Very stylish, feature rich watch!
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The watch not only looks great but functions great too!The watch band is light, but still feels pretty strong. The metal itself doesn't twist or warp, when bending or pushing on the wrist band, but the links provide just enough maneuverability for everything to feel comfortable. The band can easily be removed from the watch, with the quick release pins located at both ends of the band. They are hidden well enough, so as they are not accidentally hit. Yet can easily be pinched together, to detach the band. There are a lot of different options through BestBuy or Fossil, for watch straps, and metal bands, if you wanted it to be more of a matching accessory for outfits. To shorten or lengthen the band, it is a little more difficult. The best option is to either take it to a watch repair store, or order a watch link removal kit. Otherwise it can be a pain in the buns to find the right width piece of metal to gently hammer through the links without slipping and damaging something. The link pins can be removed from either side, and re-assemble much easier than it is to get them out. Just as a side note, after the pin is removed, there is a tiny sleeve that will also fall out of the links, so make sure you keep track of both pieces.If you do decide to buy additional straps or bands, the watch faces can be changed by the included settings, or by downloading any watch face app from the google store.Because this watch is universal for both Android and iPhone, some additional apps may be needed to customize the features for looks, or functionality.I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, that most everything worked perfectly out of the box, except for my phone's alarm clock notifications. It just would not give me the option to cancel or snooze the alarms from my watch. After checking several different settings on the watch, and my phone, I confirmed that all the possible permissions were allowed, leaving no reason this should not work. However, it still did not work. The fix for this was simple enough, I had to download to my Note 8 the "Alarm Clock, by Google Inc.", once I did, and re-entered my alarms, everything worked perfectly.This smartwatch has pretty much every feature available, except a camera.It has it's own built in GPS, WIFI card, Bluetooth, speaker, microphone,heart beat sensor, fit tracker and high definition display.  The watch is water resistant to about 30 meters (3 ATM), so it should be fine for light swimming, and washing. One of the cooler features of the watch is it's NFC technology, giving you Google Pay, directly from your wrist. This watch pretty much does it all, giving you almost no reason to ever take your phone out of your pocket. Google assistant can be triggered easily through the microphone or one of the buttons. You can send texts and call contacts directly from the assistant, as well as search google for anything you need.The touch screen is pretty accurate and responsive. The watch face glass itself is a mineral crystal like most traditional watches. While mineral crystal is fairly good with impacts, it is still pretty easy to scratch, so one more recommendation would be to get a good screen protector (44mm).During my use, I kept the always on display (active), and set the heart beat tracker to activate every 5 minutes. On a full charge the watch was able to last all day. It even has three built in battery saver modes, that could extend the life of the watch for a few days. It will even fast charge to 80% in an hour, if you forget to plug it in before you go to bed.The music controls work pretty good, especially with Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud, Google Play, iTunes or Apple Music. Plus, the watch even has it's own storage(8GB), for downloading music, or other data.
The watch can be used to make calls, directly from the dial, using it's built in speakers and microphone. The audio actually comes through very clear on both ends of the call. I have been able to use the watch's speakers for calls that I make or answer directly from the watch dial, but so far, not from the phone. I have been unable to transfer the audio to the watch after using the actual phone to initiate or answer calls, I'm not sure if this a Samsung issue, or not, but it would be nice to see this feature in an upcoming software upgrade.
So far the watch has been very fun, and extremely convenient to use. I love reading and answering all my texts, from my wrist. It's also another huge plus, to have a hands free speakerphone for calls available all the time.  Google assistant helps fill in some of the blanks while using the watch. The keyboard works well on the watch, but I do have man hands, and sometimes press the wrong letters. With the assistant, you can dictate what you would like typed instead of actually typing it. Google Assistant also makes it easier to find contacts, dial numbers , get directions, set alarms, reminders, and calendar events.

Record high-definition road footage with this Rexing dual-channel rearview mirror camera system. The 1296p front mirror and 720p HD rear cameras capture traffic incidents at different perspectives, and the 10" touch-screen display provides simple control. The G-sensor on this Rexing dual-channel rearview mirror camera system ensures that videos recorded during detected collisions are locked.

nice design, good video captures
on November 8, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The best part about this dash cam is the 10" display screen, it uses the full reverse mirror as a touch screen display, making it very easy to see your recordings, and to select features. It also uses a special horizontal view about 1/3rd of what the camera actually sees and records, so that everything doesn't look too compressed and distorted. You can still see the rest of the video by re-positioning the view up or down, to see what doesn't fit into the mirror screen, but the standard view is usually perfect.The video quality is pretty good during the day, everything is very distinguishable, and the detail on vehicles and buildings is pretty good, however it is very difficult to make out words smaller than probably a foot in height. License plates and street signs are rarely legible, unless you are literally sitting on top of them. This is fairly typical with a lot of dash cams, especially as everything is always in motion.The cameras must come with a very low lux rating( which is good), I can only presume, because they seems to pick up most things in low light areas, but pretty much nothing in pure darkness. In the settings there is an option for "night mode" on or off. When in the "on" mode, glare is cut down slightly at night, and darker areas are smoother looking, and less grainy.There is a microphone mounted on the device that seems to pick up all the cabin sounds., and the speaker is loud enough to hear everything during playback. The device is very easy to install, just make sure the front facing camera is extended out to the side, then place the unit over your existing rear view mirror , and pull the two rubber straps around the back of the mirror, and latch them to the bottom of the dash cam. I love how less obtrusive this is, over other dash cams that take up too much of your windows view. Once the Dash cam is attached you can add the power and optional rear view camera input. The rear camera is the only thing that is going to take a little bit of effort, to run the wires, and attach in a good spot. The camera actually disconnects from the bulk of the wires, so that you can run the wires easier, and then just plug the camera back in afterwards. The wide angle view on both cameras is pretty good at 140 degrees, but even more impressive as there is almost no fish-eye distortion in the videos.The cam also has a G-Sensor, that can be set to different sensitivities to automatically save protected videos of accidents or someone tampering with your car while it's unattended. There is no GPS, so this can not log your speed or travels in that manner. However there is a GPS port on the top of the cam, that at this moment does not function, but according to Rexing support, they are planning on making this an active port through a future firmware revision.It also does not have any wireless capabilities to your phone, wifi, or other cameras.. But at this price point with those features, that would be a steal.It does however have guided back up lines for parking, when wired correctly.If you splice the red rear camera wire into the reverse lights, every time you put the vehicle into reverse, the rear camera is activated on screen, and the guide lines are present.As with most dash cams, you can take still photos from the menu on the touch screen.You can adjust a lot of the features in the settings, including video length, duration, volume, exposure, G-sensor and video looping.The playback menu includes folders for both the front camera and rear camera. These videos run in full screen isolated of each other. They do not play side by side, so you get the full view of each while watching them back. All the videos are date and time stamped so you could find the corresponding rear view with the same time as the front camera if needing to show both perspectives for any reason. There are also two extra folders in the playback menu one extra for the front and one for the back, they are labeled with "F" and "R" but also have a small notation to the bottom right of the letter that is too small for me to make out. I asked Rexing support about these, and they didn't have much to say, so I am assuming these folders might be for a future recording feature not yet implemented.If you are looking for a decent quality dual camera system than this should meet your needs.
*****WARNING - do not update your firmware to Version: M1-36-966-190403 after doing the update from the Rexing website, it has made my camera inoperable. The front camera output is black, and the rear camera output is off center and digitized. Rexing is not sure why this has happened to my dash cam, and is trying to find a solution. So just a word of caution, although, this could be an isolated incident with my cam.

Ultra workout from an ultra compact device
on November 7, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
I just can't get over how little space this system takes up.
It fits in both my hands, making it extremely easy to take anywhere.
No more excuses for not having the space at home, or in a travel bag, when going somewhere.
The design is simple, and very easy to use, and adjust. The easiest way for most people to use this, is to drape it over an open door, nearest to the hinge, then close and lock the door. Next you can adjust the straps to your liking of height, although they do recommend the handles dangle three inches from the ground, and the "locking loop" be six feet from the ground, for an optimal workout.
It is very important to keep the door strap as close to the hinges as possible, as this is where the door frame is the strongest. otherwise, depending on your weight and strength of the door, you might break something. I'm 240lbs, and with the strap in the middle,top of the door, it looked like I was going to pull the door out of it's latch.
Realistically this so easy to take anywhere, as it even comes with an additional suspension strap that can be wrapped around anything sturdy enough, including a tree, thick metal poles, pull up bars, or anything else that can support your weight.
So this really is the bring anywhere workout tool.
The principles here are very similar to the total gym, as this uses your body weight to be the resistances for your workouts, except this is way more compact and transportable.
The best thing about it using your own body weight is, that it is pretty much always going to be the right resistance for your workouts.You can lessen or multiply the resistance in your workouts by how and where your body is positioned in accordance with the top of the TRX straps. I have a bad back, so I had to start out with minimizing my resistance, and so far it has worked great, and it really feels good to be able to workout again.Inside the box, is a poster with the basic forms and ideas on how to use the TRX correctly, but there is also a code inside the box, that can unlock a bunch of customized videos to further your knowledge on how to improve your workouts, and point out a lot of moves that you probably wouldn't have thought about. It advertises 100+ workouts, and they were serious.So far I am very impressed with the TRX system and it's videos. The only negative thing I can say, which actually doesn't have anything to do with the TRX system, is that they included 4 free resistance bands as a bonus, but I haven't seen any instructions, or workout tips for those. As those are not really part of the system, and were free, I can't really complain, and will probably look on youtube for some workout tips on those. Otherwise I am really enjoying the TRX Elite System!

super convenient, and easy to use
on November 5, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
I love how easy it is to use rhis keyboard. It's very simple to connect to any type of device. For PC's or devices without Bluetooth, there is a USB reciever in the battery compartment. For Bluetooth devices, you simply have to hold down one of the two device buttons for three seconds, to put the keyboard into pairing mode. Then , go to your device and connect to the keyboard through your Bluetooth settings. When trying to connect, a code will pop up on your screen. All you have to do, is type the code into the keyboard and press enter, you are now connected, and can quickly switch between active devices by selecting the correct device on the keyboard.
The keyboard also comes with 15 FN keys for quick shortcuts to your devices functions. ie,.. volume, play,screen brightness, back button, lock, menu,..etc.
Although this keyboard was designed for Chrome, it can be used on anything. The keyboard has virtually every keyboard layout programmed into it, and the layouts can be accessed by holding down two keys for 3 seconds.
Windows,.. "fn" + "P"
Mac,.... "fn" + "O" (this is not a zero)
iPhone,.... "fn" + "i"
Chrome,.... "fn" + "8"
Android,.... "fn" + "9"
The keyboard does have two keys that are assigned to the Google Assistant and Chrome Apps, while the layout is set for Chrome.
These keys change functionality based on the layout selected.
( see attached pics )
Aside from all the cool key features this keyboard offers, the next best impressive thing is the battery life. Under typical use, they are projecting 2-years of use with standard alkaline AAA's. (it takes 2 batteries)
That is some pretty impressive power usage.
Switching between devices is very convenient, no need to open up any settings, or do anything else ( provided your 2 devices have already been paired ) . Just simply hit the device button you want, and start typing. Go back and forth between the two devices as often as needed without skipping a beat.
The keyboard is compact, and has a very low profile, but feels very sturdy, the keys feel soft to the touch, and are relatively quiet, with just a light sound, depending on how hard or fast you are typing.
Even though it is compact, it doesn't shift around at all when placed on a level surface. There are rubber stoppers on the bottom of the device to keep it from moving, but there is also a nice weight to it, which adds to holding it in place.
I have actually typed this whole review with the K580, while it was sitting on a newspaper on my kitchen table, and it hasn't budged an inch. It really holds it's place very well. But does offer an impressive wireless range of slightly over 32 feet, for people that might like to lounge on the couch or anywhere else and still be able to use your devices.

all the features of a high end laptop and tablet
on November 4, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
There is so much to like about this laptop, it comes with a lot of bells and whistles....fingerprint scanner, full size keyboard with backlit keys, full HD touch screen with pen support, thunderbolt 3, and usb 3.1 ports, hdmi, a media reader. Dell Mobile connect,PCIe NVMe SSD with Optane , web cam, Dell Cinema, Express Charge, and of course the best feature probably being that this is a 2-in-1 device
The 2-in-1 feature is great, the laptop folds very easily but holds it's position at practically any angle. You can even position it on it's side, and get a portrait look, just like your phone. The touch screen is very responsive and accurate. I also like the fact that Dell engineered this laptop to be able to maintain a constant flow of air ,for cooling, no matter it's position, or what it's sitting on (even a pillow). They even managed to create adaptive thermals, this 2-in-1 is supposed to be smart enough to know when it's in your hands, your lap, or a desk, and adapt the air flow to reduce hot-spots for your comfort.
Optane Drives are very handy for increasing the speed of any device with a hard drive. It's way faster than just a standard HDD ( ex,.an Optane M.2 module placed in a 7th-gen Core motherboard can speed up overall performance by 28% and increase data access by 1400%)Although Optane technology isn't currently much faster than 3D NAND, the biggest advantage when they are paired together, is in the lower latency access times, which make this 4 to 5 times faster.Optane has the capabilities to make the programs and files that you access the most, faster to retrieve as Optane holds those files in it's memory, even after shut downs for quicker processing times when you want to use them again.
The GeForce integrated graphics offers 3D capabilities and can easily handle photo and video edits, and even play a lot of games smoothly. Although, I found that the more demanding games like Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, and Fortnite could still run good, but at reduced video qualities.  The installed RAM is 8GB of DDR4, but can be upgraded to a max of 16GB, for some additional performance.  
the Express charge lets you go from 0% to 35% in just 20 minutes, and 80% in 1 hour
Dell Cinema offers the best in current HDR with Dolby Vision, and improved audio with Waves MaxxAudio Pro, and it even tries to enhance your streams by using SmartByte to maximize channel bandwidth for reduced stutter and maximum video quality.
The Dell Mobile connect is really a fascinating feature, it lets you connect directly to your smart phone and funnel your notifications from calls, texts, IMs and other apps, directly to your laptop, so that your phone can stay in your pocket or wherever while you are working on your laptop.
The description states the keyboard as being "RGB" , but after looking through the settings and a very lengthy call to dell support, we have concluded that the only color available on this laptop's keyboard backlight is white. Not too sure why it was mentioned in the description of this model, unless it was a fluke that I got a different variant of this laptop. After scrolling through the hardware specifications, Dell support was able to see that the keyboard on my laptop is only capable of the white backlight. Everything else, as far as I have seen seems to be correct about the descriptions.
This laptop does have an impressive array of features similar to a higher end or more expensive device, and while the performance is good, it's not as good as some of my other more expensive pc's. However for the price range it is in, it performs very well and has a lot to offer. Most of the benchmarks I performormed had this laptop ranking above average for it's class. The only test that came out lower than average was the graphics, but as I had stated earlier, the graphics are still good enough to play most games, just some at a reduced video quality.
The laptop is light enough to carry anywhere, but still sturdy enough to hold it's form while flipping it around, I have noticed that on some lower quality devices that the frame will twist a little bit, if you are only using one hand to hold it, but not this one.
Overall I think this 2-in-1 laptop is a great mid-grade device, that should be able to handle virtually all of your general needs. This laptop is designed more for convenience with it's ability convert easily into a writing tablet, a drawing pad, a TV, a game pad, web browser, and more especially with the included Cortana features.

Awesome 1080p display
on October 19, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The monitor is Full HD. Full HD or FHD, for some that are unaware simply means a 1920 x 1080 resolution in a 16:9 display. Full HD does not mean you are getting the highest resolution available at the time of production. Actually anything over 640 x 480 is considered HD (high definition), and there are a few different resolutions and ratios in between, so FHD just means that you are not getting one of the lower HD resolutions. 1920 x 1080 still offers great clarity and a wide range of colors. I am including some photos taken with my phone, of the monitor's screen for some reference. I am very aware that there are a lot of the factors involved in how these pictures will look, based on your current screen's settings and capabilities, over the actual camera on my phone (Galaxy Note8). However, I wanted to provide a small reference point to maybe show how nice the image quality is.
The monitor is plug and play, but you can download drivers from LG's website. ( I noticed no difference in features or performance by downloading the drivers.)
The FreeSync is a great feature for gamers if you have an AMD graphics card. FreeSync - matches frame rates of compatible AMD graphics card, creating smoother game play and no screen lag. With a refresh rate of 75Hz @ 5milliseconds, screen lag should not be an issue for pretty much any game, or graphics card. All the games I played had great response times, and very smooth, clear images. This monitor also has a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and 250 cd/m² brightness, for a wide color gambit, and increased level of clarity. 
The viewing angle is actually pretty wide, 178 degrees with the IPS display- (In Plane Switching LCDs offer greater viewing angles over the older matrix LCD monitors, which use to put out restricted viewing angles and degraded colors ) This screen retains it's clarity and colors at pretty much any angle you would want to be viewing at. 
Like most computer monitors this does not have any internal speakers, but does have a headphones jack in the back of the display.The control buttons have actually been minimized to a small joystick on the bottom center of the screen. At first I thought that was going to be a bit awkward, but actually works very well, and is pretty easy to find.
Assembly was extremely easy. The base comes with a built in screw, that can be tightened with a quarter if need be, to the neck of the stand. Which in turn can be placed into the back of the monitor at an angle( which helps hold the monitor and stand together) while you find the 2 screws and a phillips screwdriver.  The stand does allow the screen to tilt at various angles. If you don't care for the stand, the monitor does have holes for a wall mount.
Overall this monitor delivers a great picture for a 1080p display, the clarity and colors are much better than my older monitor(which was only a couple years old).Everything runs smooth and looks very impressive, especially with the low glare display, I love not having as many reflective distractions on the screen!

follow directions for best results
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
I would first like to mention how nice this blender looks, the brushed nickel looks very classy, and the picture is heavy glass, with a removable blade and base. Overall the look and feel of the device and glass is pretty high quality. The buttons are protected with a durable layer of plastic, yet still very easy to press. The covered buttons also make for very easy cleaning.
The Oster Master series blender offers many preset blending functions. It's very easy to select what you want and either press the play/start button or the pulse button to start blending. The pulse button by itself is used to get chunkier blends. However you really need to read the directions to get the hang of how to use the chunky features properly, otherwise you will just end up pureeing everything.
When prepping for larger chunk cuts/blends you really need to make sure you have enough liquid in the picture, or place the items you don't mind pureed on the bottom, so they can give the larger items more room to move down to the blades. I found that I was getting smaller chunks than I wanted because of these two issues, but also because I was using very large pieces of food. I wanted to see how it would do, with the minimal amount of work from the user. ( I have included some pics to show the before and after effects of my attempts)
I think big chunks are possible with this blender, but under the right circumstances. Of course, these terms are all relative to one's own perspective. I was aiming for Chunky soup in a can size bits.
Again I think it is possible , if you have the right amount of loose fluid, and the right size chops to start with. Then simply hit the pulse button a few short times to get your desired size cuts.
The smoothies and milk shakes came out perfect. After selecting the right buttons and hitting start, the machine goes through a series of higher and lower speed cycles to help circulate the food, so not just the bottom of the jar gets chopped up.
The salsa even came out really good on the recommended cycles. with small chunks, perfect for dipping, yet still big enough to sit on the chip. (see pictures)
Overall I think this is a GREAT blender with great consistencies, and a pretty good chopper( with a little experimenting )
If the pictures come out in the right order:
1- large chunk experiment , 2 - chunky soup , 3- smoothie ingredients (added as is) , 4 - smoothie , 5- milkshake , 6- salsa

Easy setup , great for multiple users
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This router is designed for medium to large homes.
Out of the box it promises 3000 sq. ft. , but can easily connect to other
Velop nodes to increase wifi coverage in much larger spaces.
The router and any nodes necessary can easily be set up with the Linksys
app.
It took less than a minute to connect my phone to the router, and rename
the SSID with a new password.
The app also allows users to go more advanced and enter quality of service
settings as well as parental controls. The app even lets you monitor or
change settings outside of your home network, ie. work or on the road ( as
long as you can connect to the internet ). Which is a great feature if you
need to modify parental controls or allow guest user access while you are
not home.
The best feature of this router is the tri-band with MU-MIMO technology.
This is what makes it possible to have several users on the network
utilizing larger bandwidths, but all receiving high quality uninterrupted
bandwidth as if each user was the only one on the network. The Tri-Band
signal consists of one 2.4ghz signal, with two 5ghz signals. The two 5ghz
signals split the band down the middle creating one high band and one lower
band signal. The intelligent features find the best signal paths to allow
for the fastest internet connections.
MU-MIMO stands for Multi-User - Multiple Input/ Multiple Output which
allows for more antennas on the router, to be used for simultaneous input
and output signals.
So far this router has lived up to it's promises (within the limits of our
ISP, fios 1Gbps) Everyone has had a solid connection for both games and
streaming, which is something that would make our games suffer at, in the
past. Streams use to freeze and glitch if too many people were downloading
at the same time. The MR9000 handles all this with no glitches and what
seems to be minimal to no lag.

Cooks everything the right way!
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The Chefman 7-in-1 cooker is the most versatile cooker in our house.
The machine itself is a very classy looking countertop oven. The brushed stainless steel front, with large knobs, and large glass window in the door, makes this look like someone shrunk a full size high end oven. The non stick interior makes cleaning pretty easy. However the basket, rack and crumb tray are not non-stick, so they might require a little bit of soaking depending on what gets on them.
The first thing I cooked, was actually just a slice of toast. There is definitely room for 6 slices, but I wasn't that hungry.
I left the rack on the lower level, and was surprised that both sides were toasted the same, and very evenly. There is also plenty of height in this mini oven, so toasting bagel halves or even bagel sandwiches would work with ease.
I next tried some frozen chicken wings using the recipe in the included book. They came out fully cooked and juicy. The exterior was slightly crisp, but not that much. It could have been because of the type of frozen wings I used. I like my wings very crispy, so I turned up the temp to the max setting, and cooked them for another 10 minutes. They came out perfect, very crispy on the outside, and still a little juicy on the inside.
I also tried air frying a few unseasoned wings, the left side of the tray had no oils, and the right side had a light mist of olive oil. Both sides seemed to crisp up the same. I really like how well air frying works with no oils. (I am including some pictures of the cooked wings.)
All functions of this oven work great, the only limitation I could possibly foresee would be the 60 minute cooking timer, but nothing I would cook would even come close to that. So far everything cooked has come out great, with a little tweaking for my personal preferences.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to use the right cooking function for the right foods. If you are not sure, try looking on the internet for recipes specifically designed for the type of cooking you are doing. They say that chicken wings and small sections of meat, fries and chips turn out really good in the air fryer. They also say that because air fryers don't force hot air down on top of food, it cooks quicker, without drying out foods, so souffles, cookies and baked goods turn out great also. You can even cook hard boiled eggs without the water. Some foods to NOT cook with the air fryer would be fresh vegetables, battered goods, and foods with loose seasoning.
The convection oven setting is very similar to the air fryer, except it takes a little longer to cook, and can dry out certain foods. Works well for roasts, roasted veggies, pizzas, casseroles and sheet pan dinners, as well as other dishes that you would want cooked evenly. Convection ovens recirculate the heated air, giving a more consistent temperature throughout the oven. But are not good for cooking cakes, quick breads, custards, or soufflés.
For everything else you can use the regular bake or broil setting for traditional oven cooking. The drip pan can even be used to hold water for steaming foods in the basket.

fast prints with great text color and detail
on September 26, 2019

This LASER printer might not be as fast as some of the more expensive laser printers, but it's still faster than most inkjet printers with 19ppm for color or black&white prints.Even full page photos print just as quick. I have noticed some banding in full size prints on plain paper and thicker matte paper, but to be fair laser printers are not really known for their photo printing. For best photo prints with a laser printer, make sure to buy photo paper designed for laser printers, as there is a big difference in how inkjet and laser printers print. Inkjet printers use liquid ink, that needs to soak into the media to create the images. Laser printers use a laser to heat up powdered ink off a roller, to create the image on the media. Using the wrong type of photo paper will not turn out favorable results with either type of printer. While inkjet printers usually have more of an assortment in printing media, you can still find some decent options for laser printers, including waterproof, labels and photo papers.Where laser printers really excel is with volume and overall price per prints. The standard cartridges can yield 1300 to 1400 prints, while the high yield cartridges put out about 3000 pages. Printing per page is usually less than half the cost of inkjet printers. Although when you are first setting up your laser printer, it might seem a lot more expensive, because most of the expenses are up front. Just keep in mind that it will be a lot longer till your need for more toner. Inkjets typically yield between 300 pages for standard and 600 pages for high yield, which is partially why the hardware and ink tanks are a lot cheaper.
Even though this model does put out some good fast prints, it lacks some of the higher end features, like a lcd touch screen. The display on this printer is very small, and only one line. The buttons are just as limited as the screen, with basic functionality. You can still access the wifi settings, and general options, but it seems a little tedious. Especially using the manual paper feeder. First off, you have to access the general settings, then the paper tray settings, and finally the "manual tray" option. Here you need to scroll to "on" , and then exit the menu. From here anytime I pre-loaded my piece of paper into the paper feeder, I would forever get an error, saying there is a paper jam in the manual paper tray. I even called customer support, but they were not much help, as they wanted to sync up through my laptop with the printer to try to diagnose the problem. I eventually figured out that it would print from the manual tray, if I didn't try to pre-load the piece of paper. So, just to re-iterate, the settings were set to print from the manual tray, but would only do it, if I left the manual paper tray empty while I hit print. then the printer would ask for the paper to be loaded. I would then load the paper and insert it into the machine as far as it would go, without bending the paper up. The printer would notice the paper, and then take it for printing. 
Overall I am still pleased with this printer for my needs, it gets the job done pretty good, and there will not be much of a need to constantly change any settings or use the manual paper feed. So the two negatives, about this printer shouldn't pop up very often.  ( I am including some prints for quality purposes, everything is on plain paper)
