Fast speeds. Power efficiency. Temperature control. It’s everything you want in a storage device. It's compatible with the latest PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 5.0 x2 interfaces, and boasts improved performance compared to 970 EVO Plus.

The Samsung EVO is all about affordability thus affording a larger capacity
yet sacrificing performance. This would not be best for gaming, but, more
for the average user that enjoys more speed when paired with a 4.0 Pcie
or 5.0 Pcie interface. I would say this is best suited for desktop use for
power consumption not being an issue.
The TLC NAND flash memory is mainly part of the reduced cost and has
Less expected longevity, approximately 3 to 5 years depending on the user.
The pro version uses the MLC NAND flash memory which offers true
Performance and longevity.
Still read and write speeds are impressive. See Attached Test.
I did notice the PC boots a little slower, however, not terrible.
I do music production and found it did ok when mixing multiple tracks.
No crashes or hesitations.
The Samsung magician software does a good job of cloning and
Maintaining the drive. There are many options including performance
Enhancements. Samsung also combined the cloning and maintaining
all in one interface. The other nice thing when cloning using a C port, found
147mps transfer speeds.
So, if you need more storage and don’t want to break the bank then
Trusting Samsung is still the best innovative product out there.
In a nut shell
Ease and speed of cloning to the new drive
Decent speed with more storage at a lower cost
Samsung quality!

Pretty much every Asus PC has some sort of gaming aspect in mind
and this particular LT does not disappoint in its performance, however,
I did some extensive research including opening up this unit to verify
if any upgradeability is possible. 8 Gb of Ram is built into the board
and no 2nd slot for more ram. But…This Ram is LPDDR5 6400 MHz.
which is slightly faster than the previous Gen. Paired with a Intel
I5 ultra with 14 cores and 18 threads. 18 MB Cache with
Intel AI boost NPU (4 of the cores are High performance)
PCIE Gen 4. I did verify a removable M.2 (currently 512 Gb) but my
Search did not render how much the system would take, but I will be
Testing its limits. See Further info here at Asus.

Ring’s best battery-powered doorbell camera, loaded with cutting-edge features. Battery Doorbell Pro delivers Head-to-Toe HD+ Video, super-precise 3D Motion Detection with Bird's Eye View that shows you where visitors went on an overhead map of your property, and more.
Posted by: billr920
This is my first Ring Door Bell. I was impressed with the size of this
device. Installation took 5 minutes due to I opted for the battery
version. It also has existing wires if you decide to wire in instead.
The battery did take a while to charge fully. Connecting to my
network was easy.

My experience has mixed feelings but I have to consider that I
have only had this for approx. 5 days.
The daytime views are very good. Night time view is pixelated
approximately 30 feet out. Up close images are good. Full view
is nice and able to zoom and move view around to see to the side.

My connectivity to the camera has been intermittent especially
when going through my home network. Seems to work better
when using phone with cellular instead. Still trying to figure that
out especially since all my other devices are connecting with no
issues. I did have one instance a package was delivered and it
caught that image, but 10 seconds later I had another package
waiting for pick up and It did not capture that event. Nothings
perfect right!

I will most likely take the subscription to access all the features.
I do like being able to screen shoot an image if desired. I am also
still experimenting with tweaking time recording durations and
how often to have the camera algorithm set.
I like the preset messages and may use them from time to time.
Two way communication is good also. After checking the features
between the various Ring Door Bells, I think the pro version is
definitely worth getting with all of its features and capabilities.

This monitor exceeds my expectations. Easy set up and a cord pass
through behind the stand to keep things tidy. After set up I downloaded
the HP Display Center which allows many customizations. In the Input
tab for instance, you have the ability of switching from the default of
65hz to 100hz refresh rate. Super fast motion. Movies, games etc..
work great. I use this display mostly for music production so the larger
real estate allows me to see so much more of my recording software. I
have this connected to a HP desktop for my use.

This is a very thin stylish looking monitor. Adjusting the tilt of the display
is very easy. HP includes the HDMI cable and the packaging is over the
top. Very well protected as mine was shipped to me.

Set up time was pretty average for a windows laptop with a basic 2 core non-I series processor.
Once set up, found navigating very difficult. Very slow internet and general use “was”
difficult, However, I did rectify the issue! The hardware was not the issue. The Lenovo configuration
was mostly the cause with some of their drivers along with win 11 Home S.
so, I uninstalled the OS and reformatted the drive and installed regular windows 11 Home version.
I let MS windows find most of the drivers that I needed with the exception of 1 driver which I manually Installed. Now I have a decent working laptop with some decent speed and a few great features.

Keyboard is not back lit and no 10 key. Power button does not have a fingerprint sensor.
The camera has a privacy cover. Opening the lid does power on the laptop which can be turned off
in the bios if desired.

This does have a very basic processor so keep in mind this machine is really only designed to
provide basic computing needs. Checking emails, casual surfing and watching videos.
Not a multitasking machine. I do like that it is extremely light weight which makes it a nice

My experience was unique. The included software in my case was the downside for proper functionality. Most of these machines are working ok as indicated by other users.
I would only recommend if you are on a small budget and only needing very basic computing.

With two 10 GbE ports and Wi-Fi 7 technology, eero max 7 can provide more than twice the speed of Wi-Fi 6. This isn't a minor upgrade, this is a whole new level of fast.
Posted by: billr920
Important things first: WiFi 7. So this is a future proof as most current devices
will only connect at WiFi 6 speeds which is still plenty fast for most needs.
Also 4 ethernet ports on each router-2.5 and 10 Gbe for super speed connection.
Ultra High Performance for any task or gaming preference. Up to 5000 sq feet on
The 320 MHz channel.

Set Up was surprisingly easy and super fast. This is the first of several mesh systems
That I have used where setup was almost automatic. It took very little effort. I kid you
Not, was up and running in less than 2 minutes with no headaches. I set up with my
Current custom ssid and password credentials and everything connected and auto
Configured to the router. The only changes I needed to make were more of a preference.
I noticed some of my devices connected at 2.4 Ghz and I prefer 5.0 Ghz. I was looking
More for speed rather that distance.

Speed test’s proved its worth. I tested from the corner of my basement which is
Approximately 300 feet away from the router and found I connected at my full ISP
speed +50 download and my full expected upload speed. After approx. 1 week of
use I have found a consistent connection for all devices ( 10 devices ) I have an app TV
so it was very important for a consistent connection as I do not have a cable provider.

You will find that these mesh units are somewhat heavy which I like, makes them feel
like quality units that are well built. The packaging also provides a quality experience.
The included ethernet cable is of a nice quality also.

The app works great and allows you to block users or intruders. For more advanced
features such as security or VPN you will need to have a monthly or yearly
Subscription and can be set up though the app.

The Essential Outdoor Camera delivers smart home security with clear 1080p HD resolution. You’ll get alerts and be able to watch live video right from your phone. Use the Integrated Spotlight Ward to ward off intruders or trigger the Integrated Siren automatically or manually from the Arlo Secure App. Even in low light you’ll be able to identify details with Color Night Vision. Or try the noise-canceling audio to hear and speak clearly with visitors. Setup is quick and easy and only takes minutes by connecting directly to Wi-Fi. You can install it with full confidence thanks to its rechargeable battery and weather-resistant design. An Arlo Secure plan trial is included. After trial, a paid plan is required to keep premium features like 30-day video cloud storage, People, Package, Vehicle Detection, 24/7 Emergency Response, and more.

The Camera has a nice solid feel and weight. Mounting the camera is super easy. Had an approximate 50% charge, so I charged the camera to full per recommendation before set up! The included USB C cable is definitly worth using due to it fits properly in the charging cavity. The other C cables I own were too large.
I had a super difficult time paring and linking to my 2.4ghz network using the app and stopped trying after approx 2 hours. Tried again the next night and was successful.
Picture Quality and spread was very good HD. I did notice an approimately 2 second latency from camera to phone so real time for my experience had a delay. Now that could depend on your network speed. The led light is very bright and activated every time but I eventually turned it off in the app. Night color vision was good but only available with the light turned on.
I am using the camera during the Trial period, using all the extras such as 30 day cloud storage, emergency services and camera functions. You will loose these extras after the trial unless you sign up for a subscription and there are different levels.
Based on the camera performance which in my experience is slightly sluggish, but considering the low cost of purchase this camera will be ok for live view (no subscription) if you want to just keep and extras view on things.

Finally, with 5 levels of transparency, you can adjust your ambient sound and make conversation easier.

My first impression started with the packaging. Quality packaging shows
the brands expectations of their products and I knew the experience
would be good. Even the carry pouch is a nice thick canvas mesh material.

In the box came a USB “C” charging cable and 3.5” cable for audio so you
have the option of wireless or cable. I am glad more venders are making
this available to the consumer as I use both depending on my use of the
Phones.

Now, my initial set up did not go well. I could not pair the Phones to my
cell using the app, however, I realized I was using an app that was already
on my phone for another Soundcore product, so I updated the app and
was on my way to a successful pairing. I also received a firmware update.

The sound quality let me hear tonal nuances of instruments and vocals
as if I was in the studio with the artist. Very clear sound experience. I did try
manual EQ in the app so I could achieve more bass, but was not impressed
with the results. I also used the app defaults which include 8 choices.
Signature, Bass booster, Classical, Dance, Acoustic, Bass reducer, Podcast and
Deep. I was satisfied with these choices.
HearID adds another dimension to customize your listening experience.
Easy chat is yet another included feature for phone conversations and you
will need to enable this feature in the app. I did make some calls and quality
was satisfactory. You can also customize the hard buttons on the phones
Switching between ANC and Transparency is easy with hard button on the
phones. ANC worked great, no complaints.

Don’t let power surges damage your valuable electronics. Protect your connected devices with the Insignia NS-HW608 8-Outlet 1,200 Joules Surge Protector. Its 1,200-joule rating helps keep equipment in your home or office safe from harmful power surges. Safely connect up to 8 wall chargers at the same time. It has four standard-spaced plugs and four wide-spaced outlets, letting you connect even the bulkiest plugs. The 6 ft. power cord offers flexible placement options to better suit your needs, and a handy LED indicator shows when your surge protector is grounded and protecting your equipment, so you can have confidence in this Insignia Surge Protector.
Posted by: billr920
With Insignia being a Best Buy house brand, You get affordable products that fit your needs. This particular Surge Protector appears to be a replacement for the 8 outlet 600 joules design with this New 8 outlet 1200 joules design to be more compatible with todays electrical demands.
This protector now has a 6 foot power cord which I think better accomodates todays larger credenzas for larger TV's or limited access to wall outlets. The protector that I am replacing is much heavier than the Insignia and leaves me to wonder whats under the hood so-to-speak! This is a very straight forward design and very small with 8 outlets that are well placed for spacing between cords. If I had to pick one outstanding feature...The plugs fit tightly into the sockets as if they were locked into place. I have had other protectors where the plugs were loose in the sockets and easily pulled out. There is a power button on the end and 2 LED's to let you know it is working.
You should consider replacing your surge protector approximately every 2 years, especially if it is constantly powered on as it will eventually loose its ability to protect. One sign of that is if you start to see erratic behavior with your devices, especially if they power off unexpectantly.

Introducing Pixel 8 Pro, the all-pro phone engineered by Google. It’s sleek, sophisticated, powerful, and secure. With Google AI, you can do more, even faster. [1] The triple camera system includes a dedicated 5x telephoto lens, improved autofocus, and full-resolution photography with Pro controls. And the all-day battery charges faster than ever. [2] [3]
Posted by: billr920
Obviously Google has outdone themselves again with a top notch Camera and Photo software! I love the auto focus, now all my pics are great. Macros could never be better than with this current Pixel Pro. Skin tones are captured better, especially in low light conditions. "Amazing Results" Cameras have been upgraded to include 50MP using new Pro control software. Just like using a professional camera. If you don't like one of you pics, then just select best take and AI will suggest which of your pics is the best. Need to put a smile on someone or remove an unwanted object? No problem with Magic Editor. Clear up your blurred Photos. Super Resolution Zoom up to 30x with Pixel Pro. You won't be disappointed.
The Phone sets up with ease and transferring from another device could not be easier. You will get Android 14 and ( 7 ) years for OS updates. (incredible) No one else offers this!!
The lock screen includes more customizations along with new Monochrome Themes. AI Wallpaper to give you more creativity.
Call Screen will sound more natural and can have a conversation with caller when screening your calls. Features include "Call Assist" "Google Assistant" "Assistant Voice Type" and "Live Translate"
Security is stepped up to include Face Unlock for phone and apps. Built in Google One VPN, you just need to turn it on. Proactive Security antimalware protection. Emergency Help always ready.
Download Magnifier to make tiny text easily visible. Object Temp Sensor to check beverages, food etc...Not for humans yet though. Included FitBit app has easy navagation format. and of course plenty of Google Phone accessories.
All this is Great, However, the best part for me is the Speed of the phone with the new Titan M2 Tensor G3 chip is robust with security and performance!
I could go on and on and on. You will Just have to get one for yourself. You won't be disappointed. Even if you are a long time user of other brands, this could easiy win you over.

Simplify personal grooming with this Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver. The ultra-fast motor and five-blade system make short work of facial hair by providing up to 70,000 cross-cuts per minute,.

Can you purchase a charge/clean station separately to work with this razor?
I have tried to investigate the possibility but so far have determined where there is normally electrical contacts on the razor handle for the cleaning station, they are capped off with black covers. Also the model number of the razor version that goes with the cleaning station is different.
