Great Little Machine; Know what you are getting
on July 1, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this is a sweet little chromebook. Perfect for the college student, someone on the go, or someone that wants a small machine for Web, Video, and other basic things.
Note... this is NOT a laptop, it is a ChromeBook.... and that is a BIG distinction. In a nutshell, this is a large Android device, with a keyboard (And touch screen).
It does NOT run Windows; It does not run MacOS... it runs the Android Operating system, and that is important... As all the programs you run are APPS, just like your phone or tablet.
But you get the built in Google Docs, and you can add Microsoft Office. There are 1000's of apps you can get. Netflix, Youtube, and Chrome web browser...
Fast, and quick... small and light weight... easy to use.
Screen flips over, and is a full touch screen tablet.
Nice keyboard, and touch pad mouse.

Very Good TV; Less Boxes; Great for CordCutters
on June 15, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So plain and simple, this is a next chapter in our television experiences... the built in Amazon Fire, now IN the TV... changes things a little. One less box, all integrated and tightly bound... wrapped up in a stunning picture and sound.
The remote is almost identical to your modern Fire TV remote. Has the Voice options, so you can control it via Alexa... you can also search and play content.
The TV starts right up into the Amazon Fire TV menu/screen. From there you have access to ALL of your setup content: DIRECTV Now, CBS Access, Netflix, NBC, History, Amazon Prime, etc... it appears anything that was available on Amazon Fire TV (Standalone) is available here...(I haven't found anything that isn't).
You also have access to external boxes, via 3 HDMI inputs (on the LEFT side of the TV)… 4k UHD ready, gives you a STUNNING picture.
Dolby kicks out the sound in good fashion, and this TV can get LOUD.
Very light... especially for 50"... while one person COULD mount it by themselves, make it easy... use two. But this TV has to be at least half the weight of my 6 year old Sharp 43" that it is replacing.
Takes about 5+ minutes to get the software updated when you first start. I used a HARDLINE ethernet connection (Because I had one). So I didn't try the Wireless, but it is there.
So for the most part, all positive.
My two negatives, and why I gave it 4 stars.
My two negatives, and why I gave it 4 stars.
First: If you are not a pure cord-cutter, and still use external devices (like a DIRECTV box) as your primary source of video... you need to use the OEM TV remote, each and every time you start to select the HDMI input.
Second: The power cord is short, about 6ft. depending on your mounting situation, this may lead to problems. Upside, it is removable, thus you can get a bigger one from Amazon or somewhere else.

A body camera, for the rest of us
on May 31, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Very simple, this clip on camera will take snap shot (and some video, without audio)…. and store it, and then transfer it to a connected mobile device when in range.
The picture quality is pretty high for a camera of this size.
It takes 3 different levels of Clips/pictures, and at various time intervals. You are not going to "pose" often for this camera, this is going to be a wear as you go, and see what it captures type of camera.
It takes 3 different levels of Clips/pictures, and at various time intervals. You are not going to "pose" often for this camera, this is going to be a wear as you go, and see what it captures type of camera.
1/4th of the size of the popular sports camera, and about 1/10th of the price. so this is something that you can wear while active and doing things, and kinda hope you capture images that are what you want.
As third party vendors make different holders for it, it will solve some of the problems I have with it: Very easy for the pictures to be tilted, and not level. (even though there is a level indicator in the app). but out of the box, the included clip holder works pretty well.
Another minor downside, and I know it is the next generation... is that this devices uses the newer USB-C connector. Not an end of the world, but not using the USB-Micro connector... you will need to make sure you keep track of the included charging cable, or start to stock up on some extra USB-C cables.

This thing is KILLLER!!!!
on May 31, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So right out of the box, this thing is impressive. It size and design, and material... all just top notch. But the important part, how does it perform. This is one of the best sounding "Bluetooth" speakers I have ever tried. Played a popular movie soundtrack, and the power you get is fantastic.
Deep base that you normally don't see in these devices. multile different input styles. and an interesting Karaoke mode, that does a fairly good job of taking any song and making it a Karaoke song.
We are replacing our portable PA system, with this unit... and I got the green light, to purchase a second one to use the linked speaker feature.

Loud and Light

These are one of the better completely wireless headsets that I have tried.
Great sound... doesn't have very deep base, but given the size.. that is understandable. Very lightweight... easy to fit in the ear, and clip into the lobe.

shaking my head, doesn't come loose. took on a bike ride, and was totally fine. Simple charging case; probably it's only downside... if you lose the case.... you will have real problems charging this.

Tap on NFC-compatible Bluetooth devices to connect and go with these Sony wireless headphones. Their noise-cancelling technology keeps you focused on your music, while their Ambient Sound Mode mixes in voices and other external sounds you need to hear. Sweat and splashes are not a problem for these water-resistant IPX4-rated Sony wireless headphones.

AWESOME Sound; but logistically not perfect
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So like any Bluetooth headset, this is a piece of cake to setup.
Start Pairing (single button), and then match on your device... done. good to go. Power is by the standard Micro-USB

The AUDIO on these are loud, and clear. The noise canceling was very good. I was able to hear CLEAR music, while I was cutting the lawn (with an electric lawn mower).
The downside; the volume, charge, connector portion of the device is bulky... It was dominant on my left side, and was pulling the wire that way the entire time using it. Often catching on my shirt, and pulling out one (or both) of the ears.

Nice Machine; with 1 big flaw
on April 26, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So I would give this a 3.5 if I could, but have to round down on it.
The ACER machine is a NICE machine. It has a moderate sized SSD hard drive, and it is very quick to boot up.
The ACER machine is a NICE machine. It has a moderate sized SSD hard drive, and it is very quick to boot up.
Performance is quick and very functional. Most games intitial tested with it, have played just fine.
The first .5 start deduction; is on the screen. Thre is almost a 3/4" to 1" bezel all the way around the screen... so looking at the laptop from teh outside, you would expect the screen itself to be bigger. It is still a good sized screen, but would have been much better if the screen was almost edge to edge.
The BIG deduction; is on the one component you are going to use the most. The trackpad, is just bad. You have to press fairly deeply/hard, to get it to register the click... and is almost TOO sensitive, gental motions with the finger is causing the mouse to jump all over.
It is easily addressed, by using an external mouse.. but that may not be an option for everyeone.
Overall, this is a pretty good laptop, I just really wish it had a higher end track pad on it.
Some other quick notes: No optical (DVD/BluRay) drive; that is fairly common but if you need it....
It has every connector; USB-C; USB3;USB2; HDMI; Hard-Line Ethernet; and SD Card Reader
Comes with a nice soft carrying case as well.
Uses a larger power adapter; due to the power demands o fthe laptop.

Great mouse, with a lot of options...
on April 16, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So while this is promoted as a gaming mouse, it is also good for your daily use. Wireless and the ability to charge right on a Qi compatible charger, makes this maybe the last mouse you will need to purchase.
Quick response, which is critical to gaming.. is there. no issues with the mouse responding to the movements. Many extra buttons so you can program them, to what YOU need to win in the game.
Comfortable in the hand, large area, so your hand can rest on the mouse...
If you are tired of the stock OEM mouse that came with your computer... this is a solid contender.

Looks big, but not so bad... Charge a PLUS
on April 12, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So do you have one of the newer mobile phones that support wireless charging? Or really any modern mobile phone?
Well then you get to double dip on this charging MousePad.
When we got the box, it was MASSIVE for a "mouse pad"... really worried at first. After getting it out of the box and hooked up, really wasn't so bad.
Good surface the Corsair Gaming Mouse to be utilized, AND have your phone charging on the side. Fully support iPhoneX/8 natively, and has adapters to use for iPhone 5,6,7. Should work with Android phones as well, that support wireless charging, or you could use the adapter.
This is a great option: Keep the mouse charged over night, without thinking about it. Get your phone up to 100% while you are using the computer/gaming... Win/Win
So don't let the size on the shelf scare you away.....
As a mouse pad... well it simply does it's job. provides a smooth large surface for the optical mouse to work perfectly on.

Small, Powerfull, Quality, just a bit short
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this is my second Sony Bluetooth speaker.
The quality of this series, is just amazing.... these are NOT your average, dollar store speakers. Visually appealing, the covers, and connectors, buttons... all top notch... You may not think that is important, but after a while you will see a difference.
Very cool feature, now that I can try it out... the linking of speakers... I now have TWO speakers, linked together, playing audio from one source. This opens so many options. I am planning to even use these for a presentation from my laptop... no need for the big booster amp system.
The ONLY downside for this one, even though it has BASS emphasis.. Compared to it's big brother: SRS-XB31, the BASS isn't as noticeable. MUCH better then some of my other Bluetooth speakers, but compared to the SRS-XB31... not as good.
So if you can't afford, or don't want the bigger SRX-XB31... this is a GREAT option.

3D Ready

Per Samsung's site, it states as 3D Ready.
Which means you just need the other equipment (separate), glasses, Blu-ray player, and material source
Glasses are about $20 each.

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
