Nice new entry into Sony's line of cameras. Great video up to 4k with a lot of options geared especially for vloggers but also great for any user. Also really good for still photos.
Good sound for video with the built in mike but you can add an external one if you prefer. Has adjustable sound level and even shows level meters on the display (you can switch them off if you don't want to see them). Or you can just leave them on their auto setting.
You can customize the functions of 5 of the external buttons for options you use a lot but the built in functions work well for most users.
Has a ton of options if you really want to tweak everything or you can just use the defaults which include a lot of auto adjustment right out of the box. Makes it easy for beginners but also versatile for more advanced users. Changeable lens gives you even more options. Requires a sd card so add that expense if you don't already have one. Works great with the vlogger kit (sold separately) which includes a small tripod/handle/bluetooth remote and 64Gb sd card.
I like the size, small but not too small, feels comfortable in my hands. Smaller cameras feel a bit awkward to me. Also a smaller display would be harder to read. This one is just right.
If you want more info the full manual is here https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/2070/v1/en/index.html
It's 577 pages so get ready for some reading.

It's about what you would expect, maybe a little better. Pretty simple, has two speeds, press the power button once for low, twice for high. Uses 3 AAA batteries (included) but not rechargeable unless you have rechargeable batteries to use with it. Seems pretty sturdy so it should last awhile.
I tried it on my back, hips, shoulders, and neck and it did work well for all. Has a pleasant numbing effect which relieves pain from workouts or just working around the yard. I use it on the floor which seems to give the best relief for me. You can also use it against a wall or just hold it in your hand but handheld is less effective (still works though).
Small so it's easy to carry with you, about baseball size.

The Beurer BR60 Insect Bite Healer uses natural heat to dissolve saliva, venom, and other irritants caused by insect bites. Direct heat application via a ceramic hot plate acceleratres the body's natural healing response to reduce itching and swelling, chemical-free. There is a 6 second application time for regular use, or a short 3 second treatment for sensitive skin. For best results, use immediately after insect bites. Suitable to soothe all types of insects bites like mosquito, spider, bee, chigger, flea, bed bug, wasp, ants, etc. For adults and kids ages 12+ with adult supervision.

Works ok if you use it soon after a bite. Prevents itching and swelling with a heating element which may be painful for some to use but only for a few seconds. Has two settings one press for 3 seconds, two for six seconds. Small and simple, it's good to have.
Unfortunately I often don't notice bites until they start itching and by then it may be too late for it to be effective. But if you use it quickly it does seem to work. Good to keep in your pocket or first aid kit if you plan to spend time outdoors especially yardwork or kids playtime.

eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro provides 360° pan and tilt camera coverage in 2K HD resolution. It boasts smart lighting, real time communication via 2-way audio, all with zero monthly fees. You don't even need a eufy Security HomeBase. This eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro is compatible with most smart devices and can be easily controlled through the eufy Security App. The floodlight can be installed either on the wall or on the ceiling. (Existing outdoor wiring and weatherproof junction box required.)
Posted by: InspectorGadget
Nice pretty sophisticated camera. Easy to install if you already have a light fixture installed. I put it above my garage door in place of my existing floodlights. The camera's built in lights work better and are adjustable with a motion detector as well.
Best Buy says wired but that's just for power. It connects to your wifi without wires. Also has usb power for setup before installing. The lights won't work with the usb power but the camera does.
Good app with lots of options. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detector and what objects trigger it. Tracks people with 360 degree pan and tilt. 8GB built in storage (7.3 available). Cloud storage is available for a reasonable subscription fee. Also can use a network drive.
Nice clear 2K video. Has a few different options for notifications in the app. Good already but will probably get even better with updates after it's been out awhile. A little heavy but not too bad, just be sure it's installed securely. I may get another one.

Enjoy extended storage for your smartphone with this 512GB SanDisk SDDDC4-512G-A46 flash drive. The dual USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectors enable quick transfer of documents between devices, while the all-metal housing with a cover can swivel to provide protection to the connectors. This SanDisk flash drive can be attached to a key ring for portability during your out-of-office assignments.
Posted by: InspectorGadget
This Sandisk flashdrive packs a lot of storage space into a tiny package. It's only slightly bigger than the two connectors; one usb c and a regular usb making it more versatile. Nice metal case with a swiveling cover and loop for keyring or lanyard. It's pretty small so try not to lose it.
I transferred about 14 G of music files to test it out. It's write speed started out pretty fast at about 50+MB/sec but after a few minutes slowed down to around 15 MB/sec. This is pretty normal for large file transfers to a flashdrive but likely will be fast for a smaller transfer.
I then transferred them back to my hard drive to test the read speed and was pleasantly surprised as it showed consistent 140+MB/sec and was done in just a few minutes. Very fast!
If somebody told me a few years ago that you could get 512 GB (490 free) in such a small device and this fast I would have had a hard time believing them (maybe not). I've used many Sandisk storage devices and all have proven reliable. Great brand!
It does get kind of warm when using it but the metal housing should act as a heatsink so it hasn't been a problem for me.

Designed For Convenience Be dialed in—all the time, everywhere and anywhere—with the Acer Chromebook 11. Recognized as the perfect multi-media companion, this special machine is super thin, extra light and delivers unmatched value in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world. It features an impressive HDR camera, fast wireless connectivity and a long-lasting battery life, so you can run your favorite Google apps or access your photos, videos, music and documents—all day long.

Good choice for an affordable and highly portable chromebook. Small size and light weight makes it easy for on the go use. Much faster than I thought it would be with a Celeron processer. Chrome with the ssd doesn't really need serious hardware for basic internet, email, or streaming. You can also do some good application work just keep in mind the limited storage of 32G. Mine shows 13.4Gb used by the system leaving 18.6Gb free but you can obviously use cloud storage or microSD or flashdrive as well.
This is my first chromebook but I've had several android phones and tablets so it was easy to adapt. (I'm normally a windows user for computers.)
No touchscreen but that's ok with me as I prefer to use a keyboard and mouse/touchpad. Keyboard and touchpad seem good quality and it makes my tablets a bit obsolete for me. I prefer to connect a mouse which works fine. It has two standard usb ports and two usb c type (either one of which is used for charging).
Won't replace my gaming laptops for serious gaming but should handle most apps from the Playstore. Great portability and internet use, you can easily take it almost anywhere. Kind of wish the screen was a bit bigger as the bezels are a little large but not too bad.
Good price, if you want a highly portable chromebook this is a good choice.

Circadian Optics is a maker of bright light therapy lamps that mimic daylight. Our designer lamps allow you to get the light you need, right at your desk. We designed this lamp to be an accent piece. With its asymmetrical segments, clean silhouette and integrated light panel, it is a functional work of art.
Posted by: InspectorGadget
Attractive design, looks good, works well. I do like it but it's a bit too bright for desktop use for me. It has 3 brightness settings but even at the lowest setting it irritates my eyes when on my desk. I have light colored eyes which supposedly makes them more sensitive to light. It's a little blinding for me on my desktop (I guess you could wear shades but that kind of defeats the purpose).
Still useful as a table lamp, will light the entire room well. Wish it included options to hang it but you're kind of on your own for that. Also would be nice if it was rechargeable but it requires the corded ac adapter to use.
Not ideal for me on my desktop but still useful for a multipurpose lamp especially where bright light is needed.

The SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System has crime-fighting features other systems dream about. With red and blue flashing lights, bright spotlights, two-way audio, and loud sirens, you can intimidate intruders and prevent crime from happening, and these features are controllable remotely in the Swann Security app. You get free local recording for up to 180 days+ onto the massive 1TB hard drive and the option to backup video to your Dropbox account. Know what’s happening at any hour with powerful infrared night vision up to 115’/35m and Night2Day™ gives you amazing color video at night up to 32’/10m. Swann’s True Detect™ heat and motion detection senses people and cars for more reliable monitoring and fewer false alarms. The 4K Ultra HD video and powerful digital zoom, the cameras let you actively watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, shop floors, storerooms, and customer service areas. With the Swann Security app, push notifications let you know what’s happening and you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can view any of the cameras on your smart TV, and speak to see hands-free via Hey Google and Alexa devices. The cameras plug into power while their video signal back to the NVR is transmitted wirelessly, so you don’t have to worry about drilling into walls and running cables anywhere. The NVR connects to your internet router via the included network cable or Wi-Fi, while the new SwannNet™ technology allows you to select whether each camera connects to the NVR or your home Wi-Fi, meaning you can choose whichever network has a stronger Wi-Fi signal. This gives you greater flexibility to place the cameras where they need to be, and their robust indoor/outdoor design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round. That’s the SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System – it’s another example of security made smarter from Swann.

Works well for my needs. Much better than my old cameras which were from other companies and included indoor as well as indoor/outdoor cameras. My indoor cameras still work well but have limited storage and the manufacturer keeps nagging me to pay for cloud storage. I don't want to pay a subscription fee for something I've already paid for.
My older indoor/outdoor cameras were ok. They were truly wireless as the cameras ran on rechargeable batteries but it had only 2 cameras and one of them would run down the battery after 20 min or so. Plus you had to take them down to recharge and put them back up. Batteries only last for so long (even rechargeables) and it was a bit of a hassle. They also had no storage and required cloud storage which led to more nagging for a subscription fee.
This one seems much better; you don't have to worry about batteries. True, you do have to plug them in but they include extension cords if needed. The connection to the hub is wireless.
4 cameras is perfect for me as I have 3 entrances upstairs and 1 basement. It has many more features than my older cameras (more than I expected) and great image quality. Easy to setup but you may want to allow some time to explore the options.
The app is good too but has room for improvement. Sends alerts well which is the main concern. Still much better than my old cameras which kept nagging me for a subscription (just get a new system). Hopefully Swann won't do the same. Has 1 TB local storage which should be good for awhile.
I like it so far. Reminds me of Tony Montanna watching his security cams (no coke though). Say hello to my little friend!

Enjoy a smooth gaming experience with this 27-inch ASUS Full HD monitor. The Shadow Boost feature increases clarity in dark scenes, and the ultrafast response times minimize blurring and streaking for seamless gameplay. This ASUS Full HD monitor has an ergonomic design that allows tilting, swiveling and pivoting as needed.
Posted by: InspectorGadget
ASUS is my favorite brand for gaming and this monitor fits well. Perfect size for my computer desk, it's big but not too big. My desk is a little bigger than most computer desks but I still have to sit a little close so anything bigger would be too much. I often play games on my big screen tv but I don't have to sit so close.
Not 4k but you really don't need 4k at this size. You won't begin to see a difference until you get to 50" + sizes and higher resolutions will only slow things down. 1080 looks great on this monitor and won't be an issue for most gamers. Trust me, it looks great.
HDR support if you want it and G-sync too for nvidia fans. Great colors with several modes to try for personal preference. Some modes override other settings so you may want to experiment with the settings to find your ultimate but the presets work fine if you just want to play. No real manual included, just a quick start guide but a better manual can be downloaded from asus which tells a bit more about the settings and specs. Also comes with hdmi and display port cables so you will be ready to go.
Great color and brightness, smooth and fast gaming, the high refresh rates and 1ms response are impressive. Makes gaming a lot more fun.
The only downside (a minor one) is the built in speakers. They sound kind of crappy and could have been left out unless you're really desperate. I'm a little spoiled with my external speakers + sub but they do include audio out jack which works great with them. Most gamers likely have a good speaker setup so this won't be an issue for them.
Good price for asus quality and an enjoyable gaming experience. thanks!

Nice mini keyboard. Good RGB lighting though I would deduct a half star since the special functions aren't lit making them hard to see especially in dim light. Not a huge deal though, I just kept a flashlight handy or the manual till I got used to their locations.
It is pretty small mostly by eliminating many dedicated keys. The spacing seems a little closer too but I quickly got used to it. It's my first 60% keyboard though I've been using TKL keyboards for awhile. If you're looking to save some space this will definitely help.
Good response for gaming. I especially like it for racing/driving games which are my favorites. I mostly use a steering wheel and pedals for them which take up most of my desktop not leaving much space for the keyboard. Also good for flight sim fans who use a yoke or joystick controller.
The software allows for good customization though not required it provides many options which can be saved onboard. No legs to adjust angle but it's quite comfortable without them for me. USB C connector at the keyboard easily disconnects the cord for portability.
This keyboard may not be for everyone as some will miss the dedicated keys. They are available with the Fn key but that may be inconvenient to some users. Just be sure you look at the pics and really want a 60% keyboard. Also no real tactile feedback but a nice smooth feel. If you want tactile feedback you may want to look elsewhere. You can remap the keys as well as macros, per key lighting, etc. with the software.
Good quality keyboard, nice feel, small footprint. A great choice for 60% form.

Wirelessly store files with this WD My Passport 2TB external hard drive that features wireless-N connectivity with MIMO technology, so you can stream up to 4 high-definition videos at once and access files from up to 8 connected devices simultaneously.
Overall
5 out of 5
5 out of 5Good game.
By YaNinja
The game is really really fun to play 2 players against the computer once you unlock the characters by earning points. It does play a little bit clunky (for example sometimes a player will get hit up and be in the air for way too long). Overall a really fun game, if you love anime you'll probably love this.
