Great machine for the money
on March 11, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
I really like this printer. I feel like HP has a good system. The printer was easy to unbox and setup with the provided quick start QR code. Basic blue tape, install ink cartridges and run the HP app. Since I already had the app I just hit add printer and the system did the rest. I will say that make sure you’re on the proper wireless network ahead of time since your printer will be joined to that. After setup I was prompted to run an alignment page that was self-explanatory. The next steps are to choose which free monthly trial you want for the first 12 months. I feel like 300 pages is a good standard qty, but your needs may be different. Also, you can select to pay more to include paper, but I did not feel like that was worth the added costs. I also like the fact that you can roll over 90 days’ worth of prints so if you’re going to print more you can save what you did not print. Now to the scan to email options. Since I already configured these shortcuts. I was able to apply them to this printer, so no additional configuration was necessary. After printing many different types of documents over the past few days. I feel like the print quality is clear and excellent for an inkjet. HP already shipped me ink for replacement which was fast. However, now to the cons. I experienced a few times where the printer errored, or the job did not come out. After rebooting the printer eventually printed. The reboot time was the fastest I ever experienced. I did see a firmware error a few times, but this printer was not meant for me to play tech support so I just rebooted and continued printing. It seems like things have stabilized because the last few print jobs came out fast and complete. The driver installation was just ok but since I am familiar with IT it was a non-issue. I wish there was a qr code or website where they gave an auto installer. Instead, I needed to type in the model and install based off a list. That does not seem low tech and end user friendly as I hoped. Other than that, it is a great all in one machine.

Great sound but not for active activity
on January 27, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Pros:
1. Excellent sound quality with deep bass.
2. Various normal rubber ear tip sizes and Foam tips.
3. Reliable Bluetooth connection directly to your pc or mobile phone. Also includes a dedicated usbc adapter for lower latency connection to PC/Mac.
4. Excellent battery life complemented by a nice metal charging case.
5. IP55 sweat and water resistance. (did not have any issues when working out)
6. Intuitive touch controls for easy playback and call management.
7. ANC was pretty good out of the box
8. Mobile APP to adjust sound profile
Cons:
1. Limited color options may not suit all preferences.
2. Hard to pull out of case.
3. They did not stay in my ear while running.
4. Mic for Teams/Zoom calls was just ok.
Summary:
The JLab Epic Lab Edition Wireless Earbuds offer premium sound quality with great bass, comfortable wear, and reliable connectivity. With anc, long battery life, and durable design, they cater to audiophiles and some active users. The dedicated USBC dongle was nice to be able to connect these to my desktop at work and move to my laptop without worrying about Bluetooth pairing issues. While color variety is limited, these earbuds will provide an excellent experience for anything other than active sports. I found that they fell out of my ear when running and working out when I laid down on a bench.

Getting close the PCIE 4 limits
on January 10, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
I was looking forward to seeing if this can beat my high performing SSD and the limitations of PCIE-G4 currently. In summary I think we are getting close. I tried the stock 1TB OEM SSD that is a PCIE G4 and the game performance can be choppy at times. The initial logging in can be choppy. I think this is attributed to the drive’s limits. Then I moved onto a high-performance other brand Gaming 2TB PCIE G4 SSD and that added that little extra performance. The system runs smoother overall. The benchmarks were definitely better. Now enter the Crucial T500. When installing the drive, I was not sure how much it could improve. I followed the guides for Disabling Core Isolation in Windows 11. Then I proceeded to play some gaming matches in Forza, Fortnite and GTA 5. The performance seemed a little faster but it was hard to express how much. I did run a synthetic benchmark pictures attached. The speeds are better and worse by a little in some aspect but the drive so far is the best I have used. Crucial is very accurate on the advertised specs. That being said it is still running Windows and all the other things in my tray while this test is run. Pretty impressive. The only other thing that I was looking for was the improved battery life but that was hard to find since this is a powerful gaming laptop running an RTX 4090 so it would be hard to spot. Overall, I am very happy with the performance and the price point of the drive. The only other concern is if one was looking for more performance than waiting for PCIE G5 drives to come out with the 2024 line of notebooks yet to come or being announced currently. I feel like we are at a limit with the spec standard.

Smart shower has its uses and limits
on January 6, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
When I heard of this I was very interested in how smart my shower can be. The installation was about 10 minutes. Just needed plumbers tape and a wrench to get my old head off. This replaced a pretty robust head that I had with a solid amount of water pressure. I was worried it would feel weak. After install there was a quick mobile app and pairing via bluetooth. Then after a fee showers I started to see our water and energy savings. Now it all clicked in what this can do. It seems like it keeps the pressure high but uses less water. I can literally see the savings in the app after each shower. The only cons are the feel of the shower handle feels like it is going to be slippery when I remove it from the top. However that has not been the case so far. The other con is the slight noise you hear when the shower is on. I assume that is the propeller system that is saving me the water. To save water/energy the light noise is totally worth it. The other possible con is the light. It is supposed to show you when your water temp has been met and when it goes over the limit you set. However that is not a detail we pay attention to when showering. You can turn it off in the app. Definitely a nice product if your looking to save money on water.

Reliable and Convenient Bluetooth Keyboard
on December 4, 2023
Posted by: KKCNIck
Pros:
Seamless Bluetooth Connectivity: The Insignia Bluetooth keyboard effortlessly connected to my device.
Full-Size Comfort: The full-size layout and well as the scissor style help to provide a comfortable typing experience. The keyboard design does make it quite to use
Long Battery Life: Impressive battery life.
Build Quality: The build quality is commendable, with a sturdy construction that gives the keyboard a premium feel. It can withstand daily use and transportation without showing signs of wear.
Compatibility: The keyboard being Bluetooth capable, it will be compatible with all types of devices making it extremely user friendly
Cons:
Key Sensitivity: Some users may find the keys a bit sensitive, leading to occasional unintentional key presses.
Lack of Backlit Keys: The absence of backlighting might be a drawback for users who prefer to work in dimly lit environments. It would be a welcome addition for future models but again for the price point it is acceptable
Connectivity: I personally still prefer a keyboard with a dongle versus Bluetooth but overall, not a bad product for the price
Conclusion: The Insignia Bluetooth full-size keyboard excels in providing a reliable and comfortable typing experience. Its seamless Bluetooth connectivity, long battery life, and sturdy build make it a practical choice for various users. While there are minor points for improvement, overall, it's a solid investment for those in need of a dependable Bluetooth keyboard.

Ok but not really that reflective
on December 2, 2023
Posted by: KKCNIck
The packaging was nice. They included a frame for install and 2 complete sets of installation materials. Basically just need to use the wet wipe to clean your phone. Then dry wipe to clean that off. Finally wipe with a micro fiber included. Then use the large sticker to pull any remaining dust on the screen. Pull the back cover off and place into the frame. Then spread from the middle to the edges to get rid of all the bubbles. Finally remove the frame. It did not seem much more anti-reflective compared to the other protector I had on it. However on the outer edges of the sides you can see the protector is just a little too small so I can see when looking at that part of the screen. Also I had a few dust marks on the first screen protector so I had to install the other right away. Besides that it works as advertised and is priced competitive considering you get 2 in the box. Also they did include paper instructions in english and spanish which is nice considering most products do not include that these days.

Modern Do it all Dock/Hub
on November 27, 2023
Posted by: KKCNIck
This is a nice modern dock for powering your laptop/tablet with one TB4/USBC cable to extend to dual monitors, usbc ethernet/hub. Also, there is a front USB 3 type A for charging your smartphone or in my case my wireless keyboard and mouse adapter. I like that it included a nice powerful 150w adapter, so I am able to charge all of the different devices I have from tablet to my gaming laptop. The gaming laptop is getting limited power, but it works. The make is a nice cool metal, so it takes up little space and does not get hot. I thought the initial connection was fast. There was not much delay in getting everything working. I thought there would be some time for drivers to install but it was pretty instant. There is a light indicating power which helps to know it is on. Other than that, there is not much more. I am even thinking of mounting it to the back of my monitor for a sleeker look. Now to some of the cons. It would have been nice for a usb c to usb a adapter, ethernet and usbc to HDMI so that I had all the cables necessary to configure the device. Fortunately, I had them. As for the daisy chaining 6 devices. I can confirm it will daisy chain to another Thunderbolt 4 dock which powered all my existing connections. I see the use of this allowing me to have my work setup and this for powering my personal devices without having to use my work dock or switch cables. A very well-built product at a fair price. I only wish there were different colors to make it more fun like black, white and navy blue. Belkin makes quality products for my experience. I feel like this will last a long time.

Nice simple clear case.
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: KKCNIck
I like the feel of this soft plastic clear case. Installation was simple and it fit with my screen protector. I think when getting a affordable case like this your after looks and low profile vs protection. There is a decent amount of lip protecting the camera module. As the the screen it has a raised edge along the top and the bottom but pretty flush on the sides. It maxes my max really easy to hand hold. The downfall is that the case is smooth and can get slippery quick. I worry about dropping it since there is very low protection. As for the clear look. It shows the nice navy blue of my phone and has a slight textured look on the back. However it is not MagSafe so does not work with a lot of my chargers. I need to lean on usbc cabled charging. To be expected for the price. The buttons are easy to press and accurate. As for the cut out on the bottom. There is a decent amount of room so that ia good since that is the only way to charge the phone. The only concerns I have are if it yellows overtime or the slipperiness of the case. In a warm climate this phone can fall out of your hands fast.

The cube pro makes cleaning floors easier than ever. High-efficiency vacuuming and high-quality mopping keep floors spotless. Sophisticated laser-based object avoidance ensures the job gets done without hangups. And with a full Auto-Empty Station that self empties, washes and dries the mop, you can keep your hands free from cleaning. Handy, indeed.

Nice vacuum/mop combo
on November 1, 2023
Posted by: KKCNIck
Initially the concept seems unique since my current connected vacuum does not mop. The setup was pretty smooth. Unbox the base and remove a few packing materials. Then connecting the brushes, mop pad and water cap to the vacuum. Finally I downloaded the Yeedi app. I created an account by simply adding an email and password. Just need to scan a qr code on the vacuum under the water bottle. Then I just hit the play button on the app to start the first vacuum. The first job does the mapping of your home so plan on cleaning up any loose items on the floor otherwise the vacuum will get caught or destroy them. During vacuuming it is loud but not much more than other connected vacuum cleaners. When it returns to the home it is very loud. My dogs were barking at it for about 5 min which was distracting. Then you hear the drying of the unit for about an hour after the cycle. This is not loud but concerning that it is taking up unneeded power in the home. The app overall is very well done and switching from vacuum to vacuum/mop was easy. Also I was able to select just a room and pick if I wanted a quick clean or full clean. As for the quality of the clean. The vacuum was great and everything seemed clean. The mop was just ok. It seems like it just wiped a light clean on the floor so anything that needed a little more scrubbing was ignored. It did not leave streaks or water behind which was nice. I do have concerns on how much work there will be to keep the water holder on the vacuum full. Also to keep the dirty water reservoir clean and prevent mold from building over time. This was not a factor now but just thinking ahead about the maintenance. Ultimately the loud noise when returning to home and the hour long drying is a non starter when I am trying to keep my energy consumption down.

Fast printing
on October 27, 2023
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing the printer was standard. I needed to lift the printer out in the Styrofoam packaging to get it out of the box. Then your typical setup of removing plastic tape that held certain components during shipping. The only issue I had was the sticker on the front of the printer advertising 2 free months of ink with their monthly service. It took me 25 minutes to fully take it off as it was just coming off in little pieces. After turning it on I downloaded the HP Smart App. I had an account already. I just clicked add printer and this printer showed up. Then it prompted me for my wireless password and then the printer was connected. I printed through the mobile app and it went fast and the page was crisp and dark since it is a laser printer over ink based. I went to scan, and this is where having no display panel was odd. I had to use the HP app as my display panel to scan. It seemed like a lot of steps to scan 5 pages to my email address. I tested this again for work purposes the next day and when scanning 4 pages in color it failed to upload. Ultimately, I had to use the app to scan to my phone vs the printer to get it to go thru. There is a small display for copies, but it is limited to qty and double sided. While on that. The printer was fast printing double sided copies. This printer was one of the fastest home printers I have had in years. Shame it is only black and white and not color. There are multiple plans for the monthly printing subscription through HP and really the only way to go. You can skip this and purchase the toner cartridge, but the cost is $50 for 1100 pages so depends on how much you print per month. I just really miss the display panel as to scan it requires my phone and that is too much of a hassle.

Best Iphone Yet
By KKCNIck from montgomery, il
It is a huge step up from the original IPhone. Each Year they get better and better. This year finally the most needed thing (larger Display). I only wish the 2 features in the plus were in this and it would have been perfect. Full 1080p display and the optical Image Stabilization. The Plus is nice but its practically a tablet and really should have been able to have those features in both. Otherwise very happy with the upgrade.
