Make a fast desktop go FASTER
on July 28, 2021

WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe 500GB Internal PCIe Gen 3 x 4 Solid State Drive for Desktops
this NVMe SSD is a speedy little hard drive that added 500GB of storage capacity to my son's gaming desktop at a fair price and great results.
I have installed this SSD as a secondary SSD to store and run games on as I have a primary SSD that is running windows on it.
installing took literally 3 minutes:
Step 1: inpack SSD
Step 2: turn off computer
Step 3: locate M2 slot for SSD
Step 4: insert new SSD into slot
Step 5: fasten the screw (not provided in the package) but had a screw in place on my motherboard so I used it. if you are wondering which type screw you can't go wrong with an M3 screw size.
Step 6: turn on computer
step 7: right click on This PC - Disk Management - right click on new volume - initialize - create new simple volume - choose size in MB (if you want multiple columes - assign new drive letter - quick format - and you are set to go and the new volume will show up in this pc and it is now usable.
If you want to have this SSD perform as a boot volume, you will need to create it as a bootable disk and copy the content of your original HDD or SSD using a HDD management software. or you can start from a fresh install.
this hard drive has great reading/ writing speeds and it did improve the overall performance of my sons desktop and added plenty of space for him to save his games.

You cant beat the value on this one
on June 29, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
ASUS - ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9-5900HX - 16GB Memory - Radeon RX 6800M - 512GB SSD
SUMMERY
this is a game changer in terms of what AMD can offer, it is a high performer, great for most dedicated gamers, also can pass as a workhorse for video and image editing, at a great entry price.
the only thing I would complain about is that in order to use the 6800GPU, you will need to attach an external screen.
Aesthetics and build quality:
this laptop is a beauty, it is well built with almost frameless bezels, the hinges feel very sturdy, and the matts black finish looks awesome!
the LED RGB lighting is customizable to any color scheme you want, although you cannot separate the color scheme on the backlit keyboard from the one going under the laptop. that would've been great in work conditions.
Screen quality:
the screen brightness and latency are WONDERFUL! it is more than enough and great at this price. again, to unlock the full potential of the GPU you would need an external screen. but with that being said, the quality of the screen is very acceptable.
the keyboard and touch pad:
the keyboard feels and works very nicely, the placement of the keys are on point.
the touch pad is big and comfortable but it is more on the right side, and you might hit it accidently if you are using the keyboard.
when gaming, am attaching my external keyboard and mouse for higher response rates.
sound quality:
the sound on this laptop is very acceptable, the highs and midrange are very accurate and satisfying while the bass is lower than what I would love. but if am being real, most of the time am either using my headphones.
upgradability and ease of access:
this is a laptop that was designed with accessibility in mind.
you can remove the back cover by unscrewing 10 screws to access the board where you can locate and easily as another NVME SSD, and add or replace RAM.
Ports:
- USB type C
- HDMI
- Ethernet
- USB 3 ( 3 ports)
- headphone/ speaker jack
the laptop doesn't come with a camera, but you can download an app from Asus to use your mobile phone as a webcam for this laptop for your meetings and video calls (you might as well just use your phone to conduct the meeting in that case unless you are sharing screen or presenting).
size and weight: this is a very good laptop when it comes to size and weight, my daily driver is a Lenovo YOGA 5 pro with NVIDIA GPU and this new laptop from AMD is almost identical in size and weight.
the laptop would fit in any 15.6 inch screen laptop bag, but if you want to add the enormous 280Watts power brick, then its a different story. the brick is very big and heavy (check the pictures) and will add a substantial weight if you carry your laptop around all day.
GAME play:
this laptop blew my mind when I downloaded and installed Microsoft flight simulator and started playing it. the game is 84GB of data that needs to be downloaded and installed and the graphics on it were AMAZING. no lag, no gittering, no screen freeze or locking and absolutely wonderful game flow.
I also played Horizon, with every setting maxed out and the laptop flowed through the game without breaking a sweat or even becoming louder.
conclusion:
this is a great laptop for gamers that offers wonderful features packed in a sleeper body. it did all tasks without giving me any trouble and I am very happy with the performance.
the interchangeable corners Asus provided (Red, silver, and transparent black are great if you want to change the aesthetic of the laptop or if you want to take it to work with you (would look more professional when using the transparent one than the red one).
the combination of the Ryzen 9 and the Radeon 6800 offered seamless experience across the board and this is going to be my daily driver for at least a couple years to come.
and I know that when I come home from work ill be able to kick back and play some games without worrying that this laptop won't be capable of delivering the best experience possible at this price point.

Bass quality you would only get with BEATS
on June 29, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
Beats by Dr. Dre - Beats Studio Buds Totally Wireless Noise Cancelling Earphones
Summery:
those buds fall in the same line when it comes to good build quality and Bass biased sound note that you would expect from Beats by Dr. Dre.
packaging and case build:
the packaging is minimal where you get:
- Buds
- case
- USB type C short cable for charging the case
3 size rubber covers for different ear fits.
- user Manual and Beats sticker, as well as 1 month of free music subscription with Apple music.
Build quality:
The case is very well built, would work without a problem in a side pocket and the matte black color is really nice.
the hinge is built well and will withstand a lot of open/ close action.
charging and battery life:
charging for 5 minutes would give you about 70% battery life and I have used them extensively and got about 19 hours of play time when Active noise control is off.
controls:
controls are easy almost like any other buds, swipe to control, pause, skip, or answer calls. although I found them to be a little bit more like a press than a touch, and for me it was a good thing.
fit in ear:
Buds felt super comfortable and I almost forgot about them when i wasn't listening to music when I was wearing them.
i was able to do light gym work out without any issues. they did withstand sweat with no issues.
ANC: active noise cancelling works great. the difference between ANC on and off is huge. When ANC is on, it does cancel or mute outside noises without having any effect on the quality of the tunes I was listening to.
Volume and sound quality:
the volume on these is HIGH! i wasn't able to crank it all the way up because they were too loud, but the sound quality is amazing and fits my sound profile. the highs are high, the mid range or vochals are clear as they can be and the bass is heavy.
connectivity to phones:
After charging them for the first time I opened the case and my Google Pixel 4 immediately recognised them without me touching the phone and offered to download the Beats app from Google store, I downloaded and installed the app and signed on to my beats profile and was able to customize my experience using the app.
the app also offers a tutorial on how to use them properly.
Comparison to other buds:
I have the Google buds 2 and a Sennheiser CX400. the beats by Dre are my favorite and to me they offer the best sound quality at lesser price.
these will be my daily drivers for a long time to come.

This is a TUF monitor to beat for the price
on June 17, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
ASUS - 28" IPS WLED 4k Gaming Monitor (DisplayPort, HDMI)
this is a versatile monitor that can handle mid range gaming and every day tasks and works without sweating at all.
the packaging was very good and the monitor was well protected.
putting the monitor together was a breeze and took less than a minute.
Usage: the word here is versatile, with minimum lag and higher refresh rate this was a great upgrade from my other same size name brand monitor that was in the same price range and that was advertised for productivity. but we are testing this monitor for gaming, so here we go:
the monitor was used with a Lenovo - Legion Tower 5i Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5-10400 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super - 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Phantom Black.
games played range from League of legends, Mortal Combat XL, Fortnight, Minecraft to Forza. which all have performed very well and had no LAG at all on medium settings. there was no tearing at all.
this monitor displays beautifully when playing from a Blu-ray or streaming 4K over a decent internet speed.
the configuration menu and app are great for customizing your experience.
the monitor can be used in horizontal or vertical modes which is great for productivity. thats a huge plus if you use multiple monitors for work and you are an average gamer.
over all, this monitor is TUF to beat for the price and features and I am very happy with this product.

Raycop’s latest in cordless stick vacuum engineering.

The name is Vacuum, COMPACT Vacuum
on June 17, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
RAYCOP - Omni Air UV+ Compact Cordless Stick Allergen Vacuum
Summery: this vacuum is going to be a good option for you only in 2 scenarios.
1- you need a really small compact vacuum that is very light weight to use in a specific area (kitchen, stairs,bathroom, a very small apartment)
2- you want to get in on the UV light craze to be able to sanitize your beddings or furniture.
This is not a good option if you:
1- want to rely on it to use in a larger home.
2- if emptying the bin literally every 4 minutes of use.
3- you have pets.
Packaging:
this vacuum was packaged in a very enviromentally sensitive packaging and came in a brown box with minimalist black printing on it, and no foam inside. HUGE PLUS.
putting it together:
it was like any other vacuum and putting it together took 5 seconds. a 6 years old could put it together.
usage:
- the vacuum has 3 modes for suction
- no specific setting for carpet, hardwood, etc
- the UV sanitizing head has a sensor where it kills the UV light bulb when the head isn't flat on surfaces (great because UV light is highly toxic if you touch the bulb while on or if you look at it directly while on).
- when the UV head light is on, a light blue light will turn on the head.
- attachements are versatile and good for cleaning corners, cars, etc.
- can be used as a handheld.
Battery life:
charging time is longer (closer to 4 hours) and battery life is about 25 minutes of mixed use (acceptable for its purpose).
final thoughts:
This vacuum is great for smaller places, UV sanitizing purposes, or if you just need a very light weight vacuum.
it is not intended to be a main vacuum cleaner for larger homes.
it is not intended and wouldn't work if you have messy pets (cat litter will fill the bin in seconds).
but overall, this is a welcome addition to our vacuums where we have a specific task for this new one.

Good value with great potential
on May 31, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
The Harman Spark 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot is a great option for any car that doesn't have a wifi hotspot when you have kids that need to be entertained on long trips or even on a quick ride to run some errands.
Features:
- Wifi hotspot that connects up to 8 devices at once.
- gas guage which tells you on your phone how much gas you have left and with a clock on it it will open gasbuddy to show you the nearest gas stations and gas prices as well.
- parking position: the app will show you where the car is parked, and I found this useful as i have no sense of direction and always forget where i parked.
- driving score report where the app will show you your driving score out of 100 based on acceleration, hard breaks, sharp turns, etc. this was nice to have although it wasn't always accurate.
- virtual mechanic: since this is an OBD 2 connected device, it has a virtual diagnosis tool that is generic and will show you things like battery status, air intake temp, engine coolant temp. again, its generic and will not replace a visit to the mechanic if you get a check engine light.
- trip counter where the app will show you each trip you took in the car with how much time you driven and the miles driven and a map of your route. this was nice to have.
- boundaries: where you can set boundaries for driving the car and everytime the car leaves the designated geo area you will get a notification on your phone. this is kinda good if you have a teenage driver, but beside sending a notification it really does nothing else.
- Curfew: same as boundaries, if the car is driven out of designated hours, you will get a notification.
- the 2 notifications i loved the most are getting notified if the device is removed from the car and if your car is being towed. those 2 are so much undervalued. I tried both and they both worked. ( i lifted the car while parked and it did work.
- impact detection setup: this one is great. when the car detects an impact you can create an automatic contact list and the phone will notify those who you chose and notify them that the car was an impact. I set it up but couldn't verify if it works well or not.
app functionality is very good, and am sure it will get better with time.
the gas gauge was off at times but its not a big deal.
using the app is also very easy: you create your profile and setup the settings to your liking including naming your wifi hotspot and changing the password.
WIFI quality: I would say its good 80% of the times, but at places it was spotty and was very slow. I tested the speed multiple times and it was ok, but not mind blowing. some throttling happened when 4 devices where connected at once.
I got this device mainly because of the wifi hot spot. if you need one in your car I suggest you get one too.
the rest of the features are nice to have but not essential.

The sweet spot between fun and professional
on April 26, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
This is my second high end drone after my Autel EVo that I have owned since September 2018 and WOW! the difference is AMAZING.
first of all, this package has all you need from 3 pairs of propellers to 3 batteries and 4 lens filters and a 3 battery charger and a power bank adapter to charge the remote from a battery if you are on the move, in addition to a water proof bag that fits everything.
Build quality is great and the fit and finish is what you might expect from the number one maker of drones.
the design is elegant yet rugged and you know that with minimal care this drone will last long.
control and menus: the software has come a long long way from before, the DJI fly app is wonderful and very easy to use and find all features and settings and it is very well thought.
A beginner will get used to using this drone and will be able to unlock its feature in no time. it is very easy to use.
picture and video quality: this is where this drone shines with its 10 bit color that makes taking videos and editing them later so much fun. and if you only want to use it to capture a family vacation or a breath taking scenery, you don't even need to edit the footage. the auto settings are amazing and they will not disappoint.
Speed and modes:
this drone comes with 3 flight settings and an advanced menu to configure what you need in more depth.
Cine: to take cinematic views and smoother transitions and it is the slowest. this is the best mode for videography.
Normal: which has the normal speed of the drone.
Sport mode: which unleashes the full potential and speed of this drone. I would wait until I become a bit more used to flying this drone before using sport mode because obstacle avoidance sensors are disabled in this mode.
battery life: I got about 28 minutes out of each battery and the remote charge was enough to drain all 3 batteries with no issues at all.
I LOVE this drone and can't wait to use it more and unlock its full potential.

Great value and features

SanDisk has long been a very reliable name when it comes to Micro SD cards, and when my son asked me if he can get a new SD card for his nintendo switch I got the opportunity to get him this card that has some other interesting features.
it is 128GB which means he can store a lot of game saves on it, it is water, shock, heat, and airport X-Ray resistant meaning it will have a longer life cycle and it supports up to a 100 MB/ second for read and 90 MB/ second for write which is fast...very fast. it also supports 4K UHD video play (depending on device, internet speed, and file size).
and most importantly, this is the Apex legends edition which meant that my son can now play his favorite game on Switch as well beside playing it on ps4 and PC. the game was free to download and playon Nintendo e-shop.
I am very satisfied with this product and the price is right as well.

Full size vacuum for a full size home
on March 23, 2021
Posted by: AKK1
from Aldie, VA, USA
****SUMMARY****
Dyson Outsize is a pricy high quality complete vacuuming solution for a large house and it replaces the need for the large heavy corded vacuum cleaners without sacrificing powerful suction, bin capacity, or versatility, and can be quickly switched to a hand held for smaller spaces, cars, and hard to reach areas. You will have no anxiety over battery run time with the 2 interchangeable batteries and the 2 chargers provided (one to be docked on the docking station and one that can be used to charge the spare battery.
The Dyson outsize is made in Malaysia.
****Environment where the Dyson Outsize is being used****
4 floors house of 2200+ square feet, with 48 indoor stair steps, hardwood, carpeting, kids, and 2 indoor pets.
The Dyspon outsize was competing with a full size corded vacuum cleaner from a big brand, another cordless stick vacuum cleaner from a big brand, and a smaller robot vacuum cleaner from a leading brand as well.
A full house vacuuming with the above mentioned non dyson cleaners used to take about 2 hours for a deep clean (about once a week) using all three of them on different floors with different settings for hardwood and carpet. We used to have to empty the stick vacuum bin at least twice, the robot vacuum cleaner twice, and the corded full sized vacuum cleaner once.
I didn’t know what to expect when we got the Dyson outsize because I always dreaded the task of vacuuming, and my wife and I would have bets and the loser would have to vacuum the house ( and I lost a lot!).
To save everyone the suspense, the Dyspon outsize did a full deep clean for the whole house and all the floors in 1.5 hours and the bin was emptied twice. This is a win in my book!
****Unboxing and getting ready for first use****
The Dyson outsize is packaged sensibly with no plastic bag waste whatsoever, everything was packaged neatly in recycled cardboard compartments and taking it out of the box was easy and pleasing.
What's in the box:
Dyson outsize
wand
2 battery packs
2 chargers
Wall mounted docking station
High torque XL cleaner head
Hair screw tool
Mini soft dusting brush
Stubborn dirt brush
Combination tool
Crevice tool
Wand storage clip
Battery charging guides, docking station installation manual, regulatory and safety information, and warranty activation guide.
Instructions said that I had to charge both batteries until full (about 4.5 hours) before using it for the first time. So while the batteries were charging I mounted the docking station on the wall using the supplied hanging screws (I used my own stud finder and drill to hang the dock safely and firmly in place in one of the storage cabinets we have). One of the 2 supplied chargers is to be used on the wall docking station so the vacuum is charging while sitting on the dock. The other one can be used with the extra battery using any electric outlet. The 2 chargers and the 2 batteries are identical and can be used interchangeably.
After the batteries were charged the Dyson outsize is now ready to be used.
****FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE****
Most notable features include:
A full size bin equal to full sized corded vacuums to reduce trips to empty the bin
2 swappable batteries for a peace of mind and enough run time to clean a larger house without running out of juice.
A very powerful Hyperdymium motor that delivers suction on par with my big corded vacuum cleaner
A full size cleaner head that covered more floor and cut the cleaning time by at least 25% without the need to use a corded vacuum cleaner and the need to switch between power outlets along the vacuuming process.
A dynamic load sensor which is very quick to change suction power and speed based on the floor you are vacuuming without the need to click, switch any buttons to make the vacuum conform to terrain change (between hardwood, carpet). This is very impressive and indeed time saving as you don't even need to change cleaner heads or floor mode. It works by increasing the suction power on carpet which makes the bristles dig deeper into the carpet to extract pet hair, and dirt while the soft carbon fiber filaments capture finer dust from hard floors and crevices. All of that extends the running time of the vacuum because it is always adjusting the suction power and speed depending on the flooring type its being used on without any lag.
There is an LCD screen on the dyson outsize that shows you remaining runtime, performance, and gives you the option to switch between modes (economy, automatic, and boost). Battery life will vary depending on the mode you are using. The eco mode can let each battery run to about 60 minutes of uninterrupted cleaning, while auto mode can deliver up to 40 minutes of runtime per battery, and finally the boost mode which you would rarely need to use can drain the battery in 5 minutes (this mode is used for intensive cleaning for ground in dirt)
The LCD screen also shows you when and how to clean and wash the filter and how to clear a blockage.
The Dyson outsize power doesn’t fade or gets less powerful when the battery is about to run out. It keeps working with the same power and suction until the battery is completely drained which allows for consistent cleaning everywhere the Dyson outsize is used.
The Dyson outsize can be easily transformed to a handheld to clean furniture, cars, smaller spaces.
You will appreciate how thought out this product and extensions provided because it is so versatile. I was able to easily clean SC vents, ceiling fans, floor vents, car vents and seats, furniture and upholstery, horizontal blinds and windows rails with so much ease. I have never ever done that in so little time and this much effectiveness.
One of the most impressive features is the mechanism of emptying the bin. It's very simple as you only need to lift the red toggle on the bin and it will release the dirt and empty the bin completely and comfortably. It's just a point and shoot function.
One of my favorite things about the Dyson outsize is the hair tool which is conically shaped to avoid tangling. It does suck out pet and human hair completely from upholstery, steps, and tight places.
The dyson outsize claims that it expels cleaner air that what it sucks in due to the machine filtration technology that traps 99.99% of particles, dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. So this is an added feature for me as it actually also cleans the air while running and captures the dust and particles that fly in the space where you are vacuuming.
With all the above mentioned features, using the Dyson outsize made vacuuming easier and less time consuming. The weight is balanced and it doesn’t make you tired while cleaning, doesn’t strain the arms, and it is a fairly lightweight weight at less than 8 pounds total. This is heavier than your usual stick cordless vacuum but what you sacrifice in more weight you get with exceptional battery life, bigger bin and oversized cleaning head.
The BOOST mode is great for carpets in high traffic areas. Yes it drains the battery faster but it absolutely sucks out all dirt and hair out of the carpet.
****FINAL THOUGHTS****
I really didn’t know what to expect before receiving and using the Dyson outsize, I didn’t dream that it could replace my fancy corded full sized vacuum cleaner, or that it will make the vacuuming process faster. It has exceeded all my expectations and it really became my go to for a full house vacuuming for all floors and stairs. It is comfortable to use, very well built and its intelligent as it does things like adjusting to the floor without any instructions from me and there is no need to replace the cleaner head to clean different types of floors. The XL cleaning head has a red switch to set the cleaning mode you want and I found that the middle setting is suitable for all floor types and I don't have to think about changing the order of cleaning anymore. Emptying the bin is easy and less frequent than any other cordless stick vacuum I know. Suction is powerful and amazing. Even the motor sound and loudness is very much less than my other corded and cordless vacuum cleaners.
Yes, the price is high. But if you can afford it, you will find no better, more comfortable, and versatile vacuum cleaner option that will do it all and last a long time.
This will replace any corded vacuum cleaner for indoor use no matter how good and powerful the vacuum is.
I am extremely satisfied with the Dyson outsize.

The phillips Sonicare one toothbrush is a very simple yet dependable product from Phillips and it is really good at what its supposed to do.
Design: the size of this toothbrush is perfect, as its not big nor small, has good grip that almost feels rubbery but its because of the plastic design twist along the handle of the toothbrush.
replacing the brush head is as easy as pulling it out and replacing it.
changing the batter is very small as it has a horizontal groove that you can open with penny or a flat head screw to take the cap off and replace the battery that is rated for 2 months of use.
the brush comes with a 2 minute timer with a 30 seconds left notification.
the movement and vibration of the brush is perfect.
the brush itself is medium so not soft or hard.
The case is very simple and takes no footprint whatsoever and its easy to take the brush out. you simply need to press at the end of the handle and the brush will pop out. the case is made of plastic with a silicone or rubber finish.
I really like this toothbrush and its in the perfect price point and I know it will be working for years since it comes from a reputable name like phillips.

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
 

Does the Garnin unit have to be plugged into the car charger for power when in use? If so does Garmin offer a hard wire kit with or for the unit or will any universal kit work?

it has to be plugged in at all times, and it comes with the charger and it is long enough to fit in any car.

Everything you love about Google, for work and play. Google Pixelbook is the first laptop with the Google Assistant* built in. Its super thin, 4-in-1 design includes a long-lasting battery and 7th Gen Intel® Core™** processor. It also comes with all the apps you already know and love including Youtube, Infinite Painter, Google Play Movies, Evernote, Slack, Lightroom, Google Photos and many more***.*Google Assistant requires Internet connection.**Intel and Intel Core are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries.***Availability and performance of certain apps and services may vary by region. Subscriptions(s) may be required, and additional terms, conditions and/or charges may apply. Pixelbook and Pixelbook Pen are optimized for selected apps and services only.
 

Why bother with the I7, when every review has the I5 running Chromium "ridiculously fast"? Ditto for RAM: Running small footprint apps instead of fully-fledged software begs the question, "What app needs 16GB?" The SSD upgrade I-get, but not for $700

absolutley no need for an I7, i have the I5 and it is blazing fast!
even no need to get a bigger SSD. the Pixelbook comes with 100GB of free storage for 2 years on Google Drive.

Will this system be expandable beyond the 3 included devices? I am considering this for a large building with solid concrete walls. We would probably need 6 or more of these to cover the whole building. Is this possible?

Yes. you can add as many nods as you need.
