Brother’s got your back
on January 22, 2024
Posted by: glspark2007
The Brother HL-L2340DW is a reliable laser printer suitable for basic printing needs. Its compact design makes it good for home offices or small workspaces. With wireless connectivity, it offers convenience for multiple users. The printing speed is decent, delivering sharp black-and-white prints. However, it lacks color printing capabilities, limiting its versatility. The paper handling is sufficient for light to moderate use, but it may not be ideal for heavy-duty tasks. I appreciated its easy setup and compatibility with various devices. And there was nothing to worry about with things like protected ink cartridges since Brother doesn’t do its customers like that. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those prioritizing cost-effective black-and-white printing in a small office environment.
In addition to its printing capabilities, the Brother HL-L2340DW is backed by excellent customer service from Brother. They are super responsive and offer support that’s actually helpful. Brother provides reliable assistance with any technical queries, ensuring users can troubleshoot issues effectively. The printer's warranty and customer service contribute to a positive ownership experience. This commitment to customer satisfaction adds significant value to the overall package. If you couldn’t tell, I had a less than stellar experience with my last printer and the two letter company that made it. Brother’s got your back and I’m sticking with them from here.

Just wow

Devialet Gemini II wireless earbuds are like magic. Seriously, the sound quality is mind-blowing! It's not just good; it's like having a concert in your head. The highs, mids, and lows are on point, making your music sound clear and full.
It doesn't matter if you're into classical tunes or upbeat jams; the Gemini II makes it all sound amazing. It's like discovering your favorite songs all over again.
Comfort-wise, they're great. They fit snugly, and you won't lose them, even if you're moving around a lot. But my ears don’t ache while or after wearing them either. The touch controls are easy to use, and the noise cancellation works like a charm, so you can say goodbye to background noise. These have some of the most effective active noise cancellation I’ve used when it comes to earbuds.
Battery life is solid too. Long wear time plus of course the charging case. Overall, if you love music and want earbuds that make your favorite songs sound incredible, go for the Devialet Gemini II. These earbuds are considered luxury and the price reflects that, but so does the quality.

Not what I was hoping for
on December 18, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
I really wanted to like this screen protector, particularly because it’s a lot easier to apply than using a full protective case for my watch. However, that’s also the problem because this doesn’t stay on as well. I was hoping these insignia covers would be better, but they presented the same problem I’ve had with all screen protectors for Apple watches. Because of the watch’s curved screen, screen protectors don’t stay on long-term.
Although the design of these particular screen protectors is somewhat better in that they try to curve to the shape of the Apple Watch face, there’s still a gap between the cover and the watch that if it gets caught on something lifts up the screen protector way too easily. That means that after all the work you went through getting the screen protector on without bubbles, you instantly have bubbles and a screen protector that no longer likes to stay on.
Initial application was good and fairly simple since it was designed like they do protectors for phones now. I did like that aspect. But it’s a waste of time if the cover won’t stay on which is what I kept running into and I have not been using this all that long. If you want to protect your Apple Watch, I suggest getting a cover that fits through the bands of the watch. They make some that aren’t too big, and they have a black border, so that it blends in with your watch better. If you’re like me, you bump into things a lot and you need that extra protection. Unfortunately, this screen protector was not the answer for me.

Subscription drawbacks
on November 29, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
The Arlo Essential 4-Camera Outdoor Wireless 2K Security Camera caught my attention as a promising security solution for its high-resolution video quality and outdoor functionality. Setting up the cameras was pretty much hassle-free. The 2K resolution delivered clear and detailed footage, capturing just about every part of my outdoor space.
However, the I wasn’t so thrilled when I realized that accessing the camera’s full potential required a subscription plan. Without it, you can’t view recordings from the cameras. You’ll get a notification but can’t actually view it if you don’t have a subscription. This limitation felt restrictive, especially considering the initial investment in the camera system. It seemed like the real value was tucked behind a subscription paywall.
Arlo’s subscription plans, while offering additional services, come at a cost that might give users pause. By this, I mean that you have to have a subscription to do almost anything with the cameras. If you plan to buy these cameras, you absolutely will need to plan on paying for a subscription. Otherwise, there’s not much point to even having the cameras…since you can’t view anything they record without the subscription.
An additional drawback is the absence of local storage options. Depending solely on cloud storage might not align with users who prioritize data privacy or want more control over their footage. Moreover, internet outages or server issues could temporarily leave users without access to their recordings.
Long story short, the Arlo Essential 4-Cameras delivers on its promise of security and video quality. However, the dependency on subscription plans for essential features and the absence of local storage options may be off-putting for some users. If you’re comfortable with a subscription and good with cloud-based convenience, the Arlo system could still be a suitable choice. Otherwise, you might want to consider alternatives that offer more flexibility without sacrificing essential features.

Pleasantly surprised
on November 22, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
I was pleasantly surprised by this band. I’ve tried a couple of others that are a similar style and found that the magnet clasp wasn’t strong enough to keep the band in place. That was not an issue with this Insignia band, but it was still easily adjustable and comfortable. One thing that does take some getting used to fitting the magnet clasp through the band. My hand is too big to just slide it over, so it was a little annoying when you’re used to the standard Apple band that you just snap into place. If you have a smaller hand though, that’s not likely to be an issue.
One thing that is also good to note for this particular one is I picked the wrong size by mistake, received the band meant for smaller Apple watches when I have the 45mm. It still fit and worked on the watch, so for people that want a little bit thinner band, that could be an good option for you.
The band had weight to it (so that it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy) but it also doesn’t feel like it’s weighing down your arm. It has a good balance that works and I love the black steel mesh design. I could see getting a number of styles to go with my watch. Since I only like to wear my Apple watch, having some options to change it up is great.

Not messing around
on November 13, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
Microsoft isn’t messing around when it comes to getting things done with the Surface Laptop Studio 2. It’s got the latest Intel tech and some heavy-duty NVIDIA graphics muscle. Translation: it can handle anything from heavy-duty work tasks to juggling multiple apps without breaking a sweat. And Windows 11? It’s like the laptop’s sidekick, making sure everything runs smoothly.
The structural design is very nice as well. It’s a laptop, but you can flip it into different modes to suit your needs. And the hinge is built for it; this thing can take a beating and keep going.
Now, let’s talk Windows 11. It’s like giving your laptop a superpower boost. The Start menu got a facelift, the taskbar got smarter, and multitasking is super simple. Plus, they revamped the Microsoft Store, so finding and updating apps is way easier.
The display is top-notch, and the Surface Pen is like a digital artist’s best friend. I’m not even close to an artist but was having a blast trying things out. For an actual artist, you can use this laptop as a canvas for digital art, design, or 3D magic.
Lastly, you can even game on this laptio. It has DirectX 12 Ultimate and Auto HDR and the NVIDIA graphics in this laptop are no joke, ensuring a lag-free gaming session. As
A bonus, Xbox Game Pass is included.
This laptop is kind of insane. It has the speed, graphics, and design to do what I wouldn’t normally need at least two different computers to do. It’s just all packed into one here.

Ah, Nostalgia!
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
Growing up, my grandma had one of the original Polaroid cameras and back then, it was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Cameras that print pictures right in front of you aren’t quite as amazing as they were back then, but the nostalgic value they give definitely makes up for that. And let’s face it, there’s also the novelty of printing a picture right in front of you for the younger generation.
I really like that they didn’t change the design all that much from the first generation of Polaroids because that’s in large part where the nostalgia and/or novelty lies. It FEELS like the old Polaroid in your hands, when you hold it up and aim, and snap that picture. And then when the picture pops out, it’s the same classic “Polaroid” with the tab at the bottom. I will say, I wish that’s where they’d gone a little more modern. The pictures aren’t exactly high resolution; they look like the pictures from the first-generation cameras too.
That being said, I’m ok with it. I didn’t take a star away from the picture quality because frankly, it’s all part of the experience. If this was any other camera, it would be a different story, but then, there is no other camera like a Polaroid. This would make a great Christmas gift. Just make sure it gets opened first so you can take pictures of the rest of the festivities!

Great value
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
The one thing I don’t understand about the Best Buy Essentials/Insignia phone accessories is why they don’t label them according to the generation of iPhone they fit (like iPhone 15). That’s how they’re listed online, but the packaging itself doesn’t say that. It reads, “iPhone 6.1” 2023”. Why label it differently than everyone else and by what’s listed online? That makes it confusing and harder to find in my view.
Ok, that aside, you can’t really go wrong with this case. I love the “soft shell” or silicone case design. It’s sturdy, but it holds up well and is so easy to slide onto a phone (but it also stays put). Plus, it’s pretty much one of the slimmest fitting cases you can get. It adds hardly any bulk to the phone, so you get the closest thing to a phone without a case…while still having a case. I usually get a color case, rather than the clear, but I actually really like this. I’ve also appreciated the sleek design of an iPhone and the clear case let’s you show that off without risking damage to the actual phone.
Best Buy, get with today’s labeling, it’s confusing like this. But otherwise, great case for a great price and I highly recommend it.

Gets the job done
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
These Insignia screen protectors do get the job done, although I don’t love the application process. Most screen protectors these days are packaged with an all-in-one application process, meaning the screen protector is attached to the disposable plastic applicator. This makes applying the screen protector to your phone almost fool proof. While these Insignia protectors do come with an applicator, they’re separate from the screen protectors. That means they can still move around when trying to apply, leaving you with a less than perfect application. It does work, but it’s just not quite as easy as other brands.
However, once applied, you have a good screen protector that stays on and does its job. Bottom line is, it’s a screen protector and it does its job. Personally, I think next time I’d spend a few more dollars to get one that’s easier to apply (trust me, I need the fool proof). However, if you don’t mind the application process being like this, then you’re good and this is a good value.

Stick with Roomba
on November 3, 2023
Posted by: glspark2007
I’ve had several robot vacuums, and for some reason, I also felt like I could find something equal to a Roomba without getting a Roomba. Don’t ask me why, and I’m finally convinced that Roomba is the first and best robot vacuum on the market. In terms of design, functionality, and useability, I’ve found that the Roomba is at the top of every list. Now throw in the iRobot mop combo and it’s kind of magical.
Make sure you follow the initial setup instructions for registering, pairing, and syncing. Then you’re set to use one of the best executed functions on the Roomba, mapping. The other robot vacuums I’ve tried just can’t seem to get the mapping function right. The Roomba though, it learns your home’s layout and that’s especially important if you have carpet and hard floors since you have both the vacuum and mop in this Roomba. You can only create one map though, so keep that in mind.
And then the best part, it cleans! It actually sucks stuff up! You know, not like some robot vacuums that just push stuff around the house. It reminds of the old I Love Lucy episode where, “It slices, it dices…”…except the Roomba actually works. I’m sold on Roomba and as someone who hates vacuuming and mopping even more, I will never go back.

Can the iPhone charge in the landscape position?

No, it has to be upright in the portrait position. It doesn't work in landscape, and the phone bumps into the charging location for the Apple Watch when in landscape anyway.

I'm have AT&T but plan on ordering through Best Buy because of $100 gift card. Why is it not showing up in my cart but Chromecast is? Do you have to activated it through Verizon to get the gift card?

The Google Pixel is exclusive to Verizon, so you won't be able to buy it with an AT&T account.
