The TV looks great with the very small bezels. I like how the remote turns on my Nvidia Shield and operates it so I don't need to use the tiny remote it comes with. I don't have a 4K receiver yet so I can't comment on the picture in that mode which is important since that is the native screen resolution. But it looks good and so far I am not taking it down. My only regret is had I spent another $100 or $200 I could have gotten a little higher up model. Since its wall mounted I think it would have been worth it. So it works well, looks good and it has feature I didn't expect. For the most part I am happy with my choice. I use the Shield to stream cable with a HomeRun prime. If I had gotten the Sony I wouldn't need the Shield. I would have liked to maybe gone that way because for the same price the Sony had Android TV.

Solid Performance, but not yet there

I really wanted did like the Linksys Max Stream. This Model EA7500 AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabyte Router was probably the easiest router I have ever just put in service. I use the term put in service by meaning I put my normal Netgear #R7000 Nighthawk router off line, plugged in the Max Stream and it was seamless.
That’s seemed too easy so I ran benchmarks from my workstation and Xbox one. You could call it a tie as they both delivered all the speed that my cable internet supports. All network devices were found and my streaming and gaming consoles devices all worked without issue.
So what’s not to like? Well it’s a very new product at the time of this review. The box is clearly saying this is a Belkin made product. I have had many Belkin products over the years. Anything from other routers to simple USB cables. They have all been well made products. But the Netgear has a much more advanced interface that gives me more control and the simple plug and play mode if I wanted to use it.
I do like where these new routers and wireless devices are making setting up wired and wireless networks so easy. This is a good router if you need to replace one and you find it at a competitive price. Otherwise I would give it more time on the market and read more reviews. There are other options that have been on the market. I currently have it in service downstairs and working very well with my Xbox one. I also use it to steam PC games to an Nvidia Shield and I have no complaints.

If you wanting to go 4k on your desktop and you have the room this monitor will server you well. It could use a few things fixed, the stand is just wrong and the HDMI port should be a 2.0. But as a single monitor it works very well. I tried to go with a TV but that seldom works well on a computer. I had a high end Asus 4k but the text was to small. The 40" is the perfect size for a 4k desktop. It is also great for gaming although for serious FPS is might not be the best choice. However if your in the market for a 4k monitor you should consider this one high on your list. It is a true computer monitor so the text is clear, it goes to sleep and it does have serveral connection options. I won't be taking this one back.

Does well against the competition
on December 1, 2015

The Bissell SmartClean Robot Vacuum turned out to be an interesting contrast for what is available in a robot vacuum. My first experience with a robot vacuum was a purchase I made maybe over a year ago. We installed wood floors and I got tired of seeing my wife’s hair on the light color wood. To no fault of hers she just has long black hair. I saw a Neato robot vacuum on sale and thought maybe that was the solution to the problem. The way that vacuum works is very much different than the SmartClean.
Both vacuums have many of the same common features. They will go over most any floor certainly neither had a problem with my wood flooring. They dock and charge on their own. And both can be programmed to run whenever you want. They both support invisible walls and like most devices they each have their own unique way to be programmed but it can also be just as easy to push a button and walk away.
It’s when it comes to actual use that I found the SmartClean to be much easier to manage from day to day. It’s easier to take the dust bin out and clean the filter. I don’t have to move anything out of the way and worry it will get stuck. You had to almost prep the rooms for the Neato to finish without getting hung up on something. It is a lot quieter than I expected so that was also a nice surprise. The SmartClean has options for the type of pattern it uses to move around. So where the Neato pulls away from its dock and starts to scan the room the SmartClean just runs for as long as you let it in either a random pattern or one of the five different pattern choices it gives you. My first thought was clearly the Neato with its room mapping would be much more efficient but actually it doesn’t do any better when it finishes. They both do better than I expected any robot vacuum to do so I am sold on them being a simple way to help keep your house clean.
So it comes down to value and just what you need the vacuum to do for you. There both well built but the Bissell can be found for around one hundred less. I looked for replacement parts for both vacuums and didn’t have any issue finding anything you might need for the Bissell. Of course since the Bissell costs less you can get an extended warranty and run it without worry. I will say that on a carpet floor the Neato might have the edge because it does have more overall suction power. But the SmartClean gets in the corners much better. So if you think you can replace using a larger vacuum with the robot vacuum your chances might be better with the Neato. But if you want a simple robot vacuum that seems to do very well for the value the SmartClean is a very good choice.

I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the extra money on the keyboard but the two are a such perfect fit for each other that its almost a must. In any case its works much better than I expected and does protect the screen. It really is a nice keyboard in use so I am satisfied. I would suspect Micro Soft would sell many more units it if just included the keyboard.

Although this is not a real powerful processor it is a perfect size display for web surfacing and light office work. It is a bit expensive if you get the 4GB/128 GB model like I did. But its totally silent, the screen is excellent and the form factor is perfect for web pages. I was going to get a notebook and for the price and there are many options but to sit on the couch and have a full Windows touch screen is great. Normally I would go Android but there are just times when you need a full Windows OS.

I have been through many gaming mouse pad through the years. I bought this one because my Steel Series was getting a bit worn. I have used Logitech products many times. In fact I didn't even think they made mouse pads. Well my BF4 accuracy had been moving up ever since so I am very pleased with this pad.

I was actually looking for the Samsung branded case for my Tab Pro. The Insignia was the only one Best Buy had in stock. So I went ahead and bought it and the fit is perfect, it does shut the screen down when closed. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

My new friend

I read reviews on the robot vacuum cleaners in the past and thought they were toys. Well after having this thing run around my house I am now convinced. We have new wood floor installed and I work from home. Every few days to goes about the business of running around the house cleaning. The surprising thing is how much it picks up each time. With no kids and just two adults who knew it would find so much dust and of course my wife's hair. It scans the rooms and if it runs low on battery it docks itself, charges and then goes back and finishes were it left off. My only complaint is the container has a filter that needs to be cleaned between each run. Its a small container and filter. I am going to have to get a supply of filters which I haven't researched yet. It squeaks sometimes and because of the amount of work it does I went back and put a warranty on it. Normally I don't do that but this thing deserves it. Other then that its a great addition that really does make a difference.

Can you add a SSD or NVME to the 528? Specs show an internal SSD PCIE! No pictures of the insides or specs anywhere online. Also looks like a 4 or 5 TORX for the back cover. Two screws near the hinge look like they are separate form the back cover????
The user guide makes no mention of being able to add additional storage.

Enjoy crisp powerful sound while gaming with this Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero wireless PC gaming headset. The rechargeable battery offers up to 30 hours of use, and the remappable on-ear controls let you adjust settings as needed. This Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero wireless PC gaming headset has a sleek metal headband and interchangeable cooling gel-infused memory foam ear cushions that provide a comfortable, secure fit.
Whats up with the lack of reviews on this, is this a new product? Are the ear cups leather? Is the mic attached or apart of the headset?
The lack of review might be due to it being a very new product. It can be found on the Turtle Beach website. The ear cups are a very soft pleather. You are not likely to see full leather ear cups at this price range or even higher. The mic is removable and the mute button is on the left headphone. The mic works very well.

Is it 5.1 or 7.1
It is neither. It is a full 3D sound environment and not separate channels. You can find this feature in some higher end headphones. It seems to work well but its not your average 5.1 or 7.1 surround channel that we think of. Go look for Waives NX 3D audio to find out more about this technology.
