Im an electrical apprentice this backpack is awesome for work and to take home for side jobs. It has lots of pockets but i still use a smaller 12" tool bag for what doesnt fit.

These small SOHO switches have been extremely handy.  For the size and price-point it's a very, very great deal.  The ProSafe utility helps bring the cost down.  VLAN trunking works perfectly and so has everything else.

I've had a backup battery pack for several years now, and the storage capacity on these things have really improved.  Out of the box, the unit was about 75% charged and I topped it off prior to using it.  I charged up my Kindle DX and Motorola RAZR phone with no problem on one charge, and had lots of juice to go before I used it again.  I've been using this for the past couple of weeks as I travel from place to place with my job and it's great for when you need a recharge in the airport.  I can't tell you how long it took to recharge for another full load as I set it up overnight.

The slim design is handy as it fits conveniently in a pocket in my laptop bag.  It's about the size of my RAZR phone or an iPhone.

One thing to note is it does not come with a separate charging adapter per se but you charge it up using a micro usb cord - I think that is a lot better than a standard charger device because when (not if) you lose it or it breaks your battery pack is not left high and dry: we all seem to have lots of micro usb cords laying around everywhere.

If you travel as much as I do, you've been stranded without power in an airport or somewhere that's inconvenient.  While $70 seems pricey, I think this is an essential piece of equipment for the traveler and I recommend it - I take it with me on every trip now.

This thing is fast, and I love the security encryption feature.  I use flash drives for work...and don't necessarily want work files floating around in the free world if I lose it.  I love that it has such a high capacity and is so portable and small.

I am transitioning to using stab in connectors and this 8 port made for a neat and easy connection in a 3 gang box with 5 neutral wires connected together(5 wires in one connector) and 5 ground wires with 2 branching off (total of 7 in one connector) plus the hot wires. This would have filled the box with wire nuts and extra wires in the past so I think this is safer, easier and it is easy to check the wires to confirm they are tight, push them in far enough and if you can pull them out, then try again. They can be removed if needed by back and forth twisting and pulling at same time. I have not heard of any document failures of these new type connectors, please comment if you know of any. My research showed that in the past these could fail because they were made with different metal but now they work good even if overheated occasionally.

I don't travel too much anymore, which doesnt bother me in the slightest. For as long as theyve been available, theres been a portable wireless access point or router in my kit.

 But, frankly, I haven't had to use whichever one I had with me in years. I cant remember the last time I stayed at a place that had a cabled data connection. But I still never go on a trip without a portable router or access point in my kit, just in case. There are few things worse, in my opinion, than being forced to sit in an uncomfortable motel chair because I am anchored to a short data cable. More than once in the bad old days, I would head over to a Radio Shack or BestBuy to buy a long CAT5 cable.

 Anyway, the AC433 is cute. It is a tiny little thing: 1.75 square by little more than a half-inch thick and doesnt even weigh an ounce.

 It is intended for the non-technical user or anyone who wants simple, one-button configuration. Theres no battery, so you either have to have a 5v AC adapter or plug it into a USB port, which makes it less mobile.

 Setup is dirt simple. Plug in power. Plug in the data cable. Flick a switch to choose 5Ghz (802.11ac) or 2.4GHz(802.11n). Log on to the available network using whatever security the facility provides (i.e., password, etc.). Listed transfer speeds are 433Mbps for 802.11ac and 150Mbps for 11n1. You can also use this to log into an existing wireless network and essentially use this as a hotspot. I have never done that simply because Ive never had a need for it.

 There doesnt appear to be any pre-set limit on how many devices can share this router. Units like this are intended to provide very local coverage, like one room or maybe a small suite. Trying it at home, I had no problems in the living room / dining room / kitchen area which is larger than most hotel rooms. It also broadcast through bathroom walls.

 Overall Id say this is an inexpensive bit of insurance just in case you run into a situation where only cable access is available. As I said, thats very rare phenomena for me these past few years. What I use more these days is a powerful WiFi antenna, particularly when Im forced into a hotel that charges for access. In most areas, with a powerful antenna, I can generally find an open WiFi channel.

Must have for the mobile office.  And it is great for gaming on the go. Super lightweight, and slim, even in the protective case. If your laptop bag/backpack is already full, it will take up some room (length/height-wise, not width).  The single cable seems sturdy and is of decent length.
Install the drivers before you connect it on a Win 7 box.

Super portable and thin.  Great for on the go backup. Only flaw, the charging led is too small, it's hard to see the light.

I had read various reviews, including some bemoaning the "push-button" (to open) construction. Most of the time it is connected to my computer, but 1/2 dozen times I've packed it and taken it on the road. It has never been a problem, never struggled with the open/close method. It does what it says, quickly transferring huge .nef as well as tif/jpeg images from camera to 'puter. It's so light as to be almost weightless in a camera bag (which is where I pack it when traveling) and has quickly taken its place as a key tool in my daily digital photography pursuits.

If you are looking for a good and portable USB solution, this product will do the job.  Its tiny, just the size required for the USB plugs.  As a laptop companion, its an excellent choice.  Connection is as simple as plugging it in.  The data transfers seems smooth and fast.  As a desktop solution, it is less formidable.  The device is so small that it can easily disappear amid desktop clutter.  If you need to plug in the power source, you will find that the cables are heavier than the device - heavy enough to pull if off of a desktop in fact.  If you purchase this device, be prepared for a long and frustrating battle to remove the packaging.  Have a knife, scissors and needle nose pliers available to help you crack the case!

I have been upgrading my computers recently to laptops due to their portability, built in monitors, UPS (battery power), etc.  I wanted the option to use any of my three devices in a new vehicle I bought and of course, every one of them has a different plug on it even though they use the same power levels. I got a specific adapter for each which is fine - I'll keep them handy in case I ever need to use more than one - but after getting all three I saw this one. I haven't used it to any great length off AC, but it would appear to work just as well on either AC or DC, the plug is a standard radio-shack style end so even if the connectors don't fit my devices, I can just stop at a local RS to get others, and the USB plug comes in really handy to charge the cell phone, etc. I'm half tempted to get ahold of the manufacturer and see if they sell separate 12v leads so I can run a dedicated connector to the fusebox to free up the accessory port. A really slick little 'all-in-one' solution for anyone that needs versatile connectivity for laptops and other portable devices from either the car or home!

Easy to use, no wire to fuss with, have to change batteries from time to time, but it's worth it.  Can easily use with multiple PCs.

This portable battery is phenomenal in function and looks.
Not bulky or hefty. Easy to use with 2 ports and an easy to find large power button on the side.
The color indicator on the label name is a great touch. White, green, red for fresh, ongoing, near dead.
Only thing is the cable it came with is pretty short making the user have to haul the battery next to the phone when using it.
I have a medium-large size hand, so it's comfortable to hold below the phone. Unsure if it's easy enough for other users.

This outlet made it into the recent travel rotation, especially when I was taking my car and was less concerned about late.  I liked that I didn't have to pack 'wall warts' for USB cables for my iPhone and iPad, and still had a few free outlets to use.  Although it is described as mini, it is a formidable device in the hand and in the travel bag. I found it's weight/space to utility was best when I wasn't worried about carrying it in my bag every where.

I loved this outlet.  I recently accidentally left it in Caesar's Atlantic City, and have been missing it since.  Next time I have Chase Freedom points to redeem on Amazon, I think I will reorder.

This is a truly awesome little device!  I've tested every one of its features and they've all performed very well.  For me, this was a way to combine several devices I carried around on my utility belt (okay, it's actually a backpack... but you get the idea) and I'm extremely pleased with its performance so far!  I can now leave my SD card reader and battery pack at home thanks to this little guy.  It's also good to know that I can create a wireless signal (from a wired connection) if I ever have to.  While the ability for this device to act as a wireless router is nothing to sneeze at, I feel it's the one feature most people will use the least since most places that will grant a 'guest' access to a wired ethernet connection will, most likely, already have a wireless network in place. As for the 4th and final feature - acting as a 'file hub,' - it performs as described but takes longer than expected to establish a connection to USB flash drives/hard drives and the read speeds are slower than what I typically get over my wireless network at home when I access any of my NAS devices. Primarily, on the go, I'm a laptop user and therefore, I have no need to access USB drives from mobile devices (i.e. phone/tablets). Notwithstanding, it's good to know that the possibility exists.  Given its performance in the last of 4 categories, I considered making this a 4-star review, however, since I'm a MacOS / iOs user, and did no testing in a Windows environment, I couldn't in good conscience take away a full star.  If it makes it more fair, feel free to think of this as a 4.5-STAR REVIEW. :-)  All in all, I'm a very happy camper!

Bought this at Urban's

Phone : iPhone 5s

Pro:
- Very small and portable (do not want to carry any more heavy items)
- loved the attached cable options.
- Keychain is a great idea. I attach this to bag/car/jeans
- Love the color
- Get a lot of "What is that"
- Do not see another like this in the Market.
Cons:
-Battery is small (however I knew what I was getting, I just need enough power to last another hour).
- Solar is weak, but then again if you understood solar, you would know you need a large panel to really provide power, this is strictly one of those emergency moments. However it still charges via USB (just fine)
