Super impressive laptop
on April 6, 2024
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
I am very impressed with the performance of this laptop. Once everything is set up, it is smooth sailing. I am not a huge fan of Windows 11, but it is really not a big deal. I use programs like Cricut Design, Canva, etc. and I love how crisp and clean the screen is. It is very high definition. I also wanted to see how well it would do with video games, so I tested an older game first, no issues, great performance. I tested a newer game (released within the past year) and everything worked really well. Graphics weren't foggy. The refresh rate holds up.
Video conferencing went well. Camera is great.
The sound quality is also really impressive. For a 15" laptop, I did not expect a lot of boom or clarity. I was wrong. This laptop really surprised me with how well it delivered. It was a lot of fun playing games and listening to music.
The keyboard is another thing I really like. The keys are easy to press down. It is a full size keyboard. I really like the feel of it. I am also a fan of the num pad. I do a lot of spreadsheets at home and it's just easier to have it there.
The battery holds up really well and charges quickly. If I'm just doing internet browsing or light performance things, I can be on it all day and the battery still won't be depleted. If I'm playing a game, it lasts for about hours at full high performance. Great battery life.
The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the weight of the laptop. It is a little heavier than what I expected, but honestly, it's not that bad. With as much power as it puts out, I would expect it to be a little heavy. It's a little under 4 lbs if my scale is correct.
Overall this is a great product. It would be good for anyone needing a high performance, high definition laptop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No other stick vacuum gives you the convenience of charging, storing and auto emptying like the LG All-in-One Tower. It’s a great upgrade from your regular stick vac you have to empty by hand. Your hands, floor and air stay clean and your CordZero vac is ready to go when you need it next. Plus, make cleaning your floors less of a chore with a quick-release battery and Kompressor technology for uninterrupted cleaning, along with a telescopic wand and convenient attachments that extend your cleaning reach.

Nice vacuum and wonderful improvements!
on January 7, 2024
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
The LG CordZero line keeps getting better and better. I really like the improvements they have made to this line. The battery power lasts a long time. I have about a 2300 SF house and I can get all of it vacuumed on one charge. The only issue I have is that we have a dog that sheds A LOT, so I do have to empty the cannister twice or three times. Honestly though, emptying the cannister takes no time or effort at all, especially with the collection tower. All I have to do is set up the vacuum on the tower and the rest is done. The tower contains a powerful suction that collects all of the dust into a vacuum bag. It's very convenient and clean compared to having to empty it by hand in a trash can. Another great feature is the lever on the side of the cannister. Now instead of trying to fish out hair that got wrapped around the filter at the top of the cannister, you can press the lever down and it will bring a ring down from the top of the cannister to push all the hair down to the bottom of the cannister making it easier to clean out. It makes things so much better.
The noise level of the vacuum is moderate. I mean, it's a vacuum so it's going to make noise.
Assembly took no time at all. Overall I would highly recommend this vacuum.

Excellent SSD
on November 22, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
The Crucial X9 Pro for Mac Portable SSD is quite impressive. The physical size of the device alone is astounding, especially for the amount of data it can store. It is small enough to fit in your pocket without making it obvious that it is there. It even boasts a hole in the top corner making it convenient to carry on a keychain if that is something you desire, though doing so may become awkward if you choose to have it ready at all times since it requires an external cable so it can be attached to your desired computing device. It comes with a USB-C cable that is about 8 inches long. Crucial does note that they have created the supplied cable specific for the X9 Pro for Mac and encourage to always use it over a cable from a different manufacturer.
They advertise that it is capable of reading and writing at speeds up to 1050MB/s. To test these claims, I used the application Amorphous Disk Mark with a 2017 Mac equipped with a 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor. A sequential read/write test resulted in a read speed of 1032MB/s and a write speed of 900 MB/s. Running the application multiple times generated similar results, so the claims are valid. I compared the X9Pro’s performance to a 1TB SSD using USB 3.0 that is about 10 years old. The older hard drive generated a read speed of 64MB/s and write speed of 45MB/s.
To further test, I began transferring files from my Mac to the X9 Pro and used a stopwatch to roughly estimate transfer speeds. I started with a folder that contains about 1GB worth of data which completed in about 12 seconds. Another transfer of about 25GB took just over 4 minutes. Comparatively, I copied the same data to my older hard drive resulting in transfers that took 30 seconds and 6 minutes respectively.
I also tested the claims that the cable that is specific for the Crucial X9 Pro for Mac Portable SSD is necessary to reach the claimed transfer speeds. To do so, I switched out the supplied cable for the one that came with my Apple iPhone 15 Pro, which is only rated for USB 2.0 speeds. Amorphous Disk Mark reported a read speed of 43MB/s and a write speed of 41MB/s. Using the same data to copy files from my Mac to the X9 Pro I tested the transfer times with the USB-C cable that came with my iPhone. The 1 GB transfer took about 32 seconds and the 25GB transfer took about 11 minutes.
Another exciting feature if you are a user of an iPhone 15 model, you now have the capability of saving and recording to external USB-C drives as long as the format is compatible. The Crucial X9 Pro for Mac Portable SSD comes compatible with iOS out of the box and I was able to transfer 300 photos in a matter of seconds.

Retro...kind of
on November 12, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
Anyone who grew up in the 70s,80s, and 90s experienced Polaroids in their prime. There is a certain nostalgia that comes from looking through the camera, hitting that button, and hearing the film come out. Even more from shaking the picture to help it develop faster. This device does just that, but now with modern technology, you can also bluetooth this device into your phone and have a whole new experience.
Before I go any further, I want to make note for you that this kit does NOT come with the film. I had to purchase that separately which is a really bummer. Just keep that in mind when purchasing.
Now I will say because of what we know now, we are not supposed to shake the Polaroid pictures because it can cause issues with it's development. Images can blur or bubbles can form. This is kind of a drag because, well, we all did it growing up. Not terrible, but now I have to set the photo down in a shaded area and wait...like watching paint dry. LOL It's part of it.
The capabilities of this camera are amazing really. You can add tinted lenses to it for a hazy red, yellow, or blue effect. The bluetooth option gives you manual photo adjustments if you are a pro that knows what they are doing. You can also purchase different kinds of film that has a variety of borders. The possibilities are endless. Worth the purchase to have all sorts of fun with retro looking photos.

Not bad for a travel device
on November 12, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
This little guy packs a punch. I was surprised at how small it is even though its a facial hair remover so it needs to be small. It definitely does the trick. I wouldn't say this is groundbreaking, new technology, but the manufacturer does it well. I have used a razor before to get the peach fuzz off but never used an electric shaver. Luckily I only have peach fuzz but it does the trick quickly.
The only complaints I have about this device is that it is louder than expected, doesn't always get the hair the first time around, and the battery access is the same as the on/off switch. I expected the device to be a little quieter since its small but it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, it's not extremely loud, but I can't use it when my fiancé is sleeping in the room next to me. I generally have to make multiple passes to get everything smooth. In order to change out the batteries, you twist the bottom cap and it pops open. The problem is that you turn the device on and off by twisting that same cap, so I'm constantly accidentally popping the batteries out of it.
Overall, it is a good device that will get the job done. It has a little mirror on the cap that makes it great to travel with and the batteries are easy to replace.

Am I coming in clear? You bet I am.
on November 12, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
This product has helped me a ton in my day-to-day job. I am an Executive Assistant and I am constantly having to multitask. Taking notes while on the phone is easier. We also use a program that is an internal messaging system but we also use it for video conferencing. This headset helps block out all the excess noise coming from outside of my office and people have commented that they can hear me a lot better than they could when I was using just a set of wireless earbuds. I also like that in order to mute my voice, all I have to do is tilt the microphone up and it mutes me. I don't have to worry about searching for a mute button on my call or video call.
I will say the only downside to this headset is that it makes my ears sweat after about 30 minutes of use. It's not terrible, and I'm not sure it can really be improved in any way, but it something that I noticed happening. I also have a hard time wearing earrings while using the headset for about that long as well. Once again, not something I think can really be improved but it is something that I noticed.
All in all, I love this headset. It has helped me greatly in my job.

Works great in the office.
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
This camera is a nice addition to my work setup. Typically I use my built-in webcam on my laptop but since I use multiple screens, it was nice to have another option. It was super easy to setup. All I had to do was plug it into a USB port and it did the rest. The video quality was awesome. It was very clear and adjusted well to the lights in my office. I like how compact it is as well so that I can take it with me when I'm away from the office. Sound quality was good too. There was also another fabric faceplate in the box so that I could change it from a light grey to a dark charcoal color. That was not an important feature to me, but it might be to someone else. The faceplates are magnetic so you just pull one off and place another on. It snaps together. The only problem I had was that the stand does not adjust as well as I needed it to. I have a thin monitor so it could just be that I will only be able to adjust it to a certain position for that monitor. It did work better sitting on the laptop. Not a big deal but just in case anyone was curious about it.

Best earbuds ever!
on October 1, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
First of all, these are just cool. As a musician, I am familiar with the brand. I love the look of the case and the earbuds. They look extremely well made and like they will last for a long time. Typically I cannot wear earbuds like these because they fall out of my ears, but for some reason, these stay in and are actually comfortable. I enjoy the little guitar sounds it makes when the earbuds on turned on and off. They are also really sensitive to touch commands. The noise cancelling feature is great when I use these at work...almost too great. I get a little carried away with these and go off into my own little world. I kind of forget that my office door is open and people are trying to talk to me. Haha. Anyway these truly are a great buy. I use them for video calls with my coworkers and they said the call sounded crisp and clear. The only negative thing I can say about these was that I had trouble connecting them to my computer at first. Connecting to my phone was super easy, and actually, the Marshall app just popped right up as soon as I turned on bluetooth. Finding and connecting them to my computer, however, was not as easy but I figured it out.

Party time!
on September 4, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
Pros:
- The lights are on point, customizable, and awesome.
- I like that it can stand vertical or horizontal
- It was easy to set up
- It runs on battery, you just have to make sure it's charged before you use it.
- Can connect to multiple types of devices. Great for parties.
- Has an extra boost option that provides a fuller sound.
- Really puts out a clear and full sound without the boost.
- It looks great.
- It has a handle for easy transport. For it's size and weight, that was a big deal.
- The app is easy to use and provides some awesome customization such as lights. There is even a karaoke component to use.
Cons
- It's weight. It was a little on the heavier side. Thankfully it has a handle to make carrying it a little easier.
- It's limited on it's inputs. Since this isn't classified as a professional audio speaker, there isn't an XLR jack. Not a big deal, but would have been nice instead of using an adapter.
Overall this speaker brings the party. I love it. It's great to use indoors or outdoors. Anyone can easily connect to it if they want. I am going to recommend this to anyone I talk to. Great product!

Better low heat alternative to standard flat irons
on September 4, 2023
Posted by: OwNowBrownCow
This was the first comb straightener I have ever used, and I would say that it was good, but not great. Time is a big factor for me, and I noticed it took more time for me to use this product than my usual straightening iron. That being said, this seemed to be much healthier for my hair than cranking my iron up to 450 degrees and burning my hair. For that alone, I will continue to use this product. I just have to adjust my schedule accordingly. My hair did seem smoother and shinier using this product than my standard iron.
When you use it on wet hair, your hair has to already be seventy-five percent dry beforehand. You cannot use this on "wet" hair, more like damp hair. I do not like to use heat products on my hair when its damp so I already was not much of a fan of the idea, but I will say that the lower heat setting did just fine. The roots were a little difficult to get to but the majority of my hair was done well. Like I said before, this product just takes a little more time than what I'm accustomed to. I have to account for that in the mornings.
Overall if you are looking for a healthier alternative to a flat iron, I think this is the way to go. I didn't burn my hair using this. It was easy to understand how to use it. The instructions were clear.

Does this have a Display port? From the images it appears to. But from the specifications it does not list one.

Hello there! This has quite a few ports, including a display port, so I took a picture of the guide and attached it. Hope this helps.

Concoct a variety of coffee-based beverages with this combination DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine. Its cappuccino system easily prepares perfectly frothed coffee, and its 24-hour programmable timer lets you make up to 10 cups of brew on your schedule. This DeLonghi coffee maker and espresso machine also makes lattes and hot chocolate.
 

What is the hight that will fit under cabinets.

The coffee maker itself is roughly 13 inches tall. I would make sure it has enough clearance for the steam that comes out of the top. You don't want to constantly be hitting the bottom of a wood cabinet with hot steam every morning. I would say leaving about 6 inches from the top of the coffee maker would be fine.
