The Bose - Soundbar 500 with Amazon Alexa Voice Control was linked with the Soundbar 500 Bass unit. The system was installed in a larger than recommended space. The audio was stronger, brighter and cleaner than the alternatives. Low height and profile make for both visual and aural pleasure. Great work Bose!

2 in 1 and lots of fun - and capable too!
on November 21, 2018
Posted by: jhancock

Very speedy, great design structurally and ergonomically, crisp, fast, accurate display, nice keyboard, super battery life, light weight, low heat generation and with Windows 10 easy to use. Great sound is provided by Bang & Olufsen audio accompanied by low fan noise. It comes with a very nice, protective slip case (with stylus holder – a nice touch) and an HP two button stylus that I find ergonomically pleasing. For someone that travels a lot and has a reason to use both a tablet and a laptop this 2 in 1 is a very capable alternative to lugging both a laptop and a tablet around. The Intel graphics provide entry level gaming or video editing capabilities. This looks and feels like a quality computer and while very handsome it is not ostentatious.

The Delonghi 5-in-1 grill uses very slick and versatile ceramic-coated grill plates. It can be used as a contact grill, panini press or full grill when preparing a diverse range of grillable foods. It heats faster and gets hotter than my old grill. The grease drain containers are very functional. The grill is easy to use and to clean after use. I really like the ceramic grill plates and compact external dimensions. It looks great on my counter top. The construction looks, feels and seems almost indestructible.

Very fast optical response times!

The Omen Reactor mouse looks awesome, has a height-adjustable body to accommodate different hand sizes and provides great user ergonomics. It is visually appealing and is a great accompaniment to the Omen Sequencer keyboard. The thumb rest worked great for me. It has an aluminum armor clad USB cable that looks and feels indestructible and also has the same type of optical-mechanical switches as the Sequencer keyboard. Attention to detail is great.

Speed of Light Keyboard Perfect for Gaming
on October 28, 2018
Posted by: jhancock

The Omen Sequencer keyboard is truly well-constructed and designed for extensive use. In my opinion the Omen Sequencer keyboard has the nicest volume slider I have ever used. It is an optical-mechanical keyboard with individual switches like a mechanical keyboard and each key has its own optical laser that resets (0.2ms) as soon as you press it down. This is very fast by any standard. It has a great feel to it, and is solid and reliable. It is heavy and stays in place. It uses RGB color customization, has a phenomenal audio volume slider on the upper right and well positioned macro buttons on the left. Attention to detail is great.

Great aerial video platform!
on October 21, 2018
Posted by: jhancock

This is my third drone and by far the best I have owned. The EVO weighs not quite (2 pounds) and includes a carrying case along with a 32 GB microSD card. The microSD card is protected by a hatch cover on the right side of the aircraft and is easy to get to. The EVO is very solid and well-made. Setup is simple.
If you live in the US I encourage you to use the smartphone app B4UFLY for rules and restrictions in the airspace.
The charger can charge both the drone and the controller batteries simultaneously. Flight Performance is good and helps in the video capture side of things. My battery life has been between 20-30 minutes. My radio range is about one mile in the city – needs to stay within eyesight based on current regulations. I really like the Anti-Collision System. Several warnings appear on the video feed as it approaches an obstacle and past a certain point it will refuse to move forward if you are on collision course. The image quality is quite good. The camera has a reasonable dynamic range and low-light sensitivity. If needed there are neutral density filters that can be purchased. The design of the controller is similar to many drone and video game controllers with a very nice feature - the controller can display the video without the need of a smartphone thereby reducing potential problems.

Hear the world on your terms by controlling the sound around you. Innovative technologies in Bose Hearphones amplify softer sounds, let you turn down the distractions in noisy environments and focus on what you want to hear.
Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.
They are connectable to Bluetooth players like the iPhone and provide great audio with low noise. Yes - similar to their other around the neck earbuds.

The major difference between the two series appears to be the number of functions, with the Designer Series having the most settings. Blendtec also has a series of pro blenders. You can do a search for Blendtec/commercial. They both seem to be very rugged.

The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens on this Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II digital camera features a 3.6x optical zoom to help you bring subjects into focus for detailed photos and videos. Optical SteadyShot stabilization enables clear image capture.Memory card sold separately.
Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
