Works as it should

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, not much I can say about this, other than it works as it should. Seems to be of good quality and worth the money. Great for making large wires (ex. 100ft wires with 2-50ft cables, etc). So it can come in handy if you don't want to buy a reel of wire and if you have several smaller wires you want to use to make a larger wire.

Good filter for the price
on June 13, 2016
Posted by: sirhawkeye64
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall this is a good filter for the price. It is not as of high quality glass as some of the professional brands (B+W, Hoya, etc, which is expected because of the price). But for someone starting out in photography, these are great ones to start with as they are cheap to replace if you happen to break/scratch one. the circular polarizer can give you that nice silky smooth water / calm water look (if you use it correctly--the filter spins on the end of the lens where you can adjust the density--darkness or lightness). I would recommend this for beginner photographers only. Intermeidate/pro photographers may want to look at other "pro" brands, like B+W and Hoya as these have better glass. But this is certainly a decent starter polarizer.

Nice small camera with lots of features

Verified Purchase:Yes
Sony (in my opinion) has always made good products, and this camera is nice and small, and packs a 20MP sensor. Great for if you're out walking as it easily slips into a pocket or purse. I would strongly recommend this camera to anyone on a budget just looking for a simple, and easy to use P&S (point-and-shoot) to start out with.

Overall a good filter for the price. Great for beginners. May not be of top quality glass that professionals look for (may want to look at other brands such as B+W, Hoya, etc). But for the price, it does the job for general photography.

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).

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Tablet: With this versatile tablet's Intel® Core™ i5 processor and 12.3" Sensitive touch screen, you can stay productive all day. Type notes using the keyboard (sold separately), or navigate with the included Surface Pen, which allows you to write directly on Web pages with the Microsoft Edge browser.Learn more.
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]).

Can Barnes and Noble's Nook program be used with the Surface Pro 4?
Yes, download it from the Microsoft Store (I think it's free).

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.
