A Capable Complete set dash cam
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
I am a dash cam owner and this is the first time I hear about Thinkware. So far it lives up to its potential but with a few minor drawbacks. This Q200 dash cam is well constructed and has a discrete slim design for the front and back cameras. It comes with a camera lens with 125 degrees field of view that can record at 1440P at 30FPS. The rear camera records at 1080P. It has built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SD Card reader, parking surveillance mode, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), built-in speaker, external GPS, and night vision recording. The main camera is very slim which makes it easy to conceal behind the rearview mirror.
Installation is pretty straightforward if you decide to use the 12V cigarette lighter adapter that is included. However, if you choose the hardwiring or the OBD2 route it will require professional installation unless you know how to do it. The OBD 2 is simple, the hard part is hiding the wires. The main difference between the 12V adapter and hardwiring is that you will get continuous recording when the car is off, with hardwired or OBD2. The OBD2 wiring has to be purchased separate. The rear camera just take1 simple cable connection and the cable is very long. Both cameras are glued to the glass with 3M tape that is attached to the base. I would have preferred suction cups which are easier to remove if you need to relocate the cam.
To access the camera you are required to download the Thinkware app. The pairing process is very simple. Once paired you can access the camera menus and view/download recordings or live feeds. Included with the cam is a 32GGB micro SD card if you prefer to view the videos on your computer. You will be required to install another thinkware software and external plugin on your computer to view the recordings. The Thinkware software file is inside the SD card and you will be prompted with an external link for the video plugin. That software is also easy to use as well.
The Camera does a good job with the recording front and back. However, despite its 1440P QHD and 1080P for the back the videos show a little granny. The built-in speaker that works in conjunction with ADAS and prompts some information about the cam, it is not very loud. I honestly would have preferred a small LCD screen instead of the speaker. The reason for that is, if you need to view the live recording you will have to use your phone which will make you take your eyes off the road. If you have a small LCD screen all you need to do is take a quick peek, that is my opinion. Another thing that I found to be annoying is the amount of cables that are to be connected to have full functionality. The camera will have a power cable, rear cam cable and the GPS cable. Also the GPS has to be glued to the windshield as well unless you find a place to hide it.
Overall the camera does what it is supposed to do and does it well despite the few drawbacks that I mentioned. You will get a full camera set for the price point and plenty of installation options. You get front and rear cameras, 12V adapter, hardwiring kit, 32GB micro SD card, external GPS antenna, spare mounting tape, rear camera cable, trim tool and manual.

Good budget robot vac
on April 13, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
The i-Robot Roomba essential is a budget friendly well designed smart robot vacuum. It is slim and will go under cabinets with no problem. It comes with a small changing base that can be placed almost anywhere without disrupting your home decor. This vacuum comes with 1 spinning brush large enough to get around baseboard edges. It is very simple to setup by downloading the I-Robot app and following the instructions.
The app is easy to use. It has pretty much one cleaning function to press to get the vacuum started. You can set up schedule cleaning, custom area cleaning and view the history. I found it weird that there's no map layer in the app. However, you can see a map layer in the history. I'm not sure if that is because this vacuum is a budget one or the app needs an update. I also find it weird that you can create custom cleaning but you don't have an option to select which area you want the robot to clean. Even if you change the custom area name the robot will clean the entire house. I don't see the point of having a custom cleaning setting when the only cleaning option is the entire house. Hopefully that gets fixed with an update.
The vacuum robot does a good job cleaning. The brushes are large enough to get around the edges of the baseboards and corners. I really like that. The only downside is it only has one brush. It does a really good job on the carpet. The battery life is also pretty good. It cleans my entire house in a single run without a recharge. My other robots usually go back to recharge before cleaning my entire house. The charging is very small which make it discreet compare to larger self cleaning vacuums. That being said the base is just a charging base the vacuum has to be cleaned manually which is very simple. It also has sensors that will prevent it from rolling down stairs. .
Overall this is a smart robot vacuum that would do the job well and will not break the bank. It can be controlled with the app or with a voice assistant. It does a good job cleaning with good suction power and does great job cleaning around edges. It's slim design makes it easy to go under cabinets and sofas. In the box you get the robot vacuum, the charging base, power adapter, cleaning brush, spare filter and manuals.

The tiny beauty laptop
on April 2, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
The Dell XPS 13 is a beautiful and capable tiny laptop with a few trade off. It is nicely built and smooth to the touch and it’s gorgeous. The laptop is very small and light, so small it’s almost the width of a cell phone. The screen is 13 inches, extremely bright and it almost touches the edges making it look bezel-less. It is not a touch screen but it does have a couple of haptic shortcuts buttons on the upper edge of the keyboard. Those buttons are very responsive and they are backlit. The mouse pad is super smooth and responsive and I love how it blends with the restpad. In other words there is no separation between the mouse and the restpad, it is just one continuous look. The keyboard of course is tight due to the size. It feels like typing on a tablet with a keyboard attached. The keys are soft and quiet, and do not attract fingerprints and they also backlit. The keyboard also has a dedicated button for Windows Co-Pilot AI. The power button which will be hard to find the first time, unless you pay attention to the plastic cover that will be on it when you unbox the device. That power button will be next to the backspace and for unknown reason it is not labeled. That button is also a fingerprint scanner. This laptop comes with Intel Core Ultra 155H processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB SSD and Intel ARC graphics. It has Bluetooth and only two Thunderbolt ports.
Setting it up is very simple, especially if you already have a Microsoft email. It is a laptop so pretty much you can throw anything at it. In my experience this laptop is great for traveling, work and entertainment. It is extremely light and is like carrying a tablet. It only weighs 2.6 lbs. Battery life according to the manufacturer you'll get approximately 18 hours. After the initial full charge I did some moderate usage including live streaming and the battery after 3 days it was still over 50%. For this being such a tiny device the speakers are surprisingly loud. If you are looking for a laptop to play video games, I will say go elsewhere. This specific model will be able to handle mobile games as much. I tried some COD online gaming and not even at the lowest setting I was getting graphics artifacts. In other words, high demand graphics games will not play well here. The screen is super bright, vivid and the color reproductions it’s just beautiful. On the front of the display it has a 1080p 30fps front facing camera and IR camera. The front facing camera actually takes good pictures. It also works great for unlocking the device using facial unlock. With the help of the IR camera it is definitely a breeze to unlock the laptop in dark places. The integrated fingerprint reader works almost instantaneously.
The only trade-offs that I found on this laptop was the lack of ports. It only has 2 thunderbolts and when it’s plugged to the power it leaves you with 1. That being said, if the primary use of this device will be for work, you will need a multi ports hub. Another thing that caught my attention was how the outer chassis was a fingerprint magnet. It was totally the opposite from the inside. Literally wherever you place your finger upper or under your fingers will leave a mark.

Overall this tiny and lightweight laptop is a great device for traveling, some work and definitely entertainment. It is beautiful and nicely designed to include a glass panel for the haptic buttons. The screen is bright and vivid, and it comes with a great set of loud speakers. Despite having only two ports they can easily be extended with a port hub (not included). It is super quiet, responsive and it runs cool. In the box you get the laptop, power brick and some manuals.

Tiny but powerful
on March 28, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
The Jabra Elite 5 is tiny but yet with powerful sound earbuds. These Jabra earbuds are very well made. They are small, light with great sound reproduction. They last up to 7 hrs with the noise canceling on and 28 hrs with the carrying case. The carrying case is small and slim making it easy to fit in any pocket. The case also holds 21 hours of battery charge. The case can be charged with the included USB-C cable or via wireless charging. Each earbud features a tactile button, one for activating ANC and the other for playback and phone call controls
Setting them is pretty straightforward. On my pixel phone when you open the case you will be promoted if you want to pair them. The other option is to pair them using the Bluetooth setting or downloading the Jabra Sound+ app. While delivering excellent sound quality and ANC support, there's room for improvement in noise cancellation. The option to hear outside noise (hear through) is beneficial for outdoor activities. For the most part they are not that bulky and they are comfortable in the ear. The bulky part where the button is located, but they don't protrude as much. The included rubber seal does a good job, I had to switch it to the small size to be more comfortable.
The sound quality is great with good bass. You can connect the voice assistant to work directly with the earbuds. I went out on a run with them and I did notice even with the ANC on the wind drag noise was really bad. By turning off the ANC and the ambient sound it reduces the wind drag noise drastically. The phone calls were very clear and the mic was able to pick up my voice with no problem. The Jabra Sound+ app is simple to use and allows you to adjust various settings of the earbuds. You can turn on/off the ANC and ambient sound. There's an equalizer option which works pretty well. Within the app you can see the current battery percentage of the buds and the case.
Overall this is a very well made earbud with great sound quality. They will last about a full 24 hrs day with the use of the carrying case. They are tiny and comfortable. The slim carrying case makes them a breeze to travel with. In the box you get the earbuds, carrying case, USB-C cable, ear tips, and manuals.

A true sport watch
on March 25, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
This is the first time I heard about the Coros smartwatch and is the first time I tried it. To my impression it is actually very good watch and capable. This watch is targeted for the sport type audience. It has an aggressive sport design which is what it meant to be. The built quality is good and is kind of rugged so it can withstand some heavy usage. It is very light and extremely comfortable even to sleep with it. It has an always-on LCD screen and the bezel is 42mm. Internal components it carries bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, heart rate sensor,barometric altimeter, gyroscope, 3D compass, thermometer, and optical pulse oximeter. Battery life is rated at 17 days with daily sleep tracking. Since I took it out of the box with 88% battery life, after around 5 days the battery was still over 50%, which is pretty good for a smartwatch this caliber.
Setting it up is pretty simple download the Coros app and pair the watch. The watch has two bottoms one is rotary and the second is a push button that also works as the back botton. They are very responsive. The screen is bright however is you have dark backgrounds it looks slightly dim. However, when you're out in the sun wow that screen pops. Somehow the screen reacts to outdoor light and the screen brightness itself up and looks amazing. The app is simple to use and navigate. I actually like all the information is right up on the main screen. You get pretty much same info as other smartwatches. Calories, steps, hear rate and so on. Information is accurate on par with my other devices. Something about the app is that is like a dark mode and there's wasn't an option to change to lighter color.
Up to now, the only drawback I dislike about the watch is its charging port. It lacks wireless charging and the port is deeply set with the metal contacts facing inward towards the body. Consequently, with prolonged use and exposure to body sweat, the port may accumulate grime and the contacts may corrode. This watch has an actual GPS that does not rely on your phone. I run multiple times a week and that GPS has been on point.
Overall of you are passionate about fitness and love the outdoors, this is what this watch is all about. It's durable design is crafted to endured though conditions. With its extended battery life, you can rely on it to last for a week or more. In the box you get the watch, charging cable, and manuals.

High accuracy, DPI and Polling Baam!!
on March 2, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
The Corsair M75 wireless mouse is pretty much an update from the M75 Air. They are practically identical in design but with a few new upgrades such as the RGB lights, DPI button and power button. It has a 26k DPI optical sensor, Bluetooth connectivity and 2.4Ghz wireless band. The mouse can be used wired or wireless with the included Slipstream wireless receiver. If used wireless you can get approximately 210 hrs of battery life connected via Bluetooth and the RBG off. Using the Slipstream receiver and RBG off you’ll get approximately 105 hrs. With the RGB on you’ll get 65hrs with the Slipstream and 105 with Bluetooth. The build quality is good, it is very light and for the size I found it to be perfect. I have medium size hands and it feels super comfortable. This mouse can be used for everyday general use but is actually designed with gaming in mind. It is very accurate and for a person like myself who plays at a fast pace the high DPI and polling helps. This mouse can be used with either hands and it comes with swappable side buttons.
Setting up is simple: plug and play via USB, or connect it wirelessly using Bluetooth or the included low latency wireless receiver. A multi-function button on the mouse's right underside handles both Bluetooth connections and wireless receiver pairing, while also serving as the power button. The left underside button is to adjust the DPI. To be able to use most of the mouse features you need to download the iCue software from Corsair. From there you can do key assignments, adjust the light effects, calibrate and more. I really like how you can set different stages for the DPI. Instead of manually adjusting it you can just switch it to whatever setting you preset.
I tested the DPI and I was actually getting little over 26k. The included receiver supports a blazing-fast 2,000Hz polling rate, ensuring near-instantaneous data transmission between your mouse and PC. However, the Bluetooth connection settles for a more modest 125-130 Hz, which might not be ideal for competitive gaming. For the best responsiveness, sticking to the wired connection yields an impressive average of 800-935 Hz, with peaks reaching 1,030Hz. The wireless receiver was not that far behind. I was getting from 750-900 Hz, with a max of 965Hz.
As for the RGB lights they are ok, nothing wow but they are bright. It has two lighting zones, one is where your palm rests and the rear bottom of the mouse. One thing about the lights is that once your hands are on the mouse, the lights will not be visible. The bottom light is also kind of hard to see unless you have a bright desk. I use a black pad and it is barely visible.
Overall this is a great mouse, It is very accurate and extremely comfortable. The high DPI ceiling and adjustable polling rate cater to a wide range of gamers, particularly those who demand pinpoint accuracy and minimal lag. In the box you get the mouse, USB cable, wireless receiver, replacement buttons and warranty card.

Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 uses cutting-edge millimeter-wave radar technology, which can accurately detect the presence of people even with slight movements. This technology ensures continuity and stability of the smart device. It also has the function of zone positioning, which allows for the automation of different conditions in different zones, such as beds and tables. One space can now be divided into up to 30 small zones and recognize up to five targets (Multi-person Detection). It can also control other smart home devices through ecosystems such as Apple Home to achieve wider applications. It features functions such as human fall recognition, sleep monitoring and a built-in light sensor. Likewise, it is a great helper that can truly combine the diversity of the user's home life and realize the automation of different personalities.

Impressive Presence Sensor!
on February 28, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
This presence sensor from Aqara is nicely made. It is small but very capable. It has some water resistance. It is rated IPX5 and can be placed outdoors even in the bathrooms. This sensor uses 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi band, Bluetooth. According to the manufacturer, Matter will be supported in the near future via OTA update. It detects light, presence, sleep and can be used for fall detection. It is easy to set up with the use of the Aqara Home app. This sensor and its capabilities is targeted mostly for home automation thinkers. You can link your Aqara account with Google, Alexa, and IFTTT to create automations or use its own Aqara app. This device also works with Apple HomeKit out of the box. It is capable of creating multiple zones within a room and can detect up to 5 people at once. The sensor itself is small, light and can be placed practically anywhere. It is extremely accurate and the automation that can be created with it is crazy. However, you required mostly Aqara own equipment (for now). The reason I say that is because at the time of my review the sensor does not support Matter and if you don’t have Aqara devices the automations are kind of limited.
I created several zones within my bedroom highlighting 3 entrances/exit and my bed. What I wanted to create was, if the sensor sees me going in entrance 2 which was my bathroom to turn on the bathroom light. Another one was, if it detects presence on the bed for x period of time, to turn on the ceiling fan. Since I cannot link the sensor to Smartthing where I have most of my connected devices, I cannot do that. I tried with IFTTT and created a few applets and it did not go well. I hope with Matter support that can change. Even though Aqara supports Smartthing are mostly old devices via Zigbee, not the new ones. When I created some automations using the Aqara app and using Aqara products, it worked. The sensor is very accurate but is a hit or missed when doing automation in dedicated zones.
This sensor also detects falls but it has to be mounted on a ceiling and the cable provided it is too small for that type of application. It is approximately 6 feet. I came up with an idea to replicate the fall. I mounted the sensor on my ceiling fan and connected it to a powerbank and to my surprise it actually worked. I was impressed, I simulated falling several times and it nailed it every single time. Using the Aqara doorbell chime I created a fall alarm detection. Everytime a someone falls, the chime will sound an alarm. That also went flawlessly. The alarm sounded every single time I simulated the fall.
The accuracy doesn’t stop there. I also tried the sleep detection feature which is in beta at this moment, and that was crazy. I compared the sleep data with my smartwatch and it was just slightly off. I can attest that the accuracy this device works on is something to be impressed by. The numbers were extremely close for a device that doesn’t have to be worn. The sleep time was just off by 20 min and the heart rate was practically on par with my smartwatch only off by single digits, WOW. The features don't stop there, it has few AI settings. One of them was AI learning, the sensor will learn to detect pets and cleaning robots when someone is not present. Despite mostly being positive about this sensor, unfortunately it can only do one thing at a time. In other words if you use it for detection it has to be mounted in a certain way and it is only going to do just that. The same goes for sleeping and fall detection. I'm pretty sure when this device matures they can make some type of update and make it all in one with a single point of installation (ceiling).
Overall I am very impressed with this presence sensor. It is super accurate, small and easy to install. Its capabilities for home automation can be endless once it starts playing nice with third parties. At the price point it is definitely a must have for home automation thinkers. In the box you get Sensor, USB-C to USB-A cable, mounting kit with magnets and manual.

A well capable doorbell at reasonable price
on February 27, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
The Aqara doorbell 4G is a very capable doorbell at a fraction of the price compared to the more expensive counterparts. The build quality is good. It is mostly plastic but sturdy. It definitely has a modern style and it looks good. Installation is pretty easy once you figured out the hidden screw on the side of the device. The installation instruction does not come in the box, instead you get a small manual with a QR code that will take you to the installation website. This doorbell can be powered with batteries (6 AA) which are included or it can be hardwired. If connected via hardwire, the batteries become a backup for power outages, that’s dope!. It connects via 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi and has a 1080p camera sensor with 162 degrees field of view. It also includes a wireless chime that also works as local storage. However, you have to provide your own MicroSD card up to 512GB. Matter will be supported in the near future, at the time of my review Matter was not available on this device. Finally to set it up you require the use of the Aqara home app.
The doorbell button feels clicky, but when you install the batteries, it becomes sturdier. The video quality is surprisingly good, with clear images with great colors. The 162 degrees field of view is mostly wide so depending on the height of the installation you may not be able to see packages. I have that issue with most of the doorbells I used. The night vision was good as well, very clear even when zoomed. Like other smart doorbells this also has a two-way audio system. I find this one to have a louder speaker than the other video doorbell I used. This doorbell has plenty of features and some are customizable such as the ringtones. You can actually upload and use your own ringtone for the chime instead of using the preloaded one you get from the manufacturer. You can also mask your voice to answer door rings from preselected tones within the app. Some may find this silly but it is there. You also get 7 days of free cloud storage. The included wireless chime is small and can be placed pretty much anywhere. It connects via USBC to USB-A. If your outlet doesn’t have USB-A sockets, you will need a USB power brick. Despite the chime having a small form factor it is very loud.
When it comes to home automation you can use Aqara home app or link your Aqara account with other third-party services like Google Assistant, Alexa, and IFTTT. If you are a Smartthing user this will not work with it yet, not even connecting the Aqara hub via Matter. This, like other Aqara products, it works with Apple Homekit out of the box. I bind the Doorbell to the Aqara E1 Hub and I was able to create some automations with the Aqara U100 smart lock. For some reason it did not let me use the facial unlock feature; the option was locked in the settings. Some of the automations you can create with this doorbell using the facial features like assigning ringtones to familiar faces are pretty cool. Another automation I created is using the doorbell chime, to make an alarm sound when a water leak is detected. The list of automation can go on.
Overall this doorbell works extremely well at the price point, and not to mention all the features it’s packed with. It takes great videos day or night. It comes with a customizable loud chime. It offers 7 days free storage and the ability to store locally. You have the option to use it with batteries, hardwired or both. You do not require an additional Hub to use it. When it comes to home automation this doorbell is a pro. In the box you get the 4G Doorbell, 6 AA batteries, installation kit, wedge bracket, wireless chime, USB cable and manual.

Very Good and Capable Lock
on February 27, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
This Aqara U100 smart lock is very well made and looks nice. The square shape is sleek and the silver color will go well with modern designs. It came nicely packed and to my surprise it included a wireless hub (Hub E1). The hub is not necessary to use the device, however it is needed if you want the remote capabilities and automations. This lock works on Bluetooth and Zigbee technology. Despite it having Zigbee, after several tries it did not pair with my Smartthing. Installation was not hard at all, it took me about 10 min. However, in the packaging it does not include an installation guide. There’s a QR code in the supposed to be user manual which will take you to an installation video, and the actual user manual is another QR code. The reason for my quick installation was because I did not have to remove the deadbolt or the strike plate. Maybe because it was from another smart lock, but either way that would only add up another 5 to 10 minutes.
Once the lock is installed you’ll need to download the Aqara app to set things up. The app was simple to use and to navigate. If you end up setting the hub first, from the hub settings you can bind and set up the lock at the same time. This lock has plenty of features, one of my favorites is the auto lock right after you close the door. No need to do anything, just close the door and it will lock immediately. That being said my least favorite was the normal way of locking. You have to press the and hold the lock symbol for a few seconds. I found that to be annoying coming from another smart lock with fingerprint locking and unlocking. Not even entering your code will lock the device. In other words you will depend on the auto lock features, and that has to be enabled manually. I’m pretty sure that can be fixed with a firmware update.
There are several ways to unlock, either with a physical key, key pad, remotely, fingerprint and NFC tags. The fingerprint scanner works like a charm, I just had a few missed reads here and the but for the most part was very responsive. You can add multiple fingers too. The locking mechanism was fast, one of the fastest I've used and I own several smart locks from different brands. By sliding down the cover underneath the keypad, it will reveal the keyhole. It will work just as you expect from any other lock. This lock can be used with automated features; the problem is you will need to either have more Aqara devices, or ink the E1 hub with Smartthing or IFTTT. You can link your Aqara account to Google Assistant and Alexa. But to be honest they are both limited in what they can do when it comes to automation. You can definitely control this lock with a voice assistant. For those with Apple homekit you are in luck. You will be able to use your iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock the door right out of the box. I tried doing the same thing with Android phones and smartwatches and it did not work. The closest one was the Galaxy phone, I was able to add a keypass to the Samsung Wallet, however it didn’t work. Last but not least the included NFC tags work beautifully. All you need to do is present the tag to the door and it will lock and unlock the device.
The lock has a built-in speaker and is kind of loud too. I like the sound of the alarm when you enter the wrong code. This device uses 4 AA batteries and they are included. Manufacturer claims they will last approx 8 months and of course that all depends on the usage. Comparing it to my other devices I would say in the real world it will last around 4-5 months which is still great. The included E1 hub is a small USB dongle that can be plugged anywhere in the house. It works on Zigbee, 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi band and just recently they added Matter support. However, Matter seems to be limited. After pairing the Hub via Matter to my Smartthing I was only able to see the lock, not the other devices connected to the Hub. This hub will add automations and the ability to control the lock away from home. You can bind other Aqara products to this hub as well. I really like this hub due to its minimal design and capabilities and pair with the Aqara app automations are easy to create.
Overall I am very impressed with this smart lock and its potential, not to mention the included hub that supports Matter. Is very well built, easy to install, is modern and elegant, and supports plenty of smart integrations to include Homekit out of the box. With the included NFC tags makes this another convenient way of unlocking your door. I am very excited that Aqara is finally becoming a competitor in the smart home arena and am eager to see their 3 point smart lock in the US market. In the box you get the lock, 4 AA batteries, 2 NFC tags, 2 keys, USB Hub (E1), installation kit and user guide.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The solution for small office/business
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: Wishkid
This is a very well made and budget friendly office printer. Its small footprint makes it easy to fit where there's space limitation. Setting it up was simple after downloading the dedicated Brother's mobile connect app and installing the included ink cartridge. It took me approximately 10 minutes or so. The printer can be used wireless or wired via ethernet or USB connection. The USB and ethernet cables are not included with the package.
On top of the printer it has a small LCD screen and buttons to help you navigate through the printers menu. The screen itself is a small horizontal line that can display 16 charters. The printer's tray holds 250 pages and is capable of printing 36 pages per minute. Printing wirelessly was almost instantly and it prints very fast.
On the front there's a slot for manual paper feeding. You can insert the same type of paper as the bottom tray but you can also insert envelopes. The drawback of that manual feeder is that you can only do 1 page at a time and it doesn't have a paper holder. You can actually start a printing sequence from that manual feeder and the printer automatically continues from the bottom tray.
The app was easy to use and to navigate. Included with the printer is a 4 months free trial of their Refresh EZ print subscription. The way it works is the printer will order the ink cartridge automatically once it starts running low and it will be delivered to your location. Their subscription prices vary depending on the amount of pages printed per month. They are actually reasonable, starting at $.89 per month for 25 pages to $24.99 for 1500. With that it also included extended warranty for the printer.
Overall this is an excellent budget printer for a small business or office. It is easy to set up and use. It performs very well and has multiple ways for connectivity to include ethernet and USB. In the box you get the printer, black toner, power cable, and some manuals.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really wanted to fall in love with it
By Anonymous from Fort Worth, TX
At the time I'm posting this, the Wi-Fi model ships with broken Books and YouTube apps (major advertised features). Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint.

Looks good on paper
By Sam313 from Westland, Mi.
After spending $200 on a router you would expect a great working device, sadly to say that hasn't been my experience with this device. It is constantly dropping wireless connection and that was the main reason I ditched my old one.
I went through tech support trying to see if they even had a clue as to what could be wrong, but all they would offer was a reset, launch the router in rescue mode, upload latest firmware. This equals to the same poor results. I replied back telling them I have the same issues and they simply say (and I quote) " Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. " Meanwhile I'm left with a 200 dollar brick.
I'm going to exchange it for another one hoping I have a defective device.

Excellent Performance and Range
By Wishkid from Florida
I was very skeptical about this router even though after much research since Asus was not actually a router builder. I have owned this device for about 3 month and it has prevailed very well after the few hiccups at the beginning. First thing first if you buy this router make sure you update the firmware, that was one of the main issues I had in the begging after setup, some of my connections were dropping and that’s due to faulty firmware, I even though about returning it. After upgrading the firmware it took two of them, and the issue was gone. Second if your familiar with router setup use the advance setup not the wizard, I tried that and it was a pain in *** I could not get connected to the internet no matter what, so I end up resetting the router and do it the old fashion way advance mode, after that no issues. Another thing other has mention this router does get hot you don’t need to touch after setting it up but is something to mention since I experience it when removing some of the hard drive I have connect it to it.
Pros: Range is excellent this was one of the reason I replace my old Linksys E4200. Internet speed and routing are a pro I finally getting HD with no lag streaming two Xbox at the same time. I have over 18 devices connected to this router I it performed like a champ no wonders it cost so much. Cloud service easy to setup and you can access from any were including your phone. The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Update 4/16/2013
April 16, 2013
After I left my initial review few days later Router went bad, I honestly don't know what cause it. The router was not connecting to the web even though it was connect it to the modem, when browse internet could not find page after few refresh it work then it goes bad again, it happened wireless and also hardwire I performed some troubleshooting and firm updates but no luck. I would really recommend if you going to spend the money on this router you may want to purchase the warranty service from Best Buy it will save you any hassle in the future since you can take it to the store and get a new one. I received an RMA within 24hrs that wasn't so bad, the worst is that you have to send the router to them and pay for the shipping one way, they well send it back to you after repair and ground service I send it air 3 days service, that's awful service after speeding so much on this router. Any way RMA will take approx. 3 weeks according to them so if this router is your primary you will be out of luck, luckily my modem support WIFI. This comment will not by any means regret my purchase is an electronic device and they can go bad, this just an update since I cannot over write my initial review, I learn my lesson next time if you going to spend a lot of money on high end device pay the extra cash on BB warranty, you may not use it but look my situation now I have to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement, the router went bad approx. 3 month after purchased seen similar to other negative reviewers. But overall the router does what it supposed to do when is working. Knock one Star out for the awful warranty support, so it will be 4/5 stars.

Update2 5/14/2013
May 14, 2013
Finally received my router yes it took long time. Let me start by giving this router 5* stars and here is the reason why: Today 5/14/13 I received a new router not a refurbish but a new router in the box with everything. When I hooked it up guess what same issue started again so now in really convince is not the router nor the Modem. I was trouble shooting this thing for almost 5 hours until finally got the solution. If you have Comcast and you have the triple play you may received a modem Arris TG862 which act as a modem and wireless router. That being said, make sure you are using a Ethernet cable Cat5e( included with the Asus router) minimum Cat6 better, that will enable the T1000 connection between your router and the modem but that was not the problem. The whole problem was with the ISP all along the TG862 modem act as a router so when you connect your Asus router to that modem it will start having issues obtaining DHCP address. That's why it was dropping my internet connection because it was dropping the WAN because it could not renew or obtain that DHCP address. How did it notice going into the Asus router Log screen you will see many times WAN connection stopped then try to re-start. How to fix that call Comcast and tell them to turn the routing feature OFF from the modem and turn it into BRIDGE mode. That will let the Asus router to the routing and will fix that connectivity problem hope this help others in the future.

I seen the 4K picture in store and it looked awesome. But when I got the TV home and seen the screen in regular 1080 resolution I regretted it immediately. My friend bought the Samsung 65" 1080P 240hz the same day for $2500 cheaper and his picture and features are a lot better in my mind. I actually think my TV I replaced with this (samsung 58" plasma) had a better picture also. Disappointed!

This is my 6th Sony television and the best yet! This TV is an upgrade from my Sony 60" 1080p set. I love being on the cutting edge of television technology! Easy to set up and more apps than you will ever need. I also pre-ordered the 4k player. Hopefully it comes soon. The picture is astonishing! The 3D is unbelievable. What precise 3D should be. So much better than with absolutely no shadowing. Watching Avatar, the little flying creatures look like they are in your room. So much so, that you are truly tempted to reach out and grab one. I compared this tv with several others and Sony has the best picture, features, etc. Best Buy makes you comment using a minimum of 50 characters. Let me just sum it up with one word "WOW"!

Great features but dark scene performance kills it
By ErickRPG
I purchased a 75" because I wanted to upgrade when my 70" panel failed. The bright scene performance is amazing, even on 1080p blu rays. But because of the IPS edge lit panel when it is a dark scene the bad contrast ratio really shows. Lots of grey and it's very dull and washed out. I had read that this TV was slightly better in all ways than my LG 70LB7100. But to be honest with you, I think the 3D in this set is actually not as good as my old 1080p LG. And I think the blacks were even just a tad bit better on the older TV. When I say 3D it just feels as if the 3D does not pop out as impressively as the old set. There is no crosstalk. I ended up sacrificing screen size and went with the 65" OLED because black level performance on this set is horrid.

Can the SoloCam L40 (or any other SoloCam cameras) use the Solar Charger accessory?

The manufacturer does not clearly stated if it does, but I believe it do because on the camera power manager option setting on the L40 you can choose the power source from internal battery or solar power.

Will this work with an iPhone 12Max with a Mous Limitless 3.0 case. Anyone foolish enough to use any gimble w/o some sort of protection is just asking for trouble IMO. I really want to pick one up but not if it won’t work with a case.

I used it with an Android galaxy note 20 and I had a case on it. The clamp expanded wide enough to support the case. So to answer your it most likely work with your iPhone and the case.
