The new Best Entry Level Everyday Desktop!
on June 1, 2023
Posted by: Bren
This new desktop tower from Best Buy offers everything your average use-case prospective desktop buyer would want in a desktop that offers blistering fast speeds while maintaining many useful, albeit antiquated features such as a DVD/CD-ROM disk drive.
This computer is the latest upgrade I have offered my grandparents and have enjoyed getting their feedback on it. They were long-time owners and users of an ancient Windows XP operating system (OS) computer that was under threat of confiscation by an archeological society to place in a museum. They were desperately in need of an upgrade but stubborn until I showed them the benefits and features of this PC.
First of all, with the OS installed on a solid-state drive (SSD) hard drive and with 8GB of random-access memory (RAM), this thing is pants sizzling fast from startup to shut down. Everything including program load times, menu navigation, and browser navigation are all fast as can be with the stats of this computer including the 10-core Intel 13th gen Core i5 CPU chip in this computer. Although there is a price to pay for these speeds, trust me when I say that this desktop is essentially demonstrative of what is usably a daily driver for most productivity and multitasking activities on computers these days. What sold them is the fact that, unlike last year’s entry-level Dell Inspiron desktop that still had the OS installed on a spinning disk hard drive, everything is ready to go right here on a commendably large 512 GB SSD hard drive to boot! This is plenty of storage for most people's needs but is easily expandable if need be, with the cheap digital and physical storage available these days!
Another easy sell of this PC was the fact that included here is a great selection of input/output (I/O) connectivity for both modern and older devices! A USB-C port is present here for the connection of devices like modern portable disk drives with USB-C cables. A full-size SD card slot is here for offloading your SD cards from cameras and more. Another aspect that made this an easy sell was the included wired mouse and keyboard. All we had to do was get an HDMI cable for their current monitor and we had them up and running in no time! Also present here is the provision for wireless internet hookup with Wi-Fi or the built-in ethernet port allows for physical connection to your internet router.
The last thing I wanted to discuss was the form factor and build quality of this computer. While the peripherals (keyboard and mouse) are a little bit flimsy in their build quality, the tower itself is excellent. It is less than 13” tall, 12” deep, 6” wide, and weighs less than 12 pounds which makes it perfect for even the smallest of desktop computer setups! Also, the mist blue color of the tower is really this almost pearlescent gray in our lighting and looks really really good!
Altogether, what is being offered here is probably the best iteration I have seen in the last few years of a truly entry-level desktop in today’s economy being offered with excellent, higher-level appointments like SSD storage that will make this thing feel blazing fast for years to come. Thanks for reading this review and let me know if it was helpful!

Incredible audio, mic needs tweaking!
on May 31, 2023
Posted by: Bren
If you need a quick summary for this review what I have said above is true. The audio is bar none compared to the previous 5 other Logitech headsets I have owned and reviewed. The only thing that I am having difficulty with at this time and that might just require further tweaking in the Ghub software is the mic audio quality. Even with Blue Voice on, I am getting really scratchy output that is grating on my friends’ ears while we are gaming. I should mention that this is while using the 2.4Ghz USB 2.4 wireless connection. I have not yet tested the quality of the mic while going over Bluetooth or 3.5mm audio jack connection, but for me, considering my daily driver is a Logitech 535 headset that is a third the cost, I would expect the mic quality to at least match that while running similar settings in the Ghub app while over 2.4Ghz connection. Most pro level gamers or enthusiasts will be running standalone microphones anyways, but I feel that on a $250 headset, I would expect better in the way of mic quality.
The build quality of the headset itself is a glorious thing to behold. Every contour and detail of the metal frame supports, earcups, and headband speaks to quality. It comes with a nice lineup of accessories and cords too, including another pair of earcups which is spectacular. All of this is packaged nicely in an environmentally friendly package with minimal plastics in the packaging except for the most critical regions, like the plastic covers of the Logitech logs on the outside of the earcups.
The battery life on the headset is exactly as advertised, I charged it when it came about a week ago and I have been using it nearly every day for at least 4 or 5 hours and I have yet to run out of battery! I am very impressed by that. I am usually around 80% volume with a mixed-use of gaming with comms through Discord, Spotify listening, and YouTube videos. Something I wanted to note is that I had to completely reinstall the GHub software to be able to have the software detect this headset and get a reading on the battery life.
The game I always test my audio with is the game Hunt Showdown. This game is a tough, pro-level shooter that requires excellent audio in order to make use of the binaural audio the developers have implemented in the game. This headset more than exceeds in this task and actually has such detailed audio on the lows especially that I have heard bass booms from explosions and notes from the theme songs that I have never heard before! Music is also another stand-out for this headset. I have not enjoyed my music on any headset I have reviewed more than this headset, and that is with EQ settings flat right out of the box!
Altogether, this headset gets a solid 4/5 recommendation from me with the mic in mind, but I will rate it as 5 stars overall since it is such a minor complaint compared to what people will really care about in terms of the audio quality from the headphones. I think that in this price range, there are headsets that might have more intuitive microphone setups and I would like to see that present here. Otherwise, it is an amazing headset bound to please any user!

Just step on this advanced clinically tested smart scale for instant feedback and highly accurate weight & weight trends, BMI, advanced full body composition (body fat and water percentage, plus muscle and bone mass), visceral fat index and cardiovascular insights to help you stay on top of your health. Every weigh-in appears in the Withings app automatically, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth sync. And unlike many smart scales, with Wi-Fi sync, you don~t have to have your phone with you when you weigh-in to synchronize your data.

Why did I wait so long to get one?
on May 28, 2023
Posted by: Bren
The title of my review says it: after using this for the last week and already realizing how amazing and simple for use and accountability this scale is, I am left wondering, why did I take so long to get one?
This takes the typically arduous (and, sometimes, embarrassing) process of weighing yourself and then tracking it in the Health app (for iOS) users and totally puts it on autopilot with the easy connection to the Withings app! I am already enjoying watching the trend lines of my body stats plot out and I am going to continue to enjoy it as I start working on some of my weight loss and workout goals!
Something to know, first of all, is that this new lineup of Withings smart scales is FSA/HSA eligible. This will be great for those of you wanting to use those expiring FSA funds on something beneficial to your health. Another thing to know from my experience is that while this can be a little finicky to set up with the app at first if you are any kind of tech savvy at all, you will figure it out quickly as the app guides you through the connection and Wi-Fi setup process! The only hang-up I had in the whole process was the firmware update for the scale which I had to restart when it weirdly froze in the middle of it. I just restarted it by removing one of the AAA batteries from the scale (included) and starting the setup process over again. After that, the rest of the setup was easy and I was up and rolling, able to send my wife the invite link from the app so we could get both of our profiles set up!
Now, using this scale with two or more users: could not be easier! When you step on the scale, it takes your weight and before it records it, it flashes your name up on the screen with a prompt to shift your weight right or left to move to the next name if needed to continue the setup! My wife and I are able to effortlessly change who is being tracked when we each use the scale and we are both successfully logging our stats in our separate Withings app profiles on each of our phones!
Another thing I wanted to mention is that I think that Withings needs to update the pictures on the product page for the device because the screen images look WAAAYYY better than the old black and pixelated boxes on the previous screen. I actually was astonished when I first used this scale at how nice the color screen looks listing out all of my metrics like weight, muscle mass, body fat, etc.
Altogether, this specific scale at this price point is going to offer what most people need in the way of basic body composition stats and smart tracking. Some are going to want to opt for the nearly double-in-price model that “does it all” including scanning nerves, but I did not feel that was necessary for my present health standing. Thanks for reading and I hope this review helps with some good pointers!

An amazing tool for becoming self-aware!
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: Bren
I have been a long-time Apple Watch user and am also a Registered Nurse. Suffice it to say, I LOVE keeping track of my vital signs like my HR and SPO2 throughout the day! The only deficit I found in my utilization of the Apple Watch is that as power efficient as it is, it will not make it through a 24-hour day and therefore has to go on the charger each night when I go to bed. Another deficit of the Apple Watch is that despite the alternative bands I have purchased and used with it, it is still a rather industrial and techy-looking accessory and does not go well with business professional attire in many circumstances.
Enter the Oura Ring: Here is a health metric tracking device that not only holds up to its advertised role like a champ for almost a week straight of use between charges, but it is also a very good-looking accessory that does not particularly clash with any attire I wear on a weekly basis.
The process of ordering the ring was really cool. I was able to get the free sizing kit (ring sizes 6-13) sent straight to me, and once I had lived with the size 12 ring on my left index finger for a full 24 hours, I determined that was the preferred size I would like to go with. Of note, it is really important that you use the sizing kit, because the size while close to traditional wedding band style ring sizes differs slightly due to the sensor nubs on the inside of the ring. You may also find as you are running through your 24-hour testing period with the ring that you want to try a different size ring on a different finger. For example, I had started with the size 12 on my right index finger but quickly found that since that is my dominant hand, the ring was interfering too much with using my phone and other annoying little tasks. It was much better suited to my non-dominant hand!
Once done with choosing my ring size, I was able to log in to the Oura ring size portal with my account email, and the ring arrived at my doorstep with 3-day UPS shipping in very discrete, non-descript external packaging.
The process from the arrival and opening of the package entailed some very easy setup using the Oura App on my iPhone. I was prompted through the whole setup and was even made aware of a firmware update available on the main page of the app.
Since then, getting used to this ring in my daily routine has been really cool. It takes it a few weeks to get a good idea of your baseline heart rate (HR), sleep, and SPO2, so just give it some time to get used to you. You can spot-check your HR anytime just by going into the app and tapping the heart icon on the Heart Rate card. You will be instructed to hold still while it determines your heart rate.
An important thing to note is that as of the writing of this review, the ring does not carry the ability to “broadcast” your heart rate real time to devices like a Peloton Bike. It can communicate across your Apple Health app to look at the HR tracking during your exercise period retroactively, but you aren’t going to get a real time monitoring of your HR on the Peloton bike like you would with your Apple Watch or Whoop if I am not mistaken.
One of my favorite aspects of this ring is tracking my quality of sleep. Thus far, I have found that the ring seems highly accurate in tracking my restfulness, nighttime wakeups, and overall quality of sleep. The other night, it was way too hot in our bedroom, and I was tossing and turning. I remember thinking to myself, “The ring is probably going to show me tossing a lot and waking up”. Sure enough, it did! It also demonstrated how, as compared to the prior night, I had far less deep sleep due to this tossing and turning and experienced quite a lot of light sleep in its place. This definitely reflected in my performance during the day after as I was a little more sluggish and less refreshed when waking up. This ring can serve as a really good tool to help you address your sleeping habits, including factors like whether you are drinking caffeine too late in the day. Are you not sleeping in a cool enough room or comfortable enough bed and therefore tossing and turning a bunch? The ring has a tracking feature on the app where you “tag” when you drink your caffeinated beverages or consume other forms of caffeine which allows you to get a readout from the app if it thinks caffeine may have reduced your restfulness during your sleep. Another thing I like about the ring’s sleep tracking is that it tracks your naps really well too, and it will accordingly increase your readiness score and sleep score on the app! So, you have a bad night of sleep? Take a 25-minute cat nap to perk up a bit and the app recognizes that and updates your score to encourage your efforts!
A couple things to take note of. You really will want to read through the article linked in the app “Caring for your Oura Ring” .There are a lot of important tips on there for keeping the ring in tip-top condition, such as trying to keep the battery level from dropping below 30% and making sure not to leave it on the charger for more than a week straight (even that is pushing it). As high-tech as this ring is, it is still depending on a rechargeable battery and requires user awareness if you want to maximize the battery life of your new ring. I have found that I like to take both my wedding band and my Oura ring off when I shower so that 20-30 minutes of shower and clean up time at night is perfect for placing the Oura ring on its charger and getting it topped off while I do my personal hygiene routine before bed!
Another thing to take note of is that the stainless finish of the ring I received is prone to smudging and fingerprint collection. Keep that thing wiped off if you want it to shine and glisten in all its handsome countenance from your digit!
Altogether, this ring gets my highest recommendation as a fitness and health tracking device! You are not going to be upset you bought this. Just be aware fo the $5.99 monthly subscription fee for the ongoing app and tracking features so that it doesn’t surprise you! Best wishes and good health to you!

A best-in-class home or small biz security setup!
on May 3, 2023
Posted by: Bren
First of all, I have to say that if this is your first indoor/outdoor wired local storage network setup that you have looked at, you have come to the right place. As you do your research, you are going to find that what Swann is offering here with this Master Series Security system is practically all inclusive and that these cameras are some of the lowest profile yet highest image quality examples currently on the market. As a matter of fact, these might be one of the first ones that I would highly recommend for the inside or outside of a retail or small business environment! The reason behind this is yes, you are reading it here, NO SUBSCRIPTION FEES required!
The way a lot of the competitors on the market get you is that even when they have a local recording storage solution available, that still want to pester and nag you about signing up for their cloud storage solutions or try to get you to upgrade to higher-end security plans; playing on your fear and feelings of insecurity to try to make a buck. That is not what you will find here. With the pre-installed 2TB hard disk drive for storage, you can select 24/7 continuous recording or go with Swann’s True Detect heat/motion triggered recordings. They advertise up to 180 days and beyond of recording storage and truly I can believe it! They also offer a 1-year limited warranty so that if you get a lemon and you are beyond they typical Best Buy 14-45 day return window, you don’t have to have anxiety about being stuck with a defective item; Swann backs this up and will replace it within one year of purchase if you have problems. As a family man who has finite resources and discretionary funds to spend on a security system, that is precisely the assurance I need to make sure I feel good about this purchase. If you are looking for cloud style recordings storage, they do offer a subscription plan and/or allow you to connect your DropBox cloud storage account with this security system! That is some excellent flexibility in my book!
The 4K footage looks amazing on my 4K TV I have the network video recorder (NVR) hooked up too. I also love that I can monitor my camera system with my smart phone since I don’t always want to have to belly up to the TV and use the NVR system to look through footage. I also appreciate that this has a method for saving video clips with your Alexa or Google Assistant set up!
One of the crucial things that must be mentioned is that, yes, this is a hard-wired set up, but the only cable you will be running to each camera back to the NVR is an ethernet cable! These cameras have PoE otherwise known as Power of Ethernet! That is so fantastic as opposed to some of the setups that require you to run video cable back to the NVR AND figure out an AC plug in power source for each individual camera! For ease of setup for a hard-wired camera, this is about as good as it gets as it goes for ease of set up and reliability. Part of this is that it is relatively easy to run ethernet cable through attics, walls, etc. with simple installation tools. You can look this up on YouTube or find a local security installer to walk you through this if need be. Just note that this has a temperature lower limit of -22F for reliable functioning, so you might want to skip this if you live in those colder climates. The cameras are good up to 131 degrees F, so if you are in a hotter climate just try to keep your mounting positions out of the way of direct sunlight for those scorchers of days: your recorded video quality will thank you too!
Overall, this is truly an amazing deal for a local data NVR style hardwired security system. Hope this review has helped bring forward some good thoughts and aided your purchasing decision!

A technological advancement in the Sous-Vide space
on April 27, 2023
Posted by: Bren
This Sous vide cooking device is sure to elevate your cooking experience due to its ability to connect via Bluetooth AND wifi to the Anova app! This means, theoretically, you could make a quick trip around the corner to the grocery store to pick up some forgotten ingredients and get on your Anova app to check and see how your cooking progress is coming along! For dedicated Anova fans, that improvement alone could make the switch from the 1st generation or 2nd generation worth it to them!
This is a very sold, hefty piece of cooking equipment with excellent construction out of solid, long lasting feeling metals like stainless steel. I think that with this full size version, the attraction might be its ability to cook at such as huge capacity; even a 5 gallon container wouldn’t be a circulation challenge for this beast. The fact that it is not difficult to take apart and clean really helps maintain interest in it too as a sort of entry-level stand-alone sous-vide unit!
Hope some of these points help to encourage your purchasing decision, bon-chef!

Bulky, but very convenient for styling curly hair!
on April 27, 2023
Posted by: Bren
• The setup for wife was one that was easy to assemble, very intuitive with both the instructions and the online videos. The pieces clipped together easily. It is definitely a highly bulky machine though and takes up both counterspace and cabinet space.
• Initial use: Very easy to follow the directions: You just turn on the power and then adjust your settings according to the recommendations for your hair style and desired styling.
• To keep in mind, the wand is very bulky and heavy and the hose is very thick, so it is definitely a lot to use for a dryer. With my wife’s long and very curly hair, her arms were getting tired holding the wand up for so long to get a dry.
• A note from my wife is that although the unit is bulky as is the hose, you still can only get so many strands of hair in the dryer at a time, maybe about a half-dollar size, so it is still a lengthy process.
• My wife’s hair is 26” from scalp to tip while curly, so for her thicker hair, it is important to keep in mind that this is a very lengthy process, but she still found it to be amazing! This is the only hair dryer that she has every used that was this efficient at drying her hair and straightening it than anything else she has ever used! It only took her a few passes on her hair to figure out what tension and temperature she needed to use to achieve straight, dry hair. She had to go up to the highest tension (7) in order to achieve her results.

Amazing for owners of huge DVD collections!
on April 16, 2023
Posted by: Bren
To start off this review, I have to be honest that this is for a niche sort of buyer. This Panasonic Blu-Ray player is for the dedicated movie lover who has upgraded to a 4K TV and wants to enjoy their huge collection of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs that they are unwilling to let go of. It is additionally for those who already have streaming available via their smart TV, Apple TV, Fire Stick, or other similar device since this Blu-Ray player is not a Smart Device capable of streaming services on its own. With that said, here has been my experience so far.
First of all, set up is as intuitive and as easy as can be expected with a simple HDMI and power plug connected device. Pass-through audio to my sound bar works very well and this player appears to support HDMI pass through for audio control and power controls as well to my TV remote without any fuss.
Now the part you are waiting for: how do my old DVDs and Blu-Ray movies look upscaled to 4K digital resolution? Well, they look absolutely amazing! Rewatching my old Blu-Ray copies of Gladiator, Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, etc. has left me astounded. I compared the image from the Blu-Ray upscaled version to streaming in 4K directly from Amazon Prime on a couple of the movies and I found, to my layperson eyes, that the image appeared to have the same fidelity on my 65” 4K OLED TV! This is exactly what I was hoping for when it comes to enjoying my old movie collection. I am very glad to have this as it now means that when I get a hankering to watch one of my old, classic favorites, I need not rent it on Amazon Prime or search endlessly through a half-dozen other streaming services to find it. I can just pop in one of my old movies and enjoy the high-resolution, high-quality image experience!
Thanks for reading and I hope this helps to increase your confidence in making this purchase!

Turned my 10th Gen iPad into a laptop!
on March 7, 2023
Posted by: Bren
This highly ruggedized, tough Bluetooth keyboard case for my iPad has been perfect for my needs. I have been working through a process of minimalistic living in my life, and one of the things I realized I wanted to be able to do was change my on-the-go entertainment tablet for flights and coffee shops into something that I could also successfully use for school and do some other productivity tasks with.
The full touchpad and keyboard interface on this case is perfect for my needs. As cliché as it sounds, I almost can’t tell that I am not using a MacBook when I am using this tablet and keyboard/case combination. The UAG case component of this folio keyboard case is exactly what I have come to expect and enjoy from UAG. This particular model is tough and rugged feeling but has some nice lines and aesthetics that keep this from looking like some military application tablet or one of the cases that the Chik-Fil-A drive through workers use on their tablets.
Altogether, if you are looking for a tough and utilitarian keyboard/folio case for your new iPad that is ideal for travel and using it in a pseudo-laptop replacement role, then you have found the right one here!

Affordable Magsafe and USB-C output Charger!

This Best Buy essentials portable Power Bank is definitely worth considering if you are looking for a powerbank that is going to provide multidevice charging ability while maintaining the core function of being able to utilize Magsafe charging on devices like the new Airpod Pros and the iPhone 12's and newer. The design is very simple and clean, matching the aesthetics of most apple devices well. The kickstand is a cool feature to have. For example, if you are on a plane with the server tray in front of you, this kickstand portable charger would be perfect for setting your phone up in front of you and charging your device while you enjoy media on the phone. The 5000mAh battery is a nice capacity to be able to enable your device to laster longer throughout your day or night of use while still maintaining a compact size that makes traveling on the go a lot easier. Something I did note is that when using the magsafe charging capability, this power bank does get quite hot to the touch. Given energy transfer and thermodynamics principles, this is not shocking, but it should be noted so users will be aware ahead of time.
Altogether, I really like this Best Buy Essentials power bank and the fact that it is available at well below the price of a lot of other options out there with this capacity and capability. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps you make your purchasing decision!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What is the RPM of the 1 terabyte hard drive?
7200rpm, much better than the 5400rpm hard drive found in my $1600.00 MSI Stealth Pro :(
