Good performance, comfortable for its size

I bought this mouse for use with a PowerBook G4, which has built-in Bluetooth, and it works great. After putting in the batteries, turning on the mouse, and selecting a menu command, the PowerBook detected the mouse right away and started its wizard to walk through the rest of the configuration. And that was all before charging the batteries fully.

The mouse is narrower and longer than other mini mice I've seen, but I find it quite comfortable, even with big hands. I think this is because I can hold the mouse further towards the back end and have my fingers positioned nearly the same as with my full-size desktop mouse.

Before buying the mouse, I was concerned as to how the scroll wheel would feel. I've had other mice with scroll wheels that were too stiff, too loose, too low, etc. I was happy to find none of these problems; the scroll wheel has a nice smooth movement.

I haven't seen any of the jerky or laggy behavior I've read that some users have had with other Bluetooth mice. The only lag time is on initial startup when the computer awakens and needs to re-find the mouse, but that's a lag that I expect to occur.

Although I've only had the mouse about a week and a half, battery life of the included NiMH batteries seems good; I'm still on the first overnight charge. I also like having a USB charging cable instead of a bulky cradle. And in a pinch, standard AAA batteries can be used.

Great performance from this relatively small DVD player, even better than expected for the reasonable price.

I've had this router for several months now, and I'm happy to report that it's given me solid, reliable performance. It replaced an AirPort Extreme which had to be at least five or six years old. While I never had any particular problems with the AirPort, I'm sure that the age of the device was limiting in itself, and this feels like an upgrade. It has a smaller footprint than my AirPort (shaped more or less like a Hershey's kiss), and it's pretty sleek and attractive to boot, with its flashing lights.

My son does complain that connection speed degrades as he gets further away from the base. I haven't noticed this on my laptop, but he complains that videogame performance suffers. I would imagine the demands of those are high.

Speaking of children, I have not tested the live parent controls, but I'd recommend those with children younger than mine spend a few minutes reading up on them. They would have been great for me a few years back; not only can you control the level of web access to devices on the router, but you can control them from any computer in the world--if you forget to put on "nanny" mode before you go to work, don't worry about it.

One of the things I like about the router is the ease of set-up. I had the unit operating within 15 minutes of getting it out of the box.

I have been using this portable hard drive on a Windows PC for approximately 3 months now, and I love it.  The small size is very convenient, as it allows you to take it with you anywhere you go. I can fit this drive in my Netbook case, which makes air travel easier, as I can take all of my work and personal files with me. Unfortunately, I do not have USB 3.0 on my computer, so I cannot comment as to the performance on 3.0, but on my 2.0 USB computer, the performance is very good (without getting in to the technical details, let's just say it is MUCH faster than USB thumb drives.

I have not used the cloud storage or the back up and security programs that come with the drive, but it is nice to have those if you are looking to back up from a computer or store sensitive files. The shock sensor/protection system also provides some peace of mind, although the cord that I use is too short to allow for the drive to fall to the ground.

In summary, the design of this drive is sleek and looks good next to an HP Netbook and Laptop; and the performance of this drive has been more than satisfactory. I also love that it does not require an additional power source as the bulkier, larger desktop hard drives often do!

Works well, good range, comfortable for me, and construction seems to be on par with other controllers like the F710 and XBONE controller. I like it better than the F710 actually (I have, and have had issues with the F710), time will tell as they develop around the hardware.

I've had this mouse for over a year.  It's a great choice, especially for the average computer user.

The mouse is small and fits in your hand easily, with the buttons easy to access and responsive.  The receiver for the mouse is great if you're using it in laptops, netbooks, or other mobile computers.  It's tiny so you can leave it plugged up when you travel with your computer or stick it in the compartment inside the mouse where it fits perfectly.

The drawbacks are the small size and receiver durability.  If you have a large hand or are using this for precise movements (such as in gaming), then you'll want to go with a larger option that's more accurate with quick movements.  My receiver is also now having issues.  It works fine almost all the time, but when playing some PC games it'll lock up for a few seconds at a time, which is annoying in multiplayer games where you can't afford it.  Mostly, though, it's fine and there are no problems.

Overall, though, this is a great mouse, especially for the price.

This Bluetooth headset is very small, and fits inside my ear. It is quite comfortable. It is very simple to operate, it only has one button. I found that I needed to charge the headset fully, before I could pair it  to my phone. The sound is very good, and the microphone works quite well.

I heard some people accidentally switch it over to Chinese mode, and I found out that all you have to do is hold the call button down for a little bit and it will go back to English mode.

This is a nice little device, however, I would like it to be able to simultaneously connected to devices, for example my Apple Watch and iPhone. I tried many different ways and it could not do this.

This is actually a pretty nice device.  It feels solid in your hands.  It's a perfect little set up for me.  I use it in my kitchen while I prepare food, then take it out onto the porch for when I each.  It has a very full sound.  I listened to the Bose SoundDock, Pill, and the smaller Sony models and picked this one.  The Bose model sounded a tad bit better, but it was a lot larger, more expensive, and didn't seem as portable.  The Pill didn't sound as good, plus I'm over 25 years old, so I didn't really like the styling of the Pill as much.  The smaller Sony devices were OK, but since the largest version had the best sound and felt as portable as I wanted, I went with this one.

I haven't run the battery down yet, so I can't speak to that.

I will say that I haven't been too impressed with the range on the bluetooth with my ipad/iphone.  Maybe 20-25 feet.  I really think I'm going to go ahead and set up the function to use this with my wireless network, so I hope the bluetooth range becomes a moot point.

I mounted this small projector on a ceiling and I'm getting a 100 inch image. The performance is very good and maybe a little bit noisy the fan. I was expecting a little bit more light power but is enough for my needs, I don't know why they don't make a 1000 ANSI led even if they have to increase the device size. The menu (icons) for the memory and USB features seems o be like Atari graphics but it works OK. I recommend this small toy.

So, I was searching for a Laptop with nice performance, which was portable, and had long battery life. The U36SD has all three, plus a great build quality and finish.
A few things to notice, though:
-First, it does come loaded with Asus' software, but uninstaling the unimportant applications is all that is needed, since I didn't notice any slowdown when compared to a fresh Windows install.
-Second, the touchpad is great and though the buttons are not the best, I quickly got used to tapping and other combinations in order to avoid using them. What was kind of disappointing was that "two finger scroll" was supposed to be factory-enabled according to the user's manual, yet I had to get this for it to work: [...] . It's not the best implementation (Apple) as it has a few glitches, but works fine most of the time.
-It can get quite hot under heavy load (games), a bit loud too, but games perform better than I expected, and under normal web usage, it does get a bit warm but the palm rest areas and touchpad are thankfully the coolest spots. Manually setting processor speeds to 99% under Windows' power management options disables turbo boost and helps keep it a bit cooler.

PROS:
-Great battery life (around 6-7 hours of web browsing)
-Great performance: Processor speed + Discrete Graphics + SSD
-Nice build quality: Little flex and fingerprint-free finish
-Lightweight: I'd say it's comparable to a netbook (not a burden at all)
-Nice asssortment of ports (including USB 3.0)
-Comfortable keyboard and touchpad
-Good heat management considering it specs
-Great startup times (20 sec)

CONS:
-Screen and bezel are both glossy (not much of a deal breaker since most current notebooks are the same)
-It gets a bit warmer than I thought it would
-Couldn't get the keyboard in another language
-Comes with a considerable number of unwanted software
-Recovery partition takes 25 GB out of the SSD's 150 GB of useful space (I recommend copying it to an external drive and deleting it)
-Hard drive access requires you to dismantle the laptop

Other thoughts:
-Most reviews say the screen is horrible. I may not have a good one to compare it to, but I find it quite acceptable and with average viewing angles.
-It is almost certain that you wil need an external drive if you plan on installing a few programmes and having a moderately sized media colections, since the SSD is not large enough.
-High network activity seems to produce a fair amount of heat.
-Didn't come with auto-defragmentation turned off as it's recommended with SSDs.
-The accidental damage protection warranty requires you to mail the registration form.
-No optical drive (mostly useless to me nowadays, could get an external one if in dire need to burn something).
-"Global Waranty" is not exactly global, some countries have Asus' support centers but do not fulfill this warranty.
-Bluetooth is connected at startup regardless of Asus's utility's status

Online ratings for this shredder are glowing, and put it far above everything else in its category (light office use).  For the price point and its weight class it does seem good, but I guess because of the performance claims and the reviews I maybe expected too much?

It is quiet and powerful/shreds well, and definitely outperforms the lighter duty Fellowes unit I had before.

However, "jam free" is a stretch - it's good but will tend to get stuck if the paper isn't inserted fairly straight.  It handles 6-8 sheets comfortably, but not 14 sheets as advertised (standard weight printer/photocopy paper) - more than 6-8 sheets and it reads overload most of the time.  The waste bin is also a bit small for how much paper it can chew.

All in all, a great choice for an office that shreds a few hundred sheets a day or less - it's just not quite as awesome as it claims to be.

Performs better than expected! This is a very comfortable alternative to the more expensive Mircrosoft Arc mouse, with a few minor quirks.  First, the accuracy is definitely not as good.  I had to tweak my Windows mouse settings to fine tune it's precision but even once I did that it was still a bit jittery.  For the most part it gets the job done, however for very precise tasks it just doesn't pull through.  It works great as a portable mouse you can just toss in your bag and not have to worry about it breaking.  It does feel very durable in the hand and I had no issues with any of the buttons as some other reviewers had noted.

I am a former owner of the MW600, and was quite happy with it's performance. Having lost that one, I needed a replacement.

So far, I'm fairly satisfied with the SBH-52. The volume rocker and clip are definitely an improvement from the previous MW600. Volumes are certainly loud enough, and clarity above at least average, if not better. Battery life is great (I use it in short bursts while running, so not sure how many hours exactly). Sweat-proofing is good, no problems with moisture so far. Extremely light weight--when clipped to my shirt, I usually can't even tell it's there. Tried NFC once, not sure if it worked, since the phone's Bluetooth may have just picked up the device and asked if I wanted to pair/connect.

A few shortcomings I've noticed:

- Pressing the "Call answer/disconnect" button does nothing outside of calls. The MW600 used to bring up voice-dialing (which wasn't too great in its accuracy, but it was better than nothing).
-Radio only works with headphones plugged in. I get that it needs an antenna, but it would be nice if I could play the radio over the speaker.
-MW600 could pair 3 devices. This only pairs 2.
-Screen is a little small, considering the size of the device, there was definitely space to make it bigger.
-Device is nice and thing, but it feels unnecessarily wide. I would have liked a narrower profile.

This was my first time buying a cordless mouse, and I have to say that I am satisfied with it.

Form factor: The mouse is quite large, which might be a problem for those with small hands or who like small mice, but I like the feel.  It is understanably heavier than my corded mouse, but not as heavy as I thought it would be, given it has a rechargable battery in it that is supposed to last over 12 hours.  One of the few things I didn't like is that the chargable base is also the wireless receiver.  I think a smaller adapter that some wireless mice use would be better, leaving the charger to be placed in any position needed (you are not supposed to put it near any electronic devices, or it will interfere with the reception).

Performance:  The mouse is very sensitive, very small movements are captured perfectly on many surfaces my LED optical mouse would not work well on.  I can whip the pointer all around the screen with no loss or error, which is what the LED mice did poorest with, I think.  I have no complaints at all, and I believe their claim that it is 20x better than an LED mouse.  The mouse kicks off after a few seconds of inactivity, but comes back instantly upon movement, without having to move the mouse around for a second before it turns back on.

Other:  The driver/application suite that they bundle with the mouse (SetPoint) is completely useless in my opinion.  The only thing they really are needed for is to map the application button on the left side.  The HID drivers in windows XP worked just fine, and I happen to think that the windows mouse sensitivity settings are better.  I also wish they wouldn't have bothered with the little metal sticker on the front, it comes off way too easily... they should have just kept the bottom-front smooth.

Lastly, I had to return my first mouse because of some bug that made it jump up about 1 inch on the screen when I would move the mouse inside menus, in a list of links, or anything else that would make the mouse select different things quickly while moving upward.  I tried it on many machines in different locations, and it did the same thing.  The second mouse has worked fine for the 2 hours I have been using it thus far.  I wonder if this will be a reoccuring bug, or if it was just a fluke...

Because I had to return it once, and the other small issues I had, this mouse was very close to getting 3 stars for me, but because it works well for what I need (I do very little gaming anymore) and seems to outperform my other mouse which I loved, I think it deserves 4.

I admit I am a bit of a gadget lover, but that aside,  I thoroughly enjoy my DVD-50 Player, and use it all of the time.
ONE: The screen. Although the screen is small, it is bright enough to view comfortably in just about  any indoor setting, and the swivel is such that it is easy to adjust to  just about any viewing angle. The pixel quality is equal that of many  high-end laptop computers, and it offers an acceptable viewing size for an  average 2 hour film.
TWO: The controls. The mini-remote control is  functionally complete, but a bit difficult to use in poor light. Perhaps  back-lighting or glow-in-the-dark buttons would have been a good addition.  However, the size of the remote is perfect as I can slip it in my travel  bag with the player, and it takes up minimum room. It is not much larger  then a credit card. While in hotels, I use it quite a bit and feel that the  size and functionality is exceptional.
THREE: Is a laptop better? Often,  a comparison is made between this unit and a laptop computer with DVD.  However, if you already have a laptop which has sub-standard DVD support  and you do not wish to go out and get a new one, this unit is your best  choice. If you have $3000 to burn, then perhaps a high end laptop with DVD  support is the way to go, but then you have a large laptop to deal with  instead of the nicely compact DVD-50.
FOUR: A secondary DVD player. One  of the greatest uses I have found for this marvel is to simply grab it, run  over to a friend's or relative's house, and plug it in! It is always a hit  to hook it up to another's TV and offer DVD to the  "un-enlightened". Also, I can move the unit around the house and  connect it easily and quickly to TVs that don't have DVD drives hooked up  to them.
FIVE: Sound. This is probably the weakest area of the unit, but  you really can't blame the unit too much because the sound problem is  really due to the small size of the unit. Essentially there is no BASS. The  speakers tend to sound like just the tweeters from a home audio system so  the sound is very high and "tin-ey" sounding. With headphones  though, the sound is quite acceptable.
SUMMARY: I enjoy this unit and use  it almost daily. It is the smallest unit I found and offers the greatest  bang-for-the-buck, especially since the recent price drop.

I bought this little dandy after hearing about it on MacBreak Weekly. I'd been looking for a decent shower speaker for a long time, and for the price, I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try.

I've been using the Shower-Mate for a couple of weeks now, and am quite pleased with it's performance. The battery life seems to be more than sufficient. I power it off after each shower, and back on as I'm turning the water on. It's plenty loud enough that I can hear podcasts clearly over the sound of the shower, and while it won't win any awards for sound quality, music actually sounds decent.

If you're using it with an iPhone, the speaker does report it's battery life to the "batteries" section of notification center, which is a nice way to know if you'll need to charge it sometime soon.

The provided suction mount is made of good, thick rubber, and seems like it will easily survive un-mounting and remounting should you decide to take it with you on vacation.

Good seat for its size. Better than original seat for long rides. Vent hole in center of the seat aids in cool down. Almost a gel feel.
