A lot in a small package
on June 11, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
The Dell Inspiron 14.0" 2-in-1 Touch Laptop 13th Gen Intel Core i7 with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD in Platinum Silver is a great laptop to have to take care of everyday tasks. While it's no gaming powerhouse, it does well with games like Candy Crush, and other puzzle games. The screen can be completely flipped around to use this laptop like a large tablet. The touch screen is very responsive and easy to view at just about any angle. My daughter used to to draw, and she liked how it worked. It also has a fingerprint scanner to be able to unlock the laptop, but this does require you to setup a password to unlock the laptop when you boot into Windows. One thing I don't like about this is the when folded in the tablet mode, the keyboard is exposed on the back side. This leave to possibility of scratching up your keys if you decide to set it down in this mode. The laptop speakers sound is actually quite good. Much better than I expected for a laptop of this size. It also comes with Dolby software that helps make just about any speaker sound good. It woks very well with headphones especially. The charging system is very clever in my opinion. It uses one of the two USB-C ports on the side. While charging, this still leave one port open for activities. And when not charging, you have two ports, and the charger can also be used charge just about anything else that accepts USB-C. This laptop is very lightweight and has a small footprint, so traveling with it should be pretty easy. It should fit in just about any backpack. One other small issue I have with this laptop is that it can get pretty loud when it's being stressed, and it does get pretty warm to the touch.

RAM that works well
on June 1, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
This Crucial Pro 32GB, (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 Kit was a quick and easy upgrade for my current gaming rig. It's a prebuilt PC that came with some generic 2x8GB DDR4-3200. It was very easy to swap out, and supports Intel's XMP 2.0. My motherboard is an Intel B660 chipset, and had zero issues recognizing the new RAM. It was a quick and simple swap and go. I feel it took longer to disconnect the all the cables from the back of my PC than to install the new RAM. I primarily use my PC for gaming, and can say that this RAM performs very well. Although, I admit that 32GB may be overkill. I like the fact that this RAM has heat spreaders, so I have more confidence that I won't run into heat related issues while gaming. I haven't tried to yet, but it would also help if you decide to try to overclock this RAM. Overall I'm very satisfied with this RAM, and would definitely would recommend this particular 32GB DDR-3200 kit to upgrade your PC

The Alienware 34" Curved Gaming monitor features QD-OLED technology and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. Featuring infinite contrast ratio, 165Hz refresh rate and VESA DisplayHDR TRUEBlack 400 for an incredible front-of-screen performance.
Posted by: kwilks3
This Alienware AW3423DWF monitor is simply the best monitor I have ever used/viewed. First off, it's very easy to assemble out of the box. No tools required. You get everything you need to connect it to your PC or laptop. It comes with a display port cable, a USB-C to display port cable, and a USB cable. Make sure your desk has room, because the stand has a large footprint. Luckily I have a monitor stand, which allows me more room on the desk. When I first set it up, I noticed the screen was glossy, and I immediately thought I was going to have an issue with glare, but surprisingly, that was not the case. Not only does it have minimal glare, the colors, and especially the black look ridiculously amazing. Having a very nice 27" gaming monitor prior to this, it was almost like back in the day(I'm old, lol) when you switched from VHS to DVD. Everything is crystal clear and the colors are amazing. There is ZERO bleed through on the black which in my experience with gaming monitors has never been the case. With a 0.1 millisecond response time and 165 Hz refresh rate, you are basically guaranteed a lag free, zero ghosting, insane gaming experience, granted your GPU is up to the task. Overall I love this monitor, and would highly recommend it.

Amazing sound and looks
on May 1, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
The Marshall Middleton is an amazing sounding and looking Bluetooth speaker. It has phenomenal sound quality right out the box. All the controls are on the top and easy to navigate and use. You can even adjust bass and treble. This speaker is ready to use rain or shine, making it perfect for camping or any other outdoor activities. It also perfect for indoor use as well, like small gatherings or just jamming out by yourself. I can confirm that it has sound coming out of the front, back, left and right, so the 360 sound claim is spot on. It easily fills rooms with sound. I've been on an 80's music kick lately, and everything from Kenny Rodgers to Motlley Crue sounds amazing on this speaker. You get over 20 hours of playback on a full charge, and it charges up fairly quickly. Also you can use it as a power pack to charge your phone if needed. The only issue I have is that at about 60 percent volume, the sound quality changes. The bass drops off dramatically the higher the volume, and treble kicks in decreasing the sound quality dramatically. The speaker gets loud, just no bass. Overall I really enjoying listening to all types of music at low to moderate volume on this speaker.

Solid choice
on April 10, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
These Jabra Elite 4 earbuds are a solid choice if you're considering them as an option. The have a sound profile I like. You get about 5 hours per charge from the case, and holds about 22 hours total including the case once you fully charge them both. The active noise canceling works great in most situations. Also, depending on the situation you may not even need to use ANC because these buds already do an excellent job blocking noise passively. In that case, you can get more time out of your earbuds stretching the time to about 28 hours total. The Jabra app is a must to tailor the earbud to get the best experience out of them. The 4-microphone technology helps make phone calls crystal clear in just about any situation. There are only a few minor issues I have with the Elite 4's. First is that the charge percentage of the case does not show in the app, so you'll just have make sure it's full before you head out. Also the volume is not as loud as other earbuds I use. They do get plenty loud, but 50% volume on these are not the same as 50% on other earbuds I have tried. Overall the Elite 4's are very comfortable to wear, perform well, and are a solid choice.

Great for at home grooming
on April 4, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
The Conair lithium-ion high performance metal clippers and trimmer are a welcomed addition to my at home grooming collection. This cordless trimmer make easy work of my hair. It comes with a case, charger block, cord, scissors, oil, and several attachments to make easy work of cutting your hair. When mine arrived, it had a decent charge, but I plugged it in and made sure it was 100% before using it for the first time. Adding a little oil that is included for the first use made cutting my hair very easy. I've been cutting my own hair forever, so I know that this set of clippers is doing an excellent job. I usually opt for a corded set of trimmers, but I can say that this cordless trimmer/clipper performs just as good, if not better because I do not have to fight with a cord when cutting my hair, and they have plenty of power. The trimmers blades have 5 height settings to make the cuts longer or shorter, or to get that fade just right. I do have one minor issue with the trimmers. The charge port is a micro USB port. Just about everything has a USB-C port. It's not really a big deal as long as you have a micro USB cord, which is included. Overall I really like this Conair Lithium-Ion high performance trimmers/clippers, and would definitely recommend them to anyone who cuts their own hair, like I do.

Impressive

Posted by: kwilks3
For the past few years I have been using Sony's STR-DH770, and I have really liked that receiver since I first powered it up. Now having the opportunity to upgrade to the STR-AN1000, it was no bainer, and an easy transition. Cosmeticly, it's identical except the led display has been updated. You can easily see what is going on with a quick glance. The STR-AN1000 was easy to initially setup, and using the auto calibration worked out very well in my situation. I was impressed how good it sounds while using it to watch movies. This receiver has Sony's 360 spacial sound mapping technology. Having only using Dolby Digital/Atmos in the past for watching movies, I was very curious about this new feature. Turning it on for the first time really blew me away. I was amazed how much more sound this feature brings to my listening area. It feels like speakers are everywhere. You are also able to use DTS:X. You are able to quick change between all the surround options with the remote, and to be honest, 360 SSM sounds the best to me in my situation. All of my main speakers are mounted in the ceiling, and thankfully there are settings during the setup that allows you to select this configuration. The center sound actually sounds like it's coming from the screen now. My small theater room has never sounded so good. I'm very impressed with this receiver.
Likes:
1.) 360 SSM makes it sound like speakers are everywhere
2.) Plenty of power
3.) The on screen GUI is easy to navigate

Dislikes:
1.) You have to aim the remote directly at the receiver to get it to work properly
2.) Auto calibration sets a 120hz high pass on all my speakers, and I haven't figured out how to change this yet.

Great Bang for your Buck
on March 2, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
The Corsair HS55 Wireless Gaming Headphones(white) are an excellent choice for a wireless gaming headset. First, I would like to start by saying these are extremely light. When I first removed them from the packaging I immediately noticed how light weight they are. The sound profile out of the box is pretty good, but with the iCUE software you are given access the an equalizer which will allow you to dial in the sound for your preference. You can also select the EQ presets and right from the headset itself. Also, they have Dolby Atmos for headphones which works very well while in game. it works really well with racing and FPS games. The mic works well enough for in games chatting, and also phone calls. I didn't have any issues with people not being able to hear me. On top of all this, the HS55's are very comfortable to wear. I wore them for a couple hours at a time and never had any fatigue or pain. I wear glasses while gaming, and headsets can sometimes cause pressure/pain, but that's not the case here. Battery life is pretty impressive. I'm current on day 4 of browsing YouTube and gaming for a few hours at a time and they still have a "medium" charge, which is about 50%. Another really cool feature about this gaming headset is that you can pair them via Bluetooth with your phone and still use them while gaming via the USB dongle. This allows you to easily accept calls while gaming without having to remove the headset. I discovered this by accident while gaming and my wife called me. Overall I'm very impressed for what you get in this price range for wireless gaming headsets, and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a wireless gaming headset.

It’s time to take your trim game to the next level—from the neck up—with The Beard Hedger from MANSCAPED. Its titanium-coated, stainless-steel T-blade will whip your whiskers into shape in a single swipe. Whether you’re growing the perfect stubble, a handlebar ‘stache or a full beard, this trimmer cuts through even the thickest of facial hair. Yep, even those stubborn stubbles. It takes balls to make a beard trimmer this good, which is exactly why The Beard Hedger could only come from MANSCAPED.

Excellent beard trimmer
on February 11, 2023
Posted by: kwilks3
The Manscape Beard Hedger is an excellent beard trimmer and is perfect for taking care of your beard. Getting the desired length you want is easy with the 20 levels of height adjustability with the built in guard. No need to have to switch out guards to get different lengths. The shape of the guard makes it excellent for trimming your beard. The whole package is very ergonomic and makes trimming your beard a breeze. When you are finished trimming your beard, the guard comes off easy so can easily clean the trimmer. It's as simple as running some water over the blades and guard and letting it dry out. The Beard Hedger also comes with a travel case that fits the trimmer perfectly and makes ideal for taking it on trips. The charger also fits inside the case. The battery life is great too. You get 60 minutes of runtime, so you can easily get a week or two of trimming your beard without having to recharge your battery.

Amazing performance for the price
on December 15, 2022
Posted by: kwilks3
The iBuyPower SlateHako2120i Gaming Desktop is an amazing gaming PC for the price. You get a phenomenal gaming experience for the money. The PC tower is one of the nicest I have seen from a pre-built system. You have plenty of room for upgrades, and it's very attractive. Not only does this come with an i7 12700, 16GB RAM, an 8GB Intel Arc A750 8GB GPU (which is very close to a RTX 3060), 1500GB of total storage (500GB SSD, 1TB standard HD), It also is water cooled. This dramatically helps keeping the PC cool, but also makes it much quieter. Even the RGB keyboard and mouse feel like much better quality than most prebuilt systems I have tried recently. On top of all that, there is next to no bloatware. Basically everything installed is either from Microsoft, or is needed for the equipment on board. It plays everything I throw at it effortlessly on High/Ultra settings, granted I am using a 1080p monitor. 4K may be different. I have built a lot of PC's in the past, and would have a hard time right now building a system at this level for this price. This is excellent bang for the buck. I did have a minor issue with the Intel Arc software not found when initially starting the PC, but updating all drives as anyone would starting this PC right out the box solved the issue. I have to admit, I'm very skeptical when getting pre-built gaming PC's, having built so many, this one has me very impressed. The only issues I can find with with this machine is that the CPU can not be overclocked, and the headphone jack on the top of the PC has a lot of static, Which hopefully a future driver update can fix. Thankfully the GPU can be overclocked and you get a nice boost in games when doing so. And this GPU is very easy to overclock via the Intel Arc software.
