Great little all purpose computer
on November 17, 2016
Posted by: Meta
This computer is a visually appealing and very useable little package.
The main focus of this computer is for home entertainment, but it is totally workable as a standard desktop computer.
It connects to your display via HDMI and will play 1080p HD video. With the built in bluetooth you can use the mouse and keyboard that come with it, or get your own bluetooth accessories. Personally I have hooked up a PS4 controller to use and it works pretty well from the sofa.
It is a lot of fun to browse the web and watch movies and TV from a home theater PC, not to mention that you can do so much more on it (games, social media, YouTube, and etc).
Truly my only compliant is with Windows 10. On more than one occasion when wanting to watch a movie or tv show, Windows 10 has decided to install updates for 30+ minutes and we would have to use other options.

Easy, sexy, router system
on September 24, 2016
Posted by: Meta
The Orbi system has impressed me. Not only does it cover 2300 sqft with a max signal connection, it does so seamlessly.
I have used another Netgear router system that had a range extender. It did the job, but had some annoying quirks. For instance the range extender was a separate wifi network (e.g. NETGEAR-5G-EXT) and you would have to connect to one or the other at a time.
The Orbi system doesn't do that at all. The extender (or satellite as it's called) uses the same wifi network name and password so you can travel between them without hassle.
Technical details aside, the Orbi is very sleek. The devices are a little bigger than you would imagine, but they blend into the home environment and don't have the generic box design a lot of others do. I have the main unit sitting next to the TV in my living room and it fits in with the rest of my space.
So far there have been no hiccups in service and the signal strength has been exactly what my place needed.

The Samson PS04 Microphone Pop Filter is an essential mic accessory for any studio or other vocal recording environment. The PS04 features a dual-layer 4.75" nylon mesh screen that reduces the vocal popping sounds ("P-Pops") that occur during speech and singing, as well as protects the microphone from saliva. Once attached to any standard mic stand shaft or boom by the included C-clamp mount, the PS04 can be easily positioned to preference via a durable 8" gooseneck.

This pop-filter is great. It does as it is intended to do, filtering out the hard airy sounds we make.
I really like the sturdy build quality. I have another pop-filter but I like this one better. One solid piece of equipment.
I have this attached to my Blue Snowball and it works great.

Great quality in an affordable package

I own two of these mics. I use them for recording a podcast with a co-host. I freaking love both of these little mics.
I initially was getting some bleed over from both mics, but once we made some adjustments it sounds absolutely professional. I would recommend a pop-filter just to eliminate the harshness of the airy letters/words.
The set up to use the mic is really easy. Literally just plug it in your computer. I have used this mic for Skype and Google Hangouts.
This mic works well straight out of the box, and will not require much more than that.

What's great about it: Plug and play, Great sound, doesn't pick up too much adjacent noise
What's not so great: Stand can be unstable, The further you move away the more echo/room noise it can pick up

The Magnifi Mini home theater sound bar system delivers big room-filling audio and surround sound experience you’d expect from a full-size sound bar—all in an ultra-compact design that fits any space. Polk’s exclusive Voice Adjust technology dramatically increases vocal clarity and volume level for crystal clear dialogue no matter what you’re watching. Plus, our patented surround technology and Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding creates incredible room-filling surround sound all from a sound bar that is less than 15” long. Compatible with nearly all TVs, the universal sound bar works with your TV, cable box or satellite IR remote control and features simple setup in minutes with the included HDMI cable. The powerful wireless subwoofer delivers deep impactful bass to your favorite movies, TV, games, sports and music too. And if volume’s too loud during late night viewing, Night Mode lets you easily watch your favorite programs at night without waking the neighbors or other family members in your home. What’s more, bring the concert into your room with wireless music streaming via WiFi, Google Cast and Bluetooth. Whatever you do, just don’t let the MagniFi Mini’s small size fool you—this is that big Polk sound you love from a little bar.
 

I cannot connect directly to my TV because of location, can I connect this directly to the cable box?

As long as the sound output oprtions from your cable box matches one of the inputs for this set, then you are good to go! My guess is that as long as your box is "newer" (from the last 5 years or so) then you will have no problems.

The Shark Genius Steam Pocket Mop System is our most advanced floor cleaning system ever. Featuring both a Steam Mop and a Spray Pocket mop, the Genius system is the right solution for all your cleaning needs. Harness the power of steam to sanitize 99.9% of household bacteria*. (Sanitization studies were conducted under controlled test conditions. Household conditions and results may vary.)
 

Can you use water only with this steam mop or do you have to purchase a solution?

Yes. I only use water in the steam tank. The mop does come with a separate handle that attaches to the mop head so you can use the same head without any steam. There is a refillable spray bottle that comes with a cleaning solution to use on hard floors with the no steam version of the mop.

I have a house built in 1930 and it is 1000 sq. ft. up and 1000 sq. ft. basement. I have 2 wifi extenders because of the solid brick and plaster walls to pick up better signal in dead areas. I currently have a Netgear 55 router. Would this work better?

I would think that it would almost definitely would. I can cover 2300 sqft with maximum signal in every room.

What is the user interface / app like? Does it have the ability to control the setup and individual device control like the EERO and LUMA have? I currently have a R8000 and it won't cover the home and the interface does not provide much control over wor

I know you can use the Netgear Genie app on your phone/device to control it, but the settings there are not the full list of settings available in the main interface.

That being said, you can view all devices connected to the network and block them, add parental controls, manage media from attached hard drives (via USB port on router/range extender), view a traffic meter, reboot the router, and look at the general set up of the router.

Accessing the settings on the router itself has a nice interface. Lots of options, with basic and advanced menus. You can do all of the above and a ton more granular settings.

Q I am looking for1 Orbi router and 3 Orbi satellites for my big home, since Netgear is not giving the option to buy satellites individually ,will I be able to order two boxes of Orbi and be able to use one of Orbi router as a satellite ,? interchange

That is correct. As I was looking through the settings in the router I noticed you could make the router enter "Access Point" mode. I didn't understand why someone would need to do that, but it looks like now I know!

Will this product cover a 2000 sq. ft., one level house with only one (1) WiFi Name? The reason for this question is I'm currently using an extension to my router which has given the front of the house a different wifi name from the back of the house.

I have this system in a 2300 sqft home and have full signal throughout my house. That is correct you will only have one wifi network name. I have loved that I don't have to deal with two wireless network names. It is seamless across my place.
