More Than Just a Vacuum!
on March 28, 2024
Posted by: TechGuru
The Eufy Clean X10 Pro is amazing. I have now used several Samsung robot vacuums, and even without the mopping this blows it out of the water.
First and foremost, the suction is amazing. I really don't even tend to recommend robot vacuums to my clients unless they have pets, simply because they are so expensive, vacuuming provides exercise if you do it manually, and there's not a reason to vacuum more than once a week if you don't have pets. That said, this "sucker" is amazing (pun intended). It seems to be pulling up so much dog hair, it is amazing. Pair that with it emptying itself, and that is so awesome. My least favorite part about manual vacuuming with a dog is that emptying the canister on my Dyson manual vacuum, even if I do it outside, just gets dust and dander everywhere, and it's just not a pleasant experience.
On top of that, it mops! My wife is much more enthusiastic about mopping than I am, but now I can set this to mop every other day, and my wife is incredibly happy. Being able to mop, then dry itself, paired with vacuuming is just amazing.
having now had a robot vacuum / mop, I cannot imagine that I would go back to just having a robot vacuum ever again. This is so amazing and convenient, it does a good job, and I can't recommend it enough.

Healthy, On-the-Go Working
on March 23, 2024
Posted by: TechGuru
The casa pop-up desk is the set of accessories I did not know I need it. For a bit of background on me, I work 100% remotely, and so anything that can add flexibility to my repertoire is amazing.
The first thing I like about the casa pop-up desk is it's portability. It is similar in size to a laptop or about three magazines stacked on top of each other. This makes it easy and convenient to store in any laptop backpacks I have.
Once you open up the case, you can pull out the keyboard and touchpad, and then you can use the case itself to hold your laptop. It's great because you can set your laptop in such a fashion that the screen will truly be at eye level while the keyboard is at elbow level, which is the healthiest way to utilize a computer.
I found the touchpad to work incredibly well, but I am just too used to using my multi button mouse, and so while this touchpad will work great for most people out there, keep in mind that it's just as easy to use any mouse with this setup.
The keyboard and touchpad connect to your device using Bluetooth, meaning it will work with just about any laptop, as well as just about any tablet or even a cell phone if you really needed to.
Logitech says that the batteries on the keyboard can last up to 5 months, however the touchpad is much shorter at 3 weeks. Be sure to keep this in mind if you are reliant on the touchpad, as you will want to make sure to be charging this somewhat regularly. That said, about once a week will be plenty.
The bottom line is that this is a great option if you are somebody who is often on the go with your laptop, but would like an ergonomic and healthy way to sit or stand while using your laptop. With it being so lightweight and small, as well as being self-contained by having space inside the stand for the keyboard and touchpad, this is a great option for remote and on-the-go workers.

A Monster of a Gaming Rig
on March 19, 2024
Posted by: TechGuru
The Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) Strix is a beautiful gaming laptop. While it is very large, it's sports what I would call a very slim form factor. The enormous screen is amazing for any number of uses, but obviously ideal for gaming or high-end game or video development.
Because of the large screen size, there is a lot of real estate where the keyboard and touchpad are. The touchpad is enormous, which I don't particularly mind, but it caused odd placements for the top row of keys. I would have much rather had a slightly smaller touchpad to have a more standard keyboard layout.
As for gaming, I have lately been mostly playing Fortnite. Fortnite runs like a dream, everything stays way cooler than any laptop I've ever had. Additionally, it has handled anything I can throw at it from Xbox game pass for PC.
The Armoury Crate button and app will be welcome by people familiar with this from other ASUS gaming laptops, as well as the ASUS ROG Ally. This allows you to save specific settings for specific games to accomplish things like longer battery life, keeping your computer cooler, or other things you might want to address depending on the game you are playing. It loads straight into many launchers, and gets you gaming quickly.
I actually like the large screen so much for working that I would consider carrying this as my daily work laptop, it's a bit on the heavy side for that, but I don't see a lot of office laptops with screens this big.
I appreciate the inclusion of both USBC and full size USB ports, as well as a full size HDMI port and headphone jack.
This is a monster setup, and comes with a premium price. But if you absolutely need full on gaming on the go, this rig won't let you down.

A Great Gaming Mouse
on February 24, 2024
Posted by: TechGuru
The Corsair m75 wireless gaming mouse is a fantastic piece of equipment, especially if you love to play FPS games. The reaction times of the mouse are incredibly fast, ensuring that you are able to stay competitive, Even against the most challenging of online players.
The accuracy of this mouse is huge, having a native DPI of 26,000. This is incredibly high compared to your standard mouse, and allows much greater position in gameplay.
The RGB lighting has two zones, and is great if you enjoy this type of customization. For me, I prefer that all lighting stays off. That is not on screen, as it is very distracting for me, but I do love the way RGB lighting looks when people are not using their equipment. Equipment. For me, if I care enough, I would set it so that the RGB colors were on when I wasn't using the computer for aesthetics, but otherwise it is not needed. It's still looks very cool though.
The battery on this mouse is set to last for 80 hours, which is excellent, much better than your average console controller.
Additionally, this mouse is meant to be symmetrical so that it will work the same for a left-handed or right-handed user, which is a welcome feature, I am sure, for the lefties out there.
Ultimately, I love Corsair products, and this mouse is no different. It works great for basic gaming needs, but if you are playing more complex games, you may want a gaming mouse with more programmable buttons.

Great Printer for a Small to Mid-Sized Business
on February 16, 2024
Posted by: TechGuru
The HP officejet pro 9135 e wireless all-in-one inkjet printer is an excellent, affordable piece of hardware for your small to mid size office. Especially when compared against IT and print subscription services, this is such a great price.
First off, right out of the box, it struck me how large the paper storage trays were, and that there were two of them. A larger storage tray means that you run out of paper less often, and can focus more on doing work.
Double-sided printing and scanning give this the full gamut of capabilities that a typical small to mid size office would need.
Double-sided printing and scanning give this the full gamut of capabilities that a typical small to mid size office would need.
Color print jobs looked amazing, even just on standard paper. Although the photo paper quality was even more impressive.
The HP SmartApp allows you to print remotely, as well as share scans, etc. You can also set up the printer to automatically send scans to a network folder, an email address, or even a cloud drive. This allows for amazing workflows, especially at any businesses that require lots of scanning, such as mini law firms. This device can make ediscovery scanning and placement on network drives incredibly simple.
There is a printer ink service that you can subscribe to, which is great and convenient if you have an overcast office manager. It's also great for when you always need the highest quality of prints. Is the lack of ability to use generic ink. While this doesn't suit every use case, being able to use generic ink can save a lot of money for businesses and individuals who do a lot of printing. That said, HP touts that using this printer a black and white page is about a penny to print in ink, and the color pages about 16 cents. You can use those figures to help determine if this is the right printer for you, but also, if you have this printer, use those numbers for larger print jobs to determine if you need to take that job to a print shop or can just use this printer.

Crypto Hardware Wallet That is Easy to Use!
on January 12, 2024
Posted by: TechGuru
The Trazor Model T advanced crypto hardware wallet is a fantastic device, and if you have a lot of cryptocurrency, this is a very affordable way to take steps to protect your crypto.
The package comes with a USB a to USB c cable, the wallet itself, some stickers, and two recovery seed cards. I recommend keeping the recovery seed cards at a completely different location than where you keep your crypto wallet. Perhaps with a best friend, parent, or adult child.
What I love most about this wallet is that you can also back it up, which gives you even more protection of your assets. If you do back it up, again, just like above, store the backup somewhere other than where you are storing the hardware wallet.
Anyway, set up is easy, and taking your cryptocurrency out of online marketplaces helps ensure that hackers, especially remote ones, cannot access your funds.
As with all hardware wallets, at least at the time of this writing, keep in mind that fire and water can easily ruin your hardware wallet, which is why it is so important to have a backup. I recommend storing this inside of a Ziploc bag inside of a firebox in your house, at a bare minimum.

A Great, Affordable, Gaming Rig
on December 22, 2023
Posted by: TechGuru
I have been a fan of the HP Omen series for years now. This latest offering is no exception.
The sleek, yet simplistic styling are beautiful. Everything about the design is excellent for any gaming room.
The performance out of the box is amazing. I do imagine that I will be adding an additional hard drive for data that I do not need to access quickly, but the provided SSD storage is excellent for my gaming and speed needs. Boot up and everything is fast, as expected.
Gaming wise, not only was I able to enjoy games at the highest settings, it did not seem to put off as much heat as my 3090 rig. Less heat is great for gaming rooms with more than one PC. The system is not loud, which is very welcome.
Multitasking was a snap, this system easily handles multiple browser instances with hundreds of tabs open, a must for users like myself. I was also able to throw in Microsoft Excel, Office, and Outlook, and it worked like a champ. Definitely great for work as well.
Overall, this is an excellent, affordable gaming rig, which would make an excellent present for the gamer in your life.

A Great Keyboard for the Gamer in Your Life
on November 16, 2023
Posted by: TechGuru
The huntsman V3 pro 10 keyless analog optical esports keyboard is an amazing piece of equipment. Full disclosure, it is probably way Overkill if you are not a serious gamer at its price point, but if gaming is a passion of yours, this is the keyboard for you.
It features the ability to change the depth of button press required for the keyboard to detect it, meaning that you can make it so you don't have to press the keys as hard to get a response. Again, this is a feature that I can only imagine is needed by gamers.
There is a dial and several buttons that can be customized to pretty much whatever you might need them to adjust.
From a purely aesthetic standpoint, the keyboard is beautiful on its own, even without any backlighting, but you have full control over the color of the back lighting and underlighting on the keyboard, allowing it to accentuate any room color or style.
This would be an excellent gift for the gamer in your life.
The included wrist rest is nice, but not for everyone.

An Excellent Outdoor Camera
on November 14, 2023
Posted by: TechGuru
Over the past several years, I have become quite familiar with the Arlo cameras, and they never cease to impress me. This latest offering from them, the essential outdoor camera, is the same quality of product I have come to expect from the brand.
Installation of the camera is very easy, simply because it is battery operated so there is no need to deal with any wiring. Just a few screws to put in the mounting segment, and you're already almost done with the installation.
The setup is slightly more involved, but not by much. If you already have Arlo products, And it will take you no time at all, otherwise you're looking at about 15 minutes tops to set up the app, but probably much less.
The essential outdoor camera provides a clear high definition image with excellent night vision. The spotlight is very bright, and very useful to make sure that any trespassers are aware that they are on camera.
There is also two-way communication so that you can talk to someone you might see on the other end of the video feed. You can hear them, and they can hear you. The noise canceling audio seems to work pretty well, at least in high wind, but I haven't been able to try in the rain.
The one thing I would say is that they should be installed as high up as possible, simply because they are so easy to steel. If you don't have a means of putting it up high, then at least do your best to put it in a non-obvious place. That said, I don't recommend using the spotlight if you are dealing with human trespassers and the cameras place down low, as it will just tell them where it is so they can either smash it or take it. If you are using this primarily to see animals, then I would definitely stick with the spotlight.

A great, low profile machine
on November 7, 2023
Posted by: TechGuru
The Bella espresso maker is easier than I thought espresso was. Let me say that I am a novice, and this is the first time making espresso or even really having it. It was something my wife wanted, so I was excited about it too. Anyway, the process to using this machine is very easy, but I did not find the instructions clear so I had to jump over to youtube. I quickly found plenty of videos that made it easy for me to learn to use the machine.
I will say that my favorite part of this is that the steamer can also just be used for instant hot water. I currently have an electric kettle, which I will now be giving away because I don't need it anymore. This is a great extra feature I had no idea this would have.
As for the espresso itself, it's delicious. That said, remember that you need fattier milk to get a really good froth in a short amount of time. If you are using slim milk, it will take some time to get a good froth, unless I am doing it wrong.
Ultimately though, this is smaller than my drip coffee maker, which makes it a perfectly acceptable addition to my kitchen counter space. I don't like to give up counter space unless it's for a good reason, or for something that can do many things. The Bella espresso maker does both with its ability to give me hot water on demand.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?
It actually has a coaxial cable plug-in so that you can use any OTA antenna with it.You should be able to use the digital antenna you mentioned in your question. That said, you can get a new, Smart 4k TV for around $300-$450, so I would go that route unless you are on an extremely tight budget. 4k, plus Roku is a much better option in my opinion. If nothing else, Roku isn't going anywhere.
