Great Gaming PC especially at 1440
on April 13, 2024
Posted by: masc360
I tested several games on this PC and the performance was amazing. I would not necessarily recommend this pc if you wanted to mainly play in 4K and expect high frame rates.
Now at 1440P or 1080p you’re going to be getting great frame rates and be able to keep all the details high. With Nvidia frame generation tech on games that support it like Diablo 4 I was getting and avg of 140fps on 1440p with settings on high. Which made for an incredibly smooth experience.
Destiny 2 I was able to bump up to 4k leave on high and still avg 60fps to keep the game feeling smooth and looking great.
Starfield also did well even if the game is not optimized the specs on this pc are good enough to give you a great experience.
Overall I cannot say enough about this PC and how great it plays. My son was having a great time playing Planet Coaster with not log or issues as that game can be pretty demanding when your park is full of guests.
If you really want to dive in the pc gaming space this is the PC to get.
Incredibly easy to set up and I ceso my easy to get it going.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Good with a couple of big Flaws
on March 4, 2024
Posted by: masc360
Let me start with this the build quality on this laptop is amazing. It’s thin, it’s light, it’s quiet and has great performance. It has an amazing looking screen. In most cases I would say this is the perfect laptop but it has a couple of flaws that really drag it down.
Let me start with the negatives and we will end on the positives.
The first is the speakers, and let me say they are not good if you are in a quiet environment they are not bad but if you start some games and the fans kick on it can be hard to hear, and the kicker is the fans never get too loud unless your really trying to max out the laptop.
The next issue I had is the screen reflectivity it’s not great, it can be hard to see if you have a light source in front of the screen. I have trouble using it in my kitchen because the sunlight causes massive glares. The screen gets decently bright and in darker environments it looks great. But it can be hard to use in very bright areas.
The last issue is the battery life and yes I know this is a gaming pc, and that is true but that is where the small size of the laptop I think affects this one over a bigger one. They have to cram so much and think about the thermals that it ends up with a smaller battery where you do feel how fast it drains.
Doing work related tasks or just watching media I was able to get about 5 hours of battery life.
Now let’s go on to the positives, the size and portability is awesome it’s a big enough screen that you can comfortably work or watch but small enough to fit in a backpack, it’s also pretty light so you don’t feel like your carrying a brick around.
The screen is amazing the colors and picture quality looks great. I ditched my tablet to start watching movies on here because it looks so good.
And the last thing is performance this thing is powerful for how small and compact it is. Very game I tested played great, it’s not a very loud laptop also which is great.
If you are someone that tends to just use your laptop at home and it’s somewhat dark in your house this is definitely the laptop I would recommend.

So Fresh And So Clean!!!
on February 18, 2024
Posted by: masc360
Wow… just wow I am so impressed with this shark air purifier. Let me start at the beginning I live in a city that tends to have a lot of dust and allergens so having purifiers in our house is a must. We have tried all of the brands and this was our first Shark purifier I have use their other products and like them but what drew my attention was it comes with a little pod to add some scent to the room. Which I was intrigued by because my son’s share a room
And with a teenager well you know how their room can smell. Even before using the pod the purifier was able to help the room smell clean and fresh the scent pod took it to another level.
It’s pretty sensitive as it will go up when we are cooking food which is nice as the food smell doesn’t linger in their room for long.
I’m very impressed and the best part it takes you maybe a couple of minutes to set up and then your off making you house smell fresh and clean.
I couldn’t recommend this purifier more.
If you’re in the market for one definitely get it. It’s very quiet and works great!

Great for school or work
on February 7, 2024
Posted by: masc360
At this point there are a couple of a things a printer must do, and that is print from a computer and print from a phone/tablet. So it is great to see that HP has been doing such a good job with these features.
I was switching over from a different older hp printer and setting up and getting this new one going was easy and quick.
Took me about 15 minutes total to unpack setup and get it setup on network and installed on my pc.
I was able to print som documents on my phone with no issues and while I’m not always a fan of the hp print app. I had no issues with it and was able to get up and going right away.
My favorite part of the printer is that it has such a small footprint, my other printer was such a big monster it took up so much space on my desk so it is very nice having some of that space back.
Printer is relatively quiet and works quickly.
I was able to print a large number of work documents from my pc rather quickly.
Overall this is an incredibly solid printer if you are looking for a no frill but solid printer.
It will get done what you need to print and sometimes that’s all you need.

Great for PS5
on January 12, 2024
Posted by: masc360
The newest generation of consoles are awesome but with the bigger push to digital hard drive space is a big issues. I have one of the newer ps5 that offer a 1tb hard with the system which is only about 800gb actually available. I have Destiny 2 and call of duty installed and those games take almost 300gb of data by themselves. Add a couple more modern games and boom you are out of space. This nvme drive boosted my space tremendously, my kids use the ps5 so having all that extra space to have their favorite games and mine was well worth it.
The drive is incredibly easy to install, all in all took me about 10 minutes to install and format it, after that I was off to the races.
If you need more space for your games and I think everyone definitely does as games are getting bigger and bigger a drive like this is an essential accessory.
It is incredibly easy to install and the speed and was of use with the ps5 makes it easy even for someone that has never installed a drive to do.
If you have a ps5 I highly recommend getting this drive.

Solid fun to use go pro
on December 2, 2023
Posted by: masc360
I had been looking for a camera for me to use on family trips and my son to be able to use also. I was looking at some bigger cameras but to GoPros always piqued my interest. So I finally caved and picked this one up as we had a family trip coming up and wanted to try it out.
One of the best things about GoPros is their ease of use just hit the button and your off. So as we started to get ready to leave our trip I decided I’ll give each of my kids some time with the camera filming whatever they wanted and we could later stitch it together as a family film. My kids had a blast filming. When we got to my parents house my oldest son was excited to try the headband so he could film himself and his brother playing in the backyard on bikes or on the playground whatever they could do to get cool footage.
We used the camera as we visited family and after the trip we uploaded it on my computer and took a look at it. The footage looked so good the quality is great and the stabilization is amazing as my kids ran around with it the video always came out clear.
These cameras are amazing and great as they can be used for so many things we can’t wait to use it on our next trip to Disneyland, and I couldn’t recommend it anymore

Amazing Drone with great picture and video
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: masc360
DJI has to be the top of the drone list, I have used several of their drones at this point and it is safe to say that they do not disappoint. This drone is know exception, now I know I am not the most savvy when it comes to drones but I have used them enough times know to know my way around them. Setup is a breeze, though doing all of the registration and setting up is a bit of an ask for first time users once you done it once you done it forever type of thing. Charged it up and got it running.
Operation was smooth and the remote worked great it was awesome to see everything on screen in real time in great quality, it’s awesome seeing all the data of the area around you on screen, we went and took the drone over to my friends house but he lives close enough to an airport that it gave us a warning on restrictions for that area.
The drone is really well made it’s solid and works great I could not be happier with it and super excited to take this on my next trip to get some shots for our video. Couldn’t recommend it any more

Don’t just raise the standard. Reshape it. The versatile HP Spectre Fold crushes the status quo thanks to its innovative design capable of multiple forms, functions, and uses that go beyond anything you’ve ever seen from a laptop. It's the world’s first 17-inch foldable PC with a wireless charging keyboard and pen. Give your powerful 12.3" diagonal laptop more screen space instantly just by quickly sliding the magnetic, auto-pair keyboard out. Detach the keyboard completely and flatten the screen to change it to an ultra-thin desktop with built-in kickstand one minute, to a 17" diagonal tablet.

An Excellent Glimpse of the Future
on October 4, 2023
Posted by: masc360
I will have to admit at first I was not really sold on foldables, I mean they do look cool but I just felt there are so many concessions when using them that it was not worth it. I still feel this way even after using this HP Foldable laptop but I am also excited for the future.
This is a beautiful device the design is very premium feeling a looks really good the screen looks amazing when watching content or doing work, when you have anything besides a solid black screen you do not see the crease when looking straight on you do see it if you at an angle, I actually prefer to use it more like a desktop pc than a laptop, it’s. When I’m laptop mode it’s a little too small for my liking.
The angle which it sits in desktop mode is a bit too much for me, it’s usable but I wish you could adjust the angle to suit your needs a bit better.
Overall there is a lot to love with this laptop it works well looks great the foldable screen is awesome to go from laptop mode to desktop. It makes me excited for the first time for what the future holds for foldables this is an amazing first step.
If your someone that uses a laptop on the go and a desktop at home then this might definitely be for you as it is perfect for this. If your exclusively a laptop user this might not be what I would recommend but it’s amazing looking screen is hard not to recommend.
This is a solid computer with the awesome utility of being able to be 3 devices at once.
I wasn’t to keen using it as a tablet and it was more than useful using as a laptop or desktop I never felt the need to use it laptop, the included styles is very responsive and comfortable to hold. Overall this a do it package of a computer that I would recommend everyday if the week.

Ultimate Headphones For Travel
on September 25, 2023
Posted by: masc360
Sound is very subject, the way a company tunes their speaker changes the way it sounds very dramatically and everyone has a preference on what they like, and these Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones are no different. Their sound profile is definitely geared towards a main stream a bit higher bass and the mids and treble a bit recessed, its a great sound its a profile that can let you listen to several hours without feeling ear fatigue, and it is incredibly easy to listen for hours with a 27 hour battery life and incredibly comfortable and light headphones.
These are the ultimate travel headphones, they have top notch ANC they are really light and they sound great.
They feel fantastic when you put them on barely any weight and the materials are so lush and soft you almost don’t even feel them.
Surprisingly these headphones take changing the custom eq pretty well.
There is so much to like about these headphones everywhere I go there go in my bag, I love using them at work at the end of my day when I have to just go through paperwork and fill out documents I put them on throw on some music and get through my work with this wonderful sounds.
Highly recommended

Speedy!!

You need more storage for you ROG Ally where here you go. It’s amazing that with a device this small you can add so much more extra space to your device. I’m not a very technical PC person I knkw my way around them but installing or removing part I get very nervous so I always ask someone to do it for me: I decided this time I would do it myself. I was very surprised how easy it was to do it just remove some screws disconnect and take out the battery and there you have access to swap the card. Then put it all back and boot up the system after that clicked a couple of things and I was off to the races it was nice having all the extra space and I never felt like the new card was slower in my case I felt like things loaded faster. Extremely easy to use and install. If your in the market for an nvme to expand your handheld pc this is definitely the one to get works great and easy to use. Now I can go back to adding games to my system and not have to worry about juggling which games I have installed.

Will these work with PS4/ps5 and what's the driver size?

They will work on PS5 but the volume wheel does not work to control the volume you have to use PS5's digital control to change it.

I believe they have 50mm drivers

Experience stunning Ultra HD content with this LG Blu-ray player with multi-HDR compatibility lets you enjoy the full image quality and features of an HDR TV.

I am interested in the new LG UP970 4K Blu-ray player. the limited info out now indicates it has two HDMI ports out. one is 2.0 and the other is 1.4. my question has to do with the slower one. is this full spectrum, both audio and video?

The First Port Is For Video and Audio and the Second Port IS for Audio only as I understand. The Point of the feature is so you can connect your 4K tv to get all of the features and benefits of 4K UHD but if you have a receiver that cannot pass that through you can still send Audio to your receiver.
