Polaroid cameras were very popular many years ago. Now many different camera makers have made instant cameras. This camera is one of cannon's iterations and i personally am a fan. The camera is self is very compact and it takes decent quality photos. One of the biggest advantages is that the camera allows for a memory card and each picture is saved with a digital copy on the memory card. My only wish is that you were able to take digital pictures without having film in the camera but it does not appear to be possible. Overall i believe this is a fun camera to throw in a bag and take on vacation. I also love that the pictures are able to be peeled and have a sticky back. This would also be a great camera to get a child who is interest in taking pictures.

Most laptops now use internal SSD's but they do not have a lot of storage. I am currently using this drive as a secondary drive in a gaming laptop. It adds a large amount of storage to my laptop. I am now able to run my operating system on my main drive and use this drive for storage. It is not as fast as some other Solid States however it is lighting fast compared to any HDD and it comes in at a decent price. Another possible use for this drive would be as an external drive. You could easily get an adapter to turn this into an external drive. I have used many of the Samsung SSD drives and they are very reliable, fast, and all around great drives.

Must have computer accessory

No matter what you use a computer thumb drives are a necessity. The nice part about this one is that it has a large capacity but in a small footprint. That being said it can easily be left in the side of your laptop without worrying it is going to get broken off. It also has faster than normal read/write speeds which allows it transfer files much faster. The included cloud software is a nice addition because anytime you put something onto the drive it will automatically back it up to the cloud as well. This make it so that you do not have to worry about all of your files going missing if you lose the drive or something happens to it. I believe that anyone who owns a laptop should have some kind of flash drive for storing data and data transfers.

High qaulity and premium design

I never thought a phone cable could be so aesthetically pleasing. This cable is just that. It comes with a leather strap with a button to hold the cable together when not in use. Most of all is the practicality of this cable. I have never been a fan of braded chords because they usually are not as durable as they seem. This is the exception, the cable is very thick and has a very nice texture to it. On the other hand it is flexible and easy to use. I highly recommend this cable to anyone who has an iPhone. It is much more durable and better looking than your average phone charger.

Great mix of Portability and Productivity
on February 18, 2019
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I did not have high expectations for this laptop because LG does not make many laptops. However, they do make great products and this far exceeded my expectations. Overall this laptop is a great product but not without a few flaws.
Starting with the design of the computer, this is possibly my favorite part of the entire computer. The body is made out of military grade aluminum. I have used a lot of different medal body design laptops and most of them scratch, collect finger prints, get extremely cold, and dent easily. The design of this laptop is not the case at all. It is extremely durable and my favorite part is that it is not a fingerprint magnet. The laptop is extremely light weight however in my opinion it is a little bigger than I believe it could be. It is a very skinny laptop however not the skinniest I have seen compared to similar designs. This becomes apparent when you fold it back into tablet mode it just seems a little bulky. The screen is a beautiful screen. Again it is not the highest resolution but it still looks extremely nice. The gorilla glass is a nice touch and you can actually see how thick it is. I believe this makes it extremely more resistant however it does not seem like it is that thick while looking at it or using the touch screen. The last part of design I will talk about is the included accessories. It was really surprising that a pen and dongle were included in the box. The pen is high quality and most computers would charge and sell this type of item separately. I am not an artist however this pen feels really nice to the hand and works great in many different types of applications. The dongle that is included is a USB-c to Ethernet cable which is a nice additions since most laptops of this size do not include an Ethernet port.
Battery life is always a huge thing when it comes to portable computers. This laptop promised industry leading battery life and I was very excited to test this out. I was unfortunately disappointed by this. I got about 7-10 hours battery life just doing normal tasks on the computer which I found to be abnormal. Hopefully more tests to follow will yield better results.
Last aspect of testing was the performance of this laptop. The larger 500 gb SDD definitely makes a difference. This allows you to have plenty of storage for apps and programs while still having room to store some data. The built in I7 CPU has plenty of power to do any everyday task that is needed. I would not recommend trying to game on this laptops however it is plenty to run most any programs. It was really nice that this laptop includes 16 GBs of ram as well. Overall I believe the components far exceed the needs of anyone looking for this type of laptop which is a bonus.
Overall, this is a great laptop for someone who wants the perfect balance between portability and productivity. When you combine a great design with powerful components it makes for a great laptop. I highly recommend this to anyone who travels and needs a portable and powerful laptop for business or creativity purposes.

I have to say i was a little disjointed with this router compared to the hype before receiving it. Out of the box this router looks amazing. I love how it has RGB lighting similar to that found on most gaming computers. The appearance of this router looks like it means business. Setting it up was not extremely hard however, i had to tweak quite a few settings in order to get the speeds i wanted. Another downfall is that i currently am getting slower speeds than from my built in router to my modem. This is kind of disappointing because there is really no reason to have a second router if the speeds are slower. With a little more tweaking of the settings i believe that i will be getting the speeds that i want out of it. One other problem is that the computer hardware is not up to date with the ability to utilize the speeds this router is capable of. This is a positive thing though because i believe as gaming computers and hardware advance this router will still be capable. Overall i love the design of this router and if you are a gamer i highly recommend this to be part of your set up.

Awesome Gaming Keyboard!!
on January 13, 2019
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I was really impressed by this keyboard. The first part that I like about it is the overall building quality and feel to it. The included leather padded palm rest make this a very comfortable keyboard that someone could game with for hours. The other cool part about it is that it magnetically connects to the keyboard to hold it in place but it also offer easy removal. They keyboard it self offers nice feed back with the keys and has many customizable features and RBG color lighting. One advantage to this keyboard is that it has a USB and 3.5 audio jack built in which can offer easy access to these ports on a gaming PC. This keyboard is competitive to all other high end gaming keyboards on the market today. Possibly one of the biggest advantages is the integration of the desktop app in order to customer the keyboard and lighting schemes. It is very intuitive and offers endless customization options. There is nothing really negative that I found regarding this keyboard and I would definitely recommend it for PC gamers.

Great wireless Gaming Mouse
on January 13, 2019
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
When it comes to shopping for gaming mice the most important thing is latency. You want a mouse that will not take away from playing your games. That is why in the past wireless mice were not considered for gaming because there is to much lag. However, there are some great wireless gaming mice on the market and this being one of them. I have tested other wireless gaming mice before and this one stands out for a few reasons. It has a cable that can easily be integrated and make it a wired mouse if you feel that the wireless is not good enough. The next great feature is that it offers RGB lighting like most gaming computers do. This can be customized using a downloadable program. The last great feature is the included internal battery so that you never have to worry about replacing batteries. The only downside I believe this mouse has is the feel. It feels cheap plastic. The other downside is there is not very many button but it does give it a very simple and practical look. Overall I believe this is a great mouse for anyone looking for a wireless gaming mouse.

Decent vehicle USB Charger
on December 31, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
This usb car charger is not your average charger. It has many features that regular charges do not. First of all is the build quality. It does not feel cheap at all it has a nice build to it and you can tell it will last a very long time. It has a carbon fiber looking skin to it which gives it a premium feel and matches many car interiors. It also has an LED ring which you are able to change the color and match the color of your interior lights in your car, or simply make it your favorite color. The color choices are limitless. As far as charging it does come with quick charge and makes it able to charge compatible phones at a faster rate. This can be convenient if you are in need of a fast charge on a short drive to work etc. This charger has a compatible app which gives you some nice features. The first is a battery indicator. If your battery is low it will inform you so that you can charge or replace it if needed. The other cool feature is that it include a locator. However, this I believe might just be a gimmick. I say this because it will not show you location unless the car is turned on or your cigarette lighter supplies power even when the car is off. The second reason is because I believe it just uses the GPS from the app in order to locate your car. So if someone else is driving your car you would not be able to locate it. If you are driving your car then it is pointless to try and locate it. The only nice feature is that it does leave a marker when you park your car although most smart phones have this feature built in anyway. Overall, I still believe this is a good charger to get. The LED ring and fast charging is plenty to make it worth the money.

Very impressive mobile Lav Mic
on November 21, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I was impressed with this mobile lavalier Mc system. Being that it is a mobile system I did not expect the quality to be extremely impressive. First of all is build quality. This system is made out of high-quality plastics and metals. It does not feel cheap it feels more comparable to something professional. The receiver has multiple different controls right on it and it can easily attach to the back of a cellphone or on a hot shoe for a DLSR. One of the best capabilities is that it is small and light for mounting on something such as a mirrorless camera. Two things I did not expect were for it to come with a carrying case which can hold everything. The second thing which is possibly the greatest thing of all is the connectivity. Included in the box is adapters that can connect with virtually any camera or cell phone. I use an iPhone and it even included a lightning adapter to use on Apple products. Setting up this microphone is as simple as plugging it in, adjusting a couple settings and then shooting a video. The audio sounded crisp and did not sound muffled or negative in any way. The only negative to this system is that the microphone portion requires two AA batteries. This is a positive and negative because you can easily change the batteries if they die. However, using rechargeable batteries can be more reliable. This is a great system and I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to create short films using a phone or personal camera.

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.
