I have used Photoshop elements for a few years now and have been very happy with the product throughout that time. The new updated version has some nice features for video editing, I'm not a power user, but I was very happy with the video in text feature.

This is a stylus, a really nice stylus with some extra features, but essentially just a stylus. It is designed to lay flat, you can adjust line width; how well depends on the app that you are using it with. Battery life is as advertised.
I'd give it 5 stars, but the advertising makes it look cooler than what it really is. It's still you drawing that picture or painting it in, it just makes doing that easier. I'd say it's better used for productivity than creativity (in my case at least) and does make markups easier on documents.
If your old enough to remember having to use a pen to compose and correct you work, then this will make some tasks on the tablet more comfortable.

Prepare a variety of meals faster with this nonstick Ninja cooker.

This 1000W Ninja cooker holds up to 6 quarts and includes a stainless steel rack for steaming.

We had heard of instant pots and pressure cookers, but neither my wife or myself had ever used one. The Ninja Instant Cooker is pretty nice. 6-Quart size is great for preparing a meal with friends.
Instructions were easy, recipes were limited in the booklet but are everywhere online.
Setup was standard for things these days, - pull it out of box, clean it, assemble, follow directions, eat. I think for 'starter' pressure cooker it's a good deal and for a couple, I expect it will last for years.

My wife runs a home business and we recently moved, so you can imagine the amount of paperwork that needs to be scanned in, correlated, converted to PDF, etc.
This scanner was easy to set up and use, the menu is intuitive and it is small enough that we didn't have to build a shelf or buy a new desk to have it nearby.
If you are scanning loose paper into longer documents or work with contracts and invoices, this is a great choice.

The headphones are adjustable and fit well on my head (I've got a big noggin) and the sound is very solid - good noise cancelling. I wore them for a couple hours straight and could hardly tell they were there. Very satisfied with these.

I have a few BT speakers and I'd have to say this is the best sound I've heard in a while. The physical speaker size is a bit larger than my Sony SRS, but it is easy to pack and carry. Battery life is awesome and I had no issues with drain down while not in use.

I am using this monitor as a second monitor for my gaming computer. Both of the monitors are Free Sync and it is awesome to have them side by side.
Very attractive, so sleek it almost seems fragile, but have no complaints at all. I highly recommend.

The Chromebook setup was easy, it starts up super fast every time, and the battery lasts all day. Portable drive(s) worked well and data transfer times were good through USB. The padded case was a nice plus and has enough room for the cords and power adapter.
Changing from tablet to laptop mode was no problem and the screen is very responsive to touch and to the stylus. In 'tent' mode, the Chromebook is stable and the sound is good.
I am very happy with this device!

Awesome retro photo experience
on June 12, 2018
Posted by: RacineTechie

The design and feel of the camera is just about exactly like the old models I used in the 70s/80s -I'm old(er) and this camera made me feel like a kid again. It worked like a charm and in minutes we had shot our first snapshot and were hooked.
We used it at a yard party and parade and looking at the photos was hilarious. Seeing them in this format again for the first time in years, they instantly looked like "old photos" from an album.
I think it is also interesting for younger people and kids to see what it was like in the old days - our nieces both have the pic-300s now and get a kick out of them. Buying film with their allowance is also teaching them about the value of money and how they spend it. The film isn't cheap, so they have to pick their shots carefully.

Cool candid shots if you can locate it well

The setup and instructions were easy and both the photo quality and the battery life are nice as well. The only issue I've had is when we try to use it to capture images of our pet, I've had to set up a makeshift stand on a shelf to get the camera lined up and out of reach of the critter.
There are some after market stands and tripods available, but for the cost of the camera, it is a shame that something didn't come right along with it which gave you a few inches of travel (and allowed for a bit of an angle adjustment) so you didn't have to resort to stacks of books on a random spot. Otherwise, awesome.

Do the sides of the toaster get hot to the touch when in use??
Not that we noticed, but we only make 4 slices at breakfast and don't go for dark/burnt toast.
I expect if you like your toast dark and are making a lot of it, it may get a bit warm, fortunately, stainless tends to shed heat fairly quickly anyway.
