This speaker looks and sounds great. Great bass and audio quality. Setup was very easy as well, after connecting to the Google Home app, casting Spotify to the speaker was working within seconds. I was also able to easily connect with Bluetooth after with a simple NFC tap. Battery life is also really good, easily lasting all day. If you're looking for a great sounding AND looking portable speaker, look no further.
Pros: Sounds great, looks great, lighting effects are very cool, easy setup, responds easily to Google Assistant commands, excellent battery life
Cons: A bit heavy for a portable speaker

Very mobile and easy to use

This vacuum is very versatile and powerful. We have a mix of hard wood, carpet, tile and a couple of shag rugs. This vacuum has no problem with each type. Switching modes is very convenient as well, with the switch located comfortably on the handle, along with the power button. I can't believe I haven't used a vacuum in the past with these options located so conveniently. The "lift-away" portion of the vacuum is also extremely useful. Much easier than lugging around the whole vacuum around to clean the stairs, and it's great for cleaning out the cars as well. There isn't much I didn't like about this vacuum, except I sort of wish the brush roll part of the vacuum was a bit wider. I'm used to covering a bit more area at a time, but on the positive side, this allows me to get in some tighter areas, so some may consider this a plus.
Pros: Very versatile, nice looking, good power, convenient controls, lift-away is great
Cons: more narrow brush roller area than I'm used to (could be a positive for some)

Very easy to set up and I'm getting great speeds from all my devices, wired and wireless. The only potential downside of this modem is that it is pretty physically large.

Nicely priced, super slim monitor
on August 21, 2018
Posted by: dustinw
from Broken Arrrow, OK
First off, this monitor is very slim, and nicely designed. It looks really good. Color and response time is also really good. With the addition of freesync, it makes this monitor even more desirable to gamers, helping to elimate screen tearing. I'd say the only real negative this monitor has, is the lack of a display port input. Though that can easily be solved with an adapter.
Pros: Great picture, two HDMI inputs and a VGA, very nice looking, very slim
Cons: no displayport input

Excellent power with a cool look
on July 22, 2018
Posted by: dustinw
from Broken Arrrow, OK
You get a lot of bang for your buck with this laptop. If you're looking to do some gaming while you travel, this is an inexpensive way to do it. The price is impressive for the performance you get from this laptop. I have tried a few games (Killer Instinct, Gears of War 4) and it has ran them without issue. Gears ran at a pretty solid 60 frames per second at 1080p with character text details set to high and most other setting at medium. Killer Instinct ran perfectly at 60 fps with maxed settings. The only issue I really have with this laptop would be it's battery life. Though, to be fair gaming is very demanding on hardware. Using the laptop's balanced mode, I am getting around 5.5 hours. Not terrible, I just wish it was a little better. I'm sure once I stop pushing it so hard, I'll squeeze more life out of it. While not critical, I do wish that it was a touch screen as well. Obviously many will not care about this particular feature, but I think I would be nice to have on it.
Pro: Cool look, excellent performance, price, nice hardware
Cons: no way to change backlit keyboard colors that I could find, no touch screen, battery life could be better

Beautiful design and function
on July 22, 2018
Posted by: dustinw
from Broken Arrrow, OK
Very nicely designed laptop that packs quite a bit of features into it's sleek design. The ability to rotate the screen around alone makes this laptop very versatile. However, HP has included some extra touches that really help it shine. Using in in tablet mode with touch is very nice. The screen is very responsive. It also supports active stylus as well, which I haven't yet had a chance to use. But, I could see sketching on this to be really great. Especially with the different angles you're able to place the screen. It's like a portable mini studio. The Ryzen processor has performed very well for my use this far, with no noticable issues. I tried to do a little gaming with it, and it did ok, but that's not really the purpose of this laptop. If you're looking for a sleek, versatile laptop for creativity and productivity at a very reasonable price, you can't go wrong with this one.

Good alternative to in-ceiling speakers
on July 14, 2018
Posted by: dustinw
from Broken Arrrow, OK
While in-ceiling speakers may provide better sound, if they're not an option, or you're looking for some good height speakers, these definitely fit the bill. Great sounding and looking speakers. And, they won't take up a lot of space either. They come with some no-slip feet and backings as well, if you're planning on mounting them on the wall, or on top of other speakers. In my setup, they're used for Atmos overheads, bouncing sound off the ceiling. They work much better than I anticipated, allowing for more immersive movies and games (that support 3d positional sound).
If you're looking for speakers to enhance your setup, these should work well.

Great features and and hardware
on June 27, 2018
Posted by: dustinw
from Broken Arrrow, OK
This is an excellent receiver for it's price range. You get high end features like positional audio support with Dolby Atmos and DTS X. HDCP 2.2 on ALL HDMI ports. And speaking of which, enabling HDR takes no effort or additional settings, it just works. This can sometimes be a headache on other receivers I've used. Great sound as well, and very easy to set up with the included mic. If I had to nitpick anything with this receiver, is that I wish it had one more HDMI input, but 5 are fine for most setups, I'm sure. Another minor thing - the remote is rather large. It looks nice and feels great, and it has this cool diamond-plating-like texture on the back. Just seems a little too big. It seems to switch inputs and to HDR quicker than other receivers I've used as well. The menus are very snappy, though its design may not look quite as nice as some others. But, as easy to use as this is, you probably won't have to spend much time in them after you're all set up. A nice little note too - the receiver detected My PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. It automatically set the input names for them. Pretty nice touch.
Pros: Dolby Atmos, DTS X, great features, super easy setup, great sound
Cons: Large remote, could use one more HDMI (5 a probably enough for most)

Easy to use and portable

This tablet makes drawing on the go possible for your laptop. I did some quick sketching, and while wired it was very responsive. While using Bluetooth, it was still very responsive, but I did have an occasional jitter. It wasn't often at all, and it didn't really affect me at all. This is an excellent tablet for drawing, or doing some photo touch ups. It also has some customizable buttons at the top that can really help with your productivity.

Great Value

You got a lot of features and bang for your buck with this receiver. Dolby Atmos and DTS X support, along with the ability to connect to a 5.1.2 speaker setup is very impressive at this price. Another great supported area is dinner if the newer more advanced video features, including 4k, HDR (HDR 10, Dolby Vision and HLG). Sound Setup is easy for the most part. The included microphone listens at your sitting position and adjusts the speaker volume for the optimal experience. The sound quality is really good, especially if you have the option to take advantage of an Atmos setup. Be sure to set your input to the "enhanced" setting under the source format HDMI settings for HDR support on the receiver.
Pros: Features! Atmos, DTS X, HDR and 4k, easy setup
Cons: the lack of on screen menus for all options can be a bit frustrating at times.

Can the vacuum mop??
This model does not mop. Though it is capable of working with a mop robot as well.

Get up to 30 hours of battery life with quick charging capabilities, enjoy an enhanced Smart Listening feature set, and carry conversations hands-free with speak-to-chat.
One of my biggest pet peeves with headphones I have had is that I cannot charge them while I am using them. Can these be charged while in use so I don't have to interrupt what I'm listening to?
They cannot be used while being charged. You can however use them with a 3.5mm cable, even if they are dead. These will also fast-charge, meaning you can get about 5 hours of life with a 10 minute charge.

Tackle your biggest demands with quadcore powered 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, blazing NVIDIA® graphics, and high-resolution PixelSense™ Display designed for Surface Pen* and touch.
What is realistic battery life of the 15 inch Surface Book 3 (i7 - 16GB - 256GB) if only running Microsoft Office software and surfing the internet ? Does this computer have a longer battery life than the 15 inch Surface Laptop 3 (i7 -16GB - 256 version?
I've been really impressed with the battery life I'm getting. In less demanding tasks, like browsing or code editing (probably similar to Office software as far as the power required). I'm getting over 12 hours with the factory battery settings.

Train like a pro with this 44mm Fossil Carlyle HR smartwatch. Bluetooth functionality enables syncing with your smartphone, while the internal storage lets you work out with your favorite tunes. This swimproof Fossil Carlyle HR smartwatch features GPS to track your activity outdoors, and the heart monitor keeps tabs on your cardiac rate.
I am just starting to look at smartwatches and this caught my eye. I have a Samsung android smartphone and I would like to be able to download my iTunes library from my computer or ipod to it. Is this possible? Then can I sync it to my wireless beats?
I'm not positive on how it would be with iTunes, as I haven't tried that. You definitely can download songs onto the watch though, and leave your phone at home while you listened just using your watch. I'm just not positive on the iTunes library.

Step into virtual reality with this Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset. The advanced optics produce a sharp display with bright, vivid colors, and Oculus Insight tracking removes the need for external sensors to convert movements into virtual reality. This Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset has a fit wheel that secures the headset with a quick twist.
Ok so there is the oculas quest no cables nothing like that but limited space and this one has wires and more games and more which one should i get?
The Rift S requires a PC and the Quest does not. The biggest difference will be quality of games. Rift S games will look much better, but require a decent PC. The Quest has roughly the graphical capabilities of a very high end phone, but doesn't require a PC, which allows you to just jump in and play.
