Excecllent Choice To Build A Great Gaming PC
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
I’ll start this review with a note about some BIOS / Windows version issues. You need Windows 11 24H2 for Wi-Fi 7 support and the BIOS from the factory has a bug specifically with 24H2 that prevents video output. So, the very first thing you should do is update the BIOS (available on the asus website). This is just normal best practice with a new motherboard, but it’s really critical for this specific model – assuming you want to make the most of what you just bought.
If you want fast, this is the board for you. Between Wi-Fi 7 support (even only with 160 MHz support) and the 2.5Gb Ethernet port, you’ll have no problems with connectivity. Fun fact, a normal Gigabit Ethernet port maxes out at about 950 Mbps, so you’ll never saturate your Gigabit home internet connection without moving to 2.5Gb Ethernet or a fast Wi-Fi connection (assuming your AP also has 2.5 or above Ethernet backhaul).
USB ports are also fast and I appreciate the inclusion of a Thunderbolt port. Note that the USB PD is limited to 5V/3A (15 watts), so you won’t get fast charging (25 watts) or super fast charging (45 watts) on your phone. Not a huge deal at all, just FYI.
Speed does come at a price, as the socket LGA1851 CPUs are spendy, but that’s what you can expect when you get the latest bleeding-edge device. Everything else is pretty standard RE: RAM, M.2 slots (though PCIe 5.0 support is nice), SATA, etc. Can’t really speak to all of the “AI” features of this board, but I guess that will come with time.
End of the day, great choice and I would (and have) reccomend to a friend.

Great Portable, High-Power Laptop!
on December 1, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
OK, this is my third Dell - XPS 13 model of laptop that I have tried and it is, by far the best...
My first Dell - XPS 13, was essentially a brick. You could power it on, but after a few times of "sleeping", it would not power on. The only way to get it back up was to old-school disconnect the battery. That sounds reasonable, but with modern laptops, yiu can't just remove the battery and plug-and-play it back on. You have to remove the back with severa tiny screws, remove the battery connection and disconnect/reconnect the battery. Not cool.
That said, Dell was GREAT and immediatly replaced it. The replacem en thas been awesome. The only problem is that the backlit keyboard on that model was silver-blue in color. Well, the backlighting being a white-silver made the backlighting often no-existant. This Dell - XPS 13 - Copilot+ PC beat that issue by having the keyboard black. It's a very nice backlight experience.
Another major difference is the function keys are not a classic standard key. They are hard-loaded on the top row above the classik keys. That'skind of a cool feature.
As far specs go, I am not going to go into any of that since it readily available from BB website, Dell website and my many great fellow reviewrs. Suffice ti to say, that tech specs a reblazing and the performance certainly matches to adverised specs.
One important note, most components are built into the motherboard so this is not an upgradeable PC. But that's OK, since most users of this unit will not be game-chasing PC users. This is an excellent choice for persoanl. student and business use. And yes, it can certainly handle most hardcore gaming, but most hardcore gamers will go with a purpose built gaming machine.
End of the day, this is an excellent choice for a high-end, portable laptop. I would reccomend it to a friend!

Great Compression Boots!
on November 21, 2024

Great compression boots!
This is my first Sharper Image - Powerboost Boots. I have long used a high end brand of compression boots and these less expensive boots do the job almost as well.
So both my wife and I are officers in a major Denver-metro fire department. In our duties, it is vital that we (along with our crews) remain in the highest level of physical condition. That said, we are also the "eldest" amoingst our crews when it comes to working out on a daily basis. And being the oldest, our recovery from working out is NOT what it used to be. These boots are a great device to help recover from hard leg days, or even difficult fire calls where we are on our feet fighting fires for hours.
While these Sharper Image - Powerboost Boots are not as customizeable as the ones I have used, they do the job almost as well. The head unit has a 5 customized settings. After using all 5, we both agreed that the "Pulse" and "Gradual" settings are our preferred modes.
While the ones I have are able to to operte off a rechargeable internal battery, this unit requires to be plugged in. That is the only reason I ma rating these with 4 stars instead of 5.
Great boots!

Dyson WashG1 Is A Beast
on November 12, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
This thing is a beast!
Over the years I have had the opportunity to use Dyson products and I have yet to be dissapointed. This Dyson WashG1 is no different.
In typical Dyson fashion, they are on the premium end in price but also qualty. This WasshG1 most certainly has a high quality feel and build. Setup was simple and use is intuitive. inside, you have the cleaner, it's handle, the base and the charging cradle thagt attaches to the base. From unboxing to use was maybe seven to ten minutes.
We have a fairly large house with 2800 sq feet on the main level, half of wich is hardwood. We also have a 2800 square foot basement that is mostly all hardwood, and then the second level is another 1500 square feet with the hall and bathrooms are hardwood. This WashG1 hndled the main and second floors easily on a single charge. To get the basement, I did have to recharge it, but that is not a knock, it's honestly a great endorsement.
As for the clean, have no fear. This unit lays a nice layer of water and has no problem sucking it back up. We also have a finicky dog who is quite selective about the kibbles he will and will not eat. This unit had no problems picking those up and depositing into the "dry" bin.
Clean up up pretty simple... Remove the dry bin, empty, rinse replace. I will say that it is built to very tight tolerance and removing the tray the first time took some solid handling.
Once that is done, empty to dirty tank, refill the clean tank and you can have it run the self clean mode that cleans the brushes and internalportions of the unit.
End of the day, this is an exceptional hard surface floor cleaner. It comes with a premuim price, but it is also a premium unit.
Great choice.

Versatile And Affordable Air Fryer
on November 5, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Over the years I have had the opportunity to use several air fryers. While they all do pretty much the same thing, each one has it's unique qualifications that make it a little different from the others, whether that be simple single knob controls, advanced touchscreen controls, muli-use availability or dual/quad cooking area's.
This bella PRO - 4-qt. Touchscreen Slim Air Fryer offers the advanced digital controls and multi-use (as mentioned above), but is also offers a unique cooking surface that bella calls EverGood ceramic in the cooking "basket". The Evergood ceramic (in my testing) offered a few nice features: the cooking was even, the food did not stick and it made for simple clean up. Regarding cleanup, the basket is dishwasher safe, but the EverGood ceramic made wiping out grease when it was there to assure a great clean.
As for use, I mean it's an air fryer. It's simple to use, intuitive and looks great. For multi-use, you can use it as an air fryer, you can bake, reheat, broil and roast.
One of the times we use air fryers is during Thanksgiving, Chrstmas and large gatherings. We can pull out the airfryers that we have and cook different foods at different times and tempuratures. It also saves having to fire up the 220 volt oven for longer periods of time. The convenience is great!
The only drawback (if you can call it that) is that it tops out at 400 degrees. I know, that should be enougyh for most applications, but sometimes you need 450, 500 or even rarely, 550. That said, that is really the only place I could find to critique.
If you are in need of a versatile and affordable air fryer, this is a great choice. End of the day, I would certainly reccomend to a friend!

I really wanted to like, but dissapointing...
on October 24, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Well, I was really hoping for more out of these Samsung - Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless Earbuds...
The good: Very nice design and a high quality look and feel. The sound is OK (more on that later), but not really any better than several of the other higher-end ear buds I have used from the TIN program.
It was also brilliantly easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S 24. I already had the Samsung Wear on my phone for the Galaxy watch so apiring it was as simple as opening the lid for the Buds case. It immedialtely alerted to my phone and I accepted the pairing and I was up and going.
The Wear app has some nifty features including ANC setting, Sound quality and effects, Earbud controls, Earbuds settings and Find My Earbuds. Each of those is pretty self explanatory so I won't go into specifics.
The touch controls in the "blades" work well and are a pretty cool feature but not really any better or worse than others.
OK, so now the "bad":
I am used to (and really, really like) being able to manipulate my earbuds with one hand when removing and replacing the buds bacl to the case. The way these buds and the case are designed, when removing and repllacing the buds, you need to turn them about 180 degrees... I do not llike that. I don't understand why they designed them that way. I know this is probably just a personal thing, but it's worth noting.
Secondly, and again I realize this also is a "me" thing, but even with the largest eartips, they don't feel like they fit well. And to add to that conclusion, when I run the "Fit Test" from the Wear app, they also conclude that it's a poor fit. O know, my big-old man earholes are not most peopes concern, but for us bigger folks, it is dissapointing that the fit negates some of the ANC.
more.
End of the day, they are OK, but for a premium earbud, I would expect
more.

Type, sketch, view and read with the Combo Touch keyboard case. A flexible kickstand and a full-size, detachable keyboard give you multiple use modes for any task. Take iPad further with a bigger trackpad that gives you superior, intuitive tracking experience with familiar Multi-Touch gesture controls.

Another Great Logitech Product!
on October 18, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
My entire family is Android specific, with one odd exception... My wife. She's is in love with her Apple eco-system. I don't know why (nor do my kids know why), but she loves it. So when the opportunity to get this Logitech - Combo Touch for iPad Air 13, I jumped on it knowing that was her iPad...
I have had countless experiences with multiple Logitech products over the years and I can confidently say that I have never had a negative Logitech experience. This Logitech Combo Touch continues that legacy...
Packaging was confident yet minimalistic. The Eco folks would appreciate this.
This unit has a great feel of quality... The keys are confident and the touch is immediate.
As I handed it over to the wife, she had it connected straiuight-away and was using it alomost immediately. That said, I am confident in saying that ease-of-use is great.
After several days of use, this unit is unquestionably an integral part of her iPad and she LOVES it!
End of the day, I would recomend it to a friend who is Apple centric!

Great audio made easy. Meet Wave Neo, a plug-’n-play mic that captures everyday moments at home, in the office, or on the go. It may be easy to use, but to your listeners you’ll sound oh-so smooth and professional. So you can unmute and speak with newfound confidence.

The Elgato - Wave Neo Wired Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone is a great choice if you have need for it!
My daughter (we live in Colorado) has a best friend who lives in Indiana. They are both multi-instrumentalists, singers and original songwriters... Not to brag, but between the two of them, they have over five-hundred songs written, and about two-hundred of those are co-written collaborations between the two if them. As mentioned, they are about 1100 miles apart. But thanks to modern technology, maintaining on-going collaboration is not only possible, but realtively easy.
And here is where this great microphone comes into play... They use a computer recording program that allows for real-time online and offline recording, editing and mixing. When she switched from her previous microphone to this one, the sound quality improved noticably. It was not a drastic improvement, but certainly available to the ear to easily discern. The lows are richer, the highs are crisper, the vocals are "cleaner", the guitar and keys are brighter. Just better sounding all around.
This is not a studio quality mic, but those can run by orders of magnitude more than this one. For4 most consumer grade uses, this will make a great choice. Nice sound, affordable, easy to use and very attractive form.
Well done Elgato!
End of the day, I would reccomend to a freind!!

Good Choice for AirPod Gen 1-2 Case
on October 13, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
The Best Buy essentials Silicone AirPod Gen 1-2 Case is a good choice. The Best Buy Essentials line is a value line that still offers high quality builds, good design and a great value ratio.
While most of my family is Android specific, for some odd (and yes, we ALL think it's odd) reason, my wife is an Apple fan-girl... She has several pairs of differing AirPod's that she uses for different reasons... She uses the Gen 2 for when she jogs rides her because because if one were to fall out and get damaged, she wouldn't care. Then she uses her AirPods Pro 2 for the gym and for basic walks... And finally, she travels with her AirPods Max...
Apologies, I digress... I only bring this up because one of the quirks of Apple is they have so many AirPods generations that it's important to be wary of what precise generation of AirPod you have as this product only supports Gen 1-2.
End of the day, if you have Gen 1-2 AirPod's, this is a great value. Quality is good, it'san attractive and durable option.
I would (and have) reccomend to a friend.

Great, Versatile, Attractive Appliance!
on October 13, 2024
Posted by: Posted1
Very cool unit!
The Ninja - DoubleStack XL Smart 10 QT air fryer is a genius design! It is surprisingly compact yet offeres a totalof 10 quarts of airfrying capacity. But what's cool, is they break it up into two 5 quart drawers. To make it even cooler and more functional, each drawer can set for a different time and temp. In addition to all of that, each bin has an optional wire grate so you can cook 2 seperate items at the same time in each bin.
This was clearly designed with a small foot print to save counter space. It was also designed to fit on the counter and slip in just under the cabinets of most modern houses. My house is a little older and it is just about a quarter inch too tall, but it should great for most.
If that is not enough, it also comes with a built in thermometer so you can get that chicken (or whatever else) to the perfect cooked temp and remove whe it's perfect. They thought of everything!
I have had multiple Ninja products over the years and I have never been dissapointed. So far, this air fryer meets my previous experience. Overall build quality is great. It's easy to use, intuitive and stunningly versatile!
The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is that the chord strikes me as unusually short. I wish they would have added a few inches to the chord length. Other than that, this is an excellent choice and I would reccomend to a friend.
