Elegance and performance. Gaming and more!

Generally talking, this is a good ASUS ROG. Some people might not like the soft plastic touch but this is what gives it the “premium” look. It was my first good impression when unboxing it. The laptop has a very nice look with gaming’s oriented design. Asus gave this ROG a very nice shell touch with lights and reflexions. Finger print sensor is well made and nicely hidden in the power button and it works well every time. The keyboard has a very good layout with nice keys travel. Touchpad is very accurate and large (larger than mostly needed) and it can be very useful when doing some design works.
Intel i7 is running very well with the out-of-the-box setup (Solid State Drive, Ram, Nvidia Graphics …) the laptop boots fast with nicely animated logo. Battery life is not the best (around 4~6 hours) depending on what you are doing. Battery life can be extended when properly adapting the laptop resources. Asus gives you the good tool to do that using the "Armoury Crate" easy shortcut button.
This laptop is loaded with connectivity options: USB-C, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, Headphone jack and even Micro SD card reader…) not bad at all. It lacks the full SD card reader but I don’t think it really matters as it became obsolete. Micro SD is taking over.
Camera quality is very good. More than what you need for work from home tasks: Zoom, meetings, any video conferences... Laptop speakers and microphones work just fine. The fans can be noisy sometimes but you can adjust/fix their speed from the Crate.
Win10 works well on this laptop. Usually I face a lot of issues when setting up a new laptop. With this Asus, all the drivers are properly installed and working just fine from the beginning
I’d really recommend this laptop if you are looking for a gaming machine. It is loaded with nice features, well designed and strongly built. I’ve been using this laptop for a while now. I use it for some video editing, gaming and just every daily tasks. It is holding very well.

Portable but not that easy to use

Miroir should add a more comprehensive user manual in the box. I had to look online to see why my USB-C to USB-C connection is not working. They illustrated it as easy to connect through USB-C to Android devices. I tried but it didn't work. Then I got my USB-C to HDMI adapter and connected the projector through HDMI and VOILA! Well, all that after some time of frustration and testing...
Once got it up and going, the projector is not bad. Clear image and long lasting battery. I had it running for almost 2 hours without problems. It can also be used as power bank to charge other devices. That's useful when using my HDMI adapter that requires power source to work.
The price (now) is good. The package is perfect. Holding well. Fan noise is acceptable and also very good adjusting the image vertical lines to match the angle of the projector.
Connect it to a Google Cast or a Fire stick (it has USB power output) and you get a very good stand-alone wireless projector. You will like it then.
It is a good way to make an 80 inch portable TV to carry with you from one room to another or just anywhere you need it.
Do I recommend this to a friend? Maybe yes. But I'll make sure I explain for them how to properly use it. Or recommend buying a good USB-C to HDMI adapter (interface).

Pixel Buds A-Series bring you rich, high-quality sound for a lot less than you’d expect. Their beamforming mics help make calls crystal clear.*** The flush-to-ear design is stylish, and the stabilizer arc keeps them in place so you can wear them even during the sweatiest workout.**

Very similar to the previous pixel earbuds. The voice quality seems to be better, battery life is slightly better and the earbuds are a bit lighter. Easy to use as usual and a lot of the nice features for less money. Very stylish and good fitting in the ear. The only downside (for some people) might be the lack of wireless charging.
Slim case, good package. Fast charging and easy to use.
Strongly recommended.

Make the most of every day with the sleek style, performance, and all-day battery life² you need in the lightest Surface Laptop, all at an exceptional value. Ultra-light and portable profile, the apps* you use every day, premium materials, and a choice of must-have colors will make this your go-to laptop. ²Up to 13 hours of battery life based on typical Surface device usage. Testing conducted by Microsoft in September 2020 using preproduction software and preproduction configurations of Surface Laptop Go Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. The active use portion consists of (1) a web browsing test accessing 8 popular websites over multiple open tabs, (2) a productivity test utilizing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, and (3) a portion of time with the device in use with idle applications. All settings were default except screen brightness was set to 150nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage and other factors.

Very nice computer. Priced wisely as well

One step to perfection: The keyboard back light... I wish it has it.
This Surface Laptop has a capable intel i5 10th generation processor. The first thing I've done with it (after all the updates) is to turn off the S mode to unlock all the potentials and install my daily use programs. It works really fast and kind of quite (after finishing all the win10 updates). To mention here, most computers with win10 will really need some time before delivering the best experience. A lot of updates and works are running in background that make the fan runs very often and kind of loud. The best I recommend is to keep the computer connected to power, set the sleep mode to never and let it sit over night... Restart it in the morning and here you go.
Keyboard is very nice and has good feeling typing. Keys position is very good. The only down side is the "no back light" but I think it is manageable for most users. Screen is very crisp and clear. Enough lit (for me at least). Good resolution and adequate refresh rate. Very good for office and school use. Easy portable thanks to the small dimension and the light weight. Microsoft decided this laptop won't have a tablet mode. That would make a better use for the very nice touch screen and the design.
Camera is good enough for the daily new life style thanks to COVID-19 (Zoom, video conf,...) the sound is good enough. Microphones work very well capturing your voice. I mostly use my Bluetooth earbuds. Bluetooth works very fine. I tried several Earbuds and they all work just fine. Surface Laptop also has the audio jack. It is handy have indeed. This laptop is WiFi 6 ready. I still don't have a WiFi 6 router (yet) but as tested, the wifi connection is fast enough. The range is good and no complains at all. There are 2 USB connectors on the left side. One is USB-C can also charges the laptop, the second one is a regular USB. On the right side you have the Surface special expansion connector: Surface Connect Port.
The keyboard as the Fn lock key which can be very handy. There is also a nice fingerprint (the power button) that works really nice and every time. Easy to set up and very convenient. Ambient light sensor works fine adjusting the screen brightness when light changes. Touch pad works very nice. It is not very big but just doing the job fine. Nice and smooth touch, very fast response. Windows 10 is running the show very nicely.
In summary, this is a very nice laptop that is priced well and packaged good. Providing nice work (and entertainment) experience with all the nice features it has. I'd recommend it for any daily light to moderate use. S mode can be easily turned off! Laptop has long lasting battery and small dimensions providing very good portability.

I was sent this Surface Laptop Go by Microsoft to test and review. I'd still recommend it to a friend and I'd still buy one for my personal and work use.

It is just ok. Can be better or maybe cheaper

Posted by: SL7977089

They are not very bad to be honest but really not 5 stars. Sound quality is very good. They are kind of big in the ear but they provide very nice listening experience. The tapping shortcuts are working well but some are linked to one side earbud. A lot of tapping to remember. Still not that bad for every day use and enjoying music listening or movies watching. Selective mode is really good.
Noise cancellation is not very aggressive but ok!. It is the best you can get for in-ear ear bud. There will be still some noise getting around the earbuds to the ear (unlike the over the ear headphone). I can say they are ok for that. No major complains on phone calls. They are doing right fine (don't relay much on gestures to answer and reject calls. Use the phone for more accurate function).
Pairing is very easy. Works well with all electronics supporting BT (Laptop, tablet iOS, Android...) No issues at all.
Battery life is amazingly good. With very long time use, never had the necessity to charge them or the case. It holds fine for very long time usage. Charging the case is easy but I'd like it more if it was the regular USB-C plug in port. Not the short USB wire plug included... You might need USB extension for easier charging...
I'd recommend them for tough environment usage as they are built from tough plastic material making them very robust. They take hits nicely. They may be kind of bulky true but still very light weight.
The earbuds are coming with different sizes of "ear gaskets" fittings making them comfy as desired. They are easy to clean and easy to store. The case has individual earbud charger indicator. Very useful indeed..

They would be just perfect with all the small flaws if the price was a bit less. They are a very good catch if you get them on sale or specials.
I'd recommend them to somebody who likes loud music as their size allow loud playing. Long lasting batteries and nice noise cancellation.

Workout without the wires when you use these wireless Google Pixel Buds earbuds. Sensors in each bud detect your voice and eliminate background noise so you can take and make clear calls, and water resistance makes these in-ear headphones the ideal fitness buddy. With Google Assistant built right in, these white Google Pixel Buds earbuds help you check the weather or search your contact list with just a tap.

Google did a great job with these Pixel Buds. They are just the perfect ear buds for everyday use. They are too small but packed with technologies and sensors... With the small size, they still have a very adequate battery life. Streaming for hours without issues. Android OS users will really love them! Working perfectly fine with all Google devices (and Android OS devices) switching from one device to another without any issues and with very short delay. First time use was easy and straight forward. I initiated them using a pixel phone (4a) the app is native in Pixel Phones. A lot of features and functions and too many useful shortcuts for very small device and touch area. I just had some time to learn all the shortcuts. You can use one or both earbuds. They are completely functional either way. They fit nice in the ear and very stable thanks to the special design. The are water resist! I'd not swim with them though but that's good so I can safely clean them.
Sound quality is special indeed. The sound coming out feels like coming from far and not directly in the ear. Unlike some cheap earbuds... The app is very useful adjusting the sound quality and the Bass. The Pixel Buds have also noise adaptation feature. Very good to have but it is a bit aggressive (to my taste). I used them for watching movies and making/receiving phone calls. The voice quality is perfect. People on the other side hear me very clear and loud.
Back to the gestures: Very effective! Notifications are announced clearly! Very good if you can't look to your phone screen! You won't miss anything. Google assistance also available and very helpful. Google made it possible to activate or deactivate these features by using the app. This would limit accidental touches.
Google also has a nice feature with those Earbuds allowing you to share one with another person. The good side of this sharing is the individual sound level setup. Good for listening to music together and also for phone calls. Like simple conference but private! Good to have!
One of the very nice features is the Google Translate integration. Very helpful communicating with people speaking in another language. I tried Spanish. With more practice, you can get used to it!
Battery life is very good. Used them for very long time without need to charge (the whole day with swapping right and left) never had issues! I like the wireless charging feature. It works with all wireless chargers I have even the vertical ones. For verticals I had to put the enclosure upside down. It charges fast. Can't complain!

Who will need those? They are very good for daily use and just for all kind of applications. The enclosure is too small to carry and easy to clean. They are fit and light to be used for extended time period.
I like them and I recommend them. They became my daily use earbuds. Enjoying switching them between my phones and pixel book.

I can't say that this is a Gaming Monitor or Only For Gaming! It is really good for also everyday use monitor. It has 2 HMDI commenctors (That's what I care most) and the audio connectivity through HDMI (supported by my computer). The monitor has a nice curve making it bigger without taking too much space. I was admiring everything about it until I was disappointed by the height of the monitor until I figured out that the height is adjustable! Now I love it!!! Just the perfect monitor for every day use.
It is not that heavy by the way! Power supply is inside. No external adapters. It did come with an HDMI cable (good enough). Resolution is more than ok! Refresh rate is good (for my eyes)... Looks nice on the desk as well.

When you think that everything about K-Cup and Coffee brewing was done or thought about... K-Supreme Plus will surprise you! Completely new approach that is making a very special coffee cup every time. Fresh nice design, super fast warming up (no time at all), minimalist but very efficient control interface and new tech brewing coffee using the max of K-Cup pods.
The K Supreme Plus makes 5 holes in the pod injecting it with hot (selective temperature) water from several points. Also with adjusted stream to guarantee the best taste (by adjusting the strength). Programmable users (up to 3) for faster brewing. Possibility to brew on ice properly.
I recommend it for coffee lovers as it brings a new experience with every coffee cup.

Indeed the best affordable smart phone you can get
on August 26, 2020
Posted by: SL7977089
from Houston TX
Google did a great job on this phone from several corners... Starting with the price, about $350! It is indeed a very good price for what you are getting. This phone has an amazing "Portable" size without compromising the screen real size or the usability of the device. The phone is made out of plastic! I bet 99% of people put their phone in cases... Why to pay extra for something you will put a cover on?
Battery life is ok. It lasted the whole day with moderate to sever use! I can't complain about it. It charges really fast as well (using the original charger USB-C). I don't need to talk about the camera, how amazing it is! The camera on this phone is really beyond what I expected! Very good photos and I love the night sight photos! The phone is very light weight, small to carry (unlike my other giant devices) and doing the job correctly. If tested with other phones, It is way faster than the Pixel 3a (normal) and also faster than my old iphone X (possibly normal as well). The screen is very crisp. Selfie camera is very good. Not really bothered by the punch hole.. I like the finger print in the back (the best place I guess) and the feel (mechanical response) of the side buttons. Phone sounds are loud! Loud enough... I watched some Youtube videos on it (and also Youtube TV) with no issues or complain. The screen size is fine for me! Still can manage all my daily tasks on it. Its refresh rate is OK (for what you pay)...
Wireless coverage is not bad at all, I used it on ATT and Google Fi. With both I have very good coverage everywhere and very good voice call quality. Internet speed not bad at all whether on 4G or WiFi... Very good. Google added in the box a Google brand phone case (I've already got an aftermarket one) and honestly, the Google phone case is very nice! It gives characters for the device. I never saw it this way... My work has some harsh environment, I swap to Google phone case whenever I am off work. I am really considering buying more cases.
The Android OS when directly from Google (on Google devices) is amazing. No bloatware or crapwares... Just pure Android experience with still a lot of nice features... With the low specs on paper, the device is still blazing fast..
In conclusion about the phone:
- You really get more of a device for what you pay
- Fast, small and good battery device in one package
- Plastic built is honestly not a big deal! Still high quality device.
- Screen size is OK. Small in size but big in resolution
- Good batter and charging fast
- Amazing cameras (front and back)
- Good Android experience. Always up to date.

I recommend this if you are looking for affordable but still very good phone that you can rely on for your daily use.

It is nice that JLab Audio are targeting (some how forgotten) gamers' age. My kids are less than 11 years old and they do some gaming from time to time. They used to use my big headphones which are heavy and kind of loud for their sensitive ears (I am too old. No sensitive ears). This headset is both light weight and average audio level. Also, it looks really nice. I like how the microphone can be stowed inside the headset and pulled out when needed.
Technically: It pairs very nice and easy with all their available devices: Windows, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, XBOX, ... No issues at all. Range is more than needed and battery life is more than average, the whole day (playing) with no need to charge. This headset is Black/Grey, looking nice and stylish to be honest. It has a microphone mute button on the side (which can be very handy). Microphone, by the way, records clear and loud. No distortions or issues.
I like that they are also coming with wired connector. It makes it more universal and gives it more connectivity options.
I tried this JLab Audio JBuddies myself, they are kind of small for my head, setting on max stretch but fairly fine.
I do recommend it if you have kids that you don't want them to use your personal headset or you worry about the battery life or audio level and their soft internal and external ears. Price is affordable also.

You can just use the Google Docs for that. I use it on my windows machine better for some docs writing than the MS Office Word.

What do you mean?

Why did you rate it 2 stars if you are not reviewing the Chromebook!? How come it is the Chromebook fault if your family have Iphones? Go get the overly priced apple then... But don't write a review at all...
Your rating is misleading buyers (or at least potential ones).

1 out of 5I'm so upset with BestBuy!
By AlexBrooklyn
i had a very hard time finding a good laptop at Best Buy. Usually, the customer service is great. But last night, the customer service reps were more concerned with sitting down, texting and hanging out instead of helping customers. The sales associated ( brooklyn location) convinced me this was a good laptop (blowing me off). I left that location and went to another Best-Buy further away from my house. I end up purchasing the same laptop at this location from the supervisor. After i make it home, i open and set up this laptop, it crashed 4 times back to back. The screen has been unresponsive 4 times now. After 5 minutes of using it, i had so much spam on my computer, i couldn't read my email. Theres so much bloat wear on this computer it isn't funny. Its very glitchy. I've never owed nor used Lenovo products. I don't think i will ever buy another one. i'm very dissatisfied with this purchase and with Best Buy. I will be returning it later on today. A SAD EXPERIENCE!!!!!

Reviewing the laptop and not the retailer..

Hello,
I think you should focus on the laptop. That's why someone like me making a decision on purchase is spending time reading comments and reviews. As for the spam mail, I don't see how the laptop is the cause of your spam!? Also, you still have time to return it / exchange it...

Great computer, very thin. The one complaint that I have so far is that the battery is built in to the computer and not easily removable. This wont matter unless it begins having battery issues like every other laptop I've owned. So far so good.

Battery
April 21, 2015
I have some laptops with non-removable batteries. I never had issues with them so far. My IdeaPad is over 2 years old and is working perfectly. The built in battery make it more solid and less pieces to remove. I like the idea of uni-body!

Just got this labtop a few days ago. It keeps freezing every time I play on it. It says- 'Your PC ran into problem and needs to restart..." Maybe I've got a faulty one. Any ideas what could be done to fix this problem?
Another disappointment is that battery has only an hour and fifteen minutes of game time.
At this point I'm thinking to return it.

I am not surprised to hear that. The one you got had the win10 installed? Win 10 for now is full of bugs. Give it some time...

Choose this NETGEAR router and receive high level wireless security, the ability to share photos, music and more, and a way to keep track of your kids’ activity online. Plus, with easy installation for tablets, smartphones and computers, you’ll be able to start enjoying Wi-Fi throughout your home right away.
I was told to add this to my current network to extend my range. Will this item work for that?
Any wifi range extender will help boosting your wifi coverage. You have several types of extenders. Some are creating and EXT_WIFI network that your device will switch to whenever the signal gets low or some with the same SSID as your primary network but with different internal MAC addressing. Both of them are known to work just fine. The best solution though is to use a router with mesh technology. That is the best of the best so far.

Experience lag-free, immersive audio with this wireless Plantronics gaming headset. It has support for lifelike Dolby Atmos sound, and the sound-isolating ear cups and noise-canceling microphone keep your focus on the game. This lightweight Plantronics gaming headset has a 24-hour battery life and convenient analog adjustments for custom game audio settings.
Has anyone been able to get the game/chat balancer working properly? I have looked everywhere for a solid solution and have not been able to get it working or find a working example. the game/chat balancer for me makes ALL sounds quieter or louder.
When used with Dolby Supported game, you have to set the game on your gaming device (I use the MSI GS63 Stealth). Selecting the game and then selecting the sounds channels will allow you to have this feature working. It is not easy but it relay on other features that you should have available on your PC. Would work easier if you add the Fiber Optic Channel. That will allow an automatic (hardware level) identification of the channels and make it work out of the box.
