Play your favorite PC games with this 15.6-inch Lenovo laptop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM let you run multiple programs without performance lag, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of file storage space. This Lenovo laptop has a powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti graphics card for fast rendering of images and videos.

Overall this is a very good laptop. Even with only 8GB of ram it runs smoothly and is able to play most games with the settings set to a reasonable level. As long as your not running several different things at once the 8GB of ram is enough to keep you going and the 1050ti graphics is great for a laptop gamer. The only thing I wish was a little better was the battery life. It tends to be on the short side so try not to stray too far from power just in case.

I think this Rylo 360 camera is actually a really good camera. The images are clean and the sound is decent for an action cam. My only really big gripe is there is no Rylo software for your computer. Sometimes it would be a lot easier to be able to do what you can with the Rylo phone app with a computer app instead. Also you have to plug the camera into your phone with the provided cable to be able to transfer the video to the phone app so that is one more thing you need to have with you if you want to work on the go. Also it is nice that they include a memory card with the device, but I would suggest getting a larger capacity card as soon as possible as the one that comes in it can only do 30 minutes or so of recording. One big thing to note is that the video files that you have to transfer to your phone to work on are full size so if your phone does not have a lot of memory available (for those people with lower end Iphones or androids) you might want to make sure you have lots of free space if your going to be working with the app and the videos. Overall though this is a very good camera.

It does what it needs to

Overall I think this dash cam does what it sets out to do. Record to keep you safe from fraud. There are a few things I wish where a little better such as the resolution of the rear facing camera. It would be nice if it at least matched that of the main camera. Also it would be nice if there was some sort of built in storage instead of the requirement to have an external SD card. It would be great if you could record loops to the device and then transfer them to an SD card in the event that it is needed. Otherwise the camera works as intended. One other note would be that maybe they could include a better grade of 3m double sided to adhere to the window. What comes in the box works but in a hot car it was difficult to get it to stick properly.

This CORSAIR keyboard has program macro keys and multimedia controls to keep you in the game.

This review is from a user who has had several Corsair keyboard in the past including K70 and K95 versions. I think this keyboard continues the great build quality and functionality that I would expect from a Corsair product. As I am use to typing on Cherry brown keys the Cherry red's take a little getting use to but I think if you are in the market for a mechanical keyboard and need something that is for a slightly harsher environment (say a shop or garage) this keyboard is a great choice in place of something like a K70. I do wish it still had the USB pass through but I understand for a keyboard that is spill resistant that might not have been a priority the design. The LED back lighting on this keyboard is great. The rubber shield they use around the keys for the splash resistance manages to make the lighting look better than even my older K95RGB variant. One thing of note is with the membrane around the keys I was worried that the keys might feel a little mushy when you get to the bottom of the travel but for the most part I don't seem to notice any mushiness. Overall a great keyboard.

Good Smart Fan, Could use more airflow
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
Overall I think this fan is great. The filtering ability and knowledge you get from the app about the air quality around the device is great. I also love the fact that with the app you can control the fan from anywhere where you have an internet connection with your phone. My one big gripe with this fan is that it really does not seem to move a huge amount of air. I don't know if the inclusion of the filters restricts the airflow or if its just a design decision. But I feel for a fan at this price point there is one thing it should do very well, and that is move air. Air movement on max setting (10) seems a little low as I have several old fashion tower fans that seem to move a significant amount more of air even on lower settings. Other than the air speed though the fan is great it runs quite on any setting under 8 (9 and 10 tend to be a little noisy at times) and it has helped to filter out the air in my home.

Great Headphones
on February 28, 2018
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
I have had a lot of headphones in my life and these are the most comfortable headphones I have ever had. Very long sessions with these on are no issue as they don't put a bunch of extra pressure on your head and the ear cups are nice and comfortable. My only gripe might be that because they are open back they lack just a little on the low end, but they make up for that with great mids and highs. Overall very good sounding and comfortable headset.

Big machine suction power*. But with cord-free versatility. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute cord-free vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than the previous V8 Absolute and up to 40 minutes of fade-free power with the Soft roller cleaner head (in Suction mode I). The new torque drive cleaner head removes more dust from carpets. The soft roller cleaner head removes fine dust and large debris from hard floors. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute cord-free vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld for quick cleanups, spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places.*Suction tested to ASTM F558 at the flexible inlet.BR>

Overall I would say that this is one of the better vacuums I have ever used. At fist the power seemed a little underwhelming but after running it over an area that I had already recently vacuumed it picked up more than my old vacuum did when that area had not been vacuumed at all.
Pros:
Lots of attachments, good power, good suction, easy to use, and light weight.
Lots of attachments, good power, good suction, easy to use, and light weight.
Cons: The charging base can not hold all of the attachments so you are stuck finding someplace to put extra attachments that you may not uses all of the time. The battery can not be quick swapped so once the unit runs out of power you have to wait until its charged again to use it instead of being able to swap in a charged battery. And my biggest gripe is that you have to remove the attachments or hard tube hose before you can empty the container. With older models you could leave attachments on and still empty the bin but with this one you have to pull off the attachments before you can empty the bin. Its a small gripe but it would have been nice not to have to take the thing apart to empty it.

I live in an area that is fairly hard to get good signal for most over the air antennas mainly because we are between two ridges. But surprisingly this antenna managed to pick up several more channels then my current lower tier antenna without much issue at all. I think the fact that it has a powered amplifier is a plus for said signal strength as well. Overall it has been working well without issues.

Very good laptop overall
on December 14, 2017
Posted by: ViperElectric
from Knoxville, TN, USA
From a performance standpoint this is one of the better laptops I have gotten in a while. A true quad core, with 16GB of ram out of the box is a nice change from the hyper-threaded dual cores that seem to be in everything nowadays. The keyboard has the number pad which is nice and the back lighting of the keys is nice and bright. Overall the build quality is very good. Sturdy design, and it does not feel like you can bend it in half like some cheaper laptops do in today's market. The laptop runs well once you get rid of most of the bloatware that comes preinstalled. It runs several current games on lower settings without to much of a problem. Don't think your going to be able to run the newest triple a titles on high though it just wont cut it. but if you can handle turning down the setting a little it runs well for a non gaming laptop.
My biggest complaint about this laptop and the reason I docked it a star in the rating is the pre-installed software. Most big company have some but this one was fairly bad It took an hour or so of uninstalling useless items before I could actually start to use the laptop. Not to mention I had to update the touch pad drivers right away because of some forgotten dormant keylogger software that HP had pre-installed. I wish manufacturers would offer a windows laptop with just the hardware drivers and the OS installed from the get-go instead of all of the extra stuff that no one really needs like they do now.

Keep your focus on the road with this Garmin Speak voice service device. Amazon Alexa is integrated and takes voice commands, so you can keep your hands on the wheel, and it connects to your vehicle's stereo system to provide spoken turn-by-turn directions. This Garmin Speak voice service device is compact, so it doesn't obstruct your view.

The first thing I will say is the concept of having Alexa in the car with you is actually kind of nice. But the implementation here needs a little work. The Bluetooth connection seems to be a little flaky at times if you are using it for audio to your car. The device would disconnect and then reconnect and randomly start playing music even though I had it stopped before. I feel if your going to use the device you almost have to use an audio cable and plug into the AUX jack on your car. In Garmin's defense they do say you might have a better experience with the device that way but I feel like they should include an audio cable if they know the product will work better that way.
As far as the operation of Alexa, it works OK but not quite as good as say a home device. I am going to guess that that is because of the extra noise you get in a car from the road but I did find myself having to repeat commands more often then I would with my home Alexa enabled devices.
The display on the device is also somewhat under utilized I feel. It is only every really used for direction arrows but it would be nice if you could have it display the current speed limit, or heading. Or if you could have Alexa abilities utilize it. It is small but I think there is a lot of wasted potential in its use. This may be something that can be implemented with new abilities and a software update but I don't know. As the device is still fairly new there is not many skills designed to work around it specifically so maybe in the future there will be more.
Unfortunately its shortcomings and novelty leave me wondering just why the device exist in the first place. It's nice to have Alexa in the car, but since its just utilizing the phone app I could have used that without the Garmin Speak. I think until they implement some new skills that utilize the display other than navigation, this one is a wait and see kind of device.

Enjoy powerful performance with this compact HP Pavilion Wave computer. The Intel i3 processor provides fast data handling, while the 1TB hard drive lets you store plenty of files. This HP Pavilion Wave computer has 8GB of RAM to run the latest applications and four USB ports for connecting multiple accessories.
Overall

2 out of 5Good for very simple stuff not much more
By ViperElectric
I'll be very honest with this one. If you plan on using this computer for anything more than simple word documents and some simple internet use look other places. I would recommend getting the Core i5 version of this computer before you get this one.
Pro's:
Overall design is well thought out. The device is clean and nicely wrapped in a cloth like material that gives is a little bit of room style. I would not mind having this computer sitting next to my TV or even right on my desk as it has a very welcoming look. The sound out of the single speaker on top of the device from the little bit I have used it so far seems really good for such a small setup as well.

Unfortunately this computer is very very under powered. It is nice that they include 8GB of ram but ram is not everything. This computer tends to start dragging and hiccuping any time you try to do more than one thing. I could not watch a video and surf other web pages without response times being slow and sluggish. The i3 processor is just not up to the game of driving both the monitor and the computer. The i5 version has a dedicated video card and i feel that this version would have benefited from that arrangement as well. But for cost savings i can see why they did not include that.

I honestly feel that the i3 processor in this computer just is not enough for someone who may use a computer for more than just the occasional word document or email. It chugs in a bad way when you attempt to do anything more. If all you want to do is load a single page and play music over the included speaker then I would say you are ok, but more than that and be warned it will feel really slow.

Can you connect two starter kits together?
You can connect the panels from two kits together yes, I just don't think you can have two controllers in the same setup so you would need to omit the controller panel from one set. Otherwise, the panels can all be added together.
