Light Gaming Laptop for on the Go
on November 8, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
For a small form factor, light laptop it makes an acceptable gaming/workstation machine for those on the go. Just the right size and weight to throw into a bag and carry it without noticing, it also looks good in white and has enough power to be a decent on the go machine.
The feel and keyboard are great. Feels solid and compact. Typing on the keyboard and keys is good and even when running didn't seem to get too hot the desk for gaming.Running 3DMark Timespy I got acceptable results for the device, scoring 8749 on Regular Timespy.
Loading Forza Horizon 5 on the laptop and playing it was vibrate and fun and had no issues for a decent play session.
My only real complaint is the board has 8GB of DDR5 RAM Soldered onto it, meaning you can only swap one DIMM out. Wish both were exposed and instead of a Realtek Wireless Nic they used Intel, but still this is a capable machine with a good CPU and nice preem look.
It has decent I/O connections on it that where well placed and overall the package was good.
Only downside is Windows 11, but that isn't ASUS Fault that is Microsoft's.
Overall if you are looking for a decent light cool looking laptop for gaming on the go check this one out.

Overall a nice Webcam for Office work
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
The Logitech Brio is a nice camera that works well for conference calls with some nice to have features. I appreciate the large and easy to use privacy shield on the camera and the lights on it to let me know when the PC is using the camera, as well as nice base that keeps the camera in place with a magnet and tilts to allow me to show my work surface or change angle nicely. However I can't give it five stars because the USB-C cable on the camera is fixed to the device. I would prefer a removal cable as if you plan to use this as a travel camera the cable could get damaged, as well as making this e-waste if the the cable gets damaged. Additionally the cable is USB-C only so the PC/MAC you are attaching to needs to have a USB-C port you you have to provide your own USB-C to USB-A connector. So if you have an older PC/MAC without the newer USB-C connector port make sure you get an adapter with this to use the camera.
Now the field of view on the camera is great, at 90 degrees, as long as your in front of it, you'll be in view and the software does a decent job of framing the person talking. Additionally the microphone on the camera was good enough for me to run a few conference calls with work without anyone noticing/objecting complaining about being able to hear me, so that is a win.
Overall this is a nice camera with decent color balancing in a bright room and a fantastic FOV and just right for Office use.

Finally Pixel RGB Fun!
on November 1, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
This is a fantastic way to do RGB room accent lights. Instead of the usual shapes that allow you to just change the color with basic RGB flows, this allows you to create Pixel Squares for moving patterns and GIFs giving you a much wider range of things to display.
Each square is an eight by eight grid of RGB pixels to draw. You can setup the squares in various patterns, such as a large square canvas, straight line or something else. Once you figure out how to place the lights and mount them to the wall (they do include a template which makes hanging easy) you are ready to setup in the app. Have to say it was a seamless experience finding the light panel with my phone and getting it setup on my local WI-fi network. Once that is done the app asks you to scan the setup with your Phones camera so it can understand how you placed the panels and knows how to display each pixel. Once that is done (very easy) your off to the races, you can create your own, use some pre-created ones or import pixel GIFS to display and because of this flexibility you can have a lot of fun with this. The lights can also very bright which is nice, though you can control the overall brightness of the lights. You can expand the kits with additional squares to give yourself a large canvas for larger drawings or more.
Overall for RGB accent lights this is finally something that makes sense since you can actually draw with them and display art to just watch the pretty lights. I can't be happier with this kit as it was easy to put together and setup and can't wait to see what else they come up with.

Nice way to Heat your muscles
on October 25, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
This is a nice way to to get a heated pad that will also soothe your muscles and can be placed where you need to put it and have it stay while you get some heat and soothing vibrations.
After you charge it it was easy to pair, though I am starting to get a bit annoyed with everything getting an app on my phone. I understand its nice to control and everything with out having reach behind you but having another app is just starting to get to be a chore every time you get a device.

That said setup and use is easy. You take one of the reusable pads and place it on your body where you need the heat and vibration. They claim the pads can be used for about 20 uses and while I haven't gotten to that 20 I've gotten about 8 uses so far from my pad and still going strong.
The pads are a neat way to use magnets to clamp on, and just need to make sure you have the pads to get the relief. You will need help for a few places on your back and the pads aren't horrible to use and work well. Its a small enough unit that it can fit in the bag to go on the go and travel to get relief.
I like it.

I love this Wireless Mouse
on October 11, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
Great Wireless Mouse, the fact the charging station comes on a long cable with a place to put the wireless transmitter is just perfect, it means I can keep the transmitter close to the mouse when in use and don't have to worry about blocking a USB in the front of my case or run a cable with the dongle from the back, I can just plug in the total docking station and then rest the mouse on it for charging when I'm done using my PC, it means my mouse is always charged and I don't worry about it running out of charge, this is a great idea that solves really the most annoying part of wireless mice for me having to find a place for dongle and then remembering to plug it in after I finish gaming/using my PC.
From a gaming aspect out of the box no fancy setup needed. Windows picks up the mouse it lights and ready to go. Only complaint is the center mouse button to click has a bit more travel and can be hard to click down because you also click left and right with it, but overall I'm impressed and love it.

The software from Roccat to adjust the mouse is fine and I didn't notice any issues when setting up the RGB or adjusting the buttons on the mouse for myself, but it really only needed for those thing, otherwise I never open it.
For someone looking for a good mouse for gaming that is easy to keep charged and looks great with RGB this one is the one for you.

Nice Package and good Headphones
on September 15, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
Setup
I like the base stand for these headphones because it has a slot where you can put in the Wireless receiver on the stand and charger and then plug that into your PC. If you don't want to do that the USB Dongle for wireless connects just fine directly. But I like the setup has everything in one tidy package. After that you just plug the headphones into your PC turn them on and go. Since the headstand that holds them is the charger to, its easy to keep them charged and out of the way when not in use.
Using the headphones is easy. Connected to PC, nothing to download and was able to use them to game right away without issues.The sound was good and had no issues in Halo hearing my teammates or the game while using them. Microphone included does a decent job that no was complaining they couldn't hear me clearly. The buttons to adjust game to voice balance and overall volume are well positioned to not get confused which is which. I did find the mute button a bit small, but flipping up the Mic worked just as well and for me is my preferred method anyway. They are very lightweight and I didn't feel them weigh on me for long gaming sessions and even with my glasses didn't make me feel uncomfortable in the least.
These are a great pair of wireless headphones if you need something for gaming or light streaming and I highly recommend them.

Setup is easy, charge it up and then plug in the Wireless Dongle and off you go which is a great win for sure.
This a light and small mouse, something around 3oz and I have large hands it is a bit on the smaller side for me, however having this as my mouse for my gaming laptop when I travel is great. It also has Bluetooth connectivity as well in case you don't have the dongle handy which is a plus. I found though using then included dongle to be better using the mouse, but Bluetooth is still very usable. Logitech claims about 40 on wireless and that seems to be able my experience so far with the mouse. Though I do have the wireless receiver plugging on the same side as I have the mouse meaning it has good line of sight to it, which may help.
If you want to control all the RGB and tune the mouse you'll need to download the Logitech G Hub software. It was annoying it attempting to connect into Discord during the setup. I would rather the application request these things rather then do. You can save a profile of setting to the device if you want or turn off the lights for more battery. Overall the software isn't bad but this mouse doesn't really need much to function. Overall I love this mouse, its light and while it would be nice if it was a bit bigger, its big enough for use on the road with my laptop. Overall I'm happy with it.
Out of the box you don't

Best Office Destressor I've ever Had
on September 1, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
This a really good and silent way to deal with work stress on your desk and well worth it to allow your mind to reset and be able to drift for your health.
Setting up this table was very easy. The Packaging was well labelled to make unpacking it easy and the bluetooth pairing with my phone was very easy and on point.
Using the application to control the colours and pattern was awesome and to just watch it draw it was very nice. The fact that it is fairly silent doing it is a bonus as it isn't a distraction at work with it either.
I enjoy the thought that went into the app and allows for expansion of patterns which is a great thing.
Its just a wonder to watch it draw and changing the colors based on your mood is a fantastic option that really helps this go up a notch.

While this is on the pricey side the fact that I have something now in my office that I can use to help reduce the daily work stress is well it worth it for me, and picking different patterns and colors has been great to make each day a bit on the different side.
I can't recommend this enough if you need something different to help you relax.

Another great Sony product
on August 16, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
These are a really nice pair of wireless gaming headphones. Light and comfy you can wear all day with fantastic sound and a good range too, allowing em to get up and walk around and still hear everything.
The sound stage is really good on these, the clarity and tone is great I am impressed beyond words the how good these wireless headphones sound. Been noticing a lot more clarity and not muddied sounds when playing games or watching streams which has been great.
Setup on the PC was easy, though I found the InZone app (which is really needed) didn't like the fact I was using Voice Meter Potato to control my audio and fought it all the way causing stutters in the audio so I uninstalled it. However if you have a standard sound setup then give the app a try it had some nice features that you could take advantage of.
I do wish the Mic was removable since I don't use the Mic on the headset, since I have Hyper-X one already by my PC and don't find it something I would need, but it doesn't get in the way and up is muted so that is a win.
You though connect this also through Bluetooth, so if you wanted to run a Voice Call with friends on your phone while you game you can definitely do it, but I do recommend using the dongle for gaming since I couldn't really detect any latency in my use of the product.
The battery life is great. Sony claims 40 hours on a full charge and while I've had them for a week, I still haven't charged them. Don't think I got to 40 hours, but they also have a 10 minute rapid charge to give you another sixty minutes if you need it.
Overall I think Sony did a great job with these. They work out of the box without issue, sound great, feel great and even though they don't have Active Noise Cancelling (which would lower the battery) they block out sound really well as it is. You can't go wrong with these if you need something wireless.

Good entry level Headphones for gaming
on August 16, 2022
Posted by: OmieOne
Overall this is a great pair of simple to use headphones. These are the old school connect to the PC via a headphone Jack or USB DAC to provide sound, so you just plug them in and use.
Overall these feel super comfy to my head and wearing them with glasses didn't pose a problem. The weight of the headphones don't weigh you down either which is a nice change and you can use it. The faux leather on the headphones can get a bit sweaty in a hotter room for longer sessions, but that is normal for that material.
The Mic is attached and auto-mutes when flipped up which is good and the sound carried fine for my gaming with friends over our discord channel and they didn't complain about my audio, my Aim, different story.
Sound is good with these and even though a single plug for Headphone and Mic, they do include a splitter if needed for your setup. Overall I found the sound fine for gaming/chatting/watching content. Are these amazing 5.1 surround, no, but they give me the clear sound I wanted.
Cord has a decent length to it so that is good and overall I find these a nice set of headphones for use with no complaints and nothing wasted on RGB. Also since these plug right into the PC via a Headphone Jack, never run out of power either.

Does the OS come installed on the HDD? If so do we get a product key so that we can switch it to the SSD? And last, but not least, can I system reset the computer and reinstall the OS from scratch??? Thank you.
OS is installed on the SSD not the HDD. But you could change it I guess. However if you are planning on swapping the SSD to something larger, not this the SSD in this PC is M.2 SATA SSD and not the 2.5" Inch form factor.
As long you use the same Microsoft Account the OS Key will transfer based on the Microsoft account, no need to renter a key.

It comes with an USB Micro Cable. This can be plugged into a computer to charge (about 2 1/2 hours for full charge from 0%) or if you have a spare AC to USB connector (Comes with a lot of last Generation Android/Windows Phones) you can connect to the wall to charge.

If I wake this device up and my wife happens to rattle off our bank name and account number, is that information sent to Google to help improve their device's voice recognition? I am major worried about things like this with these devices
Once you say Hey Google, it will record and it gets stored on the Google Account associated with the device. Google does allow you to not only see what it has but delete it. They also added a H/W mute to prevent the device from recording. But yes they do store this information and use it.

You need an Android (Phone or Tablet) or Apple (iPad/iPhone) device. Google unfortunately doesn't provide for use by Computer at this time and playing with the Android App I'd say you'd be better off with an Android device to get the most out this thing.

Will it help to stop buffering?
This depends on why you are having buffering issues. If your buffering issues are because your internet is slow/ISP not able to deliver no. That is outside the house. However if you have a good ISP/bandwidth coming into the house then this can help, as it improves coverage and since MU-MIMO devices are better able to share wireless with multiple devices. You may still need/wish to upgrade the wireless cards to the newer AC ones that support MU-MIMO to get additional throughput but this may help.
