Gets the job done. NIce that it can be configured to work with multiple devices and can be switch to work with whatever device you need very quickly. I wish it was smaller, though.

Good product at a good price

Can't say much about this, as it's just glass cleaner, but it's a good product at a good price. Good for cleaning electronics. May not want to use the cloth on a camera lens as it tends to smear, but otherwise does what it should. Always use alcohol-free solutions for cleaning screens, lenses, and optics. Using alchohol-based solutions to clean such surfaces can damage any coatings on the lenses/surfaces.

Good if you need more reach for an iphone cable
on July 31, 2016
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Basically does what it should. It's just a charging/data transfer cable. I will note that people with iPhones and iPads should use OEM cables, as some aftermarket cables are not as durable and may not always provide constant voltage (cheap wiring in the wire) so it's always a good idea to get an OEM cable from Apple. This one is nice if you want to use a charger that's in a wall socket and still keep the phone on your desk, as it should be long enough for most purposes.

Overall, a decent product. Not the best out there (probably not what Pros are looking for, but good for the everyday casual photographer/hobby photographer). i use mine mainly as protection for the lens, but it has other uses.

Pricey for what you get, but it's durable
on July 7, 2016
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, I've had a Surface Pro, Pro2, Pro3, and now a Pro4, and I can say that they are quite durable (I like the magnesum alloy casing). I'm also glad they've made these thinner. Works well for just about anything (if you get the i5 or i7 version with 8GB of RAM or more). The only thing I would like to see in future revisions is an extra USB port, even if it's just USB 2.0... that way I can have a mouse plugged in and an external HDD (into the USB 3.0 port). It would also be nice if the pen slid inside of the case itself (like some of the Samsung tablets do) as opposed to be held on the outside by a magnet. It would also be nice if they had a built-in full-sized SD card reader (I know they have the micro SD, but a second full-sized slot would be nice too). Despite the shortcomings (which are few) I would definitely recommend this to a friend ,but there are cheaper alternatives out there (perhaps not the durability, or features, but there are competitive options that don't cost quite as much, and that include the keyboard.... which I wish MS would include when you're spending $1000+ on a tablet!

Experience the versatility of this 14-inch Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga laptop. It converts to a tablet when needed, letting you navigate the touch screen with the included stylus, and the Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM run multiple programs smoothly. This Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga laptop has a 256GB solid-state drive for storage space and fast data retrieval.Easily change between four modes - laptop, stand, tablet, and tent - while your system automatically switches system settings and locks the keyboard in place. The secret: ThinkPad Yoga 14's unique design, improved hinge, and touchscreen display allow the screen to flip around 360 degrees - and even lay it flat - which means you can select the mode you use based on what you choose to do.Starting at a mere 4.2 lbs and 0.8" thin, ThinkPad Yoga 14 is ultraportable - it's perfect for productivity on the go. And with hours of battery life, you can go all day without recharging.

Great build quality, but a little heavy
on July 7, 2016
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always been a fan on the Lenovo ThinkPad line, especially the W and T series. Overall, this laptop was a decent buy. It has dedicated graphics which are OK for basic gaming or video/photo work. The frame (screen) and body feel very durable. Lenovo is perhaps one of the few brands that still uses metal hinges (most others use heavy plastic). I also like the fact you can upgrade the HDD/SSD and memory. Overall, it was decently priced for what you get. But at about 4 lbs, its a bit heavy, even though it may be classified as an ultrabook still. But don't let the weight prevent you from buying this one. It's still a good notebook, and a durable one at that.

Not the best, but not the worst either

Verified Purchase:Yes
I used to use Trend Micro Pc-Cillion way back in the day, and I've used their more recent AV/security offerings. I will say that they are adequate for what you pay. If you want absolute security, I would recommend ESET Smart Security instead, but it costs more (like around $100 for 5 PCs), but most major branded AV Software (Norton, AVG, ESET, and Trend Micro) keep your computer safe. You do get what you pay for, and free anti-virus is only so good, so if you're on a budget, give this a try.

Decent memory at a good price
on July 7, 2016
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, this kit was decently priced when I got it. Adding memory is perhaps the fastest and easiest way to speed up your computer and let you run more applications at a time. PNY memory has generally been good, as is most major name-brand memory (Crucial, Samsung, Kingston, etc).

Keep your notebook moving with this PNY 4GB DDR3 RAM stick. The low 1300MHz frequency speed helps to reduce temperatures across the laptop while ensuring it still has enough speed to keep data flowing to important programs. Each PNY 4GB DDR3 RAM stick is ideal for motherboards that have 1.5-volt RAM slots.

PNY memory (for the most part) is fine. I've never had a problem with their video cards or memory modules (or SSDs). I have had some issues with their USB flash drives, but that's about it. But, this memory module is fine, and adding memory is perhaps the easiest and fastest way to speed up your computer so you can run more applications at a time. I would recommend this to a friend.

Apple® Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Proprietary, HD-15 Female
 

I purchased an adaptor and it worked excellent with my old MacBook. I purchased a new MacBook Air this year and the connect from this to the projector is very fuzzy. Is there something I am missing. I thought maybe a new port would help with the Macbook

YOu may want to try adjusting the resolution on the new MacBook. IN particular, the screen resolution it uses on the external monitor, as some computers (macs included) can have a different resolution for external displays, and a separate resolution for the internal built-in display, so it sounds like you're running a very low resolution on the external monitor. Increase the resolution in your Display settings on the MacBook and that should solve your problem. If not, then you may have a defective DVI cable or the port on your MacBook might be defective or the contacts are dirty.

(Sorry I see you have a projector. The same stuff applies, but you'll need to find out what your projector's native resolution is).

With support for up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and Thunderbolt technology, this Insignia™ NS-PD94591 adapter makes it easy to connect your computer's mini DisplayPort output to devices with a single- or dual-link DVI input.
 

Is this Insignia what I need to hook up two Monitors to one Computer? Thank you

No, this only lets you attach one external monitor to your laptop or other device with mini-display port.

What does the Microsoft Surface Dock do?

It basically allows you to set the tablet into it, and it allows you to connect more devices to the tablet (as the dock acts as a port-expansion system, so you can have it plugged into your TV, an external hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc). Plus the dock should charge the tablet as well, while it's being used in the dock as well. Not sure if the dock is worth the price they ask for it. There are cheaper USB 3.0 alternatives out there that do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. But that's basically what the dock does--lets you plug more devices into it (you plug the devices into the docking station, and then slide the tablet into the docking station and the devices are then connected to the tablet while it is docked).

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

It has a built-in (soldered on) M.2 SATA drive, which is NOT upgradable. You will destroy the tablet trying to get it apart as much of it is actually glued together, and there are a ton of small screws. Not worth trying to upgrade even if you could because the chances of damaging the LCD is very good.

Does it run google play? I have games on kindle and le pan that i still want.

Probably won't run Google PLay as that is only available on Android (as far as I know). You would need to download the games from the MIcrosoft Store if they are available, or purchase the PC version of the games if they are available, but i don't think Google Play is available on Windows (last I checked).

It says 256GB storage. Is that similar to a hard drive so i can add on an additional microsd card or is that in fact using the microsd card slot.

The 256GB advertised is the SSD (internal hard drive). It is like using a microSD card (which you can use as well in the tablet--there is a small slot under the fold-out stand in the back). You won't get the full 256GB of space on the internal SSD as some of it used by the operating system, so you may see about 220GB upon unboxing and starting it up for the first time. Still plenty of room for most people. But you can add a 256GB microSD card to the slot in the back to add storage. It won't be as fast, but should be fast enough for storing files, watching movies, etc.

Can the surface pro 4 run itunes successfully?

Yes it can, providing that when you install it, no error occur. But yes, iTunes should work on the Surface Pro 4 (or any version of the Surface Pro---1, 2, 3 or 4, as well as the Surface 3 [non pro version]).

Are there any encryption programs on the surface pro 4 256 gb Intel i5?

In case the unit is stolen, what kind of protection is there in the form of encryption?
I think BitLocker comes as part of Windows 10 Pro, which comes on the Pro versions of the Surface Tablets. This will allow you to encrypt the drive. You can also try other free programs, such as TrueCrypt, which is an open source cryptograophy system encrypting hard drives and files.
