Laptops have come a very long way... This is a GREAT laptop.
So I will not review Windows 11, and what it does.. there are 1000's of laptops that compare Windows 11 to alternative options. If you chose Windows as your OS, then consider this laptop.
Super light weight, very easy to carry in the provided bag, or your own. Is not abnormal sized, so can easily fit into a backpack, side bag, tote. Also is a nice size, that if you need to put it in a drawer for security purpose, super easy to do so.
Now the LIGHT weight also has a bit of a downside, as it does slide and move with little force, so on a lap or on a slick table/desk surface, it may move on you a bit.
The Screen is big and bright, nearly edge to edge, and very crisp and clear.
It is touch responsive, so that is nice, if you want to use those features. I typically use the touch pad, or an external mouse, for most of my usage. But the touch is quick to respond, and act.

The keyboard is your standard keyboard, with a modified number (a little smaller then some), but it is at least there, which a lot of laptops omit.
I LOVE the fact that this is a USB-C power cable. It is not a big brick of a charger, and since it is a USB-C you can get 3rd party alternatives that are even smaller, at a very inexpensive price. So you can leave this one with the bigger cords at home, and get a smaller one (Anker for example), with a quality cable for on the go, or have a set at a common location.
Battery life is solid, I used for several hours on a battery, much longer then I would ever really use it.
WiFi 7 is GREAT!!! if you have the matching compatible routers.. you can get 1g+ speed connections. But even when it connects to an older WiFi 6 or older, you are going to get impressive network performance.
Not affecting my score at all... but you need to be aware, modern laptops like this are not really upgradable. So be sure you are getting enough storage and memory for your needs. This is a good sweet spot for the VAST majority of people.
With the high performing WiFi and cloud storage, so many options for storage.
But this does have 4 USB ports (two USB-C and two USB3 ports), so you can add an external drive.

Good Printer; But... locked down
on June 7, 2026
Posted by: Ebonovic
In general, this a good printer.. especially at its price point.
However, the initial price is great, because they make it up in the ink costs.
However, the initial price is great, because they make it up in the ink costs.
First the positives:
EASY to setup, however, out of the box: WiFi only, does not come with a USB Cable. If you want it to be hard connected, you need to provide your own cable.

I have not setup an HP account in several years, so I can't comment on how the flow is today, but it was very simple to add to my existing HP account, and then get all the settings setup on my WiFi to print. I was able to print my first sample page, directly from my iPhone.
The printer is limited to a standard 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 or smaller paper. You can't use Tabloid or bigger paper.
The print quality is above par, and pretty good for a printer at this price point.
Relatively quick, and quiet to print. Fast responding to the request to print.

The scanner on the device is adequate for a single sheet scanner, for small projects.
And it can "fax" (does anyone remember what that is), but you have to use software based faxing software. it can't connect to a legacy phone line, thus if you really really need to fax things on anything of a regular basis, get a dedicated device, or consult how to setup a good eFax system.

But in general, as a printer... good enough for most usage nowadays, and quality is good for the price point.
My negatives.. it is consistent with HP and their HP+ path.
The ink and the subscription for ink.
The ink and the subscription for ink.
First, forget about using 3rd party ink. HP has this down to a science now to block all non official HP ink. In general, that is a good think, as knock off ink is terrible made in most cases, and will ultimately fail and screw up the printer, and void the warranty.
The down side, the non-subsription ink, is not inexpensive.
A set, that gets you about 100-150 pages of printing (black a the try-color) is going to be about $50.

You do get 3 months of the refill subscription, that will auto-ship to you, when it starts to detect you are low. And it does so pretty quickly (1-2 days before it thinks you will run out). The DOWNSIDE through, after the 3 initial months, even the cheapest plan, starts to add up.. and if you are not regularly printing, that can start to cost.
And those cartridges that you got, and may have not loaded yet, are no good after you cancel the subscription, they will NOT work... and you either then have to re-subscribe, or switch to non-subscription ink.
So most certainly review your usage, and do your math and your cost analysis.
The subscription prices are based on your monthly usage estimates as well.
Also it is very challenging to un-subscribe..

So recap:
Good printer, quality, performance and speed, that you expect from HP.
The ink is a big factor, between buying ink, or subscribing to ink... be sure you know.

Honestly, near perfect....
on May 14, 2026
Posted by: Ebonovic
This might be the last countertop oven/toaster/airfryer we need to ever get...
Let's just talk first about the construction and the look, just awesome.
This looks like an extremely high end appliance... not just a quick inexpensive cheap appliance. The stainless steel, the handles, the glass, everything... this is something you can leave on the counter all the time, and not worry about putting away when people come over.

The two cook zones are easy to use, you can do two things at once... I would recommend having them "close" in temperature, with the warmer temp on top... but it did work.
We have done the basics like larger bread and bagels, toasted great.
I have done my guilty pleasure, the rectangle Totino's pizza... cooked through, quickly, and crispy crust... (this is honestly going to be one that I do often).

Fry's in the air-fryer came out crisp and golden, and not oily.
We have had 3 or maybe even 4 air fryers before, so very familiar with how to use and how long it takes for things, and this unit fits right in.
I am not sure you are going to get a large poultry item in here often, I am sure a small Cornish hen will fit, but we didn't try... maybe in the future.
But my teenage kids even did a small batch of cookies.
Easy to clean too.. the trays in the bottom come out very easy, easy to wipe down.
racks and basket included, made it easy to try different things.

So not overly expensive for what you are getting, and you can then maybe get rid of that toaster. But this will work GREAT in small kitchens, or even a residence hall room at college if permitted.
For us, it sits on our full home counter and is a welcome addition to the kitchen, instead of warming up the big oven for small quick needs.

Breeze through everyday tasks on this 23.8-inch monitor with 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT), and T~V 3-star certification for eye comfort.
Posted by: Ebonovic
Very impressive monitor, at the price point, but for power users may be limiting.
So very good value, for a 24" 1080p monitor.
Great color, smooth video, and very responsive. I have older eyes, but I am not seeing any delays or lags, or shifts, or shadows... everything is bright, crisp and very well detailed displayed.
Great color, smooth video, and very responsive. I have older eyes, but I am not seeing any delays or lags, or shifts, or shadows... everything is bright, crisp and very well detailed displayed.
For myself, this has now become a 2nd monitor on my system, and I have rotated it on my mount (which is a standard VESA support), which allows me to have larger vertical space for my chats, emails, code, and even test environments (phone simulators).
I have connected it to my MacBook, using the appropriate HDMI cables, and it just worked perfectly out of the box.
So be sure to check the specs and know what you are getting... this is a 1080p monitor, capped at 1920x1080 resolution, and there is no audio output on this... so you will need a speaker or headphones if this is your solo monitor.
It comes with a very hefty and adjustable base (vertical, and the monitor can tilt)... but for me, for the size, I found the base a little large, but I already had a multi mount for monitors, and I just added it to that, so I could have my layout.
This would make a good option for laptops heading to college, paired up with a keyboard and mouse, this monitor would make a great option for that desk, so work can be done at a little larger size then a small 13-14" laptop monitor would.

Amazing Speaker, Challenging Software
on May 6, 2026
Posted by: Ebonovic
So... this review really is broken into 2 parts...
5 stars for the speaker and the hardware itself
1 star for the software connected to it... But since software can be updated and addressed, giving this 4 stars.

1 star for the software connected to it... But since software can be updated and addressed, giving this 4 stars.
I also obtained the HOME 400 Speaker as well, so been using these in together.
I set the 400 up first, so that included downloading the app, setting up the account, and getting that first speaker connected. Took some time, maybe about 10 minutes total. So if this is your first speaker, expect having to go through that. (my warning there, is that it doesn't prompt you for a WiFi network to use, it uses which ever one your phone is already on... so switch to your other network, if you have more then one. You can change it later)

You can change it later)
When I added this 200, it took maybe 3-4 minutes. It found the speaker really quickly and I it was adding it to my app and network, in just a couple clicks. At least for now, there was no firmware update for the speaker, so I was ready to go.
One small peeve, easily fixed on your own. This uses a pretty standard power cord, no bulk adapter (that is a 6 star in my eyes)... but the plug was not 90 degrees, given my installation the plug is behind a couch, I will need to get a new cord, or a 90 degree adapter, so that it is not bent by the couch... minor thing, but easily fixed on your own.
Now for the speaker itself... REALLY REALLY good looking. Optically this looks like a high end speaker. Great coloring, tight fabric, subtle button, and the light is not bright (you can turn it off). So this can easily sit on a cabinet, or in our case edge of a flat back couch.
It is not overly big, so this will also work great in an office or bedroom space wise.
3 quick programable buttons on the top (like a car radio), allows you to get to your quick selections instead of bring up the app.
Sound wise.. FANTASTIC... much more powerful than I expected for the size. Great audio, good to great base, and can get very loud.. Going to be a very nice addition in our room.
It has bluetooth connectivity as well for those devices, so everything doesn't have to be streaming.
I tried this with 2 different streaming services, and bluetooth... everything sounded great.
I tried this with 2 different streaming services, and bluetooth... everything sounded great.
Now my issues are with the HEOS app, and other.. Going to simply list the issues
- No Amazon Alexa support only Siri as a digital assistant
- Errors in the software trying to add iHeartRadio (it isn't using iHeart's authentication screen)
- No support for Apple Music, have to use AirPlay, which then requires the phone and device to stay on the network.
- After you figure it out, easy to setup zones and group play speakers, will be really good when you have 3,4,10+ denon devices.. .for a full immersive experience. But it takes a while to figure it out and use it.
- Volume settings are a little clunky
- Dashboard can be slow, especially if you add multiple services. (Amazon Music, took several tries to get it linked in)
- AirPlay support is up today, and allows you to send the audio perfectly sync to multiple devices, even other's that are not Denon
- Overall I find the Mobile app, to be lacking in features, and in some areas.. just .. why? (like the settings page for the Speaker Buttons... it's just a picture, and doesn't even tell you how to set them up... let alone allowing you to set them up right there... would be the perfect place for elaborate rules/setup)

As if it does.. I can see updating my home theater amp with a Denon, and maybe add a couple more of these 200's around the house.

Amazing HARDWARE, Challenges with Software
on May 5, 2026
Posted by: Ebonovic
The Audio quality and hardware are amazing, but the software is challenged.
So this really is a 5 star for the hardware, and 1 star for the software.
But since you can use the speaker without the software, and software can be fixed... instead of a 3, this is a 4.
So this really is a 5 star for the hardware, and 1 star for the software.
But since you can use the speaker without the software, and software can be fixed... instead of a 3, this is a 4.
Let's start with the really good.
The physical appearance of these speaker is stunning.
A lot of attention to detail (except one small thing, but you can fix it).
The soft material is tight, and the light in the front is not too much (can be turned off too).
Easy to access buttons, and this piece will be fantastic in most rooms.

This is the larger size speaker, so this will be for your main rooms, or basement. May be a bit big for bedrooms or offices..
The small detail, for me.. the actual cord/plug. Should have been a 90 degree plug, so that it can be plugged into tight spaces. Easy fix with an adapter, or replacing the cord since it is a standard connector into the speaker. No bulky adapters (YAH!)
Setup with the HEOS app, was pretty straight forward after you setup your account.
Walks you through the few steps to get it connected to your WiFi network.
So, first nit-pick... it doesnt' allow you to chose your WiFi network with the setup wizard, it takes what ever network your phone is connected to. You can change this later, after you set it up... but know this when you are setting up if you have multiple networks.

Also there is a LONG pause after the setup. the Software does tell you it can take 3 minutes (very specific). But there is no progress indicator or anything. It also doesn't directly prompt you to update the firmware of the speaker, that happens the next time you go into the application (which again, the setup process should handle that).
Now for the REALLY good.. the audio is stellar. Really Really good.
If there is any nit-pick, is the base may be too much at default and you have to tweak it down.

I tested 2 different streaming services (setup from the app), I tried two apps from my phone (using Airplay). Also connected bluetooth to a record player. All audio sources were really really good.
Love the audio, love that I don't need a separate sub-woofer... spectacular.
I also added a Home 200 series speaker as well to the network.
This is when things really got interesting (both good and bad).
This is when things really got interesting (both good and bad).
Using Airplay, I was seamlessly able to send my audio from my phone to both Denon speakers, as well as a couple others that I have on the network... and the audio was PERFECTLY insync. And that is great, when you are trying to create that whole home audio experience.
When focusing on just the Denon speakers, I could use the HEOS app, and create a group so that I can send the selected audio to both of them... again, perfectly in sync. This can become a very powerful feature if I had 4,5,6, 10 Denon items, which I may in the future... as you can then create zones and groupings, very easily.
So here are some of the flaws here..
It took a while for me to find the area to do the grouping (and I do mobile apps professionally, hence a lot of my criticism here). The icon wasn't appearing, I had to quit the app, and come back, and then find it in the bottom bar. It wasn't in any of the menus. The grouping I created, disappeared the next time I came back into the app... not sure if that was a glitch or a bug, or design.. but it was gone.

The grouping I created, disappeared the next time I came back into the app... not sure if that was a glitch or a bug, or design.. but it was gone.
Adding Audio services... I was able to add Sirius and Amazon.. but there were a lot of glitches.. Amazon look like it failed, but it in fact did work and was added. I still can not get iHeartRadio to add, despite me checking everything. The HEOS software is using its own portal to authenticate, not the iHeartRadio. There is no support for Apple Music or Audacy. To use either of those, I have to use Airplay, and use the iOS app.
There is a warning when adding music services, that it could slow down the main page and loading, as it is attempting to pull your favorites and show you a dashboard. There are other ways this could be solved, that would not impact the dashboard. So far, I don't see a lot of slowness, but can see where it will happen... especially if they start to add more support for other services.
Volume... so my two speakers were at different audio volumes (due to my trying things out). When I group them... it was "more than simple" to figure out how to change the volume on them independently. As if I was in group mode, the volume buttons on my phone, changed them both at the same time... took a moment to identify how to change each one solo.
Now for my biggest issue, and for me it is almost border line return till fixed (I am not), as I hope this can be addressed. Previous models of Denon speakers has direct native support for Alexa. So a google search, actually was saying it was supported on the 400. (obviously this is where Google AI is failing).
After trying to setup for over 2 hours (installing skills, thinking I solved it, and finding out no).. .Redit thread finally told me that it was dropped in this model. So the listing that "Virtual Assistants" are supported... right now that just means Siri. Which I can't readily use, as I have too many devices that respond to "Siri".
Not being able to talk to the speaker to start playing music, is actually a challenge for our home.
As everyone now has to have the app installed, and then take out the phone, start the music, etc.. For over 5 years, we just speak to our smart home and we can play music.

Yes, this is a "first world" issue, but this is a "first world" speaker.
Since I know this can be fixed via software, I hope this can be fixed... really really quickly.

Top of the Line... really doesn't get much better
on April 29, 2026
Posted by: Ebonovic
If you want to hear your game at it's best... and you don't want other's to hear it... and honestly you don't want to hear others... then this is the set for you.
This is a no joke top of the line gaming headset.
With the software and connections, you cn fine tune the audio to exactly how you want it.

Are your ears a little unbalanced, then it can be as simple as raising the volume on one side over the other, to achieve a perfect balance. Do you want more voice then background, or more base.. all of that is adjustable.
Hooks up quick and simple. Software is a quick download and install, and you are ready to go.
Nearly every game tried, improved in audio quality and performance, and really didn't hav to change much from default settings.

Friends on the other side, could hear my voice clear as day, no audio feedback, no bad sounds, great audio.
Long distance connectivity too. seems to be much further then other headphones, I can go all the way to our kitchen (a good 30ft away), and still have a connection.
What my family doesn't like, that is if I am wearing them outside my gaming area... I can't hear them. The noise canceling and suppression is fantastic.
It is pricey no doubt. But if you treat them right, you are going to get 2-3 years easily out of them, as most games an audio don't seem to be even taping into everything they can do.

The potential is there, but still limited
on November 18, 2025
Posted by: Ebonovic
An interesting adaptation to bring MetaAI a little closer to usage.
Let's start with the basics... this was realatively easy to setup. maybe took 15 minutes or so to get it all out of the packaging, connected, charged, and ready to use.
The app, was slightly out of date, I am sure they have fixed it by now... some of the steps were not the same as the software, but that is easily fixable with an update.
I LOVED the fact that I could change the voice to Peacemaker (John Cena)...that was really cool.
Taking still shots, and video.. super easy.. and what I will probably use this the most for.
Both with Voice commands, and the physical button.
Both with Voice commands, and the physical button.
Picture and Video quality was pretty adequate, given this isn't a multi-sense device.
The audio, is a little low in volume, as it sits outside your ears.
When I was playing audio, people near me where not able to hear it.. but I could hear it.
But in a louder setting, not very easy to hear (no good noise canceling).

But in a louder setting, not very easy to hear (no good noise canceling).
The transition glasses, did work. Took a few seconds, as you expect, but adequate as a pair of sunglasses.
I did find though after long usage, my eyes would strain a bit. I tried to use them for several hours, to see how long I could tolerate... after about an hour, I had to take a break.
Now, the AI/Meta features... This obviously is going to take more time.
Just using basic "what am I looking at"... sometimes it gave really amazing breakdowns, other times... I was wondering if I was looking at something that my own eyes couldn't identify.

I am looking forward to try this on my next trip to Mexico, to help me read some signs and other things.
Overal.. while I am giving it a 4, it is still going into the novelty category.
Going to continue to use them as sunglasses, and try to do more things... but with winter coming, won't be outside much exploring, so in the spring.

Will be interesting to see what they can do on a golf course
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great doorbell, and a security necessity
on November 1, 2025
Posted by: Ebonovic
I have had video doorbells now for maybe 8+ years, before they were common.
I am upgrading from a Gen 1, Nest doorbell, which is pre-google.

So while installation was pretty "easy", it is the reason for half a star deduction.
I remove my old Nest, and what was nice, is that the mounting holes, lines up perfectly. So no new holes to drill.

The simple wire clip, was so easy to use... just trimmed my old solid wire a bit, and we were up and running. I did NOT have to upgrade my chime sensor, as the old one was in place and still working just fine.
I added the 20degree block, so that it gives a better view of my doorway and part of my driveway.
My half star deduction, has to do with the locking/mounting screw. Even for small hands it is in a tight spot, and you have to get the doorbell PERFECTLY on the bracket, and slide it up.. just a "tick". That wasn't in the video, or text in the app about installation. That little bit of movement to lock the camera on the bracket, is important, for the screw to thread properly. I would recommend testing it out, BEFORE hooking up the wires, and mounting the bracket.
Integration into the Google Home app, was pretty straight forward... We already had the app, due to other products, and an account, so we did not have to set anything up. It did the wifi setup and software pieces, in under 5 minutes. We had to tweak some of the notification settings, and we off and running.
However, this is where my other .5 start deduction is. I understand why Google is sunsetting the legacy Nest app... however, I just don't like Google home interface. It is too busy, and doesn't get me RIGHT to my doorbell when I open it, because it shows me all my other devices. It's a nit-pick, but as a mobile software developer, I would really would have liked to see maybe a dedicated app JUST for the doorbell, and/or cameras.
The picture and audio quality is fantastic on the doorbell.. .so glad that we have updated.
A much clearer view then my Gen 1... and the audio is a LOT better.

So honestly, if you don't have a video doorbell... get one. They are sooo important nowadays.
This one is a great one to get. My minor nitpicks, are because I am a legacy user, and have some big hands/fingers, that just provided some minor challenges on the install.

Mixed feelings: Feels bulky, but prints great
on October 25, 2025
Posted by: Ebonovic
So I am really torn on this one. So going middle of the road.
Let's go from GREAT to frustrating.
So honestly, the PRINT quality is fantastic. Even on regular stock white paper, the photo print from my iPhone was stellar, and it wasn't even fine mode. No sample photo paper to try, and don't have any around at the moment, but will be getting some, and I can image the quality will get even better.
Prints VERY quick. Full 8.5x11 print, in what felt like under 1 minute, and the print started almost as soon as I hit print from my iPhone.
Good:
Setup was very painless with the iPhone app. I already had the app and an HP account, so that was quick for me... And then it immediately found the printer, used Apple's newest Accessory setup features, and I just had to pick the correct WiFi network. It was under 10 minutes, from unboxing, to setup, to printing.

WiFi signal, picked it up and seems to be strong. With my above average WiFi setup, going to be able to put this printer anywhere in the house
Showed right up on my iPhone to print with, so that is a big plus.
Fair:
Noise level, was hit and miss. On startup, this printer clanged and clunked a LOT and was loud.
When printing the sample pages, it wasn't as quiet as I hoped it would be.. .and I even hit "quiet mode", didn't do anything it seemed like. But when I printed the first real print, it was not overly loud.

Also fair, easy to scan. I rarely use scan features, maybe 10 times a year, but this was easy to use on my desktop Mac, just went right into scanning, and the quality was pretty good.
Sub-Par:
It just feels Bulky, and a little boxy. Taller than my other photo printer, and just felt "big" compared to some other printers. The provided cord is also VERY short, I will have to find a longer one, for most places I plan to put this.

2 cartridges for the ink... I get that this has a 3 month trial for insta ink, we will see how this goes. I don't like that the app tried to immediately to enter my credit card info so they can send me ink after 3+ months, I caught it and was able to go into the credit-card free trial, but they didn't make that default.
Super Frustrating:
I actually HATE the paper tray, seems too over engineered.
1) It can't be removed. I tried over and over to get it to completely come out, like most other printers, does not.
2) When putting int he 8.5x11, the tray will support 8.5x14, and there seems to be no spacer bar in the back to keep paper tight. Just odd.
3) Photo paper, on the top, seems to be limited in the number that can be added at once... will be testing that soon

But overall this paper tray situation, just seems so different then other printers, and over engineered, for no apparent benefit.
if you can get past the paper tray situation, and the bulky size, this may be a good printer for most people that need to print quality photos, this is going to be good. But I would NOT be using this for the research paper or other long documents.
Will be a good color supplemental printer for the house

Set up a gaming station with this LG 24-inch Full HD monitor. AMD Radeon FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing and stuttering, letting you play AAA titles smoothly, while the IPS display with a wide viewing angle delivers bright, vivid visuals from almost any direction. This LG 24-inch Full HD monitor has an antiglare coating for minimizing reflections.
Description says it’s compatible with Windows. Is it Mac compatible ? Can’t see why it wouldn’t be. But since they don’t specify it, I would rather confirm it is before ordering
Yes it will work with a Mac. If you have an older Mac with an hdmi output, you won’t need anything. If your Mac only has usb-c outputs, you would need the matching dongle

When door is open 90 degrees how far does the door extend beyond the side? Can it be installed flush against a wall on the hinge side?
It can NOT be installed flush on the right side. You need at least 2.5 inches to get the door to 90 degrees.
If you ever need to get a shelf out the door needs to open almost 180 degrees
