Great range and speed
on November 10, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
Setup with the mobile app was fast and easy. The base unit has a small footprint and has a modern look. The extender paired easily as well and the app assisted with the best placement. The WiFi 6 speeds are blazing fast and I have over twenty-five devices connected with no bottlenecks. It would be nice if there were more available ethernet ports, but this will not be an issue for most since virtually all modern internet devices use WiFi. I like that it has one 2.5 mhz and two 5 mhz bands. You can set one of the 5 mhz bands dedicated for streaming or gaming if desired. This will be a router that has the latest technology and will not need replacing for several years.

Liquid ink is the say to go
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
The norm has been to buy cheap printers and either purchase expensive ink cartridges or subscribe to a monthly subscription. Liquid ink now allows purchasing a quality printer that will last for years and benefit from long-lasting, cost-efficient, ink. The printer is straightforward to set up and get connected to WiFi. The screen on the printer is small and is not a touch screen. I suggest doing all the setup from the mobile app. The liquid ink is easy to fill, and there is no mess. You can also easily view ink levels from the front of the unit. Print quality is excellent, and pages print rather quickly. The printer has a small footprint and is relatively quiet when printing. It is a perfect size, quality, and feature selection for home or small offices.

Feature packed in a small light package
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
Based upon all of the features, I was pleasantly surprised by how small these earbuds are. They are charged in the case and initially, I had them fully charged in less than 45 minutes. To connect them all you do is download the app, open the case, remove the earbuds and select them in your Bluetooth settings. It is really neat that the app will allow you to calibrate the sound in real-time while you are wearing them. Noise-canceling can easily be turned off and there is an ambient setting that allows you to better hear sounds around for outdoor activities. You have the option of either using Android Assistant or Alexa as your voice command engine. I like that I can listen to my music and easily switch to a phone call with a very good mic and sound quality. With noise-canceling turned on, I cannot hear any other sounds in the house, such as my kid, other TVs, or our dog. Sleeping is wonderful with these due to the comfort and how well they block all outside noises. As long as you have the case handing, you can always keep them charged and ready to go. Another neat feature is a find option if you happen to misplace one of the units. The app also has an abundance of sound adjustment options from voice to deep base.

Perfect solution for sore muscles
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
Out of the box, you can tell this is a high-quality unit. It is not that big but pretty heavy. This is actually a benefit for a deep massage. It charges rather quickly and the handle has cool lighting confirming that it is charging. I walk, run and bike a lot and frequently have muscle soreness. I like to use it in combination with a heat press and it really loosens up any tightness. The low setting is a relaxing pulsating massage and on high it really provides penetrating vibrations. If you travel a lot there is also an optional carry case that can be purchased. I plan to get it so I can always have this with me on my outdoor adventures.

Sound and voice control work great
on October 26, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
Super easy to set up and connect. The earbuds were already charged to 90% out of the box. The connectors on the earbuds have a protector on them so you will need to remove them in order to charge in the case. Connecting your phone is very easy. Just place the earbuds in the case, leave the case open, verify the earbuds are lit red, open Bluetooth on your phone, and accept the connect requests. The Skull Candy app adds a lot of additional functionality such as voice commands. The app identified the earbuds immediately after downloading and connecting. The app shows the charge level of each individual earbud and allows full control. Voice commands work very well to control volume, pause, and play of music. You even have the option to connect to the Tile app to help locate. The soft plastic wrap-around loop holds them on your ear securely and is super comfortable. The sound quality is excellent and the app even gives an option to amplify external sounds for safety while doing outdoor activities. You also have preset sound options for music, movies, podcast, and custom settings. I can run with them on barely even knowing they are there and not worry about them falling off. The quality is really good and I look forward to using them for a long time to come.

Sleek and powerful device
on October 22, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
First off I was really surprised at how small this device is. Don't let the small size fool you because it is packed with features. Up to an 80-mile range is fantastic in such a small antenna. Mobile LTE filtering is a must these days with so many cellular towers that can interfere with your TV signal.
Initial setup is a breeze. All mounting hardware is included. The power cord is a little short so you will need to mount it near your TV. Just connect to your antenna port on your TV, plug in the power, and the signal indicator will help you determine the best mounting location. It is the size of a small soundbar so it looks neat mounted on your wall.
Performance was as good as the large digital antennae I have mounted on my roof. I was able to pick up close to 40 stations that match my outdoor antennae. All stations come in clear and strong. This is a good thing with newer digital antennas is that you either get a strong signal or no signal at all. Gone are the fuzzy picture days.
It is worth the investment to save a ton on cable or satellite subscriptions over the long term. Pair this up with a recording device/service and you will have all you need for your TV enjoyment.

Nest Cam with floodlight has built-in intelligence that can tell the difference between a person, a vehicle, and an animal. It alerts you when there’s important activity,* and lights up automatically so you can see what’s happening. With 24/7 live view and free event video history, you never miss a thing, day or night. Swap out your existing basic floodlight and use the same wires for power. Nest Cam with floodlight requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.

Very well made and functional
on October 22, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
The quality put into this unit can easily be seen as soon as you open the box. It is well packaged, well-written instructions are available and all accessories needed for the wired setup are included. I am not that 'handyman' inclined but the installation only took me about 25 minutes. I could have it installed in less than 15 minutes but I took my time removing the current floodlight and making sure the connections were secure.
Once you have it installed, all you have to do is connect it to the Google Home application and you are ready to go. Luckily, I already had a Google Home application so it was seamless. I am really impressed with the thoughtfulness put into how easy it is to adjust the floodlights and the camera. The magnetic connections were a great addition. This was the biggest issue I had with my old spotlight and this improves it in every way. The 1080p camera works great. I have some other 4k cameras and to me, they are overkill and do not work well if the network connection becomes weak. I have had no issues with the network connection on this unit. The picture is clear in bright even in low-light conditions. I really like how easily you can dim or brighten the lights from the app.
3 hours of recording is provided free of charge. I plan to upgrade to the Nest Aware subscription to increase this and feel it is well worth for the additional security. A key future of this camera is that it has onboard memory that will continue to record even if it loses the network connection. Recorded data will then be uploaded when the network connection is restored. This is the first camera I have with this feature and it is a great addition.
The retail price falls very reasonably in with comparable units. When you factor in the quality, features, and support functions it is a great value. I plan to replace my additional floodlights and outdoor cameras with this model. Google provides multiple support options if you have questions during the installation or during use.

Easy to install and great child proof lock
on October 14, 2021
Posted by: ScubaSteve
from Orrville, OH
The contents can be intimidating at first because there are so many papers and small parts. Most of the included accessories are optional or extra. The provided guides make it very easy to get lined up and secured with the two-side tape. You have the option to use screws, but the tape will be fine for most installs. The app is easy to use. All you have to do is create an account and connect the device via Bluetooth. Once you open the app, just click open and you can set it to automatically lock once you close or it can be done manually. It will work well to protect medicine cabinets or your adult beverage collection from small children, but don't expect to protect anything too valuable. It can be pried open with enough force.

This software is easy to install and configuration settings are set to go for most upon install. The interface is clean and each software module has it's settings in clean drop down menus. Scans are quick even for full scans on large hard drives. Updates can be set for automatic as frequently as every hour. What really sets BullGuard apart is what a great job it does on maximizing gaming performance. Not only does it stop notifications while playing, but it also combines all other running processes on one CPU core so the rest are free for maximum performance. I am running it on a high-end gaming desktop with a ten core processor. All my games run better and I never get annoying notifications that knock my HDR out of whack while playing a game. I feel confident it is keeping my computer secure and my games performing at their highest level.

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.
