Very versatile and sound great
on January 31, 2024
Posted by: Garfwiz
Overall, these are wonderful. I charged them up on the first day and when I pulled the first one out, my phone asked me if I wanted to pair them without any having to do any fighting.
Sound quality is really good and with the app I can set my own EQ or use either of the two presets. Most of the time the presets are perfect. I made one for podcasts just because I could.
The case holds a lot of power and they lasted over a week of use 3-4 hours a day and the case was only at 40%.
You get six choices of sized in your ear ends to choose from so fit is really good. Small, medium, and large in both silicone material and a memory-style foam.
The mic works well and no one could tell I was using them instead of talking on my phone normally and I didn't have to resort to speakerphone.
The included dongle makes using them on a compter as easy as plugging it into a USB-C port. The dongle is wide so it can block other ports if they are too close together.
For the down sides, the shape is weird to get out of the case and they slip out of my fingers really easily.
I also struggled to pause and unpause if I only had 1 in instead of both.
Overall, a very good showing from JLAB

Everything about a Fire Tablet you love but bigger
on August 26, 2023
Posted by: Garfwiz
I have used older Fire tablets, and they always just became overpriced Kindles after a few months. This one has the potential to be better. The form factor is better for movies as it is a lot taller then previous Fire tablets I've used. If you have it landscape mode, it splits the books into two columns/pages. Widescreen movies look so much better, and I can see much more of my email box when I have it portrait mode. The speed isn't great but it is good enough for a consumption type device. I'm never going to use this to replace a laptop. I might use it for some light office tasks as it is big enough to see documents and know where to sign with my finger or the not included stylus pen Amazon sells. I could see using some of the paid art apps as well.
There is a basic Microsoft Office app and that can be useful for reading documents but used need a keyboard and a Microsoft Office subscription to make the most of it. I have that and find it easy to use.
Overall, if you like the Fire tablets but wished it was bigger, buy this!

Must Have!
on August 26, 2023
Posted by: Garfwiz
I'm always disappointed by keyboard cases but this one was different. It has a very solid feel for it's thinness, and it has a texture so you can actually hold on to the cover and not feel like it's about to slide out of your hand. The keys feel okay, and they don't appear they will wear out too quickly. The touchpad is meh but serviceable and I'm not going to hold that against it. It also comes with the magnetic kickstand, and I love that. My older tablets I have to adhere the kickstand to the tablet so I couldn't use a different case if I wanted to change it up. The magnet it strong enough to hold but comes off if you want it to without leaving any marks or residue.
The stand held well when it used it without the keyboard and was actively playing games. I also like to use the kickstand as a hand hold when I read, and it held well. I wish it was a bit thicker for that, but I can't have everything.
I tried using the combo to write a blog post and write some emails and was very happy.

If you like to draw...
on August 26, 2023
Posted by: Garfwiz
I got this pen to pair with my new Fire Tablet and it does exactly what you would expect. It works wonderful for drawing apps and signing documents. It allows me to click on small links and icons on webpages that are not sized for tablets.
It did not wow me in any of those though. The different pressure sensitivity wasn't highlighted well in the drawing programs I used. It didn't make my normal day to day tasks all that much easier. I can draw with my finger; I can sign and annotate documents with my finger. I can zoom in on a website to click a link if I need to.
I did not try any high end paid apps. Maybe those apps would respond to the different pressure options the pen can do.
Battery life was good for the time I used it. It does use a AAAA (4A/Quad A) battery so it is not rechargeable and I would end up having to order the batteries online as it is not something I'm going to find while I'm grocery shopping.
Overall this pen is fine and that's why it got 4 stars, it's maybe not the pen but me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazed at the sound
on May 2, 2023
Posted by: Garfwiz
I got these as my last headphones got damaged and I needed something quick.
The comfort is amazing as they come with foam tips by default. They also have a bag of different one of they default aren't the right size. That makes it so they are really secure in my ears.
They don't have a lot of fancy features but they make up for it with sound. They sound incredible and might even be better then the ones they replaced. I compared the sound to some high end wired headphones and they were almost just as good.
They connect quickly and reliably. The pairing with my phone was super quick.
You can use just one of you need to keep the other ear open.
They also charge really fast and last for a long time. I used them a couple hours a day and they didn't need to be charged at the end of the week like others I have had.
Phone calls were very clear and they could hear me clearly without having to yell.
Overall I would rather these as a good purchase of you need something solid and don't care if there isn't a companion app to adjust eq

A really good gaming laptop, however...
on February 9, 2023
Posted by: Garfwiz
A quick summery:
Do I like this laptop? Yes, the hardware is incredible.
Does it have issues? Yes, there are issues that made it only 4 stars.
For the details:
If you want a beefy gaming laptop that is a desktop replacement, I think this will serve you well.
Even though the screen is awesome, you will not want to carry this thing around. It is heavy, but a good heavy. I had it set up in a dual screen set up where I have my tv for the things I don't need a high refresh rate on and could still game without the fan going to 100%. There is lots of cooling and airflow in the design. There is lighting of course, but you're not buying this for the lighting. You also are not buying this for the Alienware software. I found it to be a little buggy and maybe isn't optimized for Windows 11 as it seemed awkward to use. I setup lighting themes and next restart, they reverted back to static blue. Not a game changing thing, but I spend 20 minutes fighting with those settings, I think they should work when I expect them to.
Now for the parts that really lowered the rating.
The camera is not good enough. I've had super cheap laptops that have a Windows Hello compatible camera. This laptop doesn't.
Those same cheap laptops squeezed in a fingerprint reader. Missing in action here.
Finally, and a bit nitpicky, the lid is hard to open one-handed.
Overall, good laptop. Buy it for the screen and the power, don't buy it for the lighting or software.

Very solid performance
on December 21, 2022
Posted by: Garfwiz
I got these to replace an old set of earbuds that I wore out. I was surprised just how good they sounded and the range when I walk away from my phone. Music sounded good and podcasts were very clear. Using the Android app allows you to adjust the EQ using presets and custom setups. This allowed me to adjust just the way I needed. The original pairing was ready since I read the instructions to not cancel the pairing by mistake. I get a good 3-4 hours battery and they recharged to fill in about 90 minutes. I got 6 recharges before I had to charge the case. I customized the button presses so the volume and skip were where I liked them and was able to use even with gloves on. They came with different sizes of tips so you can fit them to your needs. Phone calls were clear on both ends and it did sound like I was far away. It also makes it easier to use for conference calls and still sound present and not like I'm walking around the room multitasking. I fully recommend these if you need a good set of earbuds.

Perfect if in the Samsung Universe
on August 28, 2022
Posted by: Garfwiz
I have used many different smartwatches over the years. I get very picky about style and functions and this watch ticks ALMOST all the boxes. My last two watches had a deep integration with Google Fit that is not here on this watch without some work. By default everything goes into Samsung Health and I'm not complaining about that. It is an excellent platform. I just wish Samsung Health and Google Fit would talk.
This watch has all the functions I need and a few I didn't know I needed. I struggled to get Samsung Pay to work but that wasn't a deal breaker for me as I limit my contactless payments.
The built-in watch faces are really good, but you can use WearOS watch faces as well. That is how I solved the issue of the two health platforms not talking. I found a watch face that could talk to Google Fit and then the watch still sent data to Samsung Health.
Notifications work as you would expect them to with a few different options if you want sound, just vibration, light up the screen, etc. I loved the ability to use the watch as a speakerphone, didn't know I wanted that until I tried it.
Finally, Battery life for me has been excellent. I played with it a lot the first few days and it still has lasted 4 days on a charge. That is the best I have ever had on a full smartwatch since my old Pebble Time watch.

Awesome Phone
on August 6, 2022
Posted by: Garfwiz
This phone is a awesome upgrade to my google pixel 4a. loved also how easy it was to set up this phone. so far only thing that irked me out of the box was the fact that you held down power button and it activated the google assistant but with a lil work i found where to change the setting and now it feels like my older phone. the search your phone is nice to find things you need quickly. upgraded camera makes taking photos alot more fun with magic eraser. The call wait time feature is nice because it gives you a general idea how long you might be on the phone for. Live translate is fun for when you go on adventures. Safety features help keep you safe and also keep your phone safe as well. Video quality is just awesome making streaming services and youtube vids just awesome to watch. plus you have the ability to customize the phone with pretty awesome wallpapers. Fingerprint reader is easy to set up and gets different angles meaning you can unlock phone in various positions. I will miss having a good old fashioned headphone jack. Phone is overall awesome upgrade and sweet.

Does what it says it will
on June 22, 2022
Posted by: Garfwiz
I got this laptop to replace a 4-year-old machine that was just looking a bit beat up and starting to get a bit slow. The screen was a bit smaller but that was the trade off to get the i7 instead on an i5. I like the laptop a lot and it does exactly what I wanted it to do. I have a few things to get used to, but none are a deal breaker. First thing is that the keyboard is very small to the base. There is a lot of dead space that might have been able to be used better with a different shape to the keyboard and track pad. The fingerprint reader for Windows Hello is also the power button so don't press too hard. Third was that it does not offer Windows Hello facial log in. I will miss that as it was faster than the fingerprint methods. Performance was really good and I was able to play a MMO on the highest settings that I would have used on my gaming desktop with only a few dropped frames. I will say that it maxed out at 12 fps but if I had tuned a few of the settings I'm sure I would have been back up to at least 60 fps again but it was still playable. Battery life was good, I was able to use it for normal things for about 4.5 hours before it started really complaining that it was able to shut down. I could have extended that too with a few tweaks but that was plenty of time for me. Overall, this is a solid laptop.

There is not a way to add another ssd.

Plus, setup is fast with the Linksys app, so you can enjoy the next evolution of Wi-Fi in minutes.
 

Does this have to run on battery?

You plug it in to the wall with an included power cord. It has a good size block plug that is longer then it is wide so make sure it has a bit of space around the plug

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 - 7" - 8GB: Juggle tasks at work and enjoy movies at home with a tablet that is portable enough for your commute and powerful enough to keep up with your busy schedule. The quad-core processor provides quick performance that your entire family will enjoy.
 

Out of the box, is only 4.69 gb of the listed 8 gb capacity normal?

This is the space available when I turned it on. I realize that OS and apps take up some space but this seems like a lot.
Yes! I recommend taking the office apps off and finding a smaller option
