Excellent Blu ray player - streaming device
on April 3, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
This player works very well with our Samsung TV's. My wife has a newer model tv and when she powers up the player, the tv automatically switches to the blu ray player.
We mainly use this player for streaming Netflix. It works well with the WiFi setup in our house, the menu's are laid out pretty well, and Netflix players without hiccups.

These are good car chargers

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the big brother of this one when I first got my iPhone 6 Plus, and I needed another one for my other car (that way I don't have to worry about which car has the charger). While I wish I would have gotten the bigger one, this one does the job very well. It provides enough power to run my phone, my GPS app, make calls and still charge the phone.
I also like the small footprint of the charger. The cord comes out in a 90 degree angle so I can plug this into the van cigarette lighter, and not bump my knee into it, like I have done with all the other chargers I have ever had. The light isn't obnoxious like others at night which is also a plus.

This cable is a little thicker than the Apple cable, but for the price, it can't be beat. I needed a longer cable for my desk at work so I can raise it up to stand at while working

Big enough for my hands....... and my eyes
on December 5, 2014
Posted by: Curtterp
from Northern IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was hesitant to get the iPhone 6 Plus because I wanted a 5" screen, not a 5.5" screen. But after owning the Plus for 3 weeks now, I wouldn't get anything smaller.
It does take a little getting used to the larger screen. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus and it was just too small.
The iPhone 6 Plus has enough power to spare. I listen to internet radio all day at work, and I tested how long I could go without charging. I was able to go to work using Google Maps (for traffic), talk to my wife for 20 minutes, listen to internet radio all day, check emails, use Google maps on the way home and still had 10% charge left. If I didn't have a hour drive each way, I would have had about 20% left. I worked it hard, and it took it with no problems.
Another test was to watch Netflix all morning (House of Cards Episodes back to back), put it on a charger for an hour during lunch, watched Netflix all afternoon, and still had plenty of power. it takes less than 3 hours to fully charge the phone. Sweet.

Device is good, software not so much

Compatible with...:PC
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a replacement for a seagate that went belly up in less than a year. It is used primarily as a backup disk for my wife's computer. She has a lot of embroidery and quilt designs that she has collected over the past 10 years.
Tried using the included backup software, but when it was done backing up (takes a little over a day), a comparison between the backup and the original shows that there are over a 1,000 files that were not backed up. So I disabled the backup software and she is now backing up manually (which she has done before). I was disappointed that the backup software didn't do the job.

excellent product

Compatible with...:Mac
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this on sale and even with $50.00 off, this was still pretty pricey.
But price aside, it worked directly out of the box. It took me about 5 minutes to set it up not to be the DHCP server, then setup a private network for the my Mac's only, then plugged it in the existing router.
The time machine just basically updated itself once it was on the network, then less than 5 minutes per mac to setup time machine to back up to this.... it took a while for each initial backup, but once that was done, the backups are done in the background and I never notice any lag from the backups.
Just another product from Apple that just plain works.

After using the trackpad on my Macbook Pro for a couple of months, I decided to get this for my mac mini. The best decision I made since deciding to buy the mac mini.
It paired without any trouble, in fact, all I had to do was turn it on.
It works just like the Macbook Pro trackpad. The two and three finger gestures work flawlessly.
There is less stress on my hand using it than I had with the mouse.

Replacing Windows Machine with Mac Mini

I used to have Apple computer years ago, but never had the money to purchase more. I have run windows exclusively for the past 14 years
However I was able to purchase a Macbook Pro last year, and this year, and now replace my desktop with this mac mini. I enjoy not having to update the OS every month, and not having the restart a couple of times a week.
Most of my programs that I use are on the Mac, and the one or two that will not, I have setup Virtual Box to run Windows in order to use those programs

How much disk space and is it SSD?
iPads do not have disk drives, they have NAND flash, which is the same technology as an SSD, but it is on the motherboard, not in an encapsulated drive enclosure.
There are 3 different storage sizes, 64gb, 256gb, and 512gb.
Each one has a different price point.

Enjoy crystal-clear conversations via your Bluetooth-enabled device using this Plantronics Voyager Legend SE 87300-13 headset, which allows you to use voice commands to take calls. Silicone eartips in multiple sizes help ensure comfortable wear.
any improvements since it came out in 2012 ?
I realize this has been an award winning bluetooth for 4 years, but has there been any technological advances for this particular headset since it came out ? I bought this model 3 years ago. Am I buying the same bluetooth again? It looks like it has the same specs as 4 years ago.
I replaced my older Voyager headset with this one recently. Although the specs are about the same, the battery is a lot better than the older one, since battery capacity goes down after a while.

Does it stream audio from your phone?
The basic Legend 87300-01 specifically says you can stream audio in the main product details. This statement and questions about the audio streaming are conspicuously missing from the info on the Legend SE 87300-13. Everything I read says they are the same, except the 87300-13 has a few more features. I have an 'antique' Voyager that has never streamed music.
Yes it does stream music from my iPhone. I listen to ESPN radio every morning when I go to work.
