I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!
on May 15, 2016
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
First off, I would like to commend Linksys on the ease of usage in setting up this product! At first glance with all the antennas, which make the product appear to be somewhat intimidating; however, they are needed in order to optimize the best coverage in your home. As a person who has multiple devices within my home and several are in usage at a time, I found this product to meet all of my Wi-Fi connectivity needs immensely. Sometimes, I use my IPad Air for writing purposes late into the wee morning hours and with my old Wi-Fi Router, which was issued through my Internet provider; I would receive a message that says, “WEAK INTERNET CONNECTION!” However, since using the Max-Stream AC5400, I have NOT received this message. I am sure the multiple antennas cover the dead spots, which have made my life much easier and efficient.

I received this keyboard today and it works just fine. The price is great for a keyboard of this size. Thus far, I don't have any complaints. I especially like the fact that there aren't any wires that have to be connected and the keys feel comfortable when typing. All one needs to do is plug and play!

If I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten the Lenovo, Yoga 2 10.1 tablet with the Windows environment because it has long battery life of at least 18 hours or longer.

Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
I purchased this tablet from Best Buy during their Black Friday sales. Honestly, I was a bit apprehensive because of all the negative reviews that I have read on various forums . Initially, I experienced the screen blackening out while watching TV shows, but this was due to the screen being set to "sleep mode" after 4 minutes. Upon changing the mode, the problem was solved.
I was disappointed and shocked to discover that Toshiba did not include a charger for this device. However, I was in luck, I have a Galaxy 4 cell phone that comes with a 2 amp charger and it charges the battery fine. Yes, it does take about 2 to 3 hours to FULLY charge, but it beats the heck out of charging to a PC! Toshiba should be embarrassed to have incorporated a USB charger instead of an adapter. I did purchase a 2 amp charger from here at Amazon for $2.50 and it charges the device fine. However, the biggest con is the battery life, which sucks!!!
Yes, I do experience internet disconnects from time to time, but not enough to conclude it's a major problem. Overall, the tablet works fine for me as a secondary device. I am an educator, who happens to be a tech "junkie!" I have a laptop, 2 in 1 (tablet/PC), chrome book, IPad mini, E-reader and this little device. Again, I highly recommend this device if a person is going to do small tasks such as web browsing, watching videos, checking Emails, etc.,

iPad mini features a beautiful 7.9" display, iSight® and FaceTime camera, the A5 chip, ultrafast wireless and up to 10 hours of battery life1. And over 275,000 apps2 on the App Store made for iPad work with iPad mini. So it's an iPad in every way, shape and slightly smaller form.

I purchased this item this past weekend because of the great sale price and the iconic Apple name. Needless to say, I am NOT disappointed! The product is easy to setup as well as use. Everything truly is great about this ipad. I will note, the battery life is so long until it's surreal.

This is a nice laptop/tablet combo

I purchased this product for the convenience and ease of usage. I am a college instructor that teaches both on-line and on campus classes; therefore, I needed a laptop that is portable and easy to use. Also, being that I have purchased Lenovo in the past and as a result, I received great performance from it convinced me to follow up and buy this product.
What's great about it: The ease of usage
What's not so great: It's kind of heavy in the hands when used as a tablet

I needed a basic keyboard since the one on my lap top stopped working. It worked fine for a few weeks. Having a problem now, It types Caps without putting on the Cap key, It skips spaces. Then the next day It will be fine for awhile and do the same thing again. Only paid $12.99 for it and that is just about what it is worth. I have had it over a month and as I said it was great for about 2 weeks.

I am surprised by the price you listed for the keyboard. I am in Birmingham, Al and the keyboard has been on sale here for only $6.99 for quite some time now.

iPad® Air is 20 percent thinner1 and weighs just one pound, so it feels unbelievably light in your hand. It comes with a 9.7-inch Retina display, the A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor, ultrafast wireless, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And over 475,000 apps in the App Store are just a tap away.3

By Hpandme
It's my fault for not reading the fine print but I now realize that this desktop does not have a CD/DVD Rom Drive. This is important to me since I do play games on my computer. It's smaller than the picture looks...about the size of a gallon of milk and I just got it , so I don't have any comments yet on the performance. The keyboard is compact too, wish it was wireless. Otherwise, a great buy.

HP Pavilion Wave
November 16, 2016
I have the same desktop; however, it is with the i3 processor. Yes, it does come with a keyboard and mouse which are both paired. As a result, all one needs to do is plug and play. The desktop comes with several ports if a person desires to use an external CD/DVD player, the unit can accommodate the need by using one of the USB ports. I have an extra keyboard (which is bigger) and mouse that I use along with the included keyboard and mouse. So, if the included keyboard and mouse are not to your satisfaction, there are several USB ports that can be used to accommodate something else.

You're going to be really happy with this printer. I purchased it 2 years ago and it hasn't given me a moment's trouble. Also, there are great 3rd party vendors that sell quality toner at great prices for this machine.

Listen to music hands-free with this LG wireless headset. It lets you answer or ignore a call with voice commands, and the wireless earbuds charge when they're resting inside the neckband, ensuring they're ready for use. The neckband of this LG wireless headset provides vibration alerts for incoming calls and texts, so you'll never miss a message.

I suggest downloading the app, Tone and Talk. I initially felt the way you're feeling until I tried the app which has bass levels and enhances sound. I have an Android phone; as a result I obtained the app out of the Google Play store. I hope this info helps!
