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

Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
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.

Comfortable and nice sound quality
on April 10, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
I had tested many in-ear headphones and so far these have fit my ears the best. They actually stay in my ears without having to fuss with them constantly. They came with Cloud Foam tips with I do prefer. The only problem I had is I lost one tip the first day. They tend to fall off easier than the other tips. I did contact JLab and had a whole new set of tips in about a week. Very good customer service.
These headphones are also very nicely balanced. You have the power pack on one side and the controls on the other. This makes the weight of both sides even. It is about time someone thought of this. Most others have the control on one side which makes that side heavier which causes the whole wiring to always slide in that direction when moving. NOT THESE :-) they stay centered.
The only disappointment to me is the noise canceling feature. I just really can't tell a difference when it is on or off. With any other headphones I have owned with this feature, you really notice the difference. Maybe I simply have not been in an environment to notice a difference. I also noticed the noise canceling feature stays on when you turn the unit off. This I assume this will kill your battery. For these couple reasons, I removed 1 star. They still sound great and cancel noise effectively either way.
All that said, with many in-ear headphones in my house to choose from (5-6 pair), these have been my go-to now.
PROS:
-Battery Life
-Sound Quality
-Better bass than most others I have tried
-Balanced Well
-Fit
-Plug in cord option
-Bluetooth Connection
CONS:
-Noise canceling not super impressive
-Cloud Foam Tips fall off easily
-Noise cancel does not turn off when you power down without
pressing a separate button.
Bottom line, For the price I think you will be very pleased with this purchase. I think JLab is really starting to produce some nice products.

Very nice toothbrush
on April 5, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
This is a really nice toothbrush. It does a great job in cleaning your teeth. If you have never used a Sonic Care style of brush before, don't worry it automatically increases its strength for the first 14 days so you can get used to it.. Pretty cool feature. The only thing I don't like is the back of the toothbrush head is just plastic. They should have put rubber around the edges so the plastic doesn't hit two teeth opposite of the brush. I see they have done this on more expensive models, so I'm sure you can get replacement heads that do have this feature (see photo for example). That is the only reasons why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. The brush feels very nice in your hand, you can tell this is a quality made product. Much better than their previous versions. Holds charge for a long time.

Nice sound for the price
on March 22, 2018
Posted by: Mukman
from Mukwonago, WI
These Sony headphones sound surprisingly good for the price point.
I really like the indented large controls on the right ear. Easy to use. If you double press the power button you can use Google Assistant or Bixby (if you are on a Samsung like me).
The battery life is great. I have used for a few days of chores and have yet to charge them.
Pairing was easy using NFC. Just make sure NFC is enabled on your phone and tap to the logo on the left earphone.
They get plenty loud for me and seal out the outside noise nicely considering they are not noise canceling.
I do prefer Over-the-ear instead of the On-ear, but these are pretty comfortable for the On-ear design. I would prefer a little padding on the headband, but other than that they fit pretty good. You probably won't wear these quite as long as the type that goes around the ear simply due to ear fatigue.
Calls - Work for taking calls. the sound for the person on the other end is a little muffled.
Pros:
Lightweight
Great Battery life
NFC pair
Bluetooth connection & distance
Cons:
Would like padding on the headband
Call Mic
Overall a good value for anyone looking for the On-Ear style headphones.

The iPad is a great device, especially if you pair it with an Apple Pencil. A full-fledged computer, the power of a digital work environment literally at your fingertips. But one thing is still not great: the Apple Pencil slipping around on the iPad's glass surface feels unnatural and the pencil tip gets stuck on fingerprints and smudges. It simply doesn't feel right. If you're like us, you miss the accuracy of writing on paper. Paperlike, a screen protector that emulates the natural feel of paper when writing and drawing on the iPad. The most significant challenges in developing the Paperlike were finding the right friction while keeping light refractions at a minimum. And keeping the material smooth enough, so it doesn't eat up the pencil tip like sandpaper (a lot of regular matte screen protectors do that). That's why we developed a unique surface technology called Nanodots. These microbeads are evenly distributed across the foil and allow for a natural paper-feel while keeping as much of your iPad's brilliant display quality as possible. Join tens of thousands of artists, students, and notetakers around the world who love Paperlike. And finally, make your iPad the truly magnificent device it can be.
 

There are two versions available but no way to specify which version you need. Want to order but want the version that is cut specifically for the 2020 version which has different cutouts from the 2018.

It just has cut outs for the camera area. This is for 2018-2020 version of the 12.9"
I uploaded a picture. Hope that helps.
