Great value and durable!
on October 30, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Insignia USB-C to USB-C Charge and Sync braided cable is an excellent value for those who are looking for something that is primarily for charging, but can also handle USB 2.0 transfer speeds. The braided outer casing is very tough and is substantially thicker than many other cables at this price! The plug heads are also quite durable but maintain the flexibility you want for resting your phone on you chest or stomach while scrolling the latest on Instagram or TikTok. The white color seems to fend off stains, dirt, and food spills that might stick to white cables, but I still wouldn't recommend dipping it in marinara sauce and not wiping it clean right away... speaking from experience. The packaging is very clear about what the cable is capable of; with the speed, length, and power capabilities prominently displayed on the front of the box and in multiple locations, including on the cable itself! The cable labeling is only for the charging max power, but that's probably the most important spec to have available on the cable itself. The 60-watts max is also perfectly suitable for most thin and light laptops, tablets, phones, and other small devices, as long as the charging brick is alsl capable of at least 60-watts, this cable works perfectly!

The Detect Pro robot vacuum is powered by 3 deep-cleaning technologies that enable the robot to maximize performance by sensing mess level, floor type, and edges & corners. DirtDetect sees even the hidden debris and automatically increases suction and cleaning passes to remove the mess on carpets and hardfloors. Now with NeverStuck technology, this robot will navigate around obstacles AND lift itself up and over thresholds and onto thick carpets. Not only can the robot deep clean, but you also do not have to worry about it getting stuck. Detect Pro finishes the cleaning mission every time and with each clean will empty itself into its bagless base that contains a HEPA Anti-Allergen Seal trapping dust & allergens inside. The odor neutralizer technology will also ensure the odor is trapped in the base for a fresher smelling home and making it the ultimate end to end solution for pet hair pick up.

Bribe the dog to love this thing, it's worth it!
on October 20, 2023
Posted by: Mike
I used to have a robot vacuum for years we called SAM that we would use regularly when going out of town, after picking all the things off the ground first and making sure no rugs were bunched up, and it was an amazing feeling to come home to those fresh vacuum lines all over the floor. Unless it got stuck on something. Then it was just frustrating knowing that you had to find where it lifted its backside and died, carry it back to the charger, and hope it works better next time. We ultimately put the old one in our storage locker because we adopted a house hippo (dog) and she was petrified of the sentient vacuum that would come for her when she or a toy would bump into it! One of the two had to go away, it was obviously our beloved SAM the vacuum. Then I decided to give it another try with a Shark "NeverStuck," and see if that was true...
This thing is absolutely AMAZING! The setup was incredibly easy, you don't even have to check for the instructions (QR code to the app, even easier, still don't know if the printed manual is in the box)! After downloading the app, it walks you through a simple setup process of the actual vacuum and dock, then to the account creation. You'll be asked to name your robot; you can choose from a long list of preselected names or choose your own. We went with "Meryl Sweep" because much like its namesake's character in "The Devil Wears Prada," Meryl Sweep is confident, effective, slightly feared (by our dog), and 'speaks' quietly so YOU must pay attention to hear them! The Detect Pro also looks sharp and demands attention with its sleek design! The self-emptying part is nice, not really "self-emptying" because you do have a dustbin to empty, but it is much larger than other robot vacuums, almost the same size as a lot of stick vacuums! The emptying process between Meryl and the base is quite loud, you will know when the vacuum is docked and emptying its bin if you're in the room. We've been trying to get this thing stuck, too. We don't pick up charging cords, dog toys are left where they were, blankets draped off the couch onto the floor, loose bunched up rugs of different heights, even intentional blockades under the couch! Nothing! It just keeps going! I'm sure it has something to do with the initial mapping of the floor, but even with that, it's going places it completely missed or were covered during the initial mapping! Overall, though, a solid investment to keep our main level cleanly vacuumed! I'd recommend it if you're willing to splurge a bit, though the price is still a good value for everything it does.
P.S. Remember to bribe to dog to become friends with it, we covered ours in treats, gradually having it do more of its normal movements and cleaning tasks while covered in treats. After about two weeks, our pup is looking forward to the stationary treats while Meryl is at its base, still not a fan of the vacuuming, but mostly leaves it alone.

Good picture, simple to use, privacy shutter!
on October 20, 2023
Posted by: Mike
I have been using the Logitech Brio 100 webcam for the past few weeks and I have to say it is a fantastic little webcam! The setup couldn't be any easier, you take it out of the box, connect it to your computer's USB, jump into a meeting, slide the privacy shutter to uncover the lens, and you're set! The built-in stand is perfect for clamping to the top of your monitor and there's a little room for adjustments up and down. The lens has fixed focus, so you'll be clear in the frame if you don't stand too far away, but I used this in our conference room a few times and even those at the other end of the 15-foot table were still clear.
The Brio 100 is not without faults, though. The cable is about 3ft long, long enough for laptops under monitors but can come up a little short in larger or more spread-out workspaces. The clamp mount works great on top of a monitor with slightly larger bezels, but is attached at the middle of the mount, so it tends to block a small portion of the top of the screen (see picture with 2 other webcams). Speaking of the mount, it does not have a 1/4-inch mount on the bottom, so using it with ring lights, mounts, or tripods is difficult (we used gaffer's tape, worked fine). The final negative is the software... it is recognized by LogiTune, but there are few adjustments and nothing you can change with the zoom or position of the camera in the software, a feature I use all the time with my Logitech C920e.
Overall, this is still a great webcam, especially for the price! The software issue could easily be fixed in an update and the mounting woes can be solved with a little tape and some creativity (we accountants are known for that lol). I would still recommend this for the office worker or student who is looking for a reasonably priced webcam that is better than most laptop webcams and can be positioned high enough to avoid multiple chins on Teams call!

Almost Perfect, No Privacy Shutter
on October 6, 2023
Posted by: Mike
JLab almost had the perfect webcam here, the simple setup and on-camera controls are ingenious! The microphones work excellently, and the camera quality is sharp and clear. Low light performance is great, and the inclusion of a second magnetic fabric microphone cover is great for an extra bit of personalization on a truly "work-focused" webcam. It also features a fully articulating ball head, monitor edge mount, 1/4-inch tripod mount, and a very nice, braided USB cable! It's 2K (1440P) resolution gives the Epic Cam an "epic" leg up on most of the other offerings in the ~$100 price point!
The only real negatives are the lack of software or software adjustments available with the camera (something akin to "Logi Tune") and the lack of privacy shutter in any capacity, software or hardware! This seems like a glaring design oversight on an otherwise excellent webcam, I have taken to just turning the camera around when not using it but would love to just slide or flip a privacy shutter over the lens.
Overall, this is still an excellent webcam that is easy to use and setup. Software and privacy shutter aside, the 2k resolution is incredible to use for Teams calls or streaming after work, while also allowing a laser sharp image when using the physical zoom control! This camera looks equally at home in your office or a gamer streaming setup, while also providing clear images, physical aperture and zoom control, multiple mounting options, and a lot of physical adjustments to get the perfect looks. The lack of software controls can easily be updated later by releasing software and the privacy shutter just leads to creative ways of giving yourself privacy, like turning the camera around or placing a sticky note over it (trusty old sticky note!). For $100, JLab's Epic Cam stands up well against the competition and offers better image resolution versus most others, 2K vs 1080P!

Excellent mix of practicality and flash!
on October 5, 2023
Posted by: Mike
I have been using the Logitech Litra Beam LX for a while now and it has been an excellent experience! I can easily use it for work, content creation, and streaming! The setup is incredibly easy, just unbox the key light, screw everything down with the 1/4-inch fasteners in the base and stand into the light, plug it into power, and you're ready to go out of the box. You don't even need to connect it to your computer with USB-C or Bluetooth to use it, though you do have those options for further flexibility and ease of use, too. The most ingenious thing about this light for me is not that it's dual sided, but that the controls on the device are so intuitive! There's power, a selector switch, brightness, and temperature/color. The selector switch is as simple and slide it in the direction of the side you'd like to control and that's what it does! So simple, so practical, but there are so many lights out there with convoluted controls that require you to master their system or force you in software to get a simple brightness adjustment done. You don't really need a computer to use this light, but it sure does open up further flexibility by using the Logitech G Hub program, this allows you to further tweak, refine, and customize the Litra Beam LX to exactly what you want out of it, whether that be a specific shade on the RGB side, temperature sync with other Litra lights, or something as simple as auto-on/off when your camera is on or off! I seriously love using this light and am really tempted to get another for the other side of my desk! As for the price, I would love it to be less, but as someone who previously spent double what the Litra Beam LX costs on "real studio key lights," I'll take the $149. The $50 premium over the standard Litra Beam is not bad, considering you can use the other side as a fill light for the rest of the space (the side facing the opposite direction, that is).
Way to go Logitech, you nailed this one! I would highly recommend it for the gamer, content creator, and professional who needs a light a varied and flexible as their needs are!

Excellent Value, great components, and upgradeable
on September 26, 2023
Posted by: Mike
If you're looking for an easy to start with gaming computer, this is a strong contender! The box includes a desktop that has enough horsepower to get you started on high quality, high framerate gaming out of the box, a decent enough keyboard that types pretty well for an included keyboard, and a mouse that is not terrible (for an included mouse). All of this together means that the computer will be able to grow with you over time, whether that be a new keyboard and/or mouse, connecting it to your monitor/TV/projector/all of them, or upgrading components inside!
My Predator Orion 5000 PO5-650-UB11 desktop came equipped with an i7-13700F (no on-CPU graphics), a NVIDIA RTX 3070, 1TB NVMe SSD storage, and 16GB of the latest DDR5 RAM. Basically, this is an awesome gaming package that is just waiting for you to hook up a gaming monitor and WOW yourself with excellent performance and a very customizable rig! There is more than enough RGB for those that like it, and it's addressable! That means you can customize the look just for you! The RGB on the motherboard instead of on the RAM, GPU, or elsewhere is weird, but it works and still looks good! The case is durable! There's a slim chance that something like the graphics card is going to shake loose, maybe the RAM, but even that is locked in! The side and top panels are removeable to get to the components and dust filters (all removable and easy to clean!), they are held in place by a Philips head screw that was cranked on pretty tight for mine, but you can mostly leave those in a drawer after you have it home and rely upon the quick release latch system to keep things contained and allow easy, tool-less access!
This rig had no problems handling COD Warzone/BO:CW/MW at max settings, Fortnite, Forza, or Fallout 4 & 76, and GTA V at max settings! The productivity side is even more impressive, with the i7-13700F and RTX 3070 making for a solid streaming and video editing rig! The amount of power you get from this CPU/GPU combo allows you to easily stream at high quality 1080P or 1440P without an additional capture card or streaming rig, perfect for someone just getting into streaming, casual streaming, or is more interested in recording and editing videos for YouTube! There are two more RAM slots that are not populated for memory expansion, especially if you're looking to stream and record, then edit with Premiere Pro. The 3.5" HDD/2.5" SSD sleds in the bottom of the case are also pre-populated with the SATA data and power cables! You literally just have to pop them onto the drive sled and slide them in!
Pros:
-Great airflow!
-Excellent match of hardware
-New RAM sticks look good! (not just plain PCBs)
-Good amount of included storage space and LOTS of options to add more!
-Keyboard and mouse are more than usable, not just e-waste
-Good thermals, all around!
-High performing out of the box.
-Very limited proprietary programs and bloatware.
-Hot-swappable 3.5" HDD/2.5" SSD trays for easy storage upgrades!

Cons:
-Second NVMe SSD mount shoots off the side of the motherboard
-On-board RGB LEDs are an odd choice
-Case can be used with other equipment inside of it, but there may be some oddities, such as the 2.5" hot-swappable drive mount that isn't usable and the massive GPU brace (that can be removed, but not reused)

Overall, this is an amazing value and a great pick for someone who wants to get into higher-end PC gaming, but doesn't want to fiddle with building their own. This is also a great value for the parts inside and performance! I would highly recommend it!

All the basic accessories! Great tripod!
on September 26, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Insignia GoPro Accessory Kit includes all of the basics to get you started with using your new GoPro or adventuring away from the initial mounts that come with the camera! The floating grip is perfect for shooting around any body of water, even if you're not in it, to make sure your GoPro is safe if you happen to drop it. The suction cup mount is nice if you're doing a lot of car or boat shots, where you can suction the camera directly to the vehicle you're using, though mine fell off before we were able to test it on the hood of our car and I took that as a sign to not try it in that extreme of a situation. Instead I tested it on the inside of my windshield, which it also fell from a few times before I ended up licking it to help with the suction, which did work! That's the only reason I dropped a star off the rating, I just didn't feel comfortable with trusting the life of my GoPro 10 to a mount that didn't want to stick. The chest mount is one of the more basic one's I've seen and tested (I happen to have the GoPro "Chesty" mount and the older Insignia one), but it was easy to fit and fasten and held up perfectly to a 10k run test! It definitely outlasted the battery... and almost me, too! There was a large improvement made from the Insignia chest mount I purchased with my Hero 5 in 2018 and the one in this kit, the buckle is substantially better and the straps are more contained. The old one would kind of bounce all over and would shove the buckle into your chest with the plastic backplate, the new one still has the plastic backplate (versus breathable cushioning like the GoPro Chesty and some alternatives), but the buckle is vastly improved!!! The tripod/selfie stick is really cool and very sturdily built! I tried it with my Canon R10 mirrorless camera and it's 24-105mm lens, held up better than some of my smaller tripods do! The included case is a nice addition, too, as it fits all of the gear or most of the gear: chest mount, tripod stick, head strap mount, two GoPros, one media mod, two additional batteries, THE Remote, dual charger, and a cable!
I would recommend this to someone who's either getting their first GoPro or wants to up their game with a budget friendly kit full of good to great equipment!

Clean, modern look and excellent sound!
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: Mike
I had used a Technics receiver, DAC, and CD player for years growing up and into adulthood, always producing good, clean sound and I was able to get them at a decent price used. This received brings back all of the good memories of that old system but in a compact, modern design and with a massive heatsink on the back end! The setup was easy and quick, there's not a ton of options for what to connect and where as this unit has only two speaker terminals and most of the rest is either built-in like the CD player (excellent!!!) and the internet & streaming players, or will utilize the phono, optical, digital coax, line-in, or USB. Just enough to connect to everything you want it a compact system to connect to. The only real negatives are that it does only have two speaker terminals, not even and A/B option or for bi-amplifying towers. The power output is very nice, pushing plenty of clean sound throughout the room. I have my Martin Logan Motion towers connected and they are fed more than enough power to crank the music loud enough to head all through the house and outside! The CD tray is very cool, harkening back to some of the odd '90s designs used on shelf component systems but with a little more of a modern look, LEDs have also gotten substantially better!
The only really negatives about this fantastic receiver, is that the app is finicky on Android and the optical in only accepts up to 96kHz. That's okay and sounds great, double the bitrate of what a CD will do, but still exceptional sound for a tidy little unit. I'd recommend it for someone in a home office or study, could be a nice showpiece in a modern living room, too. This is a very sharp looking and clean sounding unit, where all you need is to connect your speakers, follow the setup instructions and enjoy! The only reason I took a star off is for the previously mentioned limitations I came across. iOS may fare better with the app, but hopefully it gets better and more stable with time.

Broadcast channels to the whole house!
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: Mike
The Tablo Over-the-Air DVR and Streaming Player is an excellent way to have one central antenna that can be viewed all over the house and on the go! There was a time before SlingTV where you could use a Sling Box to stream your broadcast or cable TV through the web, but in the decade since that disappeared, there really have been few options to view your local stations on the web without a subscription service. This Tablo Player fills that void very nicely and it has an onboard DVR, too!
The setup was incredibly easy, just follow the quick start guide, download the app, and connect and antenna! You can either use the onboard wifi or an ethernet cable to connect to the internet, ethernet is recommended for reduced lag and less interference. After you're all connected, the device and app will scan for local stations, just like a TV will do, and tell you what's all available!
Using the app is easy, straightforward, but there are some limitations to it. Most seem to be down to licensing rights for streaming TVs but their website does state that support for Apple TV, Samsung, LG, and other smart TVs or boxes will be coming soon! The availability of free streaming channels, DVR functionality, and comprehensive TV guide are all amazing features! I'd recommend this to those looking for an option to stream broadcast channels to devices around their home and on the go without having to pay for a monthly TV subscription!

Shark does it again! Excellent blender!
on September 12, 2023
Posted by: Mike
I have had many Ninja blenders in the past and every one is better than the last! With this update, Ninja added a more modern look with the dial and clearer display, as well as an improved sensing mode. The staples of Ninja blenders are still there, especially the single-serve cups that are the perfect size for a morning breakfast shake (1 cup frozen strawberry banana mix, 2 blueberry Greek yogurt cups, 4oz water, 4 "freezer ice machine" ice cubes, sense blend)! I have been trying different recipes that come in the included recipe book, chopping, blending, pureeing, you name it, this thing can handle it perfectly! I even ground coffee beans, they turned out just like it came from my coffee grinder! I truly can't say enough about how amazing this blender is and how much easier the new Sense IQ mode is for choosing how to blend, mix, chop, or crush whatever it is you're trying to accomplish!
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, just anyone! Buy it for yourself, a friend, a wedding gift, birthday, holiday, and the recipient will truly love it! This is the kind of machine that will become your go to in the kitchen!

Sure can! There are two included cables in the box, I would recommend using the one that has the audio dial and mic must switch built into it. Just have to plug the 3.5 mm cable into the 3.5 mm headset port on the bottom of the Dual Shock 4 controller.

Can i use this during my workout sessions I have read articles which says it is not sweat proof and water resistant. I need to understand how bad can it get or damage the product if used during the workout? Is it ok to use or not recommended for workout
I was curious about this too. So, I decided to take a risk yesterday and used them on a 5 mile run. 96 degrees with a heat index of 113 and the last mile was heavy rain, drenched in sweat and they're still working like a charm! I would recommend to wipe them off immediately and set them out to dry before putting them back in the case though, just to make sure no water and salt get in the case or stay on the metal contacts.

I've really been enjoying the system, great machine for heavier productivity work (massive spreadsheets and documents) that you'd never think better graphics would help and playing some PC games that were a little too intensive to play and keep my laptop cool enough. Check out my review listed under "Mike" and should have a "Tech Insider Network" listed under my name (if you're looking on the website and not a mobile app).

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
Graphics card? Dedicated or integrated? Does it have it's own Vram? Or shares the 12GB system ram?
Integrated into the APU, kind of like a 2-in-1 setup. Beats out the Intel HD integrated graphics but nowhere close to a good dedicated GPU, though there is space in the machine for that upgrade. The APU dedicates 1024 MB (1GB) for graphics and the rest is allocated for sharing between regular tasks and graphics. During GTA V I got a readout of over 3GB of RAM being brought over for graphics to keep it at 1080P 45 FPS. There are definitely ways that you can dedicate more of the system RAM to graphics but, side by side, a decent dedicated GPU is going to beat it out.

Please Explain: Number Of Memory Slots 2 Number of Memory Sticks Included 3
I found this a bit confusing too, might be a type-o or that it's counting the HDD as part of the memory included? It's 2 memory sticks and slots for RAM, 1 spot for a 3.5" HDD.

What are the ram sticks that come with the computer? is it (1) 8gb and (1)4gb?
That is correct. I was curious about it when I received the unit, so I opened the casing to verify that it was. Easy upgrade to get to 16 if you'd like, one easy to remove screw and panel but the RAM is a little tight where it's placed on the motherboard.

Enhance your viewing experience with this 65-inch LG LED television. The Intelligent Processor maximizes color, depth and sharpness to produce a more realistic picture. This LG LED television has Dolby Atmos to deliver theater-quality audio.
can i hook it to the coaxial cable that comes out of the wall, or do i need some kind of RF converter?
That's entirely up to your cable/satellite provider, most will require some form of box to receive their services now. If you're using a whole home antenna system, you'll be fine. This set has a digital tuner to receive over-the-air SD and HD broadcast channels.
