Card compatibility includes three card slots for SD, microSD, and CF cards, along with the USB 3.1 interface for the fast transfer muti-card speeds. It is small (about the size of a small rectangular bare of hotel travel soap(and weighs less))and lightweight so that you can easily carry it with you. It is durable enough to withstand everyday use with a plastic housing. It is very affordable. It has three card slots that use multi-LUN technology and allows it to read and write multiple cards at the same time. It has worked well with every computer I have plugged it into. I dropped it the other day and it survived a six foot fall (onto carpeting). It is plug and play all the way. This is a card reader for multiple card format users that need SD, MicroSD and CF card reading capability. If you need XQD or other card formats is would behoove you to explore further. I have had a lot of good service from Insignia devices over the years. Durable, Light and functional. A great multi-card reader.

The ability to quickly and easily switch between devices with a single button press is great for using this keyboard and mouse with multiple devices. This multi-device mouse and keyboard is compatible with a wide range of devices, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The mouse and keyboard have strong, reliable connections to the connected device. Battery life should be around two years. Unfortunately to achieve this the keyboard is not backlit. This multi-device mouse and keyboard combo are designed to be comfortable to use, even for extended periods of time. The ability to customize the settings of your mouse and keyboard to your desired functionality is a great feature. Multiple connection options are great using their proprietary technology or BlueTooth. Although being small (keypadless) and light the construction is quite durable that can withstand everyday wear and tear. The light weight and small size make this a highly portable design. An affordable price for a quality combo like this is a great nice asset. The programmable buttons are a true timesaver. The buttons that are not commonly named on both PC and Mac have both IDs on them – nice touch.

The Panasonic - Technics Premium Class Ottava Premium All-In-One Music System – Silver has -
A CD player that is able to play virtually all types of CDs, including standard audio CDs, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. I still have hundreds of CDs so this is nice. It does not support the playback of copy-protected music files or VBR (Variable Bit Rate) playback. However it is able to play MP3 and WMA files from CDs.
A built-in AM/FM radio tuner. With preset capability for your favorite stations along with the ability to scan for new stations.
Built-in speakers that provide clean sound quality and have the ability to connect to external speakers for an even more robust and fuller sound. It also has built in amplification to power these well designed speakers.
A remote control that allows you to control all of the functions from a distance or you can use an app for that.
Bluetooth connectivity so that you can stream music from your computer, smartphone, tablet or etc..
An auxiliary input so that you can hard wire connect to other devices, such as an MP3 player.
A display that shows song information, radio frequency, and other settings.
An 8-cm woofer unit that offers significantly enhanced audio characteristics as a result of various improvements, such as the reduced weight voice coil, enhanced airflow and increased rigidity of the diaphragm. The woofer also provides superb response and sound clarity to reproduce mid- and high-frequency sound comfortable and pleasing to the ear. The high-res-ready 2-cm dome tweeter unit features a light silk diaphragm that provides beautiful clean sound. The acoustic lens is optimized for the tweeter enhancing the expansiveness of the emitted sound.
A Space Tune function you can use to adjust the sound quality automatically based on the installation location.

The BLAST™ portable blender provides powerful, high-speed Ninja blending anywhere. - great for on the go or personal sized blending.
What I like and am impressed with –
The BLAST™ is mostly dishwasher safe & very easy to clean – read the instructions as the BPA-free cup and lid are dishwasher safe parts. The BLAST is the first portable blender, personal blender or travel blender that conveniently fits in car cup holders.
The compact size, lightweight design and portability of the BLAST™ are quite good. 18OZ capacity and a carry handle along with the slim shape and durable construction make for a very convenient blender! - hand, bag or backpack friendly.
With the Ninja stainless steel, but non removable, blender blades and a lot of motor power it can chew through tough items and ice like a knife going through warm butter.
It has multiple use battery life on a single charge while charging itself is accomplished using the included USB cable.
The Ninja Blast™ is easy to clean by adding water and a little soap and then running for about thirty seconds. I do recommend reading the instructions and that you pay attention to the minimum liquid fill line. It should be liquid (not mayonnaise like I tried :-)).
It comes with a nice warranty and good instructions.
Way to go Ninja!!

Home security service features vary and SimpliSafe provides a plethora of options. Depending on your needs and preferences, here are some features that I consider important. They have a nice easy to install functional app – be sure to allow it time during installation as it appears to need time to connect and search.
Included in the package - Smart Home Integration with other smart home devices like locks, lighting, and thermostats can enhance both security and whole house automation. SimpliSafe accomplishes this in style. SimpliSafe offers excellent 24/7 continuous monitoring of your home, alerting both you and the authorities in case of an intrusion or emergency including things like water incursion (I am ordering additional moisture/water sensors). SimpliSafe provides alarm capability that detects unauthorized entry and triggers alerts, essential for home security. SimpliSafe security cameras for video surveillance, both indoor and outdoor, provide valuable video clips for identifying intruders and monitoring your property inside and out the wireless outdoor security camera has a 140 degree field of view, 1080p HD resolution plus color night vision, and includes 2-way audio. Inside. The wired Indoor security camera lets has 1080p HD video with a 120° field of view for both day and night. SimpliSafe motion sensors can detect human movement in and around your home, providing an added layer of security while set up to ignore pets – pretty cool.
The SimpliSafe system provides a smash-safe soft-touch keypad that is easy to use 24hrs a day, a wireless remote access control with the ability to monitor your home security system remotely using the mobile app. This combined with their live monitoring equates to exceptional security.
Additional SimpliSafe items, features and sensors that are included in this package -
Panic Button, Battery Backup and Redundancy, a 95 dB Siren along with stickers and a lawn sign. I believe that nefarious people will have a tendency to look for easier targets.
Other things that can be purchased include items like -
Fire and/or Carbon Monoxide Detection, Professional Installation etc..
Great easy to install system.

The Sennheiser - All-Day Clear Slim - OTC Self-Fitting Hearing Aid for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss – All-Day Wear & Bluetooth – in Gray is a well designed and engineered hearing system. The specifications put it in the top of the OTC (over the counter) class of hearing aids. One of the key specifications that impressed me is the Ingress Protection (IP) Rating of IP68 which means they have enviable dust and water incursion prevention – basically they are what I would call waterproof. Sennheiser has been making audio devices since 1945 and has a great reputation.
They have given me all day use (around 16 hours), including listening to Bluetooth streamed music. Charging takes several hours which I do overnight.
They are not intrusive looking from an esthetic point of view.
The carrying case is bulky and does not include internal battery power for charging – needs to be plugged in to a usb charger.
Its microphone array works well for phone calls while the sound output in the ear is pleasant even for listening to music.
Overall it helps my aural discrimination letting me understand what is being spoken. They are light and stay in place. Great product.

Feel the power emanate from within the neon-hued shell of the Helios 18. Suit up, strap in – and let Helios pave the way. Equipped with superior cooling technology and a trove of performance like NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 laptop graphics and the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700HX processor with new performance hybrid architecture– this gaming laptop will be your guide to gaming bliss. With the 18" 1920 x 1200 IPS panel, 165Hz Refresh, NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, NVIDIA G-SYNC technology and 3ms Overdrive response time you can say farewell to blur and hello clear, crisp, high-octane gameplay.

This is a perspective to consider when looking at the Acer - Predator Helios 18 Gaming Laptop - 18" 1920 x 1200 IPS 165Hz – Intel i7-13700HX – GeForce RTX 4060 - 16GB DDR5 – 1TB SSD - Abyssal Black. In the early 1980s, a company called KayPro introduced a line of portable computers. The KayPro CP/M Portable Computer weighed about 30 pounds, and had to be plugged in in order to run (no batteries). We called them luggables. The Acer weighs in at a little over 7 pounds and can rum on it’s own battery power. It runs the most up to date Windows operating system (11) and the screen is about the size of the external case of the KayPro. These are awesome machines (the Acer Predator Helios 18 Gaming Laptops).
My experience with the Acer Predator Helios 18 Gaming Laptop was great from the unpacking, the setup and then gameplay along with video editing. The packaging was very protective and very attractive. The setup went fast and effortlessly. Then came the game play. Fast reaction time and great frame rates that are smooth due to the 165Hz refresh rate and the Acer implementation of anti-tearing technology, plus the new and ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. It ran complex and high spec games quietly even on Max setting due to the new cooling architecture. Some people may need more ram, but I had no issues with 16GB. The RGB lighting is fun to configure, and the Predator setup apps are greatly appreciated.
So, in retrospect it is very light weight and fast (and durable and handsome and COOL in more ways than one. GREAT MACHINE! PS it also appears to be expandable (have not had a chance to check).

I have been wearing the Citizen - CZ Smart 45mm Unisex Stainless Steel Sport Smartwatch with Silicone Strap in Black & Silver for several days now. Here are my first impressions.
The Citizen (P991 MX1011-05X) CZ Smart Sport Touchscreen watch is a handsome looking watch that is sporty and yet looks very serious with an attractive non-functioning black knurled bezel with 60 minute markings (with the 0/60 at the top) that does not rotate. But it does look cool if you do not need functional bezel capability. The synthetic black strap looks nice and is functional if a bit stiff. The total weight is comfortable. The case thickness is thin enough to not be a hindrance and is an attractive and rugged stainless steel.
This Citizen watch has sensors for - Gyroscope, altimeter, barometer, accelerometer, heart rate sensor, SP02, and an ambient light sensor according to their documentation.
IBM Watson® and NASA's Ames Research Center, AI enhanced algorithms, learns your YouQ to deliver a daily forecast and an hourly Power Score which is a highly personalized indicator of your cognitive and physical energy.‌ It uses Wear OS by Google™ and should be upgraded to the 3.0 operating system by the end of 2023 and is compatible with both iPhone® and Android™ phones.
The screen brightness is not as bright as I would like unless boosted close to maximum. Watch faces are few and not as good looking nor as functional as their non-smartwatch brethren. It is not water resistant.
Final take - It will provide what they say and it is attractive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Razer - BlackWidow V4 Pro Full Size Wired Mechanical Green Switch Gaming Keyboard with Chroma RGB is a phenomenal Gaming keyboard. It is physically impressive with great human factors engineering.
The extended full size keyboard (about an inch wider than my other full sized gaming keyboards) accommodates a full 101 standard keys plus additional macro, command and control keys along with the Razer™ Command Dial (8 functions) and a volume roller with 4 media keys. The version I have is the one with the razor green clicky switches which are mechanical and have a nice solid click and feel when actuated. You can also get the BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard with near silent key depression yellow switches.
It is easy to set up as a primary gaming keyboard with multiple configurations for different games, battlestation style etc. and also can be set of for quick reconfigure to do video editing.
The RGB lighting is AWESOME with immersive underglow and per-key lighting using the Razer Chroma™ RGB controlled by Razer Synapse.
I use different RGB patterns to show me what functional keyboard layout I am using.
Magnetic RGB wrist rest (weighty at a little over three pounds) that attaches magnetically to the keyboard to power the wrist rest RGB very nice and stable.
This keyboard also features - doubleshot ABS keycaps. USB passthrough, 2 braided Type A to Type C cables for standard keyboard connection and USB passthrough. 5052 aluminum alloy construction for durability with a matte – non glare finish. Great satisfying sound profile with pre-lubed stabilizers and 2 layers of internal sound dampening foam (gives a solid sound – not cheap clink, up to 8000 hz polling rate, 5 onboard memory profiles and you can save as many custom profiles to the cloud as you want.
Wish list - I wish they would expand the RGB lighting software (Razer Synapse) to include macOS systems.
