Great sound, clear voice, and decent bass
on May 29, 2017
Posted by: optimummind
This Polk Magnifi Mini soundbar system is fantastic!! I have it paired with my 55" 4K Samsung TV (model: UN55KU6270FXZA) and it has greatly improved my TV-watching experience. As is typical with most TV's, my TV's audio was merely adequate and not really good. I especially had a hard time listening to voice dialogues. The Magnifi Mini takes care of that issue by clearly and loudly projecting people's voices right toward you in a very understandable manner. With its own remote control button setting for voice clarity & loudness adjustment, I really appreciate the flexibility that Polk provides.
The TV's default volume levels were never an issue with me but the Magnifi Mini improves and extends the volume range as well. If you crank it up, the sound can get very, very loud to the point that you get uncomfortable.
The bass that emits from the wireless subwoofer is a very nice addition to the media experience. Just as it is important to have a nice subwoofer in your car for maximum music enjoyment, having a subwoofer for your TV system adds further enjoyment and it immerses you into the movie's world further.
In addition, I really appreciate how compact the Polk Magnifi Mini system is. My TV stand isn't very deep with a depth of about 15". Yet, I was able to securely position the Magnifi Mini speaker in front of the TV. The subwoofer is pretty slim as well, allowing me to fit it between two bookcases.
All in all, this is a fantastic investment for anyone who wants higher-quality sound, fidelity, and experience from their TV media consumption. I highly recommend it.

Great router
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: optimummind
This router is a beast! I say that not only because of its HUGE size but also because of its excellent coverage and performance. For a router that isn't mesh-based (like Google Wifi or Linksys Velop), the coverage it offers is pretty good and so are the speeds.
I like to test my network speeds outside on my front porch where I spend a lot of my internet time and the Linksys EA9300 didn't disappoint (the router is inside my bedroom, about 30 feet away from the front porch, past 3 walls).
At the same location, the Linksys EA9300 (non-mesh) got 54.94 Mbps down versus Google Wifi's (mesh with 3 access points) 70.47 Mbps. The EA9300 achieved 7.41 Mbps upload and Google Wifi 7.01 Mbps. Both routers allowed me to achieve download speeds higher than what I purchase from Spectrum (50 Mbps down package).
So Google Wifi, through its multiple access points, offers higher speed at the front porch on a speedtest. But why do I prefer the Linksys EA9300? It is more stable. The Google Wifi mesh system, during access point handoffs, will sometimes bring my internet speed to a crawl as I move around the house with my smartphone (Galaxy S7 Edge). It is supposed to seamless and fast but that just hasn't been the case for me. Sometimes, my phone loses Wifi and switches over to LTE which just shouldn't happen. So despite Google's promise of easy handover and switching, I've been frustrated many times because my webpages and videos are being interrupted.
Another win for EA9300 over Google Wifi is the support for external storage. The back of the router has two USB 3 ports where you can plug in your own storage solutions for personal cloud backup. Google Wifi doesn't support external storage. Also, the Linksys smartphone app has more power-user options than the relatively bare options Google offers.
Luckily, my house isn't too big so a single router like the Linksys EA9300 works out just fine and suits my family's needs. With 15 devices connected, the EA9300 handles everyone's streams like a champ without breaking a sweat. And it is stable and predictable, which are very important for me.
With that said, I highly recommend this router. Another great product from Linksys!

Works well & it's easy-to-use
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: optimummind
This Bissell steam carpet cleaner arrived at the perfect time! Our carpet was overdue for some cleaning due to our two dogs, one cat, and one hyper 2-yr-old toddler running around constantly depositing dirt, grime, coconut oil, milk, snacks, juice, chocolate, and other stuff all around the house.
The setup was super simple. Pop in the handle, screw in the carry handle, pop in the two containers (one that houses the hot water & cleaning solution and the other that houses the dirty water), and start cleaning.
The solutions that come inside the box isn't enough to clean even a small bedroom. Luckily, I already had some cleaning chemicals so I did our entire 2-bedroom house including the living room.
Compared to my older Hoover SteamVac unit (see picture), the Bissell ProHeat 2X was much easier to use. It is a little bit lighter, easier to maneuver under tables and desks, and easier to carry around due to the convenient location of the carry handle. The dirty and clean water containers are also much easier to pop-out and pop back in. With the Hoover unit, I had to unlatch two arms, tilt the machine backwards without having it tip over and dropping to the floor, and pop it out. With this Bissell unit, I just press down on the purple latch and slide it out. So easy!!
As for the cleaning power and ability, it is pretty good. It surprisingly cleaned up all of the coconut oil that was spilled by my toddler on the living room carpet. In one of the bedrooms, the Bissell was able to take out some grime that the Hoover unit couldn't. Both machines were using the same set of cleaning chemicals and boosters.
I didn't get a chance to use all the extra accessories but they look very easy to use (pop-in and pop-out) and maintain.
I'm very satisfied with the Bissell ProHeat 2x's cleaning power, ease of use, and performance. I highly recommend it.

Best headphones I've ever used
on April 18, 2017
Posted by: optimummind
This Razer Kracken 7.1 Chroma V2 headset is fantastic~!!
First thing I noticed right away when wearing this was just how soft and comfortable it is. With the adjustable head band, I was quickly able to find the perfect fitment for my head. And unlike past headsets I've tried, the ear muffs are very well padded, soft, and comfortable. My ears don't get sweaty, my head doesn't hurt later because of any tiresome pressure applied to my head, and it's lighter than it looks. I can game for 3-4 hours and there is no fatigue or discomfort associated with wearing this.
As for the sound quality, it really is awesome. After installing the Synapse software and tuning the audio profile, my gaming sound experience has improved so much. The game I've tested extensively with was The Witcher 3 and the game world really comes alive. The sound of the wind and bristling of the wild life and foliage, the nuances of spoken characters' voices, the monster sound effects, and the bass! The bass is pretty darn good.
This headset is so good, I prefer playing my games with the Razer headset rather than playing the audio through my 5.1 speaker setup which I've been using for years.
Prior to using this headset, I never appreciated these "gaming headset" types. Now I know why some people will pay extra for this kind of high quality gaming headsets.
All in all, this is highly recommended.

Made a difference
on April 8, 2017
Posted by: optimummind
I live in an area where Sprint's data and voice signal quality is categorized as "fair," according to the manual of this product. Although this weBoost unit didn't blow my mind away with its improvements, it did bring about a decent boost to signal reception and data speeds in a couple known problem areas.
I get the best signal outside the house at my front porch, where the signal strength is -105 dBm with Speedtest speeds of ~15.5 Mbps DL and ~2 Mbps UL. This is on LTE Band 25 (1900). My Galaxy S7 Edge doesn't pick up Sprint's faster Band 41 (2500) from my house. Besides, this weBoost unit doesn't support signal boost coverage for Band 41 anyways.
I experience the worst signal quality inside my bathroom with a reading of -118 dBm. Second worst area is my bedroom with a reading of -114 dBm. Inside my bedroom, my average DL speed is ~13 Mbps and ~1.5 Mbps UL.
After installing the weBoost unit, the signal reading from inside my bathroom improved from -118 dBm to -109 dBm~! For my bedroom, it improved from -114 dBm to -110 dBm. My Speedtest speeds inside my bedroom still aren't as fast as my front porch area but the speeds have improved to ~14 Mbps DL and ~2 Mbps UL.
These aren't super fantastic gains but gains nonetheless.
As for voice calls, the number of bars being reported inside my bedroom went up from 1 bar to 2 bars. Not bad.
I think the weBoost is a neat little device that does really work but it would be more compelling if the price was lower.
With that said, I recommend it for those who experience inconsistent voice & data receptions.

Excellent range mesh system with decent speeds
on January 14, 2017
Posted by: optimummind
The Linksys Velop is a great Wifi mesh network system that people with big and/or multi-story homes should definitely purchase.
It has a cool, modern design, the nodes blend in well with the environment, the setup process is very easy to perform via the Linksys smartphone app, the Wifi coverage area is EXCELLENT, and the speeds are pretty good.
The Linksys Velop is my second experience with a Wifi mesh-type network system (first was the Google Wifi) and my experience with the Velop has been positive. The initial setup procedure was completed with the Linksys smartphone app and it was easy and simple. The time it took to setup each node, though, wasn't fast. It took maybe 15 to 20 minutes total.
As for the range, there are no complaints. Every single corner of my home plus outside of my house are washed in great Wifi signal quality and reliability.
If there was one disappointment, it was the top download speed. I purchase 50 Mbps broadband and doing a Speedtest on my front porch, the max download I'm able to get is ~33 Mbps. With Google Wifi at the same location, I was pulling down above my 50 Mbps limit and getting 69 Mbps.
Despite not achieving the same top DL speed as Google Wifi, I prefer the Velop because the connection speeds are more consistent and even. When my devices used to be connected to Google Wifi, my Youtube resolution would often drop down to 480p and even into 240p despite my device located within 3 feet of a node. When I changed the resolution to anything higher, it would simply drop back down to 240p or 480p. That was UNACCEPTABLE. With the Velop, I'm not experiencing such degradation issues.
Overall, I'm highly satisfied and happy with the Velop and give my full recommendation.

Easy to use and cleans teeth well

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first time ever using an electric toothbrush and I must say, it's neat and easy to use. Connect the toothbrush bristle, run some water over it, place some toothpaste over it, put the bristle inside your mouth, and start brushing. Simple.
With that said, however, there are a few things one has to remember to do before you start brushing. First, determine what setting you want to use before you put toothpaste onto the brush. Because once there is toothpaste on the brush and the brush is not in your mouth and it's vibrating, the toothpaste is gonna fly everywhere. So know what setting you want to use first.
Another thing you gotta remember to do is to charge the toothbrush once in a while. Luckily, charging the toothbrush is simple and easy since it gets charged wirelessly. It is just a simple act of placing the toothbrush inside the charging cup.
Using an electric toothbrush didn't BLOW my mind or change my world but it is convenient and I do feel that it does a better job than manual brushing when it comes to cleaning my teeth.
I recommend it.

I got the Chromecast Ultra shortly after upgrading our living room TV to a 4K TV and it's been great. Just like the previous generation Chromecast I've been using for 3 years, the new Ultra is just as reliable and easy-to-use. It's noticeably faster than the older model which is appreciated.
Highly recommended.

Great TV and a Great Value

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this TV during the Black Friday holiday period and I'm very happy and satisfied with its quality, its ease of use, its design, and its price.
This 55" 4K TV is replacing my previous Samsung 46" 1080p HDTV and it's a good upgrade. Bright screen, sharp and crisp images, good sound, a sleek and easy-to-use remote, and a more streamlined menu system.
Paired up with a Google Chromecast Ultra, it's been a joy enjoying content from providers such as Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu.
This TV not having Bluetooth and ports for older DVD players is not an issue for our household since we stream most of our content.
Overall, I recommend this TV as a good buy.

A simple but great router with awesome coverage
on December 20, 2016
Posted by: optimummind
This is my first encounter with a Wifi-Mesh type router and it has been a great experience. The best thing about this router is its awesome Wifi coverage area, followed by its elegant and pleasing exterior design, all executed in a very simple and easy-to-use software setup.
Never before in and outside of my home did I experience such great and consistent Wifi coverage and speed. With one router inside my bedroom next to the cable modem, one router placed inside another bedroom, and the third router placed inside the living room close to the kitchen, my whole home is blanketed in strong, even, consistent, and fast Wifi. With my previous router, the Asus RT-AC86U, my Wifi speed would slow down when I'm outside sitting on my front porch. The 5GHz frequency was barely usable there so I would switch to the 2.4GHz band to do anything meaningful. With the Google Wifi mesh setup, there is no place where I don't get fast and reliable coverage. Just wow.
Even the packaging was a delight - the clean, white rectangular box and the three round & well-crafted routers you see once you flip open the package. They are eye-pleasing and for a household like mine where pretty much almost all of the furniture are white, these routers blend in very well.
Another aspect of the router experience that is worth mentioning is how simple it was to set up the router using the Google Wifi app. It guides you through each of the steps and they are very easy to follow along and execute.
Upon opening the app, the user is greeted with a visual diagram that succinctly & clearly displays the number of your Wifi points and the number of devices that are connected to the network. Tapping the "Wifi points" option takes you to a screen that tells you where each of your Wifi points are located in the house. From this screen, you can tap on the Settings icon where you can perform the following tasks: check for new firmware updates & update firmware, restart the network, perform a factory reset, and control the brightness of each Wifi access point.
Tapping on the "Devices" option takes you to a screen that shows you the names and number of devices connected to the network. When you tap a device in this screen, you're given the option to change the name of each device and also to view its current real-time network activity.
Other nifty & useful features include Guest Wifi and Family W-Fi Pause. With the Family Wi-Fi Pause, one can pause Internet service to certain devices.
If there is one thing I miss from my old router that I wish these Google Wifi routers supported is the option to connect my external USB hard drive to the router to setup my own network drive that I can access from anywhere with an app. Frankly, I never really used this option very much so its absence here is not critical for me and not a deciding factor against Google Wifi.
With that said, I'm very, very pleased with this router & I highly recommend it to anyone.

Play your favorite PC games with this 15.6-inch Lenovo laptop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM let you run multiple programs without performance lag, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of file storage space. This Lenovo laptop has a powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics card for fast rendering of images and videos.
 

Will there be any problems generating a copy of the 1TB Hard Drive and replacing it with an SSD? Any issues regarding drivers or product keys/licenses?

There should be no problem. I wiped/formatted the factory C drive and reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 10 version 1803 with my USB flash drive and my license remained intact.

To copy the content of the 1TB HDD to a SSD drive, you can use a disk cloning program. Just make sure the SSD hard drive is large enough to accept the 1TB disk image transfer.

What I did was to repartition/resize the 1TB HDD into two partitions - 200GB for the Windows C drive and the rest for my apps and media. When I install a SSD drive later, I would clone my 200GB C drive to the SSD drive.

I have a few queries. 1. I would like to know the exact clock speed in this laptop? 2.When is the model with 144hz fps display going on sale? 3. how vital or how important is the hard drive accelerator (intel optane)? in what way does it benefit?

The Intel Optane Accelerator, by caching your frequently accessed files and programs, will noticeably improve system responsiveness and speed. It definitely is NOT a gimmick and it is a nice thing to have.

How is the fan noise on this laptop? I will be using this in classrooms so it will need to be quiet.

As long as you don't fire up a game or some other demanding app, it won't kick in. With Chrome (~15 tabs open), YouTube playing, and Word open, my fans don't kick in & it's super quiet.

I want to buy this but I'm concerned about smudging. How easily do the metal accents attract fingerprints?

Barely. I've owned mine since Nov & I think I noticed a smudge only once. It's easy to wipe away. It is NOT like a glossy glass back of a smartphone. HP did a good job with the design.

Blast through the newest video games with this HP Omen desktop computer. Its 8GB of DDR4 RAM and AMD Ryzen 5 processor let programs operate quickly and provide smooth transitions between applications. This HP Omen desktop computer includes a 1TB hard drive for ample storage and an AMD Radeon graphics card for crisp images.
 

Which model of the AMD Ryzen 5 Series comes with this computer? This info should be included in the specs. Still playing marketing games. How much did Intel pay you to purposely do this? Shame on you.

It comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 quad-core CPU with 8 threads.

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
 

The earmuffs can help to reduce more noises than ANC maybe can't do (high frequencies)? How is the passive noise reduction compared with QC35?

I own both the Sony 1000XM2 and the Bose QC 35 II and I find the Bose QC 35 II to offer a little bit better Passive Noise Cancellation. But I think the Sony has better ANC.
