Pixel Buds A-Series bring you rich, high-quality sound for a lot less than you~d expect. Their beamforming mics help make calls crystal clear.*** The flush-to-ear design is stylish, and the stabilizer arc keeps them in place so you can wear them even during the sweatiest workout.**

I Love the Free.99 Price Point!

Got these as a free launch promotional item with my Pixel 6 Pro.
These are great earbuds aside from that fact and sync perfectly with Googles Android ecosystem.
No more fuddling around with Bluetooth as they connect perfectly every single time.

I'll keep it simple...
The Good:
-Price. This is a flagship level phone. It's over $500 less than an iPhone 13 Pro. Getting a flagship level phone for under $1000 in 2021 is extremely competitive.
-Pure Android.
- 3+ years of guaranteed updates.
-Camera is #1 or #2 among all phones out currently. Selfie cam is a major upgrade to previous generations.
-Speakers are LOUD and CLEAR.
-Call quality is superior and almost cathartic.
-Battery life is all day and then some (even for a power user like myself).
-Haptics are like a Rolex watch and make my fingers smile.
-Screen is beautiful and bright enough for the sunniest days.
-Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back.
-The adaptive battery software, which was simply just acceptable at first, has learned through my individual usage to become more efficient with battery life.
-It personally like the bold design (subjective).
Tensor chip exceeds expectations for a 1st generation offering. No hiccups or stutters, ever.
Free included Pixel A Buds for the launch! ($99 value).
Needs Improvement:
-While the battery life is better than average and learning every day, it should provide much more life for 5000 mah(s).
-The glass design, while aesthetically pleasing, is the slipperiest phone I've ever had. Luckily I was able to obtain a case. This is not the phone to go without a case or at least a skin for extra grip. You've been warned.
-Charging time up to 50% is fast at 30 minutes but a full charge takes 2+ hours. 30W fast charging is misrepresented.
-23W wireless charging is a little on the slow side and requires the ($79) Google Pixel Stand for that maximum charging speed.
-Android 12 needs a few tweaks. Namely shortcuts to toggle switches. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
-The curved screen makes screen protectors almost impossible to be effective protection and or not look like garbage. Also good luck using the finger print sensor with one on.
-No face unlock currently (update coming allegedly?)
-Phone is hefty but manageable. You WILL notice a difference in your pocket.
The Bad:
No charging brick included! Also the 30W Google Charger is overpriced. You likely don't even need a new one due to the phone actually wired charging at 23W.
-Finger print sensor is too slow for a flagship level phone and often misses your print entirely. "Security enhancement" was used as the excuse.
-Horrendous pre-ordering process. RIP to everyone waiting until 2022 for their phones.

A good game but please let the AC series be over
on October 18, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been playing Assassin's Creed since the beginning with Altiair and it's been a wonderfully original epic that combines actual history and science fiction.
But like most things that continue on and on in perpetuity, we ask ourselves: "is it better to fade away than burn out?"
And my answer is No. It's not better to fade away. The series's magnum opus is undoubtedly the Ezio storyline but the constant departures from a solid plot and trying to recreate success have really diluted the original concepts.
Play it. Enjoy it but also realize that "good books end."

Anker is always a solid choice for charging!

Cheap, effective and durable. Still holding up just fine almost a year later.
I chose this iPhone watch charger specifically because it was made by Anker and that for me is synonymous with quality.
Also it folds up really nicely and is perfect for travel.

This 19-inch screen has clear images and rich, natural color with an LED flat-screen and 720p HD resolution. It has the connections you need for video players, speakers and more. VESA mounting holes make wall mounting easy. Relax with the Insignia NS-19D310NA21 19" Class N10 Series LED HD TV.

Need a cheap/effective second computer monitor?
on October 17, 2021
Posted by: TechGuru
Verified Purchase:Yes
Instead of purchasing an overpriced second computer monitor for spreadsheets and the like, consider getting a small TV instead.
You'd be hard pressed to find something cheaper. My only complaint is that it would be more portable but that's what my laptop is for..

Future-proof speeds; perfectly links with Comcast
on October 17, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Gigabit internet and WiFi 6E are not part of average US home internet setups...yet.
A 2.5gbps modem is akin to buying an advanced ticket to Mars on SpaceX. You're gonna be waiting around for a while until it's viable.
However, future-proofing aside, it has a practical application.
Comcast over-provisions their internet in many cases. So you may get higher speeds than what you pay for by using a more advanced modem like the one reviewed here.

Don't over-research questionable alternatives. This updated Nvidia Shield remote is OEM and works with the 2017 Pro Model.
It also is able to control the volume of your TV and or soundbar in addition to the power through CEC.
In other words, one remote is all you need now to control everything.

Game of the Year 2020
on December 12, 2020
Posted by: TechGuru
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wow... Every bit of this game is a masterpiece. TLOU2, along with it predecessor, will be the series that defines the PS4 generation.
HBO is also in development for a series with the games creators as producers!
That being said, it's a pretty dark sequel (in an already dark narrative) compared to the original. But if every day is a sunny day, then what's a sunny day?
Ignore the naysayers and enjoy the game that swept almost all the awards.

I watched Ghost in the Shell for the first time over 20 years ago. Rewatching it now in 4k Ultra HD feels like the first time I viewed it as a kid.
Pair with an OLED for maximum enjoyment.
