Nearly perfect chopper
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I like to make salsas - and in doing so need to chop up lots of onions, tomatoes and peppers. i have a hand-power chopper from the MN State fair that does a pretty good job - but things can get soupy if you are not paying attention. The design of this chopper is supposed to prevent that - as the chopped pieces fall into the container once sufficiently chopped. Great concept - and it does a pretty good job, but not perfect. The product advertising pic is a bit misleading. It should show onion all over the sides of the container, etc - as that actually what happens. They cleaned that container up for looks.
As for chopping - it makes quick work of everything I've thrown at it and would recommend it to friends and family if they don't already have some sort of chopper or theirs broke. Super easy cleanup via a rinse, easy and compact to store and fun to use (push to chop), then watch it drop. Kinda fun!

Very impressive and Sleek Chromebook!
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
Wow – Chromebooks have come a long way since I’ve used them last! I’m a PC guy, so using Chrome OS really wasn’t my thing. This latest Chromebook ALMOST made me change my mind – still missing just a few key items.
Right off the back – you can help but notice the well finished, aluminum case. It is stylish. It is light. The battery lasts for 12 hours. The Wifi is AC based – and FAST. The screen is a full 1080p for HD. It really is AWESOME!
Wait…..looking at the keyboard – where is the Delete key? Where is the Caps Lock, page up, page down, home, end, etc? Why? Why?? Why???
It’s so close to replacing a laptop for me. At work, I use a virtual desktop – so in couple quick steps and a Citrix logon, I’m running Windows 10 for my company in a browser window – and it works great! All accept for “deleting” an email. My choices? Either right click the email and select Delete. Move my mouse to the delete “x” in Outlook, or use a keyboard combination like Alt+Backspace.
My kids however, love it. Touch screen is awesome. The school system uses Apple iPads and Google Chromebooks, so the kids took to it immediately whilst mom and dad – the old PC generation aren’t quite as nimble. Your google accounts takes you immediately to productivity. Chrome Browser favorites are seamlessly synced from your legacy devise to your new Chromebook. Good photos, docs, sheets, google+, etc all immediately available. Really slick I tell ya!
Speakers put out some good sounds too! Right on top so it’s easy to hear. MicroSD slot for quick expandability. USB C for power and other devices. Webcam built right in for convenient use. Responsive and smooth trackpad for easy mouse navigation. I enabled Bluetooth and paired by Microsoft Arc Mouse for even more easy use.
Again – very sleek, large and impressive device. Even though it’s missing that Delete key, I’m going to give it a week or two of real production use and see how it goes. Nice job Acer! You’re stepping up your game!
Four stars only because Chromebooks are missing what I think are crucial keys on the keyboard. Darn it!

Cool Veggie Spiralizer and more!
on October 16, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
What a cool way to change things up in the kitchen for a party or just dinner time! I was more interested in the spiralizer than the food processor, as I have my MN State Fair chopper for Pico de Gallo - so let's get to it!
First thing I did was wash it up and throw an apple in the spiralilzer. The machine is powerful, relatively quiet and features suction cups to stick in place and prevent mishaps! See picture of the first spiralized apple. I didn't bother to core it out so you see a few seeds in there, but the kids loved it! Awesome for making all sorts of veggie noodles, so a quick pan saute and toss in some chicken and salad!
Can't wait for the next dinner party to see what new things I should come up with....maybe shoe string onions! It's a bit small to handle dough for my purposes, so I haven't tried that yet. A quick test of the processor blades made quick work of the salsa ingredients to a smooth slurry of goodness! Fantastic!

Solid cable and watch charger
on October 16, 2017

I really like this Apple Watch charging cable. It feels more sturdy and solid than even the original cable (and the charging surface is larger), and stays in place better on my dresser when I charge the watch! Length is great - allowing me to reach the dresser top easily from the outlet. Flexible connection to the charging plate feels like it will last forever!

Pour wine without removing the cork by using the Coravin Model Two wine system. The durable needle pierces the cork so you can pour, and then the cork reseals when the needle is removed to preserve the remaining wine. This Coravin Model Two wine system comes with two capsules that let you pour up to 30 glasses of wine.

Elegant, Sleek and for the Wine Connoisseur
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I must admit – I was pretty skeptical of a device that forces a steel needle through an unopened wine bottle and uses Argon gas to force the wine out. My mom and dad stopped by for a weekend visit so I thought it would be a perfect time to test it out!
I had just received my Coravin Model 2 earlier that day – and hadn’t even opened it up yet. I grabbed a bottle of wine, the Coravin box and opened it up right in front of them. Mom thought it was a drone.
Good grief. I inserted one of the two Argon capsules into the handle and screwed it shut tight. A quick flick of the pour lever allowed the system to purge itself. I clamped the Coravin 2 on the brand new wine bottle – with the foil still intact over the cork, and pushed the needle effortlessly down through the cork. Holding the bottle at approximately a 45 degree angle and pressing the lever, wine effortlessly flowed into the wine glass as my mom giggled with glee! Success!

Holding the bottle at approximately a 45 degree angle and pressing the lever, wine effortlessly flowed into the wine glass as my mom giggled with glee! Success!
I poured her a glass, removed the needle from the cork and the wine bottle was sealed up nice and tight – no drips or anything as I held it upside down to check and see. Dad inspected the bottle and the single needle hole puncture through the foil cork wrapper. Pretty. Frickin. Cool.
Cons – you need a supply of Argon capsules as each one works for about 15 glasses of wine (about $18 for 2). Why Argon? Argon has been used for year to extend the life of wines without tainting the flavor of the wine.
Overall – very impressed. Clever design. Carry bag included. If you know someone who is a wine lover and keeps a small cellar of wines at home or you yourself have the taste for wine and like to sample from various bottles at a sitting – this is the perfect gift!

Fast router, loads of features, buggy console
on October 1, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
One of the most noticeable things about this router is its unusually long antennas. This helps to paint the corners of your house with stronger WiFi signal than many other routers can. That's a nice touch to start with!
This AC2600 router, as with all newer (AC) routers, contain MU-MIMO. What does that mean? It’s Multi-User, Multiple Input & Multiple Output. OK – that means it can handle more simultaneous connections than your old router (which sends signals to only one person at a time). If you are still sitting with an “old-style” A, B, G or even N router – this is your upgrade reason!
As I said – this router is packed with a lot of features, but I feel it was released just a little before it was ready. I say that because when using the web console, I experienced several bugs (console froze up, router didn’t detect other items on the network, parental controls page didn’t operate correctly, etc). Perhaps a new firmware update will fix many of these issues, but for now it was quite a frustrating experience.
Even with that – this router did give great performance numbers! Coverage was great in all corners of my 2 story 3500 sq ft home and multiple device streaming did not have any issues what-so-ever. The dual core technology really helps – with one core focusing on routing and switching and the on all the other features like AC Smart Beam, DNLA, Parental controls, etc. Another interesting feature is TriplePlay - which allows you to create a separate network for devices you don't want talking to your each other. Most won't use that, but for advanced users this VLAN segmentation option may be attractive.
This is a recommended device for those stuck in the dark ages with only an A, B, G, or N technology router. Power users may want to opt for more advanced or wireless mesh devices.

Capable & Affordable Small Business Projector!
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I’ve recently had the opportunity to test the Epson VS355 business projector – and will say this is a very capable unit. It arrived well packaged in a box, but I noticed right away there wasn’t a case to carry it in. If this machine will be moved around a lot, you’re going to want to pick one up.
I was impressed the number of input options with this projector: USB cable (special SW required), HDMI, VGA and Component. I would expect that most people would simply use HDMI or VGA, but since I was testing with a Surface Pro 4, I didn’t have any of these options. Worthy to note that if you only have a Microsoft Surface device (it has a single USB port and a display port). I opted for the USB port which utilizes a printer style USB cable. I needed to download the special software from Epson, and once installed, I used the “Windows key”+P on my surface device to select “Duplicate” for the display setting. BOOM – worked great! Duplicate displays! However, I could not “Extend” my display between the Surface and the Projector, so if I try to do a PowerPoint presentation, it would not show my presentation notes on my Surface – it only Duplicated the display. Bummer.
There are no wireless display options with this unit, due to its relatively low price point. You can purchase an accessory that would allow this though!
For business presentations, the picture quality is awesome. The projector is bright, crisp and does well with Microsoft Office type software. I also looked at some pictures taken with my iphone, and although it is great for showing off to the family, it lacked the clarity I would want for somebody that is focused mostly on displaying high quality images.
There are plenty of adjustments possibly – auto vertical keystone and manual horizontal. The included remote control allows you do adjust these as well as buttons on the unit itself. Speaking of the remote control (see picture), it also has lots of options. There’s a built in pointer but I feel you’d be better off with a laser pointer though. I do like the zoom feature and if connected with the USB option, the page up and down will allow you to control your presentation or slideshow right from the remote itself! There is a cool "split" button that allows you to display from two sources at the same time - a feature not usually found in affordable projectors like this!
The sound, although a bit “tinny”, is what you’d expect from a small projector like this. If you plan to use sounds to really enhance your presentation, you should plug into the sound system in the room if you have one or use a more capable portable speaker.
Overall – this will work great for small businesses or groups, family photo displays, graduation picture showcases or even movie night for the kids (as they usually don’t notice or care about granulation if it happens). Remember – this is not a Cinema projector – it’s meant for business! I rated it 4 stars only because it didn’t come with a case. Projection wise – it’s bright, quiet and sleek!

Advanced Router to suit all your needs
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I’ve been eager to test the latest Linksys router on the market – the WRT32X AC3200 gaming router! Boasting better gaming performance as well as traffic prioritization – I may no longer have to worry about my kids Netflix or Kodi streaming messing up my work sessions!
This device come packed like a safe, and was put together easily. The Linksys stackable design and the Stealth-fighter lines on the device make it look cool and “bad” at the same time!
For testing purposes, I temporarily removed my normal mesh-based router as they both try to use the same address space, and fired up the Linksys Killer router. Setup was easy, and I really like the dashboard as compared to many other router brands!
Speed tests was very good, equal with the top-of-the-line competitors mesh products, however the mesh based wireless networks have an edge on the range only due to the fact that they have satellite routers to carry the signal farther.

If you have a gaming rig or devices aware of the Killer networking features, the built-in "Killer Mode" can automatically detect your Killer-enabled computer, then syncs its Killer engine to the Killer Network Manager on the PC. This means that not only the computer itself but the entire network, hosted by the WRT32x, is tuned for the best gaming experience.
But the router doesn't just work for games only. Linksys says while it prioritizes gaming traffic, it also includes features that allows other online activities like streaming or downloads to work smoothly. It's also smart enough to prioritize only the actual gaming traffic and not all traffic related to games. Downloading a patch for a game, for example, will be treated as a regular download and not automatically prioritized.
Overall – I’m very impressed with the speed and versatility of this router, with the only downside being the 4 ports on the back. I would think that router manufacturers would now start to build in 8 ports or more – there are just so many things to connect!
If you are a big gamer, or have gamers in the house to control – check this router out and I’m sure you’ll be impressed too!

Easy, quick, flexible storage for most home users
on September 24, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I recently installed a Western Digital My Cloud Home 4 TB for testing purposes. This is a single drive, home backup system for PCs and mobile devices. It is a very easy solution to setup for most home users that have simple backup requirements.
Your data is actually stored in multiple locations: your device/pc, the WD MyCoud Home device, and in the WD MyCloud online storage solution. If you don’t already use solutions to backup your phone photos/videos, this device is drop-dead simple to setup and a must have to keep your memories safe!
Seriously – just plug it into your home network, create your free WD account, install the app on your mobile device(s) or PC(s) and start backing your stuff up! I can’t tell you how many people have asked me to recover photos or lost them because they’ve lost their phone! Unless they’ve got a recent backup, they are out of luck! Just setup the “Auto Backup” to automatically backup your photos to our MyCloud Home device so they are protected. If you don’t have unlimited cellular data – no worries, you can configure it to only use Wifi for the auto backups!
Another cool feature is the ability to backup your other cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook photos, etc. Now you have them all in one place (well two including the cloud) nad are safe and secure!
There are lots of features that I haven’t setup up yet – like PC backup,Desktop Sync, Plex (music, videos, etc) and IFTTT.
I would definitely recommend the dual hard drive option (the Duo) versus a single drive option – after all the purpose of the device is to make sure you don’t lose data.

Solid and fast for most home users
on August 16, 2017
Posted by: TechMatcher
from Minneapolis
I recently picked up a Dell 8920, Core i7, Intel Optane hard drive powered desktop to keep in the home office. I would consider myself an expert user, taxing most systems with business performance software like Visio and running many things at one time – just so you have the context.
At work, I have the pleasure of evaluating desktops and laptops for a Fortune 100 company – so my review of this draws from comparisons made from my previous experiences.
First things first – I can’t believe computers still come with WIRED keyboards and mice! I was extremely disappointed with this fact. Know that you’ll need to purchase or use your existing wireless input devices if you want those features – and who doesn’t??!!
Packaging was good – no issues/scratches with the appearance of the machine. Setup was easy. Just plugged in the WIRED keyboard and mouse, hooked my monitor up with my own HDMI cables (the desktop doesn’t have ANY cables except the power cord), and everything fired right up.
One up and running, I did a few boot tests to get an average of 16 seconds to the logon screen (yes – you should use a password). The machine comes preloaded with a bunch of Dell utilities, support assistance, trial software, etc. That stuff just bloats the computer to me. Delete the AV and use Windows Defender and get rid of the other trial ware. Then, be smart about your surfing and what you click on.
Next, I ALWAYS run a performance test on the systems I review. I use a product called Passmark Performance Test – you can use the free trial. As you can see in the picture attached, this machine scored a 3674. In perspective, the FASTEST PC test with Passmark scores around 9000, while a stock Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with and Core i5 and SSD that I have scores around 1300. So – this machine performs better that 79% of all machines out there. Not too bad – especially if you are the average home user that checks email, surfs the web, and tracks personal finances or something.
The 2-8GB DDR4 SDRAM PC4-19200 Kingston memory chips scored well as does the Core i7-7700 processor. What hurts this machine is the graphics card and the ironically, the Optane boosted spinning disk. I say ironically because the Optane technology is supposed to be the next big thing in storage! It basically is supposed to act like a super-fast cache – and supposed to be intelligent and learns as you go. I could kinda see that after repeatedly launching the disk test – scores ranged from 1900 to 2600 within the tool. So not as fast as a dedicated SSD disk, but from a usability standpoint – I saw no issues.
Another review complained about network card issues. I have not experienced drops – so I see no issues there on this machine. On a positive note, I do like all the ports available – HDMI, Display port, 3 audio ports, 7 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports, built in SD card slot, CD/DVD Burner. This computer has a lot going on!
Overall – if you’re the average home user, or even a bit on the power user side – this machine should be enough horsepower for you. If you’re looking to game – you’ll need to choose something else with a faster hard drive and more powerful graphics card.

So I purchase an Arlo 4 to live stream on my wi fi as a SIXTH camera to my already FULL 5 camera account. I get a free smart subscription and everything works. When the subscription expires and I do not wish to renew, my Arlo 4 is useless, correct?
Well - yes. You either pay for the Arlo subscription upgrade, or perhaps you remove one of your older Arlo's and leverage the great camera quality and features of the Arlo Pro4. Unfortunately, that's the way technology goes - replace old stuff with new stuff.

I've already used mine for 12 hours without charging. The Microsoft website claims 16 hours..

Im looking to purchase this for dual purposes. Audio production With Pro Tools, and Digital art with Adobe products. Will the SB 3 Be able to handle both?
Yes - I'm confident the SB3 will be able to handle this. Take a look at the Microsoft web page for the SB3 - they give you some examples that may help to make your decision.
