Great low-cost way to speed up your PC
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I've been pleased with SanDisk products (i use their SSDs and SD cards--the professional versions, Extreme Plus/Pro for SD cards and the Ultra II's for the SSDs). They are reliable, but probably not as fast as the more expensive options (like samsung). But you do get good value for what you pay for and for the most part, for general computing, and light gaming, they are fine.

Good low-cost solution
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall a good low cost solution. The only thing is that this mount canot turn side-to-side, only tilt up and down. Installation instructions are a bit confusing for some, as they just give you a pattern to work with, no actual manual explaining it step-by-step so if you're one of the "do by seeing" (ie. you need visuals to guide you) this may be harder to install.

Gets the job done
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Relatively in-expensive and lets you use an HDMI cable on your laptop or other device that only outputs to DisplayPort. The only issue with these cables (in general, not this specific brand) is that the wiring fatigues over time if you use it a lot (like on a daily basis you are connecting/disconnecting it) and it looses signal, but for the price, if you had to replace it every year, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Good TV for the money
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good TV for the money (ie. cheap). We are using it as a display for presentations (ie. static text) so it's fine for that. My only complaint is that it for some reason does not fill the screen completely at 1920x1080. Could be the video card, but it's either the edges of the Windows desktop run off the edge of the screen or I have to run a lower resolution where there are black bars on the sides due to a reduced resolution (I'm using an HDMI cable and a card that supports 1080).

Does what it should
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the most part, does what it should, however please note that gold plated cables (below 25 ft) doesn't matter (gold plated or not). Gold plating does help with transmission over longer distances, but I don't think you'll see a difference at or under 25 ft as the insulation around the wiring is the important part. Since that's the case, buy a decent (but not super expensive) cable, and save some money.

A decent upgrade from the XT10
on May 3, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
This camera is a very welcomed upgrade from the XT10, and now offers a true 24MP APS-C camera, making it ideal for much more subject matter (landscapes, portraits, nature, etc). I would recommend this to someone who is maybe starting out in photography. The build quality and image quality produced by this body exceeds the Sony a600/6300 in my opinion and is probably on par with the a6500. Nice and compact, and light, it makes a great travel camera as well. Fuji glass (lenses) are a bit more expensive than the competition, but their glass is also better quality in my opinion, optically and build quality.

Capture precious moments in high resolution with this Fujifilm digital camera. Its 24.3-megapixel image sensor delivers professional quality and sharpness, while its internal UHD 4K video recorder captures fine details. The focus lever moves in five directions for accurate focusing, and the large grip, locking dials and raised buttons make operating this Fujifilm digital camera simple..

Simply one of the best from Fuji
on May 3, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
The X-T2 is perhaps one of the top cameras from Fuji. It's about the same weight as a small DSLR, but provides great image quality. It is a bit more pricey than the Sony options but it's well worth the price. The glass (lenses) are also more pricey, but they offer better image quality in general than the competition. The dials on the top may be a bit confusing at first, especially for newbie photographers, so this is best suited for hobbyists and pros who know the basics of photography (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc) and/or those who are familiar with old film SLR cameras. It does have an auto mode as well for those who want to "grow" into their camera.

Does what it should, inexpensive for what you get
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, this drive does what it should. It's fairly inexpensive considering it gives you 256GB of storage. However, I have a few of these and noticed that they rarely actually ever write at full USB 3.0 speeds (which I would say 100MB/s is good, but these in my experience only write around 50MB/s, still fast enough, but if you have a lot of data to move around, it can take some time. REad speeds are still good, though, 100MB/s or more. I'm quite sure this limitation is not my computer, as I've experienced this on a few machines with various drives of this model, so I'm thinking that perhaps they advertised only the read speed and the write speed is not quite what it seems (which is how companies generally advertise storage media anyway--they boast about the read speed, but the write speed is generally 50% less). Regardless, I'd still recommend this as I've never had a problem with a SanDisk drive going bad (yet).

Good value for the price
on March 27, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you don't need the largest or fastest Ipad, this is a good alternative. Despite being 3 years old, it's still quite useful for those who just want to read books, browse the web or do email. Probably not the best if you want to play some of the newer games, but it is good for basic tasks. I would recommend the largest capacity tablet you can afford though, as 32GB will only give you about 28 GB of actual free space (as IOS takes up about 4GB).

Well worth the price
on March 21, 2017
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
All I can say is that the Otterbox Defender cases (whether it's for tablets or phones) are well worth the price. Yes, they are more expensive than others on the market, but it's far cheaper than fixing or replacing your phone or tablet. Get it, put it on your device, and forget about it and don't worry about destroying your device. I've dropped my iPhone dozens of times, even onto concrete without a broken screen. Definitely recommended!

What kind of ssd does this have and is it upgradeable?

They use a Samsung SSD I believe (an M.2 SATA drive I think, based on the last time I looked at a tear-down). But they are NOT upgradable--You will destroy the casing trying to get it opened. Just buy the 512GB version ,and get a 256GB micro-SD card to fit in the card slot and you should be good for disk space.

Can you use the pen to hand write edits to a Word or PDF document?

Yes, you should be able to using the included stylus/pen. You will need a PDF reader (such as ADobe Acrobat) that lets you edit/fill in PDF files.
