Magnetic Band that just works
on May 9, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
This mesh band for the apple watch from insignia is not overly complicated and does what you expect and does it well. Packaging is frustration free, open it up and slide it into the watch and off you go.
I like the color tone of this particular band as it doesn't have the super shiny sparkle of the silver that you would expect. The magnetic clasp feels sturdy, after wearing it for several days in and out of the shower, rainstorms and even in the swimming pool. I never once felt like the band was going to come undone and I'd lose my watch.
Depending on which way you like to clasp your watch (towards you or away from you) both ways work just fine when attaching it to the watch. It's nice they made it compatible with so many different versions too.
Is it as good as the overpriced apple version of the band the answer....yes it is. I don't see any real difference between this and the overpriced apple version. If you are looking for a upscaled band to pair with your watch get the insignia brand over the apple brand and save yourself some bucks. Would recommend.

Wireless headset gaming at it's finest
on May 9, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
Razer is well known for their quality products and this headset is no exception to the rule. Just need to plug in the dongle and mic to the headset and off and running. The headset can be configured in the app via pc or right on the xbox.
The dongle may look a bit odd shaped but Razer includes a nice usb c to usb a to plug it into the xbox easily. No hot swappable batteries here so you'll need to plug it in to charge over the usb c connection but the good news is you can get well over 70 hrs of game time before you need to charge it up.
Comfort is excellent feel like I could wear them all day no problem for a long gaming session. What you really want to know is the sound.
Sound is superb I played some call of duty and really felt like I could hear the footsteps like they were right next to me in the same room.
Headset is also versatile and can be used in a USB mode on the PC as well but you'll get the most functionality using these on the xbox as they were specially designed for it.
Mic is superb and does a good job filtering out background noise, options for side tone if that's your thing as well. The headset is bluetooth compatiable so feel free to pair to your phone or other device if that's what you want as well.
Overall it's a solid xbox choice and the price point feels right for what you are getting. Another solid Razer product would recommend.

The Electric Leg Shaver You've Been Looking For
on April 23, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
This Phillips shaver is the real deal. It's marketed as anything below the neck line is what this product is designed for. It runs on two AA batteries which is a nice change of pace instead of finding it out it's low on battery and you have to plug it in and wait for it to charge. The head is very easy to clean just pop it out and empty/rinse off in the trash.
It is dry or wet shaver so long as you don't get the battery compartment opened up in the water. I wanted to give it a good real world test. Full disclosure I'm a guy and decided to take this thing to my legs just to see how well it performs. Let me tell you it performs.
In a time span of 20 minutes I went from full hairy guy legs to smooth and clean shaven. I did a dry shave and it went great! I was really impressed how easily it took off the hair without pain or irritation, cleaning the head was simple when it got jammed up. It's sensitive enough for private parts as well too, I assume lady parts apply.
I looked through the manual and I didn't see an eta on the life of the razor head but I would suspect at least a year of shaving before it needs replaced.
Overall would recommend if you want an easy electric leg shaver if it could take out my hair then casual up keep on already shaven legs will be no problem.

8tb of SSD storage made easy
on April 23, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
Sandisk 8TB SSD is all the solid state space you'll ever need to consolidate your important data in one place. It could be portable but since it has it's own power adapter you are best off giving it a permanent home near your computer.
Comes with power adapter and usb c to usb c cable also c to a adapter. To get the maximum benefit it should be hooked up to a usb c port though. It boasts transfer speeds up to 1gbps and I did observe this with a usb c connection.
You also get acronis true image free which makes taking snapshot backups of other drives on your computer and saving them here really simple. With 8 tb of ssd space you can easily consolidate photos, videos or any other data you want to back up. Taking a backup of your c drive in case your computer crashes is also a really viable option. This would also make a huge Steam Library drive as well.
My only disappointment was the power supply which really kills the portability to grab the drive and go but it is what it is. The desk footprint of the drive is quite small easy to tuck away and forget it's there.
You won't find a better deal for this much SSD space in a well put together package, would recommend.

Great for swapping between Home and Work
on March 31, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
This new set from logitech is clearly designed with a particular user in mind. That is the person who works from home on a work device and wants to also with their personal home device. Setup Logi+ options software on both devices, sync the mouse and keyboard and voila. You can seamlessly move between work and home pc's with the same mouse and keyboard and also copy and paste between machines.
I found syncing the keyboard to the logi+ software a little buggy but it did eventually work. With a single keypress you can fully switch between saved PCs/Laptops, same with the mouse on the bottom. Mouse can hold two dpi settings, no free scrolling though which is a shame.
Keyboard is a very lowkey slim model which is obvious from the name of it, but I found hitting the keys for work credentials. Maybe I'm just a slim keyboard guy but I found I missed my keystrokes more often than not.
If you want the slim keyboard and the ability to work seamlessly between multiple systems than this is your setup. At the price point it feels worthwhile for the options you get along with it.

Get lost in any passion project with the HP Series 5 31.5-inch FHD Monitor. Its sleek, thin-and-light design gives you the flexibility to enjoy entertainment while vibrant color and deep contrast ratio lets you see everything as it was meant to be seen. Enhance your screen time and your pastime with a higher refreshrate for a screen-tear-free experience.
Posted by: mibeal
If you are a gamer this is not the monitor you have been looking for keep going. This is a 32" VA panel with 1080p resolution. The PPI is less than desirable at this resolution and screen size.
No Vesa Mount so you have no options for arm or wall mount. The stand is fine nothing fantastic or terrible about it. On the back you've got 3 connection's 1xVGA and 2xHDMI. Don't see many VGA monitors now a days but here is one if you are small demographic this is targeted at.
This will take a console over hdmi but remember its only 1920x1080 and its a low refresh rate at 60 hz as well. The colors are what you would expect on a VA panel, no surprises awaiting you here. You can make the usual color corrections in the menu along with brightness, contrast etc.
I don't like the HP proprietary power supply plug, its one more thing if you lose the power brick you are going to have a bad day trying to find another one to replace it.
The cable management on the stand is decent so that's a plus. Overall it's an average looking monitor with an average amount of features. Biggest determining factors for 3 stars is no vesa mount and terrible proprietary connections.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Earbuds for a Niche User
on February 23, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
The latest and greatest from Bose in earbuds. They sit on the outside of your ear rather than inside allowing you to listen to music, podcasts etc. and never have to stop having conversation with those around you.
I work in IT in a corporate environment and these are great for staying connected and being available to provide support all day. Battery life is fantastic 8 hours on standard play mode, 4 hrs on immersive and the charging case gets you another 19 hrs of play time.
You might be concerned about comfort but despite clipping on your outer ear these are so comfortable you will forget you are wearing them throughout the day.
These are custom made for a particular user who wants to listen to music but be available to chat or listen to their surroundings all day. If you are looking for the best in ANC these are not the earbuds for you.
Couple things the case is not wireless charging enabled and a since they don't go in the ear there is no real adjusting the earbuds they just clip on and sit.
With the app you can do the usual amount of customization, firmware updates, edit what the buttons do. The buttons are mechanical push buttons not touch sensors which feels satisfying to push.
If you are the user these were intended for you won't find any more comfortable earbuds to get through your day and listen to music while staying engaged in water cooler talk.

Perfect SSD for Next Gen Gaming
on January 16, 2024
Posted by: mibeal
The T500 is a next great SSD at the peak of it's game. You can put this in your gaming computer or it's also compatible as a PS5 drive. My review will look at the PC side.
Installation was a breeze as with any m2 style SSD plug into the slot and screw it down. I decided to clone my old SSD to this and it worked perfect and I was up and running in no time. Cold boot times to windows login are mere seconds.
Transfer speeds are lightning fast I ran some benchmarks and had read speeds at the advertised 7000mb/s. Whether you plan on making this a main drive or a secondary gaming drive you will not be disappointed.
Just a reminder if you are new to the world of data storage this is marketed as 2tb, Windows will find about 1.81 TB of usable space one you format it properly, this is intended.
Love the fact that Crucial is backing this with an extended warranty of 5 years, you know that they stand behind the product. There's is literally no downside for the performance of this NVME drive at the price point, this is it chief.

The Ridge is a minimalist, RFID blocking wallet. The main cardholder uses elastic to expand to hold up to 12 IDs and credit cards. The typical leather bifold gets packed with faded receipts and unnecessary cards, resembling something more like a suitcase than a wallet. The Ridge is minimalist without being limiting. It~s about carrying less but always having what you need.

Great alternative to a traditional wallet
on November 25, 2023
Posted by: mibeal
The Ridge wallet is a great alternative to a traditional wallet. It comes in a small box and is already assembled and ready to use. It does come with some extra screws should you ever need to replace any of the ones that come pre installed.
I've used a similiar type of clip/money holder from amazon that is meant to be a cheaper version of this and it was in fact cheaply made. You can tell this is the real deal.
Using it is as simple as figuring out the order you want to put your cards/ID's in and then putting your cash into the back strap. I will admit that if this is your first time owning this kind of clip there is a small learning curve with pushing out the cards you want. After a few days it'll feel natural but the lightweight footprint it carries in your pocket will quickly make you glad you made the switch.
The only thing I worry about is the elastic bands on the outside that keep everything in place fraying or wearing down but only time will tell. This was a problem on cheaper brands.
Overall would recommend I love this style of clip and would not go back to a traditional wallet.

Corsair Lightweight Mouse Option
on November 2, 2023
Posted by: mibeal
The Corsair M75 Air Wireless Ultra Lightweight Gaming Mouse is a simple mouse if you are looking for something lightweight and without a ton of buttons to fumble with.
Packaging is simple and frustration free with the option to connect via dongle or bluetooth. You also get a long usb cable to charge it as needed.
You will need to grab the iCue software from Corsair to really get into the details of the mouse. You can do a lot of customization from lighting effects to making custom macros and assigning them to the buttons.
Where this mouse really shines is in the weight and feel of it. I've been gaming for a few decades and I don't think I've ever had a gaming mouse feel this light in my hands. It helps for precision and glides so smoothly along my desk when needed. The DPI settings feel appropriate for what you are getting and fully customizable in the software with a custom "sniper" mode as well.
Overall I found the mouse to be very usable and easy to figure out and with the lightweight perfect option when playing FPS games to get a tight shot off. Would recommend.

Yes it would work fine with a ps4 pro, its a usb drive it would be limited by the usb 3 port on your ps4 pro but you would gain some loading time over the drive that ships with the ps4 pro.

Get peace and quiet anywhere with these Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds. An advanced HD noise-cancelling processor blocks distracting background noise so you can focus in noisy environments, and Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy use with smartphones and other devices. These Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds include a convenient charging case that offers up to 24 hours of use per charge.
How comfortable are they? Do they feel like they're going to fall out with rigorous exercise (running) or do they have a secure fit a majority of the time?
They do not feel secure to me and I tried several of the ear tip sizes. One of the major complaints in my review was that when walking/running they don't feel secure.

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1
New to the market maybe a month or so. Short version of my review is if you just want to use this for checking email typing up documents and browsing web you will be ok. Don't expect any kind of gaming or 4k movie watching on this. Even just using it as a workstation feels somewhat slow with the 1tb mechanical drive. Add a SSD and it will be a speedy machine for you.

Graphics card? Dedicated or integrated? Does it have it's own Vram? Or shares the 12GB system ram?
Integrated graphics not usable on anything but the likes of esport/minecraft games. 1gb vram.

The modular cable system of this CORSAIR power supply provides easy, clutter-free installation in compatible ATX desktop cases.
Is the upgrade from a corsair cx600 to a cx650 plug and play with no changes to connections?
Never re use the ac power plug between power supplies you can and will fry your psu mobo/cpu and maybe more. Only ever use the cable included with each psu.
