Will you prefer it over the Joby Gorillapad? If yes, how is it better? If no, what makes gorillapad better?

Yes, I prefer the Pedco UltraPod II for it was very stable on table tops. Also it is very compact such that I can fold it up to fit in my camera back pack. The added feature which drew me to this item was the Velcro strap that allowed me to strap tripod with my DSLR camera to railings, chairs and poles. The strapping was stable for the DSLR camera and there was plenty of room to move the camera to focus on my subject. This was a great buy. I would also recommend using a remote control for the camera to give you more flexability with locations to strap the camera. I used the remote control and tripod strapped to a rail for steady evening shots on a cruise ship. Yes, I prefer the Pedco UltraPod II for it was very stable on table tops.

The Pedco tripod is solid & u can Velcro it to the back part of a chair or table top.

My autistic son uses the tripod and he has found it to be simple to set up, collapse and store. This is the primary reason we enjoy this product and recommend it.

No, sorry. I've only been using the original but agree it's not great....needs more padding. I've been thinking about how I can add some but haven't done anything yet.

Personally i would go with the trackpad because mouse doesnt have touch click capabilities, the touch on the mouse Only lets you scroll

You and I are looking for the same touchpad!!! I don't believe anyone is making the multi-touch point pad we want yet (at least not at an affordable price); this one is a two points of touch pad, so you can do limited gesturing only; I do use it with Windows 8 on a desktop that I dual boot with Windows 7. It's a nice change for my right hand since I use a normal mouse with scroll wheel at work.

I own both. They're both great Styluses if used only for the Stylus aspect of it. If you're looking into Pencil by 53, you're most likely wanting the erase functionality as well (when paired with the Paper app). If you ONLY want a stylus, this is still a great option, but you're paying for features you may never use.

Unfortunately no. I have a hatred for touchpads as well. But it rarely causes any issues. I will say this computer in general is fantastic. Super fast, very reliable. Great looking too.

Ive used the hawk pads before i bought a set of the stoptech pads. I think the stoptech pads actually have better bite than the hawk hps in my opinion. Though the hawk pads did last a pretty long time. I cant say how long these pads last because they have only been on for a few weeks so far. :) I think for the price they are great though.

I LOVED my SteelSeries Qck pad but then discovered the CS-Hyde-C4-NGen-Mousepad-Copper (found on Amazon)....which I like even more. It's about as slick as a mousepad can get. I had more control with the SteelSeries pad, but as my wrist/fingers strengthened, the Ngen was the better choice for me. I bought the very thin version of the Ngen which costs quite a bit less than the one with cushioning, but by keeping it on top of the SteelSeries pad, I have the best of both worlds so to speak.

Touchpad is very good. Power cord...well, its long and does the job. Its not designed like Apple or anything. But, you overlook that when you think about that a computer that is 3x more powerful than comparable Apple is 50% less at least. Power cord wasn't considered when I purchasing. :)

I don't have the same opinion as Jennifer Selstrom. The sticky pad s are fantastic. I can reuse mine still and I've used the unit EVERY NIGHT! The unit is powerful enough for any ache or pain I have. Sorry you are having trouble with yours, Jennifer. I ordered four extra sets of pads with mine, and I have not used up the first one yet. I guess it's all how you use it and store it. I aso bought a tube of the sticky stuff to apply to the pads bec a use I read that I would need it. Hsven't opened the tube yet, either!

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

I have the Rubbermaid and I love it. The reason I went for it was the bigger pad - I have a lot of cleaning area, but it might not fit behind a toliet. The pad is thick and holds a lot of fluid. If I were you, I'd compare the pads of each product and see which you'd prefer to be scrubbing with. It's really the only difference.

I can't speak to the meguiars or chemical guys pads, but I really liked the 3M pads. I still use all of them and I've had the set for almost a year. The one downside to them would be if you don't have an orbital buffer that already has the Velcro on it. The Velcro applicator is good for one use, but the sticky backing quickly wears out. This really wasn't a problem for me as I just super glued it to my cheap black and decker buffer that I only use for waxing.

I have had some that do and others that don't I am not sure about those exact ones. The pro loom makes nicer hotpads.

I favored the touchpad and being over bluetooth for the application I'm using it on. Overall I'm quite happy with it for the price. Hope that helps :)

I agree with the other reviewer as far as drawing or writing long hand. The rubber tip produces friction. However, it is much easier to use the virtual keyboard since there's more control over what key is being pressed.
