Top rated lightweight scooter for commuting
on April 7, 2024
Posted by: dlowen
The GoTrax XR Advance scooter is a must have for the everyday commuter. I commute into a big city everyday via train and then I have a couple mile commute into the office. The XR advance makes the last few miles of my commute a breeze. I have another GoTrax scooter, but it is one of the bigger ones and it is extremely heavy. The XR advance is only 27 pounds, it folds up and can easily be carried up and down stairs.
As far as the specs, it has a top speed of 15.5 mph and a max range of 12 miles. I believe the 12-mile range is the perfect distance for most people looking for a commuter scooter. It also only takes 4.5 hours to fully charge the battery so you could charge it while you work and have a full battery by the end of the day. The 15.5 mph top speed is not horrible, and the acceleration is decent.
The scooter only has one disk brake in the rear, but it works well. It also does not come with any security. But since it is such light weight, you can easily take it inside with you. It is best suited for flat surfaces, but it can also go up moderate hills. If the hill has a decent incline than the scooter will slow to a crawl speed. Due to its light weight, it is easy enough to give a few kicks until you crest the hill. The speedometer does not show over 15.5 mph even if you are going downhill and faster than 15.5 mph.
This is not the fastest or longest-range scooter on the market. However, I believe when it comes to power to weight ratio it has to be one of the top contenders. I am looking forward to the summer weather so that I can skip my bus ride to work and commute on this scooter. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a less than 10-mile commute to work or who rides a train/public transit to work and needs a last mile commuter.

Must have charging accessory
on March 29, 2024
Posted by: dlowen
The insignia 6 in 1 charging station is a great accessory for all your power needs. It comes with 3 USB C ports (two of them 70 watt PD ports) a regular USB, and two standard outlets. The 70 watt PD ports allow for extremely fast charging of larger devices. The chord is 5 ft long, heavy duty and the plug is a flat plug so that it can be plugged in behind a shelf and be flat. The station itself has some heft to it which I find to be a bonus. This helps it stay on a desk or night stand without falling off because it is to light. The design is also great because the outlets are on the opposite side as the USBs. The entire thing is small and compact so that you could travel with it or take it to and from your office.
Whenever I travel there is never enough places to plug devices in at a hotel. This charging station will ensure you have plenty of ports to plug in phones, tablets, computers, game systems or anything else you might have. This is also the perfect accessory to leave on your desk or night stand at home and you will have all the charging points you need right at your fingertips.
This is a great accessory for just about anyone. If you are the busy business person who travels a lot it will help you always have a place to charge your devise. If you want something for your desk at home or work this is also the perfect accessory. Or maybe you just want it for your nightstand next to you bed it make charging extremely convenient.

When you need the right tech to take on a day full of projects, meetings, and more, you need the HP Series 5 27-inch FHD Height Adjust Monitor. Its sleek design complements any workspace. And its beautiful screen, adjustable stand, and comfort features take your productivity to the next level. Bring flexibility to the way you work through enhanced visual performance, contrast ratio, and refresh rate.
Posted by: dlowen
This 27in monitor is a quality choice for a great price. This is a large 27in monitor full HD monitor. It has razor thing bezels, and it is extremely thin/light weight. These two factors make it easier to fit on a desk but get a larger screen. It is made of high quality material and feels premium. It has a 100hz high refresh rate which makes the user experience top notch.
Although the screen is full HD I wish it was a slightly higher resolution. It does not look bad, but a higher resolution allows you to fit more on the screen. The other downside is that it does not have any mounting points on the back to mount it on a wall or multi-screen stand. On the bright side it does come with a very nice stand that allows you to adjust it up, down, back, and forward. The base is nice and flat allowing you to put stuff on top of it.
Overall, this is a great monitor with vibrant colors. It is perfect for entertainment and productivity. If you are building out a home office 1 or 2 of these monitors would be a great option. If you are looking for the highest resolution monitor this is probably not it but you will also not find one in this price range. HP makes high quality products, and this is one of them.

Easy to use camera solution
on November 22, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
This is my second Arlo essential camera. Out of the cameras I have tested and use, Arlo has the best detection software. The essential cameras are best for someone who does not need a ton of cameras and just wants an easy to use out of the box solution.
This camera comes with the camera, mounting hardware, and a charging cable. This is everything you will need to get started. Setting the camera up is pretty simple. The one downside is that all camera footage is stored in a cloud. This storage requires you to pay a subscription fee of approximately $5 a month for one camera or $12 a month for unlimited cameras. This will give you 30 days of storage with up to 4K resolution. The bonus to this service is that you do not need a hub or any wires. The only thing you will need is a wifi connection. My camera is approximately 50 ft from my router with all kinds of walls and furniture in between. I have never had a problem with losing connection. Even when my internet has gone down the camera reconnected when wifi became available.
This camera can record in 2K which is high quality and allows you to see people's faces and cars well. Smart detection allows you to filter out things such as animals which can reduce unwanted notifications. Battery life is dependent on a number of factors. The biggest factor is going to be how many times it is detecting motion. Mine is placed in a high traffic area and I usually get about a month's battery life before needing to recharge. I believe that is worst case scenario. I have a solar panel from my old essential camera and unfortunately this generation essential camera has USB-C and is not compatible. If I use a micro USB to USB-C adapter it might work, but I have yet to try. The Solar panel extends the battery life significantly during the summer and spring time. During the winter cold months battery life will be worse.
If you are looking for an easy to use, high definition camera solution, then the Arlo essential series is for you. This is also a great solution for anyone who lives in an apartment or somewhere that it is harder to mount cameras. It is also weatherproof, allowing it to be used outdoors year round.

Feature packed Polaroid camera
on November 12, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
The now + generation 2 is Polaroids newest instant film camera. Instant film cameras have become extremely popular over the last couple of years. The Now + is feature packed so that you can use your imagination to create awesome photos. Unfortunately, I believe that the abundance of features makes this camera very complicated to use and hard to get a good photo.
Included in the box is the camera, a small strap, a lens cover, USB-C cable, and several different color filters. This camera does not include film. Polaroid film is quite expensive. Since the camera has a built-in battery, it can use both I-Type film or 600 film. The I-Type film will save you a few dollars but is still quite expensive.
This camera is able to connect through Bluetooth to a mobile app. Some of the features in the app are a remote, self-time, double exposure, aperture mode, tripod mode, portrait mode, light painting, and manual exposure. From what I can tell the only way to use these modes is by using the app. Trying to get perfectly exposed photos with this camera is nearly impossible. I tried several different modes, multiple lighting conditions, and my pictures either came out under exposed or over exposed. I was able to get a few decent photos but even those were of horrible quality in my opinion for what this camera costs.
I also tried using the camera without the app and there were multiple times it would not even take a photo. There are very few buttons on the camera so I am not sure how you can change any of the settings without using the app.
This camera is not completely worthless. I think it packs a ton of features that some people will find very useful. I believe these features make it too complicated for the average person to get useful photos. If you try extremely hard and take a lot of time you can get somewhat usable photos. Overall, I was a little disappointed and expected it to perform better than 30+ year old polaroids I have used in the past. One feature that I think polaroid should add is a live view.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

High quality Bluetooth headset
on November 7, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
As the world adapts to hybrid and remote workstyles the need for a quality headset has never been more apparent. I personally take meetings on the train, in the car, in a busy office, and sometimes in the comfort of my home. When looking for a headset it must have a few things comfort, long battery life, and a quality microphone. Having a quality headset can mean the difference between looking like a professional or a fool in a meeting.
Before this headset I was using its predecessor. I have always been a huge fan of Logitech because I believe they make high quality products that last. At first when I unboxed this headset It seemed like it was quite large. Once I put the headset on that was an afterthought. Not only is this headset made from premium materials, but it is also light weight and very comfortable. The other day I had a 3-hour long meeting, and I did not even think about wanting to take off my headset because of how
comfortable it was. Included in the box is a carrying case that can hold the headset along with all the included accessories. One bonus is that they fold flat and so it can easily be put into a backpack, bag, or purse. Another reason I have always been a Logitech fan is they include everything you need in the box. These are Bluetooth but if you prefer to use them with a wireless dongle, a USB-C dongle is included. If your computer does not have USB-C they even include a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

These are Bluetooth but if you prefer to use them with a wireless dongle, a USB-C dongle is included. If your computer does not have USB-C they even include a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
The only issue I had with the headset was connecting it with my video conferencing software. I think this is more of an issue with the software or computer than the headset and once I got all my settings correct, I have not had any issues sense. They are rated for 18 hours of talk time and honestly that lasts me all week only using them a few hours a day. I believe that has plenty of battery life. Logitech claims they have a wireless range of 170 ft, although I do not know the exact distance, I can confirm they give you the freedom to walk around your house/ office without being tied to your computer, which is a major win.
The last two things I would like to discuss are the noise cancellation and the microphone quality. The noise cancelling in these is better than any other on ear headphone I have ever used. It is even close to some over ear headphones on the market. This is most beneficial working in a loud open office space. There is also a pass-through mode that allows you to be aware of your surroundings while still listening to the headset. The microphone uses built in AI to cancel out background noise. Possibly the loudest place I have had to take meetings is on the train and all of the people I asked could not even tell I was on a train.
I believe this is one of the best Bluetooth headsets on the market for business professionals. When I go on business trips, I usually take my gaming computer and having this headset means I can also use it while gaming on the go. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for the best and most versatile Bluetooth headset on the market.

Stylish must have glasses!
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
As an owner of the original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses I can say the 2nd generation are a welcomed upgrade that I believe will only improve with time. Starting out with the unboxing, they come in a pretty simple box that does not include much except the glasses, charging case, cleaning cloth, and paperwork. As far as I could tell they did not include a charging cable, which came to me as a surprise. Quite honestly, it does not bother me because I have 100 USB-C cables lying around that I can use to charge them. The charging case is also upgraded in style. It is elegant brown leather with a classic styling. Honestly, most people would not even realize it was a charging case.
The glasses themselves are also upgraded in design. The hinges appear to be much sturdier. The matte black design with polarized lenses is my favorite color they come in. They are thicker than regular Ray-Bans and after wearing them for long periods of time you can tell. However, to the average person they would not be able to tell the difference without looking closely. The touch controls on the sides are easy to use and intuitive. On one side there is a camera and on the other there is a much bigger light than the previous generations. Although I do not believe the average person will notice the light it was increased to ensure people know you are recording.
Capturing photos and videos has never been easier. These smart glasses make it so easy to record first person videos without having to hold a camera or phone. Both the photo quality and video resolutions have been upgraded. Although they might not be on part with the latest cell phone quality, they are not bad and very usable for social media. The video aspect ratio is now portrait vs the square aspect ratio on the last generation. Videos can be uploaded directly to social media and there are even live streaming options which is a great feature.
Taking voice calls, listening to music, and using Meta AI has never been easier with the new generation of smart glasses. The built-in speakers have been upgraded and are much louder. It is noticeable and makes them much better for taking calls or listening to music. The microphones do a decent job and cancelling out background noise and it is possible to take phone calls on them. Simply saying “Hey Meta” will open a personal assistant than can help you make phone calls and answer questions. Meta plans to expand the AI capabilities of these glasses next year and I am excited to see how much better they become.
Ray-Bans are on the more expensive side when it comes to sunglasses. I believe that these are a great deal when you consider you are getting Ray-Bans and everything else inside. I think just about anyone can find use in these but especially those who wish they always had a camera on them at all times.

Easy to use portable drive
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
The WD easystore 1TB hard drive is a great bang for the buck. With many computers coming with smaller hard drives, most people need an external drive for storing larger files such as pictures and videos. This drive has a few features to help make this process easier. It is compatible with both Mac and PC, It has automatic backup options, and it comes with utility software to configure the drive. It comes with a USB 3 cable and is backwards compatible with USB 2. The only downside to me is that is does not come with a USB-C cable although these can be bought separately or you can use a dongle. USB 3 speeds allow for high-speed transfer between your device and the external drive. 1 TB of storage is plenty for storing music, videos, pictures, and anything else you might not want to store directly on your computer. When it comes to storage devices, I always look to a name I can trust because I would hate to lose all my data. WD is a well-known and trusted brand. Since it is lightweight, and durable, it can be used on the go without worry. Overall, this is a great and easy to use hard drive that I would recommend to anyone looking for external storage.

High Tech Baby Monitor System
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
Baby monitors have come a long way since I was a child. This Vtech monitor takes it to the next level of technology built into a baby monitor. First, this monitor comes with two cameras. This is especially convenient once your child becomes a little older. I have one set up in his bedroom and then one set up in the room he plays in. The monitor itself is super portable and includes a high def 5 in screen. It includes multiple viewing options so you can have both cameras up at once or just one of them.
Some of my favorite features are the temperature gauges on the camera. This can help you ensure that the temperature in the room where you child is at is exactly how you would like it. Another significant feature is that the camera can act as a night light and even has multiple color options. The cameras themselves have a wide FOV but also can be remotely turned left/right/up/down. The video is crystal clear and night vision allows you to have eyes on your child even in the pitch black. The motion sense technology works well and alerts you if the cameras sense motion.
One thing that sets this baby monitor over many other is the included app that allows you to access the cameras remotely if you so choose. The only downside is that it requires a 2.4 ghz network and they will not work on a 5ghz network. This setup has many features and if you are not tech savvy it can be difficult to use them to their full advantage.
Out of all the baby monitors I have ever used these are by far my favorite. They can be used from the time your child is a newborn and even when they become older and you would like to keep eyes on them. I would highly recommend this monitor system for anyone who has small children.

Best out of the box FPV drone
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: dlowen
The Avata is DJI’s newest FPV drone and one of my personal favorites. DJI goggles 2 are a major upgrade. They are lightweight, high definition, and easy to use. Flying in the goggles is an experience unlike any other drone flying experience. It makes you feel connected with the nature you are flying in. I have found that I am more conformable swooping and diving through small spaces than I would be without the goggles. The HD low latency transmission means that you get a stable crystal clear image while you are flying. The new motion controller makes that experience even more life like and flying becomes very natural. The best upgrade on the motion controller is the addition of reverse. I had the previous motion controller and not being able to reverse was a big downside to me.
Although this is a smaller drone the camera is still high quality. It is capable of 4K 60FPS and has a 155 degree view to make sure you are able to capture beautiful landscape views. Programs such as RockSteady and HorizonSteady allow you to make your videos even better. Although FPV drones are not typically used for cinematic video, the video captures on the Avata looks amazing and I would have no issue using it for creative purposes. The agility of this drone allows you to get shots that you could not otherwise capture.
FPV drones are typically seen crashing and breaking. DJI has put in several measures to ensure anyone can fly this drone with ease. The first is its size. It is small enough to fit through just about any space. It has a built in propellor guard so that if you accidentally bump into something you should not have any issues. Other features that DJI has built in is an emergency brake that will stop the drone and hover in place. It also has downward sensor built in to ensure safety during low altitude flight.
I would recommend this drone to anyone looking to get into FPV flying that wants an out of box solution that it easy to fly. This drone is easy for a beginner but also has pro features that the most experience people can take it to the next level. DJI has continued to refine the motion controller and goggles to make them even better than before.

Experience crystal-clear sound quality with this Sony 3.1 Ch. Atmos sound bar. Vertical sound engine technology creates cinematic audio that seriously enhances your listening experience. Enjoy smartphone and iPad streaming with voice-activated Bluetooth technology. This Sony 3.1 Ch. Atmos sound bar is easy to connect and features an adjustable 7.12-channel entertainment mode for enhanced listening.
This only has 1 hdmi input? So I can’t hook up my Apple TV n my PlayStation thru the sound bar? Or does it just pay to go with HTZ9F
As long as the Sound Bar is plugged into the ARC HDMI on your TV you can plug all your devices into your TV and they will still use the sound bar. I have PS4, XBOX, Apple TV, and Nintendo all plugged into TV and my sound bar plugged into the HDMI that say ARC and all devices play through sound bar. Hope this helps

You can try them out at your local Best buy store.

Can the storage be upgraded on this laptop? If so, is it difficult to do?
The panel on the bottom requires a special tool and it uses a proprietary drive. Upgrading the storage would be extremely hard if possible at all.
