The AG952 Odyssey Neo G9 49" mini-LED Curved QHD G-SYNC/FreeSync Gaming Monitor has a very wide 49” 1000R Quantum Matrix HDR2000 curved screen with a super-fast 1ms response rate and a 240hz refresh rate, G-Sync and Premium Pro support, and customizable Odyssey Infinity Core lighting for RGB type effects. It was easy to set up by following the included paper instructions (full installation instructions are available on the web) and required about 10 minutes for assembly. It is W I D E and deep. It wraps well to my peripheral vision. The stand allows for ample swivel, tilt, and height adjustment. The large number of mini-LEDs grouped in zones adds great control over blacks and also brightness levels. I have experienced no dead pixels. It allows for easy connection to computers, with 2 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, 2 USB-A and 1 USB-B ports. The built-in control interface is intuitive and allows for great flexibility in configuration. It looks very massive and cool. It is easy to work or play on all day long. I have experienced no eye or neck fatigue. This is an awesome display. fyi - I am running it on a maxed out desktop gaming PC. I love this display!

Webroot's Web Threat Shield is an additonal defense against cybercrime, it protects you while browsing the internet. It warns you about unsafe websites before you click, and automatically blocks bad ones that are trying to install viruses and malware on your computer. It does this through up-to-the-minute data about website reputations and provides real-time protection from high risk phishing sites. It also helps protect you from threats by showing a warning message.
Web Threat Shield along with Webroot's cloud intelligence is great at isolating you from internet sites that contain malware payloads. The protections is real-time. You will find installation and setup easy. I have had no security issues since I started using it.

The Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill & Griddle with 4-Quart Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, and Broil showcases Ninja's 500F grill grate (with a surface of more than 12x8 inches). You get direct, edge-to-edge heat (which is important for uniform cooking without hot or cold spots). So sear, sizzle, and crisp! With the hood down you get cyclonic air, while with the hood up you get very intense high-heat searing. It has an awesome smoke control system that also mitigates grease spatter and helps prevent grease buildup in exhaust vents. All but the base unit are dishwasher safe (the grill plates are ceramic coated and VERY non-stick). The air fryer is as good at producing crisp food as a dedicated air fryer. 7 functions that actually work – amazing! This is my 4th indoor grill and the best one! Easy to use (intuitive for cooking, and easy to clean).

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink.​ The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.

The unit is very simple to operate. It is easy to store in the bathroom (not needing a charger), so it is very accessible for use, I do not have a problem with using batteries (they are great for travel) although plug-in capability would be nice. It glides well and vibrates at a level that is comfortable. It cleans easily. Cleansers, serums and moisturizers seem to absorb better and more quickly than when I apply them manually. It feels good to the face. All said, over the long run, it should improve my facial circulation and lines based on my current experience.

The primary keyboard design uses the Mac layout and has the control, option and command keys. It is rectangular with 79 keys including curser keys but no numeric keypad. Three new F-row keys - Dictation, Emoji and Mute/unmute microphone are available and to me quite handy. It also has three Easy-Switch keys for device selection. The keyboard has just enough weight to be both comfortable to hold yet heavy enough to be stable. The keys are dished for good finger placement. They are positive with nice key travel and very functional resistance. The keys are quiet and nonintrusive. The charge connection uses USB-C charging.The Smart backlighting comes on when you use the keyboard and turns off when you leave it helping to save energy. The keys stay clean which is a plus for white keys.

The instant® Air Purifier AP100 is a small (can fit on a desk size) HEPA-13 air filter that is great for small rooms. It is quiet! It does not intrude on phone or video conferencing calls. It automatically goes into night mode to ensure ultra-quiet and low-light pollution operation. It also has an eco-mode for energy conservation. I took out the filter and then replaced it to see how easy it would be to change. The result – a minute’s time and supper easy! It uses activated charcoal filtration to eliminate odors and plasma ion technology to remove viruses (like COVID-19). It is attractive while being unobtrusive.

Solid and good sound quality especially when using Dolby Atmos on my PC. It has good range and consistency of audio. Good battery life, about 16 hours. Rotating, well cushioned and very comfortable earcups provide sound isolation that is adequate for my use. A soft and flexible suspension strap takes pressure off the top of the head, this is a big plus for extended use. Logical and easy to use controls are a pleasure to work with. It has a great, easy to activate boom microphone with LED indicator. Activate it by lowering or de-activate it by raising the boom. Using the iCUE app you can control virtually all of the functions of the headset. The ability to use the long rugged, flexible braided USB cable or the included wireless adapter make it adaptable for Mac or PC. It is a well designed, constructed and durable headset. The RGB function adds a nice visual touch that is highly customizable.
