Great drive for expanding memory on PS4
on November 19, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Due to PlayStation games being so heavy on graphics they tend to be massive in size. Even after upgrading my internal drive to 2Tb I was surprised how fast I was still filling it up. This external HD is a great addition because you can store games you don't play that often or if you have completely used all of your internal space it is an easy way to give you more space rather than having to try and install an internal. I only have two downfalls to the drive. One is that if you leave your PS4 in standby, then the drive will stay powered unless you unplug it. The other downfall is that it uses a USB and since the PS4 only has two USBs it only leaves you with one. Usually, I use one USB for charging controller, one for headset, and this would take up a third. I supposed you can mitigate this by getting a USB expansion. Two other long-term thing I am worried about but do not have evidence to back up yet is that if it is constantly being powered it might end up breaking eventually, or it could possibly slow down due to being a spinning disk. Overall, I believe this is a great addition to the PS4 and anyone who plans on playing a lot of games will eventually need to expand their storage.

Must have for anyone who owns a computer!

Whether you have a Mac, PC, iPad, or some other device that runs Microsoft office. Officer is better than any other program made. This suite of software is used by almost every profession, school, and just people in there everyday home. The question is how to get the program. Microsoft offers one time downloads but once the program becomes outdated then you have to buy the suite all over again. Hands down Microsoft Office 365 is the way to go. Anytime there is a new update you get the latest software. It also allows you to download all of the Microsoft programs. Possibly my favorite feature is Onedrive. With this subscription you get cloud based storage of 1TB. Every windows PC comes with OneDrive integrated into the software. Onedrive is great because you can access your files from any device that has internet. With this subscription you get more than enough storage to store pictures, documents and anything else you might need to have easy access to. I recommend this subscription to everyone because you just pay for it and everything is included you do not have to worry about buying the latest and greatest you just simply update and you will have it.

This Vacuum really surprised me. It is hard to find a high quality vacuum for a decent price now a days but I believe this might be one. It was very easy to assemble right out of the box. It has spots to hold all of the attachments and accessories. The only thing I could not figure out is where one of the attachment goes. Possibly the best feature of this vacuum is the cord. One of the most annoying things of any vacuum is having to roll up the cord and untangle it before use. This vacuum has a button and the cord retracts into the inside of the vacuum and it easily pulls out for use. It also offers a bag less design with a Febreze filter. This vacuum is made out of almost all plastic but I do not think this is a complete downfall because it is light weight and easily maneuverable. It also offers a swivel head design so it can easily move around furniture and in and out of tight spaces. Possibly the biggest question is how well does it vacuum the carpet. The answer is that it does really well. Better than any of the previous vacuums I have had. It can pick up anything and moves across the carpet easily. I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone who has carpet and needs a good vacuum.

This blender is not your average blender. Normally blenders have an opening on the top so you can put things in it and then start the blender. This blender on the other hand is like a cup that you fill up and then you turn it upside down and attach it to the motor. This is convenient because you are able to actually use the top part as a cup. It even comes with different types of lids. You can quickly make a smoothy or shake and then take the top off and it turns into a cup. This blender is made out of high quality materials and is very simple to use. It has suction cups on the bottom so that it attaches to the counter top and does not move all around while being used. The only downsides would be its size. It is made for personal serving sizes and cannot fit a large amount inside of it. However, this is not really a downfall at all if you are making one thing at a time. It is also loud but it is a blender and I do not think there is a such thing as a quiet blender. Overall, this is a really nice and innovative blender. It does not take up a lot of space and is great for anyone looking to make some healthy drinks.

Great idea but more comparability needed.

The Logitech crayon is an awesome concept. It works just as you would expect it to. It offers precise drawing or navigating, tilts functionality, and palm rejection technology just like the apple pencil. I actually prefer the feel of the crayon because it has more grip and not completely round. It is easy to charge and also does not take extremely long to charge. I also like how you can plug the charger in unlike the apple pencil which needs an adapter. The biggest downfall to this device is its compatibility. Currently it is only able to be used with one iPad which is a huge downfall for users of the PRO line that would like to use it as well. Overall if this is compatible with your iPad i would highly recommend it.

Best speaker for its size
on September 17, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Ultimate Ears makes some of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market. I have owned previous versions of the speaker and have been a long-time fan of them. This new speaker is no exception. It has some slight tweaks that make an already great speaker that much better. The overall build quality and feel to the speaker is great and improved over previous versions. Although the design is only a slight change it feels much more premium and I am a huge fan of the new design versus the old. Having owned many UE speakers, I can say they really upgraded it this year. It is hard to improve and already great speaker but the boom 3 offers deep bass and rich sounds. The sound is amazing, and the speaker allows you to take that sound with you anywhere. Since this speaker is water proof you can take it outside near the pool or to the beach. Even outdoors it has a large enough sound to fill the space. I love that you can use the app to connect multiple speakers at once. With multiple speakers hooked together this device is unstoppable. Battery life is on the shorter end compared to some speakers but honestly it is more than enough. Rated at around 15 hours it should be plenty for any need. Ultimate Ears also makes a charging dock for this speaker that allows you to place the speaker on and charge while using it, then grab the speaker and run when you need. Anyone looking for a durable, loud, great sounding compact speaker should look at this as an option. I highly recommend this speaker.

BEST DRONE FOR THE SIZE AND FEATURES
on September 17, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I have owned many drones before both small and large. I am extremely glad to have discovered the Autel Evo drone. The one problem with many drones of the past is how large and bulky they are. Most people want to take their drone with them everywhere they go to capture memories. If you must carry around a large bag full of a large drone and other parts, then this can be complicated. This drone is Autel’s solution to this problem. It takes a 4k camera, long batter life, high speeds, and long range and packs it into a foldable small package that you can easily through into any bag along side your other gear. This drone only comes in one color which is orange, but I feel it is very fitting and looks amazing when zipping through the air. Starting with the camera, this drone is packed with a very nice 4k camera that allows for ultra-high definition videos. One thing that Autel did very good was designing the gimble. A lot of the smaller compact drones on the market are not able to pack a great gimble. This gimble feels both sturdy and it produce very stable video even under high wind. This drone is packed with obstacle avoidance system. It works well and can detect and maneuver around obstacles. The only downfall to this system that I have found is rear detection. It will detect something is there, but it will not stop. It is possible this can be fixed with a hardware update. When high speed mode is enabled, obstacle avoidance will still alert you, but the drone will not stop from crashing into something. Overall the obstacle avoidance that it does have is much better than most other drones. I was incredibly impressed with how stable the drone was. It was able to lock onto its location via GPS and even under high wins it held steady with no problem. The drone can be quite sluggish when ludicrous mode is not enabled but once this mode is enabled I could not believe how zippy the drone was. It could reach speeds up to 45 mph and the best part was, it was still very predictable and under control. The build quality of the drone is a lot better than I expected. I expected a light and plastic drone, but this is not the case. Although the drone is lighter than a lot of drones it feels premium. It also has a combination of both plastic and metal to give it a very premium feel over the competition. Battery life was rated at 30 minutes but actual in the air time I found to be just over 20 minutes. I do not think this a huge downfall because you can easily carry extra batteries and 20 minutes is more than enough time to be in the air. In addition, depending on how fast you are going, wind resistance, and movement drastically changed how fast the battery died. The remote control for this drone was impressive. It has a decent size screen on it that when combined with a smart phone it offers more than enough controls to get the best shots. I love how compact the controller is, but it has many buttons for easy access to things while flying. The only downfall to the controller is there was Micro USB and USB-c cables included but no iPhone cable. This is not a huge downfall, but iPhones are very popular, and it would have been a nice edition. It was interesting that the controller has fans and vents inside of it which goes to show there is most likely a lot of technology packed into the controller. For a folding and compact controller, it feels a lot better to hold in the hand than many other comparable drones. This drone is also packed with some smart features that allow for active tracking and other things that will help you autonomously get video footage. The only downfall that I have found is that you can enable a faster speed mode, but you must hunt for it in the settings. It would be nice if there was a quicker way to enable faster flights. This is not a huge downfall though because I will keep it in that mode most often. Anyone looking for a high-quality compact in size drone I would give this drone a try over some of the competition. Although the company is somewhat new to the drone business the drone is very high quality and very competitive to the competition. I highly recommend this drone for anyone who is looking to get great quality video/pictures in a small package.

Absolute Best Headphones currently on the Market!
on September 11, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
There is not enough stars to give these headphones. It is hard to believe that Sony was able to take such a great headphone and make it even better with added features over the previous rendition. I hands down believe these are the best noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones that currently exists. Their are a few close competitors but nothing is able to beat these with there added features. The design quality is slightly upgraded from the previous generation and all of the negatives have been addressed. For example, the bad sits closer to your head making them less bulky. The top padding and ear cups are very soft and will allow you to use these all day without feeling discomfort. They are slightly heavier than other headphones but you are not able to tell once they are on your head. They are built out of high quality materials and leather which should last and hold up against anything. I am a huge fan of the color schemes as they have a high quality professional look to them. I could not believe how well the noise cancelling worked on these headphones. It is like nothing else I have used before. Their are many adjustments to the noise cancelling that you can make depending on the environment that you are in. One of my favorite features was being able to cup the right ear with my hand and it silenced any audio and enhanced the audio from you surroundings. This allows for you to listen to someone or communicate without having to take off your headphones. The touch controls on the side ear cup are very straight forward and easy to use although I found them to be sensitive. If you accidentally touch them you will pause, skip etc. your audio. This was not a huge issue and the controls can be locked if needed. The Sony connect app allows for many different settings to be changed or controlled. The sound quality of these headphones is top of the line as well. Trebles and bass combined with the noise cancelling makes you feel like you are in another world. All of the sound settings can be adjusted within the app to your liking or preference. I also love that these charge via USB-C as this is a universal charger that many devices now use. In addition to that, the battery life is one of the highest on the market. Fast charging can offer 5 hours of life off of a 10 minute charge which is great if you forgot to charge them but did not have much time to charge them up. The only negative thing I can say about these headphones is the battery indicator seemed to be having issues. I believe this will be addressed right away in a software update but it would say 100% then 0% then 50% and back to 100%. It is possible that after a complete cycle of the battery this could be fixed as well. These headphones are worth every penny for anyone who travels or commutes and just wants to tune out the world. I have yet to experience something better in any other noise cancelling headphone.

Decent Portable Speaker
on September 11, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
This is a decent speaker made by LG. I believe that it is an extremely competitive market for Bluetooth speakers. This speaker is made out of high quality materials. It feels durable and has a decent weight to it. The good things about this speaker is that the sounds are clear and it has a decent bass. It offers very good battery life which can last all day long. Its very easy to set up and take anywhere. It is durable enough for both indoor or outdoor use. It offers LED lighting on the front that changes colors and offers an awesome effect. Possibly one of the best things is that it charges via USB-C. The more devices that charge with this universal charger, the less charges you need to carry. Their are a few negatives to this speaker. The first is that it does not get very loud. It gets loud enough but if you want to use it for a large group of people I do not think it would be the best speaker. The next thing is the exterior design. It has these handles/bars all around it. They are convenient for carrying and possibly add more protection, but they make it extremely bulky. It would be a lot easier to pack away in a bag or storage if it did not have these added handles. The last thing which is more of an annoyance is that the back cover is hard to open without something to pry it. This is where the charger and a few other ports exists. I assume it is hard to open to keep water out, but there should be a bigger opening to allow someone to open it with their finger. Overall this is a decent speaker and I would still recommend giving it a chance.

One of the Better wireless gaming headsets!
on September 4, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I have used many different gaming headsets but this is one of the few wireless ones and the only Alienware one. It is a great headset overall. Starting off with the design, it does not feel cheap at all. It is made out of high quality materials and feels solid. Due to the fact that it is a wireless headset, it is heavier than wired ones alike but it is not too heavy that it hurts your head. Being an Alienware gaming accessory it has color changing lights on the outside of the headset which are ascetically pleasing. As far as connectivity they offer a wired connection along with a wireless connection. The wireless connection is via USB and i was impressed that it even worked on the latest gaming consoles not just PC. This makes it a great choice for anyone who games on multiple platforms. The sound quality is amazing and their are no complaints. These headphones make you feel like you are actually in the game and in some instances can help you determine where enemies are at in first person shooters. I would highly recommend these to anyone who is a serious gamer. PC users will have the most customization but these can easily be used on other gaming consoles.

Only at Best BuyWatch movies and TV shows anywhere on this 12-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 2-in-1 tablet. It has a Super AMOLED display that supports 4K resolution to replicate the movie theater experience, and its S Pen provides precision in creative projects. This Samsung Galaxy Book 2-in-1 tablet has a battery life of up to 10.5 hours.
You only get 128GB SSD and 4GB of Memory for this price? Fail.
The one thing to remember is that it comes bundled with a keyboard and Pen. Compared to the competitors and what you get in this computer it is well worth the price for what is on the market. It would be nice to see the inclusion of a minimum 8gb of ram but the 128gb SSD isn't bad considering you can expand the memory using a micro SD card up to an additional 256gb.

Will any version of the Galaxy Book have a backlit keyboard like the Surface Pro? How is this keyboard different from the Tab Pro S?
The keyboard that comes with the galaxy book is backlit! Although I am not very familiar with the Tab pro S keyboard I believe the overall keyboard is a little larger with more spread out keys and has a larger trackpad on the galaxy book
