Not so pro galaxy watch 5 pro.
on August 27, 2022
Posted by: Todd
Ill start by saying Ive been a huge fan of samsung watches since the release of the 1st galaxy watch 46mm. That was my 2nd Samsung smart watch, my 1st was the galaxy watch active. My 2nd smartwatch purchase was the oddly named galaxy watch 3 , then I got the galaxy watch 4 classic. The upper style watch models were my favorite as they have the Samsung exclusive rotating bezel, which makes navigating through the watches display simple and quick. The bezel also makes the watch looks classy and feel high end.
With the latest iteration, the watch 5 pro lte here.... Samsung for a reason decided to ditch the rotating bezel, and add a raised edge and a touch style bezel like the galaxy watch active models. Which in my opinion takes alot away from theyre top model pro watch. This pro model feels more like a sprt active model and less classy and high end like previous gen watches.
Dont get me wrong mkst everything on this watch works fine still like Ecg, heart rate monitor, sp O2 and so on. This just feels lacking to me without the rotating bezel, lte on this watch 5 pro works well on T-mobile for me as does my older watch 2 active lte model i have as well. Regardless of this watches titanium body and sapphire glass, this watch doesnt look or feel high end. It looks and feels like a active model.
I find myself going back to my watch 4 classic 46mm lte model over this, as the GW4 classic looks classier and has all the same features minus basically the temperature sensor, that zi couldnt get to work on my watch 5 pro. I dont find that the larger battery lasts any longer using lte and call and messaging notifications turned on and bluetooth, with wifi off and gps off as well. I still get roughly 2 days before needing to recharge this watch.

Almost perfect PS5 gaming companion....
on August 25, 2022
Posted by: Todd
This little attachable mobile controller is a awesose alternative to gaming on your PS5 and tv. The downside is this requires your PS5 to be ON, if it would work and or connect to your PSN account without the need for your PS5 to be on would easily make this 5 stars.
This fits and feels like a PS5 controller connected to my sons IPhone 13 mini, he really likes this mobile controller. The one thing we noticed is the controller connected to his iPhone connected to the PS5 has a few seconds lag, which js aggravating but jot a deal breaker.
This is light and very easily carried in your pocket or book bag, you cant usethis with a case on which can be a hassle wh3n you just wanna game and go. The price is a tad high, but not crazy like some PS5 attachments. All in all, this is a nice little addition to your PS5 setup and accessories. I do highly recommend giving this a shot if your on the fence.
The buttons and controller are just a tad more compact than the original PS5 controller, but not so much so it takes away or becomes a distraction while gaming.

Great Wifi 6E router for homes under 2k Square ft.
on August 22, 2022
Posted by: Todd
I do like how the 6 built in wifi antennas are hidden inside the routers flaps I suppose you could call em, no need for adjusting or breaking off this wifi routers antennas. Signal for 2.4 ghz band is superb throughout my home and yard. 5 ghz is great with a nide wide area throughout my home and yard. The 6 ghz is definitely not as strong, especially when you roam throughout my yard. But thats ok as I cut2only have 2 devices ( Galaxy S22 U & Tab S8 U) that support the Wifi 6E signal.
I have a total of 66 devices connected to this router from 20 hardwired and the other 46 on wifi and guest wifi networks. The Nighthawk is easyto use and setup, but for some reason I had the worst time trying to setup a Netgear account to actually use the Nighthawk app. You can skip this by using the routers web address. There ks so many options and configuration changes that are able to be made with this new router. I love the apl and web setup and controll. I did not use mor will I Netgears Armor protection. In my opinion its a pain, annoying and unnecessary.
Surprisingly this replaced my Asus AX-6000 router which Ive loved sinced getting it almost 3 years ago. This has 4 hardwire ports and 1 ultra giga network port. I connected a 16 port tp link switch to this for extra hardwire ports for my network devices. There a model one step up that has 8 instead of 6 antennas, I would think the extra 2 built in antennas would definitely improve on Wifi coverage.
I would definitely recommend this router.

Perfect for my Gaming p.c. setup.
on August 18, 2022
Posted by: Todd
Ill start by saying Ive always had one of these battery back ups for my mid range to high end gaming p.c. setups over the years. Ive owned a few different brands of ups battery backup systems over my years, all of which have been the larger tower versions to poser my gaming p.c., monitor, speakers and sub combo, as well as my modem and wifi router should a storm strike and knock out the power. I like theseas they give you enough time to power down your setup without causing any harm should you be gaming during bad weather.
This Cyberpower is very heavy duty and high tech imo, I like the colorful lcd display showing the power coming in and being used, as well as the batteries charge status etc... this has enough power to run my alienware gaming setup with a latest gen intel i9 and nvidia 3080, plus a 27" 4k monitor and peripherals without issue. I run my pc and monitor, modem and router on sure and battery backup, while my speakers and printer is on surge protection outlets only.
The front not only has the lcd display but a usb a and usb c input for charging your compatible devices, which I wont use, but its nice for those that will. I have mo doubt this cyberpower ups will lrotect my gear from power outages, as I have used theyre gear before and never experienced a issue with any of it. These just work as intended and for many years of use.

Perfect Noise cancellation headphones for PS5.
on August 11, 2022
Posted by: Todd
I have to say these new inzone h9 headphones are so comfortable and light when gaming, they feel just like the XM5's, but with a drop down gaming mic. I do hate having to use a usb dongle for these, they should be bluetooth like the PS5'S controllers are. I love the all white look with the white led rings at the top of the ear cushions.
These recharge via usb-c and the battery has lasted me 2 days of gaming so far on my PS5 & Alienware gaming p.c.. The noise cancellation on these is excellent, the padded ear cup cushions are soft and very comfortable for heavy gaming sessions. I didn't care for the Atmos surround on pc gaming, felt to out of phase to my ears. But in standard mode, you could hear every detail in the games, whether footsteps or leaves, etc...
To the price, I do feel these are super steep for gaming headphones, I have Corsair hs80s which I love and these are just a step above them, but the price tag is 3 steps above in my opinion. I feel these should sell no more than 229.00 or 209.00. For the cost these should include a padded carrying case like other XM 4 or 5s sony noise cancellation headphone do.

Great electric scooter for kids & adults.
on August 4, 2022
Posted by: Todd
This Hover1 Jive electric scooter is fun to ride, I weigh 178lbs and it totes me around pretty easily. My 9 & 13 yr old sons love this thing. Ill probably end up buying one in the near future so they dont have to take turns riding it.
This takes 4-5 hours to fully charge, which is quit a long time in kid time. But, the battery does last nearly 1 full hour in S mode hitting 16 mph. I like the handle bar folds for easy transport. This model has a headlight as well as a fully functioning brake light as well. Plus the deck lights up in 4 different colors red, green, blue and pink.
I can see myself using this to go grab the kids when theyre down the street at a friends house when its time for dinner. This is super easy to use and set up, all functions of the scooter are simply controlled via one or multiple presses of the power button.
This surprisingly has real disc brakes in the rear of the scooter and includes a hand operated air pump for the front and rear air filled tires. I definitely recommend giving this thing a try.

Nice gaming pc, but subpar parts...
on July 30, 2022
Posted by: Todd
This is a very nice gaming pc, however the price is high for what in my opinion lower level parts.
Theres not much this gaming rig by Alenware/Dell didnt handle in the gaming department well. It handled all my newer games with settings maxed out, without issues. I like the slick look of the case and all of the rgb lighting. The rear I/O is ample, I like the option of wired ether net or Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth built in.
This has a generic 3080 gpu and power supply as well, also a generic mobo. The 140mm water cooling unit is very generic, plain black with the AW logo on the cpu cooler with a rgb fan. This set would highly benefit from a 2800mm radiator with 2 140mm fans. As the 12th gen i9 chip runs hot gaming. My sons bedroom got uncomfortable if you closed the door, the rear of the pc was blasting out hot air continuously.
The ram is plain jain memory sticks, no rgb or heatsinks whatsoever. I will say the cable management is good, which surprised me. Everything inside the pc is accessible and easy to swap, should you wanna upgrade a component or add say another m.2 ssd or a standard ssd to the setup. This has a WD 1tb m.2 ssd installed.
Ive alwanted wanted to own a Alienware desktop pc, before dell bought them. Im disappointed to say the least jow that I do for what this costs. I know I could build a flashier gaming pc with all name brand parts for the same cost or less.

Nice smart watch tracker for your kids.
on July 18, 2022
Posted by: Todd
Works on ATT network with included ATT jumpy sim. Plans are on the pricey side at 18.00 a month plus taxes. Im a Sprint customer but on T-mobile network so I cant yet use this on T-mobile till sprint tranfers me over which stinks.
The watch allows you to see real time where your child is at, as well as make calls with the watch, send texts and pictures. Its very big and bulky for a kids smartwa5ch more than my oldests apple watch as well as my samsung watches. The worst part which I dont understand is why do they not make this waterproof instead of water resistant. I mean cmon, this would be a much better watch had it been waterproof.
I give this a solid 4 out of 5 stars, removed 1 star for its lack of waterproof for swimming or showering with it on. The app works fine and allows you to set multiple boundries such as Home, School, Daycare and so on and so on.
My 9 yr old has small wrists and this watchband just barely fits him on the last hole, a smaller band included in the packaging would have been nice.

Perfect gps for car to car use.
on June 11, 2022
Posted by: Todd
I really like this Tom Tom gps unit with built in mic for nav, comes in handy without having to use my phone every time we travel.
The window mount is ok, but I prefer to use my own magnetic mount instead for easier transfer of this from car to car.
Setup was simple and only took less than 5 minutes from Opening the box to using for directions. The wifi for updates is great, took about 5 minutes to update the USA maps over 2.4ghz wifi.
The screen is crystal clear and easy to see and read day or night. The 2 built in speakers make the voice guidance easy to hear and understand clearly. The power adapter included is a cigarette style plug with a Usb-A input and the Tom Tom surprisingly uses a micro USB instead of the more common USB
-C input for power.
-C input for power.
There's a rear power button, other than that, there are no other buttons or inputs. Plain and simple, and I love it. The 7 inch screen is super visible to read . I'm truly surprised that there is no micro SD card slot. I guess everyone is doing away with the micro card slots nowadays.

Very nice mini earbuds by Sony
on May 19, 2022
Posted by: Todd
Im loving these linkbuds S everything about them is small, from the case to the buds. Theyre super comfortable surprisingly and they sound pretty good. I have the 1000x3's and hated them, these linkbud S fit and sound so good.
I like they have Google Assistant and noise canceling, only thing these lack imo is wireless charging. These are so simple to use and they stay in my ear without falling out when on a walk or playing my drums.
The case is about 2" wide by 1& 5/8" tall by 3/4" deep. Making these easy to carry in your pocket. I like you can use the equalizer setting in the Sony app. You get extra ear adapters and a 6" usb A to usb C cord. I find these to be very comfortable for extended use with out any ear fatigue.
I really am anticipating the release of sonys 1000x5 earbuds, becauseif these linkbuds S sound and fit this well, I imagine the x5's should be 2 to 3x better jn sound or comfort. While I dont consider these to be a cheap option, they are worth the price for the sound and minimal size.

This is a free sample product received from Linksys Family and Friends program and is really awesome looking, it performs well and gives good signal coverage throughout my three room apartment.
I was dissapointed to find it has no WPS button anywhere, and it dosen't recognize my wireless printer, it's probably something simple and I haven't contacted tech yet, I'm sure it will work fine when I can do that, You can't go wrong with Linksys.
You will be impessed by it's looks and the coverage you get from it, If you invest in one I'm sure you won' be disappointed

this is honestly one of the best headphones I have ever purchased in my life, and definitely a step up in Razers game of audio-phile grade headphones. they are very comfortable and sound amazing with a very balanced frequency signature. I'm so glad they upgraded to 50mm speakers over last gens 40mm. if you want a reasonably priced music headphone, look no further. I would recommend the 7.1 chroma variant for gaming though, plus those come with stickers, these, sadly, do not.
