Great Bass in a Small PAckage
on June 3, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Sony Sport earbuds are amazing. I thought I would just use them for working out, but they have been great for work calls as well. They do a great job with noise-cancelling, allowing them to be used for important calls in just about any environment.
The only down side to them is the battery life. I really need my headphones/earbuds to last eight hours, so if you need full usage during a full work day, these probably aren't for you.
If, on the other-hand, you are looking for great call quality, great music, and amazing bass for the size, these are the earbuds for you.

Amazing Call Quality!
on May 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Jabra Elite 45e is an amazing set of earbuds. I was initially excited about using them for working out, but they are so comfortable, and the sound quality is so good on calls, I started using them for work.
I primarily work on the phone or using Skype or MS Teams to make calls. These paired eaily with my computer, and they have enough juice to make it through an entire days worth of calls.
Several of the people on calls I have been making have asked if we upgraded our phone system or something, as the call quality is excellent.
Working out, the Elite 45e earbuds perform excellent, staying in place in my ears, and the wire isn't a nuisance like it is with some similar earbuds. Overall, I love these earbuds, and they will remain a valuable part of my office.

A Stylish, Powerful Laptop, Good for Anyone
on May 4, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Asus ROG GU501GM is an amazing laptop, both for gaming, and for school work. It is the ideal computer for a college student who is also a gamer. As a former college student, and a current gamer, I can stongly attest to this.
The Asus ROG has tons of power, from the 8th generation Core i7 processor to the 16 GB of RAM, along with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, I can play the latest games, AND mine cryptocurrency. Everything I've thrown at this machine runs great. On the huge 15.6" screen, games look amazing.
Additionally, it features two hard drives: a Solid-State drive (SSD) for the operating system, and a 1TB drive for data. This setup ensure that the bootup process, as well as starting apps and games, is super fast. Setup and use has been snappy and easy.
However, one of my favorite features, something I can't live without now, is the back-lit keyboard. I did not know how great that would be, especially when I need to write a quick email at night, and don't want to wake up my wife, I can easily type with the back-light.

An Awesome Gaming Rig!
on April 11, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Alienware R7 Aurora is an amazing gaming PC. It handles everything from the newest games to VR with ease. I love this system, and don't plan on needing a new one for quite some time. Especially since the system is expandable to ensure it is future-proof for quite some time.
Coming with 16 GB of RAM (upgradeable to 64 GB), an 8th-gen 6-core i7 proecessor, an NVidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card, and a 2 TB hard drive, you can see that this is certainly a robust system. Now add in that it is liquid cooled, and you will see this syetm is perfect for your gaming needs.
I was surprised to see that this system didn't come with an SSD (Solid State Drive), but come to find out, the Optane Memory allows standard hard drives to behave like SSDs, giving an incredibly fast bootup (under 20 seconds). This also leads to incredibly snappy program startups and navigation.
Another interesting feature is the external lighting on this computer: you can change it up. You can set the light colors on each side of the computer, as well as the power button. You make make them all the same color, have them all be different colors, or have the color change based on system events, like an email notification.
Finally, this system is loaded with USB ports. is has 7 SuperSpeed USB 3.1 ports, and 6 standard USB 2.0 ports, ensuring you'll have plenty of ports, both for fast and slow data-transfer needs.

Awesome Reception, Even in The Country
on April 11, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Mohu Sail Indoor/Outdoor Multi-directional Antenna is amazing. I used it for my parent's cabin, which is 45+ miles outside of the city. They are so happy with the antenna, they have bought at least one for their neighbors.
The setup was quick and easy, and only took about 15 minutes. Once the antenna was in place, I connected it to the TV, told the TV to search for channels, and BOOM: HD TV channels out in the middle-of-nowhere.
This is a great, simple antenna setup that works great, and isn't an eyesore.

Let me first say that in a world where we have increasingly more connected devices, like lightbulbs, smart speakers, refrigerators, etc., it is becoming more and more important to ensure that you protect you network that includes these devices.

An Awesome Outdoor Party Speaker

Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
These speakers are great, especially for outdoor parties by the pool. Due to being wtaerproof, and lasting up to 24 hours, the party can go on, rain or shine.
These speakers also have the ability to be connected to up to 100 similar Sony speakers at once. The more of these speakers you use, the more immersive the sound experience is. With 100 speakers, you could achieve true surround sound. Since they include NFC (Near Field Communication), they are a snap to pair with your phone as well.
It also includes party lights to liven up the scene at your next get-together. This, combined with the ability to tap different parts of the speaker to create DJ-like effects really makes this a true party speaker.

Convenient, Easy to Set Up Home Security
on March 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The SimpliSafe – Protect Home Security System is a versatile home security system, that even the most novice of users can setup quickly and easily. What I love most about the system though, is that you can either pay to have it professionally monitored, OR, you can monitor is yourself from your cell phone. Self-monitoring is all that I need, as I always have my cell phone, and saving the monthly fee is great compared to other alarm systems.
The SimpliSafe – Protect Home Security System comes with 4 door, window, garage door, or other methods of entry sensors, a keypad to arm/disarm the system, a motions sensor, and the base station. You can also buy additional sensors, key fobs, etc. from the company to expand your coverage.
Finally, you can rest easy, as the SimpliSafe – Protect Home Security System has its own battery, meaning that even if there is a major power failure, the system will continue to monitor your property for up to 24 hours.

An Awesome Brushing Experience
on March 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Philips Sonicare – ProtectiveClean 4100 Rechargeable Toothbrush is a great brushing experience. It feels comfortable both in the hand and in the mouth. With its brushing timers (it’s beeps every 30 seconds, and powers off after two minutes), it has already lead to a much better brushing experience for me. It is designed to clean your teeth, whiten them, and clean your gums.
It is great for travel, as you can ensure clean teeth on the road, and a single charge is meant to last about two weeks. It also includes a travel case for your brush head, to help keep it clean and sanitary.
I love this toothbrush, as it feels like I have just left the dentist’s office due to how clean my teeth feel. While I know electric toothbrushes are not for everyone, I would recommend that everyone at least give this toothbrush a try.

A Great, Portable Presentation Projector
on March 22, 2018
Posted by: TechGuru
from Oklahoma City, OK, USA
The Epson EX3260 SVGA 3LCD Project is a great, compact, portable projector. It is perfect if you do a lot of business presentations, as it can be used in just about any venue. Additionally, the auto-adjustment of the picture tends to get things setup right, with no fuss.
The 3300 lumens are more than adequate for making a presentation, even in some of the brightest of conditions. It can quickly connect to a computer, DVD player, or anything else that uses a VGA cable or HDMI cable to connect. It also includes a speaker, so it is really all you need to bring for your presentation.
It is quick and easy to setup, ensuring you are not bumbling before a presentation, and can maintain a professional, well-prepared look.

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.

Can this be used if the phone the main account is tied to is not at home? IE: Could my wife ask it to play music from Google Play if I'm not there? I'm not asking about family accounts but if this will remember my account if my phone isn't around?
Yes, Google Home will work regardless of if the primary account holder is around. Great question!
