The Rexing V1P Flex X4 is a basic dashcam with questionable video quality.
There are 2 ways to connect the dashcam, you can either hardwire it to your car using the included smart hardwire kit, or you can just use the standard 12v plug via the cigarette lighter. The X4 has a front dash camera that is capable of recording 4k video, as well as a rear camera. Although, there is no quick record button on the dashcam for those times you want to save your recordings. I think this should a standard on all dashcam models. There is a small square LCD screen for live view, but it’s so small that it’s tough to see anything.

The Flex X4 has the ability to be set in parking monitor, which can be a useful security feature for when you’re not in your vehicle. In order to enable the parking monitor, you’ll need to have the dashcam hardwired with the smart hardwire kit. This also allows you to use parking mode without draining your battery. The camera does feature motion detection while in parking mode, but according to the instructions you’ll need to purchase the Rexing intelligent kit sold separately…I’m not sure what the difference between the smart wire kit and intelligent kit is, or why they thought it was necessary to charge you for a different kit just to be able to use the features on the dashcam...

The video on the front dashcam can be recorded up to 4k, and the rear cam can record in 1080p. I will say I am not impressed with the video quality on the X4, the video quality looked like it was shot on a cheap camera. The video was very grainy with dull colors that looked watered down, and the video playback was very choppy, it would constantly skip frames.

Overall, I’m not impressed with the V1P Flex X4 dashcam. I like the features that the Flex X4 offers but I don’t like how you have to hardwire this to your car in order to enable some of them. I especially don’t like having to purchase an additional kit to be able to use motion detection. I’ve used many dash cams in the past, most (if not all) of these features are included in other dash cams, and they all worked while using the standard 12v cigarette outlet. Aside from that, the video quality looked bad, especially for being 4k. Sadly, I would not recommend this dash cam, I think there are better options out there.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Velox Mini Qi2 is a versatile dash & windshield phone holder that utilizes Qi2 technology for a powerful magnetic hold and fast wireless charge. Designed exclusively for Qi2-enabled devices including MagSafe compatible iPhones and cases, the Velox Mini Qi2 delivers up to 15W of power. Just tap your phone against the mount face and powerful magnets will hold it in place in perfect alignment. Securely install the Velox Mini Qi2 on your vehicle’s dashboard or windshield via a super strong, reusable suction cup base with sticky gel formula. A dashboard pad is included to protect you dash from any potential damage. The telescopic arm easily extends from 4” to 6.75” and pivots on a 260* arc to give you ultimate flexibility when installing the mount. A ball joint rotates and tilts so you can adjust the cradle for an ideal and safe viewing position in either portrait or landscape mode. A series of ventilation holes constructed around the mount help to dissipate heat and maintain airflow, while the anti-slip silicone finish offers added support and a gentle, scratch-free connection to your phone. Now it’s easier than ever to keep your phone powered up on the go!
 
Good wireless charging car mount.

The iOttie Velox Qi2 wireless car mount is a good option for Apple iPhones, but Max models beware…

The charger has some nice features that I really like, such as you have the option to mount the charger to either your windshield, or you can use the included disk that can mount to your dash. The charger also comes with a USB-C car adapter, in case you don’t have a USB-C plug in your car. The charger has a soft rubber coating around the magnetic connector, this helps to prevent scratches on your phone. I’m happy that they added this feature, as others I’ve used in the past will leave scratch marks on my phone. The arm on the charger has plenty of range and can lay at a 90-degree angle and has a 180-degree range.

The charger is fully compatible with Apple’s Magsafe charging, which means as soon as I connect my phone to the charger, a green charging ring lights up to display how much battery I have left and the charging status. The one problem I did have with the charger is if you’re using a iPhone 12 Pro Max, the magnet doesn’t hold it very well, especially if driving on a bumpy road. This can be easily fixed by attaching a small metal ring to your phone case, but sadly they didn’t include any in the box. Luckily, I had a few extra laying around, as soon as I attached it to my phone case, it worked great.

Overall, I think the iOttie Velox is a great wireless car mount for regular sized phones, I do recommend a metal ring for Max sized iPhones. The build quality is good, the adjustable range is great, and the option to mount on your windshield or dash is a plus. I would definitely recommend this charger.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is a beast. Not only does this laptop pack a powerful performance, but it looks amazing while doing it.

The laptop has a look and feel that screams, premium. The case is made of light silver aluminum case, with front LED custom effects on the lid, and a customizable backlit keyboard. The keyboard is extremely comfortable to type on, and the extra-large multi touch pad works great. The screen is a 16” 240hz OLED display that looks absolutely gorgeous. It offers vibrant and rich colors, deep blacks, and gets incredibly bright. The speakers have amazing quality surround sound, with deep bass and solid ambiance.

The ROG G16 has an impressive amount of storage and ram. The laptop comes with 2TB of SSD storage, which is a generous amount for holding a decent size library of games. It has a staggering 32GB of DDR5 ram, which is more than enough for most demanding games. There is also a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX Studio 8GB DDR6 graphics card. Needless to say, this laptop can handle any game currently on the market without skipping a beat.

The G16 has the new AMD Ryzen AI 9HX processor. With the new processor, you are now able to use all the new AI features that Windows has to offer, including the new Copilot. As far as the performance of the new processor is concerned, everything runs super-fast. Multitasking has been flawless, switching between apps has been a breeze and I never had an issue of it slowing down or stuttering. When it comes to gaming, this laptop is a true beast! I tested out an assortment of games from my Steam library, all with ultra settings and I was blown away. Playing MW3 with this level of detail was such a great experience, especially playing with a 240hz OLED display. I loaded up Returnal next and that looked and played incredible.

Overall, I am extremely happy with the ROG Zephyrus G16, this is now my main go to computer for both gaming and everything else. The 16” OLED display looks gorgeous and gets incredibly bright. With the 32gb or ram and the GeForce RTX 4070, gaming is incredible. The new Ryzen AI 9HX processor is very impressive and works great. This is an amazing laptop, and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a premium gaming laptop.

The Cobra SC220C is a great dash cam, but the companion app’s software can use some improvements.

The SC220C has plenty of features that make this a great quality dash cam. For starters, the unit has both a front camera and an interior camera built in. This is a great feature that offers added security, especial for Lift or Uber drivers. The interior camera is manually adjustable so you can position it to your liking, you also have the option to disable the camera if you choose. The unit includes a 16gb micro-SD card, which provides plenty of storage to capture your clips.

The dashcam has a companion app called Drive Smarter; this app lets you unlock your dashcam to it full potential. From the app, you can access your video clips, set recording lengths, get notifications from traffic alerts, and its all done wirelessly. The app even has its own built-in navigation map.

Installing the dash cam is very straight forward, the box comes with some tools to help pry open your interior for cable management. It also comes with some temporary sticky pads, so you can easily remove it when or if you need to. The Screen has a good resolution and offers a big enough view to be able to activate both the outer and interior view in the same window. When using the Drive Smarter app’s navigation, the screen displays your next turn with an onscreen arrow. As far as the navigation app goes, I don’t like to use it as it tends to be laggy at times. Plus, there is no Apple watch compatibility.

Overall, I really like the Cobra SC220C dashcam. The image quality of the video is crystal clear, and I love the option to push the side button to save and lock the current video. The Drive Smarter app has some nice features, but with lack of apple watch support and some lag from time to time, I would rather stick with apple maps. The additional interior camera is a great benefit especially if you drive for a side gig. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new dashcam.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is a nice laptop with some outstanding features, but the AI comes with some major issues.
The Laptop:
As far as the laptop itself goes, it does have a premium look and feel to it. The keyboard is extremely comfortable to type on and the keys are backlit. There is also a fingerprint reader that works flawlessly on the first try every time. There is a large multi-touch trackpad that can be finicky at times, but it gets the job done. The 14” QHD touchscreen looks beautiful, it’s filled with vibrant colors and gets incredibly bright. But what really impressed me the most are the speakers; these have to be some of the best sounding speakers I’ve ever heard in a laptop. They offer both incredible highs and mids, as well as deep bass that makes watching movies or listening to music a blast.
Performance:
The laptop has the new Snapdragon X Plus, this 10-core chip is what gives this laptop the power to run most of the new AI Copilot+ features. The computer runs fairly smooth for everyday tasks such as: browsing the web, watching videos, or typing documents… Although I had a few instances of the laptop stuttering really bad, or even freezing up completely requiring a hard reboot. Once I was able to restart the computer, it seemed to run fine. For the main part, its capable of running most tasks that are moderate to intense - fairly smooth.
AI:
The main star of this laptop is the new AI capabilities and the new AI companion named Copilot. Copilot doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but rather adds to an already existing idea and makes it do more. For example, you can type a question such as “what are the specs of the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus?” After getting the answer, you can keep the conversation going without having to ask it again, such as “what colors does it come in?” and its able to retain all the information previously talked about. I was very impressed with the ability to keep up a constant dialog with Copilot. Unfortunately, almost everything I asked it, it gave me a completely wrong answer. This poses a huge threat, especially if people, or even programs start to rely on Copilot for correct information.
Another AI feature is the ability to Cocreate with windows paint. With this turned on, you can type out what you want to draw, and as you draw and add strokes Cocreate will help you draw it out. Basically, it partially auto generates an image of what you described, as you try to draw it. The results are both interesting and frustrating.
Final Impressions:
When it comes to the laptop it has some really nice features, such as the keyboard, the beautiful QHD touchscreen, and some amazing sounding speakers. That’s not to say it doesn’t come with issues, like the random stuttering and even freezing up completely.
As far as the AI features are concerned, the new generation of AI computers are intriguing, namely Copilot with the ability to carry on dialog. The issue is that most of the information it gave me was completely wrong as it just gathers random articles from the web and not from credible sources. Unfortunately, there are still way too many issues that need to be worked out before this is ready to hit mainstream and become the standard.

The Swan MaxRanger4K Solar cam set is an excellent security system in many ways. It also manages to take away the biggest headache of buying a new camera system, running all the wires.
The set comes with 3 wireless cameras which have solar panels built on them, that automatically keep them charged in the sun, eliminating any need for power cords. The NVR which is a small box that acts as the main hub, and all the mounts and cables needed for installation. The NVR has an internal Micro SD card slot that can be used to store recording clips, you can also connect a USB drive for storage.
Setting up the security cameras are incredibly easy, especially since you no longer have to run any wires to the cameras, that alone takes away 90% of the troubles of setting up a security system. As soon as I turned them on, they automatically connected to the NVR. The detailed instruction manuals make it easy to set everything up by guiding you through the whole process. This includes installing the cameras, to setting up the NVR and the Swan mobile app.
The video quality of the cameras is astonishing. At a max resolution of 4K, the images are very sharp and crystal clear. This helps out tremendously when trying to see who or what is in the image. The motion sensing works great, and I really like how you can set a custom perimeter so they will only detect motion in that certain area. With the Swan mobile app, you are able to view each camera with a live view, turn on the spotlight manually, and even talk to someone with the 2-way mic.
The one thing I was worried about was the cameras being able to communicate wirelessly at a longer range, but to my surprise I had no issue at all. I placed the NVR on one side of the house, and the 3rd camera at the other end of the back yard. I am amazed at how it has never once dropped the signal, not only that but the strength is still at full bars on all of the cameras.
Overall, I love this cam set. Swan really knocked it out of the park with this one. Everything from the setup to the wireless cameras is amazing! This is a great quality product, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new security camera system.

The SANUS Elite Advanced Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Wall Mount for TVs 42"-90" presents the newest technology from Sanus to bring your TV viewing experience to new heights. With the 4D + SHIFT height adjustment feature, you can enjoy 4" up or 4" down of movement for precision TV positioning on the wall, making this mount an ideal solution for when mounting a TV above a fireplace mantle, above a TV console, or even when you have to position around a pre-existing outlet on the wall. This SHIFT feature also allows you to raise your TV at a later time to provide enough space to add in a soundbar or, accommodate seasonal decorations that may interfere with the screen of the TV. If your TV doesn’t happen to end up in the position you hoped it would be, or you accidentally mismeasure during installation, our SHIFT height adjustment feature allows for easy TV height readjustment, either up or down, ensuring that your TV is perfectly positioned where you want it. This height adjusting feature is easily performed with the simple twist of the handle that can be lowered down from behind the TV for easy access, and then placed back behind the TV to remain hidden until next desired use. The SHIFT handle can also assist with moving large TVs with ease. As large TVs may be too big to reach both sides, you can simply grip the SHIFT handle and use to assist with effortlessly moving the TV into the desired position. Designed to blend seamlessly with TVs and décor, the Advanced Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount was inspired by the sleek look of modern TVs and ultra-high-end kitchen appliances. Beneath the mount’s stylish exterior is an ultra-strong, solid steel frame that provides maximum support ensuring your TV will stay securely in place.

The Sanus 4D Shift wall mount is quality product on so many levels, but the most useful aspect is the shift.
I selected the 42”-90” wall mount for my 75” TV. First thing I should mention is the mount is big, so I wouldn’t go for anything under 45” or else you will see the mount behind the TV. Installing the mount is fairly simple, especially if you have prior experience. The best thing I like about this mount is the full motion and the shift, this makes installing the mount so much easier as you aren’t limited to a specific spot on the wall. Meaning, if you go off center then you can just move the TV to your desired spot. Plus, with the shift feature this allows you to move your TV straight up/down in case you want to add something in the future.
After the TV was installed, I am thrilled with how this mount looks. For being a full motion mount, I am impressed at how it’s able to maintain such a low profile. The motion works great! I am able to adjust my 75” TV by myself without any problems. And that includes extending it outward and pushing it back. The hinges on the mount are very versatile making the motion incredibly smooth. I also love how the TV stays in place at the position I put it in.
Overall, I love the Sanus full motion mount. My TV looks amazing on my wall, and I love the low profile. Having the shift ability makes it so much easier and stress free when installing, plus it gives you the ability to change your TV’s position in case you want to add something in the future. The motion is very smooth, yet it stays in place. This is by far the best TV mount I have ever had, and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to mount your TV.

The Journey Finder wallet is a decent MagSafe wallet, depending on what your needs are.
The wallet comes with a proprietary charging cable that and the MagSafe wallet. This is my first time using a “find my” device for Apple. There is a built-in siren that goes off when you try to locate it through the Find My app. The notification actually sounds loud and clear, enabling you to hear it from another room, or if it gets stuck in a couch etc.
The craftmanship of the wallet seems nice at first, but upon close inspection I noticed that that the seams can easily come apart. Only time will tell how long the stitching will last. The built-in magnet is very sturdy when properly attached to the iPhone, although if you have a case that isn’t MagSafe compatible the wallet will fall right off. In my case, I just ended up attaching a metal ring I had laying around from a previous car mount. Making my wallet say firmly attached to my iPhone case.
After using this for a few days, I noticed a few things about this wallet. First thing is comfort. When the wallet is attached, it’s not easy to hold my iPhone as it makes it too bulky. Luckily, I can just pull the wallet off when using it. Second, is convenience. Having to remove the wallet whenever I want to use my phone or place it in my car mount, makes it more of a hassle than convenience. Finally, while I do like being able to use the wallet as a phone stand, and the tracking feature is a huge bonus, I don’t like my credit cards being so exposed to slipping out of my wallet…I can definitely see this happening after the fabrics expands and wears, and that's something I don't want to risk. Unfortunately, I can't recommend using this for something that important.

The Crucial DDR5 32GB kit is adds a major boost of speed and performance in my laptop. Installing the Crucial DDR5 ram is very simple, it’s just a matter of removing the old ram and then plugging in the new ram. There is no need for any software to be installed, once you reboot your laptop, Windows will auto detect it and load the new ram.
My current gamming laptop has 16GB of DDR5 ram, and I wanted to boost it up to 32GB to get some better performance. Once I installed the Crucial 32GB DDR5 ram, I rebooted and was amazed at how much faster and smoother my system runs. It made a big noticeable difference, especially in load times. Multi-tasking received a big performance upgrade as well. I am able to switch between multiple programs without even a stutter. I tried out a few games on Steam and noticed a performance boost while gaming. The main things I noticed was performance being faster, my games weren’t as jittery as before. Load times seemed to be increased as well.
Overall, upgrading my laptop from 16GB to the 32GB of Crucial DDR5 ram was a huge success. Installing the ram is very easy, just plug and play...I was able to notice a big increase in system performance. Load times and multi-tasking were the biggest changes. I am extremely happy with my new ram, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade your system.

The Sony ECMS1 Wireless Mic is a great streaming microphone that also offers the flexibility of being wire free.
The Mic comes with a detachable pop guard, a wireless linking device also called the Multi Interface shoe (MI), and a detachable stand. Both the mic and the MI can be charged using a USB-C cable (not included). The base mic has a good build quality, and is solid and sturdy. The same can’t be said about the stand though. The mic attaches to the stand with a flimsy magnetic clip, and when attached the mic can be tilted back and forward. The problem is, the clips on at the bottom of the mic detaches way too easy, especially when trying to tilt it forward or back. Luckily the mic can be mounted to a swing arm.
CONNECTIVITY:
The Sony ECMS1 can be used with many devices wirelessly, as long as you have a USB-C input on your device. Otherwise, you will need to use a 3.5mm mini audio jack plugged into the MI. Unfortunately the actual MI shoe adapter part is only compatible with a couple of Sony’s camera’s. This wasn’t an issue for me, as I use my mic stationary and just connect the link to my PC using a USB-C cable, while using the mic wirelessly.
SOUND QUALITY:
This is where the ECMS1 really shines…The sound quality on this mic is outstanding. There are 3 positioned microphones housed inside base - all angled to pic up different sound positions. The mic has 3 different recording settings depending on how you want to pick up sound, omni, uni and stereo. These modes can easily be toggled with a switch located on the back of the mic. The mic also features 2 different noise suppressing modes, digital noise cut feature that removes background noise, and a low cut mode that removes wind, vibration etc. When I tried out the NC mode, it did work, but the mic still picked up background voices. I did notice a big difference while using the LC mode, the sound quality came in much clearer and more amplified - making my recordings sound professional.
CONCLUSION:
Overall, I am very pleased the the sound quality of the Sony wireless streaming mic. It really enhances the sound quality of my videos and voice overs. I would have liked to see Sony make the MI shoe adapter compatible with some of there older cameras instead of having to use a 3.5mm mini jack with my camera, but at least they give you the option to use an alternative. That being said, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to buy a streaming mic.
PROS:
Great sound quality
Wireless
Swing arm mountable
Multiple recording options
CONS:
Stand comes off too easy
Lack of compatibility with the MI
No cables included

Your answer to a previous question said the camera opening is only for one lens. Since this is the new model for the 2020 iPad Pro, why wouldn't it have an opening for all of them? How is this new keyboard model different than last years that on clearance

This does have an opening for the newer iPad Pro’s. It’s a big square for the newly added lenses.
