All the latest WiFi features
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This little router packs all of the features that cost hundreds of dollars more just a year ago. First of all, the looks of this unit are amazing. Having wings that fold like an x-wing fighter make a great first impression. It looks well placed anywhere in your house and the signal range is very good. It has all the features of a basic router using the 2.4 and 5 mhz channels, with the addition of the newest 6 mhz channel. Most people will not get to benefit from the new feature at this time since there are very few devices that worj on the 6 mhz channel currently. However, you will be future proofed as newer devices come onto the market. You have the ability to setup one SSID channel and it will automatically load balance your devices to the best suited channel. Netgear does a great job of providing the latest internet security with the option of using WPA3 and providing a year subscription to their Net Guard service. It runs security through Bitdefender and has an unlimited license to use on all of your devices. Parental controls is not super robust, but it has all of the basics to protect your kids online. For the mid-level price you will be taking advantage of top of the line features.

Compact, multi-use projector
on October 24, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This little projector packs a lot of features into a small package. It is just the right size for home use and still small enough to pack up and take with you. Setup is very straight forward and easy. Just plug into a power source, connect your computer or streaming device to the HD port and you are ready to go. All of the ports are located on the side which is a little odd and wish I they were hidden away in the back. However, this makes it easy to get everything connected. Focusing is easy the image is bright and crisp. It does not have adjustable feet so you may have to use a book or something for vertical adjustments. The 1080P works as good as expected. It is great for business presentations and watching videos. I would suggest getting a 4K projector if you plan to game, but this can be used fairly well with that also if you wish. It does not get as hot when operated as I many projectors I have used get after being on for a while. It has an automatic shutoff feature if has not been operated in a while. For being a good all around device, it fits the bill well.

Responsive and cool colors
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
The keyboard is considered a mini keyboard but it has all the features of a full size keyboard. Once you download the software, you have an infinite color variety. The ability of each key to display two colors is the first of it's kind. The keys setup high and are crisp and very responsive. The USB cable is plenty long enough and yet it is easily managed with the cord clasp. I have tried it with a PC and it worked very well. It also paired easily with my Xbox series X and makes game chat so much easier. It is the perfect size to sit in my lap and compliment my gaming controller. You can also add a mouse and use a keyboard and mouse combo with your xBox as well. It is a little weighty for it's size, but not too heavy. This gives it the perfect weight balance and makes it feel sturdy and very well made. There is no hand rest, but these can be easily added as needed. The movement keys you use the most are easy to access. It also the perfect size if you travel and want a compliment for your laptop computer.

Cool lighting and Very Response
on September 2, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This keyboard really well made and the white color complements the key colors very well. It comes with two different USB adapters that allow you to take advantage of more advanced features if your PC supports it. I just used the regular USB adapter and it is working very well. It works right of the box and you can download the optional software to have full control over the lighting. There is large amount of light colors and color schemes to select. For gamers, there is a unique feature that the software provides in that searches for preset gaming configurations for any installed software. The software recognized all the games I had loaded on my computer and gave the option to select a customized setup for each. All the keys are very responsive and the weight and feel is just right for extended gaming sessions. The USB cable is plenty long enough and the extra can be managed by the included rubber cable tie. The cloud shaped hand rest is an added addition and very comfortable to use. This keyboard will give you an advantage in gaming the cool lighting will set the mode.

Versatile and Easy to Use
on September 2, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This vacuum both doubles as a lightweight unit for cleaning floors and a convenient handvac that has a unique design. Out of the both the pieces snap together easily with no tools. The charging pad is easy to use in that all you do is set the vacuum on it and slide the connector into place. It can be a little tricky to get it lined up at first, but is easy once you get the hand of it. It only takes about an hour to charge and there are three LED lights on the front that let you know the charge status. The handle is unique and easy to hold. There is no trigger to hold in like similar stick vacuums. Once you press the power button it remains on until you press it again. I was surprised that I could almost vacuum my entire house from the basement to all four bedrooms on one charge. It doesn't have the suction of a full size vacuum, but this works well for me when cleaning rugs throughout the house so it doesn't get clogged trying to completely suck it up. It comes with two handy attachments for using in the handvac configuration. The dust container is rather small, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much it holds. The dusk pan is easy to open, however you must remove the handvac handle from the vacuum attachment first. I wasn't sure if I would like this initially but it is easy to remove. All attachments come off easily by just pulling on on levers on either side of the handle. This is a great vacuum for quick cleanings, rugs, stairs and any other jobs that require a handvac.

Very comfortable for long gaming sessions
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
These headphones look to have the expected Sony quality right out of the box. I was surprised that they included two 3.5mm adapters and this is welcome feature for the quality it provides. The sound quality works great in first person shooter games where hearing the enemy first gives the advantage. There are other headphones with better quality sound, but not at this price point. the INZONE software gives you control to tailor the sound to your like. Another huge benefit is the lightweight and comfort of the ear cuffs. They stay cool, and breathable, during long gaming sessions. They have the slight flexibility to form perfectly to your ears. They are not noise cancelling, but shield outside noise very well. The mic works well and easily muted by sliding to the up position. The length is just right to pic up your voice well and not get in the way too much. They are not the fanciest headphones but the curved design looks cool and the white color looks great. The cord length of 10 ft is plenty long enough and my biggest challenge is keeping all the extra hidden. I prefer having to manage the extra cord than not have enough for all the locations I will be using.

Powerful and low noise
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This unit comes with simple and easy to use installation instructions. All needed tools are also included, with the exception of some basic electrical items such as tape (splicers if needed), etc.. It took more time to remove my old disposal than it did not install this new one. This one mounted and easily and I had it up and running in a little over an hour. The biggest benefit I noticed right off was how much less noise it makes when grinding up food. You can actually use and still hear the TV from the kitchen. A feature that I like the best is the built in magnets that will help keep utensils from failing into the unit while in use. I tested this feature before plugging up and it works! This will save from damaging your items and the grinding blades as well. Frigidaire is a respected appliance name and you should not need another disposal for a long time with the 10 year warranty. If you currently do not have a disposal installed, I highly recommend hiring a professional plumber to get it connected properly.

Good sound and OK mic
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
These headphones are just the right size for my nine year old son. He is an avid xBox gamer and plays multiplayer socially interactive games on a regular basis. He has only been using headphones tethered directly to his xBox remote. The bluetooth option is a really good addition and he likes not having the cord in the way. The battery life is great and he can use it tethered if the battery does die unexpectedly. The one drawback is the mic does not work very well and those he is playing with have a hard time hearing him at times. I guess this is Ok for the price and the ability to protect the volume level from getting too high is a Ok trade-off. This is his preferred headphones for listening to games only and he uses another when playing multiplayer. I recommend for younger kids who do not play that much social games. However, for older kids I would recommend another option. It seems really made and comes with a handy carry pouch. We will continue to use for some time and it fits the best of any headphones he uses.

Easy setup and works as advertised
on July 19, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
The watch comes well packaged with detailed setup documentation. It charges slow compared to the smartwatches I use, but the battery makes it through the day with no problem with my son wearing from the time he gets up until bedtime. The charger snaps onto the back without having to snap in to connector port. If you need to reach to Customer Service they are very responsive and helpful. I had no issues activating the included SIM card and you can pick from monthly, semi-annual or annual plans with no long-term commitment. The cover to get the SIM on the back of the phone can be a little tricky to get off, but is not big issue since you will probably only need to access once. The SIM card can be a little difficult on how to push into the SIM card cover properly, but once you figure it out it snaps back in fine. The power button is is the only physical button and is concealed well on the back, yet easily accessible. Using is very easy and the screen times out after a few seconds and will need to be double tapped to wake. My son is 9 years old and was able to start texting, calling and snapping pictures shortly after using. I only added five numbers approved to send and receive calls and it works because he received an unknown text that was blocked. You can setup geo safe zones to know when they arrive or leave. The watch also lets you know when the watch is put on, taking off and reminders can be set to charge. I like having the assurance that I know where my child is at all times and they can reach me and I can reach them anytime. Cellular service out of the box is through AT&T and I have had no issues. The watch is rather big but it looks cool on my son's wrist. The band secures the watch well but is a little difficult to get on a small wrist. This may get easier once my son learns how to put on themselves. If you are looking for an easy to use device for young children, this is a great option.

Cool looking with great sound
on July 19, 2022
Posted by: ScubaSteve
This speaker has a different look to it and it makes a huge difference in the sound. This feature is called line-shape diffuser and it compresses the sound through a narrow opening in the front that surprisingly gives it a wider field of sound. Unlike a traditional speaker where the sweat spot of sound is in the very front, line-shape diffuser allows the sound to be as powerful to each side. The bass is great and can be adjusted through the mobile application. The mobile application is actually very useful and allows control over the sound profile or you can use the preset. The application also allows connection to your music library and you can configure favorites. A single speaker sounds great or you can get creative and combine up to 99 additional speakers for an extreme surround sound setup. I plan to buy at least one extra to take advantage of the stereo connection feature. Charge time was quick at the box and the battery life has been excellent using for outdoor cookouts. It is dust and water resistant so you use outside without having to be so delicate with it's use. Sony has took a portable speaker to the next level with this technology and and the look and output will not disappoint.

Enhance your multimedia experience with this 15.6-inch Dell G7 gaming laptop. Its VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics board provides seamless, stunning images on the Full HD display, and its hexa-core Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM handle extended multitasking. Run applications efficiently with the 256B solid-state drive of this Dell G7 gaming laptop.
 

Will the Windows Hp Mixed Reality be compatiable with this laptop? If so, would games such as “Beat Saber” run at a decent frame rate? Thank you very much

Mixed Reality should run OK on this laptop, however I suggest at least 16 GBs of RAM to run smoothly with all VR applications.

Conquer virtual enemies with this Dell Inspiron desktop. It has an AMD Radeon graphics card with 8GB of dedicated video memory for fast image rendering, and its powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM run multiple programs, games and browsers simultaneously. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 1TB hard drive for plenty of long-term game storage.
 

What is the power supply for this pc

My build only has a 375 watt power supply, which I was rather disappointed in considering it is branded as a gaming PC.
