Great TV but I disliked the stand it came with.
on June 2, 2026
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
My 60" TV recently broke, and I was eager to get a similarly sized replacement. I saw this TV was just a little bigger, and I grabbed it as soon as I saw it.
The physical setup wasn't quite as smooth as I would have liked.
It really does take two people to setup this TV. You could probably get away with only having one person if it wasn't for the setup of the stand.
I am not a fan of the stand that comes with this TV. It feels distressingly thin, it comes in multiple parts that have to be wedged together and then screwed in, and it requires elevating the TV at an angle (while not scraping the screen) in order to get it attached to the TV itself.
The TV does come with standard VESA mounts with standoffs. I'd recommend just getting a third party stand instead.
The software setup went very smoothly.
The TV comes with the standard Google TV interface. It's easy to navigate and integrates well with the rest of Google's products and services.
The TV also comes with Gemini built in. While the TV is on, you can talk to it like you would with a Nest speaker.
The power cord comes out of the left side of the TV, and it's a little short. The ports are all positioned on a panel on the right side. The TV has ample HDMI ports.
Picture and sound quality are great. Everything looks bright and crisp, and the sound fills the room nicely.
I like this TV, and I hope it lasts me for a while.

I really like this controller.
The controller uses the Xbox button layout and works seamlessly with my Windows PC. It can connect via either USB dongle or Bluetooth. Connecting via Bluetooth, it was recognized as a Xinput controller on my system.
It's a smidge small, but it's weighted perfectly for my taste. The buttons are all well positioned and easy to press, and the buttons have just the right amount of resistance to them.
Aesthetically, the controller looks quite striking. The black and gold color palette looks terrific.
The charging dock also looks good on my desk and is very easy to use.
The charging dock also looks good on my desk and is very easy to use.
The panels on the grip of the controller are held in place magnetically and pop off a little too easily.
The controller comes with a couple interchangeable Dpads, but I couldn't figure out how to get the one it came with off. It appears to be very sturdily attached.
There was no noticeable lag when using the controller. I was able to dash around in my roguelite without dying once.
Battery life is "okay." I was able to get through a day's worth of gaming before I had to recharge. I wish it lasted a bit longer, but this is adequate for my needs.

Personal, portable cooler.
on April 23, 2026
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
Summer is my least favorite season. In winter, if you're too cold, then you can toss on a sweater or burrow under some blankets. But summer? There's not much you can do aside from cranking up the AC or parking yourself in front of a fan.
Unfortunately, I often find myself in hot environments where I just can't get comfortable.
This little "ChillPill" should help with that a lot.
The device has 3 interchangeable heads: a fan, a cooling plate, and a mister.
I was a little dismayed to see that the mister uses a wick that has to be replaced every 30 days or so. The device comes with quite a few, but I worry about finding replacements once these run out. I don't plan on using this head very often because of this.
The fan and cooling plate don't use any consumables though and can be used indefinitely.
Changing out the heads is quick and easy. Just turn the head slightly to unlock it, and lift it off the base.
The cooling plate works surprisingly well, but it doesn't have much surface area. It feels a lot like running an ice cube against your skin. It's a small bit of relief, but it doesn't make a substantial difference.
The fan works quite well. It has lots of speed settings to select from, and it can easily be positioned for optimal airflow.
I think this device will be a real lifesaver this summer.

Great portable monitor from a quality brand.
on April 15, 2026
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
I do quite a bit of work from my local coffee shop and having a second monitor comes in handy sometimes.
This ASUS ZenScreen monitor is light-weight, very thin, bright, and vivid.
My first time connecting the monitor, I did encounter some difficulties. The screen flickered on and off repeatedly and my cursor was bouncing all over the place.
Unplugging the monitor and then opening Windows' display settings BEFORE plugging it back in seemed to fix the issue.
The monitor comes with cables to connect with either HDMI or USB-C. The monitor does need to be powered over a USB-C connection though (a single USB-C from the laptop to the monitor works for both power and video. If you're going to use an HDMI connection then the monitor will need to be plugged into the wall somehow or another USB-C port).
The image is impressively bright and colorful. The contrast is also quite impressive. The black are nice and dark, and the whites are nice and bright.
The monitor comes with a padded carrying case to keep it safe. I do wish that the monitor had some type of protection for the screen itself though. You really can't help but touch the face of the monitor when pulling it out of the carrying case.
It should be noted that this is not a touchscreen.
I also wish that the monitor had USB-C ports on both sides. The monitor only has ports on the left-hand side. There are times where I'd prefer to have the ports on the opposite side.
I think this is a great monitor, and it'll really help my productivity when working away from home.

Finicky setup, but well worth it.
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
I recently got an ASUS ROG Ally X, and I needed a controller to use with it when docked to my TV.
I saw that this controller advertised both XBox and PC support, so I thought that it would be the perfect solution for a device that straddles the two platforms.
The controller comes with lots of accessories for adjusting the thumbsticks, weight, and d-pad. Sadly, the instructions for swapping out the thumbsticks and d-pad were lacking, but adjusting the weight of the device was fairly intuitive.
Overall, the controller feels very well constructed. It's solid in the hands and has decent heft even without adding additional weight. The controller comes with a really nice case for storing the controller and the various accessories that it comes with.
Setup was very finicky.
First, you can't connect this controller to an Ally X via Bluetooth and uses it as a controller. It simply doesn't work.
I was able to plug the dongle and charging station into my dock though, and it works great that way. You will need to connect the controller to a PC via the included cable to perform updates though.
Settings are controlled from the "Revolution X Unlimited" app from the Windows store. I didn't fuss with this too much as the default settings worked fine for my needs.
Gameplay was absolutely fantastic. I didn't notice any lag of any sort, and I even managed to finish the game that I've been struggling with for months.
I think this is a great controller. It could do with a better set of instructions for setting it up and configuring it, but it's well worth it.

Compact fridge and freezer setup
on December 6, 2025
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
My kitchen's layout is unusual, and there is no way to fit a full-size fridge in the kitchen itself. I had a fridge in the adjoining dining area, but the setup looked "odd," and it was inconvenient having to dart over there to grab things while prepping a meal.
I decided to move my existing fridge to the basement for long-term, bulk food storage and pick up this smaller fridge to keep in the kitchen itself.
So far, it's working very well for my needs.
The fridge keeps food nice and cold. I haven't had any issues with it icing over or being too warm. The temperature settings seem just about perfect.
The shelf placement in the fridge portion is a little unfortunate. I had to drop the top shelf down a bracket in order to accommodate standard size water bottles. This wasn't the easiest task to accomplish. The shelves do not move easily. If you want to fit a full gallon size jug of milk or something in this fridge, then you'd have to remove a shelf completely. There is no way that it would fit with the default shelf positioning.
The crisper bin is small, but it's "just" large enough to accommodate a head of iceberg lettuce and a couple small bags of baby peeled carrots (though it's a bit of a tight fit).
The bins on the door are a decent size, and they seem to hold bottles of salad dressing and the like securely.
The freezer is a decent size and has a shelf to separate it into two sections. I was able to easily store my ice cube trays and a couple bags of frozen veggies in it.
I with this fridge was just a smidge larger, and I wish that I was able to fit a gallon of milk in it without removing a shelf, but I'm otherwise quite happy with it.

Good hardware held back by bad software
on November 10, 2025
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
I'm a huge fan of handheld gaming. I tend to game at random intervals in short spurts, so handheld devices have always fit my needs nicely.
This is my first Windows based handheld. I was eager to pick this up as a lot of my favorite games simply aren't compatible with Steam OS, and they aren't available on other platforms.
After playing with this device for a week, my feelings on this device are mixed.
The hardware is excellent. The grips are comfortable, the screen size is terrific, the image quality is great, the buttons are well positioned (though I did have issues with some of the buttons getting "stuck" if pressed at just the right angle), battery life is fairly impressive, and having dual USB-C ports and a micro-SD slot are huge benefits.
My one complaint about the hardware is that it needs more storage space. I've read that the hard drive is user replaceable, but that's not something I'm eager to tackle until I've had the device a bit longer. I'm going to be using a larger micro-SD card in the short term instead.
The software has some serious issues.
I've had several Windows tablets in the past, and I'm no stranger to interacting with the default Windows experience via touchscreen. In a lot of respects, I wish that they'd just kept as the default on this device.
By default, the handheld opens into the XBox app. The user interface is extremely cluttered, and it's trying entirely too hard to sell you stuff. I get the impression that the interface was designed more for making sales than the user experience.
At the time of this review, the device comes with 3 months of GamePass' middle tier option. From within the XBox app, It's extremely unclear as to which games are playable and which games aren't. The interface hits you with a little bit of everything (including games that are only available on console).
XBox has really been pushing cloud gaming lately, but it's unclear which games are able to be played from the cloud as well. Clicking the little cloud icon along the left again brings up an array of games that may or may not be available for this device.
On top of issues with the user interface, I also found that the XBox app liked to freeze when first opened. The only way to get it working again was to hit the physical library button. The app would immediately unfreeze after visiting the library.
The library is also the best way to find which games are installable and cloud playable. You can use the filters along the top of the library to locate these games (note that it has a default filter set for "installed games" when you first open the library. You need to turn this off to actually find anything).
When I first got the Ally, the Armoury Crate software was completely unusable. I got a consistent error about it being unable to update followed by a crash screen. I endured this for three days before I visited ASUS' site, downloaded a fresh copy of Armoury Crate, tried to install it, got told I couldn't install it without first installing ASUS' uninstall utility to remove the previous version, installed and ran that, and FINALLY got a working copy of Armoury Crate on my device.
The Armoury Crate software is a lot cleaner than the XBox app, and it offers more options for customization, but it also lacks integration with GamePass. If you're not planning on using GamePass with this device, you may want to just stick with Armoury Crate for navigating your game library.
Controls are not standardized across applications. I had to learn a completely different set of controls for navigating the Epic Game Store vs. the XBox app or Steam.
I don't like touching the screen on my handheld unless absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, there were several instances (including during the initial Windows setup) when you simply have no choice. Sadly, the screen is an absolute fingerprint magnet.
Once you're actually in a game, the device works well, and the game play is nice and immersive. It's just getting to the point of actually getting into a game that's a struggle.
I think the hardware on this device is excellent, but the software experience isn't very good right now. Software could be fixed with future device updates, so I'm cautiously optimistic that the user experience may improve over time. As it stands at the moment though, device navigation is extremely frustrating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Solid device but not exceptional
on November 6, 2025
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
I really really want to like this device.
"Surface" has long been synonymous with high quality Windows devices with cutting edge designs.
I was thrilled to get the opportunity to pickup this device, and I was eager to see what new functions and features Microsoft had added with this iteration of the Surface Pro line.
Unfortunately, this device isn't as "Pro" as the name would suggest.
My biggest issue is that the storage isn't replaceable OR explandable. I'm a big fan of installing micro-SD cards to supplement internal storage, but this device has completely done away with the SD card slot. The internal hard drive is soldered on and can't be replaced by the user. The default storage simply isn't adequate for my needs. I'll need to supplement this with a USB-C flash drive or hard drive to make this device work for my needs.
That's a huge blow to my workflow as I have lots of image asset and project files that I like to keep handy and offline (I do graphic design work).
The device has two USB-C ports, and that's it. There are no legacy type-A ports, SD card slots, Surface Connector ports, or any other ports.
The Snapdragon processor seems to work just as well as CPUs from other manufacturers. I didn't encounter any noticeable issues with software compatibility or performance.
They changed up the Surface keyboard. It's no longer raised at an angle and now sits flat against the desk. Whether or not you'll like this is more a matter of personal taste. It's not as ergonomic as it had been, but it does feel more stable.
Battery life was impressive but not epic. Working at the coffee shop for an hour and a half a day over three days without charging, my battery dipped to about 25% by the third day.
The device does not come with a charger. I found that extremely odd. I understand that phones are shipping without chargers at this point, but a tablet / laptop requires more power than a phone and takes a more specialized type of charger. Fortunately, I still have a couple USB-C laptop chargers from previous devices that I can use.
My biggest takeaway from this device is that it's a little boring. The device works well enough, but it feels very stripped down and simplified. It's extremely reliable, but it's really only suitable for word processing, light photo and video editing, social media, internet browsing, and light media consumption.
This would be an excellent device for a student or writer, but I don't know that it really meets the needs of a business professional or graphic designer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works okay but they made some odd design choices.
on November 2, 2025
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
I like to keep my body hair nice and trimmed, but shaving can be awkward.
I liked that this body groomer set had an extension handle for reaching hard to reach spots (like your middle back). That being said, they made some odd choices with the design.
The default head with the foil guard is seemingly the only one you can use with the extension tool. There are little clipper teeth along its edges, but I would have preferred to use the actual clipper head for the initial pass and then the foil head to cleanup afterward. Sadly, this isn't an option as the clipper head faces the wrong direction when placed in the extension tool.
The foil head does pull at your hairs some and isn't the most comfortable tool to shave with.
Attaching guards to the clipper head is fairly easy, but removing them is actually quite difficult. At one point, I worried that I'd broken a guard trying to pry it free from the clipper head. Fortunately I hadn't, but it certainly felt like I had given the amount of force it took and the loud "crack" that accompanied the removal.
The guards don't offer a very wide range of options for hair length. They work fine for my needs, but they might not for yours.
I thought it was strange that they opted for a USB charging base in conjunction with a proprietary charging port on the device itself. Why not just go USB all the way?
Despite these various design issues, the groomer does its job and does it fairly well. I'd recommend routinely keeping your hair fairly short as it does seem to struggle some with longer hair.

In some respects, setting up the Brother MFC-J1360DW printer was easier than I expected. I overcomplicated things by telling myself that it couldn’t be as simple as it actually was. I used the android app found on the app store. It had easy-to-follow instructions to set up the machine and to install the software needed to start using it.
The printer is fairly compact, measuring about 15 inches wide and 7 inches high. Installing its paper tray (which required gently squeezing some green moveable “guardrails”) might have taken more time than running through the setup procedures. References to dark directional buttons on the onscreen keyboard to the right of the message screen took some getting used to.
The android app and on-screen instructions walked me through connecting the printer to my home WIFI and installing the various ink cartridge colors. Again, I overcomplicated things by not trusting just how simple that process really was.
I kept expecting that I needed to tear something off of the individual color-coded ink cartridges before installing them. Nope. Just remove them from their individual plastic bags and pop them in. Easy peasy.
Once the ink cartridges were installed, there was a slight delay as the ink loaded into position for the actual printing process. Again, the on-screen directions and app directed me through the process of printing out sample pages to ascertain whether the machine was printing correctly.
It was.
The instructions also guided me through some of the basic functions, such as placing the page to be copied on the glass printer surface and loading the paper into position.
It is easy to load paper into the flat pullout paper tray. You don’t have to fight with it to get it to load a fair amount of sheets.
The printer is made of sturdy plastic and has clearly labeled buttons for printing in color or black and white. There also are buttons for navigating the on-screen options, powering the machine and connecting the WIFI.
Making copies from existing prints was quick and easy. I easily navigated the on-screen selections to reduce the copy sizes to 85 percent and 46 percent of the original. More importantly, I successfully navigated the machine back to print copies at their original size.
I often print items from my phone, so having that capability was important. The app is very easy to navigate, and printing from my phone was an easy and seamless experience.

Not all models include the reheat and dehydrate functions (though all models get the same instruction manual which causes some confusion).

Up to what distance it will detect Human detection only?
I don't know the "official" answer to this, but I have it aimed down a rather long driveway, and it only detects people about a 1/3 of the way down it. Past that, it doesn't trigger any notifications at all.
If I had to guess, I'd estimate that its range is somewhere around 15-20 feet.

Harness your PC's potential with the 980. Whether you need a boost for gaming or a seamless workflow for heavy graphics, the 980 is a smart choice for outstanding SSD performance ~ and it's all backed by an NVMe* interface and PCIe 3.0 technology.
Is this compatible with Acer nitro 5 gaming laptop?
I have one of the earliest models of the Nitro 5, and it installed in mine just fine. Couple warnings though: If you want to refresh your operating system after installing it (recommended to avoid hardware glitches), you'll need to remove any additional hard drives (otherwise it errors out). Another thing: after refreshing the operating system, it will only recognize the SSD until you install all of the Windows updates. After installing the updates, any secondary drives will show up again.

Pair Surface Go Type Cover with Surface Go* for a full keyboard experience anywhere. Ultra-compact, yet it includes a complete mechanical keyset, backlit keys, and extra-large trackpad. Plus, three colors are covered in rich Alcantara material~ for an added touch of luxury and comfort.
What is the power source for the Microsoft Surface Go type cover?
The tablet itself powers the keyboard. The keyboard connects to the Surface Go via tiny pogo pins on the bottom of the tablet. These pins transmit both power and data. Because of this, the keyboard doesn't require any additional power source; and you don't have to play with Bluetooth settings or anything to pair the keyboard to the tablet.

Garmin Speak~ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
How can dash cam footage be accessed? Is there cloud storage for the dashcam footage? If there's cloud storage, how much data/hour would the dashcam footage use? Alternatively, can video quality be adjusted to lower bandwidth usage?
Footage is stored on the micro-SD card inserted in the camera itself.
It can be accessed from the Speak app after you download the VIRB app. Note that while you need the VIRB app to access the footage, you can't view the photos directly from the VIRB app. You instead go back to the Speak app so that it can open the VIRB app and display the photos and videos (I know, it's an incredibly silly process).
If you try to open the VIRB app directly, it will tell you that it can't locate your camera.

Now that Google has released the ability to make calls can this model make calls also?
Not yet. Apparently it can make your phone ring if you misplace it and ask it to call your own phone, but it can't make domestic calls yet. Hopefully they'll add this functionality soon.

Only at Best Buy Dell Inspiron Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Enjoy the convenience of a tablet or the functionality of a computer with this Dell Inspiron Starlord laptop. The 15-inch touch screen makes viewing the small details on websites simple, and the Intel Core processor keeps the computer running commands quickly. This Dell Inspiron Starlord laptop has a backlit keyboard so you can type in the dark.
Just got this. During initial setup it asked to update Windows so I did, and it said something on the laptop wasn't compatible with Windows so it couldn't update. Is that normal for a brand new laptop? Also it gets VERY hot in 10 minutes of just Facebook.
I had the same problem with heat when I first got this laptop. If you go to the Dell support site for this laptop, they have an automated system check and driver update that works wonders. I'll warn you that you will have to hunt a little on the site to find it. I'm afraid that Best Buy won't allow me to send you a link to the page.
After running it, my heat issue was fixed completely; and the laptop runs at a nice ambient temperature now.
I'm not sure why you got an error about something not being compatible with Windows update, but you might want to try running Dell's system check first and then try it again.
