Long battery, optional stereo and simple to use

Jabra BlueParrott - S650-XT 2-in1 Convertible Wireless Headset with Active Noise Cancellation - Black
I am always on the lookout for a truly long lasting wireless headset that will take a beating and last all day. From my use of the S650-XT headset I might have finally found it. With work nowadays being 24/7 you must always be available. Smaller headsets might claim all day battery life but good luck if you get into long conversations and also have been listening to music. In my work I cannot have downtime. The S650-XT has not run out of battery during my day and now I don’t even worry about it. This was the single most important feature for me and this headset passes with power to spare. It really helps take the worry out. And unlike some headsets it doesn’t just go to sleep because I set it down. That's a big win for my use case. The mic is fine and I didn’t have any negative comments about how I sounded. It is very flexible in that you can use the mic from either your right or left ear. The headset is heavier than I would like and I normally prefer over the ear pads. The S650-XT is on ear. But the weight is balanced and the overall fit is comfortable. The clamping pressure is fairly light which helps. The build quality is good and all of the buttons feel like they will last quite well. This headset comes with a detachable second earpiece so you can get true stereo sound. However this is not high end audio and doesn’t support any advanced codex for the Bluetooth connection. It does support using a 3.5mm aux cable if you really want to get the best audio sound it's capable of. I find the audio quality with standard Bluetooth to be Ok but it won’t rock your world. But I like having the choice of using the second earpiece or not. Also packed is a very nice travel case to keep it and your USB type-C charging and supplied 3.5 mm aux cable all together. One feature I do like is how easy the buttons are. So many wireless headsets buttons take time to learn but the S650-XT are about as simple as can be. I like that as I have many headsets and I usually just control them using my phone. I don’t have that problem with the S650-XT. One of the standout features is the noise cancellation. It does really work well when I am driving and taking a call. If Jabra could shave a few grams off the weight especially with the second earpiece attached and add a bit higher Bluetooth music quality this could be the do all working headset. With its build quality and IP54 dust and moisture rating it should hold up quite well in a variety of conditions.

Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse
The first thing to say about Razer V2 Pro is good grief is this thing light. I have always preferred a lightweight mouse. So any mouse I have had that came with weights I have never used them. But the Razer Viper V2 Pro is at a whole other level here. And why is that a preference for me, well it’s just faster for gaming and less fatiguing. And I can imagine if you travel with it you will love it. This is the mouse I would have made if I was designing one. It is very comfortable not just for gaming but for any use. The form factor is very much like their famous DeathAdder Pro which is really a legend among gaming mice. So if you like that feel it is mostly here but without the cable and weight. I have been on the same charge for a week of all day use. Razer claims it takes four hours to charge a low battery. The single LED on the top will blink when the battery gets low. I like that it is not overdone with buttons I will never use. And the buttons and mouse wheel are up to Razer quality. If I had one complaint about this mouse is that maybe the right and left buttons could be a bit quieter. It's not anything you would hear gaming but it might be a problem in a crowded office. Similar to why you should be very careful with what type of keys you would use on a mechanical keyboards if you are using one in an office. I am hoping it will quiet down with use but it is not enough to detract from what makes this such a great mouse. Along with the mouse you get a high quality USB type C braided cable, mouse grip tape you can apply and a neat docking adapter you can put the wireless receiver in if you have any connection issues. I didn’t need it but it's nice that it was included. I don’t find it an issue but to change the DPI setting there is a button on the bottom of the mouse. That could be a deal breaker if you are a gamer who switches DPI settings in game. The one LED light on the top indicates which DPI mode you're in. I typically don’t switch DPI settings so that isn’t an issue for me. And yes no RGB which Razer is famous for won’t be found on display here. I was never a big fan of RGB on a wireless mouse as it will drain the battery. Also other than telling me the DPI setting I never understood the value of RGB on a mouse. For a keyboard RGB makes great sense, but I am not convinced of the value of RGB on a mouse, especially on a wireless mouse. For full disclosure here I did not install the Razer software. As soon as I plugged it in the software came up to be installed from the Windows store. I elected not to install it. I use a KVM switch at my desktop to switch between four computers all day and I preferred to not install software on them. The good news is I don’t see any functions I need that require the software. That is perfect for me and another reason I am very much liking this mouse. If you're looking for RGB this is not it. If you are looking for a great wireless gaming mouse, heck just a great mouse overall I can highly recommend the Viper V2 Pro. And good grief is this thing light.

CORSAIR - M65 RGB ULTRA Wired 8 Button Optical Gaming Mouse with Adjustable Weights - Black
I have built a lot of PCs over the years using Corsair parts but I wasn’t really a big fan of their peripherals. The build quality of their products was always good but I wasn’t a fan of their CUE software. I always thought it was a bit buggy and bloated. And their keyboards and mouses seemed a bit overbuilt and expensive. However I picked up a great buy on one of their wireless headsets and now I have the M65 RGB ULTRA mouse. I will say the CUE software is much better but the setup experience for the headset and mouse wasn’t the best. It took a few reboots for all of the updates to get done. The updates were for the CUE software and the firmware for both peripherals. It all worked well but the experience could be better. Now though I find the software to work very well, it's fairly easy to use but it can get a bit complicated if you want. Overall probably a good balance for the novice and professional users it is trying to please. Clearly it's a great compliment to a full Corsair RGB build. The M65 RGB ULTRA turned out to be a real nice surprise. It fits my average hand very well. The mouse buttons are especially pleasing. They have a nice smooth feel that I didn’t even know I was missing. It’s a subtle thing but that feeling carries over to all of the buttons. The plastics used are hard but feel very nice and look very good as well. Is a bit of a fingerprint magnet but it wipes clean pretty easily. The mouse frame is aluminum and the mouse supports a tunable weight system. I like a planted mouse so I am currently using all of the weights. I like how Corsair pre-applied thread lock to the screws that hold in the weights. This is one of the little details you find in Corsair products that help set them apart. Just the quality of the braided USB cable is another way this mouse just feels so well throughout. For me the button placement is just perfect. And of course there is the RGB. The colors just look cool. They're bright and clear and with the software you have enough control to make them look anyway you want. I have the middle button tied to the CPU temperature for example. I really expect to have years of service from this mouse. One of the joys of PC gaming is having access to an endless choice of gaming accessories. To me one of the most important of these accessories is the mouse you use. This mouse just clicks all of the buttons I want in a PC gaming mouse.

A must have jewel for your teeth gum health

Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 - White
I was introduced to a Philips Sonicare toothbrush a few years ago. I am now where when I get my teeth cleaned it's a pretty quick and painless visit. That toothbrush completely changed a lifetime of long dental visits not to mention how much more healthy my teeth and gums are. I had braces as a kid and used a waterpik. I don’t know why I waited this long to revisit this additional mouth care. The Philips Power Flosser comes very highly recommended. You will benefit if you use this flosser. My experience was once you master keeping the water from making a mess, which for me was to keep my mouth closed, and get your settings right you will feel the difference. I recommend turning down the water pressure while you try each setting. There is no reason to use a lot of pressure. Just start out low and turn it up overtime if you want. Try out the tips as they both work well. If you keep at it and don’t overdo it you are almost certain to improve your teeth and gum health. I don’t know what improvements I will see but in the coming months I do expect it to be helpful. It feels very good after using it now and it doesn’t take very long. My only complaint is I do feel Philips could have used a better quality hose to the handle. It is coiled which is good but it feels a bit cheap. I don’t know how long it will last but I do trust Philips' design decision and honestly for the gains you can get using this flosser and what it costs it's a heck of a value. This is probably one of the easiest to recommend products I have had the pleasure to use.

Microsoft - Surface Go 3 – 10.5” Touch-Screen – Intel Pentium Gold – 8GB Memory -128GB SSD-Device Only (Latest Model) - Platinum
This gen Surface Go 3 surprised me but not in a good way. I still use an original Surface 3 from years ago to stream music from my network server. It has served me very well for many years. But if you're asking me would I recommend this Surface Go 3 I would have to sadly say no. It’s a nice enough consumer content streamer if you are using Windows. But I think that’s about as far as I can go. It does have some nice tech but honestly nothing really new or even new for the Surface line. It still has a great formfactor, the stand is a legend, it has always had a very nice display and Microsoft has a well earned reputation for the quality of their products. But when letting my wife borrow it for an evening I kept hearing the same comment about how slow it is. This was not a nerd like me. This was a typical user steaming YouTube and reading FaceBook and I was not at all surprised by her comments. I don’t know if Microsoft is on automatic here. I sure hope they're not really trying because this is just a big miss for me. And it seems clear they have just underpowered this device. And to add insult to injury they must be testing a different device then I am as I cannot imagine how you would get, “all-day” battery use. I get maybe 4 hours at best of continuous use. That seems well short of this claim. Like any product purchase I am good as long as I know what to expect and I am always glad to be surprised. For the Surface Go 3 plan on very light use to keep it enjoyable. And if you do happen to do serious work you probably are not going to be enjoying it much. A swiss army knife this is not. I do want to give a shot out about Windows 11. It looks really good on this screen. I have found the window borders, notifications, menus and setting screens to be very well done. The taskbar is much more unified and I like it. I have much more to explore here but it looks very modern and clean. I do like what I see so far.

Nothing special here

Dell - S3222DGM 32" LED Curved QHD FreeSync Monitor (DisplayPort, HDMI) - Black
This is the first curved monitor I have used and at first I was not impressed. In fact it took a good week of daily use before I started to feel comfortable with the screen. It just seemed to induce a bit of distortion that I was not used to seeing. However I can say that once I got used to it it felt natural. But at the 32” size I am not sure the curve is very useful. I would have liked to try it on a larger screen where I think it would have provided a much bigger benefit. And this is the problem I have with this Dell monitor. I just don’t see where it has anything much beyond the curve. The display is using a VA LED panel. This is a very common panel type for high refresh rate monitors like this Dell and should provide deeper blacks then the other common IPS panel types. Other than the curve there is nothing that sets this monitor apart from any other competitors at this price level. The monitor doesn’t support HDR and there is no real pop to the colors. The display is clear and very fast and the stand is a common Dell feature that is tested and works well. It has two HDMI 2.0 ports and one Display port along with a single headphone jack. And that is really about it. The build quality is fine although the curve actually uses more desk space than the similar size flat panel I use everyday. I found the on screen controls to be simple and very bland. There is a bright blue light under the front bezel that some may find distracting. Luckily you can swipe across it and turn it off if you like. And that’s about where it ends. This is not a bad monitor but other than the curve there is little else here to like and at this size that might not be enough. It is mostly a bare bones VA display with a high refresh rate that you can get from any number of manufacturers at a lot of price levels. I have had excellent luck with Dell monitors over the years and that might be the biggest reason to buy this monitor.

Who hasn’t seen a Dell advertisement that showcased the latest computer technology and not wanted one for themselves. But with legendary status comes great responsibility. The x15 R1 is a very nice gaming laptop but it seems to suffer a critical problem that Dells claims to have made major improvements to and that's its CPU cooling. Dell touts its ALIENWARE CRYO-TECH™ TECHNOLOGY. This is their latest cooling technology which is a combination of its Element 31 silicone thermal interface material, quad fan technology, quad airflow and options for managing five unique power states. With the time I have had testing the X15 R1 it comes short of doing a good job cooling the CPU under game loads. I am consistently seeing CPU temperatures of 100°C. This temperature is within the Intel specifications for it’s i7-11800H CPU of, (TJUNCTION 100°C). Junction Temperature is the maximum temperature allowed at the processor die. This is the CPUs highest temperature before it will throttle down. Or simply it will slow itself down to protect itself. It would have been nice to see it running below this threshold. The RTX3070 actually ran very cool for a laptop with observed temperatures in the high 70s°C. Any temperature you might experience could be different then what I was seeing. The fans do a good job getting the heat out and even at full speed the fans noise is tolerable compared to other gaming laptops I have tested. You would never play on this laptop on your lap without having something under it.

You would never play on this laptop on your lap without having something under it.
I do like the feature set here with one major exception which is the omission of a DisplayPort graphic port.There are not a lot of ports but the ports here have enough overall flexibility there really is nothing you can’t connect to. The RTX30 series chip supports HDMI 1.2 which allows for a very good feature set including support for 4k at 120 hertz. But most desktop monitors do not have this newer HDMI connection. Most monitors do have DisplayPorts so not including one here is a bit of a letdown. You can do DisplayPort on the Thunderbolt 4 port but it would have been nice to have a dedicated port. I am also not a big fan of the AC adapter location. It is on the left side which is better then having it on the right but it sticks straight out. A power adapter with a 90 degree bend would have helped here. You can add another M.2 SSD but not more ram. I looked into how difficult it is to add a second SSD and it's doable but do be careful. You can download the service manual right from Dell so you might want to look at it before doing it yourself.
I did some benchmarking because when you look at this Intel i7 and RT3070 it's easy for some to get confused. Notebooks with mobile CPUs and GPUs do not perform at the level of desktop parts. This CPU running the common Time Spy benchmark is 69.7% slower then my Intel CPU i7-11700F system. And although it is not really a fair fight, it's 57.3% slower than my RTX3080. About the speed of an RTX2080. Performance is always relative and in the actual world this laptop rocks in gaming. Its 1920x1080 360Hz screen is fast, bright and clear. This is the best gaming resolution for this GPU. The keyboard has nice RGB lighting with good key travel and feel, the mouse trackpad is responsive and accurate and I do think the Alienware power button looks really good. All of the RGB is done well and the back chassis lighting might just be enough for a whole room. At first I had mixed feelings about the feel of the chassis material but now that I have had more time I find the feel is just fine and doesn't become a fingerprint magnet. Dell says this is the slimmest Alienware laptop they have ever made. Battery life is about what you expect from a gaming laptop. Writing this review and watching a few videos will put me at 20% in just 3 hours. I tend to run my displays bright and you do have many options for power management so that can probably be improved. I test at factory defaults.
The gaming laptops available today are miles better than ever. This is mostly because of the performance of these new mobile GPUs. They really do make mobile gaming on AAA titles possible. Yes they still get hot and have to be plugged in and maybe still will for a long time yet. But for anyone wanting to experience taking their gaming on the road or a workstation that doesn’t take up a whole desk this will do. The Dell Alienware R1 is a very nice gaming laptop. Heat is a problem for all of the new CPUs. They can run hot and if Dell can’t tame them who can. With great products comes great heat.

Asus bring the latest tech to the ZenBook Flip 15
on January 5, 2021
Posted by: Reddog
from Tomball, TX
ASUS - ZenBook Flip 15 Q538EI 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - GTX1650Ti Max-Q - 1TB SSD - Grey
The Asus Zenbook has a lot going on in a simple and elegant notebook chassis. It would be easy to make this a very long review since there is a lot to talk about here. First off the star of the show is the OLED display. OLED displays are not that commonly found on computers but you can find them on some notebooks such as found here on the Flip 15. OLED screens do not use a black light such as found in every other LED type screen. This allows the screen to display true blacks. Unlike a typical backlit screen that can never have a real true back. This along with the color accuracy of OLED makes a great screen for content creation. The Asus Flip 15 goes even further by providing a screen that is pantone validated. It is also a 4K touchscreen and supports 4096 pressure levels of stylus support. In a practical sense this screen is just gorgeous. I can only find one item not checked for this screen and that is it does not support a high refresh rate. That would be a nice feature but would have just increased the cost of this notebook with very little extra actual value. The second main star of this show is the new 11th Gen Intel processor found here. This is the newest Core i7-1165G7 mobile processor from Intel and deserves a full review by itself. In summary this processor is built on a new 10 nanometer process. This all new processor is very fast and includes Intels revised Xe architecture integrated GPU. It is a 4 core CPU with 8 threads and supports hyperthreading. Intel is working to get their 10 nanometer processors to the desktop but the mobile processors will be first. In my research this processor is excellent at single thread performance and also very competitive when running multicore threads. I ran some Blender benchmarks that ran this processor's cores at 100% for well over an hour and it ran cool and quiet. I was very impressed with how quiet this notebook is under load. The Flip 15 also comes with 16GB of fast ram and a 1TB Intel SSD. These hardware specifications are top of the class but we also have a dedicated Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 TI with Max-Q design with 4GB of DDR 6 memory. The 1650 TI Max-Q processor is not a gaming monster but it can run most games at medium to high settings. The trade off is you won’t run at the full 4K resolution of the screen if you game but you could run games at FHD or 1080p. Where this dedicated Nvidia GPU really helps is if you're running software such as Photoshop since it will take full advantage of this GPU. There are other nice features here such as the new Thunderbolt 4 standard. This gives you full USB 4 support and is expected to be the universal USB standard that should replace all prior USB types going forward. Finally one USB standard to replace the confusing USB types we have today. This is just a sample of the new features you get with this Flip 15. I do have a few grips with the Flip 15. The keyboard is backlit but I would have liked the lighting to get brighter. The touchpad works well but the number pad seems squished to me. These are very minor grips for what is a very nice notebook. Finally I think this notebook is perfect for content creators. I would not get this notebook if your primary need is gaming. Also I think Asus has done a very good job of keeping the software bloat to a minimum here. The bloat here is from Microsoft and can be found on most any standard install of Windows. I was getting well over 5 hours of battery life running normal desktop applications like web browsing and watching videos. And with this screen watching videos or movies is a real treat.

Adobe continues to add value to the Elements

Adobe - Photoshop Elements & Premier Elements 2021 - Mac, Windows
The combination of Photoshop Elements and Premier provides a complete and comprehensive photo and video editor along with the tools to manage your media library. Adobe provides industry leading tools for all levels of content creation and the Elements package brings a big part of those tools to an affordable package. For those on a prior version of Elements this is their yearly update. Adobe also provides free trials of both the Photoshop and Elements software on their website if you want to test the waters before buying. As the leader in photo and video editing Adobe has continued to improve their artificial intelligence logic and editing wizards. Like before you have all of the tools most people would need to create advanced effects for their photos and video. Although they have gone to great effort to keep this process simple there is a learning curve but the effort can be very rewarding. Any photo and video software can handle the simple cutting and cropping. So if that is all you need these tools are easy to use and the media management tools are always welcomed. For those that want more advanced features they won't be disappointed. For those that don’t know where to even start the AI and Wizards go a long way to produce professional results. There really is something for every level of user here. For those that share their work with family or the rest of us Adobe continues to refine their publishing tools. Either together as a complete package or bought separately Adobe Elements software is highly recommended for all levels of users.

eero Pro 6 AX4200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Wifi System (3-pack)
I had a lot of hope for the erro Pro 2 Wi-fi 6 Mesh System however I think sometimes companies try to make their system too easy and restrict access to that end. The erro comes in a big box and the presentation is very good. You get the three mesh devices, three power adapters, one ethernet cable and some readme cards. The mesh devices have a good heavy feel to them and include a USB Type-C power port and two gigabyte ethernet connections. There are no physical buttons on the Mesh devices. The three readme cards get you started on the actual setup. The first thing you need to do is download software from the Apple or Google play stores so you can connect to the Mesh System through Bluetooth. I was a bit disappointed to see the Android version I would need was only getting a 3.6 rating by there user reviews. For hardware without physical buttons good software is critical. The setup process is actually ok but you never get a sense of what is happening until it's done and you're moving on to the next steps. I always find that frustrating, especially when it takes longer than you expect or doesn’t complete the task at all. By default the erro Pro wants to be your only router and has features for advanced security as a month long trial or for a monthly subscription. For $2.99/mo or $29.99/yr you get an advanced security package, safe filtering, ad blocking, activity center and weekly insights. For $9.99/mo or $99/yr your plan also provides a 1Password account, encrypt.me VPN and Malwarebytes. All of these might be a value add but at this price level I think they could have at least provided a longer trial period. Also without this monthly subscription the default features are really very limited. And this is my biggest gripe with the eero Pro. The default software is very limited and I think in an effort to keep it simple they have neglected more advanced users or those with networks that do not want the erro Pro operating as both the router and Wi-Fi. Unfortunately this limited visibility to the advanced settings of the Mesh System seems to be all too common in today’s consumer networking software. So this gripe isn’t something new that erro is doing. I have a high end router and many wired devices. The erro Pro is capable of handling my network setup and could replace my existing router but I want the advanced feature of my router that the erro Pro hides. To get the erro to work in my system I must first set it up without my router connected and then set the erro Pro in bridge mode. This was very frustrating partly due to the lack of any status update from the software of the changes I made until it was done. After several reboots and almost residing myself that I would need to contact eero support I was successful. So in my setup the erro just replaces the existing Wi-Fi and my existing router is still in use as is my wired network. This process would not have been so frustrating had there been a reset button on the #1 Mesh device or if the software did a better job of reporting what it was doing. But with some trial and error I was able to get this setup exactly how I wanted. The Wi-Fi in my existing router is not Wi-Fi 6 but it is very good and has given me the maximum 320 mbps internet speeds provided by my internet service provider. Recently I have been using the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. The Quest 2 supports WI-Fi 6 and I have been using it for playing game wireless from my PC. So the faster my speeds and the more stable my connection does greatly benefits my gaming quality. My original Wi-Fi reported connection speeds of 866 mbps to the headset. The software connection to the erro Pro 6 reports speeds of 1200 mbps. This is quite a big leap and would not be possible with my original Wi-Fi. The connection has been rock solid and I am very pleased. I have also discovered that my almost two year old Samsung Galaxy S10 supports Wi-Fi 6 as did both of my two gaming computers. One I built this year and one is over two years old. So I am better able to use this faster Wi-Fi than I expected. If the eero Pro would have Pro level software I would have been very pleased. If your needs are plug and play and you don’t mind paying a monthly fee this is a good device. If your needs are total control over your network configuration this is a much harder device to recommend. Yes, it can be adapted to pretty much any network configuration but the software makes this much harder than it needed to be. I would have also liked to have access to the Mesh System from a browser and not only through the cell phone software.

Does this have cherry mx keyboard
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.
