Bulky but quiet
on March 7, 2021
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
This device is massive!! I suppose maybe it takes a device of great size to properly move enough air to clean multiple rooms worth of air, but the size makes it a real problem finding a place to put it without it looking like a giant white eyesore.
there's a blueair app you can download to control the device. but its pretty basic. you can put it on a schedule and that's about it. it shows you the outdoor air quality which is about useless. in order to get indoor air quality or automation in the device you have to purchase an addon device that is not cheap. and this particular model doesn't work with google home, but it does with amazon alexa.
it's one major saving grace is that it is whisper quiet on level 1 (to the point that you can barely tell it's running). there are 3 total levels. level 3 sounds like a jet engine, level 2 is reasonable, but still enough of a noise that you wouldn't want it in your tv rooom, and level 1 makes no sound at all.
i can't really tell if it's having much of an effect. my spouse has asthma and breathing issues all the time. she's not mentioned any noticeable difference in the couple weeks we've had it. and i've not noticed any trapped particles or dust in the filters. i've been running it on level 3 from 2a-5a everyday, and then on level 1 all day long the rest of the day.
this company makes far smaller units with newer features like google home support, and that come with a more aesthetically pleasing look. i would probably consider one of those prior to getting one of these. as far as efficacy goes...i can't really speak to it at this time. i'm seeing no evidence that it is helping with dust and allergy symptoms.

A great portable gaming PC
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
Just...WOW! That display is absolutely beautiful!! This laptop is lightweight, well made, and reasonably powerful for a PC that isn't designated as a gaming laptop.
While the 1650TI is a little dated as far as GPUs go, it does an excellent job of providing raw power when combined with the 11th Gen i7 Intel CPU and 16GB of RAM. We're seeing framerates in the 100s for games like Fortnite.
The OLED display is just gorgeous!! And the resolution is quite something. It's unusual to find a display this good at this price point. And to top it all off...it's a touch screen.
Things I feel are missing...A mini-DP port for external monitor. IT has HDMI, but DP is the way to go these days. And I think they could have afforded to stick in at least 1 more, maybe 2, USB-A slots on the rear of the chassis. It comes with 1 USB-A, and 2 USB-C w/thunderbolt 4.
It did come loaded with some bloatware, but that was easy enough to uninstall. One thing I really have to give Asus credit for this time around though is there system mgmt software. It's definitely an improved experience and does a good job of providing an AIO solution for software/driver updates and adjusting settings like power, display, and audio.
All in all I'm quite pleased with this device at this price point and would highly recommend it for someone who's looking to do some graphic design, general PC work, and light-mid range AAA gaming.

OK outdoor plug w/smart features
on December 6, 2020
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
I've not been overly pleased with the WeMo suite of products to date. If you get them setup and working they aren't too bad, but getting them setup is quite a challenge at times.
First, it's a very well constructed outdoor plug with a dual plug connection. Heavy gauge wiring and insulation.
The WeMo software though is a bit troublesome in a few ways. I already have a WeMo dimmer in my office and it's been working well for about 2 years. I've got my WeMo account integrated into my Google Home so I can voice control it. I do recall it taking a little time the first time getting the dimmer up. But once I got it it's been fine ever since.
Fast Fwd to this plug. I went into the app and set it up and believed I had it set, but then had to wipe it and start over a few times. In total I believe I had to go through the setup about 3 times before I got it working correctly on the network so I could turn it on/off using the app.
Now to integrate it into Google Home. I setup a new zone outside and gave it a name and tried to add it, but it wasn't available for some reason. WeMo was only reporting the original dimmer. I had to completely remove the WeMo integration in Google Home to "refresh" the list so that Home would see the new light/zone.
Once it was in the Home system I was able to control it with verbal commands through Google Home. So that was a Win!
Since it's plugged into xmas lights I tried to go back into the WeMo software and set a rule to turn them off at 1am and on at 5pm. What I've found is that it never turns them off at night. But it does seem to be turning them on no problem.
And now here a few days after getting everything working fine, It's no longer showing up in Google Home again. Seems to me that WeMo has some bugs to work out with their automation capabilities.
Otherwise it's a decent plug.

The ROCCAT® Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Gaming Mouse was aggressively benchmarked against market-leading symmetrically shaped mice. We wanted a design and shape that instantly felt better from the very first touch. Our aim was to have a shape that made it feel like you had nothing in your hand both in terms of a neutral shape and low weight. We wanted to do this without putting holes in the surface to cut down on mass as many competitors have done. We call it extreme lightweight engineering, and with a weight of only 68g we think the name checks out. The pride and glory of the Burst Pro is the Titan Switch Optical. The first generation of ROCCAT mice to feature the technology, the Titan Switch Optical brings game-changing benefits. Tuned for speed and durability, gamers get a familiar click feel – no learning curve – that functions at the speed of light, and with no more double-click issues. The ROCCAT® Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Pro Gaming Mouse features a striking translucent honeycomb shell that gives a smoky, hazy showcase to the AIMO lighting engine while protecting against dirt and dust. Weighing only 68g, the shell also keeps weight to an absolute minimum. As well as the Titan Switch Optical, the Burst Pro features a PhantomFlexTM cable that virtually disappears, for a near-wireless experience, and a 16K dpi Owl-Eye optical sensor. In yet another industry first, the Burst Pro features heat-treated glides that are a step above PTFE mouse feet. They are pre-tuned for incredibly smooth glide right out of the box.

Great Mouse, Great Price
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
In a landscape where most high quality gaming mice are tipping the scales around $100+, this mouse comes in just above half that. It's lightweight, feels good in the hand, glides smoothly, and has great responsiveness.
This one has built in RGB and actually looks kinda cool all lit up. It's simple, effective, and has a great design. I would highly recommend if you're looking to get into PC gaming and in the market for a new mouse.

Nice Vacuum w/lots of accessories
on October 31, 2020
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
It's a very nice vacuum with a lot of attachments for helping you get various jobs done. It's reasonably lightweight and charges quickly. I was able to get through the whole house with a single charge. The charging station allows for an extra battery to be charging at the same time as the one attached to the vac.
The suction is real good, and it tends to adjust as you move across rugs that are thicker so that it glides easier. One added bonus was the pre-filter suction tool. I've not seen one of these with a vacuum like this before, but it makes sense it should exist. It's a small tube that allows you to clean the filter, with suction, for reuse.
I've had Dyson stick vacs like this, and this performed just as good as those. I don't really understand the need for the wifi feature. Unless it's a robot vac that's going to move about the house cleaning on a schedule, I see no need for wifi.
I would recommend this to others.

The ROCCAT Vulcan TKL is a tenkeyless variant of the award-winning Vulcan family. This smaller form factor means gamers have room for a larger pad and can use a bigger range of a mouse movements, ultimately giving them greater accuracy. The linear Titan Switch Mechanical delivers the industry’s best in speed and responsiveness. The switch adds to a comprehensive feature set that gamers know and love. The low-profile design is engineered for comfort and to reduce fatigue. Impressive durability and build quality thanks to its reinforcing black anodized aluminum top plate, switches rated to 100 million keystrokes, dedicated mixer-style audio controls and per-key AIMO RGB lighting.

Compact rgb keyboard

Posted by: GrizzlyD

A solidly built gaming keyboard with great switches. The keys feel great and aren't too noisy. It's a compact design missing the number keypad. Not recommended if you're an accountant, but perfect for you average gamer. Comes with rgb lighting capability as well. Feels solid as if it would last a while.

Stellar sound & Comfortable fit
on October 19, 2020
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
These headphones have a great sound and a very comfortable fit. Super easy to setup...just plug in the usb dongle and you're off.
I tinkered with the EQ settings, which were a bit confusing because nothing really tells you what the various beeps mean. But all in all they have a great sound regardless of the setting. The bass is good and the depth of sound even better. I used the dolby atmos plugin and got some really good audio in Overwatch.
The mic is nice how the boom up or down controls the mute. So just pull the boom down and the mic activates.
Overall I would highly recommend these. They aren't too expensive, they fit great, and they sound great too!

Nice design, audio falls short
on October 9, 2020
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
The lenovo smart clock has a Big, bright and has easy-to-read LED display that allows you to choose between 3 levels of brightness. As with any Google Home compatible device, you can use voice control to set alarms, timers and reminders, get translations, just by starting with “Hey Google”. You can cast music, audiobooks, radio and podcasts from your phone or play it directly using the Google Home compatible apps. One unique feature of this device is that you can charge a smart watch or a phone on the included USB-port.
It has a stylish design with a mesh fabric chassis and huge vibrant display. My only real complaint is that due to its diminutive size there is very little depth to the audio quality on this device. So listening to music is not the greatest on it.
Overall, it's a pretty good alarm clock and brings with it a plethora of features and functionality thanks to the Google home ecosystem. I would recommend for the bedside.

Great way to convert phone to Xbox Controller!
on September 28, 2020
Posted by: GrizzlyD
from Clayton, NC
With game streaming becoming more and more popular and Microsoft about to launch Project X Cloud, the need for a way to turn your mobile device into a game controller is growing stronger. Enter the Razer Kishi.
This device is basically a set of controls for your phone. It cradles the phone and gives you xbox controller like controls directly on your mobile device.
I spent some time testing it both on Project X Cloud and in-home streaming direct from my console. It worked flawlessly!! I cradled a Google Pixel 4 into the device and it fit like a glove.
Biggest complaint is the lack of charging capability. If this device were to act like a mobile charger it would be HUGE, and make it well worth the retail price. However, it only currently offer pass-through charging. So you'll still need a cord if you're running low on juice.
Also, it folds up into a small enough package for transport. Nothing tiny, but small enough to fit into most bag pockets.
The responsiveness of the controls was good, and the controller behaved really no differently than a typically game controller would. I would highly recommend this to people who are considering doing mobile gaming and game streaming!

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.
