Fancy gaming mouse
on August 8, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
This is the first gaming mouse I have ever used.  The g903 fits very comfortably under my hand and works really well for long gaming sessions.  The buttons are very responsive and the mouse glides very smoothly (I prefer a harder surface).  The aesthetics are a nice feature.  The different color leds are not distracting and they just look cool.  Interestingly enough it comes with a 10 gram weight.  I have no idea what the weight does other than make the mouse feel a little more solid while gaming.  The charging cable is great.  It is designed to allow you to utilize the mouse while charging and protects the micro usb port from bending/movement by locking into place (see picture).  This mouse can also be charged without a wire by using the "Logitech G Powerplay Wireless Charging System" which is a mouse pad that charges the g903 while using it.  I recommended the g903 if you are a casual gamer and are looking for something a little more "fancy" to enjoy your game time.

Decent mid-level gaming laptop
on July 2, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
The laptop came packaged nicely and did not have too much waste. The unit and keyboard were protected by dense styrofoam packaging and cloth. The laptop itself has a nice large screen that enables full HD. This is not a high end gaming laptop but a decent one especially for the price range. I run StarCraft 2 at medium-high settings and the game runs smoothly and I experience no lag on this machine. The Nitro Sense feature is nice to have in order to monitor the status of the laptop and also control the cooling fan speeds. The light up keyboard is a nice aesthetic even though you cannot change the color. The laptop itself is made of a lot of plastic and feels "cheap" but it seems sturdy so far. For the price point, this is a good deal for those that do not want to spend upwards of $1000 plus for a gaming laptop.

Like Inverter technology
on July 1, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
This microwave has Panasonic Inverter Technology for a good price and size. The controlling panel seemed less intimidating to switch over from our old one, over ten years old from another company. This new one is smaller and lighter with the same interior space. It is more powerful and yet quieter during the operation. The door opens and closes very smoothly and quieter. We also like softer and shorter beeps better than the older one's piercing longer beeps. If it had a silencer setting, we would like it better. Overall, great microwave! Cooks well and I like the option to cook popcorn based on the size of the bag. That means you'll get a perfectly popped bag every time. The only down side is the microwave doesn't list the shortcut button menu on the unit. You have to go into the manual in order to cook a potato for instance. This might not seem important but you'd be surprised. Who wants to take chances when warming a cup of coffee or a muffin? Those food items need exact timers to ensure they won't be too hot when they finish reheating. Nobody wants to keep checking the manual to remember the timers for those items when you're rushing out to work. The inverter technology helps with cooking the food evenly.

Small and stylish
on May 27, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
Nice size portable drive, it is smaller than my hand and I wear a small-medium size glove. Out of the box, it is nicely made feels expensive and the one part has a cloth textured feel which gives it a cool stylish look and feel. Easily fits in my bag and even a small cross body bag, so I have all my pics and music readily available.
This drive very simple to set up, and quite fast. I have a MacBook Pro and this was very easy to set up, basically a plug and play. I was able to back up 128GB of data in less than an hour. The install application on the drive for Mac walked me through product registration and gets you set up with the Adobe and applications. Once installed it operates like any other drive. So differentiating this drive is the appearance, it's casually elegant and the fabric top makes it look interesting.
Bottom line, a good drive that supports speeds sufficient to stream HD media, is very portable, and looks graceful while working. A good drive.

Hummer, but nice for an all in one place charger
on May 27, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
Giving this charging station 4 stars because of two issues.
First, I have to remove my case in order for it to charge, and I have a thin case. Because of this I sometimes forget to place my phone back into the case and leave the house without it. Second, is a humming noise. I keep the charger next to my bed because I use the phone as my alarm clock, so I hear the hum in the middle of the night. I can’t say it’s a deal breaker but that combined with having to remove the case prior to charging can be. I am still looking for a charging pad that does not require me to remove the case and is quiet.
I only recommend this wireless charging station for owners of an iphone and iphone watch looking for wireless charging. It’s looks nice on my night stand. You do not have to worry about charging your phone and watch separately, you charge them in one place, therefore it’s a space saver and you only worry about placing both items in one spot. Charging time is similar to plug charge and both my watch and phone hold charge the same amount of time prior to using the wireless charging.

Excellent for controlling screen time
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
Very easy set up, app is very user friendly. It is great that you can control all the features from your phone. The downside is after a free year of premium membership it will require a monthly membership to keep all of the features you tried out for an entire year. If you are tech savvy you can purchase a router and set up parental controls, but Circle home plus makes the job easier, and this is why for most people the Circle Home plus is a great option.
I tried out all of the premium features and love them because they cover all of the popular social apps. You can also set up rewards and the main thing is to limit internet time. Location services are great it allows peace of mind. If you are looking for an easy to use system to regulate internet use and at the same time reward them I would purchase this unit. I think the $129.99 price tag is a little step especially since you can purchase a router with a built in hard drive with these functions included. Also, after a year you have to pay a monthly fee to keep using the premium features. This is the main reason why I only gave it 4 stars.

Great Car Accessory
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
The Roav Bolt is a small black device that connects to a charging port in your car. The front has a single button, bearing the Google Assistant logo, and four indicator lights much like those found on a Google Home Mini. On the side is a 3.5mm jack, used for relaying audio to your car's stereo system. If your car doesn't have an AUX port, you can also use Bluetooth, but it's recommended to go with a wired connection where possible.
The top of the unit has two USB Type-A ports, so you can still charge your phone even if the Roav occupies the only power connector in your car. The ports can send a maximum of 5V/2.4A each, which is more or less the regular USB charging speed. Sadly, there's no Qualcomm QuickCharge support, or a Type-C connector for USB Power Delivery.
In the box, you get the Roav Bolt, a 3.5mm cable, and a user manual. Setup was extremely simple. Plug it in, select it from the list of discoverable Bluetooth devices, and the Google app will automatically open and guide you through the rest. Once you're done, a settings panel appears in the Google app for changing some of the sounds the Bolt makes, among other minor options. The Bolt functions well, responses to voice commands are quick, streaming music works perfectly, and so on. The only issues I encountered were when my phone went into standby mode, when the screen locked. I noticed the responses to my command took a little longer. I have an android phone so not sure how this works with iphones. Other than this minor issue I do like using this in my car it is less distracting and allows me to perform hands free functions.

Minor Adjustments = Awesome Sound
on May 3, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
I set this unit up in my game room which is about 150 square feet and the sound is incredible while playing my video games, music and occasional movies . It is really simple to set up and use if you have ARC HDMI. In use you basically have separate adjustment of the base and sound volumes and a few sound settings - movie, night and music along with three voice clarity options. The sound quality is spot on for TV and music with a really full sound. I found that to get the best out of it you needed to adjust the base up or down to suit the specific content. Once you find the right balance the sound is great. It can be set in the middle for a general quality output but if you want to get the most from music and movies it needs tweaking to your tastes to really impress. And it really does impress. I have a 42 inch TV and the stand is small and it fits perfectly on the stand.

Love using this with my laptop
on April 21, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
I got one of these to use when working with my laptop at home and was amazed by the sound from such a little speaker. I take it with me during business trips to play music in the room and use with my laptop. Easy pairing pretty much right out of the box. The bluetooth works up to about 8 metres which is fine for most purposes and if you're using it with a phone it should be more than enough. I would prefer if it had WiFi to allow longer range portability. I tend to keep them attached by the USB lead provided but on battery they'll last all day in normal use before needing recharging.
Purchase if you travel for business and if you just want to take sound with you without using headphones.

Classic style, Great sound
on April 21, 2019
Posted by: Olive
from NY
I love the classic style of this speaker and how it looks like an amp that will fit in any room. Solid build, looks and feels expensive and has a metal mesh grille that provides protection for the internal speakers. Its portable weighing in at 10.8lbs, but not light enough to carry around for a long period of time. What is great about it is that it holds charge for ~ 20hrs so you can take it to the beach or party and still have charge left over and it is water-resistant. I can't wait to set it up by the pool and control it with my waterproof phone.
The sound quality is amazing, its clear and surrounds you. This unit comes with Bluetooth 5.0 which allows you to pair two devices simultaneously so my friends can play music from their new and older phones. Big, full sound with 80 watts of power. It also has a 3.5mm stereo minijack input for portable devices so you can also use it with a mic.
The Tufton's 3-way speaker design delivers clean, balanced sound in a 360° radius. A front-firing tweeter, midrange driver, and woofer cover the full range of frequencies. An additional rear-firing midrange driver opens up the soundfield even further.
I highly recommend this speaker if you like the amp style and solid build bluetooth speaker.
