Microsoft - Surface Laptop Go - 12.4" Touch-Screen - Intel 10th Generation Core i5 - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC
Make the most of every day with the sleek style, performance, and all-day battery life² you need in the lightest Surface Laptop, all at an exceptional value. Ultra-light and portable profile, the apps* you use every day, premium materials, and a choice of must-have colors will make this your go-to laptop. ²Up to 13 hours of battery life based on typical Surface device usage. Testing conducted by Microsoft in September 2020 using preproduction software and preproduction configurations of Surface Laptop Go Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. The active use portion consists of (1) a web browsing test accessing 8 popular websites over multiple open tabs, (2) a productivity test utilizing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, and (3) a portion of time with the device in use with idle applications. All settings were default except screen brightness was set to 150nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage and other factors.
 
Great value for a compact laptop!

Great little laptop if you’re OK with the windows OS. It’s very small, lightweight with a great screen and keyboard. The price is also really good and my 10 year old daughter absolutely loves it. It’s nowhere near as durable as an Apple product but it’s also nowhere near as expensive. The case shows pretty significant wear after about a year of ownership, but everything is functioning perfectly With no hardware or software issues to be found. It feels like a quality product with may be the exception of the outer shell which shows damage pretty easily. The keyboard and screen are great and like I said everything is functioning properly.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are the most excellent earbuds that money can buy-period. I tried the Bose equivalent latest version and while they sounded OK and had good noise cancellation, the AirPods are better in every way. They do a neat trick when you turn your head the sound is coming from the opposite direction that you turn to also, the noise canceling is really good and The operation of the AirPods and the different functions are very easy to get used to. They somehow imitate surround sound when I’m listening to my Apple TV through these earbuds, the battery lasts a long time, they have great distance, and they fit in my ear perfectly. Bonus that they have a smaller earpiece included now , which makes it fit in just about anyone’s ear

This little video camera has been around for YEARS and while it doesn’t have latest and greatest specs, it makes very clear and sharp video recordings and has awesome stabilization. To get anything significantly better would cost hundreds. This is a great casual use camera with great zoom, close focusing and clear picture. I guess that’s why it’s been around for so long. That’s very unusual with consumer electronics but if something is this good, it’s worth it.

Mint Mobile is the easy way to save a ton on wireless. Get unlimited talk and text plus 5G · 4G LTE data on the T-Mobile Network, and you can even bring your own phone. Genius, right? And did you know, once your 3-month plan ends, you can choose to renew with a 3-, 6- or 12-month plan… the more you buy, the more you save. You'll get the same intro plan savings by renewing for 12 months.

Best Soundbar that money can buy. Grab one of these before they sell out since they’ve been replaced by the 990c. The new one costs $500 more and is identical in terms of hardware, styling, power etc. the new 990c has an improved Spacefit sound function that may well be added to the 990b through a firmware update. The sound is incredible and comes at you from all angles including the ceiling thanks to the the up-firing satellite speakers. Remember you need a good source to really enjoy the incredible sound like a Dolby atmos movie. Of all movies, “True Lies” was slinging harrier jets and helicopter sounds all over my room like mad! Star Wars movies are also great. The nightly news not so much although the voices sound really clear and pleasant. I had no problems setting it up but I’ve heard stories. Music sounds incredible also. I use an Apple TV 4K and upgraded Apple Music with lossless audio files that sounds crystal clear. Extremely happy.

Nice and bright, colorful and easy to set up. Be SURE to check each bulb to ensure that the dome is screwed on tight otherwise the might let water in when it rains. Once you do that they are pretty reliable. Works great with the app or Alexa.

I wish someone at Best Buy would’ve told me that this watch won’t connect to the iPhone. I talked with Samsung tech support for an hour before they finally figured it out. The most recent Samsung watch that will connect to the iPhone is the 3. Besides that the watch band is TRASH. It is very easily damaged (within and hour of unpacking) and the watch slipped off of my wrist.

Bought two and returned both. This computer has issues with Bluetooth and WiFi. The WiFi issue is not a flaw but stems from its use of 2011 era WiFi technology. Also the Ethernet is old tech as well. The Bluetooth issue was pretty bad even with the apple keyboard and mouse. I had the same problem with a Logitech mouse designed for use with Apple. I had several calls with apple tech support who had me upgrade to Big Sur 11.2 beta. It seemed to resolve the Bluetooth issue initially but the problem came back albeit a lot less severe than it was before the upgrade. It was pretty useable after the upgrade. The M1 chip is amazing in terms of processing videos and photos. It’s by far the fastest apple computer I’ve ever owned. It’s notably faster than my $3000 2017 MacBook Pro 15 inch. The Mini impresses also because it doesn’t heat up when performing heavy video or photographic tasks. The fan speed rarely ever increases to cool it down and the Mini speeds through these tasks pretty easily. The SSD is incredibly fast also. Much faster than external Samsung’s for example. It’s a shame that such a good processor is limited by these issues.

This new Apple Silicon Mac Mini M1 is a GAME-CHANGER. Apple redefined how computers work by integrating the CPU, GPU, Neural engine and system memory all onto one low power, low heat board. As a result, you can’t upgrade the RAM, but you have a computer that is so different than anything that came before it that you have to look at this completely differently than any other computer. For example, this is an 8gb (memory) machine that runs circles around my 2017 i7 MacBook Pro 15” with 16gb of system memory. I edit and render video without the computer heating up-at all! I’ve never seen anything like it. My two previous MacBooks would both be very hot with the fan at full blast when I render video or do lots of photo editing. I’ve yet to hear the fan or feel any heat coming from this computer even with very graphics intensive tasks being executed. I’ve seen several reviews that find no performance difference between the 8 and 16gb models. I bought the 8gb model thinking that I’ll replace it with the 16gb if the 8gb comes up short, but I see no reason whatsoever to do that. Like I said, I use lots of video and photo editing which historically causes computers to move slowly and heat up. This mini carries out these very tough tasks without heating up or increased fan noise and does so quicker than my $2700 MacBook Pro, newish iMac. Based on the reviews I saw on YT, I’m not sure what would make the 16gb model any more useful than the 8gb. They had identical performance despite the big difference in their system memory. Like I said, this is a game-changer.

I recently purchased a Blue Yeti microphone and a Logitech C920s webcam. Can I plug these devices into this hub for live streaming and Zoom meetings?

I don't see why not.You'll have to select which mic to use since the webcam also has a mic built in.
