I have owned several gaming over the years and this is arguably the lightest gaming mouse I’ve used. That said if you are disappointed because of its weight, then obviously this is not the right mouse for you as there are other mice that you can even add on weights to make it heftier. Weight aside, let’s go on with the review.
As mentioned, earlier this is arguably the lightest mouse around and reason being is that the bottom is partially hollowed out as shown in my picture. But for those wishing a hefty mouse, I wish Turtle Beach should have included weights for the mouse though personally I prefer lightweight mice myself.
One of the reasons why this mouse is also light weight is that it includes a rechargeable battery unlike other mice that use at least one AA battery and for other models even two. The mouse can be charged with the included charging cable which they label as Phantom Flex.
Do note that this charging cable is not only for charging as it also act as a mouse cable should you want to be wired. It also has a USB adaptor for compatibility. But there are also other ways to connect this mouse to your PC. It also has a USB dongle, BT and 2.4GHz wireless. I am testing this unit right now using this mouse via USB and it seems to be very responsive.
The mouse itself is pretty much standard and is symmetrical. The keys found tin the mouse itself is pretty much standard as it includes a scroll button, the left and right click buttons, a toggle switch for dpi performance and two programmable side buttons. Turtle Beach claims there are more programmable buttons, but for me I am already satisfied with this setup. And lastly, the mouse include additional skates for smoother movement.
Overall, this is a very decent mouse which has all the features of a gaming mouse but aimed for those wanting a really lightweight mouse. So for those preferring a lightweight mouse, this is the right mouse for you.

A decent entry level laptop
on June 14, 2024
Posted by: msumulong
The Asus Vivobook Go laptop is Asus' line of entry level laptops. This specific Vivobook sports a Celeron N4500 which by today’s standards a bit outdated. Also, it has only 4GB of RAM. So by judging by these two specs alone, this will not be a speed demon. That said, this machine is still able to run in Windows S mode.
Build quality of the laptop is fairly robust although it is made from plastic. I like the fact that you can lay flat the laptop giving you the options on viewing the screen though I would have preferred a laptop that can tilt 360 degrees. But then again this is not a hybrid laptop. But in fairness, there is no squeaking when tilting the display.
Battery life of this laptop is fairly good which is fair since more advanced laptops have a rating of 10 hours or so. But then again, laptops back in the day have a battery life have a max capacity of four hours. As for connectivity the Asus Vivobook Go has an HDMI port, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port and a headphone jack. Quite surprisingly, this laptop does not have an SD card slot. It still does have a VGA camera for video calls though.
One nice touch given to this laptop is that Asus converted is that the touchpad can also be used as a numeric keypad. This can be useful should you have a lot of encoding on spreadsheet apps. And to top it off, this laptop comes in with a free one-year subscription of Microsoft 365 which is a $70 value.
One gripe I have with this laptop though is its tendency to lag. And as mentioned earlier, this is no speed demon and RAM is only 4GB. Hoping that it should have had an i3 processor and 8GB RAM, but then again this is an entry level laptop. But if you just need a basic machine, this should be sufficient. I would still recommend this laptop.

An easy to install TV mount
on June 10, 2024
Posted by: msumulong
Sanus has always been the go to mount for TVs and monitors. The 19”- 43” full motion is just but one of the many mounts that they produce. And it just so happens that I have a 43” TV that needs mounting.
Using a Sanus mount is a fairly easy thing to do. What you would essentially need is a drill with corresponding drill bits and a stud finder. The Sanus mount uses the Versa mounting template for the back of the TV or monitor. Just screw the back plate to the TV. Now position the mount itself on the wall. Be sure to use a stud finder so that you can screw the mount securely. If there are no studs, make sure you use anchors for the screws. If you are not sure how to do this, it’s best that you get a professional to do it or find a friend who is familiar with mounting TVs. As a matter of precaution, this preferred to be a two man job but in reality an experienced installer can do it by himself. Once you securely attached the mount to the wall, all you have to do next is to attach the TV by ‘hanging” it to the mount. And there you go! Installation should take only around thirty minutes. It’s easy peasy! And once installed, you can pull the TV outwards the wall and not only tilt it up and down but also swivel it left or right. And once you’re done watching, you can easily place back the TV on it’s original position.
I would easily recommend Sanus mounts not only for its reputation but also for its ease of installation and use.

The Apple Watch is definitely the most ubiquitous smart watch in the market today. But like anything Apple, you would have to pay for an Apple tax for its accessories. But thanks to its ubiquity, the are numerous alternatives to choose from certified accessories to plain old Apple knockoffs. Thankfully, the Insignia Silicone Apple Watch band is a legitimate product.
First and foremost, the Insignia Silicone watch band is priced at a lower price than Apple’s Watch band. Moreso, it comes in a box of three silicone watch bands. The colors that came in my box included black, blue and a light olive drab color. This color combination is already suitable for my needs as I change clothes. But most likely I will stick to the generic black color.
But then again, the million dollar question arises. How does it compare with an OEM watch band? Well, when I opened the box, I have noticed the quality of the watch bands is similar to that of Apple’s which is a good thing. Of course the design is similar to the original band so as not to be labelled as a copy cat product. There is a slight variation in the holes of the Insignia band which are rectangular compared to the round holes in the original. These bands when attached to the Apple watch give a firm magnetic lock so you can also be assured that it has a good latch onto your arm.
As such, in the brief time I am using these products I can say that the quality matches that of Apples and I would gladly recommend this to others.

The HP4200e series is HP’s new line of printers. HP being the pioneer in inkjet technology, it comes to no surprise that HP often comes uo with newer models every year. But truth be told, inkjet printers have been around for several decades and one would wonder why should one consider this model.
First, is that the HP 4200e series is very compact. It has a modern looking (with curves) design which is a step away from the boxy designs such as the HP 8030 series it had prior to this release. To further make it a compact printer, HP has designed the back sheet feeder to be foldable as well as the front paper tray so that over all the footprint of this printer is compact as much as possible. There is a downside to this unfortunately as the back sheet feeder can accommodate only up to 60 pages I believe and as compared to up to 150 pages with other models. But do note that the HP4200e series is aimed at home and student users which in my opinion is sufficient for most uses.
One thing I like about this printer is that its scanner has an automated sheet feeder. For some this may not be that important and that a flatbed scanner would suffice, but for me an automatic sheet feeder is crucial as I convert a lot of documents into PDF format. But for those who don’t do a lot of scanning HP also a model without an automatic sheet feeder. And being a printer intended for general home use, this printer no longer has fax functions.
And like most printers, this printer is wi-fi enabled. And though you can still connect this printer via USB cable, it is no longer encouraged by HP as can be seen that the USB port is covered with tape. But the main advantage of having wi-fi is that this printer is HP Instant Ink. But unlike other printer brands, HP actually sends you the ink cartridges. Other brands just give you an alert when ink is low and you have to pick it up yourself.
And lastly, since this printer is intended for home and student use, printer speed is not quite fast at 8.5 ppm. I would have wished this was faster but other than that, this is a fine multi function printer. I would highly recommend this.

A great budget electric shaver!
on April 20, 2024
Posted by: msumulong
The Philips Norelco Shaver 2600 is an entry-level or budget wet-dry shaving system from Philips Norelco. Overall the Norelco Shaver 2600 is not much different than other shavers from Philips. One thing though is that functionality wise it does not fall far behind other models.
First of all, the build quality is nothing to write home about. It is made from plastic but still has a rubber coating. Do note that other Norelco shavers are made from plastic but this specific model seems to be of lesser quality. That said, it is still a wet and dry shaver.
It has a decent if not long battery life. Once fully charged, the shaver can operate for approximately 50 minutes which is actually quite long. Charging the shaver is done through a proprietary USB-A cable. However, I wish Philips have just used an ordinary USB cable whether Type B or Type C. Also, a power charging plug is not included. But then again this now applies to all Philips Norelco shavers.
Powering on the shaver is pretty straightforward. Just push the button. But unlike other models, it has only on power setting. Also, there is no power meter but the unit flashes just in case power is low.
It also has a pop up beard trimmer which is a nice touch. And lastly it comes with a travel pouch. And while it is not a hardshell type of case, the canvas like material is enough to protect the unit.
And finally, while the Philips Norelco Shaver 2600 is ot premium model, it pretty is capable. As such, I am recommending this in spite of being a lower end model.

It serves a specific demographic
on April 6, 2024
Posted by: msumulong
The Lively Mobile 2 Medical Alert System is a simple device that may be of importance for someone who may be an emergency risk. Being a recent amputee, I thought that this device may be of help in my situation.
Prior to use, you must activate and register by providing your account information. After registration you may now charge the Mobile 2 device by placing it in the base station. Upon charging, you will receive voice prompts indicating that the device is charged and ready. Also, you will be notified if service is available.
Usage of the device is fairly simple as there is only one button to press to make a call and a customer service assistant to answer your. This assistant will coordinate everything needed for your situation. This also includes connecting to 911. Using this device is easy peezy. There is a power button at the back of the device should you decide to turn off the device for whatever reason. Do note that the device powers on when charged.
That said I still have musings about this device, And please don’t get me wrong here. The main reason or my musing is that smart watches and cell phone can replicate the functions of this device. To note further, there is a monthly service fee also involved whereas there are no additional charges for using a smartphone and smartwatch combo. And this also covers fall risk.
So, is there still a use for this product? The short answer is yes. However it will more for a specific demographic. This device actually works. But I firmly believe this device is for the elderly and technology averse. For some people, operating a smartphone is still complicated and thus use older technology. This device would be perfect for them. But for the younger generation or technologically aware demographic, the value or utility may be of question.
So prior purchasing device is for you to fully assess if this is the right device for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An efficient yet affordable laser printer
on January 21, 2024
Posted by: msumulong
Laser printers came about way before the advent of ink jet printers. I remembered the time the time you can print various fonts and graphs albeit in black and white way back in the day. Dot-matrix printers ruled then. And to beat, printing speed was up to par with photocopying machines. But it came at a cost. Mostly offices used laser printers. And home users were still left with dot-matrix printers. Then came inkjet printers which took over until today. So the question is “Are laser printers still relevant today?” The short answer is “yes”. And the Brother HL-2400D black and white laser printer is one such example.
The Brother HL-2400D laser printer is generally an entry level laser printer suited to small office or home use requiring volume printing. As mentioned in the product description it a black and white printer. But it is safe to say most users just print text and not pictures. And as for graphs, black and white is still acceptable.
It is a no frills printer with the size comparable to a shoe box for boots. And it is not an all-in-one printer but straightforward printer. And this particular printer is connected via USB cable. But quite unfortunately no USB cable is supplied. Seriously Brother? Luckily for me, I have an old USB cable lying around somewhere. And for those wishing for a wi-fi connection, there is a wi-fi model available with similar features.
As for the printing features, this printer has as far as I know has a print rate of 32ppm which is three times the 10ppm of most inkjet printers. To add, the standard cartridge of this laser printer can print up to 1,200 pages. And if that is not enough for you and you still want to save money also, there is an XL version that can print up 3,000 pages. In either case, you won’t be switching cartridges as often as ink jet printers.
So really, this is a no frills printer but does the job efficiently. I would definitely recommend this printer.

The Best Buy essentials™ - Portable Apple MagSafe and Watch Case is simply what it is which is a case. One of the hassles of having multiple devices is the fact that you would have to deal with different devices. The Best Buy essentials™ - Portable Apple MagSafe and Watch Case is no exception to that. And having two cables can be a hassle at times.
This case is a simple case that can tuck in your two most common charging cables namely the MagSafe charging cable for your iPhone and your Apple Watch. Made from silicone materials, the case snugly tucks both cables in one convenient package.
Once attached to the portable case, both your Lightning cable and Apple Watch charging cables and be wound in each of the folds of the portable case. Once wound in the case, the charging case can be folded like a bi-fold wallet or more likely a purse since it has a strap to keep the portable case from not opening.
Once folded, the portable case lives up to its name and is easily portable that it can fit your pocket in your jeans. This case is really convenient and there is not much to describe this further aside from the fact that it is very handy and portable. I would definitely recommend this case to others.

24" FHD 3-Side Borderless IPS Monitor with FreeSync
Posted by: msumulong
The LG - 24" IPS 3-Side Borderless FHD 100Hz AMD 100Hz Freesync Monitor or simply the LG 24MR400 is a basic monitor for general use. As mentioned in the description it is a24 inch monitor which in my opinion good for most people meaning it’s size is good enough for general home or small/home office use and/or casual gaming. It is also described as borderless monitor but in truth as in the case of other brands of monitors, it is not exactly borderless as there is around a half inch bezel in the monitor. Regardless, this is still way better than the really thick bezels found in previous monitors.
The LCD screen is matte but when turned on is quite bright. I couldn’t get exactly the number of nits but for me it is somewhere between a glossy screen and a really flat colored monitor. It also boasts of a refresh rate of 100Hz which is still short of the usual 144Hz found in most gaming monitors but still higher than the usual 75Hz. So again this is middle of the road – not spectacular but not bad either.
The build quality is quite plasticky but then again it would not really matter-at least for me- since it would be sitting on a table. And like all monitors, it comes partially assembled – meaning that the stand is not yet setup in the screen itself. This obviously is intended to save space in packaging. But no worries, assembly is quite simple. Just attached the stand pole to the base and attach the monitor to the stand pole. No tools are even required.

But no worries, assembly is quite simple. Just attached the stand pole to the base and attach the monitor to the stand pole. No tools are even required.
Connectivity is pretty much simple. It has an HDMI port and a D-Sub port. However, I wish it had dual HDMI ports rather than its existing setup so that I can setup my PC and Mac without buying an HDMI switch. A power brick is also included in this monitor.
The LG 24MR400’s operation is pretty much simple as it has a button at the back which also acts as a D-pad. Also, I have noticed in the back that there are holes for a VESA mount should you decide to use one. The LCD can also tilt for better viewing angles but unfortunately, the height could not be adjusted.
This monitor in general has nothing to write about but then it is not bad. It’s simply a new model that can handle today’s requirements. So in spite of oits seemingly lack of killer features, I would still recommend this monitor.

By rangerdon
This is a fine camera in many ways, but after losing some photos and a conversation with Panasonic, I learned that you must use the included panasonic software to download photos. (I use Picasa.) That makes the camera less than 5 star, since iPhoto would have the same problem - so if you buy this, and it is a fine piece of equipment, use their photofun software to downloard

Internet not exactly slow and processor not bad
November 24, 2016
The wifi performance is good. However I found it odd that when I used fast.com to measure speed, the phone registered 20 mbps which by itself pretty good if you're using a phone. But since I ran it simultaneously with my pc, my pc had a 70 mbps. Also the processor is not bad. It is not the latest and is commonly found in low end or rather entry level android phones. If you want a better phone you might want to consider the POP 4S which is similar but has an octa-core processor at 1.8 GHz, 2GB RAM 13 mp camera with a fingerprint sensor at $170. This sells for $150. So the $20 dollar difference is worth it. But the Black Friday deal sells at $50. So I got this phone. :)

I wanted to like this phone. The specs were just fine. The screen was just fine. The only complaint I had was that the phone reboots frequently. Fresh off a factory reset, it would constantly reboot before I could even set it up. As a software engineer, I am disappointed that software like this can even be released. This is not the way to showcase a brand and the reason for many returns on otherwise perfectly fine hardware.

Letting it rest seems to do the trick.
December 11, 2016
A lot of Alcatel models are like this including my Pop 4+. It seems that if you have a boot loop, let the phone rest for a few minutes then restart. do this even if you have wiped data. But this shouldn't happen at all especially for a new phone.

Alcatel uses older underpowered cpu which slows performance compared to currently available android marshmallow phones. Alcatel does support adoptive SD card storage unlike LG and Samsung. Dual sim is a plus. Needs better processor to be competitive.

POP 4S has a faster processor
December 11, 2016
as mentioned in the title, if you need a faster phone get the 4S. It has a 1.8Ghz processer and 2GB RAM. There are three POP 4 phones - POP 4/POP 4 Plus/POP 4S wherein the 4 Plus is the mid-tier POP 4 phone. But for $49.99 during Black Friday, why not?

By Reona945
The phone keeps restarting even though the battery has more than enough charge. I've tried a hard reset and that hasnt helped. A factory reset stopped the cycle and i managed to use the phone for like 20 minutes and the phone restarted. When we ordered the phone, we also ordered a case from a third party. At first we thought the case was pressing the power button because it was a tight fit but it didnt seem right. There was also an incident i had in the past with the one touch evolve that was exactly the same. I would like to hear back and now if this can be fix :) Have a nice Day!

2 out of 5Reboot loop
By Proz
After having the phone for less than 1 month, I took it on vacation where I didn't have service. On the way my phone started to restart randomly. When I arrived at my destination the phone started into a reboot loop. If I caught it booting up quick enough occasionally I could navigate for a couple minutes. Even after I was able to get wifi connected and any other setting I thought could affect it such as gps location disabled the phone continued into the reboot loop. After researching on many blogs and andriod q and a sites I couldn't find a helpful answer to remedy the issue. I reluctantly did a factory reset but the loop continued. Finally, after returning back home I attempted to use the phone and it returned to "normal". I am very dissatisfied and I am generally very easy to please. I will be looking for another device to replace this asap.

seems to be the gps

I also did the factory reset to ease the symptoms. But it seems to be the gps module as then random reboots often occur when I am in my car and mobile. Also when I use Yelp and try to get directions, the phone restarts. No problem when I'm home though.

4 out of 5Good quality, but issue with 4G
By Praveen
I purchased this phone on black Friday because bestbuy was selling at $50, the phone had 2-yrs warranty, and Alcatel is one of the few good brands. I was excited about this purchase thinking that I paid only $50, but my excitement did vanish in a couple of days when I found that the phone restarts itself. After keeping an eye on the phone for a few days, I found that it restarts only when I drive or I am in a remote area. I googled about the issue and luckily found the reason behind restart. I am using T-mobile connection and had turned 4G LTE on. The 4G LTE service of T-mobile is not available in all areas of ABQ and therefore whenever I drove in areas where T-mobile signal was weak, phone used to restart. My phone never restarted in my school or in my house as T-mobile signal is excellent in these places. To fix the issue, I changed the network settings in my phone and set 3G as the default data service and after that it never restarted.
So, if any of you are facing restart issue, just stop using 4G LTE and use 3G. This solution worked for me. Hopefully it might work for you,too.
My finding is - this phone supports 4G only if the strength of the signal is excellent, otherwise, it restarts itself. But I don't know why doesn't it ,like other brands, work in case of bad signal. My friend has samsung phone and she never had the restart issue though we go to all the places together in the same car.
All other features of this phone are like samsung phone - my the most favorite brand. I haven't observed any other issue and the phone works like charm. Speed, sound quality (the default music player doesn't have equalizer, so you might try VLC music player), picture+video quality, and call quality are just superb. Finally I started loving this phone.

Alcatel is aware of this issue
March 13, 2017
I called tech support and was informed that there is an issue with this phone. Alcatel promptly replaced my phone with newer firmware and presumably hardware and the problems of random reboots have gone.

Is the reception strong? And will it work with post pay plan?
Reception is quite strong. Also it is capable of wifi calling in areas with weak coverage. And it will still work with a post paid plan. Your SIM must be a nano SIM though.

How much available space you get after you activate the phone?
Around 2.8GB left after the phone autoupdates after first opening it. A lot of junkware is installed. Can't seem to port file to SD card though. Still it serve its purpose.

Will printer and Office be compatible with Windows 7
I am considering purchasing HP or Toshiba laptop with Windows 7. This will be upgrade from Windows XP. Will my present printer HP 3100 series be compatible and can I download Windows Office that I have now?
Often printers drivers are update like my HP 1401. If it's the HP Photosmart 3100 series, there are updated drivers. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=447811&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us&submit=Go%20û
Most computers now have a trial version of Office 2007 Home & Student which you can purchase and activate. I also believe you can also download other versions from the Microsoft site.

what do you think of MSI laptops?
How would you rate MSI laptops against other laptops for general applications?
MSI is relatively new and build quality is a bit shoddy. But slowly it has been improving over the years. Specs wise, it's a value for money system.
