Looking at a 4 bay compared to the 2 bay....

I like the options of the 312 series.. but don't have the funds for a 4 bay unit. This is for personal use at home....

Yes I would. The device does everything I need it to do. I can only hope that developers will continue to add real useful things in the future.

Are there problems, sure. But my Galaxy S4 wasn't super awesome either.

I think with a more powerful device some of the small amount of lags (very rare though) will be solved.. i.e. the podcast player will be better I think.

Might want to correct your title. You got a Savi 720. The Savi 7xx products all have the same features but are different headset styles. I have the 730. Anyways, don't forget to install the Lync Smart Presence software, which is on Plantronics downloads page. Here is the link:

http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/smart-presence-windows

That will enable it so that if you are on a call on your deskphone, using your headset, you still show as "in a call" on Lync. Or your cell.

Corrected.

😄 Thank you. I'm just kind of CDO about that kind of stuff. 😛

Nice!

I find the 486 pretty boring. But I would love to have some small computers (with console serial outputs or ethernet in some cases) made from some old systems like the Zilog Z80 and Motorola M68K derivatives or other less common procs. They would be a lot of fun to use as true, hardware-based retro gaming platforms. Just for fun, not practical at all. But interesting.

So my iPhone 5s was having an issue with its battery and/or its ability to charge and hold a charge. I worked on it for about two weeks and finally gave up that it was not something that I would be able to address and so made an appointment this afternoon to take it to the Apple Store in Stamford, Connecticut to see if there was anything that could be done for my year old phone that was still perfectly functional except for this long charge time and rapid discharge time issue.

The whole experience was very good. They got me right in when they said that they would. My attendant, Robin, looked at the phone and asked me a few questions and determined that nothing was diagnostically wrong and that they could not repair it or figure out what was wrong. So without further ado he swapped out my phone and got me underway with a brand new iPhone 5s that worked perfectly.

I was not expecting to come away with a new phone. Very happy with Apple and the Apple Store. They took care of me and now I feel confident traveling with my iPhone as we head to the convention in Austin tomorrow. I really needed a reliable, long lasting phone and now I have one again.

Thanks Robin and Apple on a great customer experience day.

Well I just went and did a creepy drive around to the 3 local branches of my cell provider. two have lines for the 6 already, one does not. I will now end my thread-jacking and agree that we do very often forget to appreciate good service. It's nice.

On a side note, if i make it in line early enough, my iphone 6+ will be nice too.

@scottalanmiller said:

@IRJ cool. How is it working?

Pretty well. I have only used it with friends and family. Not with any actual clients yet, but the speed is pretty good and its just as configurable as UltraVNC. Many different settings can be tweaked for slow connections or other special circumstances.

The Yealink phones have an EHS that works with most headsets.

The little bit higher end ones do. The T40 series do. None of the T20s do though.

Almost Steampunk.

If it came in brown and gold...

Not bad. Sounds pretty interesting.

The UC is built for mobile and PCs/Macs. The CS is the deskphone and mobile unit (you actually can use it with the PC too). Again, don't mix 'em up, lest ye be very disappointed.

@ajstringham I think I know what I will buy with my new PC in a few months!

Seriously, you can't go wrong with these. These were a giveaway last year at Spiceworld Austin. @Nic has a set too, so he can attest, I'm sure, to their quality as well. They seriously do rock! They had a 3v3 LoL tournament of Spiceheads v. Spiceworks. Spiceheads got destroyed...didn't help that Sean was a very high level and Sarah was actually RANKED! @Nic nor I had ever played, although I'd seen people play a little bit once or twice. In the end, yeah...

I can honestly say I've never used an iPad Air, so I cannot compare. We use Mac's at church for multimedia and I just don't see what the hype is.

I just like the idea of having the option to TOUCH but also mouse and keyboard. Basically boils down to that. My review copy of my Alienware gaming laptop arrives today with Windows 7 and no touch screen. I'll try to be unbiased about not having touch in my review. 🙂

I received my AlienWare yesterday. What a beast:

Intel Core i7 4700MQ 2.4 GHz
16.0 GB DDR3L SDRAM
1024.0 GB 5400.0 rpm Hard Drive, 80 GB Solid-State Drive
14.0-Inch Screen with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M with 2GB GDDR5

This thing could replace my desktop if I didn't run Windows Media Center to extend and stream in my home.

The Surface Pro 3 is more fun to use but this thing is a power horse. Halfway thought that this could be my go to device with an 8" tablet being my, well, tablet. But it is heavy, bulky and more suited for games and it will actually stream with Steam from my main PC quite well. Was very impressed.

But back to the Surface Pro 3...really can't go wrong with it, So much, well, "sexier" and easier to transport.

@alexntg The G15, G19, G510 and such are all very similar keyboards. The G19 and G19S are a little clickier feeling than the G510, which is a very mushy rubber dome. I don't have a ton of hands on with the G15, but I'd say it's almost the same as the G510, just a little stiffer. @Minion-Queen has my old G510, and the keys never really got softer on it. AS far as the Razer green switches, never actually got to play with one. I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation!

It's interesting to hear others opinions as I used one for a bit and didn't like it. However to be fair I am comparing it to an Ipad mini and the ipad just beat it in all areas that I need a tablet for hands down. Though to be fair I use these devices differently than you guys do.

I used to love to jump on the "tease Apple users" but working as a solo IT shop manager, I know there is a device for every person. I prefer the Microsoft Ecosystem but I appreciate what the iPad offers my users. I am not against Android but we only have iOS or Windows Phones/Windows tablets here.
