A little of everything in a nice package

The HP - Pavilion 27" Touch-Screen All-In-On 27-XA0014 is one of several 27” AIO from HP’s. They all look very similar and have similar specifications but there are differences. The two Pavilion models that Bestbuy has ( the 27-XA0014 and the 27-R114) are about the same price but this model (27-XA0014) has a much faster 256 SSD with a PCIe interface. The 27-R114 has a slower SATA traditional HDD . I am pointing this out because it can be confusing when deciding which one to purchase. So let’s look at the pros and the cons
Pros -
Processor - 8th generation i7. You will not need anything
faster.

Speakers - although they do not get very loud, the sound is crisp and clear.
Hard drive type - SSD with a PCIe interface is as fast as you can get. On a disk speed test, I exceeded 1.3 GB transfer speed. That is about 10 times as fast as a traditional hard drive and twice as fast as a SATA SSD.
Keyboard - a surprisingly solid , tactile keyboard.
Fit and finish - this is a nice looking computer. Very solid, everything feels high end.

Connections - plenty of USB ports, HDMI, card readers – everything you would need.
Expandability - options to expand via two M.2 Slots.

Cons -
Video camera - ugghh. Still photo limited to 2.1 MP and video 1080P @ 30 fps. When you put on image stabilization there is substantial latency. Color reproduction is poor. Just all around poor quality.

Screen - the screen is not bad by any means but it is limited 1080P, no 4K. Most touch screens in this price range are 1080P. If you can forgo a touch screen, go for a model with a 4K screen instead.
No facial recognition - okay, this unit has a camera. Windows has facial recognition software built in. Why can’t they enable it on this computer.
Hard drive capacity - While I love the speedy drive, you will fill it up pretty fast. As noted earlier, you can add a second drive according to the specs that state there are two M.2 slots.
Graphics card - while the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 will handle most day to day, I prefer the dedicated graphics card for the extra oomph.
Mouse - the complete opposite of the keyboard. Cheap, too light and really not good.
If you are in the market for an all in one, the HP - Pavilion 27" Touch-Screen All-In-On 27-XA0014. If offers a lot of bang for the buck but there are tradeoffs in keeping the price under $1200. The first question you should ask yourself is why are you buying an AIO? If you are looking for a gaming system, keep on looking – you can get a lot more power for the same money in a traditional PC. If you looking for something that does not take up a lot of space but offers a wide screen than an all in one is for you. One thing to consider when it comes to an all in one is the screen. This model has a touch screen but at the cost of a higher resolution screen. Ask yourself , why do you need a touch screen on a 27 inch computer? It is not a tablet so what really is the point. I would much prefer an all in one with a 4K screen, a little louder speakers, a larger hard drive and a dedicated graphics card. However, you are going to spend about 60% more to get those things. For most, this will be a perfectly competent , everyday computer in a nice attractive package.

Not the fastest but good bang for the buck

Hard drives are, like many PC components, are difficult to review. More appropriately, difficult to write a review that is not overly technical but captures the key points. There are plenty of reviews here and other sites that go into the nitty, gritty technical details. The truth is most readers do not care and I think most reviews should not be geared to the very technical. As such, this review is going to be geared towards the novice. First thing to understand, there are two technologies for hard drives - a mechanical hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid-state drive (SSD.) HDD’s were the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. HDD's are about 1/3rd of the price of an SSD. However, they generate both noise and heat. Traditional HDD's are also much slower and, while they have many of the same interfaces as SSD's, their data throughput is limited to how fast the disk spins. Solid state drives have no moving parts, are much faster than HDD's, smaller (usually) and silent. SSD's have more limitations on capacities and get cost prohibitive at the very large sizes. Next thing to understand is the interface. Since this review is going to be about an SSD, I will discuss only SSD moving forward. There are essentially two common types of interfaces for solid state drives (there are more.) The two types are SATA and PCI Express. The SATA interface is an older technology that is more affordable when compared to the PCI express However, the PCI Express is an order of magnitude more expensive. Keep in mind, I am generalizing and reducing here.
The Samsung 860 QVO 2TB is an internal SATA SSD that is affordable yet offers a large capacity. Before you purchase, if you plan to use this for a laptop; be sure to make sure it is compatible. For my test, I chose to install it as an external drive using a SATA drive enclosure. Regardless of whether you chose an internal or external installation you should be aware that the drive will not show up in Windows out of the box. You must configure the drive via the Microsoft Disk Management. There are a few steps so plan on searching for how to do it. Don't get hung up on that, it is simple. Once configured, the drive is as advertised and significantly faster than a traditional hard drive. I've attached a picture of my speed test, it exceeded the read speed of 550MB/sec and the write speed of 520MB/sec. I ran multiple tests and the Samsung 860 QVO 2TB performed well every time. However, well is relative. This drive is designed to be affordable so there are faster SSD's on the market. Please note that SSD drive performance can vary according to how full the drive is.
You are going to see a lot of terms in reviews and hard drive info - M.2, NVMe, . PCIe, don't get too hung up them. Samsung really started the SSD revolution. They developed or perfected many of the SSD drive technologies you see today. You really cannot go wrong with the Samsung 860 QVO 2TB. It offers a large capacity at value price with the Samsung reliability. It’s not the fastest SSD out there, you are limited by the interface in that respect. However, this will be much faster than traditional HDD and you will notice significant gain. In closing, there are several sizes available , 1TB, 2TB and 4TB. The speed does vary between the drives with the 1TB being slow in a lot of online test ( it’s sequential write speed is half that of the 2 and 4 TB.
So if you made it all the way through my review, I recommend the drive completely. Just know what you are buying before you do.

Just an all around bad experience

from Farmingdale, NY
What a disaster. Uggh. I normally love Logitech products but there are so many issues here. Logitech clearly states this is compatible with Xbox One but this simply is not – at least not as you would expect. So this is what happened :
- I charge up the headset per the instructions.
- I switch the headset wireless switch to off per the instructions.
- I plug in the headset via the 3.5 mm and check my Xbox One audio out settings. Everything is as it should.
- I get sound in one ear and the boom mic does not work.
- No matter what I do , I cannot get the sound to be in stereo not get the mic to work in chat mode.
- I contact Logitech for technical support per their letter they included in the headset I am to review.
- I do not hear back from them so I reach out the Bestbuy insider network ( for a second time, I let them know I was having issues.)
- Bestbuy reaches out to Logitech.
- A few days later I hear back from Logitech.
- In the time when I first tried to get the headset to work and while
waiting for Logitech to respond, I looked over their website and
instructions .
- Logitech states to go to www.logitech.com/support/g935. That
does not take you to the G935 support, it brings you to the general
support page. Then you have to search for it. Logitech, check your
links before you send out product info.
- The instructions state that you may need an Xbox One Stereo
headset adapter. That is probably why I having the issue. But guess what? Microsoft discontinued the adapter last year.
- I did sign up to their support page and register the product. I went
to sign back in but forgot my password so I reset my password.
However, the reset link that was supposed to get in my email did
not arrive .
- Their website does not work with Chrome on the Mac, I had to use
Safari.
- Logitech did respond and this is what they actually communicated

"To help you I would like to ask if you have tried any fix on your own?
Here are some troubleshooting steps for this issue. If you have tried it skip the step.
1. Unplug / re-plug the USB cable
2. Try other USB 2.0 port on your computer
3. Increase the volume of the headset.
4. Try using it with and without the Logitech G HUB
5. Uninstall/reinstall Logitech G HUB https://support.logitech.com/en_za/product/g935-wireless-7-1-surround-sound-lightsync-gaming-headset/getting-started
6. Try using the 3.5 mm analogue jack
7. Try a different computer or audio source “

7. Try a different computer or audio source “
That is their email verbatim. The first question they ask is if I tried to fix it on my own. Are they kidding? Increase the volume? What, really? The rest of the email is canned , scripted responses and clearly they did not even read my email.
As of this moment, I still cannot get the headset to work. I’m not going to back and forth with a tech support rep if my initial inquiry is not properly looked at and thinks telling to increase the volume is helpful. Even putting that aside, is Logitech serious marketing a product to work with an Xbox One but you it requires additional purchases for an item that is no longer made ( the Xbox Stereo headset adapter.) Take a look yourself, it’s discontinued everywhere including Bestbuy and it is not on Xbox.com under accessories. This was one error after another. This should not be marketed to be compatible with Xbox One and Logitech should really do a better job of vetting their product before it comes to market. I’ve always been a fan of Logitech but the lack of product support and accuracy is inexcusable.

The best...but at a price.

When I first opened the box and took the Marshall Woburn 2 speaker out I thought, wow this is a serious speaker. Immediately, you can tell the build quality is top notch and reminiscent of Marshall speakers of old. Most people reading this will not remember the old Marhall speakers and amps but let me assure you they were always known for top notch quality and power. This speaker does not disappoint and holds that tradition. First, if this is not a portable speaker – it weighs almost 20 lbs. Its needs to be to handle the sound power it generates. Set up is simple – plug it in, download the app, upgrade the firmware and connect to your device. At first I liked the sound but was not overly impressed. But then I found the equalizer in the app ( or as they list it “equaliser”) and found there was substantive differences in the sound. In fact , the Marshall app allows you to use custom equalizer presets or create your own. In running through the equalizer presets, I found the “Rock” one to be the most pleasing. If you want, you can also adjust the base, treble and volume through simple knobs on the speaker. It does not sound like much but there is something to be said for simple knobs to control everything if you want. Too many speakers on the market had touch buttons or an app to control that. The app also gives you the option to pair the speaker with another speaker. However, you will find this has more than enough power and will not need two.
So what about the sound. In all but the max volumes the sound is simply fantastic. Everything is clear, rich and on the mark. Base hits the real lows and the treble is pitch perfect. If you notice,
I said the sound was good in all the but max volumes. At nearly max and max volumes, there is a noticeable distortion. However, the max volume is ear bleedingly loud and far too high in most cases. Even at the lower settings , the Marshall Woburn 2 is pretty loud.

Now comes the all important question, would I recommend it. Well, mostly yes and a little no. This is an expensive speaker and is more than most people need. But if you are looking in this price range, this is probably the best you can buy. It is not too expensive for the sound it delivers but spending $500 for one speaker is high for most. Another thing that some people will not like is the retro design. For me, I think the Marhsall Woburn 2’s design is a piece of art.
In summary – bold, beautiful, well built and great sound. If you can afford it, you cannot go wrong.

Ah, not really. It's a cable. This is not going to be an overly detailed review. As I said, this is a cable - not much to talk about and you are not going to read a detailed review anyway. So let's look at the pros and the cons.
Pros :
Durable - The material it is made of is very strong. If you ever had a an Apple lightning cable that wears at where the connector sleeve meets the cable, that will never happen with the Belkin Duratek Plus cable.
Tangle resistant - The material it is made of makes far less prone to tangles.
Great warranty - 5 years.

Shockingly light, superbly well built.

Wow. Shocking. Unreal.
Those are the words I first thought of when I took the LG Gram 17 out of the box. Actually at first, it felt like there was a mistake. This could not be real. It is that light. I did not look at the weight before it was sent to me so it was surprise when I first lifted it. For a 15 inch laptop, 2.95lbs is light. For a 17 inch laptop – it is unheard of. You do not buy this laptop for gaming or a work station. It is perfectly competent in the power department but not up to par for gaming. But as I said, you do not buy it for that. You buy it for being the lightest 17 inch made, the fantastic build quality, the great battery life and the bright and vibrant display. I’ve been using the LG Gram 17 for about 10 days as my only home laptop. Nearly everything works great and it has all the features you would expect – keyboard with a backlight, USB 3.0 port, Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C, SD card, headphone jack, latest I7 and an HDMI port. Couple that with 16 GB of ram and 512 SSD – you get one complete, powerful , versatile laptop. So what do not I like? Well, the keyboard is off center in relation to the touchpad. You get used to it but it is just awkward because it is off about an 1/ 4 of an inch. Don’t look into it too much, it is more noticeable if you are switching between laptops. That brings me to what I consider a drawback – the speakers. They are downward facing. While they are powerful, they can be easily muffled if they are not a flat surface. It’s not a deal breaker, it is just not the best design.
In summary, this is great laptop. It is ultra-portable for it’s size and performs well. One thing that really stands out is the battery, it takes a lot to drain the battery. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is an on all day laptop. I used this several days in a row without charging and would let it sleep on it’s own when I was not on the web. It had to be 12 to 14 hours of use equivalent when the battery got low. If you look at professional reviews, they say 12 hours of continuous use. It easily best most 15 inch laptops and all 17 inch in battery life. The LG Gram 17 is one well designed laptop for both serious and casual user. Recommend.

Another great product from Linksys
on February 21, 2019

from Farmingdale, NY
The Linksys MR8300 is yet another router is endless sea of routers. Yes, this has an mesh option but there is still so many out there. So what separates this out from the rest? Let's look at the setup , performance and the software.
The first step is to download app. This is needed to set up and update the router. I do have an existing Linksys account but it would not let me reset password. I used another email address to create an account and it was fine after that. The rest of the set up is easy, plug in router , connect to it through the app and you are good to go after a few minutes. You can stop there or add a node to extend a mesh network. I had a node so I added that through app. Oddly, adding the node took about twice as long as installing the router. Regardless, it was a piece of cake. After everything is complete ,it will update the firmware and that took almost 20 minutes. After that, I was up and running. Coverage is good . My apartment is not large but I have problems with some Wi-Fi cameras staying connected outside my bedroom. The building I am in has plaster walls with metal lathe and the outside is brick. My existing router in not in line of site to the cameras so the connections drop out. I took the node and put it line of site to the Linksys MR8300. The node was positioned so the signal only had to go through one wall. It worked, I now get stronger connections to the camera. The point is that this router can not only be used to cover larger areas but be used get Wi-Fi into problem areas.
I’ve been reading some reviews on Linksys and some other sites that there is issues with the app and that it was not good. I found completely the opposite, the mobile app and the web interface were clean, easy to use and useful. It has parental and guests controls, let’s you see what devices are connected and even has a speed test. Overall, I felt the software was a big plus for this router ( and it seems all Linksys routers.)
In summary, this is a good product with strong software at an affordable price. I recommend it.

Say yes to travel, dining out, catered meals and packaged food. The Nima Gluten Sensor allows you to test your food for gluten - anytime, anywhere, in minutes. It's portable and easy to use. Simply place food into the test capsule, insert the capsule into the sensor, and press start.Test capsule required for use and sold separately.

Effective but expensive
on January 16, 2019

I really did not have a lot of hope when the Nima Gluten arrived. It was smaller than expected, USB powered and small mono-color screen. But in the end, it’s simplicity that makes the package work. First, charge the Nima via USB. I charged it for a few minutes and left it plugged in for use. Next you download the app. I was not too happy that the app wants access to all your contacts and access your phone call history. Luckily, you can decline to give the app access and it works fine. After downloading the app, turn the Nima on and click pair in the app. It discovered the Nima in a few seconds and immediately paired. To be honest, I am not even sure how much you need the app to us the Nima. There is not a whole lot of functionality in the app besides sharing results. Where the functionality lies is in the device and the test capsules. How it works is you take a pea size portion of whatever food you are testing and put it in the capsule. There is a screw on cap that you have to make sure it is tight and they include a tool to tighten. I had no problem tightening it but I definitely can see who some women would have an issue. After setting the capsule up, you insert it into the Nima Sensor unit and push the button. Initially, the Nima was silent but then the unit started making what appears to be some grinding sound. There is a little symbol that looks like sun while the Nima is processing. After 4 minutes you get your result. Every test I tried was accurate. It does not tell you how much gluten is present; it simply tells you whether the food has gluten. Simple, straightforward and it works.
So what is not to like? Well, it is expensive. The sensor is $230 plus tax. A little on the high side but not unreachable. The capsule, on the other hand, is quite expensive. The are $72+tax for 12. If you use only 4 a month, that is going to cost you another $300. I opened up one of the capsules to see how it works and it appears it grinds the food in some type of liquid substrate . After looking at how it works, the capsules are single use only.
Now if you have chronic celiac disease or similar , this would be worth the money . If you are thinking about it to occasionally use, then it is not worth the nearly $600 first year cost.

Simply the best keyboard I ever used.

First, I am not an avid PC gamer. So why would you give merit to my review of a gaming keyboard? First, I do a tremendous amount of a computer work every day, probably typing thousands of words a day. I don’t care about lights and what I think are gimmicks (although there are uses for the lights- more on that later.) I’m not going to test it on games ( don’t worry Razer, keep reading.) What I care about is fit, form and function. After using the Razer - BlackWidow Elite Wired Gaming Mechanical keyboard for several weeks, I can tell you this is one of the best keyboards I have ever used. Everything about it is quality, how it works and attention to detail. The switches for the keys are top notch with great tactile feedback, travel and reactivity . It really brought me back to the old style IBM keyboards for those who are old enough to remember. However, there is a slight wobble to them that is probably associated with the keys being able to be removed so easily. It is not an issue, just something you should be aware of. The keys are on the smaller side when compared to some laptops and traditional keyboards but I found I got used to it pretty fast and ended up typing even faster. You will find the keys are loud when typing, I can see some people finding the clicking a bit annoying ( it does not bother me at all.) The Razer Blackwidow Elite comes with a wrist pad that adheres magnetically to to the keyboard. At first, as I do with most of keyboard wrist pads, I totally discounted it and did not bother to use it. Well, I was totally wrong – you will need it. After I was using the keyboard for an hour or so , I noticed my forearms were getting tired and beginning to hurt. This is due to the keyboard being so high off the table I was using it on. Obviously, Razer thought of ergonomics when they designed the keyboard and that simple wrist pad makes all the difference. That might not seem like much but it is the attention to detail that separates companies. In reference to the details, you will see that the start to see what other things separates the Razer Blackwidow – the tough USB wire, the USB audio pass through, the 3. 5 mm jack and, my favorite, an easy to use knob control for the audio. It really is a pleasure to have a fast way to adjust audio on the fly. Even the whole keyboard is weighted to withstand heavy typing and gaming. In summary, you will not find a better keyboard out there whether it is for gaming or everyday use. Recommend completely.

"Dash" away from this dash cam.

Well, this did not start or end well. I had high hopes for the Rexing - V2 Dash Cam but it just did not work out that way. At first glance, it has nearly everything you would need – dual channel, direct Wi-Fi (to your phone,) accident auto detection, wide field of vision etc. So where did it go wrong? First the simple thing that should not go wrong. I could not get the suction mount to work. I’ve tried multiple times over the past two weeks and it falls off every time. I tried at different temperatures outside, I heated the windshield with the defroster, cleaned the windshield thoroughly – nothing was effective. The mount is just a cheap, poor design. It never ceases to amaze me when companies miss the small things. Not everyone wants to permanently mount dash cams and Rexing should have provided a much better mount - cell phone mounts or even EZ pass holders do a better job. Alright, putting aside mounting problems, I tried out the cam by holding figuring if I really liked it I would mount it. The field of vision was excellent and the night vision was pretty good.The rear-facing camera is really only for the interior of the car and it was adequate but not great. That was probably due to the low light conditions in the car. I had a brand new SanDisk 64 GB Ultra class 10 micro SD card so I popped it in the Rexing V2 Dash cam. After a few seconds, the device gives me an error message “memory error.” I take it out, shut the unit down and reinsert the card. Same error. I’ve had the card for a while and while it was never used I decided to buy a new one at Bestbuy. You are probably guessing what happened next. Same issue – “memory error.” Oddly, the unit shut off when I tried to get into the menus and I, frankly, had enough. I should be able to take a Rexing V2 out of the box, mount it and be ready to go. Additionally, if there is some compatibility issue with SanDisk memory cards then Rexing should verify the resellers stock the recommended cards. In this case, it looks like Rexing recommends Kingston on their website but Bestbuy does not sell Kingston micro SD cards. And you know what? Include a memory card with the dash cam and raise the price $20. It will save everyone headaches. After these issues , I start to look at the overall design and start to notice things could be better – the navigation of the menus, the size of the screen , the way the back of the dash cam connects to the mount . Even the little things like the way the power is connects at an awkward 90 degree angle facing up ( the wire now has to go up before it comes back down.) I know they did this for a permanent power set up but there should have been options.
After this frustrating and disappointing experience, I cannot recommend this product. Frankly, just the poorly thought out cheap suction cup mount alone makes me second guess the overall quality of the Rexing product.

Access multiple streaming apps with this Hisense 4K smart TV. The FALD display supports HDR imaging for vivid colors and excellent brightness. Connect multiple devices simultaneously using the four HDMI ports, and access the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support storage device access. This Hisense 4K smart TV features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity for increased versatility.
The specs say the tv with stand is 11.1 in. deep. I would like to put the tv on a fireplace mantle that is only 10 in. deep. Any chance the TV would still be stable if the stand overhung the end of the mantle by 1 in.?
No, I think the stand will be unstable. I measured between the two grommets on the stand legs and they are 10 1/4 inches. I think 10 in mantle would cause the TV to have a very good chance of tipping over.

My Sony clock radio is randomly going off in the middle of the night. I have it set at 5:30am. Why is it doing this?
You probably have the second alarm set by accident .

Just had a power failure - the screen went dark. But when the power came back - the time was accurate and alarm times were still set. Is that normal for the display to go away even with with battery backup?
Yes. Displays take a lot of energy so the battery is not intended to power the display.
