For DUMB TVs NOT Smart TVs w/ Bluetooth!
on December 2, 2019
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
Setup is Easy and everything is automatically paired to the base. It has three modes you can use including a bypass mode. This can either transmit or receive bluetooth audio and also bypass the device. There isn't a power source which is a HUGE disappointment. If you don't have a spare USB port on your TV or have a spare phone charger block you are out of luck. Overlooking something like powering a device is inexplicable! The earbud case is about the same size of cases of other bluetooth options on the market. In the charging case, there are magnets that easily align them for charging. They fit well and are lightweight with other ear tips to try . The range is good at just over 90ft in my test. The overall device construction is not that great with everything made of plastic.
Issues I experienced were mainly tied to trying to put these on a smart TV that has bluetooth already. It forced my TV and/or sound bar to BT mode both during initial setup and testing them individually. The ONLY way I was able to get sound was using the 3.5mm AUX port. This audio wasn't that great with all the noise picked up but it was sound nonetheless.
PRO:
-Secure and comfortable fit
-Magnetic charging case
-PRE-PAIRED to base
-Buds are easily connect to other bluetooth sources w/o base unit.
-Secure and comfortable fit

CON:
-NO POWER SOURCE PROVIDED!
-No Volume Control on Buds
-Audio quality just ok. NO BASS
-NO POWER SOURCE PROVIDED!
-No Volume Control on Buds

In short, if you do NOT own a smart TV with bluetooth capability then BUY these. OTHERWISE, don't even waste a trip to the return line.

This guy will show up every day for you

Short and sweet, there isn't anything flashy or exciting about this keyboard. It is like the old car that is still around but doesn't look fancy. This keyboard is however so easy to use and setup. Everything is where it should be and it is a nice board. It follows Logitech design language and the color scheme is familiar in this compact low profile well rounded keyboard. It works with Windows and also Chrome and Android devices I've tested as well. The keystrokes feel eerily similar to those on the PixelBook. It is a tactile mushy scissor key press that you will be used to if you use laptops often. It is built of plastic but does NOT feel cheap. It is engineered to be strong and hold up to daily use. The K580 offers two ways to connect devices and you can be connected to them simultaneously which brings another facet to the multitasking game. Simply by pressing a button you can move between the USB receiver and Bluetooth. There are different ways to make this keyboard work with hot keys on different operating systems. You will have to search a little. The only thing I don't like is the lack of angles for the phone to sit in. The current angle is almost vertical if you have your phone in a case. It is a good idea that needs to be refined but other than that, there are no complaints with this device. In all, this is a buy!

Great Portable Workout. Road Warriors DREAM!
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
The TRX Elite Training system is a wonderful product for someone who is traveling, doesn't have a lot of time or space for workout equipment. Your body is the weight so you can get started fairly easily. The whole thing is made out of strong yet lightweight durable straps that adjust SOOOOO easily. Going between exercised is a breeze in as little as 10 minutes. The flexibility and adaptability for this system is amazing. Just find something that can hold your weight and you can use multiple ways to secure the TRX system via a door anchor or using the extra strap to wrap around a tree or something.
Setup is fast and easy. You find a door and simply put the soft padded door anchor between the top of the door and the jamb, close the door, pull on the straps to see how it will hold up, and if you feel good… get to your workout. There is an awesome little app I recommend paying for unless you have time to find a plethora of videos on YouTube for workout routines. The app has great video instruction with everything neatly organized by duration, activity, most popular, coaches, and your personal workouts you can create. It's like have your personal trainer in your pocket with the option to create personalized TRX training. Workouts are downloaded so you can play them without internet. I feels like you are working out with someone in a class.
Workouts are high impact in a short amount of time, meaning you get results for the short time you put in (your mileage may vary). That is huge for those who don't want to go to the gym or busy people sneaking workouts in at work. This is small enough to fit in a book bag or a luggage so you have no excuse for not getting your workout in. Nothing but good things to say but my only gripe would be the price for the system. You get a strap that costs less than $10 mainly and an app that provides the rest of the value. Overall I recommend this to anyone who likes to get a quick workout in between gym sessions or a road warrior.

Safeguard your online identity with AVG Ultimate security software. It protects your computer from harmful viruses and spyware, and it offers automatic updates, so you'll always be protected from the newest threats. AVG Ultimate security software includes email shield technology and web protection that scans attachments and nearby Wi-Fi hotspots for safety.

This bundle is all you need to protect your computer for the average home user. It covers the most attacked parts of a computer user's digital life. From surfing the web/email to virus/ransomware to privacy/password protection and even a VPN, you are covered with this AIO suite. There are 5 main areas that are protected in this software: Computer, web & email, "hacker attacks", privacy, and payments.
It has real-time protection against virus/ransomware and malicious apps. Web and email are also covered in real-time against downloading viruses and email attachments and links. Hacker attacks handles firewalls and personal file protection. The privacy section addresses webcam and sensitive documents from snooping and hacks. The payments section protects you against spam and fake websites for safer shopping and online experiences.
Aside from the basics here, you are also provided a "PC Cleanup" tool that actually does really well. It scans the registry and other things to help optimize your PC and keep it operating at peek performance. I do get annoyed here that they try to upsell you on something that is "Ultimate" which means the entire suite should be included in my opinion. They want you to buy the "Driver Updater" and "Anti-Track" which is a HUGE annoyance after you go through the long process of clicking through the various scans.
Setup
Setup was fast and easy. You download the installer, enter your serial number or pay for one, and then everything is unlocked and downloaded. After activation, you will have access to the Internet Security Suite and PC Tune-up software. This is pretty quick and everything is up and running fairly quickly.

Performance
My machine is running Windows 10 and has 64GB of DDR3 3200 RAM and an AMD 1700x. The software runs like a dream and isn't really resource intensive at all. It flies through it's tasks and doesn't cause any bottleneck issues that you will find with other software suites in this category. It is using between 283MB and 301MB of RAM running a scan and also the Tune-Up software at the same time. Now that is lightweight for sure! To put that in perspective, Chrome is using upwards of 580MB of RAM.

The UI
The UI is organized and well laid out so that anyone can figure it out. Everything is broken into sections that are pretty clear at least to me. My only gripe is that you have to click next during various scans which is a PAIN if you are trying to do this overnight.

Works like a charm... and things FIT!
on October 21, 2019
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This is definitely an upgrade to the previous air fryer I've had. I must first preface my comments by saying by no means am I a pro in the kitchen or at using this fryer. I am still learning as I go since this is a different cooking experience from anything else I have used. I wish it included a cookbook of some sort like you get with other kitchen appliances.
Overall ease of use and capacity are the biggest selling points for me. The layout of buttons and easy to read display makes this a great addition to a kitchen. It has a modern design that blends into many of today's kitchen. It is a dehydrator, oven, and air fryer but I have only used the air fryer function. It is a healthy alternative to frying and using the included literature you get perfect cook times.
The sheer capacity is the MAIN selling point for me. There is enough space to cook for the family. French fries, chicken tenders, pork chops, and steaks are all things I have tried and successfully cooked. Flavor is sealed into the food while fat and grease exits the food. A healthy play and a time saver appliance for sure!
Overall, for the price and functions afforded, this is a buy!

Here's a LOOKER... Best sub $600 TV.
on October 5, 2019
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
My first thoughts on this piece when I unboxed it were nice thin bezels and tons of inputs. When I turned it on, all I could say is this is a beautiful picture for an LCD panel. Build quality is a bit too plastic-y for my taste but does have a nice "metal" accent on the bottom bezel. There are a few things I look for when buying a TV and for the money, this really hard to beat for what you get. I look for picture quality, smart functionality, overall OS experience and performance, and brightness.
Picture Quality. Out of the box, you get a nice picture but once calibrated it REALLY shines. HDR is beautiful and colors pop. My biggest gripe with this display is are the dark corners. They are very Very VERY noticeable and unfortunately unless you are watching a movie with lots of dark scenes will see it. Eventually your eyes adjust and you think it is just filmed with a vignette. The brightness is EXCELLENT for a TV at this price point. It gets as bright as some of the higher end flagship TVs out there.
Build and Aesthetics. Overall you get a decent build quality here. This is where they saved money to provide such a great display. The cheap plastic build with metal stand are a nice compromise for this price. Just know they didn't skimp on the display… mostly. It looks modern and minimalistic. There is ONLY 1 button on this TV so don't lose your remote. Unless you have a sound bar, you will not be able to do anything like change volume and such. You can use the app, but trust me just don't lose your remote. The screen is has a glossy finish that works REALLY WELL rejecting reflections.
OS and Experience. The OS run smoothly in this TV seems to pack a lot of processing power until you load in apps and sign into platforms. running Android TV 8.0. There are a plethora of apps available on Google Play and you have all the major apps except for Amazon Prime Video. I had to use a third-party app store to get it. I also use a FireStick and a Roku to make this the ULTIMATE bedroom TV. Everything is well laid out and easy to use. Fast and snappy is what you get here.
Gaming and Movies. This TV is AWESOME for gaming and excellent for movies. 4kBluRay really shines here. PS4Pro and xBox1x game beautifully in HDR and low latency is a real benefit for this price.
VERDICT. If you are all about value for the money, this and one other company out there are the only companies producing this quality of display for under $600. Smart functionality and picture quality are the ONLY reasons you will buy it.

Excellent build and performance!

This cord is exceptionally made, built of aluminum and rubber materials that would rival many options in the space. It has a thick cord that is sometimes too stiff but that could change with more use after "break-in". It follows the design language of the major competitors with white and aluminum as their color palette. The anodized aluminum housing gives the cable sophisticated appearance and the construction is not in doubt. In short, you just plug this in to your device (if OS and device supports it), and plug the other side into a display and it works. This should get many looks as it performs on par with other cords I have and use daily just with a cheaper price point. This is a BUY.

Solid Replacement Charger for ANY Device
on October 1, 2019
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This charger seems well made and built almost entirely of plastic. The cord is nothing special and feels like any other cheap USB C cable you can get made in China. It has a thick cord that is sometimes too stiff but that could change with more use after "break-in". I'd like to say this is a nice cord made of rubber and high quality materials, but it just isn't. There isn't any nice touch to make it feel elegant or expensive, it is just white... plastic.
The block offers 2 additional charging ports along with a USB C 47W charging port with a LED that lights to let you know it is receiving power. It doesn't change red or green while charging, it is just a blue light. It plugs into the wall like old Apple charge blocks before they decided to change it to a cord between the outlet and charge block. I am not a fan of the HUGE block hanging from the wall but it gets the job done. It may fall out of some older sockets with the sheer weight of the block itself and the cord. In short, this is a strong competitor and should get a look by everyone interesting in a replacement charger or someone trying to consolidate their accessories in their travel bag.

All business, no frills
on September 3, 2019
Posted by: nkpstudios
from Frederick, MD
This printer is for those who are sick of the ink cartridge slow bleed of nickels and dimes that eventually results in an inoperable printer since you aren't using OEM ink OR you don't have ink on hand. Even if you DON'T print often, ink cartridges are designed to dry out and force you to purchase another set just to gain functionality for some printer manufacturers. It is sickening to see that your basic functions like scanning would be stripped because you ran out of ink. This is a SOLID printer solution that takes a no frills approach. You get cloud functionality, WiFi printing, network printer functionality, and scanning/copying functions all in a well built product.
The ink racket is real and this is finally a way to break out of the endless ink cycle. Ink bottles truly are the way to go in this day and age. Yes, you pay more for the printer up front but that is by design since you will now be free from the "chips" in their cartridges. The sheer amount of pages you can print on the initial ink supply is crazy. It could last me years since I rarely print in color. Here is a quick run down of my experience and favorite features and negative talking points.
The best way to describe this printer experience is simple and no-frills. This printer reminds me of my 2007 printer the Canon MP530 minus the fax machine and ADF. This MegaTank printer to me is the same thing but with ink tanks rather than ink cartridges. It offers easy functions with a few presses of the button. Each ink chamber is individually sealed to eliminate drying out. Easy refilling with ink bottles is my favorite selling point for this printer. It is a true workhorse that is crippled in the scanning department by the lack of ADF. It follows a subtle small business office design language with a subtle matte black plastic construction.
The function and overall ease of use is the second major selling point. All major printer functions can be done with no more than 2 button presses. The down side here is the lack of a backlit screen and it is so small you need to squint to see it just right in bright lighting conditions. The instructions take forever to scroll across this little screen and at times can be frustrating with only two screen position angles.
This printer is very loud until you enable the quiet function which then slowed page printer performance. You can hear the print head scratching the paper which can be annoying to some. It has a rather large footprint on my desk but I expected that being a workhorse AIO printer. Setup took like 30 mins for basic installation going from unboxing and test print page. It comes with 2 spare PGBK20 ink bottles in addition to a full printer of color and black. As I said earlier, there is no ADF so only a flatbed scanner option. There will be TIME WASTED flipping pages for something this large it should have ADF on top. Paper tray window is a plus so you can see if you need paper without pulling the tray to fill it to its 350-sheet capacity.

Good Bang For Your Buck!

from Frederick, MD
It's pretty simple… it's a USB 3.0 hard drive that is simple to use, very portable, speeds are respectable, and NOT an SSD. During my testing speeds were consistent running anywhere from 110-120 MB/s for read/write speeds. Not an SSD but still a decent drive for storage. Build quality is basically a thin plastic shell over a 2.5" SATA drive. It is flimsy plastic that flexes a lot so don't drop it. In the package you will get a USB 3.0 cord and drive. Everything is pretty much plug and play. Works seamlessly between PC to Chromebooks. For the price, you get a great value here for 1 TB and decent performance.

It will work with both. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports. I believe the only difference will be the drive performance. Read/Write speeds may be effected since there is a difference between USB 2.0/3.0 bus speeds..

What type of features does the app have? Can you control devices in the way that EERO and Luma are marketing? I've had Netgear routers for years. But need a mesh system . Currently, the UI for these routers are very limited.
The app needs a refresh but it is the Netgear Genie app. You can do a search online for the interface.

I can't speak on EERO or LUMA as I have never used them. If you are a R8000 user then you know the interface is fairly simple and nothing flashy. You will be used to the interface. The Orbi logo replaces the Netgear Genie Logo. The mobile app is Netgear Genie so you probably know how to use that as well. I would say Netgear needs to do an app refresh, but it is functional. I have used almost all of the Nighthawk line and I can honestly say the Orbi system is the BEST Netgear product offering coverage/performance utilizing a mesh network. If you need better coverage then get an Orbi system as it will provide double the coverage and seamless WiFi roaming without sacrificing performance. These are the 2 major reasons to upgrade over your R8000. Performance is similar for both.

Want to know if watch same as phone text or voice ??
I am unsure of your question because of the wording, but I will try to answer what I think you mean. If you are asking can you type a text on the Watch like on a phone, currently the answer is no. When watchOS3 is released it will do that but currently you can only select preloaded text responses or use voice to text. One good thing is the watch is smart enough to offer responses to questions as preloaded texts as well. For example if someone texts you:
What time do you want to meet? 3pm or 4pm?
The watch will have those two times as replies in addition to the preloaded/saved texts from your iPhone.
I hope this helps. With the WatchOS3 release looming it will be a great watch. Right now, it is a bit slow and clunky and you can tell it is Apple's first attempt at a smart watch.
