Very beautiful, no complaints except this is a stand-alone light, I guess there can begin to be a fine line between home-automation and hoarding of home-automation items...Give it ten years and we will start seeing something on A&E.

Adding this to a macbook pro in order to give iTunes some extra storage...not bad (this would be pretty awkward for retina models, 2012 and before it works fine, sticks out a tiny bit), read write is not bad 50/70

UE Roll Speaker: UE ROLL is the powerful, pint-sized wireless Bluetooth speaker that blasts unapologetically awesome 360-degree sound in every direction, everywhere you go.

Maybe I was expecting too much...or maybe the mini-boom was put to rest too early (couldn't the roll and mini co-exist in harmony Logitech)...the first disappointment came with the limited EQ settings, bass and regular, some of us still listen to classical music. The second came with the lack of volume. This was most noticeable when paired with a two year old boom that blasted it out of the water.
I do like the shape, form, factor, but not sure overall what to make of this thing.

Every now and then bb has these at a random low price (I think now it is because the Boom 2 is just around the corner)...whatever the reason, this speaker is a deal at any price below $180.00...a shame they cannot pair up the the mini-booms (those two made a sweet team).

I'm really a die hard fan of Incipio and STM but Speck has done a really good job with this case in terms of material, fit and finish. Finally, I feel like the price justifies the product.

I was actually a little excited about trying out this case, after reading so man reviews how could I not be....wow, was I let down. For over $50.00, I got a phone that made the priceless one touch ID feature on the iPhone worthless and didn't track right...returned it

This Sony TV sound system with built-in subwoofer provides an enriched-sound experience with an all-in-one sound box design. Bluetooth and NFC connectivity let you stream effortlessly to watch movies, TV shows and to play games. Play music from your phone or tablet on your TV with this Sony TV sound system.
Can you add rear speakers to this system? Thanks.
Yes, the small multi-colored H.ear Go are easily added. I think the xr7 would also work but they do not have a battery so placement can be limiting.

With a 250GB capacity, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E250B internal Serial ATA hard drive provides plenty of space for your digital media. TurboWrite technology delivers rapid read and write speeds for efficient performance.
works with mac books?
Does this work with in a MacBook Pro mid-2012?
it works, but not as fast as in a PC. Now, I found if you can get another SSD (any type, and you can even borrow one as you will only need it for about an hour) and use one of the HD clone programs (CC Cloner, etc.), the magic seems to be to clone your old HD to another SSD, thennnn, clone that SSD to your new (or whichever is the better SSD of the two) SSD, and then you can really see the SSD working in the IOS environment.

Is there proprietary software with this drive? My normal hard drive crashed, took all the software with it, now I have a SSD EVO850 250GB model MZ-74E250B, installed with no software.,
I'm not sure about your question but I'll give it a try...it does come with Samsung Magician and Data Migration (which works only you are transferring your old drive to a new Samsung ssd)...but it will only copy from a functioning hard drive (I think). You might have to try one of the partition programs which claim to be able to rescue data that has been erased and/or damaged). They have never worked for me so try out the freeware titles before spending your money on anything.

Enjoy flexible entertainment with this Samsung Notebook 7 Spin laptop. Its 360-degree rotating monitor converts into a tablet for touch-screen browsing or a tent or display for hands-free viewing. This fast-charging 13-inch Notebook 7 Spin laptop powers up as quickly as 20 minutes to add two hours of battery life for playing another HD movie.
Does anyone know if this laptop would be ideal for a 7th grader? She would mostly use this for research, homework and coding (for robotics class).
if you get one that is new (not an open-box), I think it would be a great fit. They are solid and the extra Samsung features would be great to enhance learning.
