Fantastic for the person on the move
on December 22, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from MUKWONAGO,WI
This 2 in1 has a very premium look and feel . It is very light (under 3lb’s), thin (.5”) and well made. The keyboard is very nice and has very nice backlit keys. The touch screen is a high gloss finish which looks and responds well. Since this version of Windows has Pen support I purchased one to get the full tablet experience. I can now write directly on the screen to take noted etc. So far it works very well. I wouldn’t use as a sketching pad per say, but very nice for notes and using as a mouse. This machine comes with Windows 10 S Mode which was new to me. Basically it is designed to work like a tablet with an App store for all your software/App needs much like all of our smart phones. I think this premise behind this is security. However Windows App Store is pretty limited as to what is available. So you may not find some of the apps you are currently using. You do have a choice of switching from this S mode to Windows Home, however you cannot switch back.
This Yoga C630 has only 2 USB C ports (one on each side). This is a little bit of a bummer since everything I own to this point is standard USB (phones, USB drives, External DVD etc.) I get that this is the wave of the future, but I would have at least liked one connection for my mouse. Not a huge deal, I simply purchased an adaptor until I catch up to speed ;-). Also on the right side you have a mic/headphone jack.
Stereo speakers are on located on the top instead of being buried in the bottom or out the sides. Nice job Lenovo. Sound is adequate and as expected for this thin of a case.
Battery life is fantastic, best I have experienced to date. This is due to the solid sate drive and the Snap Dragon 850 processor. I had not heard of this style processor being used in a 2 in 1 machine, as this style processor is usually seen in your high end smart phones. The benefit is no fan sound and really no heat that I have noticed. Drawback is not quite as powerful as your standard i5 type of processors. That being said, this device is meant for the mobile person that needs to stay connected and probably work on basic Office style applications, not for a designer working in Photoshop. This handles all of those general needs with ease. 8 GB of RAM rounds out this package.
The hard drive could be bigger for some people, but again, probably sufficient for the people that are using cloud based serviced for most of their storage.
Fingerprint scanner is fantastic. Fastest one I have used so far. Very quick to log into your device.
I have not used the LTE feature as of yet. I use the home WIFI and also Smart phone Hot Spot with no problems. You can pop in a Verizon SIM card and switch to your cellular data plan as an option.
I have primarily used this Yoga when on the move for work myself. Logging on to my office servers and using their software etc. and it has done a great job at that.
At home I even went on Amazon Video and watched a movie and the battery life hardly moved. Did I tell you I love the battery life?
Bottom line, if you are looking for a mobile 2 in 1 that won’t die on you in a couple hours, and can handle all the normal office style work, internet browsing and even watching movies, you wont be disappointed with this unit. I know I’m not.

Great monitor
on September 18, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
Fantastic monitor. I thought my All-in One monitory was good until I put this side by side. Much brighter, better color and a little more crisp.
Videos are perfect on this 1080p monitor.
Like most new monitors, the edges / frame is very thin, almost all screen.
The only thing I would have liked is a height adjustment on the stand to line up the bottom edges perfectly with my other monitor.
Overall a nice buy.

Okay as Live Camera

Okay as Live Camera
Let me start out by saying I did receive this camera in exchange for an honest review.
So here it goes.
Having a 360 view outside is pretty nice. Here are my likes and dislikes.
Like:
Easy Set-up
360 view of surroundings
Nice picture in live mode
Friendly customer service
Auto Arm – not a feature I used, but could be very helpful
2 way audio function
Dislikes and improvements needed:
Monthly cost
Ability to access recorded footage from personal computer
Ability to selectively set the detection zone (ex: block a street so not every car triggers a notice)
Motion detection (Event History) and alerts need some refinement. Takes too long for the detected video to reach the smartphone. Detection is inconsistent. It will pick up the car driving down the road, but not a car pulling in my driveway.
Battery – Don’t bother using the battery power if this is out of reach or you are away from the camera for a time. I only got maybe 2 days out of the battery. Ended up having to run the power cord to it.
Notification settings – Only the PUSH method seemed to work consistently for me. When I did get a text, the hyper link simply takes you to an ad, rather than your detected video. Email is a simple notice as well. Would be nice to hyperlink to the video that triggered the notice.
Bottom line, if you would like a nice 360 LIVE view it will work great. If you need reliable security that records and alerts quickly and completely, I would go another route for now. Could be better down the road with some enhancements.

Keep up with work using this Dell Inspiron all-in-one computer. A 23.8-inch Full HD touchscreen hides away the Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM, so you only have one unit to contend with. A huge 1TB hard drive and wireless-AC Wi-Fi ensure data storage and transfer remain simple on this Dell Inspiron all-in-one computer.

Nice All-in-One
on July 30, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
Pretty Nice AIO (All-In-One)
This is my first AIO computer. So far, so good.
The computer just looks like any standard monitor, so very compact.
Setup was simple and straight forward.. Yes, you do have do go through some standard updates, but all went well.
Even though I have a slightly older laptop, for now this has become my go-to machine. It has an i7 processor and 12 GB of RAM. I am not a big gamer, but I did download an auto racing game with nice graphics to test it out and it ran perfect. That being said, it is not a machine I recommend for a strictly gaming device as those require faster dedicated graphics cards for the high-end games.
Monitor has a dull surface which shows no reflections. It is touch screen and works pretty well. Although on this type of device I have not found myself using it all that much. I do find the fonts appear somewhat blurry to me.
The keyboard and mouse are pretty basic. I would much prefer the keys of the keyboard to light up though.
Pop up web cam is a nice touch. I use it simply to log into windows using the face recognition.
This does have a 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive. I would prefer an SSD drive at least for the OS. I do hear the hard drive working quite a bit. Not Loud, but noticeable to me. I also periodically get a delay when scrolling a web page. I think this might have to do with a background service running at times.
There are two USB connections (one standard and one mini), an SD drive and audio connection off the left side of the screen for easy access. I do wish the USB was a powered (Charging) connection so it would charge my peripherals when plugged in. Not a huge deal as I have a longer cable connected to the USB off the back and leave it plugged in.
Connection to a second monitor is easy using the HDMI output.
Dell Mobile Connect is a good idea. It connects you smartphone to your computer through Bluetooth. You can use your text, view phone calls and emails as they come into your phone. It does run a little slow and can use some refining.
All in all a nice computer for personal/family use.

Google Experiment?
on June 21, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
Google clips is a nice idea, I guess?
I was provided this camera free to review.
You can find the specs pretty much anywhere and get pretty good idea how it works, so I thought I would just provide my opinion on how I used it in real life.
So far I have used it at a party we had for a family member. I simply set it in a corner and turned it on. It took a whole bunch of short video files that I could review on my Note 8 through the Google Clips app. Most of the pictures were pretty boring shots of people hanging out and most of them quite frankly looked the same. I then used it at an outdoor graduation party and had pretty much the same results. However it did capture some of the kids playing at times I missed.
Perhaps as it learns more faces through the built in AI it would do a better job.
Here is the rub.
When set up at the family party, the wife and other family members were not super comfortable knowing this little camera was taking random shots of them.
I think this may be a generational thing, as the kids at the grad party didn't seem to mind.
You could use this for any type of event, but realize you have about 2-3 hours battery life.
Some pics will look a little distorted due to the fish eye lens. However i will say the quality is pretty good in general.
The app I figured out pretty fast and was easy to set up. I like the Live preview for setting the shots.
The rubberized clip that comes with the camera helps a little, but would be nice if it allowed you to angle the camera in more ways.
Bottom line there is no way I personally would never pay $250 for this camera (outrageous price Google). I simply get better pics using the camera on my phone. Maybe I am missing something here, or I am too old, but I just don't see myself pulling this out too often to use.

Tap on NFC-compatible Bluetooth devices to connect and go with these Sony wireless headphones. Their noise-cancelling technology keeps you focused on your music, while their Ambient Sound Mode mixes in voices and other external sounds you need to hear. Sweat and splashes are not a problem for these water-resistant IPX4-rated Sony wireless headphones.

I was really looking forward to the sound quality of these since they advertise as having Extra bass. Sorry, but I find them very average.
The noise canceling feature really did nothing for me, I just did not notice any sound improvement.
If you like to hear things around you i guess the ambient setting kind of help you hear slightly better.
Control are laid out nicely and easy to use.
I had trouble getting a real good fit no matter the earbuds I tried.
Overall these are pretty average to me, Not my go to pair by any means.

Not Impressed

Not impressed with these headphones.
They keep falling out of my ears and the sound quality is not great. Sound very basic and lacking in bass.
They do have a nice case that also charge the ear buds and I like not having any cords, but these just don't cut the mustard for me.

Finally, Great fit and Sound
on May 24, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
Finally a pair of headphones that fit great, stay in and actually have BASS.
I absolutely love these. Bass is really good, best I have tried to date.
I would like a touch more high range straight out of the box, but through my phones EQ I can get it where I really like the sound.
Call quality is also excellent as you can imagine from Jabra.
Buttons are easy and make sense.
The flexible memory wire neckband holds the headphones in place. No sliding or tugging when you only have one ear bud in your ear.
One weird thing is they stung my ears a little when first wearing them. Real mild, but never the less there. Seams to go away after awhile. Maybe it is just my magnetic personalty ;-)
The Sound + App is where you can make many of the changes such as voice assistant settings, Sound Settings (EQ), Battery Level, manual etc.
The earbuds are magnetic, and connect together for convenient cable and power management. When the earbuds are connected, your music will be paused or your call ended. Separate the buds will answer an incoming call.
Pros:
Ease of use
Bass
Flexible neck band
Call quality
2 yr limited warranty
Cons:
Would like a little more battery life since I use them so much.
Could use a little more high end for music.
I test quite a few headphones and these are now my Go-To set now.
Highly recommend for those that want great call and music quality.

Much faster and easier than doing by hand
on May 6, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
This is a very simple floor cleaner to use.
We just cleaned three rooms and the battery was still 3/4 full.
Once done, you simply remove the pads and wash them.
This is much better than getting down on the old knees. The unit gets under cabinets well, is very quite and easy to use.
We might even buy an extra set of pads to use for waxing. Of course we would apply the wax directly to the floor using this as unit to provide the nice even coat. (This is an idea, NOT manufacture recommended I'm sure).
Simply out, nice unit,easy to use and does a nice job.

Best I have owned
on April 25, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
I will open up by saying I have tested many in-ear headphones.
These are my favorite to date. The two main reasons; they stay in my ears, and they have nice bass.
I simply thought I would never find an in-ear headphone that had decent bass and had almost resigned to that. JBL quality did not disappoint. I will say, when you put these in, the rest of the world is shut out. The earbuds really seal any outside noise, almost too good, as I have to look at someone to see if they are trying to talk to me.
The only complaint I would have (albeit minor), are the control buttons. I would have liked an easier textile feel to them and a little easier to press.The buttons are hard to see and feel. Bluetooth range is just okay as well, don't walk too far away from the device. This is not a real problem for me as my phone is usually on my side.
Battery life is very good as well.
Oh, side note, the instructions are printed way too small. get out the magnifier! For the money, they spent on the packaging, not sure why they print the instructions on pages the size of a business card.
Pros:
Great Sound Quality
Fit
Battery life
Safety light for night runners/walkers
Cons;
Textile of buttons
Bluetooth range
Instructions hard to read
Overall a these are a great buy. I would highly recommend.

Featuring a comfortable secure-fitting design and reliable waterproofing, these headphones stay in place during vigorous activity and stand up to sweat and bad weather. These Jaybird Tarah Pro wireless sport headphones last through the longest workouts with up to 14 hours of battery life per charge.
 

Are these earbuds usable with Sony TV when we already are wireless ready?

If your TV can pair to Bluetooth headphones it should work. I did get them connected to my Samsung with no problem.

How long does the battery actually last, it says 14 hrs, I plan on using them at work for about 10 hrs straight , on max volume?

I can't say at MAX volume, but I use mine all day at work on and off and have not approached empty. I would think they would get you through your day. I would be cautions though, running at max volume for 10 hrs/day everyday may not be healthy in the long run.

Has anyone experienced any skin irritation in your ears from the silicone ear tips on these earbuds? I've experienced this with LG's silicone ear tips on their neckband style headphones and had to get foam tips to fix the issue.

No problems here. Sounds like you have may have a Silicone allergy.

Mine works fine with batteries and plugged in. not even sure how to take batteries out.

Can you charge these using a computer USB port? My PC sees it as a USB device then does not charge, regardless of the port attached to. Using supplied cable and USB 2 or 3 ports. Using a cell phone charger does as expected.

Yes, It works on both of my laptops.
