Excellent Protection
on October 7, 2016
Posted by: DBAustin
Verified Purchase:Yes
I first purchased a wireless-keyboard-with-cover for my tablet, but the keyboard (with the stand that was integrated into that cover) was awkward for me and felt a little delicate or flimsy. I returned it and got the Griffin instead.
The Griffin Survivor has provided excellent protection and is perfect for my needs. It does not interfere in the use of the tablet in any way---the buttons remain easy to use, and the protective port covers open for recharging, etc. The Survivor has the familiar texture that is comparable to my Note 5 phone cover. I like the slightly rubbery texture around the edges.
I don't use the integrated stand much---the way I use the tablet does not require it to stand on its own. Also, the stand is only for landscape orientation.
I also like the way the Griffin Survivor has a personality---it turns my tablet into an attractive, rugged, I-can-go-anywhere-and-do-anything, piece of adventure gear. (Even though he mostly just hangs out on my leather sofa.)

PROS: Good sound quality for a wireless speaker, easily portable, sturdy (dropped once without any damage), easy-to-use buttons, easy to set up, battery recharges quickly.
CONS: Does not get loud enough for large spaces or outdoors.
This speaker is great for pairing with my tablet. I don't listen to music with my tablet.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this tablet to see if I could replace my laptop with a tablet. I discovered that a tablet cannot replace a laptop for my particular needs.
(I did get a keyboard accessory. I found the tablet + keyboard configuration unwieldy. I returned the keyboard.)
I need a laptop for heavy writing, research, and document use. I need to have multiple windows open at the same time. This tablet cannot do that.
But though the tablet has not replaced my laptop, the tablet is great for what it does do. I use it primarily for entertainment. I have an Invisible Shield screen protector, a Griffin Survivor cover, and a Bose Color Soundlink speaker. This is the perfect configuration for me.

Not a Marble Mouse replacement
on September 30, 2016
Posted by: DBAustin
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really want a Logitech Marble Mouse that is wireless. I have used a Marble Mouse (wired) for years and years, left-handed. I got this Trackball hoping I could manage it with my left hand. It cannot be easily used as a left-handed mouse. I'm using it right-handed. It does ok but given my particular situation is less useful for my needs.

Not powerful but ok
on September 30, 2016
Posted by: DBAustin
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am used to much more powerful laptops. I bought this as an inexpensive laptop primarily for writing in Word documents and browsing the Internet, to supplement other tech gear. No gaming, no videos. Even so, it moves slowly---painfully slowly sometimes. Given the price, it does an ok job. But I will stick to buying better laptops in the future.

A Good Production

This was a good production of Shakespeare. Ethan Hawke does a good job, though his Hamlet was a better performance.

A great update of the Terminator saga.
on January 13, 2016
Posted by: DBAustin
Verified Purchase:Yes
The recurring Terminator tale of trying to save John Connor to lead a future resistance takes a fresh and unexpected turn. The actors playing John Connor and Sarah Connor are ok. It is great to see Arnold in his old-but-renewed role. The effects are excellent.

Reinforced and angled connector is a good design.
on July 7, 2015
Posted by: DBAustin
Verified Purchase:Yes
The cord at the connector that plugs into the laptop has a 90-degree angle, which reduces accidental disconnection of the power cord. The original power cord for the laptop (Toshiba) did not have that design, so the old cord would easily disconnect without my knowledge. That depleted the battery at inconvenient times, until I learned to check the connection periodically.
The angle also reduces wear on the cord near the connector, and the angle is encased in a protective housing. I had to replace the old cord because that spot was badly worn, exposing copper, even though my laptop isn't very old.
So the simple angle design with reinforced housing at the vulnerable end of the power cord is a very effective improvement and shows attention to user needs.

Is the red track ball (from a wired mouse) interchangeable with the blue track ball (from a wireless mouse) ? I own wired mouse and LOVE it, I'm considering going to a wireless version, Also does the change in ball position make a big difference?
I love my Marble Mouse (red ball) and have used it for many, many years, at work.
I don't know if the balls are interchangeable. The Trackball I got about a month ago is for home use.
The change of position for the ball makes a huge difference---the Trackball is a completely different mouse. I suspect that for all who are used to the Marble Mouse, this Trackball will be disappointing. I still use the Trackball, because I need a wireless mouse at home. But I don't at all have anywhere near the maneuverability that I have with the Marble Mouse. Which means the Trackball gives me none of the pleasure that I get from the Marble Mouse.
