Very handy device

As a stand alone product this is a handy and easy device to use. Plug it into the wall plug your phone in and it will inform you that you need to download the app. It takes you to the app store directly to the app. Once it downloads and you start the app. You will go through the normal EULA requirement then it will ask for access to your photos and contacts. You can let it do its thing and it starts to backup you photos and contacts. Over 2000 photos and contacts and it took just a few minutes and it was completely hands off.

Great for presentations not too shabby for TV
on October 1, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
As I am periodically giving presentation in areas that are not always dark this projector shines! Even in areas where darkness is scarce, the images are crisp and clear and text is equally clear. For giggles, I also played a high def movie via a DVD player and it was remarkably, and surprisingly, very good quality. It was in 1080p and looked just like you would expect a 1080p picture to look. So you are aware, there are differences between a home theater projector and a presentation projector. Not sure what the differences are so you may want to do some research. Bottom line, the projector performed well in both presentation and video. It is easy to operate and has on screen display for all menu functions which are easy to navigate. Bonus feature is it comes with a carrying case and all needed cords and cables except an HDMI. This projector will work equally well as a permanent attachment in an office or for a road warrior.

Beyond Amazing!!
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
Let me get this our there right now, I have not been a fan of over the ear headphones since I was a kid. That is until now. I have listened to several high-end over the ear headphones and these B&O's blow them all away! That may sound like an over-exaggeration but it is not. The clarity of these headphones coupled with the sound range is nothing short of amazing. I could go on and on about the sound but the only way to fully experience it is to put them on. Now for some of the other important factors; they look great! A very minimalist design; exactly what you would expect from Bang & Olufsen. They are VERY light weight with pivoting ear pieces for easy carrying and storage. They are extremely comfortable to wear and you never have the bulky feel of most headphones. Operating them is somewhat straightforward. I say somewhat because there are only three buttons but each has multiple functions depending on what you are doing. If you are listening to music the center button will; pause, fast forward (2 quick pushes) and rewind (3 quick pushes). In Phone mode you push and hold to mute or unmute or hang up.
It does include a mini-jack for wired listening and a short charging cable, it's only 12 inches long. One item that is not included is a carrying pouch but honestly that's not even close to being a deal breaker. Like I said earlier, this truly is an amazing audio device!

Great Steam Cleaner!!
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I have used various steam cleaners and I have to say that this one is the easiest to use and the most versatile. It is easy to assemble and will be up an running in no time. One of the nicest features is that not only will it do floors but also has a hand-held feature where you can clean wall tile and I've recently used it to clean spots out of the carpet in my car. There are a number of attachments you can use in hand-held mode for various situations. As for using it on floors it has different pads depending on if you are on tile or wood. I've used both and have to say it does an outstanding job on both. You can easily adjust the amount of steam from the handle. The other steamers have been donated and this is the keeper!

More than just a keyboard!
on September 21, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
I usually look at a keyboard as a necessary evil to input data. The Craft has changed my mind. First off this is a slick streamlined keyboard that has a feel that is solid with a reflection of high quality. Rather than pair with the included dongle I opted to pair via Bluetooth. Connecting was simple and straightforward. One of the first features I noticed was the lighted keyboard is only illuminated when your hands are in proximity of the keys. There is an included cable so you can charge the keyboard easily. A bonus for some is that it is compatible with both Windows and Macs. Another feature that stands out is a knob on the upper left hand side. This ingenious little device performs a host of features depending on what application you are running. Play around with it and see what it does. It even can control the volume on your device. Another very handy feature for me is that I can connect it to multiple computers at the same time. There are three buttons that allow me to quickly switch between my desktop and Surface without missing a beat. No more multiple keyboards!! As for typing with it, the keys are solid and it does not have the loud clicking some keyboards have but has an excellent tactile fell. It is very comfortable to type on. Using functions like caps lock or num lock will display the setting on your screen so you can easily see if it is on or off. The keyboard has an aluminium casing so it has a very solid feel! m extremely happy with this keyboard which is something I don't think I have ever said about a keyboard.

Even when you're not in a hurry

Normally I associate Keurig with needing a cup of coffee in a hurry and that is what you get. Rather than brewing an entire pot so you can have a good cup on your way to work I simply drop a pod in and within a minute I have a great tasting cup of coffee. You can easily change the strength of your cup so it's no longer one size fits all. It has a nice footprint so it won't consume a large amount of your counter space. In the past I would only use my Keurig when I only had time or needed a single cup of coffee. Now I may brew several cups in a row. No waste of brewing too much coffee!

I bought this to go in the bar area for the occasional heating up of dips etc. Very simple to use and works as expected. Boiled a full pot of water in under 2 minutes. Easy to adjust the temperature and it is instant. The only thing that I wasn't expecting was the fan when it's in use. No biggie as it shuts off when the unit is not in use. I now want a full induction stove!!

Beyond Expectations
on August 7, 2017
Posted by: LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
After getting my 4K TV it seemed logical to look for a disc player to go along with it. LG TV and an LG 4K player. First off, there is very little you have to do to get up and running. Plug in the HDMI cable, plug it in, connect to the internet (wired or wireless) and you're ready to go. As with any device of this type the first thing I did was go online and check for an update. Took about three minutes and I was ready to play a disc. Bought a 4K movie today just for this purpose. The controls on the player are easy to use and the remote is straight forward. First thing I noticed was how quiet the drawer was when it opened. Put the disc in and a few seconds later the movie was playing. The 4K movie loaded faster than my regular Blu-Ray or even a standard DVD player. Picture quality was what you would expect from a 4K setup; crisp and clear! It does have Netflix and YouTube built in and I believe others can be uploaded at a later time. Overall it is a sleek, fast quiet operating machine that has excellent picture output. Well worth it!!

Well worth the investment!
April 15, 2011
I recently upgraded my desktop for my business to a 6 core AMD Phenom II processor and figured my 4 GB of memory would be enough. Although performance is amazing it just didn't seem to be where I thought it should be so I swapped out the four 1GB sticks for four 2GB sticks. Of all that's holy this things screams now! I have yet to come close to maxing out memory or CPU utilization even while burning a DVD, streaming video from the net and working on a presentation; 8% for CPU and 19% for memory.

5 out of 5Ditch the cable company's modem
By LSNerd
from Lees Summit, MO
After finally getting frustrated with the modem provided by the cable company I decided to get my own. Of course they asked why since I wasn't paying to lease the one I had. Well their own speed tests confirmed I had throughput of about 9Mbps on a good day when I'm paying for 20Mbps service. I swapped out the old modem with the Motorola, called them with the MAC ID and was up and running in a matter of minutes. Of course the first thing was to perform a speed test, the same one that I used before the swap. 20.6Mbps! Not only is my internet connection substantially faster but the built in WiFi has a better reach than my previous router AND the home network runs faster since I've eliminated a piece of equipment; stand alone router. My home network is used quite extensively too; 3 cell phones, 2 ipads, two laptops, 1 desktop, 2 home servers, 2 gaming consoles, 4 Blu-ray players, 1 stereo and a security system. This router/modem hasn't missed a beat yet!

9 month update
February 10, 2014
In all fairness I feel it is necessary to post an update to my previous post. First, 90 days after I installed it the WiFi would drop and not reconnect until i rebooted the modem. This normally would be that big of a deal except my home automation and alarm system run off the WiFi connection. When WiFi is lost for an extended period the security system will alert me with a continuous beeping until I deactivate it; even at 3 in the morning! Took it back and exchanged it for another thinking I may have just gotten a bad apple. Unfortunately that was not the case. Four months later the newer one started doing the same thing. There were times even rebooting would not solve the problem. As nice as it would have been to have one device that did the job of three, this was not it! Even the wired connections were beginning to run slow. I had upgraded my Time Warner to the 100Mbp package and was getting about 25 in most cases. Back to the store (yes I got the extended warranty) and I decided to go back to two devices. I went with the SB6141 which is basically the same device without wireless and routing. Plugged my Dlink DIR-655 wireless router into the 6141 and haven't looked back. The concept of an all in one device is great but the execution was well below expectation. One other thing, the interface used to configure the modem is basic at best. Most features are either on or off and some you just can't configure. Overall I would not recommend this product after using it for just under a year.

Will dvr change from each camera view continuously? Also is a 4k monitor required?, Are all 8 cables included?
You can configure the DVR to record on motion only by camera, or continuously record all cameras. It can even be setup to only record at certain times of the day. As for viewing, you can look at one camera at a time or all cameras at once. You can even create a tour that will rotate through specific cameras. A 4K monitor is not required but just like any screen it will affect the detail you see. everything was included to connect all the cameras the system came with. Hope that helps.

Stand out on HD video calls backed by Studio Mics. Capture ideas on the vibrant PixelSense touchscreen. Surround yourself with immersive, theater-like Dolby Atmos audio⁶. Do it all with a perfect balance of sleek, ultra-thin design, and more speed, now up to 70% faster – with significantly longer battery life than before¹. Two sizes. Two keyboard finishes. Plus, choice of 11th Gen Intel Core or exclusive AMD Ryzen Microsoft Surface Edition processors².
Is it possible to replace the hard drive with a different SSD?
Anything is possible but the reality is, is it worth it? IF it is similar to previous Surface laptops there are four torx screws under the rubber feet that once removed will allow the keyboard to be removed and provide access to the HD. For the record, I have not done this on a Surface Laptop 4, nor do I recommend it as it would void your warranty, but have seen it done on previous models so there is no guarantee the design is the same. Hope that helps.
