A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.

I really like this movie - the way it covers Europe and its inclusion of local music makes it a really fun movie. For those who have been fortunate enough to have seen a little of Europe, the film will bring back fond memories.

Better than advertised!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This task lamp is actually better than advertised! Fully charged I have operated it for over 5 hours when set to minimum brightness - and that is more than adequate for most situations, with the lamp directly above the material illuminated. I find it extremely useful because it is easily moved from one location to another for whatever the need is - such as the kitchen table for tax returns, or my computer table to better illuminate some manual. I recommend it!

Outdoor photographers will want this camera!
on December 5, 2021
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have lost two camera to weather. One simply because the humidity killed it. One simply because of a little dust in the air. This had till now severely limited my pursuit of photography outdoors. This camera is a little miracle! It's weatherization allows one to use it in most outdoor situations without having to take great pains to protect it from the weather, or other adverse conditions experienced outdoors. I don't need any contraptions to protect it - it simply hangs from my neck and is easy to operate. The camera body fits my hand easily, and provides easy access to all controls. The lens provided (which is also weatherized) is excellent for the broad range of situations I encounter outdoors. This camera truly is a little miracle for those who wish to expand their skills in outdoor photography. I have attached 4 sample photos - be aware that each had to be sized down to meet the size constraints of the website. One is a shot of a cardinal high up on a tree top. It was taken at max zoom, handheld. Another is of a pileated woodpecker that I was able to get closer to. It too was taken at max zoom, handheld. The dual stabilization does a fantastic job. Another shot is of the near total eclipse of the moon on 19 Nov 2021, at maximum extinction. It was taken at max zoom, handheld, at below freezing temperatures. Finally is a picture of a dramatic sunrise, taken at mid zoom, handheld.
This camera has opened up a whole new world of photography for me. I highly recommend it!

The Philips PH805 headphones give you control over what you hear and what you don~t, no matter what the day brings you. Enjoy your favorite songs in Hi-Res Audio during your morning workout in wireless freedom. Switch to Google assistant to check your flight information with a touch, and then enjoy your flight in silence by activating noise canceling. And enjoy your videos in high quality sound once you get to the hotel. One set of headphones can now cover all of your needs. With the PH805, you control what you hear and what you don~t hear. A tap to the ear-cup will activate noise cancelation, so you can be enveloped in a shroud of silence when you need to concentrate or rest. If you want to turn the volume down on the world but still hear louder sounds like someone speaking to you, simply activate Awareness Mode with another tap. The PH805 comes with Google Assistant, which allows you to manage your life on the move, without taking out your phone. Just touch the headband to activate it. Open your calendar, read notifications from your phone, call or send messages to friends, or check the weather simply by asking Google Assistant. The PH805 is also a quality headphone set that delivers detailed, high resolution sound, which you can use as your go-to headphones for home or on the go entertainment. Hi-Res Audio means that they are capable of playing back lossless audio at a higher sample rate than most headphones and CDs when connected to a high-res source. The benefits of the PH805 last for a full 30 hours, making them an ideal solution for every situation you find yourself in throughout the day (and night). You get up to 30 hours of play time (or talk time) with noise canceling off, or 25 hours of use with it on. If you need an extra 2 to 6 hours of battery life, 5 to 15 minutes of charging will be enough. The Philips PH805 has you covered. And when you are finally through using the Philips PH805s, they fold right up into a compact travel case, making them convenient to take with you wherever you go.

A good wireless headphones at a budget price
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a set of noise-cancelling, wireless headphones that has the most important qualities of its much more expensive competition. But it does miss some of the features of those headsets. Its pros are: it has good quality sound; it has good battery life; it has good bluetooth range; it connects to sources well; it is comfortable; it has a nice case. Its one most obvious fault is that it comes with only one EQ setting. That setting provides pretty flat response across the spectrum -- it works well for vocals, instrumental, classical, pop, operetta, opera. I find it also works well with tv programs - if there is any lag it is imperceptible to me. If you are looking for a set of wireless headphones that are of good quality, but can't justify paying a high price, these are a good choice.

Get a workout while sitting down with the Cubii Jr. Seated Elliptical. This compact elliptical machine has an ergonomic design to reduce joint stress and an assortment of tools to help customize a workout based on individual health and fitness needs, including eight resistance levels to help adjust intensity to appropriate and challenging levels for each user. This machine, which is made to work quietly, does require some light assembly (it comes with a tool to attach the pedals).

This Cubii is excellent for getting some exercise regularly during the very cold and icy winters of Minnesota. It is a quality product that will last a very long time. It is whisper quiet, and does not dominate a room - making it great in a modestly sized apartment. I recommend it highly.

This headset has very good audio! I have tested it on my Xbox One X console, my S7 Edge cell phone, and on my desktop computer. It has good audio with the mic, but the mic needs to be positioned close to your mouth. It is a very comfortable headset! It is a solidly made headset, and looks sharp but not garish. I recommend it highly!

Excellent speakers for apartment dwellers!
on October 24, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are excellent speakers for my vintage stereo system. My 45 year old Kenwood KR-2400 receiver/amplifier is rated at just 17W/channel, but is well matched to these new speakers and sounds great. It provides plenty of volume for my modestly sized apartment living room with these speakers. I got a pair of Rockville stands to put some distance above the floor, and provide some acoustic isolation (important in an apartment complex).

Great for Automotive Technicians
By torquewrench
Let me start by saying that I am far from a computer expert but I know enough to get me by. I can't speak to technical operating specs but I know when the computer works properly for my applications.
As a professional automotive technician, I needed a reasonably priced, good laptop to run vehicle manufacturer specific diagnostic programs for vehicle diagnostics and programming with hardware such as a j2534 passthru.
This Lenovo laptop has Windows 11 in S mode which needs to be switched out of to allow program downloads. The screen is a nice size and very crisp as well as being touchscreen, the mouse pad is very responsive and easy to use and the battery life appears good although I rarely use it off the charger for more than a couple hours at a time.
This computer does everything that I have needed it to do and has done it well. I purchased for less than $300 and consider it a great value for what it is. 5 stars from me, no complaints.
Great Review!

Multi-Task Effortlessly
By RachelR
I love my tablet! I have the Lenovo Tab P12 with Tab pen plus. I use my tablet in multiple ways such as watching movies, using office, taking notes and this tablet is not a slouch. I read some of the reviews and the tablet that is on sale on the Lenovo website is the 8gb and 128 model and it is not this model that we are reviewing so I wanted to correct some of the reviewers. The model that we are reviewing is 8gb and 256 model. The tablet has split screen which allows me to multitask effortlessly. I choose the right tablet to meet my needs and the selling point for me was the 12.7 inch display which is awesome so I love my tablet and I would recommend this tablet to anyone that is looking for a great tablet to multitask on effortlessly.
Thanks for the clarification!!

Nice little computer.
By Twiz1
Nice little laptop for the price. Very light decent screen and runs fine. I don't live the lower version of Windows 11, but that's on me for not noticing it. I will probably pay to upgrade to pro at some point. It didn't have a backlit keyboard but the buttons have enough contrast that i can still see them in low light. Again for the money you can't expect every bell and whistle.
Removing S mode

It is easy to remove S mode and regain the full power of Windows 11 Home. In addition, it will cost you only about 5 minutes of your time, and nothing else!

Fantastic for what I got it worth.
By Clyde
I really love the laptop. Its great and does exactly what I needed it for for the most part. I'm only disappointed because it doesnt have enough USB slots, which I needed at least 3 of so I could use my drawing tablet on it. I got a USB port extender for it and that doesnt help out much because the port's power isn't good enough I think. I only wish it had more USB slots, then it would be perfect for me. It is very fast, though, and that makes me very happy, and I can play minecraft again, which also makes me happy.

More Powerful & Offers Better Ergonomics.
By Andrea1969
This Theragun Pro is more powerful and offers better ergonomics. The noise level is significantly higher. If you ultimately care for force and noise is not a concern, I suggest you make yourself a massage gun with a jigsaw - it will have all the amplitude and stall force you can handle and then some… Of course, get yourself and others around you some earplugs. But the Theragun seems to offer the perfect balance.
The 3 things that drew me to it were:
1) the 60lb stall force vs the 30lb stall of my generic unit (the 16mm vs 10mm massage depth was also a consideration)
2) the Theragun's proprietary triangular shaped handle
3) the 2 swappable batteries, that allowed for longer sessions (and allow for charging one battery, while the other is in use)
After using this TheraGun Prime Quiet Deep Tissue Therapy Massage several times already, here are my key points:
- that triangular shaped handle (and the ability to change the angle of the arm) are THE biggest improvements, to me, ESPECIALLY for using the unit on myself.
The triangular grip, and the adjustable angle of the 'arm', make it much easier to find a comfortable, secure grip to use this on myself (especially on my shoulders and back, but even on my arms, thighs, pecs, calf muscles etc.), compared to the 'T' shape of my generic unit (and every other unit on the market).
- the 60lb stall force (and 16mm depth vs 10mm) allows me to get an even deeper massage, especially on my back. I use it while sitting in a chair/recliner and lean back into it, so the (padded) back of the recliner allows me to brace the unit to push harder and apply more pressure (and as expected, the generic unit with its 30lbs of force will stall out, where this Pro unit with its 60 lbs of force keeps going).
***IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WONDERING***
- the Bluetooth connectability and app that can be downloaded are interesting, and allow you to load 2 more settings on the unit, and a constant speed mode (that can manually be adjusted faster or slower), and a varying speed mode (that slowly varies back and forth from the slowest to fastest speed).
You need to download the app to load/program the other 2 available mode settings, otherwise, selecting those does nothing (the modes show up on the display as 'T', 'I', 'II', and 'III'. Modes 'II' and 'III' aren't pre-programmed).
Interesting to play with the app, and the various modes/sessions on the app not only have countdown timers for each bodypart/muscle group, but the app even shows you where to apply the Theragun, and gives you a recommended range of how much force/pressure to apply (and the unit itself has a sensor that indicates how hard you're pressing/how much force you're applying). Interesting and it may be of value to some.
- some folks complain that the unit is loud. It's not a consideration to me. My primary concern is how well a massager works as a massager. As far as how loud, I can still have a conversation while using the massager, without having to yell, or constantly say, "WHAT?!! I didn't catch that". I wouldn't use it next to someone who's asleep, but having used various massagers over the decades, I don't really find this one exceptionally loud. There may be units that are quieter than this one, but as mentioned my priority for a massager, is how well it works as a massager.
Is this Theragun Pro worth 3x to 4x the cost of cheaper options? That's going to be an individual choice. For me, the triangular handle and adjustable 'arm' angle allowing me to find a secure, comfortable grip to effectively use it on myself, coupled with the higher stall force alone, make it worth it.
Wrong place for this review
January 26, 2024
This review is for a different model than the Theragun Sense, where it is presently placed.

Incredibly pleased
By BenC
This drive is shockingly fast. Its for the system drive in my PC and I wanted a cooling block to increase lifespan. I upgraded from an Intel nvme v3 to this just because I wanted to increase space.
My drive was already amazingly fast because I upgraded from an SSD. That shocking speed increase was hard for me to believe. Well upgrading to THIS drive feels that much faster than my old nvme.
I intend to buy another so I can clone periodically just because I'm not sure how long nvme drives will last. Cloning only took 9 minutes for 1tb!
Top tip: download the free utility Clonezilla instead of paying for a commercial software. It makes a bootable USB and it's free.
Clone for backup a great idea

M.2 SSD
By jim0708
It says 2 slots for M.2 SSD. Bought a spare one when bought this desktop. But when i am about to install it, i cant find the other slot the other M.2 SSD
There are two M.2 slots
November 2, 2024
One of your photos does show two M.2 slots. One is occupied by the SSD, and the other is occupied by the wifi card for your computer. I agree that the language used in the description is somewhat misleading - but I have seen this in the descriptions of a lot of other systems. You can still use one of the SATA ports in your computer to install a conventional SSD for additional storage.

Backup waveform is hit or miss with electronics

Electronics generally require a sinusoid. When in backup mode, this puts out severe square waves which may or may not work with your electronics as shown in the attached images. This sort of waveform works well with inductive loads (i.e. refrigerator compressor, air conditioning condenser, etc.) BUT NOT WITH SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS.
In this instance, it worked with my desktop, but not the monitor.
Excellent point!

You make an excellent point. I especially appreciated your distinction between power for a desktop, as opposed to a monitor. I will shift my monitor plug to the surge protected half of this device. In the event of a power outage, I can force a shutdown of my desktop without having to see a monitor.

Great office/school laptop, easy to upgrade
By MichaelY
Great laptop for office use, especially with some upgrades. On sale I picked it up for $220. The SSD and RAM slots are immediately accessible after removing the bottom cover, and for $300 total (not including tax) I had a 16GB/1TB setup. An 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM costs about $25, and a 1TB SSD about $55. My pictures show a 2TB SSD- I also did a 512MB with no problems.
The 14 inch frame is the perfect portable size for me- just large enough to be useful, but not getting unwieldy like 15 or 17 inch laptops. Three pound weight is nice, less than that and you're paying a huge premium for "ultrabook" weight laptops. The keyboard is centered (I hate offset keyboards on laptops) with no physical ten-key.
I can confirm that this particular model (i3-1315u, 8GB/128GB) comes with one SODIMM slot open from the factory, so all you have to do is drop in an 8GB stick to upgrade to 16GB total RAM. The factory RAM on board is DDR4-3200, so get a stick of that rating or higher to match.
The NVME slot is PCI-E gen 3, so pretty much anything on the market will work- gen 5 is just starting to sell, gen 4 is the bulk of the market, and gen 3 if you can find it might be a bit cheaper. I had no issues with a 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB SSD replacements. Macrium Reflect Home (free) is your friend for SSD cloning. The factory installed Windoze 11 Home uses 50GB, so you only have a little over 67GB free after initial setup and updates (that were available in Aug 2025).
Benchmarks: The i3-1315u benches on PassMark around 11500, so it's more than enough to be plenty speedy for office and school work. It's not going to do heavy lifting for 3D rendering or AI training, but at this price point that's not what you're looking for. For gaming, it's not going to play AAA titles, but the integrated graphics can actually run e-sports level titles decently well. Before adding memory (and therefore running single channel), it scored 8032 on 3DMark for the Night Raid DX12 test. The i3-1315u has 64 execution units, and an i3-1115G4 with 48EUs that I just set up but running dual channel memory scored 8464 on the same benchmark, so I expect the 1315u to be able to score above 10000. Either way, more than enough to run a few rounds of Rocket League or Minecraft when you feel like it.
Get this for yourself for a cheap capable office laptop, or for the student that you don't want wasting their time playing Doom Dark Ages or Cyberpunk. My gamer son would be frustrated with this laptop, so that makes it perfect!
Excellent review!
