perpetual license is the way to go.
on November 18, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from Ewa Beach
I don't use a photo or video editing program regularly so a subscription based app is not economically reasonable for my use. I have used free based apps in the past but there was much to be desired. This perpetual license is perfect for me or anyone who only occasionally uses. There is a learning curve but for the most part it is intuitive and the processing of photos are relatively quick and simple. It's incredible how the automatic features saves so much time and gives beautiful results that look great.

great mouse
on November 1, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from Ewa Beach
I previously had a logitech M705 mouse and I can honestly say that this one is so much better. It looks strange but is actually very comfortable in the hand. Ergonomics are great. On a reflective surface the tracking is not good, but i use a mouse pad and it is accurate and easy to use for Autocad. The best feature is the slde scroll wheel, that thing is awesome for panning on a large page. I can move around left-right with the sidewheel and up/down with the center wheel. The side wheel feels very good, with a damped weighted feel. The center wheel has a totally different feel and is lighter in operation. they really should make both wheels the same for a more consistent and integrated operation. That my only ding on the mouse. The battery life is great and a quick 15 top up with USB-C will last a few hours. I have gone over a month without charging.
Awesome mouse, best yet from logitech.

built like a tank
on October 22, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from Ewa Beach
First impression is that this keyboard is built like a tank. it is solid and super heavy. I was surprised to pick it up and feel the weight of it. I have never felt one this heavy before. once you put it on your desk it stays put and doesn't side around. I wish is had an adjustable angle but it is fixed flat with no provisions for lifting up the top end. It uses an internal battery (no batteries to replace) so completely wireless via the USB-A dongle or bluetooth. It charges via USB-C (came with cable) I have used this for a couple of weeks using the backlight and still on the same charge so it lasts a good time, recharging is fairly quick and you can use it while charging so no down time. The backlight is soso, you can see the light bleed from around the keys, I would prefer only the letters light up. the keys remind me of a laptop with individual chicklets, but the feel is really good and easy to get used to. The form factor is really great it is a fullsized keyboard but it is compact and does not take up a lot of desk space.
Overall a good keyboard and it replaces my logitech MK700 which I have used for years without issue. I have no doubt this will give me many years of use also.

works great, little on the large size
on October 3, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from Ewa Beach
I tried using this USB ethernet adapter on my workstation in a 3.0 port and the transfer speeds were great, I ran some speed tests and they all came back around the same as the built in GB ethernet on the workstation, in some cases slightly quicker. After doing a 9GB transfer the adapter was a little warm to the touch but it did not throttle down. This would be great for trouble shooting a bad port or for a laptop if wifi is not available.
The only negative I have is on the size, it's rather large, over 2" in length. Where as a similar type that came with my laptop is only 1.5" long. The construction feels premium with good strain relief and feel. Its not a cheap knockoff looking product but seems to be high quality.

charges laptop, phone and table simultaneously.

Awesome charger. This one charger replaces 3 that came with my devices. I can charge my LG Gram 13 latop, iphone and ipad at the same time! perfect solution to streamline my charging. It has enough juice to charge my laptop while I'm using it and is much more compact then the stock laptop charger that came with my laptop. This is a wall wart with a folding AC prong so its easy to pack. It's a little heavy but I guess that's to be expected with a powerful charger. Even when charging all three devices at the same time it does not get hot, its' warm (96d F) but not hot to the touch. Good stuff.

luxury headphones
on July 26, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from hawaii
If there is such a thing as luxury electronics this would be the definition of it. The build quality and materials are second to none. Precision craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident throughout the build. Specs wise, it has all the basic modern features, USB C charging, all day battery life, 2 levels of noise cancellation, soft and comfortable leather headband and ear cups. It uses physical buttons that have a tactile feel so you know what you are pressing and are easy to find. I like this much better then the touch sensitive buttons on other headsets that you have a difficult time finding and are not always responsive. Ergonomics are perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. The ear cups are over the ear and there is no pressure on your earlobes so it can be worn for hours on end without discomfort. You really need to see it in person and feel it to appreciate how much of a premium product it is.
The sound quality if NC (noise cancellation) off is quite frankly terrible, it sounds tinny with no base and harsh treble, I would compare it to a $5 set of ear buds. But, turn on NC and wow! This thing really transforms, the bass is deep and full, the mids are crystal clear and the highs are smooth. In extending listening sessions I get no fatigue. The NC works well and blocks outside sounds so you can listen at a low volume but still get the impact and enveloping sound where normally you would have to crank it up.

super light
on July 16, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from hawaii
First impression of this laptop it is super light. The lightest laptop I have ever used by a far margin. I currently have an Asus Zenbook and this is considerably lighter by a far margin. When I got the box in the mail I actually didn't know what it was, I didn't think that a laptop was inside. it felt like an empty box.
Feature wise it's pretty bare bones, no fancy double screen, or secondary control panels. But, what it does have is functional and works well. The lighted keyboard has a good tactile feel, the track pad is responsive and accurate (but the right click is a little picky, need to hit just the right spot to register). The IPS touch screen is responsive, bright with good viewing angles, but the screen bounces if you tap it. The screen holds any position well and tilts way back for stand up use but using the touch screen causes it to bounce since its so light. Speed is great and boots really fast. The finger print reader is perfect and has worked on the first try every time, just press the power button to turn it on and it reads your finger print at the same time.
nice upgrade-able design, I have already added a second drive (1TB Curcial P1 m.2 NVMe) and 16GB SODIM, now this little laptop is fully capable for my use.
A couple of critiques from me. The power adapter is really flimsy feeling, I think this will break quickly, they should have shipped with a USB-C power adapter since it is capable (this will be my next accessory to buy). A sleeve didn't come with it, I'll have to buy this too. Other then that, no complaints. If you want a super light and portable laptop that will last over 10 hours put this at the top of the list.

Enjoy quality network programming with this Terk ultra-thin HDTV antenna. Two-sided mounting tape makes wall and window installation possible, while a slim profile takes up very little space once installed. Multidirectional reception design makes adjustments unnecessary, while white and black sides allow this Terk ultra-thin HDTV antenna to fit into various decors.

not much better then a non-boosted one
on June 19, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from hawaii
overall fit and finish looks great, and seems to be of quality construction and it does pick up over the air stations. BUT....its not much better then an regular non powered antenna. This antenna still will not pick up the CBS station in my area (which is around 13 miles away), so it was a disappointment. The signal level meter is helpful to position the antenna along with the iphone app to find the best general location to aim it. For my location I could not recommend this type of flat antenna.

add bluetooth to anything with a headphone jack
on May 13, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks
from hawaii
my first impression was not so good I had trouble paring my airpods, took several frustrating attempts before I finally got it to work. Once I got it paired it worked flawlessly. Range is not bad, I can get around 25-30 feet from the transmitter before it falls out. sound quality is very good, clear with no distortion. I use this on my computer and using the PCs USB jack for power some of the ports give static to the sound but others do not. just need to try different ones to get the best sound.
its really easy to use. if my airpods are paired to my phone and I want to use it on the computer, i just turn on the adapter and it automatically switches. super easy to use.

great small form factor
on March 15, 2019
Posted by: DHCrocks

If you're looking for a tiny USB this is it. It's perfect for a permanent installation on a laptop to increase storage memory. It's small enough that it doesn't stick out much so unlikely to get knocked off or broken. it has a small loop that you could attach to a lanyard or keychain but I would not recommend this as there is no cover for the USB plug. I get the same transfer speeds as my regular full size USB sticks but in a much more compact package. Downloads about 100MB/s and uploads 20MB/s. It comes with one year free flashback subscription which will backup the USB drive to the cloud , after the free year it is $4.99 a year for 128GB which is not too bad.

This LG CordZero vacuum has everything you want, from Kompressor technology that lets you clean more and empty less, to two rechargeable batteries that deliver up to 120 minutes¹ of uninterrupted cleaning. But why stop there? The Power Mop attachment gives hard floors a perfect finish—without messy buckets or harmful chemicals. Simply fill the reservoir with water, snap on the attachment and go.
 

Hi. Can you use the mop (without water) to apply hardwood floor cleaner to the floor? This would make life a lot easier!!

yes, that is what I did. I just sprayed some cleaner on the floor and then used the mop to wipe it up, so much easier then doing by hand.

can you vacuum and mop hardwood floor at the same time?

no I recommend first vacuuming then then mopping. The mop turns off the vacuum and only spins the mop heads.

Hi - Can you dry mop with this? Meaning could I mop without any water? Can it just spin? Thank you!!

yes don't have to use water. but it doesn't vacuum and mop at the same time so you won't pickup anything, just push it around.

On the Samsung website it sates that this version has a chargeable stand. Not one that you have to drill into the wall or mount in the wall like the 75 version. Yet bestBuy dose not have it mentioned. Dose this one have the stand from Best Buy?

yes it comes with a free standing charging dock. just drop the vacuum on the stand and it stores and charges. has a place for a second battery also if you get one. The base is heavy and sturdy so it won't fall over. you don't need to mount it to anything.

Are the rechargeable batteries removable?

no, they are built in and not replaceable. It charges really fast, I think a 15min charge will give you a few hours of use. but you can also use it while charging from USB-C so no downtime from work.
