Best Keyboard ever!
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
This keyboard is great in so many ways. It is hefty and durable which is great for holding up during long hours of gaming. The keyboard is rated to be dust and water resistant and from my testing so far I would agree that it holds up to these standards. The build quality is way above average. The keys are very responsive and they allow for easy and responsive feedback. One of my favorite things about the keyboard is the backlighting and ability for customization. The program is easy to use to customize it although you will need intermediate computer skills to figure it out. The amount of customization is endless. I would recommend this keyboard to anyone who needs a gaming keyboard or just wants a durable and customizable keyboard.

Good Attenna but could use some improvements.

I think that usability of this antenna will really come down to where you live. According to the website I live in an area that can get free channels. However, I moved it several different places and plugged it into power and was only able to get at most 12 channels. I believe it could be the location of my house and the signal is getting blocked by other houses. I think depending where you live will depend if it is worth it to buy one. As far as build quality it kind of seems flimsy and not sure how well it would hold up in a storm or outside in the elements. On a positive note, the quality of the video that comes out of it is very good. It says it can do 4k televisions which I do not see how this is possible through a cable connection but it was crystal clear quality on my TV.

Great sound from a small speaker!
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
Out of the box this speaker was easy to connect via Bluetooth to my phone. It is made out of decent materials and feels well constructed. I have tested many speakers and usually the smaller ones do not have the best sound quality. This is not the case with this speaker. It packs a big punch with all the right sounds. One of the coolest features is that if you download the App you are able to tap certain parts of the speaker to replicate percussion and drum sounds. The battery life on the speaker is one of the better for its size too which is a bonus for portability.

Great Projector
on March 15, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I have never owned a projector but I have use many of them in a work setting. The one thing I loved about this projector was that it came with a carry case. This makes it very convenient if you have to take it anywhere to do a presentation. The other thing is that it is not very large or heavy. In regards to setting it up, it was very simple to plug in and turn on. All of the necessary adjustments were easy to make as well. All of the needed cables were supplied as well except for an HDMI. The color and brightness were outstanding. My only suggestion would be getting a projector screen rather that using a wall because the image will be clearer.

Excellent Headphones
on March 7, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
These head phones are pretty straight forward. Right out of the box they are easy to set up and pair with your phone. I love that they are light weight, this is a bonus for working out. The sound quality is not bad at all. My only complaint about them is that they are oddly shaped. They fit in my ears but not as well as some other headphones do. For the price they are definitely worth it if you are looking for a good pair of wireless headphones for working out.

Great device with minor flaws
on February 16, 2018
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
The Garmin Speak Plus is a great concept but it does come with a few flaws. It packs so many awesome features into such a tiny package. Starting with setup, it is pretty simple as it just comes with the GPS and a power cord. You simply stick it to your window and then route the chord and plug into a cigarette lighter. This comes to my first downfall. It attaches to the window with a sticky. I wish there was a better way to attach to the window such as a suction cup. This being said, it doesn’t fall down easily. Connecting to the app was simple as downloading and following the instructions to connect. My next down fall is that it at times had connection issues. This included losing data connection when trying to navigate. In addition to that if you want to see live video from the dash cam or look at saved footage you have to disconnect it from Bluetooth, connect through your phone Wi-Fi, and use another app. I also have yet to find a way to get the SD card out of the camera to view the footage on the computer. The footage that it does capture is great if you are able to actually use it. When I went to download a clip that was 3 mins long it got about halfway done (after 10 mins) but then the connection failed and I could not get the clip. In regards to the video quality and the forward collision/lane departure warnings, it is all great and even impressed me in the dark. The navigation worked well and was simple to read the directions. The only downfall was that I couldn’t really find anyway in the app to stop navigating or change route. My last flaw about the device is the audio. You have two options, the audio can come out of the device itself or through your vehicles Bluetooth. When I drive I normally listen to my radio and you cannot simultaneously listen to the radio and Bluetooth audio. I also tried having the audio go through the Speak Plus but the speaker was not loud at all and it took my phone call audio through the speak plus with this option as well. Overall this device can do a lot and I will be integrating it into my daily drives. I am hoping that with future updates all the little flaws will be fixed. The flaws are not enough to steer me away from this device but if you do not need everything this device offers a standalone GPS or dash camera could be a better option.

Great Gaming Mouse
on December 28, 2017
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
I have always been a fan of Logitech mice. Finding a good wireless gaming mouse is close to impossibly. The battery life and latency of this mouse is one of the best on the market. For competitive gaming you will still need to use the mouse with a wired connection. Most regular gaming the mouse will work perfectly fine wirelessly. The mouse itself is very simple in design and has very few physical buttons.

Awesome lights!
on December 20, 2017
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
The technology in these light are awesome. My favorite part is that you are able to change the color of the white. From a yellowish white all the way to a bright white. They are also energy efficient and outlast traditional light bulbs in life expectancy. The only downside to these lights is that you have to buy an additional hub in order to control them. Without the hub they still work as regular light bulbs but you cannot choose which color white they are.

Must have for professional users
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
If you are a small business owner or professional user this program will be a must have upgrade over the standard adobe reader. It gives you much more ability to edit and add things to your PDF. The only downside is that there are so many features that can be useful but that is only if you know what they are. This program should be able to do anything and more that anyone would need to do to a PDF. Highly recommend for pro users.

Awesome media editing software!
on November 17, 2017
Posted by: dlowen
from Tacoma, Wa
As a photographer I have used adobe products for years. I personally believe they have some of the best editing software. Adobe photoshop and premier elements 2018 are welcomed updates to the software suite. They are both feature loaded and allow me to produce professional quality photos and videos. The only downside that I see to this software is that at some point it will become outdated. It is still a great set of software for anyone who does not want to be tied down to a subscription based software.

Ultra-light and portable profile, the apps* you use every day, premium materials, and a choice of must-have colors will make this your go-to laptop. ²Up to 13 hours of battery life based on typical Surface device usage.

All settings were default except screen brightness was set to 150nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage and other factors.
