Surprisingly good purchase
351477
A couple of weeks ago, I bought this to give my daughter a simple outlet for music on her iPod Touch. I have been surprised by how handy it is and how good it sounds. I noticed a little distortion at the highest volume levels on my iPhone, but it's remarkably useful. She has disabilities that make its operational simplicity very important. I'm considering buying another one to give me iPhone sound in our car that doesn't have a radio.

Surprisingly good quality for the price. Pieces fit snugly and seem secure. We're ordering more to have on hand as birthday presents.

Better than I expected. While still thin and not clunky, it is heavier than I expected, which to me is good because it doesn't feel cheap or dinky. Its a surprisingly good quality keyboard and setup. Its magnetic or something so the tablet just kind of clicks in place, and clicks back out when you pull on it. The tablet can be put in facing the keyboard and opened so it feels very much like a laptop , or it can be turned around, clicked into the keyboard backwards and then folded flat facing up, so that the keyboard is hidden but still attached. I was worried that when I didn't want to use the keyboard I would still have to keep up with the keyboard floating around, so that's a really nice option. All in all, its no fancy samsung, but let me say that I am VERY impressed with what we got for the price. I was expecting something light and plastic-y, but this feels and looks like a much more expensive tablet. Android lollipop runs smoothly so far. Would recommend and buy again.

A very good purchase at a surprisingly modest price!

Here are the great qualities of this computer: a quiet fan, a large and beautiful screen, great speed (the whole Adobe Suite works lightening fast on this computer), an approximate 1 TB hard drive, and 12 GB of RAM! Wow - at $519, it was a steal for me. It has Windows 8 - a downside for some - but I was pleased with that! I believe that Windows 8 is not hard to use at all. Just as a Windows 7 and lower user going to a Mac will encounter difficulties at first, or vice versa, you may at first be confused about some new features. Get with the times and just read an online manual once, instead of trying your luck and getting frustrated. It becomes very easy to use, and I actually have really turned around from being uncertain about 8 to loving it.

Now for the cons - cons which, at this price, are not cons at all. It is not heavy, but it is certainly not a MacBook Air. But you must remember that unlike thinner laptops, this one can play DVDs and CDs. It does not have touchscreen, but I rarely use a touchscreen beyond trying it out when I first get a computer/laptop. It does not have a backlit keyboard -  a bummer, but it's not necessary for me to work in the dark. But these qualities may be important to others.

I bought another laptop through Amazon that was more expensive, and it came with messed up screen colors, probably from a broken graphics card. I had to return it, and I was nervous about getting this one. But I'm very glad I took the risk! The colors are spot on.

If there are problems later, I will edit this review to report back. If not, assume everything is going swimmingly!

Wasn't sure what to expect, but such a good value.

Got this in black and in grey. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the fabric - it's a lot better than the simple knit/sweatshirt material I was expecting. Ordered XL for extra baggy/long fit (am 5'2" size 6) and that's exactly what I got; looks as it does on the model but hangs longer since I am short. Very good purchase for the price.

Wasn't sure what to expect having never bought a smart TV or 4K, but I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

To start off, the way it was packaged was very durable and saved. It was first wrapped in bubble wrap, then had a harder type of foam glued to the corners of the box, finally be wrapped in clear plastic. It came in excellent condition.

Next, setup was easy enough. The hardest part was probably screwing the stand in since it seemed either the screw lines weren't cut deep enough or my screw driver was slightly too big for the screws. Then, just reconnecting the HDMI and color cables. It came with two sets of color cables that plug in to headphone like jacks, so you can still easily attach the nostalgic red, yellow, and white cables if you want to. Next, plugging it in, using the batteries for the remote that came with it, and turning it on. Finally, adjusting brightness and screen mode to suite my tastes. But this was easy enough.

Now, the Xbox One S that I have automatically detected the TV as 4K and asked to turn it in. After playing a few games, I went to calibrate the TV a bit further and honestly didn't have to do much... (since I messed with the brightness and backlighting before hand).

I was very happy to see that I could easily navigate the Xbox One S with the TV remote itself after pairing it, so that was a nice plus.

Screen quality seems great, although it's hard to say since Skyrim's graphics weren't exactly made for 4K. The sound was much better than I expected. At higher volumes it seems to bounce off of the wall (if it's in front of one and there's enough space) and the base is pleasant.

All in all, I am very happy with the decision so far. And navigating the apps seems pretty responsive and easy to do. The browser isn't too bad either.

For the price I payed I didn't expect much but I was very surprised by how nice it is. Durable, looks great, holds my tablet upright in two positions.

Surprising good quality for the price. I use mine at the foot of the bed as storage and a step up for my 17lb dog. Very steady, it doesn't move when she jumps on it.

Surprisingly good quality for the price. Easily comparable to the more expensive brands.  Purchased along with the shirt for my teenage sons and they love them.  They have held up well to hard workouts, football games, and repeated washings.

Much better than I expected. Good for the price. I was  just going to use this set as moving boxes since it's big enough, not too expensive and easy to move around. But it seems like I can take it for my upcoming trip. Will update after my trip.  Happy  with it so far.

I didn't expect this to be a particularly good mouse given the relatively low price but I'm really pleased with it. It's more lightweight than some gaming mice, like the Logitech G600, so that took some getting used to. It does have adjustable weights underneath the palm and I bet it wouldn't be too hard to find heavier weights if I really cared to make it more like the G600.

With six DPI settings, it can be a little annoying to get back to what you want if you accidentally change it but I've rarely had that problem.

The action on the mouse wheel and buttons is pretty good. I've only had it for a couple of months so it's hard to say how well that action will hold up long term but, so far, it's been sturdy.

Between working at a computer all day and sometimes spending a handful of hours gaming afterwards, I need comfortable mice. This one has been great for long use.
