smart phone perfected
on December 23, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apple has pretty much perfected the art of designing and manufacturing phones. The iPhone 13 PRO is beautiful and screams premium quality. You are definitely getting your moneys worth if you buy this phone. The screen is bright and beautiful. The cameras have bigger and stabilized image sensors. The battery lasts all day, even two whole days if you’re just a casual user. Yes I know, the Notch can be an eyesore, and iOS feels dated sometimes. But it just works, Face ID is fast, secure and reliable. iOS is fast, stable and reliable and apples built in apps just work better than most apps out there. I trust the camera app to capture moments quickly and beautifully. Video quality is in my opinion still the best amongst the competition. I have a mirrorless camera which should take better video than my iPhone but I reach for my phone before my actual camera whenever I want to take a video. Phones are very expensive now a days. Whether you choose to get a Samsung , or google phone, or apple iPhone. You’re going to spend at $600 or more for a new phone. So I started recommending iPhones to friends and family because iPhones are just built to last, and you’ll definitely have a great, reliable phone for at least 3 years.

Stealthy Nostalgia and Comfortable grip
on December 23, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
This controller isn’t any different than the others available for Series X, except that it comes in a special edition translucent black with some green. If you’re a long time xbox gamer, you’ll appreciate the look of the controller. It’s a nod at the original xbox controllers. The grip texture on the control is very comfortable to hold for a long gaming session. I love the look and feel of this controller and I think you will too.

Top of the line gaming monitor
on December 9, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you’re reading this review, You’ve probably gone back and forth between a couple monitors and even Tvs debating on which one to buy. I looked at the HD version of this size and I even thought about getting a 43” LG IPS tv. Im so glad I chose to get this 32” LG Ultragear Nano IPS monitor. I upgraded from a 27” LG ips gaming monitor and even though it’s only 5” bigger, it seems a lot bigger and a feels like a substantial upgrade. Gaming on this monitor is a lot more immersive to me. Colors on this monitor are beautiful and vibrant. Blacks get decently black.. yes it has the typical IPS glow, but after tweaking the picture settings a bit, it isn’t very noticeable. I have mine hooked up to an Xbox Series X and my PS4. The monitor does support 1440 at 120hz on Xbox series X through hdmi 2.0. All my Xbox games look gorgeous on this monitor. It even breathes new life into older games. I don’t see any ghosting or tearing when gaming on my consoles. I have the monitor set at 120hz with free sync enabled. The stand was very quick and easy to set up. There is no speakers but you can plug into speakers via aux cable or optical.there is also 2 hdmi ports and 2 standard USB ports. It comes with an hdmi and display port cable. The stand has a notch in the back for cable management. A nice added touch. Would I recommend this monitor? Yes! Get it while it’s on sale! I had to have looked at a dozen other monitors and some TVs and I think this is the best display for $400. QHD at 32” looks crisp, and you’ll get to game at a buttery 120fps on your Series X or PS5. It is brighter than other Monitors I looked at in this price point, and since it has LGs Nanocell IPS technology.. viewing angles and colors are great!

Looks cool but Not very responsive in game
on November 20, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really wanted to love this steering wheel, and wanted to have fun using it to play Mario kart with the kids but this steering wheel just isn’t up to the job. I don’t know if it’s the steering wheels fault or Mario Karts fault.. but this just doesn’t work very well for the game. It is almost impossible to drive your kart or bike in the game. We kept running into the walls and losing because the wheel just isn’t responsive enough for the game. I tried both 180 and 270• settings and they were both still hard to play the game with. There isn’t many good racing games for switch to I can’t say if it’ll work with other games. It’s a shame because the steering wheel is beautiful, looks really cool, and is built really sturdy. But if you plan on enjoying Mario Kart with this then I suggest you stay away from it. Save your money. I am going to try to return it later today.

Inspired from the classics. A full featured wired retro controller to play 30 years of video games. Extra attention was paid to the most critical characteristics like the d-pad, to make sure it feels exactly like you remember it.

Great retro controller
on November 20, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like the look and feel of this controller. Especially for playing the retro SNES and NES games on Nintendo switch online. My only complaint about this control is that it has an old USB plug. I wish it had usb C. I like to plug in my controls directly to my switch to play in table top mode and I have to carry an adapter to plug this directly to my switch. It’ll connect to the dock but I don’t use it for that. Other than that, this control feels great. The joysticks feel like PlayStation joysticks, the dpad is very nice and responsive and so are the buttons. All in all, I think this control is an excellent value. If you want a wired control at a great price than I recommend this to you

Beautiful vibrant OLED
on October 20, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
It’s hard to show in pictures how beautiful the screen on this Nintendo Switch is. You have to see it for yourself in person. If you’re reading this, I’m going to assume you already own a switch or switch lite. I happened to own a Og day 1 Nintendo switch and a switch lite, and I knew I wanted this OLED switch the minute they announced it. OLED screens are a technical marvel and are truly beautiful. I like many others am a little disappointed that the switch didn’t get a new processor for better performance but I am still happy with my purchase. The screen alone makes all the games look beautiful. Colors are vivid and contrast is amazing. When you play it in a dark room, the screen looks like it’s off when a black scene is displayed. Besides the new screen, there isn’t a whole lot new with this switch, the dock was improved a little along with the kickstand on the back. That is also a welcome update as the old models always tended to fall over because the kickstand was weak and small. Games still load a little slow, when compared to phones and newer consoles, so don’t expect a speed increase. It comes with the same power adapter and joycon grip as before. Would I recommend this? Yes and No. if you love your Nintendo switch and want the new beautiful screen, then I think you’ll be very happy buying it. If you’re ok with the screen quality of the older models and want to save money, then don’t rush out and buy it. Not much has changed. If you’re on the fence, try to get your hands on one to see the display in person.

Love the 13 Mini
on October 18, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve had this phone for about 10 days now, and I’ve had a really pleasant experience with it so far. I actually traded in my iPhone 11 Pro Max since Best Buy had awesome trade in promos going. Anyway, I decided I was tired of the big brick of a phone I was carrying in my pocket for the last 2 years. I hesitated for a bit but I have no regrets. The iPhone 13 mini feels great in the hand, especially when using it one handed. It did take a little while for me to get used to typing on a small screen again but now it’s no big deal. My hand no longer cramps up like it used to when using my Pro max for extended periods. It is so light and comfortable to hold. The cameras on it are an upgrade from my 11 pro, pictures and videos look amazing. They say it has the same cameras that the 12 pro max had last year. The screen although “small” is beautiful and bright. Speakers are loud enough for music and video playing. The notch is smaller, and Face ID does feel a little quicker than my 11 pro. The only thing I miss from my 11 pro max is the telephoto lens, but I’ll get used to not having it. Battery life has also been excellent. I average 5 - 6 hours of screen on time before my phone needs to be plugged in. It’s great honestly. It will definitely get you through the day if you use it casually. Would I recommend this phone? Yes! I don’t miss carrying around a heavy brick of an iPhone in my pocket. Yes the big screens and extra cameras are nice but Im over all that stuff and just wanted a small, comfortable phone to carry with me everywhere again. Get this phone if you’re tired of the big phones. You’ll love it, I promise.

Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 13 mini. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ Defense, which is 95% stronger than the average screen protector, to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

The one to get
on October 10, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
I tend to purchase inexpensive screen protectors online for all my devices, but when I went in to the store to purchase a new iPhone mini the representative recommended this screen protector to me. He made me aware of the fact that you can now get your zagg screen protector replaced if it breaks in store. No need to ship it off to them for replacement. He told me to just bring it in and they’ll look up my info and swap it for me. Fantastic! This screen protector was very easy to install. It is very clear and it has an excellent anti smudge / fingerprint coating on it. I just wipe it clean every now and then with a cloth. It feels smoother and sleeker than the iPhones glass. If you have to have a high quality glass screen protector on your phone then I highly recommend this one. It’s relatively affordable and the benefits of owning it are great.

The OMEN 15 is a perfect example of how there can never be too much of a good thing. With an AMD Ryzen~ processor, NVIDIA~ GeForce graphics and cooled by Omen Tempest Cooling, it makes you think how it all fits into such a tiny little package. We don~t need to tell you how good it looks and feels to play on, but we~re going to do it anyways. It~s easy on the eyes with a luscious design and fast display. Crafted with Audio by Bang & Olufsen and super long battery life, so that means you won~t stop farming those wins or those admiring looks. The OMEN 15 doesn~t just stop at having powerful specs and an amazing look. With OMEN Gaming Hub, you can customize and optimize everything from performance controls to the RGB keyboard. It~s easy to upgrade and has all the ports you need, so you can take it even further beyond other mere gaming laptops.

Best gaming laptop I’ve ever owned
on August 30, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’m going to start by saying that this is by far the most powerful PC I have ever owned. Yes I know you could get more power out of a desktop but with the current shortage of Video cards and insane prices of them. I feel like laptops are an excellent buy right now. That being said.. the Ryzen 7 in this laptop runs fast and stays relatively cool. I have not had any overheating issues at all. The keyboard does get a little warm but it doesn’t bother me at all. When you set the laptop to performance mode, the fans do get a little loud but it is still quieter than my PS4 Pro. Even though the speakers are loud enough to overpower the fans, I would recommend using a headset when gaming in performance mode. I believe the RTX 3060 in this laptop draws upto 115 watts of power which makes for very good performance. It runs every AAA game I have thrown at it with ease. I’m averaging over 120 FPS on just about every game I tried on high / ultra settings. Build quality on the laptop is excellent, and it is very easy to upgrade storage and RAM. It comes with 2 x 8gb sticks of RAM and a 512gb m.2 NVMe drive. It has a second m.2 NVMe drive which is easily accessible and upgradeable. I love that it comes with 2 heat shields already pre installed for your NVMe drives. The battery is huge but honestly I have to plug it in whenever I am going to play games. Battery life is above average when browsing the web or streaming video only. You’ll probably get a solid 1-2 hours on a full charge when gaming on the battery. The screen is of good quality. Colors are pretty vibrant. I wish contrast ratio was a little better but it’s one of the better screens I’ve seen on a gaming laptop under $1500. Speakers are loud, and it has all the ports you need, even an SD card slot! I could honestly ramble about this laptop all night, it’s fantastic. I was shopping around for months for a gaming laptop and I’m very glad I settled on this one. It’s amazing and very beautifully designed. The RGB keyboard has 4 different zones! You can pick 4 different colors at a time! Would I recommend this laptop? Yup! And I’d buy it again! HP knocked it out of the park with this laptop and honestly it has enough power to get whatever you need done. You’ll be future proofed with this machine for at least 5 years for sure. My only gripes with this machine are that the power bricks gets very hot.. make sure you lay it on a cool surface. I wish the screen was a little brighter, and I wish the speakers sounded a little fuller and just a tad louder.

Charges but doesn’t sync with Apple car play
on August 28, 2021
Posted by: Pons
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’m not sure if I ended up with a faulty cable or it’s just the way it is. But the cable refuses to play nice with Apple car play in my cars radio. It will connect for minutes at a time and just “disconnect” on its own. It’ll keep charging it but my radio will not display the Apple car play screen. It sucks because the cable itself feels really nice and premium. It has very thick insulation and feels like it’ll last a long time. I ended up leaving this cable at home strictly for charging only and brought along an Apple lightning cable for my car. Would I recommend it? Umm sure, so long as you don’t plan on using it for syncing your phone with your laptop or Apple car play with it. Other than that, it charges the phone like it should and is made of premium feeling materials so 3 stars for that.

Back up your system or move data between computers with this 500GB Samsung portable solid-state drive. Transfer speeds of up to 540MB/s let you save and share larger files easily, and the lightweight design fits into your pocket or bag. This durable USB 3.0 portable solid-state drive uses AES 256-bit encryption for reliable data security.
 

Does this have included software that does automatic backups? Or is this just more of a fast SSD thumb drive? Not a techie so I do not want to have to be doing a bunch of downloads or configurations to get it to backup.

You can download Samsung software for it but you really don’t need it. It's a great fast storage drive

Does anyone know for sure that this drive will allow me to move all of my iMovie files off my MacBook Pro to free up space. It seems too good to be true that it would be as easy as plugging in a USB stick, then transferring all the files onto the drive?

the 64gb is more like 60gb. But as long as you can drag and drop your files onto it, or migrate them then yes!
