nice idea, but battery life kills it
on December 6, 2018
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This tracker is great in the idea, that it will help you keep track of a loved one, or item. It works off of AT&T's cellular LTE service, so for the most part, it has pretty good coverage. It also comes with a year of FREE cellular service. If you like the device and want to continue using it past the year date, it's only $5.00 per month, which is actually pretty reasonable for this service.
the kicker here is that the real time GPS eats up the battery life.
The website says that you can expect 4-5 days of typical use, and up to 10 days in standby. However, I was unable to make it 2 full days, on a full charge. I probably hit the "live tracking" button twice, which to be fair, it warns you that this feature is straining on the battery.
this feature can only be activated for 10 minutes at a time. So if you are looking for a detailed check sheet of where this has been all day, it's not gonna happen. Your best bet is to set up the "Zones" that you would like this device to be monitored going into and out of. I did receive automatic notices from the device, as it entered and left each area, within 1 minute of it happening. (which this worked good, but you can only set up 2 zones for the device), So this part is just as limiting as the other features.
So after probably a dozen, position updates, and two live tracking runs, this unit was dead in about 30 or so hours. I got a notice this morning before I sent it out, that the device was low on battery. It lasted 4 hours with only 1 update. I did a position check at noon, and it returned a message that it was dead.

I think you can get at least 24 hours of moderate use on these. It also has an ip rating of 68, so it can be placed on a pet, I guess, but that rating is only good for 30 minutes in up to 5 feet of water..So you better trust your pet, not to submerge himself in water all day.
The size is acceptable, especially for having a built in GPS. Looks wise, it is pretty nice, with the rounded edges. .and very plane markings.
The only redeeming use for this, would be to put it in a car, where it can be constantly plugged in, and then manually keep hitting the live tracking button for a better description of it's daily where abouts.
Otherwise, whomever you have it attached to , is gonna have to charge it everyday before they go out.
Otherwise, whomever you have it attached to , is gonna have to charge it everyday before they go out.
So, just to recap, this is perfect for someone that wants to be located and monitored, as they would need to charge and maintain it everyday. OR left plugged into a constant power source in a van or car - so that it can handle the constant position requests, and live tracking hits( foronly ten minutes at a time)

experienced dependable software

Microsoft Office continues to be one of the best choices for office suite products. This version is perfect for individuals looking for SOHO software. This suite gets you access to most of Office's products including : Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. The plus with buying this version over the 365 version is that you don't need to maintain a monthly bill, you pay at the time of purchase and then that's it. However the downside, for some people would be that you don't get Microsoft's online services like : SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, or Access.
I don't have to share document creation or edits with anyone else, so this version is perfect for my needs, and most likely will continue to be good for me for several more years to come.
The software is very reliable, and has tons of great templates for virtually any project you can think of. It is so simple to just pick one, and enter in your own text, but still keep the same font, position and accents to the form or document. I made a custom flyer in less than 5 minutes, that looked like I ordered it from the local print shop or copy center. I also like that the software constantly backs up your project, as you are working on it, so if something does go haywire with your pc you don't have to start over completely from scratch.

Very dependable software with professional results!

Great software for beginners, and moderate users
on November 21, 2018

from central new york
This software package installs easy with Adobe's new installation process. The process seems very fast and clean. After installation, the app will show you the new features in this version compared to the last version you used, to help you get familiar with the software.
Starting the app, takes you to a nice menu interface that highlights tips, and creation suggestions, as well as direct links to Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements, and an Organizer app.
The suggestions and tips seem to be endless, you can continue to click through these if you are interested or, jump right into a project.
Both Photoshop and Premiere have great features to edit pictures and videos that might seem a little overwhelming for beginners, but Adobe has done a great job with including a "Guided" feature, that quite simply guides you through the entire process with ease, for any of the editing processes. All edits have real time results, and previews. You can even choose split screen for a "before" and "after" comparison on your edits. Adobe has always been great for editing digital media, and while the elements' versions don't come with all the bells and whistles as Adobe's professional versions, there is enough power here to get pretty much everything done, any regular user would want. Quick and simple edits for ; red eye, pet eye, blemish removal, color and contrast adjustments, text and drawing features, special effect objects, and so much more.

Great features, decent performance
on November 18, 2018
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This laptop is full of great features but just slightly misses the mark with it's execution
The screen is stunning with 4k capabilities, the colors are very vibrant, and the contrast is pretty high. The screen quality is pretty evident as soon as it starts up. It's hard not to get lost in how nice everything looks. Even the keyboard looks very fancy with the lit keys and background. (which can be quickly set, with the "f5" key, to max brightness ,low brightness, or off)
The body of the laptop is all metal, giving it a much sturdier feel. While this device feels well constructed and very rugged, it also feels a little bit heavy with all the metal and a 15" screen.
To add to this devices ruggedness, the screen is protected by the ever durable Gorilla Glass.
I personally like the rugged feel, even if the unit is 4.59lbs. Some might find it tiresome to lug the extra weight around, so keep that in mind when choosing the right 2-in-1 for yourself.

The fingerprint scanner works great, it's very fast and discrete when logging in. No longer do I need to look over my shoulder to see if anyone is watching my keystrokes to hack into my pc , while it's unattended.
The web cam is actually pretty nice with Full HD resolution and a wide angle lens. It
even does well in low light settings.
even does well in low light settings.
The screen easily folds backwards onto the back of the keyboard to give you the full tablet feel. When doing so, the device will ask if you would like to switch to "tablet" mode for more of a touch driven interface. the screen is pretty responsive with finger gestures and touches, but sometimes it's too sensitive with interpreting the palm or other parts of the hand, as finger swipes.
The pen is an excellent addition to this pc, but lacks the precision of a true drawing tablet, and also lacks a good storage place in the actual pc, it does however have a sleeve in the leather case it can be placed in. I found that several times, my pen movements, did not register during sketches. So I would need to repeat the strokes to get the desired mark. I do like how they have tried to mimic some of the higher end drawing tablets with the variable pressure on the pen, creating lighter or heavier marks on the drawings. I also like how easy it is to create straight lines and circles using the virtual ruler, and compass in the app. The drawing tools would seem very useful for someone looking to do sketches for architecture, or general drawings. But without a way to fix the occasional missed strokes, or over sensitive hand movements, serious enthusiast might want to look for something more specific to their needs.
The specs on this pc seem high enough to handle most anything. It's very quick at start up, and works well for most applications, however it doesn't quite hit the mark when it comes to higher end video games(but to be fair this is not marketed as a video game pc). However, I did have to try it, considering the specs were so nice. I tried "Witcher 3: the Hunt" in full 4k mode, the game looked great but slowed down to less than 10 frames per second. Even with all the other graphic options dropped to the lowest setting, and 4k res. the game still staggered around 10fps. I had to reduce the resolution to 1080p in order to get a frame rate over 30. This was with microsoft's game boost on, best performance(power option), and the ac cord plugged in.
I'm sure that less strenuous games will play fine. Higher end games would need some hardware modification, and tweaks to run smoother, but no guarantee on even how well.

So overall I think this is a great "general purpose" 2-in-1 laptop, it offers enough in every area to keep "most" people satisfied.

convenient and fun
on November 14, 2018

These lights are tons of fun, and so easy to use. I also love the fact that they are LEDs so they hardly use any power.
I had no problems connecting the hub to my network. I have seen others stating that they can't connect to the hub from their phone. But it was very easy. Especially if you follow the included directions. It probably also helps to have somewhat of a relatively new router. I could see some connection issues if maybe your router was super old, but honestly almost any should work, if done correctly.
The biggest mistakes I can see would be not having your phone's wifi connected to the same router/device that you have your Sengled hub hard wired to.
A lot of houses use more than one router, switches or repeaters, to expand their wifi coverage. So for the best chances of an easy connection, make sure both the phone and hub ard connected to the same router. Then just launch the app and connect. After that you can, go into the app seetings for the hub, and put your wifi info in. This would give you more flexability in chosing a location for your hub, and bulbs, as you can remove the ethernet cord afterwards and still have control over your bulbs.

From the app (as long as the light bulbs have power,… nothing will work if you have your light switches off), you can choose from a large color spectrum, to change the bulbs color. You can even organize a group of bulbs for ie. Kitchen, and a group for livingroom. I can quickly select all the kitchen bulbs to bright natural light, and all the livingroom lights to dark red, for a horror movie. You could mix n match also. Say I'm watching Star Wars with the family, the left side of the livingroom can be all red, for the Siths. While the right side of the livingroom could be green for the Jedi.
You could do the same for sports teams,… and pretty much anything you want.

The app, is also great for controlling your house lighting while on vacation, or just being gone for the weekends. You can open the app, and turn on bulbs in any rooms either manually, or with the schedule feature in the app.
Or your kid just tells you, after you are two hours away from home that he probably forgot to turn the lights off in the bedroom, livingroom, kitchen, and den.
Just pop the app open and check, then turn off what you want.

Great entry or mid-level Gaming PC
on November 10, 2018

from central new york
This laptop looks like a high end gaming device, with the cool keyboard that lights up, and contoured keys. The hot red glow highlights all the key symbols, plus some of the "hot keys" even have red borders to make them stick out even more.
When the device is closed, the giant cooling vents in the back make this thing look like it was modeled after a Lamborghini Aventador.
When the device is closed, the giant cooling vents in the back make this thing look like it was modeled after a Lamborghini Aventador.
The screen is an IPS screen, so images on it are easy to see from almost any angle. It's only 1080p, but for the size of the screen, I think that is sufficient for most any game. It does however come with an HDMI output, so you can hook up a second monitor or HDTV. When selecting to output only through the HDMI, 4K results are possible.
I played "Portal 2" with absolutely no lag, or issues, the game ran flawlessly. So I then decided to put this laptop to the test with "Witcher 3: The Hunt", it ran very well under the regular settings, 50 to 60 FPS with reliable performance. I was able to output to my 4k Samsung HDTV, the picture looked amazing, but my FPS took a small dive. I was able to hold 30ish FPS on 4k output with medium to lower game graphic settings. While this laptop unfortunately can't handle all graphic options on the game maxed out, it can definitely play smooth with a good mix of some higher settings, and some lower(like number of enemies, and such..)
To get the best performance for your games make sure that your "power options" in windows settings, are set to "high performance" for both battery and plugged in mode.
Otherwise your games FPS and performance will drop when unplugging the power cord.
Otherwise your games FPS and performance will drop when unplugging the power cord.
As with most Windows PC's I was able to just plug one of my XBOX ONE controllers into the usb port and use it without effort, (plug and play). You can also activate the "game mode" by pressing the "X" logo on the controller, or with the "windows key + G" on the keyboard. Activating game mode, can increase the games overall performance and give you options for broadcasting or recording your game.
Also, just to note, as with most newer laptops, this device does not come with an optical drive. So all of your game installations will have to either be downloads, or by an external usb DVD/CD drive.
This device also comes with a few perks from ACER, "Acer collection S" tries to give you a customized suggestion of additional software for your use, and "Nitro Sense" which gives you direct access to cooling fan manual/auto adjustments, and power options. "Care Center" is a great tune up utility where you can keep your pc running lean. Radeon also gives you access to your GPU with an excellent settings app, that lets you change virtually everything about how your games run.
Overall this is a very capable GAMING LAPTOP, you should be able to play pretty much everything you want, depending on the display quality, and complexity of the game. Very High performance games can still play great, but with reduced output setting.

Great all in one printer
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
I have used Brother printers for years, and they have always seemed to deliver great quality at a slightly lower cost than some of their other brand name counter parts.
This printer comes with a telephone jack for faxing, plus usb port , and internal wifi adapter for connecting computers and mobile devices.
This was a breeze to connect to my wifi, using the touch screen on the front of the machine.
I also had no problems downloading their app on my phone and printing a few 4x6 photos, directly from my photo gallery.
The pictures looked great, excellent clarity and color, with borderless printing. It seemed to take a little longer than some other photo printers to print, but this still did it with great results.
The pictures looked great, excellent clarity and color, with borderless printing. It seemed to take a little longer than some other photo printers to print, but this still did it with great results.
I also printed a few pictures on regular paper, these results were as expected, the pictures were recognizable, just a little blurry. I was more so curious to the print times for text and images, these again seemed to be a little bit longer than expected, but with great results for the text. I printed the text in a reduced size, and even that was impressive, I couldn't believe it was legible. (see image**)
The automatic document feeder and dual sided printing are great features to have at such a price. I also like that you can keep regular paper and photo paper in the tray at the same time, but just slightly bummed that the machine does not switch between these two medias on it's own. Someone has to manually slide the tray into position for the machine to grab the right papers, when switching between the 2 different types of media.
The ink cartridges load at the front right corner of the machine, just match up the colors, and they slide right into position, locking when placed all the way in. Very easy to install.
Overall this printer would be great for any small home office, or personal use. It provides everything that anyone would need, and does it very well.

great coverage and performance
on November 8, 2018
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This is the second set of Velop nodes that I have added to my home network.
These hooked up to my network in just a minute or two. It was extremely easy to just open the Linksys app, and select "Set up a new product". From there the app pretty much does everything for you, and in no time, you have just enhanced your wifi.
The other great thing about some of these Velop mesh units/nodes is that they come with 2 ethernet ports (keep in mind , not all do). They are actually great for turning your WIFI signal into a wired connection, for devices that don't have a WIFI card, but do have an Ethernet port. This was perfect for me to get internet to one of my older XBOX consoles, and a network printer. Both devices were made with only RJ45 connections (ethernet ports).
So far I have been more than pleased with my coverage and the performance of my connected devices. I have noticed that a few of my nodes will go into a rest mode, when they are not in use. Their light starts flashing a reddish color. (this is normal). As soon as they detect that a nearby device needs that connection, they perk right back up.

Solid performance with minimal tweaking

So far I am pretty impressed with the ease in setup of these devices.
The units themselves take a few minutes to setup, but they do pretty much everything by themselves.

My previous router was located in the center of my house, with most devices getting sufficient data streams. However two of my gaming consoles(on opposite corners of the house) had choppy coverage, with much slower throughput.
I used the Linksys app to set up my Velop WIFI , it guided me through every step, extremely easy to follow. I added all my nodes, to extend my current coverage.
*****Keep in mind that the other nodes, work as repeaters to extended good coverage further. If you place the extra nodes at the edge of your current WIFI area, you will only be repeating a choppy poor signal. However if you pull those nodes a little closer to the source, where they are getting a higher quality signal, you will be repeating that high quality signal, and most likely your devices that were previously suffering on your network, should be enjoying a higher quality signal.*****

this worked out very well for one of my corner of the house consoles. The other console was still receiving lower speeds. I had placed the nodes in the best available locations based on my houses layout, but there was a stairway in between that was causing a lower connection speed. I was easily able to fix this by prioritizing that console on the network. All I had to do was select this option in the Linksys app, and everything has been fine since, with very consistent speeds.
So, if placed correctly, these units can deliver very reliable performance, especially with the added features of the app.

Grabs everything

The double brush rollers are very good at what they do, the vacuum had absolutely no problem picking up loose debris and cereal(my kids usually drop), on any surface. I was actually very pleased with how good it cleans hardwood and tiled floors. The hose is very easy to click out, and run along the edge, to pick up the few stragglers that the roller just can't reach.
The battery feels like the heaviest part of the vacuum, I was a little disappointed by the 30 minute average run time, but for most purposes I think that will be fine, as the suction and rollers work great to get virtually everything, with the first pass.
It's nice that when you separate the canister from the rollers and stand there is a flexible hose that can be used with the accessories, offering a greater range of uses, like on; stairs, ceilings, shelves, cars, etc...
I was also a little disappointed that there were no clips or handles to affix the accessories to the vacuum. So, I keep them in a separate bag in the closet.

As I stated earlier the rollers do great at grabbing everything from the floor, but proved to be a little problematic in one room of mine, where the cats have created burs in the rug. 30 seconds on that rug, and the roller was jammed up, as it pulled a bur, and sucked a large strand of carpet fiber into the rollers. It was easy to remove the carpet strand, but I think I will definitely be avoiding that room with this device. A lot of the other vacuums by Shark and other companies offer new snag free rollers, but then again, those rollers don't provide the grabbing power and polished floor look , that these brushes offer.
Overall this vacuum offers great flexibility being cord free, and convertible from floor stand to just canister. The canister is easy to empty and has a washable filter. The suction is great, and even offers a suction boosting button, for bursts of extra suction.
It even offers 3 different options on how you can charge the battery( 1 option needs additional purchase)
The battery makes this device a little heavier than expected, but worth the sacrifice for the cordless features.

Stream HD content anywhere with this Miroir SYNQ mini projector. The powerful LED lamp projects bright, detailed images in native 720p resolution, and a 5W speaker adds accurate audio to your viewing experience. This Miroir SYNQ mini projector offers up to 3 hours of use per charge and includes an AC adapter for battery-free streaming.
How do you stream videos to your projector?
the only input is a HDMI port, which can be used to plug pretty much any streaming device like Roku, Firestick, Chromecast, etc.. into.
There is a USB power input right next to the HDMI port to be used with the streaming sticks, to make this more convenient and portable.
From here you can use the streaming functions of whichever device you plugged in.

I am just starting to look at smartwatches and this caught my eye. I have a Samsung android smartphone and I would like to be able to download my iTunes library from my computer or ipod to it. Is this possible? Then can I sync it to my wireless beats?
Actually you can easily transfer media from your pc to Samsung by dragging and dropping files into the phone storage.
You must first connect the phone to your pc with the included charging cable, and wait for all the drivers to finish loading.
Then open a file location on your phone and start transferring the music.
Alternatively, if you have all your music in itunes, you could download the "Apple Music" app, from the google play store directly to your Samsung phone, and get all your music that way.
You should be able to listen through your wireless beats, and control the music through the smartwatch or your phone

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.
Do you install mirror front and rear dash cams
the mirror dash cam fits over your existing mirror with rubber straps, so there is no real installation for this part.
the rear camera actual needs to be installed by mounting the camera to a spot on the back of the vehicle (usually near the license plate), and running wires along your baseboards and interior to reach the front rear view mirror. There is also a red wire by the rear camera that needs to be spliced into your reverse light wires.
So yes, there is a certain amount of installation that needs to be done, maybe 30 minutes to an hour time frame

Set up a gaming station with this LG 24-inch Full HD monitor. AMD Radeon FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, letting you play AAA titles smoothly, while the IPS display with a wide viewing angle delivers bright, vivid visuals from almost any direction. This LG 24-inch Full HD monitor has an antiglare coating for minimizing reflections.
Best buy shows this monitor as having 2 HDMI inputs, but the LG webpage for model number 24ML44B-B states it has only 1 HDMI and also shows only 1 in their pictures. Can someone clarify if this monitor has 1 or 2 HDMI inputs?
the LG - 24" IPS LED FHD FreeSync Monitor - Black
Model:24ML44B-B
does in fact have 2 HDMI inputs, as well as 1 VGA

Pair your workout with these black Jaybird Vista wireless headphones. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours of listening time, while the waterproof, sweatproof design helps prevent fluid damage. These Jaybird Vista wireless headphones have ear hooks and three pairs of soft interchangeable eartips for a secure fit and added comfort during extended periods of use.
Not only do I like to workout in my earbuds, but also use them for mowing. Are these loud enough to hear over the mower engine?
They are loud enough, but to protect your hearing, and make the music sound better, I always use a cheap pair of noise cancelling ear muffs with the ear buds, while mowing.
( you can get cheap noise cancelling ear muffs for around 5 dollars )

What is the play time on a full charge.
6 hours for each bud. so if you are using them simultaneously then its a total of 6 hours.
The buds can be used individually, so if you are just using one at a time, then you could get 12 hours total, before needing any type of recharging.

When I receive calls they sound far away. I even raised the volume all the way up. They also said they can't hear me well. Is there a setting in the app that I need to adjust that I can't find?
Try just using one bud for calls. These buds do not have an ambient noise pass through, because they are more used for cancelling out ambient noises while working out, so it's easier to enjoy your music.
If you use just one bud during a call it will sound more natural to you, and you will be speaking at a normal level, making it easier for others to hear you.
