Outstanding Gaming Headset with Dolby Atmos
on August 12, 2019
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Astro Gaming A50 Headset + Base Station came with A50 wireless headset, base station, micro USB cable, optical cable, instruction guide and two year subscription code for Dolby Atmos. Setup is pretty easy by connecting the USB and optical cable into the base station and Xbox. Setup is similar like any other headset while connecting to computer. I have downloaded the latest firmware and everything is working great with latest firmware.
The design is solid for durability and comfort to wear for a long period of time. I have been using various types of headsets for gaming and listening music. ASTRO A50 is perfectly balanced to fit and very lightweight as well. I have not faced any discomfort using this headset for a long period of time. On the right side of the headset, there are various buttons for to power on / off, Dolby button, EQ button, volume control and game audio / player voice balance buttons. On the left side, microphone can be adjusted up and down. The cool feature is that microphone will be muted automatically if it in the upward position. To charge the headset, there are two options either with USB or wirelessly on the base. In the back side of the base, there is a switch for PC or XBOX mode, USB port, optical in / out, AUX and micro USB port. In the front, there are various lights to indicate PC or Xbox mode, battery status, Dolby status and EQ mode.
The audio quality is outstanding with ASTRO audio V2 and Dolby and surround sound is mind blowing experience. With included 2 year Dolby Atmos subscription, the audio quality and fell is completely different level. I have been using this headset for many hours in each day and there is no connectivity issues as well. Battery life is really good and came close to 21 hours. ASTRO A50 is one of the best headset for Gaming and PC. I have been using this headset even for my office skype calls and it is working perfectly. The range is really good and I can walk around during the calls and there is absolutely no issues with signal.
I highly recommend this headset to everyone due to design, audio quality and long battery life.

The LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdw is very compact and packed with powerful features for print, scan and copy. Setup was very easy and it came with Preinstalled HP 58A Black LaserJet toner cartridge. I have connected with my desktop using the USB cable provided for initial setup and downloaded the software from HP site. I have followed the instructions to configure the printer to print over the wireless. After the software installation and configuring the printer, I was able to see this printer on home network to print from any devices. It is very convenient to print from other devices and my son is using this printer every day for his school work and printing from his laptop.
It came with HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdn Black-and-White All-In-One Printer, Preinstalled HP 58A Black LaserJet toner cartridge, Power cord, Phone cord, Owner's manual. It has 2.7" CGD (Color Graphics Display) touch screen to print, store files and business apps directly from your printer. This printer can print up to 38 ISO ppm* in black. It can handle large volumes quickly at low cost per page. Tower is using powder instead of ink to get smudge free images and text. It has feature with Apple Airprint enabled to print from iPad and iPhone.
This printer works with HP 58A (CF258A) and HP 58X (CF258X) toners. The preinstalled HP LaserJet toner cartridge yields up to 3,000 pages. The resolution of printing is superior quality and it can print up to 4800 x 600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution in black, The paper tray can hold up to 350 sheets input capacity and 150 sheet output bin. 50 Sheet automatic document feeder is really nice to copy, scan or fax multiple pages easily.
The design is very good with stylus looking. I have been using InkJet printers and cheap laser printers before and HP MFP M428fdn is huge upgrade. I am using this every day for copy, print and scan for my personal and office work. It is one of the best printer in the market with excellent configuration. I highly recommend this printer for home and office use and now I am a big fan of HP products.

It is very easy to emptying the dirt cup. With one button press, it will pop off from the canister. The design and look of this vaccum is really good. It is portable and comfortable to hold.

Excellent Pop Symmetry case for iPhone XS Max
on June 11, 2019
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I was looking for solid and reliable case for iPhone XS Max. OtterBox + Pop Symmetry Series Case for Apple® iPhone® XS Max - Black is an excellent solution. I have been using Otterbox products for many years and always check their products first for phone cases before looking any other manufacturers.
Installation is quick and easy. The phone fitted perfectly into the case without any issues. It is a great case and very easy to holding the case along with phone. I was able to use all features of the phone with case like taking pictures, adjusting volume etc. I was using clear case for long time and started using Otterbox cases for expensive phones like iPhone XS Max. I have ordered two more cases for my spouse and son. Using the Pop Grip as a kickstand is limited to horizontal position only. Polycarbonate and synthetic rubber exterior make this case very stylish look and durable.
I have been using wireless charging option for iPhones. I tried with case and it is working without any issues. There are few instances my phone dropped on the solid floor and nothing happened due to this case. It protects the phone really well to avoid any damages. I highly recommend this case to anyone who are looking to protect their expensive iPhone XS Max.

Budget friendly Gaming Laptop!

Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I have been using Gaming Desktops until now and looking for decent mid-range gaming laptop without breaking the bank. Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop is an excellent option for mid-range gaming laptop. It has decent configuration to play games. It comes with 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-9300H mobile processor with smart quad-core, eight-way processing performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The 15.6" Full HD display with Acer Comfy View technology reduces reflection. The 1920 x 1080 resolution boasts impressive color and clarity. The display has IPS technology and LED backlight.
It has 8GB system memory for advanced multitasking and substantial high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run your games and photo- and video-editing applications, as well as multiple programs and browser tabs all at once. There are two drives in this laptop 128GB SSD and 1TB Hard drive. Due to SSD, boot up is very fast and data access is instant. It has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics with 4GB GDDR5 dedicated video memory for a fast, advanced GPU to fuel your games.
It came with Windows 10 operating system and weighs only 5.5 lbs. and measures 1.1" thin. This laptop has many ports 1 full HDMI port, 3 USB ports, 1 USB-C port and Ethernet port. I am disappointed that there is no display port to connect with external monitor on high resolution. It comes with Built-in webcam with microphone for video calls and skype calls. The keyboard is with backlit. The sound quality of the speaker is not great and i don't have any issues as i will be using headphones most of the time. There are many games suffering as there is no Gsync capability. Battery is OK and it last around 4 hours with continuous usage.
Acer Nitro 5 is a mid-range gaming laptop. If you are a hardcore gamer and looking for all features, it may not be a good fit. However, this laptop is great for budget conscious users as it has decent configuration.

Excellent Power Bank for Apple Watch!
on May 20, 2019
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I have been waiting for power bank to charge Apple watch. Belkin has added a new portable recharger to its BoostUp power accessory lineup, with the BoostUp Power Bank 2K for Apple Watch offering a way to top up the charge for the wearable device without requiring the use of Apple's own magnetic charger.
This power bank made exclusively for the Apple Watch and it is MFi-certified. The BoostUp Power Bank 2K for Apple Watch has a built-in Apple Watch charging segment on one side, designed to fit Apple's smartwatch. Once connected, it acts just like a normal magnetic charger, with the Apple Watch receiving power while in position on the power bank.
The charging element is also positioned to one end, allowing the Apple Watch to be put on its side by standing the bank on one edge, enabling it to support nightstand mode. The unit measures 3.11 inches by 1.65 inches and 0.68 inches thick, and weighs in at 70 grams (2.5 ounces) making it lightweight and useful for camping or weekends trips.
It can provide up to 63 hours of battery life for the Apple Watch. The power bank itself is recharged via micro USB with a six-inch micro USB cable supplied with the bank. The 2,200mAh-capacity unit has a series of four indicators near to the micro USB port, used to show how much charge is remaining in the bank. The charger will support all Apple Watch models, both 38mm and 42mm sizes. The unit is covered by a Belkin Connected Equipment Warranty, which will repair or replace devices connected to the charger that suffer electrically-caused damage, up to a value of $2,500 for added peace of mind.
The 2,200mAh battery is enough to get you 3-4 full Apple Watch charges, which is perfect for weekend travel. I highly recommend this power bank to anyone who are frequently travelling on weekends.

Excellent Wireless Charging Stand for iPhones!
on May 20, 2019
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I have been looking for fast wireless charging options for iPhone XS Max and tried a few stand up type Qi chargers. Setup is quick and easy. Just open the box and connect the power cable, and you are done with setup. The stand will stay in table perfectly due to rubberized bottom. A small LED light at the front of the pad will indicate charging status. It supports 10W wireless charging which is the fastest available to charge smartphones. It charges very quickly even with the case on the phone. It came with USB cable and power adapter.
I am using this charger everyday as it is convenient to place the phone on the pad rather than searching for the charging cable. I have been using Belkin products for long time and this one is working without any issues. If you are looking for wireless charging option for iPhones, Belkin BOOST↑UP Wireless Charging Stand is by far the best wireless charging stand.

2 out of 5
2 out of 5Not worth for the price
By Jacobs
from CA
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:

- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:
+RT-66R allow you to create a personal cloud with your router with AiCloud application. I am able to enjoy my music and movies over AiCloud on the move.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

5 out of 5Outstanding 2-in-One Tablet from Samsung

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus

• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?
