Quiet, smooth, gets the job done
on October 11, 2022
Posted by: codeblue
I’m probably a little biased because I have and have owned several appliances and devices from Shark, and I have been very happy with all of them.
The ION doesn’t have laser tracking, so it’s got the traditional “bump and go” path finding of running up to walls and furniture, then turning in ninety degrees to make its way around. The sensors seem more advanced than others though, as it slows down enough to not slam into obstacles.
Cleaning strength - there’s a normal and a “max” clean mode. The normal mode was so quiet my wife actually commented on how pleasant it was. But the cleaning strength was significantly weaker than other vacuums, as I watched it run over a small piece of debris multiple times and not pick it up. When I pressed the button to switch to Max clean, however, the Shark ION easily swept up that same piece of debris. Even on max clean, though, I was pleasantly surprised that the noise didn’t jump up significantly.
As far as I’m concerned, this is another example of Shark quality and an appliance working exactly as advertised. We’re very happy

Charges everything in one spot
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: codeblue
Maglock automatically grabs and sets Apple iPhone, Apple Watch, and my ear buds all in one place. White color looks clean on my nightstand, and unlike other watch charging stations, I don't have to use my own apple cable. Pull the stand out of the box, plug it in, and you're literally done with the entire setup. Couldn't be any simpler. I own multiple Anker iQ smart charging plugs, and the station seems to charge my iPhone around the same time. I've been able to replace and clean up several charging cords, bases, etc., with just this one stand.
The stalk(?) of the charging stand that holds up the phone and watch is sufficiently high enough that I never felt like my iPhone 13 Pro Max was overlapping or getting in the way of me grabbing my earbud case from the bottom of the stand. Even more so for the watch, the watch hands high enough that I could comfortably grab it and go without snagging on anything.
I have no cons with this charging stand, and would wholeheartedly recommend.

Loud fans, but high settings on any game
on September 17, 2022
Posted by: codeblue
Seems like everyone wants to make a gaming laptop nowadays. Omen was a niche legendary name amongst gaming PCs back in the day, and then they were bought by HP.
The first thing that stands out are the clean lines. No extraneous giant alien heads lighting up the cover *ahem* nor eye-burning LED lights flashing on the outside. Nice, matte feel, with a, dare I say, classy, logo on the bottom right of the casing.
The speakers are grouped at the top of the keyboard case, and a bang & Olufsen logo sits on the bottom left of the palm rest area. Aesthetics are highly subjective, but I’m a big fan of industrial looks. Also, I’m able to take this laptop to work without it sticking out like a sore thumb. Ports are all located in the back, without any USB ports along the sides. Again, keeps everything looking clean even when you have devices plugged in.
Feel: the keys have a nice smooth travel, and don’t stick at all. No clicky noises like on cherry Mx, but that’s not a bad thing in this case. The keys do however, to me, feel like they’re just slightly too small. I found myself making some typing errors while trying to draft documents for the first few days. Not cramped like a mini keyboard, but also not a 100% 1-1 transfer like on a thinkpad.
Performance: this is where this laptop shines. On cinemark, the 8 core Ryzen was hitting 12600+, which put it only under the AMD threadripper CPUs. Graphically, I was getting no stuttering on high settings on Witcher 3 and cyberpunk. Yes cyberpunk is old, but the new update had me curious and I went back in to check it out.
That being said, one knock on this unit is that the fans get pretty loud under load. If just browsing or watching Netflix, it was fine. But any time I tried to play any games that were remotely graphics heavy, the fans kicked into high gear. Kind of an expected trade off, t get this level of performance in a laptop form factor.

Small form factor, convenient key loop
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: codeblue
I remember when I had to pay a premium per gb for flash storage, and fast forward to now, with 128 gb available for much cheaper than what I paid for 1-2 gb.
The sea green color in product photos actually looks more like a hunter green in reality. See my photos for reference. I usually default to non-descript black for my usb drives, but the green actually stands out and makes it easier to find in my stash.
Even better, the drive has a small key loop built in. I thought it’d be a non-factor, but in use, I actually love it. Because the drive is so small, it’d swim around in my work bag even with a dedicated small pocket for my electronics. I have it on my key ring and I never have to search for it.
Speed wise, the usb 3.2 standard is light years ahead of my old usb 1 and 2 drives. Moving large caches of RAW photos and videos, I was still getting 50 mb/s, but using my Omen laptop with appropriate ports to generate the speeds. My older Surface wasn’t able to get those speeds, likely because the ports themselves are only usb 2.0.

Great fit and sound with ANC
on June 4, 2022
Posted by: codeblue
Unboxing: standard appearing charging case with short usb-c cable. Ear buds. Different sized tips with size SS, S, and LL.
Setup: install app on your phone, which you can conveniently reach by scanning the included QR code. After that, follow the prompts in 3-4 steps depending on whether you want to use certain features or not. That’s it. Everything worked seamlessly and installing/connecting my ear buds took less than 2 minutes total.
The standard earbud tips (size L) fit my ears perfectly with a good seal. But if they don’t fit well, you can try the other 3 sizes included.
Sound quality was great, I didn’t note any tinniness. Sound was clear even on a crowded tram at Hartsfield, and the ANC helped cancel out Boeing 737 engine noise in the air. Felt comfortable after 4 hours in.
I’m very happy with the sound quality, fit, and the noise cancellation. The case and buds have a matte black texture which feels nice and doesn’t pick up fingerprints. The included charging cable is short, but by this point, most people have at least a few usb-c cables lying around the house so I didn’t think that was a negative. If anything, not having a bunch of extra slack kept my desk space clean when I was charging the case.

Comfortable, decent sound
on February 25, 2022
Posted by: codeblue
from San Antonio
Wearable audio, tbh I’m not sure what the intent of this device was. So we’ll break it down:
Feel: nice contoured edges felt comfortable sitting around my neck. Didn’t slip and I really didn’t notice it much, so no distractions. 4/4
Sound: not as clear as my dedicated gaming headsets. But the four speaker array did provide good directional audio. The main drawback: it’s open design, I.e. everyone around you can hear exactly what you do. For a soundbar, this would be perfectly fine (and desired). But for a personal wearable, it makes me question when I would reach for this instead of my headset or even just using my speakers. 3.5/5
Connectivity: this is the primary negative in my book. It’s not wireless. The cord was long enough for my setup, but this seems like a huge missed opportunity to increase the usability of the device. 0/5
Overall impression: it seems like an attempt to answer a question that was never asked. I guess if you don’t have a great soundbar, and don’t like having big headphones on your head for extended time periods, then this would be useful. But for most use cases, I don’t see this being the go-to option

Ideal for android but works with apple
on January 25, 2022

from San Antonio, TX
Great looking timepiece that has smart capabilities. Looks like a traditional watch, which is nice for those of us who prefer a traditional look but with modern features.
Charges easily by placing on included dock stand. Easily lasted a full work day which includes massive amounts of notifications due to my work email.
Rubber wrist band is durable and comfortable.
Able to receive email and text notifications from my iPhone, but many features are not accessible due to the inherent limitations that Apple places on non-Apple ecosystem devices. Which is fine because that was my primary desire for a smart watch to do, is let me view/screen messages and emails discreetly without having to pull my phone out such as during meetings.

15mph e-scooter
on January 25, 2022

from San Antonio, TX
Age:>18
Gender:Male
Design: looks like a standard scooter. Handles screw in without any other locking mechanism, but feel solid and stable without any feeling of slippage during regular use. Charging port is located on the rear wheel area, but honestly could’ve been placed anywhere because the scooter folds up. Integrated kickstand that folds up when riding the scooter.
Features: can control the modes via a simple menu. Push the button to turn the scooter on/off, tap the button to cycle through speed modes. The lowest setting (blank window) averaged 7mph, the medium (blinking S) averaged 12-13 mph, and the sport mode (solid S) hit 15 mph. For reference, I weigh 160 lbs. there’s also a small headlight you can turn on/off as well for safety when you’re riding at night.
As stated above, the scooter comfortably hits 15 mph for my weight. Out of curiosity, I tried to take my friend but the motor couldn’t handle our combined weight of two adults. I was able to take my kinder-age son without any problems.
Fun little device to scoot around on, folds up in half so stores easily.

So convenient without the apple prices
on November 26, 2021
Posted by: codeblue
from San Antonio
Arrived just in time to test out with our new iPhone 13 pro. MagSafe connected easily with a snap, and as advertised, held the phone in place. So I could use the charger as a phone stand to watch movies. With the phone charger tilted out, the top of the canister can charge your AirPods case, reducing need for multiple chargers out at once.
Aesthetically, the soft white cylinder while closed looks sleek, like a speaker or something that belongs on the counter. Doesn’t take up too much room either. Comes with a usb-c cable and wall plug.
Looks good enough to fill Apple’s shoes without the Apple price tag. Very happy with Anker.

great for working out
on November 17, 2021

from San Antonio
Excellent product from Jabra, again.
8 hours of battery life, increased to 30 if you count the extra charges from the case. Small form factor with snug grip that didn't fall out even during jumproping or going on runs. Sound quality was clear, but the EQ seemed to be a bit heavy on the treble spectrum. Electronica and bass-heavy beats sounded just fine, but trying to listen to Jack Johnson or folk - just sounded a bit off, for lack of better description. The case itself is the same color as the buds - black - and matte. Not rubberized, but didn't feel slick to touch. There aren't any noticeable grooves, latches, or buttons, but again, because the surface wasn't too slick, I didn't have any issues opening/closing the case.

Bottom line, I'm downright amazed at how comfortable these buds are. I had zero strain after keeping them in for several hours. I didn't test out call quality as in depth, because I primarily used them in the gym, meaning I wasn't really trying to make phone calls.
