Battery portable LP player
on December 15, 2021

I got this on a whim. What attracted me is that this has rechargeable batteries and speakers.
In concept is very interesting:
- It works either plugged in or with rechargeable batteries (About 8 hours per charge).
- It has its own speaker, which sounds good for what it is.
- It has RCA line output as well as 3.5mm headphones out (on the back).
- It can stream Bluetooth to another portable speaker.
- It can also play Bluetooth from a phone (it has both transmitter and receiver modes).

My first impression is that I expected more quality for the price.
First, it's all black plastic, and although the finish is good, it feels more like a toy.
As for the vinyl player itself: First, the arm feels tiny, with a thin chromed arm that it seems it's the only visible piece that is not plastic. The counterweight is also a chunk of plastic.
But then it works well: The player has good solid feet that provide some insulation from ambient vibrations. The spinning table is itself spring-mounted.
The controls are basic at best, and it's 'fully manual', except for the switch that toggles auto start and stop, where it starts spinning at the right angle and stops spinning when it reaches the center of the LP, but that's the extend of it, it doesn't bring the arm back to its resting position. It does have a lever to lift it and the arm lowers softly, so there is no danger of scratches if used correctly.
The stylus is made by Audio-Technica, which is a company that indeed produces some very high quality audio equipment, so sound reproduction is actually very good for what this is.

The first LP I played with this (From Simon & Garfunkel) is an old press, likely from the 80s that did not age well and I didn't previously notice it's noticeably warped.
Because this is a compact player, the spinning table is the size of a 45 RPM single, so this can be specially bad for these type of LPs that didn't age well, and made in the 80s where some LPs were pressed paper thin.
To my pleasant surprise, this played the warped LP as well as anything else. The stylus did not jump once and it handled it very well, so for what it's worth, it's well balanced.
Also I was pleasantly surprised that it can handle 78 RPM from a century ago as well and 45 RPM and 33 RPM.

The unit itself is relatively light and comes with both a guitar-type removable strap and a handle.
The cover can be removed and when separate, can be used to hold up to five LPs.
On the bottom of the player there is a small opening to store the power supply.

Overall it's fun and well designed, But I just wish it used better materials at this price.
I've seen Bluetooth turntables, turntables with integrated speakers but nothing else that can also be used with built-in rechargeable batteries, and also as a Bluetooth speaker.
It's convenient that I can just move it from room to room without cables.

Keep enjoying your favorite sound equipment without an expensive component update. SOUNDFORM CONNECT Audio Adapter with AirPlay 2 turns your stereo into an AirPlay 2-enabled speaker to stream the music that you love from iOS and Mac devices. Our adapter is equipped with optical and 3.5mm output that brings signal from your devices to any speaker or receiver with an audio input.

Works as advertised.
It supports audio out to either 3.5mm line-in (On the receiver/Speaker) or optical TOSLink.
It supports audio out to either 3.5mm line-in (On the receiver/Speaker) or optical TOSLink.
Although this is intended to be used mostly to bridge an audio receiver to AirPlay2, it works perfectly to retrofit an USB speaker.
I have a nice Bluetooth speaker that also has an USB charge port and 3.5mm input, so this worked out of the box.
The phone sees it as a HomeKit enabled AirPlay2 device and works as expected.

The phone sees it as a HomeKit enabled AirPlay2 device and works as expected.
There is an app that works for additional settings, but only after it has been paired using HomeKit.
This is a HomeKit product and for initial setup, needs an iPhone that supports HomeKit and Airplay2.
The initial setup process is through HomeKit as follows:
Once it's plugged in, with an iPhone unlocked, tap the top back of the phone against the 'tag' section on the back of the adapter. The phone then discovers the adapter and after a few seconds it should configure the adapter's Wi-Fi, and prompt to rename it and assign it to a house and room. That's it. Then it can be managed via the HomeKit app and works like any other AirPlay2 speaker.

Not that however, it was not seamless to me. I had to try several times: The phone would fist discover it right away but time out when configuring it. Eventually after several retries it worked.
The 'Belkin SoundForm' app also works for other HomeKit speakers from Belkin, and with this adapter it can upgrade the firmware (Not needed in my case), rename it, or manually adjust audio delay (By default it's automatic. The adapter has a tiny mic on front to auto-adjust). It doesn't rely on this app to work.
It's nice that being AirPlay2, I can group it with other speakers through the house and use it with the Apple TVs as well.
It's powered by an USB-C connection. It comes with an USB-A to USB-C cable and a charger adapter that plugs into the wall outlet. It does not come with audio cables.
Overall it works very well, except for the initial setup that was meant to be very simple but took several retries.
I plan to eventually re-wire an old receiver and use this there instead of the portable speaker I'm using with now.

Got this mouse as a set with the Logi Pop keyboard for one of my kids, who's been very appreciative of this combo.
In itself is a good mouse. It has a balanced weight (heavier on the back where the palm rests), and it cradles well within the hand.
It slides well, with good reading on dark surfaces.
One of the first things I noticed is how quiet the buttons click. It has a good tactile feedback while being quiet.
The scroll wheel is fluid bot not free-flowing. The Logitech Flow software that's used with this provides for adaptive scrolling (i.e. goes from precise scroll to fast flow based on the use).

The scroll wheel is fluid bot not free-flowing. The Logitech Flow software that's used with this provides for adaptive scrolling (i.e. goes from precise scroll to fast flow based on the use).
Besides the left, right click and center click on the scroll wheel, it has another button when configured via Flow (software) that brings up an emoji picker. However this button can also be configured to do completely different things from within the software.
Besides this, is a professional grade mouse that can simultaneously connect to three computers and seamlessly go from one computer to another when two or three computers are using the Flow software. Logi has been working on this software for years and I first saw this on their high-end professional keyboard/mouse lines. It works very well.
Also supports Logitech's newest USB adapter 'Bolt' that uses newer and more secure encrypted Bluetooth connections with improved range. It is however not compatible with their older 'Unifying' receivers. This is completely optional and also works well with Bluetooth, version 5.1
The battery is a single AA, that Logitech claims it lasts for up to two years. It's accessible removing the top of the mouse which is held by magnets (So it's very simple).
It works with the Flow software with both Windows and macOS (simultaneously) and can also pair with a phone or tablet (iOS or Android) with a pairing/switch on the bottom of the mouse.
Overall is a good mouse, particularly when combined with the Pop keyboard.

I have a thing for keyboards, and in particular mechanical keyboards, but is going to one of my kids, who's also happy about this.
First, it has personality. Just look at this.
Opening the package is also an experience: There is no plastic packaging. Instead when opening the bock, the keyboard is neatly wrapped in paper (with subtle emoji themes of course). Then one of the first things I noticed is the very shiny Escape key, which is a nice touch.
Then it's an 'emoji' keyboard…. So yeah, and it's useful in other ways: The rightmost column has four keys with different emojis, and a 5th key which bring an emoji menu. The keyboard comes with additional emoji keycaps to configure to your heart's desire. In reality, the Logitech Flow program that's recommended with this keyboard lets one reconfigure these keys for macros or a bunch of other functions, like desktop or editing gestures.

But past it looks, it gets more interesting:
- This is a true mechanical keyboard, using the Romer-G Brown switches also found in gaming keyboards, with good amount of travel, a muted click and tactile feedback.
- The keyboard itself is weighted, so although it's a compact keyboard, it has enough weight to stay firmly put, which intentionally reminds of a typewriter.
- It supports Logitech flow, which allows certain keyboards and mouse to be paired to up to three different computers and seamlessly switches between them (I.e. a PC and a Mac of combination of these).
- It works with Logitech's brand new 'Bolt' receiver (And like all new Logitech devices, not with the older 'Unifying' receiver).

- It works with Logitech's brand new 'Bolt' receiver (And like all new Logitech devices, not with the older 'Unifying' receiver).
The keyboard uses two AAA batteries, that as per Logitech, it lasts up to three years.
'Flow' is the software that should be installed in either PC or Mac to fully use this keyboard. It lets one configure different settings, and keys or macros either globally or per (certain) applications. It also shows battery level and companion devices (mouse, etc). It also enables the Flow functionality that comes in very handy when using multiple computers (PC and/or macOS) with the same keyboard and Logitech mouse. It can also optionally copy/paste or even drag files between computers (The software uses the local network for this, via encrypted ports). I've used this for a number of years on commercial-grade keyboards from Logitech and I recommend it. It's also frequently kept up to date.
'Bolt' is an USB-A receiver that connects with newer Logitech keyboards and mouse and replaces their previous, ubiquitous 'Unifying' controller, and keep in mind that it's not backwards compatible (or one would have to keep both receivers). This new system appears to be more secure, using better Bluetooth encryption and provides for a more reliable connection. This adapter is not necessary when using Bluetooth, but this way the computer treats it as a wired keyboard so it works during startup (Particularly, macOS is picky with 3rd-party wireless keyboards when fist booting while File vault volumes remain encrypted). Using the adapter makes a much more reliable connection than direct Bluetooth connection.
Bluetooth (The keyboard supports Bluetooth 5.1) can also be used with a phone or tablet (Android or iOS).

If I have to nitpick, the keyboard comes with multi-os keycaps (Opt | Start and Cmd | Alt keys). If would've been nice if it also came with OS-specific keycaps as well.
Overall I really like typing on this keyboard. It feels very natural and comfortable.
BTW: Using this with the matching Pop mouse that also works with the same Bolt transceiver and Flow software.

Rewire the rules with the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma—a sleek, customizable hub that ushers in a new era of connectivity for your ideal setup. Packed with 10 ports, lightning-fast data transfer rates, and dual 4K or single 8K video output, you’ll always be primed to make the right connections.

This is one of the first Thunderbolt4 / USB4 docks.
It’s solidly built inside and out, and it works with anything that supports Thunderbolt or USB-C.
There can be limitations but those are on the computer it connects with.

There can be limitations but those are on the computer it connects with.
There is a different Verizon of this same dock, ‘Mercury’ color, or silver. It’s the same without the lights on the base. Consider this version when non-windows computers.
At the house we use several computers. To some extent, the dock worked with every single one, with some limitations:
- Chromebook with Thunderbolt 4 ports and Intel Iris Xe video: Everything works, connected two DisplayPort 1080p older monitors with DP to USB-C cables. The light bar cannot be controlled from ChromeOS so it light ups with a slowly rotating color effect. There might be a way of controlling the lights from the Linux subsystem on Chromebooks but didn’t try it.
- macOS: An older MacBook with Intel graphics from 2017 worked perfectly, except for controlling the lights. There are no drivers needed. I was able to drive two external monitors. Gigabit ethernet and card reader are recognized. The 3.5mm audio connector works and it’s very clever on this dock: It presents itself as USB audio only when connecting earbuds to it. Unplug the cable and the audio device disappears. This is makes it much more convenient.
- Current Intel 11th gen. with Nvidia RTX, Windows 11: Upon plugging the dock, Windows automatically runs the Razer installer which prompts to download and install the drivers for the lights: Razer Synapse: Windows would recognize but not drive the DisplayPort monitors but it worked perfectly with a native USB-C monitor connected through the dock. This appears to be a limitation on the laptop as these monitors also did not work when plugged directly into the laptop with an USB-C to DP cable.
- Another Windows 11 laptop but with USB-C (Which supports Video but not Thunderbolt). It could drive the USB-C monitor through the dock and everything worked, including the lights on the dock.
- Older Windows 10 PC with USB-C (No video): All worked except video, as expected.

Gigabit ethernet and card reader are recognized. The 3.5mm audio connector works and it’s very clever on this dock: It presents itself as USB audio only when connecting earbuds to it.

- Older Windows 10 PC with USB-C (No video): All worked except video, as expected.
So the dock is able to seamlessly switch between Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C mode depending what’s connected to it. It’s able to route video to all three Thunderbolt 4 ports if the host PC supports it. The light bar on the base comes with the black version but not present on the silver (Mercury) color, and Razer only supports it on Windows.
Construction is excellent with precisely crafted aluminum enclosure
Ports on Front:
- Thunderbolt4/USB4 to host.
- 3.5mm audio (Only active when cable I plugged).
- UHS-II SD Reader
Ports on rear:
- 3x Thunderbolt4/USB-C ports with DP mode (Video out) (40 Gbps ports).
- 3x USB-A 3.2 (20 Gpbs ports).
- Ethernet Gigabit
- Power port: Barrel connector.

Lights:
The light show up as an USB device. Official drivers exist for Windows only. I tried an unofficial Razer driver on macOS and didn’t work (At least not yet).
On Windows, the driver can coordinate all other Razer devices that come with programable lights and also works with smart lights like Hue, LIFX, Twinkly, etc.

Nitpicks:
Ethernet is Gigabit. I was expecting 2.5G, 5G or 10G Ethernet at this price level. It presents itself as a Realtek NIC and works with every OS.

Great fit, Improved everything
on November 4, 2021
Posted by: emiliosic
from Wakefield, MA
Let's tart by mentioning that I used the Elite 65t and Elite 85t. I liked them both very much, and Elite 7 improves on them in every way.
While the Elite 65T made me really appreciate these earbuds, it lacked ANC and wireless charging. So when I got the Elite 85t, it did everything I wanted with great sound quality, but somehow it didn't fit as great as the older ones. They also stick too much for my ears.
A reason why these new earbuds are not called 95t or something similar, is because it's a departure from previous iterations:
Instead of adding more to what's already there, it's a redesign in many ways, and it's now doing more and better with less, so improve audio quality, improved noise cancelation and voice call quality within a much smaller package, and they fit a lot better than the previous model.

As for fit, they cradle within the ear: The stem is an angle slightly into the ear canal while the earbud rests within the earlobe without putting much pressure.
After using them for about a week, I can wear them all day.
Sound quality is great, with a very clean sound in the mids, decent bass that's not overwhelming and clear trebles.

Voice calls: GN Netcom / Jabra is world known for its headsets, so these are great for voice calls. As a distinguishing feature from the non-pro version, it has 'jawbone sensors' that are used to compensate background noise in noisy environments so the voice comes out clear without the external noises. I couldn't test this too well since I've been working from home. Hopefully will let me take more calls while on walks.
A new feature is that once can now use either earbud (in mono mode) to take voice calls. In previous models, the 'mono' mode only worked with the right earbud.
Another feature that's been great on Jabra earbuds is the sidetone. This is very configurable and allows certain amount of one's own voice to be heard through the earbuds.

Controls: Very intuitive. First of all, it has sensors so when one takes either earbud off, it can pause on the phone, and resume when back on.
There is a single physical button on each earbud (no fuzzy touch controls which I grew to detest in other earbuds). Click, double click or tiple click on right or left handle different controls. Holding left or right controls volume. Pressing both goes into pairing mode.

ANC and HearThrough: HearThrough is very good. These earbuds passively filter much of the background noise. I set HearThrough on most of the time so I can hear some of the ambient noise, and it does not distort music while playing. ANC is also very good and configurable.
Phone app: The App is required for initial setup, advanced settings, equalizer and to enable ANC. It's not required while using the earbuds, but it's useful while running on the background. It can also optionally (disabled by default) track where one last used the earbuds (It does not have constant tracking however). I've seen the app change over the years since my fist Jabra earbuds and it's now very polished and simple to use. The firmware on the earbuds gets updates occasionally, and that's done via the app. It also details battery level on each earbud and the case.
The first time using the app with a new earbud, it runs through a setup process that measures the audible range of each ear and ANC settings.

The case is relatively small, fits in the side pocket on jeans even. It can be charged via a wireless Qi charger or via USB-C. Outside is an eggshell finish that doesn't smudge too much. The inside has a rubberized coating that's also easy to wipe clean, since the molded cradles are better exposed than in previous designs. The clamshell is held by a magnet, and has a hidden light on the front by the charging port that changes color depending on the charge level (Green/yellow/red) and also purple during firmware updates.
Battery: I've been using them the whole week without recharging it. The battery on each earbud is rated to an astounding 8 hours, with 30 hours total with the case. They seem to charge fast also.
Connectivity: These support the latest and greatest Bluetooth 5.2 (5.2 improves battery and connectivity vs BT 5.0). Codecs: SBC and AAC. With current firmware, it connects to one device at a time. I'm mentioning this because previous models are able to connect to the phone and laptop simultaneously.
Durability: These are brand new but my previous earbuds took abuse daily and still look like new, so I expect the same from these.
Overall these are excellent, my new favorites, covers about everything I could want from earbuds.

Good smart light, caveat on clean
on October 28, 2021
Posted by: emiliosic

This is my first 'Wi-Fi' smart light in the house although I use plenty of other systems.
I was curious mostly on the HEV cleaning cycle, which I've only seen in these lights.
Because I have a home automation hub, Wi-Fi is not my primary choice, although this is currently the only smart light with a cleaning cycle.
I was curious mostly on the HEV cleaning cycle, which I've only seen in these lights.
Because I have a home automation hub, Wi-Fi is not my primary choice, although this is currently the only smart light with a cleaning cycle.
First, the setup: Need the LIFX app on the phone. With the iPhone right next to the light, it could not discover it automatically, but it worked right away once the app instructed me to change to the temporary WiFi network for the light. It asked me to create an account with an email and password. The onboarding process was not smooth: There is no integration with password managers nor with Apple or Google authentication providers. Besides this, it was smooth after that.
The light is excellent in color definition and it's rated at 1100 lumens, but it seems much brighter than the bulbs I had in a desktop lamp.
The range of whites is excellent and the colors are very deep. This is among the best in chroma and color rendering.
The LIFX app has extensive color modes with flickering, and many color patterns that make for some interesting party tricks. After the novelty faded off, I'm glad that the whites palette is great.
While one could automate circadian rhythms through the app, the process is not straightforward but doable.
It supports HomeKit natively (some of the few lights that do), and it works very well except it doesn't support 'Adaptive Lighting' that's apple's version of circadian rhythm automations (Basically changing the hue of white from high to low kelvins through the day).
It supports every other automation platform I could think of: Google's, Alexa, SmartThings, IFTTT, Harmony remotes (with hub) and several others.

Note that the HomeKit setup doesn't need the app nor user credentials, once the initial setup through the app, because it connects directly to it, not via the LIFX cloud (Forums indicate that Adaptive Lighting is coming, eventually...)
The lamp is rated for 110-240V, Edison socket and uses 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi.
The feature that sets this apart is the clean cycle with HEV lighting.
Somewhat similar to UV, HEV is related but with a frequency nearer visible light, and it doesn't cause the skin problems of UV but is also less effective.
Somewhat similar to UV, HEV is related but with a frequency nearer visible light, and it doesn't cause the skin problems of UV but is also less effective.
While I'm no expert, the cleaning cycle works best when the lamp is less than 4 ft from the surface, preferably 2 ft, and is most effective with cycles around 18 hours.
Ideally this can work near a desk or kitchen counter and would be left overnight while no one is around.
The actual efficacy tests are posted on the LIFX web site for E. Coli and Staph aureus bacteria. (No test data for viruses).
So for the cleaning abilities, while it's convenient, there would be better options if you need a surface completely clean of bacteria and viruses. It works and I appreciate that it helps disinfect my desk but would not rely solely on it.

Twinkly Flex will add advanced technology to your home décor. The Flex, neon-like, flexible LED tube can be shaped any way you want, bringing new levels of lighting design and creativity to your connected home. Like all Twinkly products, every single LED of Flex can be controlled individually, allowing you to create and reproduce unique effects, gradients, and color animations. Twinkly’s patented mapping tool uses your smartphone camera to locate the precise position of each LED in the space, however they are laid out. This powerful and innovative process lets you control Flex like a screen: you can play professional, pixel-perfect effects and animations right on your decorative lighting display. Twinkly’s App enables you to create light design installations based on a wide range of pre-made effects and animations, as well as the ability to create your own effects from scratch using the FX Wizard creation tool. All effects are completely customizable: brightness, speed, intensity, and color can be modified with a single tap. A color picker helps you choose the perfect shade from more than 16 million options. An ON/OFF timer and general dimmer complete your control panel, providing you with unlimited possibilities to create the perfect lighting decoration. Flex can be grouped together with other Twinkly devices to create larger, synchronized light installations. Twinkly Flex can be used in combination with Twinkly Music, a small USB device (sold separately) capable of identifying and interpreting any source of music reproduced in your environment, enabling your lights to follow the beat for a WOW-effect audiovisual experience. Twinkly Flex can be controlled seamlessly with vocal assistants such as Hey Google and Amazon Alexa, as well as with Apple HomeKit, and Homey. Compatible with Razer Chroma RGB via Twinkly Chroma Connector to enhance your gaming experience with stunning light effects that react to your gameplay. Getting started with Flex is super easy: a quick and intuitive setup process helps you configure your device in a matter of seconds via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Twinkly Flex is IP20 certified, suitable for indoor use only.

The flex is like no other LED string: Instead of the usual LED string that's made to be hidden away, this is flexible light pipe. All the lights blend in just right for form an uniform light output.
The LED string is (only) 6.6f (Actually, 2M) and is packed with 200 individually addressable RGBW lights.
The controller is attached via a long cable, which attaches to a power socket. The cables are white and not removable.

To control it, needs an app for either iOS or Android (I use iOS).
The controller uses Wi-Fi with Bluetooth for initial setup.
I was at first hesitant to add this to my Wi-Fi since I didn't know what security practices they use. So I did a little bit of research and the company that makes this is an Italian company and have been in business for some years, with a good track record and active user community.

Initially had to retry a few times until the Twinkly app could find the lights and then I had to re-enter our Wi-Fi password a few times, but eventually it worked and everything went on smooth after that, and I had no connectivity issues whatsoever once the initial setup.
Because it's a light bar, it resembles the old neon lights used on storefront signs, which I think it's the main appeal on this type of design.
Besides the light, the packaging includes a series of clips that can use either small screws or 3M adhesive sheets. It also comes with instructions and four different templates.
I always wanted a cactus neon light on my home office, so coincidentally this came with a cactus template and so I went with it, but instead of affixing it to a wall, got an MDF (wood) board about 17x24 inches. This is about right for the cactus template. Putting it together took a few minutes and was very simple.

I never seen an app like this for smart lights. The coolest feature for me is that the app can learn the exact shape in which the light is placed by using the phone's camera while sending different color patterns to it. This worked really well.
Then one can apply a combination of multiple colors or effects that are part of the app or from an online library of light effects, and it's also very easy to create custom effects and patterns.

After playing with several effects, it was very simple to just draw the colors and effects in real time to the LED lights, like finger-painting.
This is very well accomplished.
This is very well accomplished.
The lights are not expandable, but multiple controllers can operate in sync, and the pattern detection from the phone can detect multiple controllers at the same time.
For this to work, one also has to be signed into the app with username and password (It accepts Sign-In with apple and others).

Integrations:
- Out of the box it works with Amazon Alexa and Hey Google.
- It did not work natively with Apple HomeKit.
- There are several integrations on Github, including support for Homebridge, NodeRED and HomeAssistant.
I was disappointed that this did not support HomeKit although BestBuy lists it as supported, however the Homebridge module worked great as expected.
What the integrations with voice assistants and others do is to turn it on / off, brightness or turn on solid colors.
It's mostly for the convenience of turning it on and off.
For full functionality, use the app. Also the controller has a push button to change some basic settings.

Razer Chroma: I did not use it, but Razer Chroma support is advertised for these lights (light effects while on certain video games on PCs).
Overall it's fantastic. My kids liked it so much I installed the app in one of their phones and let them play with it. It's customizable beyond my expectations, and the pattern tracing feature on the app is just spectacular, so the lights sync according to their coordinates (width, length), not just their sequence.
The Twinkly Instagram account showcases some interesting designs.

Monitor connections done right
on October 21, 2021
Posted by: emiliosic

This is an excellent monitor for working from home.
Nice and bright screen: IPS display with anti-glare coating. It can get very bright and it's comfortable to watch.
The screen is a fairly standard full HD 1920x1040, 16:9, and 24".
The design of the monitor is very good. The overall design is typical Dell, and in a good way, they know what they're doing: Bezels are very thin. The bottom border is thicker but still very compact. The base is the block of plastic painted silver that's one come to expect from Dell. I don't particularly appreciate plastic pretending to be metal, but looks fine. The back is a really nice patterned cream color that's nice if it gets exposed. The arm is very solid: The monitor can be lifted up and down, with ample movement and can also rotate 90 deg. Very stable arm. I appreciate it. Putting the base together is a cinch with not tools required and the arm snaps into the monitor. It can be released with a concealed button in the back, and it conceals a VESA mount. It even comes with the appropriate screws, that remain hidden when using the stand provided. Excellent design here.

Where this monitor really shines is connectivity: 1 USB-C, 1 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI.
It has a built-in 1080p camera with IR (Works with Windows Hello), microphone array and speakers.
The camera is concealed. It works exactly like the All-in-One Inspirion series from Dell: Push the top of the screen and the camera pops up. Pop it inside the monitor when not in use.
The camera and mic works with the USB-C connection. Speakers also work with the DisplayPort and HDMI connections.

The camera and mic works with the USB-C connection. Speakers also work with the DisplayPort and HDMI connections.
The power supply is part of the monitor: No power brick, it uses a standard (removable) power cable. The monitor also comes with an USB-C cable which also charges the computer, and that's where it makes a huge difference: Single power cable for both the monitor and a laptop. Single connection from the laptop, doesn’t get any simpler.
The monitor also has two USB-A 3.0 outputs: One on the back next to the other connections, and one on the bottom bezel: Ideal for an USB-C stick when needed. These works when using the USB-C connection.
Speaker: When connecting the computer the first time via USB-C, it recognizes two outputs: One via the video connection and one via USB-C. Both sound good. When selecting the USB audio, the volume can be controlled from the computer.

Power delivery: The monitor can also charge devices via the USB-A ports in addition to the USB-C. Power delivery settings can be configured from the monitor's menu, independently between USB-A and USB-C.
Controls: Settings and shortcuts are accessible via concealed buttons on the bottom bezel. An on-screen menu that's aligned with the button comes up when pressing them. The camera and mics can be completely disabled from the menu.
This monitor is not just for windows computers:
• MacBook recognized everything, and the camera worked just as well, with better resolution and clearer than the built-in camera (macOS does not use the IR cameras however).
• Chromebook also worked just fine, and recognized the camera (Tested it with Zoom).

Very simple to use by themselves or with the phone integration.
The dumbbells come as pairs, with two independent bases.
Each base can be charged via USB-C (Cables included, but charger is not included).

Each dumbbell has 6 sets of weights (So 12 weights total per dumbbell, 6 on each side).
The dumbbells themselves weight 8 lb each.
Each weight is 3 lb, but have to be set as pairs, so 6 lb increments
So weight combinations as follows:

The way it works is that once the dumbbells are resting on their bases, there are left and right buttons from the center screen of the base to adjust the weights. The dumbbells have a mechanized rod that connects the weights. Each weight has strong magnets and interlock themselves, so they do not come off once the center rod is in place.
There is no power button, they're ready to go as soon as the weight is changed or they're lifted.

iPhone App:
The JAXLOX app works with all connected fitness equipment from this brand and also connects to Apple Health.
It can be used to adjust the dumbbell, manually keep track during exercising or to be used with a subscription.
The subscription is currently $ 12.99 / month, with the 1st month free, and gives access to several trainer-led classes.
The subscription is not required unless taking the classes.

Classes:
There is a short selection of trainers, both male and female, and pre-recorded exercise videos can be filtered by type of exercise (Strength, cardio (sweat), etc.) length, equipment used, muscle groups, etc. Videos classes range from 15 to 45 minutes.
The classes can be pre-loaded on the phone and supports Airplay to a compatible large screen.
Real-time vitals are shown on the video. It also integrates with Apple Health, so if one is wearing an Apple Watch, it will also show BPMs and other stats. Without it, it will still show how many sets, lifts done, and overall weight, which is an excellent motivation.

Overall, the dumbbells are excellent on their own. Bear in mind that these are not starter sets. If you're looking to start with smaller weights, options are either 8 lb or 14 lb. Nothing else in between.
I think the iPhone app needs a bit of work but once we get to know its kinks, it works as expected.
The monthly subscription might be a bit steep although videos provide great motivation to make exercises more appealing and so that's worth it.
I like that subscription is completely optional and there is no need to use the app unless you want to track the exercise.

Can you grate cheese with this product?
Didn't try it yet for cheese since we only grate small portions at a time. It does have a thin shredding disk that should work with aged cheeses, depending on how thin you need it to be

Intelligent Mesh™ Technology offers whole home coverage that’s easily expandable by adding additional nodes. With easy set up, advanced security and parental controls, MX12600 is an essential upgrade to any home.
I have 3 existing Velop AC2200 nodes used to create a mesh network. Is this compatible with an existing AC2200 Velop system or would I need to rebuild from scratch or purchase another AC2200 node?
It does work with existing AC Velop. I suggest you make the AX4200 the primary node. I was in a similar sitiuation and chose to rebuild the Wi-Fi network using the same name and password, and remove the AC nodes since these are faster and with better range
