Amazing graphics! My son spends 8-10 hrs a day gaming. This laptop is perfect for every game. The colors are vibrant and there is absolutely no screen lag. The processor is lightning fast with no delays in switching from one activity to another. Great for streaming gameplay and filming walk through videos. My son has an Alienware desktop but now prefers this laptop, not just for it’s portability but because he truly experiences better gameplay. The sound quality is also pretty awesome! My son watches tutorial videos and doesn’t need to use headphones anymore to get good sound. The battery life is better than expected, with constant gameplay/streaming he’s consistently getting 5-6 hours. It only takes about 45 minutes to charge back up. I would highly recommend this laptop for the true gamer who wants a longer lasting battery, great sound quality and an amazing visual experience.

Out of the box I liked the design of this speaker. I like the cord to hang it; I hung it up on a beam in my gazebo in my backyard. The pairing process was super simple and quick with my iPhone. It only took about an hour to fully charge from the box. I put on a 4 hour playlist and has no issues with the battery dying. I left the speaker outside by mistake and it rained that evening. The next morning I went out and tested it to see if it still worked and there were no issues. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review is because I was not at all convinced that this speaker has “extra bass” capability. I compared it to a Bose Bluetooth speaker that I already own and the comparison was not even close. I like the fact that it’s durable and waterproof for outdoor use so I will keep it as my speaker for my gazebo.

I am very happy with the video calling capability of this Facebook portal. I got one and sent the other to my sister out of state. My sister is not tech savvy at all but my 13 year old niece was able to set this up with no problem. Now we are able to video call multiple times a week. We both set ours up on the entertainment centers in our living rooms, near our TVs, and I love that the camera follows us as we move around the room and adjusts focus to accommodate when others walk in or out. Sometimes we are on calls for hours, not realizing that the time has passed - even if we're not talking, it's like we're in the same room together. The built in Alexa is an added bonus because I find it so convenient that I can use it to control my music, especially while I'm cleaning or cooking dinner in the adjacent kitchen. My kids love that they can use YouTube to play their favorite videos. I will be purchasing 2 more of these for my grandmas so that they can keep in touch with my sister as well - I have no doubt that they will have no problems using them.

I was in desperate need of a new laptop for work. I debated between this HP and another big name brand, ultimately deciding on the HP and I am so glad I did! It is so fast and responsive. Switching between browser tabs, apps and even from tablet mode and back is so quick. The responsiveness of the touch screen in tablet mode is unbeatable. I create a lot of spreadsheets for work and this laptop has no problems keeping up with my data entry, constantly typing, deleting or copying/pasting without ever missing a beat. The sound quality blew me away for such a small machine and I can enjoy listening to music in the background while I work without the tinny sound you normally get from laptop speakers. The graphics are gorgeous and the colors are so vibrant; watching webinars and streaming TV isn’t so bad on this small screen. I love the tablet mode for reading ebooks and articles. The versatility of this computer to be able to work and play simultaneously without either function suffering is ingenious. I am still enjoying exploring all of the features. It's a well built machine.

This microwave is small but powerful! My favorite feature is the potato setting. I have a 10 year old that would eat baked potatoes for every meal if I let him - this microwave makes that possible. All he has to do is wash the potato and put it in on the potato setting and it comes out perfect. Defrosting meat was also super easy and I was impressed that the meat didn’t come out partially cooked around the edges. Melting a few tablespoons of butter only took about 35 seconds. The soft close door threw me off at first, thinking that the door didn’t close completely, but it didn’t take long to get used to and is actually really nice for it to close quietly. That’s a feature I never knew I wanted. The small design of this microwave also makes it convenient to keep on the counter. Highly recommend!

First things first - this printer was easy to set up out of the box and we had it online, ready to print within about 10 minutes of opening the box. Then we had to add in the ink - the only thing I wasn't a big fan of. You have to be very careful adding in the liquid as it can spill and make a big mess before you know it. However, the large wells have yet to run out of ink and we've printed several hundred copies of flyers for different events that we've hosted. I really love the fact that I can click print from my computer and the papers come out in just a few seconds - no delay in waiting for my computer to connect with the printer, no delay between copies, no paper jams, just super quick copies in seconds. I was very happy that the colors are bright and vibrant with every single copy.

Get total crushing power for all your favorite smoothies and frozen drinks in a pitcher for large batches and in single serve blending cups for on-the-go convenience. Plus, this Ninja has Vacuum-iQ and an Advanced Filtration System to remove air for light and refreshing, but never foamy, juice like a juicer.

This blender has so much power! It has a bit of a struggle with frozen ingredients but I found that adding liquid a little at a time helps assist. I've used it to make smoothies, frozen blended drinks and juice. By far one of the best features is the filter that keeps out the pulp, if desired. While I love orange juice with lots of pulp, we made carrot juice and of course didn't want any chunks - I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice, smooth texture. The vacuum seal that claims to keep drinks fresh for up to 48 hours works! I was so happy to find that I could make a double batch of smoothies for my son and that he could drink the second glass the next day without the ingredients separating. Overall I am highly impressed and would definitely recommend.

This speaker packs quite a punch. It was super easy to connect to my phone to play a playlist and the radio comes in clear also. It only took about 45 minutes to fully charge out of the box and after consistent use for an hour and a half there was still half the battery life left. The sound comes out clear and sharp. However, there is a bass boost button that, when pressed, causes the speaker to sound like it is going to blow and the sound quality goes way down. Also, although it is advertised that you can sing karaoke you can’t use the microphone while the music is playing which was super disappointing. Overall the sound is great if you don’t need to play it at full volume but the bass boost causing the sound to warp was definitely a deal breaker for me.

My son runs track. This watch has been so helpful for him to track his distance and pace during training. I love that he can get notifications even during his workouts. He uses the app to set goals and has seen improvement since he's been able to challenge himself. He customized it so that it's tailored to track his workouts, calories burned and even his sleep patterns. It's very user friendly and not difficult to figure out how to use the various features.

Arlo Pro 2 keeps an eye on your home while you're away, in brilliant 1080p HD quality. Put the 100% wire-free, weather-resistant camera anywhere, indoors or out. Then, power it with the included rechargeable battery or plugged it in (when indoors) to access activity zones and 24/7 Continuous Video Recording upgrades.

You'll even get motion and sound-activated alerts and 7 days of free cloud video recordings. Arlo Pro 2 works with Amazon Alexa to make your smart home security even more simple and effective.

I was so excited to receive this security system in the mail. I took it home to set it up and initially had to charge the batteries for both cameras. They took about a half hour each. I also downloaded the Arlo app. I had to hard wire the receiver to my router and set up the internet connection which only took about a minute. Each camera had to be synced to the receiver - the first camera synced right away but the second one took almost a half hour. Since I did them both the sane way I'm not sure why the second had such issues but eventually it synced. I set up the cameras to cover the front and back doors into my house and turned on the live feed. I was immediately impressed by the field of vision as almost my entire living room was visible from one camera or the other. The app lets me watch the live feed from my cameras from anywhere. You can customize the sensitivity of the cameras so that they detect motion and sound and the app will alert you when something is happening - I get a notification each afternoon that motion is detected when my kids get home from school and I can look in on them to make sure they get in safely. The cameras have built in speakers and microphones so I can also communicate with them if I'm watching in the app. I set up a schedule to have the cameras armed from the time we leave the house to the time that my kids arrive home and any motion or sound that is detected in that time will send me a notification and will also automatically record and save to my library. The alert that can be sounded from within the app is an awful sound! I would imagine it's enough to scare off anyone that managed to make it inside.
The mounting option that came with the cameras is really neat for indoors but I definitely wouldn't put these cameras outside. The mounts are put into the wall and have very high strength magnets that the cameras stick to. The magnets are rounded so the camera angles are plentiful but if you were to use them outside the cameras could simply be removed from the magnets. I was a little bummed that I couldn't test the cameras outdoors but I will definitely settle for the interior coverage.
