Versatile, powerful, portable
on November 2, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
With a *plethora* of modes and settings this thing is quite amazing for the package it's in. It's *very* portable and does exactly what my doctor's unit did, but without the co-pay! ;)
Things lacking:
1) The display shows only generic placement of pads which means you will *always* need the manual by your side to see exact placement for what you want to do/target.
2) The manual/materials provide no reference for where to buy more gel pads and no indication of how many uses you can expect to get out of the pads nor how to know when you need to replace the gel. I've used it a half-dozen times but have no idea when/where I'm supposed to get more of these. Additionally, there's little guidance in how to store the pads when you're done - I've been putting one of the blue covers that came on the gel between two pads and sticking them together for storage. Hope that is ok!
It's worth saying the strength of this thing is bananas. I've only gone to 11 out of what appears to be a possible max strength of 25-30 based on the indicators on-screen and, when I did, it was almost unbearable! I've also only used the EMS function, not TENS, so I can't speak to if/how effective that is.

Really only one application in mind
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
This was built w/ the application of putting it around the back of your monitor in mind, only. The magnets which hold the little controller aren't strong enough for under-table mounting, which is where I chose to put mine. It's constantly falling off.
The software to configuring the lights is confusing when it comes to setting up the order/size of the lights you've installed and I have found it's not consistent between channels one and two.
The controller/power supply isn't strong enough to wire all 4 lights to one of the outputs, so keep this in mind if you plan on buying more lights to extend the setup.
Initially I'd thought this would allow the dominant color of my screen to be shown w/ the lights but cannot figure out if/how this is possible w/ the given software. iCue in general is a very unintuitive system - I have a mouse from Corsair and it's equally confusing to configure & set up.
We also couldn't get it configured for mic/audio reaction, either.
If I can't figure out how to configure your stuff w/ what's in the box and the software you give me, you're not getting 5 stars. Needing to contact support, dive into forums, etc. means your User Experience isn't there.

Compact, fast, strong coffee
on October 30, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
I have only used this maker for iced coffee and found that following the directions printed on the scoop & top of the unit made it too strong, however the speed with which it makes the coffee is great! It's a compact unit and they thought through *all* the aspects of cleanup with each part being easily removable and rinseable.
I have found, though, that I have to put a lot more ice in my tumbler when using this vs just an espresso maker, presumably because of the duration that it's pouring the hot *percolated* coffee liquid over my ice. Nevertheless, I've been able to tune the output to my liking and use it every morning!

Primitive, noisy

It's a bit awkward to have to put the head of this in the freezer. Who has a freezer next to where you'd typically use something like this?
Additionally, it's very squeaky as you're using it. Overall, seems cheap and just isn't very convenient

Great for glasses
on September 23, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
The best part about this mask is that, as a wearer of glasses, I don't have the fogging up problem that so many other masks cause when worn "correctly" - without having to slide my glasses down my nose and onto the mask.
The seal formed by the filters helps direct all air down out of the mask instead of up into your glasses. That said, this same seal is tricky to get right and can start to feel a little uncomfortable after an hour or more wearing the mask. This is the reason for only a 4-star review. Similarly, the filters are a bit cumbersome to snap in as they don't really provide any tactile feedback you've got them fully snapped in besides simply falling off if you do it wrong.
The ear loops are comfortable and fit well, allowing for adjustment via the built-on sliders and breathing is easy.

It was easy to start up out of the box and it's easy to use. It is light weight so it's good for taking back and forth to school. The battery lasts a long time. When it has to be charged it charges fast. The size is good for using on a desk at school. It has a sticker to cover the camera so it can be closed when not using.

Questionable value
on August 16, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
1080p is yesterday's resolution, honestly. For this price one should expect 4k and/or a touchscreen.
Nevertheless, the unit performs admirable on everyday tasks and the ROG Gaming addons provide customizability as to the performance if you're willing to take on the fan noise.
Additionally, setting up Windows left me confused as I was prompted to use my fingerprint to log in, yet no fingerprint reader could be found on the base of the unit. Does it have one or not? Apparently, Windows thinks so but if there is one it's extremely poorly designed into the unit.
I also have consistent issues with 2-finger clicking to right click.
The lightweight portability and performance of this unit push it from 3 to 4 stars for me, but could easily be seen as a 3-star unit to others.

Amazing mix of power & portability
on August 3, 2021
Posted by: bc3tech
from Seattle, WA
This laptop is LIGHT. Yet the power that it packs is truly impressive. I game on this on a regular basis and the RTX capabilities are the first I've seen handle so many games with "full on" configuration. Aside from the power, the portability due to the lightweight nature and the fact that it comes with a carrying case is extremely convenient! It's also pretty cool that it has an RGB keyboard built right in which you can make do some fun color schemes ;)
While it does come with too much crapware installed, it's easily cleaned up by ripping through and uninstalling all the things you don't need after you get it set up.
Battery life is also great with good configuration management tools that allow you to spin down all the extras to squeeze out every watt of energy if you need to push the envelope.

Great phone with a few quirks
By 1tsatrap from Morehead City, NC
I bought this phone for personal use after having an Android phone for the past two years. When I came over I knew that I would have to re-purchase a lot of apps and that I was going to lose a lot of Google integration. Here are the main points I found coming over from Android to this phone:
Speed:
This thing is fast compared to the Android phone I had before and a lot of other much newer Android phones I have played with. The UI for Windows Phone 8 is smooth and responsive with no delay. Also, this thing gets 3 out of 5 bars of LTE service where my HTC Thunderbolt was only getting 1 bar out of 5 before.
Software:
App selection in the Windows App Store is pretty good. I was surprised to see the majority of the apps I used on Android available in one form or another on the Windows phone. Unfortunately what was missing was the stuff I used the most. This phone has no voice guided navigation unless you like using VZ Navigator for $2 a month. The Nokia phones use something called Nokia HERE but there is no such app for this HTC phone. The only option is a directions list that comes up on 3/4 of the screen under a tiny map. I travel a lot so this is a deal breaker for me that I didn't realize until I had used the phone for a few days. Otherwise I just miss my Google applications (drive, voice, currents, etc.) which is something to consider for anyone thinking about switching.
Look and feel:
Fantastic. This thing is built to be solid. At the bottom edge there's a slight gap between the polycarbonate and the screen where you can see light but it might just be a defect on the phone I have. My only complaint here is that the Micro USB charging slot is on the bottom of the phone which is where I usually put the weight of the phone on my pinky. If you're prone to holding and using this phone with one hand then make sure it's comfortable for you! My pinky is starting to rub raw where the polycarbonate stops and the charging port begins. This also makes it hard to charge the phone in the car right-side-up without using some kind of cradle.
Overall (TLDR):
Great phone with mobile OS growing pains. If it had a free navigation app that actually did turn-by-turn real time navigation then it would make a great daily driver. Know what you're getting and make sure to hold this phone before you commit to it! Also, if you have more than 14GB of music/photos and you actually want to use this phone for media then look at a different phone. 16GB of internal memory with no expandable storage and the OS takes 2GB.

Doesn't Nokia Drive come on the device, and offer the Turn-by-turn nav you're wanting?

When will this be available? Also can i add more ssd or hd? Finally how loud are the fans? Thank you

When you turn on full Turbo mode, the fans go to max as the GPU and CPU overclock. That said, they are extremely loud in this setting. With normal usage, however, they're not noticeable.

Does this oven emit a lot of heat and is the exterior very hot to the touch?

The top of the unit is considered a "cooling area" and does get hot. The sides and bottom, no. The front glass, yes very hot as well.

What is the Power use? Wattage?

Depends on the function you're using but anywhere from 1400-1800W is what I've observed through my Sense device thus far. I've used toaster, air fryer, reheat, and conventional modes.
