Great collectible with in game value

If you collect these, it's a great addition. If you're playing Breath of the Wild, then it really adds value. You still get the add one for other games that use Amiibo, but every day in BoTW, you can use all of your Amiibos to get extra items and weapons. This one, since it's a part of the series gives you they best type of items. These really help with ensuring you're stocked up in the game.

Engaging and fun, son loves it
on April 7, 2017
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
More of the same really, and while not great for most adults, my son loves it. Maybe because it's Pokémon and he loves all of it, but the biggest drawback I think is the aging 3DS platform. Graphics are ok but eclipsed by phones now and with the new Switch out, this will probably die off in our household. Still, the game is good and highly thought of by my son.

More of the same, but very good nonetheless
on April 7, 2017
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
The best value for an iPad yet, it has some advancements in speed, slightly different size so old cases won't work which is a bummer. It is very fast but the screen is no longer laminated so it gives you an odd sound when you're touching the screen, which gives it a cheaper feeling. Overall though, a great move forward for value with these lower prices.

Blu-ray quality is excellent, the movie is very good and interesting for both boys and girls and the family. Features are OK, nothing special but having a digital company is always a plus

Looks very nice, but....
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ok, so I bought the gold because it was on sale for $13, as opposed to the full $30 for the other colors. It looks great, but really isn't gold and doesn't match the Apple colors. That said, I paired it with a black bracelet band and it looks VERY sharp. I've gotten many compliments on it and it generally looks nice with any face you select. It does minimal protection, but leaves the screen/face exposed. It goes on easy and stays on without issue. Overall, great, but for the normal $30, it's just not a great value. For $15 or less, snatch one up!

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Hard to image a better/more responsive stylus
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
Works great, very fast, responsive, accurate and has very good sensitivity. The only things I would change are the method of charging, as plugging it into an iPad and leaving it extended (and at risk for damage) is just bizzare and not really Apple-like. That said, it only takes a few mins for a quick charge or maybe 30 mins for a full charge. The other change I'd make is to somehow use the opposite end for an eraser rather than nothing functional.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro delivers an unprecedented combination of portability and performance. At just 6.1mm thin and weighing less than a pound, iPad Pro features the brightest, most advanced Retina display ever with True Tone, advanced sensors that adjust the display to your environment for even more comfortable viewing. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 10 hours of battery life. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

It's an iPad, faster and with the "Pro" features
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
There isn't much need to explain an iPad, so I'll quickly say that I've owned every generation and this one is surely the best yet. I was specifically interested in the Apple Pencil support and have not been disappointed. Comparing to the Surface Pro 4 and Surface "book", it's a similar experience, but Apple really nailed it for speed, accuracy and sensitivity. It works great for notes and drawing alike. We've had a blast truly drawing with the pencil and I find it VERY useful for business, being able to sketch a diagram or workflow. Though you could do this with a stylus before, the experience is just not comparable. If you're buying an iPad and would use the Pencil, this is the one to get.

Quick, simple, beautiful - for photos
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
As with all products, there is really 1 or 2 things that they excel at. For this printer, photo printing is really the main feature. Sure, you can print documents, but I don't find the quality and contrast to be very good overall. For photos however (especially on Canon paper) the quality is excellent and absolutely deserving of a frame. There are 2 trays (both small though), wifi, AirPrint and a decent scanner to boot. Great deal overall for a nice AIO with a small footprint.

Great connectivity, current tech and value

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this up during the holidays for $250, so my enthusiasm comes with that great bargain price. It's a nice looking receiver and the lights on the front are sharp and easy to read. Setup is pretty easy, though not exactly intuitive. I do manual setup for my gear, but you can use the included mic for auto-setting speakers. The OSD menu is helpful, but not a great layout or intuitive to navigate. The iOS app that you can connect to the receiver with is good, but it too is just oddly laid out. I get reasonable control, 6 HDMI inputs and 4k upscaling and the latest 4k HDCP compliance. Overall, a killer value and a very good receiver.

Fantastic remote, great value
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: dlescal
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love Harmony remotes, and have for many years. We have 1 on every tv setup in our home, so 5 in total. I have several 650's, a 700 and a Harmony One. This is the best value, and if you use rechargeable batteries with it, it'll continue to be economical. Generally easy to setup and consistent. Somewhat painful here and there when devices don't all come on together or turn off together, but the 'help' button usually gets it fixed. It can be a little slower than your factory remote, particularly on DirecTV boxes, but I do love these regardless.

Can I use DSL internet service on this computer?

I'm planning to sign up for NetZero DSL when I purchase a new computer. Can this computer be wired to take DSL?
Absolutely. DSL would typically use a modem that connects to your phone line within your home. There is a connection (LAN port/RJ45) on these modems (which normally have a router...wired or wireless combined with them) and that connection will plug directly or wirelessly to this computer giving you internet access. Most DSL providers will help you configure and setup a PC at the time of their installation/delivery.
