Lightweight, productive, and capable of game play
on September 8, 2019
Posted by: Nikke
Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid 4.5 stars. Excellent ultrabook for its price. It's lightweight, has a nice aluminum shell, and speedy. The 360 hinge is very useful and WACOM pen compatibility is great. The Ryzen 5 with Vega 8 iGPU is capable of gaming. Sometimes you need to turn down the settings on some games, especially simulators, but still very playable and enjoyable. So why does it not get a full 5 stars? Compared to similarly priced Dell and Lenovo offerings, the SSD is quite small at 128GB. Of course, you can change that out, but it would've been nice if it was 256GB to start with. The Ryzen 5 SoC, while providing a nice balance of productivity and gaming capability (Intel iGPUs can't do much gaming and will struggle quickly), also demands more power. This affects both battery life (lower than equivalent i5-8250U/8265U powered 13.3 ultrabooks) as well as heat. The fan is on quite often and while many people are very bothered by fan noise, I'm not. The more bothersome part is the hot hair hitting me some times. Last thing, while it's lightweight with decent sized bezels, HP likes to have a massive bottom bezel/edge on their laptops. This results in a body that is deeper than competitors. The similarly priced Dell and Lenovo 13.3 ultrabooks have smaller bottom chins resulting in a more compact ultrabook. It doesn't affect portability much, but it just seems like unnecessary space. The speakers are housed in that additional area on the corresponding keyboard deck, so the sound is much better than competitor ultrabooks when in laptop mode, but the speakers' location are a bit of an issue when you use it in tablet, tent, or presentation mode since it's now on the other side. Overall a great buy and a solid competitor to Dell Inspiron 13.3 which feels cheaper and Lenovo 13.3in ultrabook options. I chose the HP Envy as it was the only one that offers Ryzen SoCs which gave me more flexibility on what I can do with my ultrabook. Not having to lug a big, heavy gaming laptop around while still being able to enjoy some gaming is very nice.

Decent sounding and good volume
on September 8, 2019
Posted by: Nikke
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't particularly find any BT speaker to sound great. Their limited driver size and range just limits what they can do. But amongst BT speakers, the Anker holds it own against pricier and more well known offerings like JBL and Sony. I also have a couple of Insignia BT speakers of similar size. The Anker has a more balanced sound and can reach slightly higher volume than the Insiginia (which also sound pretty decent). Compared to JBL's, max volume is lower, but I think it has a more balanced sound. Of these brands, Sony still sounds best with the most well balanced response and has the best bass output, but the JBL and Sony cost much more. For the money, the Anker is a good buy.

Great travel laptop
on August 16, 2019
Posted by: Nikke
Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid 4.5 stars. It's very small and I love the 2-in-1 feature. It provides much more used case options than a traditional clamshell design. The only downside of a 2-in-1 is a weight hot so I do wish it was a bit lighter.
13.3in is the perfect travel size. There's enough screen real estate to comfortably be productive with multiple applications open, but not so big that it's troublesome to lug around. I also have a 14in Dell and while the additional screen space is nice, I prefer the trade-off of size and weight of a 13.3in design.
Processor, RAM, and SSD are all quick and have had no issues with performance.

Great doorbell, better network
on May 15, 2019
Posted by: Nikke
from Cali
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's plenty of smart doorbells available now, but what separates Ring is their owner network. Their lead in being first to market really helped them as they were able to build a large network of owners who share incidents, etc. It's like a neighborhood watch. As for the doorbell itself, video quality is pretty good, but it takes a while before your phone is notified when someone rings the doorbell. The chime often disconnects itself for unknown reasons. A great feature of the Pro model is the ability to select the area you want to be sensitive to motion detection. The other models lack that ability so there's much more false alerts (my relatives have the Doorbell 2).

Good for the price

As a TV, it is good for the price. I wanted to use it as a monitor though and for that, it doesn't do so well. Text we're fuzzy, but that's not what it's designed for so I'm not knocking it for that. As a TV, it would work fine.

Great Chromebook
on May 15, 2019
Posted by: Nikke
from Cali
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, the Lenovo C330 Chromebook is quite nice. Build quality, while plastic, is very good. Keyboard is good, but not great (Acer Chromebooks have a better keyboard). Screen is great. 360 degree hinge is super useful. The speed of the MT8173C ARM processor is surprisingly good. It handles most tasks without any hiccups, and honestly feels faster than the competitive Intel Celeron powered Chromebooks. My only gripe is the bezels are quite big. This makes for plenty of real estate to hold on tablet mode, but it's significantly larger overall than my Asus windows laptop with the same 11.6in screen size.

Decent quality, but bit slow

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had many SanDisk drives of various types over the years. Honestly their quality seems to have degraded a bit as I've had a few fail. The price for this uSD is great, but the speed is leaving compared to Samsung counterparts. It works fine for normal memory usage suck as a computer. For high resolution picture or video capture though, you should get a faster card.

Love the color and the design is quite nice and different from your normal HDD. I wish it looked a bit more metallic instead of plasticy. As an HDD, it works great. Good capacity and speed.

3.5 Stars. Sounds good, but inconsistent.
on May 15, 2019
Posted by: Nikke
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have the Gen1 dot also and compared to that, the Gen2 sounds MUCH better! Unfortunately, it isn't very consistent in hearing us. When we first set it up, it worked great. Maybe an update screwed something up, but a few months after first setup, it wouldn't hear us fairly often. As a speaker, it sounds pretty good. Bass is the biggest improvement, along with considerably more volume. At Max volume it does distort slightly, but back off the volume a touch and it'll clean up. Gets plenty loud while still clean.
