Great responsive mouse
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
My experience with this mouse has been excellent. I have used it for hours and no issues. The mouse comes with a 6ft long braided USB cable for easy changing and you can use the mouse while connected. I also have the Corsair charging mouse pad and accepts any compatible Qi wireless charging pads.
It is very nice that it has many buttons such as the two buttons on the top left of the mouse. These buttons change the speed of the mouse. Another button that is useful for gamers is the sniper mode button this button slows down the speed of the mouse to snipe better in-game. The buttons are programmable and customizable. The mouse has a very nice fit for many hands and has the capability to switch the right side grip. My son and I use it a lot and we are very satisfied with all the features provided by this mouse.

Powerful portable speaker
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Sony Speaker is portable, loud, and simple to handle; three essential features that make it a great speaker. They have a very nice cylindrical design and comes with many fun features that enhance one’s listening experience. Firstly, its portability allows you to bring the music with you wherever you may go. The sound is effective and easy to adjust. It comes with the lights that you choose to leave on or off while playing your music. Keeping the lights off preserves energy, while leaving them on adds to the fun. One feature I truly enjoy is the Bluetooth pairing feature. With it, you can connect two Sony speakers to keep the sound loud in different places in the house. The quality of the material is quite sturdy. Certainly, my family and I will be using this speaker a lot.

Take the party anywhere with this Sony portable speaker. It's safe to use at the pool or beach thanks to an IP67 rating that allows total water immersion, and flashing lights add mood to the music. This Sony portable speaker's Extra Bass keeps things pumping, and the Live Sound feature provides three-dimensional audio.

Excellent Portable Speaker
on March 25, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The sound produced by this speaker is one of the best I have heard from all portable speakers. I like the extra bass that gives a boost to produce the best beats. I can definitely feel it across my big living room; which is quite wide. The speaker has a Live Sound button that when pressed it gives a real three-dimensional listening experience. The speaker’s box has an angled design which sends the music to a wider area. I initially used the speaker without the Sony app and it worked well, but I later downloaded the app and this gave me more control of the speaker setting. The app allows you control over the lighting mode, sound mode, turn on, and adjust the Power Booster, and play with the DJ effect setting. The first day I got this speaker I used it for many hours -first for exercising and later doing chores around the house. Good music played on this speaker will keep you very active for hours.
The Party Booster is advertised for party events but I find it excellent for dance exercise because you move more by holding the speaker and taping the sides to add your own beat sound to your favorite music. Five sides of the speaker produce different sound with the tap of your hand on each side. If you have another Sony portable speaker with WPC (wireless party chain) you can link them together spread your music even further. Overall, I am very satisfied with this speaker.

Great portable projector
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This Epson Home Cinema 3LCD projector is great to watch in a home theater room or any place since it is portable. It fits excellently in a backpack and it has its own internal speaker. The size is just slightly thinner than most projectors and its weight is light. If you are going to use a projector stand, just note that it only has three holes for attachment. It has all the necessary type of connections that you may need for today’s devices.
The best feature about this projector is that it does a perfect job at horizontal and vertical image correction, this is “Keystone correction.” That is one less thing you need to struggle with during setup because the projector does it automatically. It corrects itself to project a rectangular image from any angle. This is perfect for portability because you will sometimes need to project on a wall that is not at the best angle.
The fan noise level at normal mode is average -not too loud. When set in economy mode, the noise level is greatly reduced to the point that it is unnoticeable. The cooling fan has a small filter to prevent dust entering the unit. I will mostly use this projector in economy mode for two reasons: to have the least noise and to prolong the life of the lamp.
To sum up, this projector is fantastic for any meeting room, for portability use, and as a bonus, to watch quality videos. This is an excellent cinema projector.

Good headphones
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
The Sony WH-CH500 Wireless headphones are comfortable, although the cushion is a little too small. The size and weight is excellent to store in a backpack or medium purse. The quality of the audio is good, although they won’t completely block out the ambient sound as much as one would expect unless the volume of the headphones is raised up to a high volume. It is quite simple to connect the headphones via Bluetooth to another device, and the battery life lasts a decent time-about an entire day. Of course, battery life does depend on the use of the product, but I believe for general use the battery life is fair. Overall, this are good headphones for small or medium size heads and we are satisfied with the product.

For complete cyber-security
on March 4, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
I feel more secure that all of my smart connected home devices are protected. This device would prevent a hacker from entering your home network through any of your internet connected device. Nowadays there are tons of connected devices besides computers, smartphones, and tablets that use the internet, such as TVs, game consoles, printers, security system and cameras, refrigerators, garage door opener, lighting fixtures/bulbs, and etc… The Bitdefender BOX has a nice clean and futuristic look.
With the Quick Start Guide, the setup is easy and straightforward. You will need to download an app and create an account, the app will guide you through the rest of the setup process. The app will instruct you to plug the power cord into the device and the wall outlet, then wait for the LED. Next, connect the box to your Wi-Fi network, this step has three options (1) use the Wi-Fi router from your internet service provider (ISP), (2) use your own personal Wi-Fi router or (3) use the Bitdefender box as a standalone Wi-Fi router. My setup was very easy without an issue; for my setup, I used my Wi-Fi router. One excellent feature of this device is that if you encounter any issue during a setup you may call the 24/7 free setup assistance number.
Once everything is set up, the Bitdefender scans all connected devices and continuously search for any weakness. The app will let you know of ongoing events and this will help prevent security threats. It really blocks suspicious links and blocks them; they can be phishing attempts. If you are certain that a link is safe, you can simply allow it with the Bitdefender Central app.
Nowadays it is very important to protect our data, such as family photos, digital documents, and credit card bank information. If your network is not protected you have a possible cyber vulnerability. The device includes the Bitdefender Total Security software to remotely protect your computers. The subscription is for one-year and is for unlimited devices. The device also includes various parental safety controls, such as setting content filtering, manage daily internet usage, blackout potential harmful persons, and monitor texts. To close, I highly recommend Bitdefender to protect your home network with a complete cybersecurity.

Great TV with excellent picture quality and sound
on February 21, 2018
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
My family and I were very, very excited to get this TV! This Smart TV connects to the internet, as well as many other devices at home. Everything to do with setting it up was fairly simple, and it only required one wire to turn on the TV. Moreover, the resolution on the screen is great, and the image is very well sharpened; The screen is wide, making the living room seem bigger. Also, the sound is loud and clear. If you can’t locate the remote control, don’t panic because on the TV there are all the buttons needed to control the TV, including a scroll-wheel. The TV comes with a variety of features and 27 pre-installed apps, including our family favorite’s: Vudu, Netflix, and Youtube (These apps along with Amazon are on the remote for immediate access). It also has Game Center, Dailymotion, and Pandora. Although we have not tried it yet, you can also download other apps you wish to have. Therefore, one can not only watch movies and shows on this television, but can also play and download different games and apps, and stream and access music online!
The settings I used: Sports mode, brightness 47, contrast 53, Color 53, dynamic backlight off, aspect auto, eco sensor off, noise off, adaptive off, sharpness 10, ultra smooth standard, and back light 100. For our type of room lighting condition and the type of movies we watch, this is the best setting for my family. You have to adjust the setting to get the images that are best for you. The key is playing with the setting.
Considerably, this is a good investment for as you can do many things with it; it has a ton of bells and whistles at a great price. Overall, we are very satisfied with the product.

Awesome speaker with voice command
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: SimpleLiving
from Tampa, FL
This is an awesome speaker that comes with Google Assistant.
It is easy to set up with a smartphone or tablet. Simply download the Google Home app and then follow instructions. I did not encounter any issue during the setup. Included in the setup is an offer for a free trial of Google Play Music and YouTube Red. Once Google Assistant is set up with JBL speaker, the assistant is activated by saying “Hey Google” or “Ok Google”. The device’s microphone does work as expected, detecting your command even when playing loud music or speaking to it from long distance range. My son spoke “Ok Google” from the second floor of my house and the speaker was able to detect it. I had no Bluetooth connection issues, it did work great.
The weight and compact size of this speaker truly make this very portable. The sound produced by this very small device is very nice with great bass. I have not tested the device’s waterproof feature but I prefer not to risk it. It’s good to have portable devices be waterproof, many devices are damage because of water/drink splash accidents. If you ever need to press the buttons on the speaker they are very easy to find and are backlit. To end, this is an awesome speaker because it is truly portable, has great sound and it comes with Google Assistant.

Make a smart solution to upgrade your home security to IndoorCam Mini. Never second-guess what you see in clear 2K resolution, and give yourself control with pan and tilt functions to monitor your home’s most vital areas. IndoorCam Mini features On-Device AI Human Detection, a technology that identifies humans in the frame and only sends you the notifications that matter. After returning home, you can turn on Home Privacy Mode, which turns off the camera and rotates it to your preferred privacy angle. Best of all, there’s no monthly fee after your purchase.
 

Can this camera do motion tracking for People ONLY? And stay still for everything else? Or will it track every movement. I'd rather have it track people only instead of cars driving by etc.

The eufy - IndoorCam Mini is not designed for outdoor video recording, it is not weather resistant. It does record every movement.

Can this indoor camera be set up in a window to record outdoor activity? I can’t use a doorbell camera due to a porch pillar blocking the view of the mailbox. I am looking for something to capture both the mailbox and the porch steps.

Yes, it could work on a window, but make sure the night vision feature is turned off in the setting. Night camera emits infrared light to capture images in the dark. If infrared is emitted in front of a window, it will be reflected to the camera and distort the image. Just turn off the night vision.

Does anyone know what size of AC adapter this comes with? I know the higher models come with a 240W but that would kind of be overkill for this one

AC Adapter Model A20-180P1A
Input: 100-240V~50-60Hz 2.5A
Output: 20.0V---9.0A 180.0W
See image and I hope this helps.

Would the battery life in this last me throughout a typical 6-7 hour school day?

It has a long battery life and it has the feature to use a power bank. One of the USB-C ports is Type-C PD, power delivery, which will allow you to use and charge the laptop with a power bank. Very versatile power options: (1) original power input port, (2) Type-C port simultaneously or (3) individually. Using simultaneously the power port and Type-C port, the laptop can be used and at the same time it is charged fast.

Hello I am planning on moving overseas in a few months (South Korea) Is this product covered by international warranty? If not, is there a way to purchase the premium care for notebooks that provides international services?

According to the warranty card (ASUS Warranty Card e14568 v4), "This Warranty applies in the county or purchase". On page 7 of the warranty card, #4 ASUS DOES NOT perform warranty service outside the county where you bought the Notebook.
There is an additional step needed to enjoy comprehensive internation warranty service. Must visit ASUS Service Center website for detailed locations.

Is this anti reflective matt screen or glossy ? good for outdoor use ? Screen nits ?

It is an anti-reflective matte screen, not glossy at all. The screen is not reflective at all, so I think it would work for outdoor use.

It says in the specs that there is no Front-Facing Camera when I believe they added it in these models. So, does it have the webcam?

Yes it does. The ASUS - ROG 16" WUXGA 144Hz Gaming Laptop does have a Front-Facing Camera. The webcam image quality is good quality. See my attached image of the front facing camera.
