think all it will take is some firmware and cloud service upgrades to get it there. It is a pretty good unit but could still use a little work...
The Hardware
The overall look and feel is nothing special, I could take it or leave it. The camera is heavier than I expected (which is good) and it still worked after it slipped out of my hands and fell 4 feet to my hardwood floor (that's good too). The internal battery and SD card is nice - that right there is why I am buying more of these and not more Dropcams.

Frustrating download problems ultimately easy to f
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: boma
from weston, FL
Product is top quality but I have some grudges against Microsoft for the following: 1) Can be used on only one computer. 2) This is just a paper card with the product code. You have to download the product from office.com. 3) Can't purchase a second licence as you have to purchase another download at full price. 4) Does not have all the features as office 365. 5) Microsoft is PUSHING their customers to office 365 so they can charge you a yearly fee. Not cool

The best multi port hub that I have seen

Posted by: boma
from weston, FL
I travel often and need to take a portable office with me. As a professional presenter and it seems like I am always making changes to my presentations right up to the last minute. I bought a mini hub similar to this one because I got tired of working with a limited number of USB ports on my travel computer.

Good entry level gaming system but it has its limi
on October 21, 2016

So far my DB52 has worked great for my everyday tasks, but I haven't tried hardcore gaming yet so will have to see. Though I also have replaced the hard drive with a solid state drive and switched from Windows 10 Home to Windows 8.1 Pro ( All but 2 drivers were on the Asus G11CD support website part of its Windows 10 64 bit downloads. The Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN was found on another manufactures website and Intel Management Engine Interface was installed by searching the Windows 10 Home hard drive before I wiped it clean and made it into a data drive ).
Overall there are some future upgrade speed limitations that this system just can't over come ( H110 chipset vs H170 vs Z170 ). Making this systems potential high end gaming days more limited, but on sale for under $700 you can't easily build a better Intel Skylake system yourself currently.

I have owned now 7 Harmony remotes including two Harmony Ultimate Home remotes and this new upgrade takes the cake as the best they have come out with yet. First off you can easily transfer all your old Harmony remote info from your old remote easily with this new update. Plus now using the Harmony app on iOS, it makes it even easier. This new remote integrates all your home devices on the buttons including lights etc plus it also moved the Play and fast forward buttons to the middle of the remote due to the fact this was a major flaw on the last two remotes that have been released. It keeps all the major features intact that Logitech is famous for and works with every single device you can think of including Smart Things, Sonos, Rocketfish and Roku and Apple TV. You cannot go wrong with Harmony remotes and although the price tag is high it is worth every penny!
