Perfect fit - very solid!
on February 23, 2024
Posted by: TechMatcher
Wow - this is an awesome case! I had purchase a temporary case until this one arrived - and this new CASETiFY case for my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is fantastic (OK - let's be clear - this is my wife's phone).
It's got a nice grippy feel - so won't fall out of your hands easily, raised edged on the front and the back around the camera lenses so when you place it down it protects the glass and lenses. The grippy feeling is also on the front and back bezels/edges - so it shouldn't slide of the dash or table too easily. Not to mention the 8.2 foot drop protection (sorry I did not test this) - but it's what it says on the package!
Overall, I really like this case for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Definitely feels that it has been made with quality and will be the default case for my wife! Also knowing that this case was made from other recycled phone cases makes it even better! They make the other phone cases into pellets that in turn they melt down to create these cases - very smart and nice job CASETiFY!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super-sized battery and nice video!
on November 16, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've been an Alro fan for years. I have many cameras - ranging from Arlo 1, ArloQ, Pro3, Pro4, Pro5, Arlo Floodlight and now Arlo Essential XL Gen 2! With the addition of these 3 XL Gen 2 cameras, I'm retiring my legacy Arlo 1 with the CR123 batteries - YEAH!
I'm currently happy with these Essential XL Gen2 cameras - and have had them mounted and running for about a week now. Batteries still show at 100%, image and video quality is good and although a bit large, I'm excited to see how well the battery lasts through our cold MN winters (they claim 4x life).
The only drawback I see is that they ship with a "screw-on" mount versus my other Alro's that came with a magnetic mount. Perhaps the larger battery makes it too heavy or bulking for a magnetic mount - but I really did like the flexibility and ease of using a magnetic mount with my previous Arlo versions.
My cameras are the 2k resolution (better than the HD version) and sport a 130 degree field of vision. The integrated spotlight is awesome and makes it possible for color night vision. Of course 2 way audio is included - but I really don't use that feature. It's important to note these cameras DO NOT require a hub or base station - they simply connect to your WiFi.
Overall - very satisfied and may switch more of my older cameras to these!

Good concept but poorly equipped.
on November 16, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'll keep this review short and to the point. I was skeptical about a new sub $200 laptop - and I was rightfully so. Upon receiving the product, I unboxed it and started setup. I knew almost immediately that this laptop was severely under powered and that the Windows setup would take a long time. Suffice it to say it did take a long time - and the performance after the initial log in was just as unimpressive. I had trouble opening ANY default Windows program, settings and Windows Update.
I contacted Lenovo support to ensure this wasn't a defective device - and even their support team told me this laptop is meant for a single task at a time. It won't be able to handle multi-tasking.
SPECS: Celeron N4020 process and 4 GB RAM, Windows 11 Home in S-Mode. That's really all that's important - as it is my opinion that the Celeron processor should be discontinued. However, the screen, keyboard, camera and the laptop itself feels solid and well made - it's just the processor and RAM that are really under powered.
Overall - save up a little more money and buy at least an Intel i5 or an AMD Ryzen 5 processor or better with 8 GB RAM min.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quality All-In-One Printer with advanced features!
on October 14, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've long been a fan of Brother printers. Once you start having a few offices, it's best to pick a brand and stick with it - as we've done with Brother printers. The new Brother MFC-L3780 is hot off the press and is loaded with new features for your office or business.
For starters, since security is on everyone's mind these days, I really like the addition of the integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) reader. If your business uses badges for your employees for normal building security and room access, those same badges can be used to secure the printer. It can also integrate with Active Directory if your business uses that and has several reports and logs to monitor usage.
Setup was incredibly easy - as I'm using WiFi connectivity. Printing documents and photos produces high quality results that I'm impressed with - and am replacing an ink-jet printer with this one so I'm excited for the higher quality images!
Copying is a breeze with the 50 sheet auto-feeder. Duplex copying and scanning is a super time saver and also produces better results! If you've never had a duplex printer (prints, scans, copies from both sides) it is a game changer.
Lastly, aside from all the great print, copy and scan features - there is a plethora of connectivity options. Starting with the Brother Mobile Connect app, you can setup, print, scan, copy and manage your printer from anywhere. Super convenient for quick printing from your mobile device. You can also receive notifications from the printer about supplies and service!
Popular apps like Box, Dropbox, OneNote, Sharepoint Online, Google apps etc are all part of the connectivity plan and there to make your life easier.
Overall - if you're looking for a new color laser printer and like the above features - this ones for you!

Leave your worries at the door with cutting-edge clarity and powerful protection with the Arlo Pro 5S 2K. Installation is easier than ever with a wire-free setup. Plus, the camera's smart Wi-Fi with dual-band connection automatically connects to either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network, whichever is stronger, for faster video loading and less buffering. See details that matter with 2K HDR video that’s twice the resolution of HD cameras, 12x zoom to make out details like faces or license plates, and a wide 160° field of view to see the bigger picture. Never miss a detail with clearer video, even at night, with color night vision and enhanced low light video with an advanced image sensor. You can also spend less time charging and more time protecting with additional rechargeable batteries and a dual battery charging station.³ Your cameras will also always stay secured with the included anti-theft mounts, and you can send a message that you’re protected with the included yard sign. The Pro 5S 2K is also built to work with the Arlo Home Security System, providing enhanced battery life, a more robust connection with Arlo SecureLink, and image verification when power or Wi-Fi is down.¹ Get smarter notifications on your phone when the Pro 5S 2K spots people, vehicles, animals, or packages, and view live or recorded video clips directly from your phone with a free 30-day trial of Arlo Secure service included.² Personalize your notifications and create custom activity zones to ensure you only get alerts for what matters most, reducing less important notifications.

Easy install, clear images!
on October 3, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm a long time owner of Arlo products. I have over 15 cameras and spotlights around my home and cabin. I do pay for an Arlo Secure plan as I feel that provides the best value for what I need. The Pro 5S comes with an Arlo Secure trial to store the 2k cloud recordings.
OK - so for the camera itself. Arlo came out with some nice features versus their previous generations. Features like: Dual Band Wi-Fi - so it can connect to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz network for broader compatibility is to me the best new feature. Low Power Mode give up to 30% more battery life and Alro Secure Link gives you a more secure connection all around. The camera boasts 2K resolution/output and a 160 degree viewing area - providing a clear large field of vision.
Many people ask if you need a SmartHub or Base Station - NOPE. You don't need those as this camera can connect directly to your Wi-Fi Router! That's a nice bonus. You do get some minor benefits using a SmartHub (optimized Wi-Fi traffic, slightly better battery life,etc) but it's not required.
Color night vision happens with the built in spotlight - see attached pictures. A built in siren can be configured to startle and scare visitors or animals.
The only minor issue I had as that it forced me to upgrade my phone app when adding this camera to my existing SmartHub system. That caused me a little confusion, as the new app does things a bit different - but nothing that you can't work through.
Overall, this is a solid camera with large crisp images to capture the scenes that matter to you most!

Superb Wireless Speaker!
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I took a little longer to write this review as I was having so much fun listening to amazing sounds of this new speaker! JBL really did it right, and I don't much to complain about aside from knowing ahead of time this didn't have a battery. My personal belief is that any smart home or portable speaker should have a built-in rechargeable battery so it can be used without power. JBL made this retro-looking speaker to be a stationary focal point in your room - as there are no handles for easy carrying and it is quite heavy. If you know and acknowledge this up front - you'll love this speaker.
Sound is fantastic! Deep bass, crisp treble and warm mids make this pure pleasure for your ears. I have 5+ large, portable speakers - and this may be the best sounding one yet!
There are lots of options for playing music - like using Bluetooth or WiFi direct, integration with Google and Amazon smart devices and not to mention the JBL One app for custom sound settings, voice controls/assistants and enable more streaming features. It boasts a virtual Dolby Atmos - which adds an interesting dimension to the audio that gives you the feeling of being immersed in sound.
Outfitted with an Ethernet port, USB-C connection and 3.5mm axillary port give you connectivity options.
I truly love this speaker. Although it is a bit large (you likely can't place this under your TV), you can be sure it will become a topic of conversation as people hear the awesome sound quality at your next gathering!

Bulky yet comfortable!
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm always looking for the next thing to try for listening to music - and I love being outside so I thought these Smart Sunglasses would be a nice addition to my tech arsenal - and I was right! as the title says - they are a bit big and bulky, but I realize they Lucyd had to pack them full of batteries, chips and speakers - so I feel that is understandable.
Sound quality is good for something so small. As you'd expect it's not a rich full sounding bass explosion, but definitely good enough to listen to while walking or spending time outdoors. I won't use these when mowing the yard as I want more in-ear style headphones that also serve somewhat as ear plugs. You can control volume, songs and more through "taps" on the left or right side of the glasses - so you'll have to memorize what they mean - or use the volume on your phone.
The sunglasses part of this smart eyewear piece is great. Quality lenses with a gradient shading feature that I like more than I expected. Images are crisp and clean without distortion or waviness. You can change out the lenses with prescription lenses if needed.
I can definitely see how smart eyewear will continue to enhance people daily lives - just grab the glasses and go! No more searching for the earbuds or wearing over the head headsets, it's all included in these smart shades! I plan to continue to use these for my solo outdoor activities going forward!

Super fast and easy install
on August 2, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I had been having some issues with a newer computer utilizing Optane M2 memory, and decided it was time for a switch. Enter in the Samsung 990 Pro M.2 drive. I replaced the Optane memory module and 7200RPM hard drive with this NVMe unit - and it's like I have a brand new machine again - only better.
I cannot say enough about upgrading your PCs disk - it is likely the single biggest impact you can make to your system as long as you already have enough RAM to function. I'm running Windows 10 Pro and the Samsung 990 Pro drive the system with ease!
Let's talk about speed for a second. My old spinning drive clocked in with a score of about 2400 using the Passmark Performance Test utility. I use this tool to compare all my systems and components so I have a baseline to compare by. The new Samsung 990 Pro - clocked in at a WHOPPING 29800 - more than 10x as fast as my old drive. The feel on the performance is truly night and day. I've attached some pictures of the performance test and a detailed test on the disk.
Overall, I'm supper happy that this drive made my PC new again! This is a great investment in the performance and longevity of your machine - you won't be sorry! Just make sure to backup your data and apps so you can reinstall them on the new disk!

Nice display - solid performance!
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm become partial to All-In-One computers as I like the clean lines on my desktop, less peripherals and cords hanging around, and the space savings that are standard in the AIO design. Enter the Dell Inspiron 27" AIO device. This sweet and capable device offers a substantial BANG for relatively little bucks in my opinion.
Start off with some pretty good components (note that this machine is NOT built for gaming). The newer 13th Gen Core i5 processor scores well on my test program - which should allow you to create/stream/consume content with no restrictions. The system has16 GB RAM and a fast SSD drive to boot, the slowest components being the 2D and 3D graphics capability. As I said this is NOT a gaming machine.
After setting the machine up, I noticed several positive items: The TV inspired display design is easy on the eyes even though it's a big 27" screen at close range. Color and clarity are great - crisp and sharp. Wifi connectivity was easy and solid with the Intel Wi-Fi 6E. The 5 in 1 card reader is a nice touch for those of us still using SLR cameras, drones or other devices with SD cards.
A unique feature is that this AIO also works as a monitor (capable of becoming a 2nd display for another computer) without powering on the system by connecting to the HDMI in/out port. That's the first time I've seen that!
Overall - this is a solid performing device that can help you clean up your space (keyboard parking underneath and cable management behind)!

Nice fit, all day comfort and good sound quality!
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've always been a headphones kinda guy, but I thought it was time to try some wireless earbuds again - and I'm really glad I did! I've been wearing the Poly Voyager Free 60 earbuds 4-5 hours a day and have been very pleasantly surprised with them. I changed the ear cushions to the smaller size and they've done a great job at staying in my ear during office work, walking, yard work and sweating.
I did some test calls right away - and the person I called (I call the same person to test all my headphones, headsets and earbuds), had nothing but good things to say about the call quality. The only minor complaint was that they could hear background noise like paper rustling, etc. I'll look in the Poly Lens app to see if there's a way to turn that down more.
The Voyagers come with a charging case with a magnetic fit, three different sizes of ear cushions/tips and a small getting started guide. They paired up easily with my iPhone and I was off and listening in minutes.
This week I'll use them for more conference calls but I'm not expecting any problems. I kind of like not having a band over my head so these may become my go to ear buds.
I've been listening to various artists - pop/rock/country on Spotify and the sounds has been good.
Overall - very happy with these and would recommend you give them a try!

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Can the lane departure tones be turned off? It's really really annoying! Goes off every time you come up on a car at a stop light. It's not realistic to stay 5 car lengths away from the car in front of you at a light...lots birds would be flipped at You!

Aside from muting the device itself, you can turn off selective features: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/speakplus/EN-US/GUID-EFD3414D-5D4A-4BB7-9496-ECAD2C4D994E.html

I don't see anything about just turning off the tone for that specific feature.

Since there is no graphics card, I'm curious to the max resolution. My Dell monitor is capable of 2560x1440. Will I need an add on card to get this resolution?

No - you don't need to add a graphics card. I'm running 2560x1440 resolution on my ASUS 2K monitor right now from this machine.

Make your home an internet haven with this versatile Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system. Three identical tri-band dual-stream AC2200 routers, each equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, deliver lightning-fast internet. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
 

Will this system work in a metal building with walls, I have AT&T and currently use an M-Cell booster from them but it does not extend my service throughout the entire building.

Unfortunately, you never know for sure until you've tried it - as all structures and materials are a bit different. However, using a three node system like this starts you off with better odds that a single router! Give it a try and see how it works!

Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
 

I currently have the latest AT&T Pace modem / router. Can the AT&T modem be placed into a bridge mode enabling just the modem function? From research, this is a very complicated procedure. I would prefer to return the rental AT&T unit.

I would agree with your second statement - and would always recommend that people purchase their own dedicated modem (cable or DSL) and then use a separate dedicated router configuration. You have more control that way - can keep your devices firmware updated regularily, and usually have better equipment!

The advertising states that Velop works with Alexa but I can find no information on how to set this up. Help?

Here's the link to enable the Linksys skills for Alexa. They're not in the Alexa app yet.
