The new MacBook Pro is razor-thin, featherlight, and now even faster and more powerful than before. It has the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display. And it features up to 10 hours of battery life.* It’s a notebook built for the work you do every day. Ready to go anywhere a great idea takes you.

Best machine I've owned
on April 16, 2018
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought to replace a 2008 MacBook that is still working well, 10 years on, but since Apple has stopped supporting it and it has a spinning hard-drive, I'm playing with fire.
I like the style of both the old and new keyboards. I can't explain why, but they are different. This is the first laptop I've owned with backlit keys and I love it. It's fast and capable, and the OS integration with my other (Apple) devices is incredible. Viewing a text on the laptop dismisses notification on the phone like magic. The Unix shell is such a benefit.
My biggest issue is the big one you've probably heard before: non-replaceable parts. The battery, RAM, and hard drive are soldered in and can not be replaced by me. This is why my 10-year old machine is still working today. The un-upgradability may very well get me to look elsewhere besides Apple when this laptop needs to be replaced.

This box set release compiles all four entries of the Jason Bourne film series. Matt Damon starred as the amnesiac special agent in The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum, while Jeremy Renner took the lead role of Aaron Cross in The Bourne Legacy. This collector's edition features a bonus disc with special features, including a look at the upcoming fifth film in the series, and the return of Damon, 2016's Jason Bourne.

Steelbook fan

I really like the packaging. The title can remain on or can be removed for a more spartan look. Room for another disc, though I'm not a huge fan of stacking discs so they can contact each other. Otherwise, great space-saver.

Affordable Streaming product
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
I tried out both the 3rd generation AppleTV and 1st Gen Chromecast in the past year as well as the features of my Smart TV, and the Roku Streaming Stick is my new go-to streaming device.
I love that it plugs right into an HDMI port and pulls power from my TV. I don't have to worry about finding space for another box on my TV stand. This also has the most available channels (Netflix, Hulu, AND Amazon).
I've had some problems with the wifi remote, which I tracked down to having dying batteries included. I've replaced the batteries, and it seems to have resolved the issue. The Roku app has been useful, and helped working through this.
And yet another set of contracted preset buttons that you may or may not use.

Solid travel keyboard
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
Excellent build materials on a very nice & compact keyboard.
Connects & disconnects quickly just by opening/closing the keyboard.
The connection indicator lights are usefully bright.
There's is a magnet to keep it closed
I feel secure throwing it in a bag.
Cons:
Requires a flat surface
You have to focus in placing your hands properly on the keys. It's good for touch-typing, but you can't be sloppy since some of the keys are non-uniform width.

Design is good, but I prefer the case
on August 17, 2015
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got an open box deal for a fraction of the price. The smart cover is good with the magnetic attachment and closure, but I have the smart case, and usually leave that on, as it isn't too much more bulk and offers a lot more protection from scratches and drops. Both the cover and case have the same folding-stand design.

Grabbing the physical copies at this price was a great find. Five of Weezer's albums for around $20.

Terrific streaming box
on August 17, 2015
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
I haven't had any problems with the operation of this device. I wish I had a little more control on how the apps are grouped. And some cable companies do their usual cable monopolistic things and only allow certain devices to have access to certain apps (and Apple and Amazon can't/won't make a deal to offer Amazon Prime Video). Also, this is killer for AirPlay capabilities alone. I use this more than the built-in apps on my SmartTV for design and speed. I also picked up a bluetooth keyboard, and they work great together.

Perfect wireless keyboard for Apple households

Easy bluetooth pairing and fast switching between devices. Looks great, works great, and the light up keys are fantastic. Battery life is incredible. This keyboard is well-hyped and deserves it. I chose this over the apple wireless keyboard and the logitech solar w/numerical and don't regret it a bit. Being able to use this with my iPad, macbook, and AppleTV is killer.

Love this show! Packaging could be better
on August 17, 2015
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of my favorite shows. This box includes all the seasons + the movies:
Volumes 1-4, aired on Fox from 1999-2003
Four "straight to DVD" movies (later hacked into episodes for Comedy Central) 2008-2009
Volumes 5-8, aired on Comedy Central 2010-2013
All discs are SD versions, even though 2 of the movies and Volumes 5-8 were released in HD.
This set is just a nice outer box that all the retail Volumes were plopped into. The people who will buy this are generally going to be more than casual fans, so I wish they had made more of an effort to give this a special treatment. A limited edition DVD set was released after the movies were all out that was packaged in a model of Bender the robot's head. I would have liked to have seen this complete set have a more special presentation and HD treatment. As is, it's a good way to get the entire series in a good-looking box.

Nice compact device to stream to your TV
on August 17, 2015
Posted by: OpusOne
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unlike a Roku or Apple TV, this little doodad doesn't have it's own app-based ecosystem. You use it to allow your TV to receive media playing on your other devices, like a PC, smartphone, or tablet. In the past, I would move my laptop near the TV and hook a long HDMI cable to it in order to stream videos to my TV. Now, I just put something on Google Chrome and "cast" it to the TV. It works really well in all cases and I've never had a failure to connect quickly. There's no remote control, because you use the source device to control playback.
I like that it can draw power straight from a USB power port on my TV, so I don't have to take up yet another plug on my power strip.
I think it mainly works with Google Chrome on Macs/PCs and most of the major video smartphone/tablet apps have Chromecast capability, but not all.
