I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a laptop release. To be honest, I'm not really excited that it's an Envy x360, it’s what’s inside the new Envy x360 that’s exciting: the Ryzen 5 2500U. This is one of the first laptops to come with the new Ryzen mobile processors. I've been a fan of AMD since I put together my first budget gaming PC back in 2007. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the Envy x360 model itself isn’t exciting on its own, but it’s not HP’s more premium (and more expensive) Spectre x360.
The biggest thing I was looking forward to the most was the performance from the new Ryzen 5. AMD has been showing off benchmark scores and other various performance measurements to compare the new Ryzen 7 and 5 to the Intel i7 and i5, and it looks very good for AMD. One thing I (unfortunately) overlooked about this Envy x360 was storage: it comes with a 1TB HDD. The slow physical drive is absolutely holding this laptop back. As soon as prices for SSDs comes back down, I’m replacing it right away. Most tasks I need for school/work run extremely well (even with the HDD).
AMD promoted that the Ryzen mobile chips with Vega mobile graphics was superior to their i5 and i7 counterpart’s integrated graphics, but that’s not saying much. I tried a couple Blizzard games I own, since they’re usually more CPU-intensive than GPU. Starcraft II on lowest settings is almost unplayable. Hearthstone is playable on low settings, but it doesn’t run great (I gave up and went back to playing it on my iPhone 7+). Even Portal (the first one) on the lowest settings is barely playable, and it came out in 2010! If you’re looking to play any games, I would recommend looking for a laptop with a dedicated GPU.
For a laptop rocking a 15.6” display, the dimensions aren’t that bad. It’s a little thicker than what I’m used to (switching from a thin ultrabook), but what surprised me was the weight. If you’re a student that carries your laptop everywhere in your bag, you’re going to to really notice the weight after a while. I won’t count the weight as a negative aspect of the laptop, since it is a 15” laptop and not advertised as an ultrabook.
The display isn’t my favorite, but it still looks good. It’s a 1080p IPS display, colors seem decent (I can’t measure how accurate the colors are), but the screen isn’t very bright. Even at 60%, it still feels pretty dim for the setting. I’m assuming this is to help improve battery life. After the Ryzen 5, the 15.6” display is the 2nd biggest reason I wanted this laptop. After using a 13.3” display for so long, I really wanted more screen space when working in Visual Studio, IntelliJ, or even just typing up documents in MS Word of Google Docs.
Moving on to the battery: I really expected (a lot) more out of it. HP’s website claims that you can get up to 11 hours out of a full charge, but I don’t see how anyone could realistically get that. On a typical day I run the screen at 60% brightness, keyboard light off, connected to WiFi, 3-5 Chrome tabs open, Outlook and Gmail in the background (responding to emails as they come in), working in either Visual Studio or IntelliJ, streaming music with bluetooth headphones (low volume), and I’m getting around 3.5 hours of battery life. This is nowhere near the “up to 11 hours” advertised. It’s a 15” laptop (not an ultrabook), so I wasn’t expecting too much, but I’m still a little disappointed. I keep my charger with me in my backpack when I leave the house, so I’m not too upset, but it might be a deal-breaker for others.
The keyboard is backlit and has a numeric keypad. The keys are decent quality with good travel for a laptop. The only thing that take some getting used to (switching from a smaller ultrabook at least) is that they numeric keypad shifts the keyboard over to the left, causing you to place your hands off-center when typing. One thing about the keyboard that bothers me more than it should is the number lock key: it doesn’t have an indicator light similar to the caps lock or mute keys. There’s no way to know if the number lock is on or off until you try to use the keypad. There is also a little bit of screen wobble when typing, but this is pretty common with 2-in-1s.
The trackpad is okay, it doesn’t use the Windows Precision drivers, but I haven’t felt the urge to try and install them. Palm rejection is really excellent, I can think of MAYBE two times the cursor moved around randomly as I was typing. It does support left and right clicks from the bottom left/right corners.
The speakers are just above the keyboard and sounds pretty good for a laptop. It has the Bang & Olufsen branding, and (IMO) sounds better than other laptop speakers. It’s really good for video calls, but I would still use headphones when listening to music or watching movies (especially outside of home, nobody wants to be that person in the coffee shop making everyone around them listen to their choice of music).
Tthe Envy x360 does support Windows Hello and it works very well. This is the first laptop I’ve ever owned that supports it, so it’s a new (to me) feature that I really love. Video quality is okay, it’s not the greatest but it’s not the worst either.
Overall, I like the Envy x360 for what I need for school/work, but it could be MUCH better. The HDD absolutely was a mistake by HP. This is one of the first laptops to showcase Ryzen mobile, why would they hold it back so much with a physical drive? The screen should be brighter, but that would probably make the bad battery life even worse. On the topic of the battery: I wouldn’t be as upset about it if HP didn’t post “up to 11 hours” on their website. I really expected more from Vega Mobile, but I don’t know how much of the blame goes to the HDD as well. I still like the keyboard, trackpad, and the inclusion of a numeric keypad (even if it doesn’t have an indicator light for num lock). I really like having a 15.6” display for working in Visual Studio, IntelliJ, and MS Office. However, it’s hard for me to recommend this laptop unless you have an SSD ready to install, don’t mind keeping the charger with you wherever you go, and have no plans to play any real games on it.

The Ultimate Chromebook
on December 5, 2017
Posted by: Daniel
from Eagan, MN
I’ve owned a couple Chromebooks in the past, but none of them could compare to the Pixelbook in terms of power or build. One of my only real complaints about my previous Chromebooks was the build quality. Don’t get me wrong, they still worked very well, but it was extremely clear that I paid less than $400 for them. Even though it’s a cliche, it’s still true: you get what you pay for. You are paying for the premium build and specs with the Pixelbook, but wow, it is SOOOO worth it!
I can’t stress enough how much I LOVE the hardware. The Pixelbook has an aluminum body (with a class panel on the back for that Pixel Phone look), a gorgeous 3:2 display, and one of the best laptop keyboards I’ve ever used. I do wish that Google included the Pixelbook Pen in the box for the price of the Pixelbook, but that’s probably my only complaint.
Moving over to software, this is the same Chrome OS you know and love (which shouldn’t come as a surprise). The only difference is that this Chromebook has a 7th gen i5 and 128GB of flash storage to allow the OS to really stretch its legs. It doesn’t matter how many tabs I have open in Chrome, what I have running in the background, I have yet to see the Pixelbook slow down.
Speaking of software, you can access and download Android apps. Not all the apps work on the Pixelbook (Lineage 2: Revolution is unresponsive and the Facebook app really only works well if kept minimized as if run on a phone), but the important apps I use regularly (Outlook, Netflix, and OneDrive) work just fine as if I was using any other Android tablet.
Would I recommend the Pixelbook? Yes, but only if you’re already using Chrome OS. As much as I love the hardware and experience, the Pixelbook is a very expensive way to jump into Chrome OS. If you have an older Chromebook and want to stay with the OS and keep the insane battery life, yes, the Pixelbook is worth every penny.
PROS:
- Premium build quality
- Gorgeous display
- One of the best keyboards on a laptop
- Outstanding battery life with fast charging
- Access to the Google Play Store

Excellent Shaver
on October 19, 2017
Posted by: Daniel
from Eagan, MN
It's hard to find anything negative to say about this shaver. I love the rechargeable battery, included travel case, it's easy to clean, includes a trimmer adapter, and has a dock to charge+clean+lubricate the shaver. I love it!
If you're switching from traditional razors (like I am), it takes a little getting used to, but it's so nice not needing to use shaving cream (but you can if you want with this shaver). The dock also takes up more counter space, but it's worth it.

Solid Choice for a Family Computer
on October 13, 2017
Posted by: Daniel
from Eagan, MN
PROS:
- Relatively small form factor
- Ryzen R5
- 1TB of storage
- Keyboard and mouse included
- Runs quiet
- Front access to four USB-A ports (two 3.0 and two 2.0) and SD card reader
- Relatively small form factor

CONS:
- Only two USB-A 3.0 ports
- HDD rather than SSD
- Only two USB-A 3.0 ports
- HDD rather than SSD
This is a great choice for a family computer. The CPU is great and can handle all the tasks we throw at it. I can multiple tabs in Chrome open, stream music, work on a PP presentation, and never see any signs of the PC trying to keep up (and it is still super quiet).
The IdeaCentre 720-18ASU has 8GB of DDR4 memory and the motherboard supports up to 32GB, but it only has two DIMM slots. Honestly, 8GB should be more than enough for a PC used primarily for school/work.
While this computer does have a Radeon R5 340, this PC isn't built with gaming in mind. The card is great for media consumption, but I would keep the games simple (think Minecraft or Hearthstone). It's pretty easy to get into the case to access components, so you could put in a RX 560 or GTX 1050 (just remember to put in a bigger PSU since 240W won't cut it) in the future.
I love the amount of storage on this thing, but the fact that it uses a HDD rather than an SSD might bother some people. You really need to decide which is more important: speed or storage. As I mentioned earlier, it's very easy to get into the case and access all the components, so I may buy an SSD later for Windows and other regularly used programs and just set the HDD for media storage.

The Best ANC Headphones
on September 24, 2017

PROS:

- Long battery life
- Bose provides a nice protective travel case
- "Action" button lets you toggle ANC levels or access Google Assistant (even if you have an iPhone)
- Excellent sound

CONS:
- The plastic build makes the headset light, but I'm worried about their durability
- I wish Bose went with USB-C rather than micro USB for charging
- The plastic build makes the headset light, but I'm worried about their durability
- I wish Bose went with USB-C rather than micro USB for charging
These are my first pair of Bose headphones (I've wanted a pair for a long time), and I can honestly say that they really do live up to the hype of the Bose name. Sound quality is fantastic!
The adaptive noise cancelling also works very well. I love using these in a coffee shop or at the library. There is almost no sound leakage, but with ANC there's very little reason to crank up the volume, so the people sitting next to you won't have to listen to your music as well.
Bose claims you can get up to 20 hours of listening with ANC turned on, and I believe them. With low-medium volume and ANC turned on (most of the time), I get roughly 18-19 hours from a full charge. They also charge pretty quickly as well. Speaking of charging, Bose went with micro USB (they include a cable), but I wish they went with USB-C instead.
There's a special button on the left cup that you can use to either toggle the ANC or activate Google Assistant (you can choose what the button does from the Bose app you download). Using the Google Assistant is really great and works flawlessly, but you need to have Google Assistant open or running in the background of your phone for it to work (and it works just fine with an iPhone). I played with using the assistant for a little while, but I usually just leave the button set to toggle the ANC.
My only complaint is that these are super light and the plastic makes me nervous about the durability. Bose's websiteclaims that the material is "impact-resistant", but I don't want to put them to the test by dropping them.
Overall, I absolutely love these and recommend them to anyone looking for premium noise-cancelling headphones.

I love this mouse, I can't think of a more comfortable mouse to use than the MX ERGO Plus. With the Logitech software to customize your mouse (everything from button mapping to cursor speed), you can make this mouse truly your own.
Pairing is effortless. If you use the included USB dongle, Windows takes care of everything and you're using the mouse right away without worrying about finding drivers. Using a bluetooth connection is just as easy (if you've paired any bluetooth mouse in the past you won't have any problems).

Great alternative to traditional fryers
on August 5, 2017
Posted by: Daniel
from Eagan, MN
I've been thinking about getting a traditional fryer for the occasional wings and fries, and I'm glad I never bought one now that I have this.
I was skeptical at first, but I'm very impressed with the results. I'm not going to lie, food from an air fryer do not taste as good compared to a traditional fryer, but it's better than an oven (and of course it's better for your health compared to a traditional fryer).
Philips says you can bake items like cakes with it, but I haven't tried that yet. Fries, wings, chicken patties/nuggets, and mini corndogs taste great though.
I've seen other reviews mention smoke, but after several uses, I haven't seen any smoke. I clean mine after each use (and cleanup is short and quick and easy since it's non-stick).

Goodbye Plastic Coffee "Pods"!
on July 13, 2017
Posted by: Daniel
from Eagan, MN
I love the versatility of this brewer compared to a traditional coffee maker or a k-cup machine. I can make a single cup of hot coffee, brew enough for multiple cups with the carafe, or even make some iced coffee. What I love the most about the Ninja brewer is simple: no more wasteful plastic k-cups. Ninja includes a reusable filter free of charge, so just empty out the old coffee grounds, rinse it out, and you're good to go.
The machine is extremely easy to use and clean (there's even a dedicated button for the cleaning mode). It's also quite compact compared to other coffee makers, so it doesn't take up too much space on our countertop.
Ninja also includes a nice little double-ended coffee scoop to help you measure the amount of grounds needed from just one cup of coffee to fill the carafe.

My New Favorite Headphones
on July 5, 2017
Posted by: Daniel
from Eagan, MN
PROS:

- Great sound (which you can customize with the app on your phone)
- Long battery life
- Comfortable to wear (even with glasses)
- Folding design
- Nice hard case included
- Noise cancelling (that you can disable/enable with "Ambient Aware")

CONS:
- The earcups are super comfortable, but the headband could have used more padding
- The earcups are super comfortable, but the headband could have used more padding
When you open the box for the 750NC, the first thing you see is the included hard shell carrying/protective case. I was surprised how small the case is, but that's due to how compact the 750NC fold up for travel. Inside the headphone case is another smaller case, which holds the charging cable, 3.5mm audio cable, and flight adapter. I love that JBL went the extra mile to make a nice protective case for the headphones and include them, especially when other manufacturers just include a simple travel pouch that doesn't really protect your headphones from anything other than dust.
I used the 750NC right out of the box without installing the "My JBL Headphones" app (JBL put a little card in the box asking you to install it on your phone when using the headphones). While your music will still sound great, I HIGHLY recommend downloading the companion app. It's great for tracking the battery life on your headphones, but the equalizer is the real reason to install the app on your phone. I'm able to enjoy more genres with the EQ.
Now for the real reason to pick these up over other JBL headphones: the adaptive noise cancelling (ANC). The 750NC are the first pair of headphones I've ever owned with noise cancellation, and I love it so much. I haven't had a chance to test them out on a flight, but they're amazing in a coffee shop when you just want to zone out and enjoy your music or study/work. The 750NC even has a feature called "Ambient Aware" that lets you hear your surroundings, which you can scale to how much noise you want to let in.
BOTTOM LINE:
While I wish the headband was more comfortable, I can't find anything to really complain about. Battery life is fantastic, sound quality is amazing, ANC works great, and they fold up for travel.

- It's not free (there's really nothing to complain about)
I love this mouse, I really can't think of anything I could complain about. It's possibly the best travel mouse on the market.
It's compact and doesn't take up much space in my backpack or messenger bag, but still is quite comfortable to use (even if you have larger hands).
Not having to swap out AA or AAA batteries is a huge perk and one of the biggest reasons why I love this mouse. I hate having to either recycle old batteries or bring along a battery charger for trips. With this mouse, I can just recharge it with any micro-USB cable (I can use the same cable that I use to charge my bluetooth headphones). Logitech rates the mouse for 70 hours of use, which is fine, plus the mouse charges pretty quickly.
Being able to customize and program the mouse with the "Logitech Options" software (which you need to download from Logitech's website) is fantastic. You can program what the buttons do, how sensitive you want the cursor to be, and you can even disable/enable smooth scrolling. The software even lets you know the battery status on the mouse.
BOTTOM LINE:
I can't think of another travel mouse I would recommend over the MX Anywhere 2S.

The phone will be available unlocked (carrier free)? To not depend on Verizon for the Android updates. When?
Verizon Wireless doesn't lock their smartphones anymore:

You can buy the Pixel from Verizon (while I'm sure they would prefer you use them over another carrier) and put in a SIM card from another provider without any problems. Software updates to the Pixel are going to be directly from Google (just like Apple with their iPhones), even if you're on Verizon.

You can buy the Pixel from Verizon (while I'm sure they would prefer you use them over another carrier) and put in a SIM card from another provider without any problems. Software updates to the Pixel are going to be directly from Google (just like Apple with their iPhones), even if you're on Verizon.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?
Yes, the Pixel and Pixel do not have a SIM lock. You can put in a non-Verizon SIM card and the phone will work just fine.
However, the Pixel and Pixel XL phones from Verizon (for whatever reason) are shipped with the BOOTLOADER locked. This means you can't flash a custom ROM on the phone.

Only at Best BuyChoose this HP Spectre 13 notebook for its crisp 1080p display and 13.3-inch screen. It comes with a sixth-generation Intel processor and 8GB of onboard RAM for efficient multitasking, and its solid state drive ensure that programs load quickly. The slim design on this HP Spectre 13 notebook provide enhanced versatility.
Online, the estimated battery life is 9.5 hours. How accurate is this estimate?
I guess it really depends on what you're doing, but I'm getting roughly 6 hours on a full charge.
I'm usually streaming music while doing research, typing up documents, or watching a YouTube video now and then. I also like to leave the keyboard light on and my screen is set to around 70% brightness.
I'm sure I could lower the screen brightness, listen to music on my phone rather than the Spectre, and turn off the keyboard light to get more out of the battery, but I doubt it would be the 9 hours HP claimed.
The laptop is brand new too, so it could be something that could be resolved with a software update down the road.

this laptop does not have many reviews, why? and would you recommend this product if I like Netflix, traveling and take notes at school and some light gaming
The laptop is still very new, so I would guess that's why there are not that many reviews for it yet. Give it a little time and more reviews should start showing up on the site.
As far as recommending the Spectre, I'm a student as well. I LOVE how light this laptop is. The screen may not be 4K, but it's still HD (1080p) and content still looks good. While the speakers are decent, I would still use headphones when watching Netflix. Taking notes is actually pretty good on the Spectre, since the keyboard is surprising great given how thin the laptop is. They keys actually have decent travel distance. If I could complain about the keyboard, it would be that they are a little loud, almost like a mechanical keyboard (I don't think it is mechanical, but I could be wrong).
The Spectre doesn't have a dedicated GPU, it has Intel HD graphics. You could get away with casual games (I like to play Hearthstone on the Spectre), but I don't think you would be able to get away with more graphic-intensive games like Doom.
