Good for young kids and backup headphones
on June 5, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
Overall, these are not going to replace even the headphones that come with most phones, definitely not the one's included with most flagship phones. However, even though the build quality and in-line controls feel cheap, they are really very durable! I like to keep a pair of backup headphones in my bag just in case the mood hits me to go for a walk or a situation arises where you may want to use a set of headphones, these fit that role perfectly! They are inexpensive enough that if they do end up breaking, you won't feel too bad about it before you go out and buy another pair. The two included ear channel tips are very comfortable and offer good noise dampening with just enough surrounding noise coming through to stay aware of your surroundings but they do a great job of keeping your audio to you. I received good feedback on call quality, both sides of the call (what I heard and what the recipient heard) are clear and crisp. Music quality is missing a lot on the upper and lower frequencies but for a back up pair of earbuds and for running, they sound good.
Overall, for the price, these headphones offer a lot of value and great flexibility for use!

Excellent for casual and beginning gamers!
on May 23, 2019

from Milwaukee, WI
The combination of AMD Ryzen and Nvidia Geforce come together to create a perfect blend of power, graphics, and affordability all in one thin and light package! The matte coated screen gives off very little reflection with the screen off and no reflection with brighter items on screen. The chassis does show fingerprints fairly easily, not too noticeable but they'll accumulate, this is easily solved by wiping with a dry microfiber cloth. Overall built is very solid for as light as it is, the top lid of the screen is metal and almost no screen flex, very sturdy hinge as well. Excellent keyboard with amazing key travel, spacing, size, and quiet! The great selection of I/O on this system also ensures that it will work with all of your newer devices using USB-C and older connections without the need for a dock or dongles! Though it should be noted that the USB-C does not support power delivery at this time. Charging on the go is still doable as the included power brick is still pretty lightweight for how powerful this AMD machine is! The batter in daily use (5-10 Chrome tabs, Word, Excel, other productivity software, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu) lasted over 8 hours with the brightness set to 40%, which was still easily view able in mid-day with a lot of sunshine. I attempted gaming on battery and with GTA V, I was able to get 2 hours before the low battery warning came on. If you're looking to do a good gaming session, bring the charger with!
This machine handled GTA V on the highest settings at 1080P with an average of 90 FPS, lowest it dropped to was during the benchmark test and it briefly dropped to 48 FPS. CS:GO is silky smooth at the highest settings at 120+ FPS. Civ V came in at over 100 FPS at the highest settings. COD: BO II (older title) maxed out at 120 FPS and ultra-high settings for everything! This system was able to easily tackle any game that is a little older and was able to hold at 60 FPS for newer titles like Shadow of the Tomb Raider (65 FPS, High settings).
For productivity/content: the fans do kick on and can be quite loud if you're doing any processor intensive task for an extended period of time at full power but the included Armoury Crate allows you to choose or build your preferred balance of power, battery, noise, graphics, or just go all out in Turbo mode. Words of caution: the fans will run at full speed under heavier load but Turbo mode WILL considerably speed up your machine! Large Excel spreadsheets and massive database files are no match for this mobile powerhouse and it will be able to handle Photoshop and Premier with relative ease (1080P renders, 4K is still impressive).
I would highly recommend this system to anyone looking for a thin and lighter system for heavy productivity and good casual gaming, at home or on the go! Asus just gained another citizen of the Republic!

Good sound, well built, fun AR
on May 21, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
The Bose Frames Alto are very well built, have better than average sound quality, fun augmented reality apps, good battery life, and sharp looking! I was a little hesitant in trying these for walks around town but the sound quality is quite good! There are going to be a few occasions where the music will be drowned out, most notably for me was while walking down city sidewalks that also had road and building construction going on. This was one of the few times the music was completely drowned out, most of the time simply turning the volume up briefly would fix the issue. This is to be expected as there is nothing in your ear to block outside sounds out. The ability to hear your surroundings is a huge benefit for these sunglasses as it allows you to be more aware of your surroundings and be able to hear and respond without having to remove earbuds or turn off your music/directions. The augmented reality is still very new and I was only able to try out the apps with my significant other's iPhone (Android apps are still in development) but they worked well, the most helpful are the directions and location apps, especially Walc! Walc is a navigation app that uses landmarks instead of cardinal directions and distance to direct you where you are going. The Earplay app was interesting and weird, quite fun but I'm not sure how the replay-ability will be down the road. Overall The best part of these sunglasses is the look and sound quality, I do wish they would have shipped with other options for the lenses, like polarized lenses, but they are reasonably priced on the Bose website.

Simple, clean design and reliable
on May 11, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
The size, shape, and look of this charger make for a subtle charging device that is incredibly easy to set up and use. The size of the pad makes placement of your phone quick and easy, as the pad is small enough to match with your phones charging "sweat spot" every time without having too much room on the pad to possibly miss that zone. There is no fan to cool the pad while charging for extended periods, this is both good and bad as there is zero noise emitted when in use but both the pad and the phone get a little warm from charging. Perfectly normal and no dangers in the temperature but it will be warm to the touch, the lack of noise is very nice and allows you to forget the device is even there while also being able to rely on it to work every time you need it! The speed is faster than an original Apple charging brick but slower than most other wireless fast chargers. The 10W power transfer is still a perfect amount for making sure your phone is charged up while at a desk or for overnight charging. I highly recommend!

Good signal, compact design, stand could be better
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
This antenna provides a great signal and it's amplified, providing an even better signal on channels that would normally come in pixelated or not at all! The only real bad thing is the stand that keep the antenna upright is a little wobbly and the cable coming off the back isn't detachable. The last one isn't much of an issue as the cable attached is plenty long for most applications and the wobbly base can be mitigated if you're okay with laying the antenna on it's back. This worked for me and still provided an excellent signal but if you're further away from your local TV stations, this may cause a few channels to be lost. The signal indicator is a great addition to help find where to point the antenna but after first setup, it's just kind of there but not too bright or distracting.

Compact, durable, power delivery!
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
This hub offers everything you could want from a USB hub! The USB-C connection is perfect for most modern laptops, especially those with nothing but USB-C ports. The selection of ports is a perfect compliment for any desk or on the go. The only issue I've experienced is the ports are VERY secure and it might take a little bit of effort to remove any shorter USB dongles (think USB receivers for wireless mice/keyboards). Also, keep in mind, this is a USB-C hub, NOT a Thunderbolt 3 hub. I will work perfectly with TB3 ports on your laptop but will not offer the added benefits TB3 does over traditional USB-C, which, at this price and is perfectly okay. Overall, excellent build quality, great look, perfect selection of ports for the size, lightweight but solid, and power delivery works flawless!

Compact, sturdy, and easy clean up!

from Milwaukee, WI
This is the ultimate set of pots and pans for those with limited cabinet space but still wanting top notch equipment to cook with. Used them with an electric range and they cook very evenly! On the box it states that these are metal utensil safe, I hesitantly tested this as most pots and pans will be scratched beyond use but, I am happy to say they are absolutely safe to use! The clean up is where these really shine though, they are fully dishwasher safe and even the stickiest of cheeses comes right off with almost no work! Excellent build quality, sharp looks, and dishwasher safe... I would highly recommend!

The perfect follow up for the original!
on March 8, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
This laptop fills in all of the gap that the original Notebook 9 pro left! It is just slightly heavier (you can not feel the difference with both in your hand), just a touch thinner, slimmer bezels, better guts (especially the quad core processor), and better battery than the old Pro! This also beats out the Macbook Pro (with touch bar) in every way there is! The keyboard is the only thing that you have to get used to as it is a short travel keyboard and when you begin to hit the keys, you will thing you hit them when you actually just grazed it! This is something that you will move on from after a few days! Excellent laptop and the perfect alternative to the Macbook Pro for Windows users!

Precise, great feel, not too flashy
on January 4, 2019
Posted by: Mike
from Milwaukee, WI
The thing that impresses me the most about this mouse, is the subtlety that you can have in the lighting (or lack there of, if you choose). The Synapse software worked great, very easy to set up the mouse and different profiles. Wireless performance is flawless and you have the ability to run a corded setup if you'd like, the cable for charging also doubles as an extender to plug the wireless receiver in. One thing that I was unable to test out was the the profile matching throughout the Razer lineup of devices, as the Mamba Wireless is the only Razer peripheral I have.

Easy setup, great picture!

from Milwaukee, WI
Setting up this vehicle camera system was incredibly straight-forward! Probably the easiest setup of any electronic device I've installed into a vehicle! Picture quality on both cameras is very good during the day and pretty decent at night as well! The image quality is definitely better driving through the city, where you have the assistance of street lights, than out in the country at night. Would definitely recommend to those who are looking for something to cover their drives from the front and rear!

Is the motherboard inverted??

Yes and no, the RAM and SSD are on the bottom, easily accessible, and the CPU & GPU are mounted on top/ facing the keyboard. There is a healthy amount of venting above the CPU & GPU as well as vapor chambers to assist with cooling, but to get to them you would have to remove the motherboard. You can see the backplates for the CPU & GPU just below the white cover over the cooling.

Is the m.2 1tb pci-e ssd drive a gen 3 or gen 4?

Hey packersfan036, I am also a Packers fan! From my research, SSD 1 (populated with the 1TB gen 3 SSD from the factory) is gen 4 and SSD 2 (empty from the factory) is only gen 3. Should be able to swap the bay and use a gen 4 on SSD 1. I have not tested this myself as I do not have a gen 4 SSD yet, but Mash IT on YouTube did and it worked well.

The Brydge 12.3 Pro+ wireless keyboard with touchpad matches the quality and functionality of the Surface Pro 4,5,6, and 7 seamlessly. Designed to meet the standards set by Microsoft, the Brydge 12.3 Pro+ features a precision touchpad, adjustable viewing angles and 3-level backlit keys, bringing a laptop-like experience to your Surface Pro.
 

Does the laptop have a front camera and is it also the laptop with the key board?

This is not a laptop, it is an accessory for the Microsoft Surface Pro (4 through 7) Windows tablet PCs. The keyboard base does allow for full use of the Surface Pro's front and rear camera. You would have to also have the separately sold Microsoft Surface Pro to fully use the Brydge Pro+.

You can also use Away Mode to randomly turn porch or landscape lights on and off when you’re not home. Sync lights connected to the Smart Outdoor Plug with the sunset and you’ll walk out to a backyard that’s ready for evening activities.
 

Does this Wemo WiFi smart plug-outdoor, connect to a mesh WiFi system. I have some Wemo smart mini plugs thatonly connect to 2 ghz routers. The Mesh system I have doesn’t distinguish between 2 and 5 ghz bands, so the Wemo mini plugs do not connect my wifi

Seems very strange that you're having issues with connecting to the 2.4 GHz band, the plug should only see the band it can use and connect. I am running a Linksys MX10 Velop mesh router system and have had no problems connecting this or my other Wemo plug (Wemo Insight). It might be a good idea to try WPS to connect to the plugs or reach out directly to Belkin/Wemo for further assistance, they're great help if issues arise! After its set up to your network, it is incredibly easy to use!

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?

It is not independently GFI protected, but most/all outdoor outlets that it would plug into are required to be. Both outlets are controlled as one, i.e. if you turn off the outlet, they both turn off. For the current and temperature, it claims 32-104 Fahrenheit, but mine worked great yesterday and today with temperatures below 32 degrees (29 with a light drizzle and 24 with snow/sleet/rain, respectively) and has continued to worked fine.

Is it possible to use a different keyboard for a specific language? Spanish? Portuguese?

You are able to change the default language and add multiple additional languages for the keyboard through the "Language" settings. These are accessible through the phone Settings or directly through the keyboard! It is very easy to accomplish!

Will unlock version work on sprint network

The unlocked version should work on Sprint/T-Mobile, I would consult with them on which company's SIM to use due to their merger. It will likely be a T-Mobile SIM, but they should be able to definitively answer that for you through Sprint/T-Mobile customer service and the new SIM, if needed. It's really an amazing device!

Will older model accessories from the BL685 model fit into this blender?

Should fit just fine! I have one of the older Ninja Blend IQ systems and the smaller and large blender containers fit just fine.
