What's in the Box ------------------ 1. Router 2. Power Adapter 3. Network cable 4. User Guide
Connecting and Turning On -------------------------
Simple, Power on, connect the internet cable from your modem to the router and then **Important** you are not online yet until you go to http://myrouter.local and configure it
Once Configured, you are online.
Simple Speed Test -----------------
So, you can name the 2.4 Ghz seperately or give it the same name so it connects automatically to either 2.4 or 5 Ghz. i was able to get very good speeds in my house. i have a 3000 sqft house and i was using an Asus RT-66U router at home and i would get very low speed in the room furthest from the router.
As you can see from the pictures, i tested using 5Ghz and was able to get 14-15 Mpbs download more speed as compared to the Asus Router in the same spot. I was also able to get 4-5 Mbps download better speeds using 2.4Ghz. I would say that this router works very well for a large house
Prioritzation -------------
The Router includes Killer Prioritization built in default and i have a dell inspiron Ryzen 7 PC which i use as a regular desktop and a gaming pc. i played Battlefield 3 on the PC and the router automatically recognized the PC having killer network chipset and was able to prioritize the device list on top of the list (you can check at http://myrouter.local) to look at all the devices and who is connected.
you can also manually configure these up or down depending on which devices you want them to be on the prioritize list
Other Features --------------- The router has a USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0/eSATA for connecting enclosures with multiple drives
the router has also guest network configuration in the advanced settings
Verdict/Overall ---------------
A good router which doubles up also as a regular router, i am going to replace my Asus RT 66U with this one.

What's in the Box ------------------------ Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Speaker USB cable Owner's manual
What's the Cost --------------------- About 110$ at the time of review
How does it look ---------------------- it is small to fit in your palm and that is the intend. it comes with a nice rubberized strap which can be used to either strap it your backpack or bike or even your palm! it looks sturdy. it is IPX7 rated. i am not too much worried about dropping it in water or toilet but IPX7 also means that it is waterproof and well built which is more important for me
It is also made of silicon rubber exterior and feels nice in hand. in addition to feeling nice, it also means that when you drop it, you dont have to worry about denting it.
How does it connect -------------------------- it connects via bluetooth to any bluetooth capable device. I used my phone to test it out. i connected to my Alexa echo dot to this speaker and it connects seamlessly and plays my amazon music. it is rated at 6 hours of battery, i did not get a chance to fully test it yet.
How does it sound ------------------------- i have two other bluetooth speakers at home. i have the bose soundlink mini and i also have a TDK life on record TREK 360. One thing about bose is that you can clearly hear all the instruments used and with great amount of clarity, be it the bose mini or the bose micro.
I have to tell you that i am comparing apples to oranges here and i did this on purpose. I wanted to check how good/bad the speaker sounded when compared to bigger speakers. I am happy to say that i am pleasantly surprised to hear the music play on this one. it does really sounds larger than it looks. It is physically small in size which also means that the bass response will not be as good as a bigger speaker and that is expected.
Should i buy it? -------------------- If you are on the go or you live in a dorm and need a small speaker and dont want headphones on all the time when you are listening to music or movies, this is a good buy. The Competion for this speaker would be the JBL Flip 2 or the UE wonderboom or roll 2.
you are only a few dollars here and there, get the bose, you will be happy!!

What's in the box ----------------- Dell Inspiron Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 580 - 1TB Hard Drive Dell KB216 wired keyboard & Wired Mouse Included DVD RW Drive Bluetooth capable HDMI & USB Type C
Windows 10 Installed
So What's a Gaming desktop --------------------------- - A gaming computer is a personal computer designed for playing computationally demanding video games. So what makes this different? It is the AMD Ryzen 7 1700x which has 8 core processing & AMD Radeon RX 580 Graphics card, it;s the combination along with the 16GB RAM which rocks this thing!
This thing is 8 core as compared to Any dell i7 Desktop which is 4 core and that really makes it different that any i7 desktop
How does it look -----------------
really looks massive and pretty, the blue accent lighting makes it stand out. This paired with an alienware 25 inch monitor totally looks out of the world
AMD? Really? Yes! Its changed ------------------------------ I used to have a few laptops running AMD A8, A10 and they were never able to compete with the intel's desktop which used to be super smooth and not lagging like the AMDs
BUT, THIS THING IS AGAME CHANGER FOR AMD!
How did i test --------------
I bought the latest Battlefield 4 game and i also have played battlefield 4 on the xbox one. This one beats that thing out of the water. i also bought a set of nice logitech speakers to go with this. the room really looks like the den now, love it
Worth the purchase ------------------ you are not buying a 300$ desktop, this is the top of the line desktop, so you will need to compare it to an i7 to be fair, with that being said, i can sell off my xbox one and play games on this one, also doubles up as a regular work desktop , so why not!

Cons 1. Ink Price (They have something called Inta ink subscription, not tried)
What's the HP Envy Photo 6255? -----------------------------
It's a wireless HP All in one printer which can Print Pages, Photos, Fax, Copy and Scan. Its a low profile so, i can plug it in and put it under my bed & since it is wireless, it can print from under my bed!
Design and Features? -------------------- it uses 2 64 or 64 xl black and tri color inks & it is pure black with a nice mono chrome LCD screen in front.
THe front panel becomes the feeder for paper and photo paper. the top part can be used for copying and scanning.
At the back there is a USB Socket, but people are going to connect wirelessly and the printer does not come with a cable and it is assumed that most folks will connect wirelessly and it supports both 2.4 and 5Ghz Bands so it helps if you have a large houses wherein 2.4 does not reach or the speed is not so good
Print Quality and Speed? ------------------------
i am a little biased towards laser printer and i do not print may photos at home so i am biased towards a laser printer, but i have to say that my laser printer is also wired and this is wired so, i wont worry about the speed as i am sitting my couch and printing and by the time i walk upstairs to pick the prints, they should be done (Depends on the pages ofcourse!
Now, Photo quality, i was pleasantly surprised at the print quality of the pictures, same as what you would get a store that makes me think, wny not print the pictures at the comfort of my home. i am not able to quantify as to how many photo prints i can do with the cartridges provided. time will tell.
Now for the best part ---------------------
the best part i like about it is the HP Smart app which can be either installed on the android or ios device and it connects seamlessly to the printer and i can print photos and documents directly from my phone.
1. i can print photos from my phone or stored at a cloud account or even facebook
2. i can scan documents directly from the printer to my phone.

firstly the packaging, it is slim and does not make it feel like it is a full sized juicer. that's a good thing the instructions are very straightforward, i just looked at the pictures to assemble it and did not even have to read the instructions. it comes with 2 bins, on for collecting the juice and the other for pulp.
2. Making the Juice.
i do have a jack lalanne juicer which i use regularly before getting this, my son loves fresh juices (Oranges).
So i have to say that i am comparing a centrifugal juicer vs a masticating juicer. Now, for those who do not know what a centrifugal juicer is that these types of juicer operate at very high speed, they crush the produce and push them against a porous wall where the juice the flow through the pores and the remains of the fruit is collected in a containter.
Masticating juicer push the fruit through a crusher and then the juice is separated from the fruit and flows into a container. they operate at low speed and they also have a small opening vs a larger opening on the centrifugal juicer.
Now using the Philips Avance Juicer,
I tried first with apples and i have to say that i got a lot more juice as compare to the jack lallanee juicer so i have to believe that mastication is not just a gimmick
Next i tried some carrots, i did have to put in a little more pressure as compare to the jack lallane juicer but again the quantity of the juice was pretty good.
3. Pros and Cons
Pros -
- more nutrients are retained and more juice extracted - tastes better much better as compared to the regular centrifugal juice - you can store the juice longer - cleaning is easier, much better than the centrifugal juicer
cons - - the feeding tube is small as compared to centrifugal juicer

I very pleased with the build quality on the Ninja Coffee maker. its mostly plastic with some chrome and metal. looks good on my countertop with a big logo saying Ninja
Coffee Options --------------------
First of all, its not a pod based coffee machine. it is like a traditional coffee maker but the biggest difference is that it has a reservoir snd it also knows how much to dispense in quality based on the selection which means, you save money on the coffee also, you can either get coffee in a mug, travel mug or caraffee just by selecting the option appropriately.
there are also options on selecting regular strength or may be get the rich coffee
Timer --------
you can set the time appropriately and it will brew your coffee at the time you want. great conveinence ...
Cleaning ------------
it has a cleaning cycle, I have not tried it yet but its good to do once a month and its a great automated cleaning option
