Question: What is the price of the collection?

I bought this knowing the write speeds were very slow. Read speed is good @ 20MB/secI use it for carrying my music to play in my car and home stereo. So write speed it not an important factor for me.I also have used it for a daily backup of data files on my laptop. It is slow, but I don't notice it as I run on auto back-up.If you need to wait while copying files often, get a faster one.Summary: good price for a SLOW 32gb usb drive. Not for everyone though.SEE USB FLASH BENCHMARK test result in picture section.Update: Bench mark test results:The write speed is less than 1MB/sec depending on file size. Read speed is 20MB/sec. Very good read speed. I will post these results in the photo section later.Paid 19.99

Answer: Paid 19.99

Question: How is the quality of the speaker?

Speakers sound pretty good.  Good highs and mids.  Didn't really expect much with the small sub but it's ok.  Overall, I'm happy with this speaker system.

Question: How was the signal?

Extremely solid cable.  I can easily picture this cable lasting many, many years.  Audio quality is perfect and connection to my radio is solid and secure. Small plastic caps provided are a nice touch when not connected to the radio.  Four-foot length is perfect for connecting my Samsung smartphone to the aux-in in my Jeep. Very happy with purchase.

Question: How is the quality of the return policy?

Ok so I have now been using the rebel xti for a few months, and shot hundreds and hundreds perhaps thousands of pictures. Yes it is a good camera, and yes it will satisfy most first time SLR users needs. BUT BE WARNED, if you are planing to get serious there are better choices out there! I originally stated that I was able to shoot a number of sports (soccer, hockey, rugby) with no trouble, and I still stand by that. However even a couple hundred more dollars will get you the 30D and in my opinion its a way better deal. Its not quite as easy to use button and menu wise, but thats something you can get used to! The AF is way faster and quieter, the increase in fps is a HUGE advantage for sports, the body feels great (maybe not for small hands) and is heavier which provides balance when hand holding L series telephoto such as the 70-200 f/4L. I just recently used the 30D with the 70-200 f/4L for a collegiate soccer game and let me tell you the difference was amazing. Compared to the xti and 70-200 the AF was way way faster. It made all the difference, and  a lot more of my shots came out useable. If you have the extra money I would highly recommend the 30D over the xti. Ultimately go hold them both, but the 30D just feels better and more solid. If your shooting an elementary school game the xti is great, but if your planning on doing anything semi serious the extra couple hundred is worth it. I give this camera four stars because I wont deny that it is a a good camera, however I leave out the fifth star because it lacks that extra kick of the 30D and obviously more expensive cameras. Plus the shutter on the 30D sounds way better. lol.

Question: How does the router work?

I'm another very happy customer.  The router has great speed and coverage, and the price is great too.Minor complaints:- The tiny LED lights are ridiculously bright- The installation instructions didn't work for me on the first try, and it ended up taking me over an hour to install.  I probably had some unusual settings on my computer somewhere, but I was hoping setup would be easier.  I'm not positive, but I felt like there was a slight mismatch between the quick start guide and what I actually saw.- It took quite a bit of searching to find the setting that I needed to change for my old apple airport express to join the network so that I could use airtunes.Good points:++ I love how small and light the router is++ The packaging is quite compact, entirely biodegradable, and easy to open++ Everything else that the other 900 or so 5 star reviews say... it's trueThe lightness of the router did get me thinking... why can't it be powered by the ethernet cord?  I think they have some current, right?  Would be an awesome feature if you're listening Medialink!

Question: How heavy is the laptop?

I bought this for my girlfriend who mainly just checks her email, facebook, google, etc.  I was skeptical at first, but after a little use, I now see what the fuss is all about with these chromebooks.  They're built simple.  Not quite as well built as a macbook, but the design is similar.  If they can get a better screen on this thing, this laptop would be perfect the web user who just does the basic things.  At half the price of an ipad and with a full keyboard, I'd recommend this laptop over many others for someone who just "surfs the net".

Question: What is the status of the screen?

I have the original Fire that I was mostly happy for reading, checking email. But web surfing was only acceptable after 18 months. Some of the sites are very slow to load. I was on the fence between Fire HD 7 and Galaxy Tab 2 7 with the choice went to Fire HD. The main reason for me was HDMI although I would also like micro SD support.Web surfing is better but still no comparison to my desktop.The screen is significantly better than the original Fire. Colors are more accurate and the dynamic range is much much larger. Pictures are now more natural looking with a gradual transition from dark to bright, much closer to my calibrated monitor.I am not bothered by the ads, actually not sure where the ads are. No access to Google play is not a big deal for me. I only have a few apps loaded and that's all I need.Finally, I decided to stay with 7" size. I just can't see to need to use a 10" tablet. 7" is just about right for carrying around and big enough to properly display everything I need. If I need larger display, I have multiple monitors and TVs to do that.Edit: May 12 2013 updateThe rating was changed from 4 stars to now 5 stars because of the two following findings1. I found a way to install Chrome on Fire HD. Chrome is much faster than Silk. It can take advantage of the larger bandwidth. So the original comment on web surfing is no longer applicable.2. I was also able to install DropBox now after a little bit of searching.

Question: Is the sound clear?

I bought these speakers to replace some older Altec Lansing speakers with a subwoofer.  In short they simply outperform a lot of the more expensive 2.1 speaker sets out there.  These speakers won't annoy the neighbors any time soon, but they produce a deep bass and the sound is very clear and crisp. So if I am listening to music or playing games I am very happy with these speakers.  While other speaker sets with a subwoofer actually have the speaker cone exposed without any protection while this one is completely enclosed.  It may not be important to others, but since you usually put the subwoofer on the floor I appreciate the extra protection.

Question: How is the instruction like?

Couldn't believe when I opened this that I got an HDMI cable, a level, and a bunch of options for screwing to the back of my TV (since the screws to mount the TV had since been lost). The instructions were SUPER easy. We had it mounted in less than 15 minutes. Highly recommend VideoSecu products now. Tons of value here.

Question: How do you like the keyboard?

The good*Overall design is elegant*Quality feel. Sturdy (Most other keyboards I have found are quite flimsy in nature).*Easy access buttons on the top row are a nice feature that integrates well with the iPad.*Main arm of the attachment is very strong, and has an appropriate level oftension for its work. The ability to remove the monitor stand is a nicebonus for when I am working at a desk.*The case is sturdy enough for me to use my iPad as a laptop with no desk. I love the ability to easily detachthe iPad and use it as a stand alone device.*I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the easeof switching orientation.*I love that the case stays tightly closedwhen I have the iPad in it and am not using it. Other cases without dualside attachment struggle with this point.Things to know before purchasing:*The lock button just above the delete key is placed such that I often (90%of the time) miss the delete key and hit the lock key. I am learning not to do this, but I have had to retrain my fingers.*Same issue with the page up key. I often (95% of the time) hit the page up key instead of the question mark. Several times this has caused me to end up somewhere else in my paragraph or at the beginning of my line typing...and then I have to start over. Not crippling, but I needed to retrain my fingers.*The device is a bit cumbersome to set up because there are so many steps (though you can do so relatively quickly, but once you set it up it is a dream:swing the arm out, slide the stand back, tilt the stand down, place the monitor, make fine adjustments.*The screen angle seems a little steep to me for laptop use and depending on the height of my desk, but you do have a range of angles based on the very settings that make this more "cumbersome" to set up, which is a positive.*The keyboard does not lock in place per say, so you have to adjust the arm to have sufficient tension between the screen and the lip designed to hold the screen in place. Not a negative, just something to note.A great buy overall.

Question: How is the speed?

I am NOT a computer nerd. Now I can tell you that I just installed this and then updated my wifi devices back to my printer. The whole darn thing took maybe an hour. AND I didn't have to call ANYONE in India (or some other place where I can't communicate with them because we speak different languages). HUZZAH!!! It's up and running and while I don't think I have faster speeds (I'm on satellite--sigh) I was losing my connection when I was in my studio, so today I'll be trying that out. I'll update this review.

Question: How is result?

I bought this lens a few years back, but only recently got into things in depth enough to really give it a lot of use.Most people have echo'd the same things, but I wanted to put my agreements.The picture quality is solid, sharp, and amazing.  The lens is second to none for the price, and highly worth every penny.  You get some amazing pictures from it as long as you have a steady hand (or tripod/fixed surface).  You can't beat what you get for your 100 bucks.The only reason it didn't get five stars, and the same reason people have mentioned.  The build quality leaves a lot to be desired.  The plastic casing is pretty fragile feeling, but you know this is a case of "quality for low cost" design, and you're hopefully aware of that going in.  Just baby the lens, and you'll be fine.I highly recommend it to any photographer from beginning to advanced as a nice low cost piece to your photographic arsenal.

You can't beat what you get for your 100 bucks.The only reason it didn't get five stars, and the same reason people have mentioned. The build quality leaves a lot to be desired. The plastic casing is pretty fragile feeling, but you know this is a case of "quality for low cost" design, and you're hopefully aware of that going in. Just baby the lens, and you'll be fine.I highly recommend it to any photographer from beginning to advanced as <hl> a nice low cost piece to your photographic arsenal <hl>.

Question: What opinion do you have about the battery?

This is a real handy device for those who do not like to train in groups but still want some competition during their training/work out.I waited for some time buying it because there was no Mac support. However now that that is available there was no need to hold off any more. The device has so many function that I am still trying to find out what I can do with it. Fortunately the many discussion groups give a lot of support in that matter.There is one thing that is a bit of a down point and that is the length of the straps. My wrists are slightly bigger than the average one and I  can hardly close it.In any way from now on I have a very strict trainer that tracks all my actions.

Answer: need to hold off any more

Question: Do you have good control of the acceleration?

This is a good mouse I epically like how you can unlock the scroll while that will let you scroll through pages as fast as you want also the back buttons are good and easy to use when going back and forth in between web pages. The only down side for this mouse is the battery life is real short maybe about a week at best then you need to charge it other then that it is a nice mouse.

Question: What's the button?

It does the job, and I especially like the back light.  I was able to set this up to control my TV, cable box, roku, and even a PC attached to my machine (with a wireless usb pc remote control mouse purchased separately).  My complaint though, is that a couple of buttons are already not functioning, after only a few months.  One of those is one of the device buttons, for the DVD device, where I had programmed the Roku.  So I moved that to the Aud decive button, and now I have a 6 component remote.  More annoying was the up channel button now isn't working.  OK, so I reprogrammed the fav button just above that to act as a channel up.  Hard to give more than 3 stars though, given these issues, though the design and features are nice.  It also was some trouble to program for the Roku; it would be much better if there were a preset for this.  Since I have the Roku 2 XS, which ships with a bluetooth remote, I had to purchase the basic remote from Roku just to have something to program this with.Aside from that, no real complaints.  Some of the buttons are a little tough to read in lower light, basically black buttons with greyish text.  But the back light button takes care of that, lighting up that text in bright red.  So no need to have any doubt what you are looking at.

Question: What is the quality of support?

This remote is really great, when it works.Pros: This remote is easy to program, easy to use, and the web setup is amazing.Cons: Unfortunately the hardware is not as good as the software and user interface design. My first unit had to be returned because the tilt sensor quit. Both units I have owned are VERY finiky in the charger. Sometimes it just doesn't want to make contact and charge. Worst of all, after about a year, the buttons don't work nearly as well as when it was new. I searched online and this is a common problem. After your 1 year is up the maker will only fix it for $$$I really like the product. The user interfaces are easy and very powerful. It's a shame the hardware is nowhere near as well done.

Question: What do you think about clasp?

This is definitely a high quality product.  The leather is soft and the material on the inside feels very nice too.  The bonus is that there is a stylus holder-this was not mentioned in the description.  It holds the iPad tight and allows all ports and buttons to be accessible.  The pictures do not do it justice.  If you are on the fence about buying this product, just go ahead and do it.

Question: Is the screen good?

I love the Galaxy Tab 10.1.  I've not played around much with an iPad, so I've no point of reference as to comparisons, but I don't regret buying this tablet in the slightest.Although the iPad does indeed have a wealth more application for ios, I've found applications for everything I need to do on this tablet.  I really do believe that the open ecosystem of android devices will eventually trump the closed-system of ios.The tablet is light and is of good quality.  It feels nice in the hands.  The screen is top-notch.  Colours virtually leap off the display.  The responsiveness of the touch-screen is also bang-on.The only gripes I have is the lack of sd-slot (no big deal if you have the 32-gig version) and the shortness of the charging cord.If you are looking to get an android tablet, this is the one to get.  I would also urge you to spend extra to get the 32-gig version.

Question: What is the best color?

Very good monitors! I ordered 2 for an upgrade to 2 19" monitors I had. First day both looked awesome. However, about a week later, one of the 2 monitors i got developed a stuck pixel. I've tried various utilities to get rid of it, but to no avail. I'm not returning it as it's just 1 bad pixel on the lower right hand side of the screen and am hoping in time it works itself out. It is bright white so i know it's not a dead pixel (which would be black). I have these 2 monitors hooked up to an Intel NUC system. The Intel NUC has 1 mini displayport and 1 mini HDMI port. I had to get a cable from HDMI to mini HDMI for one of the ports, then a regular HDMI cable with an adapter from HDMI to mini-displayport... works great! Colors are very sharp.One side note... these are BIG! I didn't realize how big they were until they got put side by side on my desk and now i need a new desk to accomodate the massive amount of space in front of me.

Question: Is this drive safety?

I do IT for a living so I tend to over research my tech purchases, but this one was time well spent.  This drive is fast enough with a generous 3TB which is what I wanted for the internal storage to our family computer. I do some fairly intense video editing with Final Cut using this drive as both the system drive and the scratch disks and saw very little lag in.One concern I'd heard with some of the other high capacity drives inside iMacs is that they are too loud, so the sound levels was probably my biggest concern.  After several months of all kinds of use I have yet to ever even hear the drive doing anything.  Phew!Its a great drive and I got it for a great price!

Question: How does it compare to the other display?

Being my first tablet (I do not even use a smartphone) and a lifelong user of desktop computers, I was expecting a limited, clunky, and slow device. I was wrong, the tablet worked right out of the box without issues. WiFi only required the router password before connecting for the first time.  The performance is great, it has plenty of storage, the touch screen is very responsive, the interface is very easy to learn, and the image / text quality is superb. Battery life is great, even with WiFi, Bluetooth, and apps running.  I already tested the Bluetooth and USB connectivity (using an OTG adapter) with some industrial sensors and it works great. The tablet is highly configurable and extendable through custom apps.The Google play store has most if not all the apps you will ever want, and if it does not have it, you can write your own with several free developing environments available for android.I was looking at a comparable Windows 8 tablet but the Nexus is made for a touch interface and has a much more robust and mature environment for a portable device.

Question: How are the bass?

These speakers ROCK. I've tried Cyber Acoustic products against Logitech and Altec Lansing, and these speakers are by far the best in their category.Firstly, the satellite tower design includes two speakers per tower, which helps distribute sound over a greater area than with single speaker designs. This greatly improves the listening experience, as the "sweet spot" area has widened so listeners perceive full-sounding stereo from a variety of locations in a small room. Additionally this avoids the pitfalls of "small" computer speakers which sound small, like music playing from a tin box. (the CA speakers 1 level below these with a single speaker design by comparison sound MUCH worse).Secondly, the bass and speakers are very powerful for their size, and have little to no distortion even at full-volume.The sub-woofer volume is adjustable independently of the other speakers. This lets you boost bass for music genres with a lot of low-frequency sounds, such as electronic/dance or hip-hop/rap, and likewise decrease bass for genres like classical and acoustic where the bass could overwhelm the instruments or vocals.The cord is conveniently long ans contains a circular volume control with a headphone jack and aux input.NOTE: I have two of these speaker systems because a roommate dropped a satellite speaker and broke the plastic foot. They are plenty sturdy if you respect them and should last a long time if handle them carefully. I guess that also shows how good these speakers are, that they broke and I bought them again.I'm a recording enthusiast, and these speakers satisfy my needs. They are not studio monitors but it's definitely possible to create good mixes on them. They take up considerably less space than professional studio monitors and are hundreds of dollars cheaper, but the sound quality is not significantly worse than monitors I've tried. They are easily 10x better than integrated speakers in TVs, laptops, etc. and they are a few steps above every speaker set in the less than $70 price range.

Question: How about profile?

From the elegant box to the soft rubber like finish and everything in between there is little lacking on this case. The set up with the iPad opposite to the keyboard and with the 360 degree rotation is nothing short of brilliant. Landscape or portrait, choose your angle or flip the top over for tablet use, no other case is so versatile.This case is light and sturdy. All the edges are smooth and clean. The iPad fits perfectly and securely inside the cover. All the access points fit perfectly along the edge of the iPad.The keyboard is of great quality. Easy bluetooth connection. Long lasting battery charge. The chiclet type keys are firm but sensitive and sized for the slim or fat fingers alike. The screen closes firmly with a clic.The screen support is light but strong and allows the screen to sit at different angles while it rests close against the keyboard.The right case for light and medium duty. Pull it out of your bag, briefcase or back pack and people will notice and ask questions. This has been my experience.No iPad case is perfect but this one is the close runner-up.

The set up with the iPad opposite to the keyboard and with the 360 degree rotation is nothing short of brilliant. Landscape or portrait, choose your angle or flip the top over for tablet use, no other case is so versatile. This case is light and sturdy. All the edges are smooth and clean. The iPad fits perfectly and securely inside the cover. All the access points fit perfectly along the edge of the iPad. The keyboard is of great quality. Easy bluetooth connection. Long lasting battery charge. The chiclet type keys are firm but sensitive and sized for the slim or fat fingers alike. The screen closes firmly with a clic. The screen support is light but strong and allows the screen to sit at different angles while it rests close against the keyboard. The right case for light and medium duty. Pull it out of your bag, briefcase or back pack and people will notice and ask questions. This has been my experience. <hl> No iPad case is perfect but this one is the close runner -up. <hl>

Question: How much are the sharpness binoculars?

I learned photography back in the early 1970's on a 35 mm film SLR with a 50mm f1.8 prime lens.  In my opinion, a standard prime lens is the very best way to learn photography and is a welcome addition to any photographer's lens collection.This little gem of a lens from Nikon has to be their best "bang for the buck" in their entire catalog.  It is extremely sharp and fast and a pleasure to use.  Putting this lens on my D3100 has made that camera come alive.  It is significantly sharper, faster and better built than the kit 18-55 lens.  Images taken with this lens are sharper right out of the camera than images that have been post-processed with the kit lens.  Also, I am a natural light shooter and this lens is fantastic in natural light.I was lucky to get this lens for $199 from Amazon as it has been in short supply/high demand recently.  However, after shooting with this amazing lens, I would have gladly paid more for it.Bottom line - I will be keeping this lens on my camera the majority of the time, it is that good.  I highly recommend you get one of these little gems!Update:  I have been using this wonderful lens for 20 months and am even more impressed with it now than I was when I wrote the initial review.  Producing incredibly sharp images and incredibly shallow depth of field, this lens is my first choice for making artistic photographs.  I still can't believe it is under $200.

Question: How was the sound?

I've owned several brands of IEMs that I use mostly for the gym and listening to music at work without disturbing coworkers.Most IEMs last at least a year or two and then the damage from pulling, sweat, wear and tear etc kill them, which is to be expected. So I purchased these hoping that they would be more durable because of the construction and item description.I was wrong.It's only been 4 months and the bottom part of the cable already causes issues and will only work when held tightly, as headphones will do after years of use, not 4 months.The sound quality is just alright on these. I am a music producer so I know good from bad, and these are as meh as you can get. Not great bass, mids are decent, highs are good. However these stay in my ears worse than almost any IEMs I've ever tried, regardless which ear pieces I use.

Question: How can I get light in the bathroom of this hotel?

I bought this little switch to expand my home LAN. There is no really setup, just plugged it to one of my router's ports, hooked up the power supply and it was ready to go. It's eight ports are great, you can use any one as the up-link without any special configuration. I am using six out of its eight ports, one for up-link and the others for attached devices. It perfectly detects the speed each device is capable to achieve and the LED's illuminated accordingly. It is very well build, has a solid and durable feeling. No complains, at all.

Question: Is the sound decent?

Don't be fooled by the high star ratings on this piece of junk---the sound is unbelievably poor, muffled and tinny, and the earbuds themselves have to be shoved in your ears to stay on.  I've previously bought several Panasonic earbuds( RP-HV152 ) and by comparison those sounded glorious( although the price has gone way up and longevity is an issue).  These sorry earbuds are a waste even at the low price.

Question: How does the device work?

I got this for Christmas and loved it immediately.  I waited to review it, because glitches and problems generally show up after the excitement has worn off.  I've had a couple of thoughts of "I wish," but nothing that would make me lower my rating.  Here's what I like--and what I don't:This screen is absolutely beautiful.  I wanted it mostly for books, but videos and content are flawless on it.  The books are beautiful and crisp, too, with plenty of options to change brightness and color.  This cuts down on eye strain.  There is a glare, in bright sun.  This is worse than a regular kindle, but not as bad as most tablets.  I was expecting much worse, with the HD screen, so I've just put it down as the best possible at this time.I wanted this because I'm in college and constantly needing books.  It's faster, easier, and cheaper to download kindle books than to try to buy them in a physical copy, especially when I need  some of the more obscure titles for my classes.  I still have books that I want for myself in hardback form, but nothing beats kindle for college!The build is sturdy, but light.  I don't feel like I'm going to break it if I touch it, but it's comfortable to hold.A lot of people complain about not being able to get Google play content and try to find workarounds, but I don't need that, so it's not an issue for me.  I'd rather buy from Amazon, anyway.  Past experience has taught me that their customer service and quality is superior.  If you aren't like me and you want to be able to access absolutely everything in the world on one device, it might be a drawback.  For me, it's not a problem.  I haven't come across anything I need that Amazon doesn't offer--usually cheaper and/or better then the other guys.I am not very techno-savvy, so it's a plus for me that this device is easy and ready to use right out of the box.  I signed in to Amazon and had everything I've bought in the past at my fingertips.One MINOR drawback is the memory.  You'd think 16gb was enough, but it's only enough if you keep your content in the cloud.  That's fine, if you aren't traveling, but if you find yourself without wifi access you cannot get to your content.  I downloaded a season of a tv show, knowing I would be without wifi, and it really ate up the memory, slowing my kindle fire down a lot.  After watching, I removed the episodes from the device and the slowdown disappeared.  I found myself wishing for more memory, then.  Most of the time, though, I rely on the cloud and 16gb is fine.  I just have to remember that small limitation.  (If I were buying one, I'd go with the 32gb model, personally, and have a little more room to download content for the times I'll be without access.  This was a gift, so I cannot really complain.)  I love the cloud and use it for most things, anyway, so it's a minor issue.  The only time memory is a problem is when I'm traveling.  For some, that might be a bigger issue than it is for me, as it's a portable device.  On my daughter's tablet, which has expandable memory, we are able to download a lot more content and take it with us.  Entertainment is never out of reach, even without internet.  All in all, though, my kindle is easier to work, has a better screen, and is organized better.  Everything has drawbacks.I haven't found anything in the three weeks I've had my kindle fire that would make it anything less than a great value.  I definitely recommend this device.  It has been very helpful and entertaining.
