Affordable Gaming Laptop
on July 3, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Acer Nitro 5 is a beautifully engineering gaming laptop. It has a huge screen, backlit keys, and the rest of the shell of the laptop is clearly designed for airflow, to keep it cool. This doesn't take away from the look of the laptop though, in fact, it looks very sleek.
If considering getting an SSD or not, go with the SSD, you won't be disappointed. With a startup from a powered off state taking less than 20 seconds, it is a dream to work with. I no longer try to keep my laptop on and waste battery just to avoid a restart.
It will play an current games reasonably well, but won't compete with a high-end desktop, as is to be expected.
This is a great price for a lot of power and style.
*Do note that, as is the case with many new laptops, this unit does not come with a CD/DVD drive.

A Great Cordless Vacuum
on July 3, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Hoover ONEPWR Blade+ vacuum is excellent. It gives plenty of suction for at least 1/2 hour, which is how long it took to vacuum my whole house (around 2400 square feet). The suction power was great, and it lasted.
The Blade+ is very versatile, able to pivot under many pieces of furniture, like couches and chairs. The head can also be taken off to use in tight corners, and even on the walls and ceiling.
An added feature is the inclusion of a ONEPWR battery, that works with all ONEPWR tools.

Easy to Install, Awesome Features!
on July 3, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Nextbase 522GW dashcam is great. It is easy to install, but more importantly, comes with two features I especially love.
First and foremost, the Emergency SOS option. If the dashcam detects a wreck, and the driver is unresponsive, it will notify emergency services. That is some great peace of mind.
Second, Parking Mode is great. It is similar to the Sentry mode on a Tesla. If the dashcam detects a disturbance, it will start recording. Pair this with the ability to add extra cameras (rear, side, etc.) with this system, and you can have some great coverage.
Having a dashcam is a smart idea for insurance purposes, and this is a great option.

Fast, convenient, and cool
on June 17, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I am so happy with the iRobot Roomba S9. It has made my life so much simpler. It does a great job vacuuming, rivaling the job that my handheld vacuum does. It has some serious suction and some great brushes.
What really impresses me is the speed with which the S9 is able to vacuum. It maps out your rooms, so it isn't going over the same areas over and over.
It is also great at getting corners and floorboards. Due to its shape, it can get right into corners and do a great job.
I love not having to worry about vacuuming anymore!

Expansive Security Monitoring
on June 2, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Lorex security system is very comprehensive. It includes four cameras, but can be expanded with more cameras. They record at 4k, have an alarm that can be remotely turned on, and a motion activated warning light.
They also have excellent night vision, and because they record in 4k, you can zoom in as much as 16x.
With 2TB of storage, the system can record as much as you need, even over extended vacations and travel.
One of the best elements of savings of the Lorex cameras, is that there is no monthly monitoring fee. Pay the initial purchase price, then you are done. No extra bills.
If you are not genuinely handy, I would recommend a professional installation for these cameras.

The Next Generation of Front Doors!
on June 2, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Yale Assure Deadbolt is a great way to keep your home secure, while at the same time adding convenience and access. Imagine needing to let a service person or friend in to your house when you can't be there. You can either give them their own security code to unlock the door whenever they need to, or you can unlock it remotely.
The installation was quick and easy, taking only a few minutes longer than a standard deadbolt installation. The extra time is only due to programming the lock, which only takes a few minutes.
Auto Unlock is a very cool features that detects when you arrive home, using your cell phone's location. This means you never have to fumble with keys, or even a key code, ever again. You can also use the app to check the status of your door, so no more trips back home just to make sure you locked the front door.
The only downside to this deadbolt is that it would be nice if it came with a matching handle, so I wouldn't have to make a trip to a different store to pick one up. One stop shopping would be nice.

Excellent Wireless Headphones at a Great Price
on June 2, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The JVC S35 Bluetooth headphones are awesome. For such a cheap price for over-the-ear headphones, you really get bang for your buck. They are advertised to last for 17 hours. While I have not tested that limit, I have used them for work calls for 12 hours straight.
They are comfortable, sound great, and again, they are a great price!

Fast Drive, Easy Installation
on May 17, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This was my first experience installing an M.2 SDD, and it was incredibly easy. It look less than 10 minutes to install the drive in my laptop, then it took around 10 minutes to entirely install Windows 10. My laptop is blazing fast, and with such a fast and painless install, how can you go wrong?
I highly recommend this drive!

Easy Setup and Fast Charging, Convenient

from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
This Belkin 10W charging pad is great. It takes just a few seconds to setup, and offers so much convenience. I have mine setup on the entry table in my house, so guests with compatible phones can set their phone on it to charge.
It will work with any Qi compatible device, but offers Fast Charge for compatible phones, meaning they will charge much faster.
A light on the unit lets you know if your phone is charging, which is also nice.

Fun Camera with Some Issues
on May 2, 2019
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
I gave the Canon Ivy Cliq to my daughter last week right before camp, and it was a huge hit. She loved being able to get pictures of her memories, but being able to share them, physically, then and there was awesome, she said. It can even easily print multiple copies of the same picture, which is great for group photos.
The printed pictures, as well as the digital versions look great. Keep in mind that this is a 5 megapixel camera, so it isn't for high end photography, but it is great for catching memores.
It is about the size of a cell phone, so it fits easily in a purse or pocket.
I did have several issues with the camera though: The battery only lasts long enough to take and print 20-30 pictures. Also, you can't take more photos if you are out of paper, even if you have a MicroSD card installed (I believe this needs to be fixed with an update). Do note that the camera can only hold 10 sheets of paper at a time, so you see how this can quickly become a problem.
