Great Photo Editing Solution

Elements is a great solution for those non-experts who are looking to make expert level edits to their photos. It offers some really advanced options in an easy to use format. For those that find themselves overwhelmed by the user interface and options in Photoshop, consider looking at Elements.

Great Entry Level Projector
on November 25, 2017
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC, USA
This is a very capable entry level projector. It offers a bright high resolution (1080p) image on the cheap. While there's no 3d, advanced keystone features, or 24p it still offers a solid image at a good starting price. I would recommend this for anyone looking to dip their toe in the home theater waters. Untested: but they claim the bulb last 4k+ hrs...this is a huge plus!! Bulbs can be an unplanned expense in the HT world. Lastly, for those who keep knocking the projector on it's sound quality need to reevaluate their expectations. No tiny speaker in a project is going to be worth a darn.

Arlo Pro 2 is pretty awesome!

Netgear knocks it out of the park again!! I can't say enough good things about Netgear products. These camera are crazy simple to setup. From box opening to recording footage it's a mere 5 mins.
The hardest part is finding where you want to put it. Their size and rechargeable batteries make it incredibly flexible in placement options.
The hardest part is finding where you want to put it. Their size and rechargeable batteries make it incredibly flexible in placement options.
The video quality is really quite good! The audio quality was just as impressive. I'm using it to monitor activity in the business I own and it enables you to zoom in and pan around. You can pick up conversations in the room even with other noises around.
I'd love to be able to place it outside my business so I can use it as a safety cam for people coming/going after dark. My only concern is with the warnings about placing them in conditions under 32 degrees. It can get cold and ice over here. So I don't think my camera would last long outside.
I can't speak to the battery life of a camera on a full charge, but statements online are saying between 3-6 mos under normal usage. I haven't had it long enough to speak to that. I do hope it lasts a while. Even more important would be the speed of recharging. I wouldn't want to have to sit around waiting on them to charge for very long.
It really seems like a very solid product. I would highly recommend them if you need a indoor/outdoor wireless security camera. FYI, the siren is crazy loud! :)

It slices, it dices, it juliennes...What can you say about this Ninja Food Processor. It's makes chopping things up a breeze. I don't recommend using it on your cell phone, but it works great on veggies! I've had nothing but good things to say about these Ninja products. If you're looking for a food processor...look no further.

Think Google Home, but with a bigger sound
on October 29, 2017
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC, USA
If you're in the market for a Google Home, you might want to pause and take a look at this speaker. This speaker by Sony offers the Google Assistant built-in. What's more, the speaker also allows you to pair up to other bluetooth devices in the home to get your boogie on however you like. In comparing both a full size Amazon Echo, Google Home and this speaker, I find that this speaker has a brighter and louder sound. Unfortunately it lacks the kind of punch i'd love to hear out of a speaker due to its small woofers. But when comparing apples and apples, this speaker seems to do a pretty solid job of delivering a big enough sound to fill a small to mid-sized room. My biggest complaint with it really centers around the gesture controls. I found it to be rather cumbersome to turn the volume up/down or to pause it. The one thing the Google Home crushes this on is having touch sensitive controls. All in all, I'd give this a recommend to anyone in search of a smart speaker.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro hybrid electric trimmer and shaver, QP6520/70 (14 length comb)

Not too close
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC, USA
A fun little clipper. This trimmer does an ok job of cutting. The battery life is super long. It mentions it can be used to cut your stubble like a razor, but it definitely isn't meant to shave close. The size is just about right to do good edging and trim necklines. I would recommend it for the quick cuts. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a close shave.

A pretty average desktop computer
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC, USA
I'm not much for pre-built PC's. I tend to buy my own parts and build my own machines. However, I recently acquired this PC for the purposes of just using it as a general use machine for browsing, email, photo editing.
First, the case is very lightweight. The build quality is terribly average. There's no unique look/feel to it. It's made of really thin metal and nothing about it stands out.
It comes shipped with a wired mouse and keyboard. These didn't even make it out of their box. Why?! Why ship a computer with a wired mouse/kb? It's just a waste of plastic and copper at this point. In this day and age people are typically using higher end peripherals.
Performance...well I'd say this machine operates pretty standard. I expected a little more oomph out of it considering it was brand new. Boot times of Windows 10 are pretty standard for a spindle drive. The display performance quality is decent. I can't speak to its gaming capability as I didn't bother trying...I don't know why you ever would. It only has 1GB of video memory. If you're into online gambling or facebook style games I'm sure it will perform great.
Also, I've experienced some hitching and freezing while browsing. I'm not sure of the cause, but I'm guessing it's a software problem. It simply shouldn't be this way out of the box. Sadly it is. If I had more time to troubleshoot it I would.
I have to give Lenovo some credit. Their Lenovo companion is pretty nice. It cuts down on the bloatware and offers a platform for keeping system drivers up to date with minimal effort on the part of the end user. I'm loving the fact that this machine didn't come pre-loaded with some garbage AV software. Defender is good enough, and it's free. Spending extra for AV is a waste. Just stay off the torrent, gambling, and adult sites and you'll be fine.
I'd not recommend this device to friends. Reason is that most people are in need of a tablet or laptop this day and age. Mobility is much more important than in times past. You can get a quality mobile device for a fraction of the cost of a desktop in some cases. If I were exclusively in the market for a desktop I suppose I would consider it.

Excellent wire-free headphones!!
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC, USA
Wow! I really didn't expect a fully wireless headphone to have a loud bassy response. Let alone stay in my ear despite vigorous activity. These little guys may be small, but they pack a big loud sound and are quite comfortable to wear. I have little fear of them falling out of place. The travel case they come with is a handy little portable charger as well. They come with a pretty steep price tag, but I would give them a recommend if you're looking for a good set of headphones and you still want some mobility while jamming out.

Fun little gadget for smartphone VR/AR

This is a cool little exploration toy for kids. Works with or without goggles and provides an augmented reality experience that has a lot of potential applications for learning. I'm looking forward to seeing how many other apps come that allow places like museums or schools to utilize this as a learning toy.

Fun entry into VR for everyone
on October 3, 2017
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC, USA
The nice thing about these goggles is that they work with just about any device. Many of the goggles to come before it required flagship phones sold at premium price points. This pretty well eliminated most users. Since this set of goggles works with just about any phone it opens up an opportunity for everyone to give VR a try on even budget phones.

How loud is it? Can I take this into a professional meeting and not be embarrassed by how loud the fan is?
It's a gaming laptop with crappy battery life...It's also rather large...I wouldn't expect to walk into meetings with it. Get an ultrabook for that purpose.
