Easy Upgrade to the PlayStation!
on July 1, 2023
Posted by: zaxdad
Overall, I would describe the performance of the WD Black SN850P as an excellent addition. it is great to immediately add the much needed extra storage as well as get consistent throughput in speed that you may not quite experience with an external drive option.
First, it is very easy to install. You have to carefully remove the cover to expose the drive bay but once you have that off, using a phillips head screwdriver to pop open the drive bay is very easy. Insert the drive into that slot and secure it with the screw inside the bay. Close everything back up as it was and reconnect all cables before powering on. Once installed, the system will prompt you to format the drive which is self explanatory and goes quickly. After that is completed, you’ll see a screen about throughput and be ready to go.
The additional storage space is most welcome as the system was nearly out anyway. It’s frustrating to have to delete applications and game save data to make it possible to play new games. The drive won’t solve all problems but it has at least allowed me to keep everything I’ve downloaded to date and keep playing. I have to be better about organizing and determining what I need to keep or not.
Overall I would highly recommend this additional hard drive for anybody who wants to stop deleting applications and keeping a lot of things installed at one time. The slightly enhanced performance also serves as a nice benefit to the extra storage space.
Definitely recommend this Western Digital SSD for your PlayStation.

The Ember Baby Bottle System warms milk or formula with the touch of a button and keeps it cool until you need it. Finally, feedings only require two things: a bottle and milk. With both convenience and precision at the heart of what we do, the Ember Baby Bottle System ensures safe and even warming using convection current technology and our triple-check safety features. Multiple sensors detect temperature and liquid levels, so every Bottle is warmed precisely and at just the right heat to preserve nutrients while eliminating hotspots. With the Ember Baby Bottle System, each feeding is warmed perfectly for anyone, anywhere - every time. Either tap the Smart Warming Puck or use the Ember Baby app to start a warming cycle remotely from another room, then track each feeding, log weight, and time spent breastfeeding, so you’re always on track. You can even get the latest information on feeding, health, and sleep all at your fingertips in the Learn Center of the app.

Excellent Registry Addition or Baby Shower Gift
on June 27, 2023
Posted by: zaxdad
Ember is the same company that developed the coffee mug that helps to keep coffee at the temperature you desire. That was certainly impressive but this, this is even better. You can use either formula or breast milk in the bottles just like you would any other normal ones. Once you fill them, you can keep the liquid cool until you’re ready for a feeding as it fits into an insulated cover. Once ready, you press the button on the warming puck and within five minutes, the liquid is heated to body temperature through and through. Just like any other bottle, it doesn’t hurt to shake it up but the system is designed to ensure that there are no spots that are hotter than others.
To accompany the bottle system, there is an app that can be used to keep track of everything such as feedings using the bottles, how much in total the baby has had and while breastfeeding, manual entries can also be added. The app can control the warming process, stop it if necessary as well as notify you when it is ready. You can set it up for multiple babies and will also give you some tips and tricks that you may not already know about. Additionally, the app is used to update firmware of the pucks themselves so you can ensure everything is current.
Overall, this is a great product and I think parents of all types would love it. Yes it is a bit pricey but there are many conveniences and knowing precisely what your baby is eating is very important.

The JVC Marshmallow Noise Cancelling Headphones are just okay for me. I found them to be slightly uncomfortable with the default ear tips that were installed already. There are several options to choose from so it may take a bit to get the ones that feel just right. I did change to the non-memory foam style and those were a better fit for my ears.
The bass is okay but not great and the tones are decent without doing any equalizer adjustments. The noise cancelling is also just okay. I was a bit surprised it wasn’t better. With so many options on the market to choose from, you may find others at the same price point that do it a bit better.
Setup was simple once I charged them for about two hours as they were dead out of the box which was a bit surprising. Maybe I’m simply spoiled by most products now having at least ½ battery life when opened. It paired to my phone quickly as well as my AppleTV and now show up right away in the list once I power them up.
When using these for phone calls, the person on the other side said I came through clearly and without any garble or distortion. I would also say that hen listening, I had a similar experience and when outside, they did a good job hiding noises around me from the caller.
The biggest plus about these is the battery life. I did get a solid 5 hours out of them and when in the case, they charged up to 100 again in about 90 minutes. The box advertises 30 hours in total and so far, I think they will certainly get very close.
In summary, they’re not the best but certainly not the worst. I would recommend them at this price point as it probably comes down to personal preference in this range.

Speedy, Great Resolution and Awesome Battery Life!
on April 23, 2023
Posted by: zaxdad
I feel like ASUS is really doing it again and again. I have now had several of their products and have yet to be disappointed. This 15 inch gaming touchscreen Chromebook is excellent and no exception. First for it not being a true PC, it still comes with a 256GB SSD and 8GM of RAM running on an Intel i5 processor. Booting is done in seconds and I'm up and running in no time.
The monitor has up to 1920x1080 HD resolution and is very crisp. As an additional benefit, it's a touchscreen that also folds in half so I can use it as a tablet at any point. Whether watching a movie or playing a game that works well with touch, that feature is now a must have.
The battery is great as well. After charging it to full, I have easily gotten about 10 hours in total use between two movies and some light gaming with some good graphics. Network connectivity is really good but make sure you have a strong WiFi signal so that when streaming your content, you avoid buffering, lag or dropped connectivity. In my case, I have not had any of that.
The sound of the built in Harmon Kardon speakers is very good as well. Decent bass and treble without changing any type of settings. I also paired my over the ear noise cancelling headphones very easily so I didn't bother everyone else. Again, the sound is great and the pairing process was very smooth.
When thinking about a purchase like this, keep in mind this is a Chromebook and not a full fledged desktop or laptop computer. Although built like an entry level MS Windows machine, some of your everyday apps won't work natively, but if they have the ability to work direct from a browser, you should be just fine.
There are ample specs on this Chromebook to make for a great secondary entertainment device that can be used for some of your non-movie or gaming activities. I would absolutely recommend this as long as you keep in mind what it would mainly be used for. Great job ASUS!

Good & Close Shave for an Electric
on February 9, 2023
Posted by: zaxdad
The Norelco 5400 does a decent job but I think my face may still be getting used to it. I have historically used a three or four blade disposable razor but I have wanted a shaver that I could use in the shower, without shaving cream, and if necessary, on the go.
There is a battery indicator on the front and I have had good luck with the life of it. Going through at least five shaves without having to charge it has been great. It comes with the cable that you plug into a USB A block that you may have for other devices around the house.
The shaver head flexes very easily around your face and adjusts as you go along the different places like your chin, cheeks or upper lip area. The shave itself is definitely not as close as a razor blade but I’m happy giving up the occasional nicks and cuts that come along with them from time to time. There is also a trimmer on the back that pops up for side burns or beard and mustache trimming.
After use, you just press a button on the front of the razor head cover and it flips up allowing for a quick rinse to clean it out. Push it back in place and you’re all set.
I am very happy with it overall and am looking forward to an easier, less painful shave going forward.

Might Just Be The Best On The Market
on January 2, 2023
Posted by: zaxdad
I have been using Bitdefender for a couple of years now and this latest product does not disappoint. I have it installed on three of my own devices along with a couple of my family’s devices and we have had no problems at all. First, I feel that the security scan for viruses is great. It is thorough, regularly updated and barely noticeable running in the background. There is very little memory usage and does not impact how my MacBook Pro, iPhone or iPad run. The family has nearly equal amounts of devices and they have not had any noticeable drag in their performance.
The unlimited VPN for both your laptop and mobile devices is very helpful. I travel frequently and do now want to use the unsecured open access that is provided in many places so I make sure the VPN is on as soon as a connection is made. It is also configureable to not be in use on known networks.
The program also has very good built in ransomeware and phishing protection. It also helps to determine where you may have compromised user ID information and passwords by running scans for you on ID’s you use. Although I don’t use it, there are also parental controls that can be configured for younger family members.
All in all, you cannot go wrong with this security product. It does everything you need and is thorough without being memory or CPU intensive. Definitely one you should try out for yourself.

Good but Need a Couple Enhancements
on January 2, 2023
Posted by: zaxdad
These hearing aids come in a nice charging box and it’s small enough to take anywhere just like you would ear buds. They are very comfortable to wear once you put them in. They almost completely disappear and are barely noticeable after wearing them for just a couple minutes. They are extremely light which helps to make sure you don’t feel them in your ear and, they fit very securely. The sound is definitely enhanced and in the perfect setting, they are great as long as the volume isn’t set too high.
I did however have a a few issues. There is a screeching noise when you are adjusting the settings and volume which was almost intolerable. The settings were easy to understand and adjust but there is barely any difference between the three different environment settings. They pick up radio frequencies in odd places. In a restroom with touchless faucets, there was a horrible popping noise along with static.
Overall, these are decent hearing aids but could use a couple of extras to make them just that much better. For one, Bluetooth compatibility would allow adjustments via a users phone. It would make it easier to adjust on the fly in those situations where it helps to be inconspicuous.

Easy to Use Photo Editor and Project Creator
on December 1, 2022
Posted by: zaxdad
Adobe Photoshop Elements is an advanced photo editor that you can use to manipulate your pictures in many ways. You can always resort to using the “auto” feature and typically you will be happy with the result but, there is so much more you can do with the tools within the application.
Initially when you open the software for the first time it does a nice job of suggesting things to try. When using it, you quickly get the hang of it. It is very intuitive and easy to use. You can cut figures out and paste them into other pictures, move things around on your pictures to make things look closer together, less messy, etc. Other suggestions from basic color enhancements to more advanced filtering such as black and white, transforming something into what looks like a drawing and various other types of filters.
The next part of the package is the Elements Organizer. This is where you import your media to have it all in one place for you to open items, manipulate them and save your creations for easy discovery when you are ready to reopen or otherwise work on your media. There are buttons on top that help you organize the files, sort by people, places, and events. This comes in handy when creating something for a person or group, a vacation or that tour you took in the city of old buildings, etc.
In my opinion, the best feature is called “Fun Edits”. This is where the software helps you get very creative. Within photos you can do things like create interesting affects, add overlays, change from your typical style to an antique look or perhaps add text or frames, etc. Definitely need to spend time using that part.
I don’t think you can go wrong with this software for photo editing. It does an excellent job of improving your photographs and helps you be a bit more creative with your end result.

Good Looking Router and Easy Setup
on November 15, 2022
Posted by: zaxdad
Immediately out of the box I was impressed with the Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro router. The packaging was well done but more importantly, right when you open it and see the router, it looks cool! The outer shell is smooth with minimal things to bring attention to it. You could put in a family room and have it sit on an end table and it would barely be noticed. There are no antennas or flashing lights and it is not overbearing at all.
Setup was extremely simple. I plugged the necessary cables into the router and as it powered up, I downloaded the google home app. It walked me through setting up the router and within about 6 or so minutes, I was up and running having replaced my other one and using the same network name. It immediately began seeing my devices in the home from printers to streaming devices to phones and each of them connected and work just like they had previously without any issues.
For it being a relatively small router with only one little light on the front, it works extremely well from a connectivity perspective. My home is just at about 2200 square feet and I had a good signal at the furthest points away from it. Additionally, I have future proofed my home so to speak as this router has Wi-Fi 6E built in. Although many new products are just now coming out with the ability to take advantage of it, you will start to see more 6E (also known as 802.11 AX) compatible devices coming to market in the near term. Additionally, should I need to broaden the signal due to distance or walls, etc. I can add additional ones to make sure I have no dead spots.
It has many of the features you would expect a router to have, you can create a guest network, pause devices if you need to control your kid’s surfing activity, as well as prioritize certain signals such as video calls and gaming.
I am very happy with this router and would absolutely recommend giving it a try.

Crisp and Clear, Sturdy Case
on November 10, 2022
Posted by: zaxdad
The Best Buy essentials brand iPhone 14 Pro soft shell case is well made and very affordable.
The case is basic but does a good job of protecting the phone. The interior of the case has a slight texture to it which seems to help the phone stay in place once it is put on. The material will not impact the finish of the phone when putting it on or taking it off. The edges are raised up in order to protect the corners and edges from being damaged during a fall. All areas of the phone are well protected and the raised edge will not interfere with a glass screen protector if you use one. On the back, outlining the camera is a slightly raised area that perfectly outlines the camera lenses to also protect them. Although there is no additional magnetic ring built into the case, it is thin enough to allow wireless charging.
The case is well made and fits the phone very securely. It makes a very affordable and good option to use. I would definitely recommend this line as an affordable option to protect your iPhone.

Can people around you hear what you're listening to?
I sometimes like to bring the volume on my headphones to one notch below maximum volume. If I do that with these while I'm at work will my coworkers around me being able to hear it very well while I'm wearing them or not too bad?
There is some sound that will leak out when turned all the way up but I tested this with my kids and they didn't feel it was that noticeable.

Use your Apple iPad Air like a laptop with this Logitech Type+ 920-006909 keyboard case, which features Bluetooth connectivity and familiar iOS shortcuts. The wake/sleep cover helps conserve your battery and adds durable protection.
I see no where that tells me what the case is composed of - can you provide. I am concerned about how long it will last.
I don't know the exact materials however I can tell you that this is a solid case and the parts that hold the iPad in place are much more durable plastics than previous versions. Highly recommend this one.
