Whisper Quiet with impressive output
on November 18, 2021

This tiny humidifier will definitely surprise you with how efficient and quiet it is. To be honest, I can barely hear it at all. As soon as you touch the power button, it starts shooting out mist. The mist is dense enough to look more like a small amount of fog, and when it's on the "high" setting you might think you just bought a little fog machine.
It does not project the mist a great distance, it shoots up about 2 feet, and then drops about 2 to 3 feet from the device.Which is why this is advertised as a tabletop humidifier, it needs the manual height to help it circulate the mist better.
It's got a nice modern design to it, and is light enough and compact enough to fit on most desks, counters or stands.
Although this humidifier is best suited for a small room, it does work well in larger areas or offices by positioning it close to yourself, so that you can still feel the benefits of the mist in your direct area.
The mist nozzle at the top of the unit can be pivoted 360 degrees to easily redirect the mist to your liking.
The difference in air quality is definitely noticeable right away. The mist is very soothing compared to the typical dry winter air. I also suffer from dry eyes, so having this in the room is an even bigger benefit to me. The dryer my sinuses, the dryer I have noticed my eyes are especially while sleeping.
Keep in mind that humidifiers need to be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent scale and bacteria. There are several types of cartridges or additives available to aid in this. It is also recommended to clean the ultrasonic disk with only the included brush.
My only critique is that I think It would be nice if there was some indicator on the device to show you which setting you are on.There is only one button and a night light, and neither display anything specific enough to determine the high or low setting. Although the volume of mist is probably a simple enough indicator.
Overall, I love how portable this unit is, I can take it from room to room, wherever I go. I never thought such a small humidifier could make such a big difference. It really is worth the purchase.

Great for extended gaming sessions!
on October 26, 2021

To date the X17 R1 is the thinnest 17" gaming laptop from Alienware. The exterior has kind of a simplistic yet elegant look to it, with dozens of inconspicuous air vents laid out across the machine.
The air vents are almost hidden due to the dark core design feature. The interior architecture is actually pretty impressive with a new independent quad fan system, a newly designed heat distribution panel system with a newly engineered thermal paste, new hyper efficient voltage regulator, a Cherry mechanical keyboard (that was co-developed with Dell to be their thinnest latest design), Advanced Optimus, and a "Comfortview plus" display with G-Sync. All these things combined make this a very impressive gaming laptop. Everything about all the new elements in this design really pushes this build for marathon gaming sessions.

All these things combined make this a very impressive gaming laptop. Everything about all the new elements in this design really pushes this build for marathon gaming sessions.
Let's start with what I think is one of the most important features, the Comfortview Plus display. Blue light has been found to cause harm to the optic nerve in several clinical studies. Most people are unaware of the dangers of overexposure to blue lights or even how much blue light they are exposed to. Virtually all types of digital displays emit blue lights. However the new X17 R1's display comes with the Comfortview Plus, which by default is set to reduce the amount of blue light emitted by the 17" screen. The low level blue light mode complies with TUV Rheinland's specifications for blue light safety.
One study found blue light triggered the release of toxic molecules in photoreceptor cells. This causes damage that can lead to age related macular degeneration. Aside from the long term effects of blue light, there are also short term effects that can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and even problems with sleeping. Reducing blue light will not only make it healthy but also more comfortable for a person to game for hours at a time. It used to be disregarded as a myth that overexposure to tv screens could cause blindness, but today it is becoming more apparent that blue light emitted from any type of display screen can be hazardous to your eye's health. It's nice to see that Dell is being proactive with using low level blue light displays. There are several apps out there for pcs and mobile devices to help reduce blue light emissions as well. In addition to the hardware and software blue light filters, you can also buy eyeglasses with blue light blockers, in both script and no script forms.

The new thermal solutions make keeping your system cooler a lot easier. The independent quad fan design, ties each fan to a specific component, and regulates the speed of that fan based on the need of it's related component, completely independent of the needs of the other items associated with the other fans. The fans can also work in tandem as needed.
Element 31 is an encapsulated gallium-silicone thermal interface material, that was designed by Dell to improve thermal resistance 25% more efficiently than previously used thermal compounds. Element 31 works with a specialized heat pipe and cooling fin design to pull heat away from internal components and push it out through the ample supply of vents.
The quad fan design is a patented technology in which a some fans move air through the system , while opposite fans move air through the chassis and over various internal hotspots creating a pressurized environment that dissipates heat quicker.

The TCC Offset (Thermal Control Circuit ), is a feature than can be set in the BIOS to put the fan control on automatic based on your own personal temperature limit.
The hyper efficient voltage regulator allows the processors to run at their highest levels of performance for extended periods of time, without losing quality game play.
The Cherry keyboard is really a plus. What a bonus it is to have a Cherry mechanical keyboard in a laptop as thin as this. It took Dell 3 years of collaboration to finalize a Cherry keyboard with a 1.5mm travel to fit this application.
The Advanced Optimus increases battery life by dynamically switching from the discrete GPU to the integrated GPU, and back when the extra GPU power is needed. The Advanced Optimus directly connects the display to the discrete GPU making all this possible, and gives it the ability to use G-Sync. G-Sync is a newer technology that delivers the smoothest and fastest gaming experience by syncing the GPU to the refresh rate of the display. The 17.3" FHD display is 360Hz with 1ms refresh rate, 300-nits brightness and a 100% sRGB color gamut. During some cut scenes the performance overlays were reporting 400 to 500+ fps.
I played with the different overclocking options for days trying to get into the top 10% tier for similar types of gaming pcs. While the closest I got was only at 91%, that doesn't mean this is a bad machine, or even incapable of playing demanding games, because it could definitely play everything I threw at it and it played them very well. While this machine might not beat everyone in the highest FPS numbers, it does put out some respectable numbers, and will most likely beat everyone in the long haul. Like I said earlier, all the industry firsts in the machine are designed for stability and extended use. I tested the X17 on several different benchmark apps and it returned favorable results beating 82 to 91 percent of other computers with the same tests.
The Alienware Command Center and NVIDIA 's GeForce Experience offer modest yet safe overclocking options. Third party overclocking software such as Afterburner, offer a wider range of overclocking numbers. However, If you are not well versed in overclocking then the simplest way to improve the machines performance is with NVIDIA's GeForce Experience app. All you need to do is enable "experimental features" in the general settings, and then hit the "alt" button and "z" , click on performance and enable "automatic tuning"
This feature will safely overclock the GPU based on your current hardware and what it thinks you might need.

The other option for automatic overclocking is to use Alienware's Command Center, and click on the "Fusion" tab.
Here you have a little more control over which parts of the performance you would like to change. You can change the "Power options", "Overclocking", and "Thermal"
If you click on each of the tabs, you will see the available choices. There are two preset overclocking profiles, the 2nd options yields the highest gaming performance of any of the automatic options.
You can also test and save your own overclocking or performance profiles in the command center.

A word of caution, third party overclocking apps do run the risk of causing heat damage to the internal components and break your laptop. It seems everyone is in pursuit of higher frame rates, but I would like to think there is such a thing as going to far. The X17 R1 puts out high frame rates that will show off the nice visuals, and give some advantage to the player. However if you are skilled at using 3rd party overclocking software there are a few options in the BIOS you might want to check out as well.
Typically higher FPS = better gaming for a few different reasons. The first is obvious, and that's because the general look of all the visuals will be improved, the action will be more fluid and edges will be smoother. The second benefit is timing, the faster the frames, the sooner you will notice enemy fire, or other animations in the game that depend on your reaction time for a better outcome. If the frames are slower than the action, then pretty much you have already died before you even saw the gun fire. The higher the frame rate, the more you will see, and have a better chance to react and counter whatever comes at you.
During actual gameplay of "Destiny 2" I was getting 115 to 155fps , averaging around 120
"Call of Duty Warzone" runs between 62 to 110, but primarily closer to 65
"Control" ran around 110 fps
"Fortnite" stayed at 60fps ( performance mode )
"Fortnite" in Alpha mode - around 170 FPS
according to 3DMark the following games should play at these frames per seconds in 1080p:
Battlefield V - 130+ FPS
Apex Legends - 140+ FPS
GTA V - 100+ FPs
Red Dead Redemption 2 - 50+ FPS

Also the best thing you can do for yourself and your laptop is to keep everything up to date, including the drivers and all software.
I must mention that I did have to update several drivers and pieces of software before downloading and playing any games.
There are a few add-on pieces of software that the laptop will automatically download, when you try to access different features within the Alienware and NVIDIA software.

There is an unlimited amount of visual customizations you can do with this laptop as well. You can do per key, key sections, or whole keyboard RGB lighting patterns, You can even change the Alien logo, and rear Tron LED strip ( which has 100 micro LEDs ).
I think I mentioned most if not all the items that set this laptop apart from others, the rest is typical gaming pc stuff, like the Xbox Game Bar, The GeForce Experience overlays, the Alien Command Center and custom profiles for individual games, the Killer Control Center to prioritize your laptops internet traffic, and then general personalized setting preferences.
Overall this is a great gaming laptop that is also perfect for any type of creative or design software. It runs everything perfectly and has a strong CPU and GPU that will still be very capable in the next few years. There are more expensive options out there, but unless your job depends on it, I can't see spending the extra 1 to 2+ thousands of dollars just to say I have the latest of the latest, especially when a slick laptop like the X17 R1 can do it just fine.

Stylish and Functional

Before buying this antenna or any antenna you should look online at either of the two websites Core Innovations recommends (dtv.gov/maps and www.tvfool.com) or do an online search for "over the air channel maps" .
With the right map you can see how many DTV or Over The Air channels are available in your area, and in what direction to point your antenna for the best reception. Most good maps will also tell you the distance from your location to the broadcasting signals so you know if the signal is even reachable.
In my area most of the channels are located to the south and north of me. So the ANT800BAR will work pretty well for me, as these signals are less than 80 miles away. The antenna is multidirectional so it will pick up the North and South channels at the same time. There are a handful of channels that are to the east of me, and while these channels do come in for me, they get a little pixelated from time to time. I have not mounted my antenna to the wall, just in case any of the channels to the East have something I really want to watch without the occasional pixilation.
The ANT800BAR also makes it pretty easy to find the best antenna direction with it's light up signal meter. It shows 1 to 3 bars of signal for worst to best reception status. It helped that I knew what direction to point my antenna based on the maps, but it was even easier using the signal meter on the antenna to find the best angle.
All the channels to the north and south of me come in great with HD clarity, and sound, if the show originally supported it. A lot of channels show older shows that were never recorded in HD formats, so they look a little blurry and are either stretched to fill the screen or have thick wallpaper type borders to the right and left of the show. But at least on those channels all the commercials come in crystal clear in HD with a widescreen format, sometimes the food looks so good from those commercials you would think you could smell it. When the signal broadcasted is in full HD, it looks just as good or better than cable tv.
There are no buttons or fancy switches, this is pretty much just a plug and play device, aside from the correct positioning. The antenna does come with an attached coax cable of about 9ft in length, and a power cord with adapter. The power cord is for the internal signal amplifier, and led signal status bars. I wasn't able to get an answer from Core's tech support service as to what decibel the signal is boosted at. The antenna can work without the power adapter, but it will not be able to pull in the longer distance channels, and you will not get the signal status leds.
The antenna has a nice design as it does not look like the ugly old antennas we grew up with. The ANT800BAR looks just like a sound bar, and will not distract from today's newer high tech TV's and other video equipment. When mounted to the wall, you can flip the antenna up, and swivel it from right to left on the wall, but it can not be angled in the right or left direction. It has a 3G/4G/5G LTE interference filter, to help restrict signal loss from cell phones.
Overall this is a pretty nice looking and good working antenna, if it could reach all 4 directions at the same time with max signal it would be perfect, but I don't think that's possible with an internal antenna.

Quick Hot or Iced Coffee
on October 20, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
If you really enjoy fresh brewed iced coffee then this is the machine for you. The Mr. Coffee Single-serve Iced and Hot Coffee Maker advertises fresh brewed coffee in under 4 minutes. I timed a cup of 16oz hot coffee, and it finished in 3minutes. The Cold brew is about 10oz of water and brews in 2minutes and 45 seconds.
The machine is designed to use grounds and comes with a very nice reusable filter. The filter mesh is tight enough to not let any grounds through, and seems pretty durable. However, I would take a little caution in cleaning it, as to not try to force cleaning utensils or brushes too hard against the mesh. The brew basket and reusable coffee filter are the only parts recommended for dishwasher cleaning.
The machine also has a built-in storage spot for the coffee scoop, so you can always find it when you need it. The scoop has two separate measuring cups, one for hot brews, and one for cold brews. The cold brew scoop is twice as large as the hot brew to accommodate the added water the melted ice will make. The scoop has measurement instructions on it for how many of which scoops to use per amount of brewed coffee/ounces desired.
I like that this machine uses grounds, I have too many coffee machines that use pods, and I used to hate being limited by what kind of pods and flavors we could use. I know that both pod and ground coffee can also use the creamers and liquid flavor additives, but I like the versatility of buying the different grounds.
The iced coffee actually brews hot, but at a lower temperature than the hot brew. So just be aware it will melt most of the ice in the tumbler, I usually have an inch or two of ice remaining at the top of the cup after everything is finished. The iced brew usually keeps a temperature of about 42 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. With no lid, my iced coffee maintained a 42 degree temperature for over 40 minutes. If you like your iced coffee freezing cold with tons of ice still in the cup, I would recommend brewing the cold brew as normally directed but without the ice in the cup first. Once the brewing is finished take the coffee and let it cool off either on the table or fridge for a bit. Once that is closer to room temp, then add all your ice and other additives for that super chilled iced coffee, with ice from top to bottom.
The cold brew button usually produces coffee at about 150 to 154 degrees Fahrenheit. So it might take a bit to cool off naturally, alternatively you could make it extra strong and put some ice in as you are waiting for it to cool off, before filling the whole cup with extra ice, if you still prefer the top to bottom tier of ice.
The hot brewed coffee usually reaches a temperature closer to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, so just a word of caution before that first sip.
The design of the coffee maker is pretty simple with just 2 buttons, one for hot and one for cold brew. The basket, filter and water reservoir sit underneath a flip top lid. The water reservoir has tiered measurement markings making it very easy to see what ounce coffee you can make. The drip tray lifts out for easy cleaning, and the unit is fairly compact. The unit is pretty light at just over 5lbs, so it is easy to pull out from under the cabinets to add water or coffee.
It measures approximately; 9.5" deep, 5.75" wide, 13" tall, and 17" tall with the lid up.
Overall this is a pretty nice coffee maker trying to marry the best of both worlds at an inexpensive price. It's a pretty nice machine, simple and to the point with some nice features, like the reusable filter, attachable scoop and insulated tumbler. It also makes great tasting coffee too.
I have included some pictures of the iced brew without using actual coffee to make it easier to see the remaining ice, in the normal cold brew process. If you don't need a cup filled top to bottom with ice, you can get a nice iced coffee in under 3minutes!

Great for keeping cool at night
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The Bedgear Cosmo pillow comes in 4 sizes/thickness builds for different sized people. If you are not sure which size pillow will be best for you, try checking out the mfgr website and answering a few questions in their "Find Your Fit" survey, there they will recommend the best build for you.
Bedgear offers 3 different types of cooling pillows, The Glacier , Cosmo and Flow. The Cosmo is a combination of the other 2 pillows utilizing both their cool to touch and air flow technologies compiled with 2 separate levels of firmness. Making the Cosmo pillow the most versatile pillow they make.
The Cosmo 1,2 and 3 are dual chamber pillows. The separate chambers consist of different materials to achieve different levels of firmness. The firmer side is built from a solid piece of memory foam. While the softer side is a fill of shredded materials. The 2 different firmness levels make this pillow great for virtually any kind of sleeping position.
I personally prefer sleeping on my side, but typically swap between my back, stomach and side throughout the night. Now I can just flip the pillow over for the desired firmness and position I am sleeping in. It's much easier to use just one pillow for this instead of trying to rifle through the different pillows I would normally sleep with. Using just one pillow on the bed also reduces the build up of heat trapped by a pile of pillows around my head.

Using just one pillow on the bed also reduces the build up of heat trapped by a pile of pillows around my head.
The Cosmo 3.0 pillow is designed for full sized individuals that tend to either sweat while sleeping or have difficulty sleeping because of reverberated body heat that
gets trapped in standard pillows and bedding.
gets trapped in standard pillows and bedding.
The Ver-Tex cover features instant cooling technology, making every part of the pillow that you just touch feel cold.
This silky-smooth cover is designed to reduce overheating to keep you cool all night long. The cover is made from a silk-like fabric knitted with near-metallic fibers, to help dissipate and deflect heat. Metals have been used as efficient heat sinks for years, so it makes sense that someone finally found a way to infuse it with fabrics to create a type of heat sink cover. A person loses 7 to 10 percent of their body heat through their head, but when you are sleeping it feels like it's over 50 percent. Which is why the Ver-Tex cover is so refreshing while trying to sleep.

Which is why the Ver-Tex cover is so refreshing while trying to sleep.
The Cosmo pillows have Air-X mesh panels with air vents.
The mesh panels and air vents are on all four sides to provide continuous airflow both in and around the pillow. This helps hot air escape the pillow for a more comfortable sleep. The Cosmo 3.0 has a total of ten vents around the pillow. The Air-X is a 3D fabric technology that is made up of spring-like yarns engineered to create a type of air pocket. These pockets make it possible for air to pass through the fabric with ease, creating a breathing type action whenever you move the pillow. Hot air can easily be expelled as cool surrounding air then gets sucked back in.

Hot air can easily be expelled as cool surrounding air then gets sucked back in.
The internal parts of the pillow are mainly made from Bedgear's React Foam, React technology is made with breathable, conforming foam that responds to the pressures and movements of your body, sculpting itself to your precise shape. The foam has an open cell construction that allows for airflow and prevents heat buildup, so you don’t wake up in the middle of the night feeling overheated. The firmer side of the pillow has their React Foam Crown, which is a full size piece of foam specially designed to keep the air flow going. The softer side of the pillow is a shredded React Blend fill. This fill is made up of small pieces of the React Foam mixed with silk-like fibers, to keep the cooling effects possible.
Every part of this pillow is designed to maximize air flow through not only the cover, but all of its internal parts. Making this pillow extremely effective at keeping you cool through most of the night. Now, obviously this pillow does not have an internal fan or power supply to keep the temperature regulated throughout the entire night, and once you actually fall asleep, your movements will be reduced, hence the airflow through the pillow will be reduced. I have noticed that the pillow is definitely cool every time I lay down, and stays cool for a long time. However, your head can still end up feeling warm in the middle of the night and at morning time, if you are not moving throughout the night. But it's still not nearly as bad as a traditional pillow.
The cover is removable and washable, but no cleaning is suggested for the inside and chambers of the pillow. I found it feels better to just use the pillow as is, and not try to find a pillow case thin enough to make use of all the cooling features of the pillow, especially seeing as how the cover is washable. Overall I am very pleased with the pillow. I was a little nervous about the weight of the pillow, as it is the heaviest pillow I have ever owned, but the weight seems to have no negative effects on how I sleep or use the pillow. The dual chambers are also a huge convenience, I love flipping the pillow over feeling the newly chilled side, as I prop my head up on the firmer side to watch TV, and then flipping it back over to the softer side to actually fall asleep. So far everything has kept its shape and has shown no signs of wear. Everything about this pillow feels like it is made from the highest quality products available.

Because of the intensity of these earbuds I found myself typically
listening at a volume of 25 percent. I was only able to reach a volume of
80% without feeling like I was going to hurt my ears with the higher
volume. The rubber eartips on these buds actually create a certain level of
exterior noise cancelation as well. It doesn't completely block everything
out, but it does a pretty good job at keeping most interfering noises out.

The ear buds can even be used independently of each other to better keep
track of what's going on around you( keeping one ear open), and extend your
overall battery use of the buds. They are advertised for 40 hours of play,
using the case every ten hours to charge the buds, before having to find an
additional charging source ,ie. a wall or car charger. The case can even be
charged though any wireless phone charging pad you might already have.
If you are on a long trip and really need more than 40 hours of usage, you
could try using just one bud at a time, hence doubling your total usage
to 80 potential hours. Both buds can be used independently for music,
movies or phone calls.

Each bud has a button for the typical audio options on earbuds. You can
change around the button assignments through the app, but can not add new
or customized actions. The app also helps to keep track of the battery
levels. The buds announce their battery status every time you put them on,
but it is not the actual percentage, it's just a description of "high",
"medium" and "low" type of alerts.

earbuds sound.
Even though they are not advertised to work with Dolby Atmos, the 3D sound
capabilities of these earbuds is very similar. The directional audio is
very precise.

Quietest Blender I've used
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7

The Pulverizing Power Blender has an 800 watt motor with an all metal drive and stainless steel blade, making it capable of crushing ice and any other foods in seconds.
The motor is not only powerful, but it's actually pretty quiet compared to other blender models, it sounds about 50% quieter than the more expensive blender I got about a year ago.
Not only is this blender powerful and quiet, it's very stylish with a metallic finish for the base and real glass pitcher that is thermal shock, shatter resistant, and dishwasher safe. The center cap on the lid can be removed to add more ingredients and can be used as a small measuring cup. The cup and lid press down firmly making a watertight seal. As with all blenders, if there is not enough liquid to support all the ingredients then things do not flow and mix properly causing only the portion around the blade to get blended. Here is where the water tight lid comes into play, instead of diluting your mix, lift the whole pitcher off the base and tilt it on it's side and shake the ingredients around (make sure to hold the lid closed, just in case). This way you can get everything blended without adding unnecessary additives. The pitcher swivels slightly on the base to unlock or lock it in place.
The pitcher holds 6 cups, and the blender has 8 different speed settings for various levels of chopping and pureeing. There are some tips included in the instructions for the best ways to load the blender and chop ice for minimal complication. Obviously no matter how good the blender is, you can still overload the device or jam the blades, so it is actually helpful to read the tips.
There isn't much else to say about this blender, it sounds and works great, we had no problems making shakes, and smoothies. The puree feature even broke down the tiny berry seeds from strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. Something my other blender never did, so it was a nice surprise to actually have a "smooth" smoothie. The chopping features work well to break down vegetables for salsas and soups, just make sure you are light on the pulses and shakeup or manually mix your ingredients for best results. For the price I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this blender!

Lightest Headset Ever!
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The G435 headset might not have some of the bells and whistles of other more expensive headsets, but what it does have it excels at.
The G435 has to be the lightest headset I've ever owned. At 5.8 ounces it seriously is almost completely unnoticeable, while wearing. The ear cuffs are a nice lightweight comfortable foam that also helps to absorb exterior sounds. The foam is breathable and keeps your ears from getting too hot during long periods of use.
The G435 also saves some weight by not needing an extending or protruding microphone arm. The dual beamforming mics pull sounds from the front of the unit while cancelling out sounds from the back and sides. The mics are hidden inside 2 slots on the front of the left ear cup. The placement of the mics really does help for capturing virtually only your vocal audio. I tried placing the headset on backwards while talking, and it was almost impossible to hear me. With the headset worn correctly the audio comes through loud and clear.
The 40mm speakers pump out a ton of sound while keeping the ear cups light and compact. The headset is so light that it's very surprising how good everything sounds and works. The G435 puts out incredible 3D sound , and is compatible with Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, and Tempest 3D AudioTech. I used the headset on my PS5 and cellphone. The 3D audio from the PS5 sounded excellent with very precise sound direction. It was very easy to pinpoint all audio effects like shots fired, explosions, and footsteps. With Dolby Atmos enabled through my cellphone music and movies sound absolutely incredible. There is enough bass and volume to really enjoy the sound effects and music.
There are no built-in EQ profiles, but the audio frequencies and balances can be adjusted by most of the connecting devices. The headset is plug and play with any device that has a USB port on it, simply plug in the USB adapter and everything is good to go. To connect using the Bluetooth feature, turn on the headset and then hold the mute button for about 2 seconds, then complete the pairing procedure on the connecting device. You can also hold the mute button to switch the audio back to the USB adapter. The headset can be used wirelessly on anything with a USB or Bluetooth audio option. The only thing missing is the 3.5mm audio jack, so if you are looking for a wired connection, that won't happen here.
Logitech made this headset with gamers in mind, with the ultra lightweight design, foam ear cuffs and 18 hour battery length, making it completely possible to game all day with these on. Plus, the G435 uses a Lightspeed wireless connection to reduce audio lag to a minimum with a maximum range of 33ft.
The look of the G435 is very slim, and currently comes in three different color options. The ear cups are very slender and compact, the whole design looks like it would be for a small child, but is built to fit full size adults. The ear cups fit snugly around all ear sizes. The headband is framed with lightweight durable plastic and covered with a thin comfortable fabric. The headband is expandable through a slide on the outer part of the ear cups. The headset is also made from 22% recycled materials and Logitech also participates in Carbon Neutral and Responsible Packing programs to help make a difference in our environment.
Overall this headset is the most comfortable and lightweight headset I have ever used. The buttons are easy to feel and differentiate while wearing, so there is no need to keep removing the headset to physically look for the button you want. The 3D audio is awesome with crisp clear sounds for games and videos. It easily connects to my phone and sounds nice and clear during phone calls. The virtual boom mics also work better than expected with in game chat audio and calls sounding loud and clear on the other end. For the price and purpose the G435 is top notch.

Great Concept

The IASO personal massager uses two different types of lasers and vibration to relieve
pain in different areas of the body. It's primary use, because of it's size, is meant to treat
carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, and other small areas of localized pain. It comes with a rubber
elastic band that can be used to strap the device easily to smaller circumference areas like
wrists, arms, and ankles. The band is fairly comfortable and does the job for keeping the
device in place. For other areas you can use one of the 20 included sticky pads. The adhesive
pads are clear and the same shape and size as the massager. The pads are easy to apply,
and actually stick very well. I was able to apply a sticky pad, and reposition it a few times
before activating the device, without complication. The device stayed in place for the entire
30 minutes and was easy to remove. like most men, I have some hair about my body, and
did not have any issues with the sticky pad ripping at or pulling out the hairs. Additional sticky
pads can be purchased as needed. The product does not come with a charging adapter,
but does come with a USB micro charging cable. The device only takes about an hour to fully
charge, all you have to do is plug the cable into any 2amp USB charging adapter similar to
what most phones come with now a days.

I used this massager for several aches and pains, in my shoulders, back and ankles. Even
though the lasers are cold lasers, the device itself does heat up a small bit. The temperature
of the device is not supposed to exceed 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit, under normal operating
conditions. So, a little heat from it is normal. I felt no heat at all from just the laser lights.
It is a very small and comfortable device, and easy to forget you are wearing it. The massager
is subtle in sound and function. Depending on where it is, I sometimes can not even hear it
. It is also not like a traditional massager that you can feel vibrating whole limbs or jumping
across the floor. Sometimes I can barely feel it in the target area, but if I touch my skin around
the area I can feel the vibrations coming from the device. Some people may prefer a more
intense massage, but for this purpose I think this is sufficient. After all the purpose of this
device is to reduce pain in injured areas through increased circulation, promoting your
bodies own healing responses. I typically have a creek and mild pain in my right shoulder,
after using this for 30 minutes, I actually felt no discomfort nor did I feel the creek when I
raised my arm over my head. I also have a few bulging discs in my back, I stuck this to
my back and it appeared to help drop my pain level, but I'm not sure if the effected
area is too large for the single device.

The device might not react as quick as popping a prescription pain medication or muscle
relaxer but I don't really think this is designed for severe levels of pain and complications.
I used this for about a week, and I can say that I think it has helped. It does appear to
have lessened the pain through either the massage or the lasers, but I think that to get the
full potential of the laser therapy you should use it as much as possible on a daily basis, for an extended timeframe.
The manufacturer recommends using this 1 to 3 times a day, but also says there are no side
effects and this can be used as many times a day as needed. You get 2 uses out of every
charge, and with it only taking an hour to fully charge, it would be easy to get 4 to 6 uses per day.

There have been many scientific studies completed that result in certain laser wavelengths
promoting healing and pain relief in tissues. The 650nm wavelength seems to be one of
the most efficient wavelengths at increasing blood circulation to a specific area. Which in
turn helps to increase the rates of healing. When photons of certain laser lights interact with
biological tissues they release their energy into the cells allowing to transform this light
into other energy forms, which is photobiostimulation. Photobiomodulation is triggered and
provides three fundamental effects : tissue regeneration, inflammatory action modulation and an analgesic effect.

This is a tough product to gauge the effectiveness after only a week of use.
The issues I have are chronic and will probably never be cured, but it does
seem that after a week of using the cold lasers my pain is less than what it
was a week ago. Theoretically based off the data collected in cold laser
studies this type of product should be of real benefit to anyone with small
areas of localized muscle or joint pain. I am very curious to see the long
term effects of what this can do to the effected areas of discomfort and pain.

Awesome Performance
on July 27, 2021
Posted by: Aaronxx7

The SN850 is a "Gen4 x4" SSD, so make sure you check your laptop's motherboard for compatibility! If you can not find the specs for your specific motherboard, you can check your pc's manual, it might not list the motherboard directly, but it still should have all the listed stats and compatibilities for the individual ports and components. If you go to the manufacturer support website for your computer, you should be able to download the manual from there.
The SN850 is backwards compatible with older technologies, but keep in mind that you will NOT get the advertised max speeds on the box, your new SSD will only be able to reach the industry standards specified for older generation devices. I have a laptop that uses M.2 NVMe storage, and is around 6months old. I was expecting to have Gen4 SSD ports, but they are only Gen3 so while I wouldn't be able to reach the advertised 7GB read speeds, I wanted to future proof my purchase a little bit. My laptop was faster with the new SSD, but not as fast as a Gen4 device. My Laptop's read speeds jumped from 1700MBs to 3300MBs and my write speeds went from 420MBs to 3100MBs.It was definitely an upgrade, and it will still be useful if I get another computer in the next year.

If you are planning on making this your new C: drive, then make sure you have your Bitlocker recovery key ready, you can find this by logging into your Microsoft account. Even after cloning your drive over to the new SSD, the laptop will still ask you for the Bitlocker code for security purposes.
However, before you get to that point you will have to format the new SSD as NTFS for a primary drive or FAT for other storage purposes. If after installing the physical drive, you do not see it with Windows Explorer, this is pretty normal. You will need to use Window's Disk Management or another storage management utility (there are lots of free utilities out there), to format it. Using Disk Management you will be able to see the new drive, and format it. Once it is formatted you can access the drive from Windows Explorer.
If you go to the support page for the WD_Black SN850, you will be able to download "Acronis True Image for Western Digital", which is a great disk management utility. You can use Acronis to add a new drive or clone your old HD to the new one. You should also download the "Dashboard" program, as this will help monitor your new SSD. Dashboard can update the SSD software, and can turn on the "Game Mode" for enhanced performance. Dashboard is also great to keep track of the health and temperature of your new SSD.
From the WD SN850 support page, you can get lots of installation tips and view troubleshooting issues.
As I mentioned earlier your motherboard's design can affect read and write speeds, but so can other components, like the installed memory, internal temperatures and CPU, so keep all that in mind when looking at what kind of performance you will be expecting.
Installation is usually very easy on most laptops as all you need to do is remove one screw, and a small panel. However some laptops require you to remove the entire bottom cover. Another word of caution, make sure you are grounded once the computer is opened, and before you touch the new SSD. There are devices you can buy to aid in static electricity prevention, but they are not always needed. There are plenty of websites out there to instruct on proper grounding while working on a laptop. Static electricity can actually damage delicate electronics such as these, so be careful.
Installation took me a couple of minutes to physically install the drive and another couple to format it. It took about 15 minutes to clone my old drive to the new one, and I was done with everything in less than 30 minutes.
My laptop starts up and shuts down much quicker, and even runs all of my games much smoother. It's amazing how much quicker everything in general is.
Overall this is an amazing piece of technology that can perform at irrational speeds, when placed into the right system, and can still provide outstanding performance in older devices, with it's backwards compatibility. With Western Digital's 3D NAND and it's stacking technology the SN850 can perform 1,000,000 IOPS which is close to twice the amount of the last generation's SSDs. To date, this is the fastest gaming SSD on the market.
