GREAT Value; Fantastic presentation tool
on March 20, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
In today's digital age, most of presentations are done via devices. And even with the biggest of tablets, still need to project.
This projector does the job great. This isn't really for the home-theater buff. This is for the non-profit, or small business, or the guy that just needs to project once and a while.
VERY easy to setup. Plug in, connect laptop or other device, turn on and boom... you have a picture.
VERY easy to setup. Plug in, connect laptop or other device, turn on and boom... you have a picture.
Auto adjusts to level as best it can, and provides easy adjustment buttons and tools. Allows you to flip and rotate the image too, depending on how you plan to project.
3300 lumes is pretty darn bright, and you won't have to turn the lights out in the room.
THE ONLY negative, is that the optical zoom, is a little on the low side. for bigger displays you are going to have to give the projector some room to project... But at this price point, that isn't all that bad.
Comes with a simple carrying case, which is a plus.

This is a mini powerhouse in a compact size.
Great and loud sound from your phone, or other blue tooth connected device.

The outside is great to look at... Good color, shape, and design. The lighting effects, which you can adjust to your liking or just turn off if you want, are a very nice touch.

Conceputally Great; But Needs More
on March 12, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Conceptually, this is exactly what every home needs. In today's age of our fully connected home, we need a device similar like this to provide a first line of defense. This will NOT replace your Anti-Virus/MalWare, and most certainly does not eliminate the need for common sense and diligence on your part as a user.
However, it will help close some gaps on hardware and users that are not 100% up to date and use good online techniques.
This system does get complex to use, sometimes a lot of steps to get things working completely. First of all, it does not work in a setup like my home. I have a more complex setup, with a dedicated router, switches, different devices for DHCP control, and a multi-node eero system. I had to work around some of those issues, to get this up and running.
This system is BEST designed for someone that has a SINGLE WiFi/Router setup, which 80% of the users shopping at BestBuy will have.
Other Negatives:
- One to Three different apps needs to be installed on your mobile device, to FULLY utilize the system....
- Does NOT filter websites, for iOS (Apple Devices), which is very disappointing.. that is a critical feature for our house.
- Takes multiple steps to setup, and can take a lot of time if you have many devices.

Pro's
- Has a good WiFi performance, comparable to other WiFi routers
- Does work well to control Device Time and limits (aka, you can block users from certain hours of the day)
- Some configuration can be done via a full web page, so you can adjust remotely (aka if you are at work or traveling)

it is also visually appealing, good look for something sitting on your counter.. modern in appearance.
Despite it's overly complex setup which will overwhelm many people, this is a great step forward in this type of technology and a good foundation for the next versions.

Fanstatic Simple and to the point
on March 9, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Overall this is a great set of headphones. Lightweight, easy to wear and setup.
- Takes about 30s to get this connected to any of your mobile devices, or a computer that supports blue-tooth. (Take you more time to read the instructions, then it does to setup).
- Loud... for a small to medium size of headphone, these pack a punch right out of the gate
- Ear pieces rotate, which make it GREAT to store FLAT in a backpack or a drawer, or while on a shelf during charging.

Maybe be a bit large for smaller children, but teenage and above should be fine in size.
Cons:
- The headband is a bit stiff, and doesn't flex much.
- Took a few seconds for it to power up, and the LED's are on the size, while the button is on the bottom. Just took a moment to realize it did turn on.
- These are NOT really designed to work out... these are to enjoy music, audio with while you are out and about, maybe at a desk. these are a bit bulky for jogging or any intense work outs.

Heart Pumping; Track it
on February 20, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Given the time of year, I haven't been able to check out all the awesome features this wearable has. (too cold to really go distance outside right now).
It is easy to wear, and based on comparison with other devices... it measures out my heart rate. You can setup interval settings, which has been EXTREMLY beneficial for indoor training. (Great on the indoor bike).
For a health/wearable; it feels more secure then my Gen 1 Apple watch, and not as top heavy (more balanced).
For those planning to wear this all day: It will track your daily HR, your steps, and estimate your calorie burn... It also has communication sync with your watch, that is adequate... (Incoming Call, Text, and Schedule notifications)
I am EAGER for the weather to turn consistently, so I can check out the other features: GPS, POI Notification (great for bike trail layouts), and SWIMMING usage...

Easy, Simple, Set and Forget

Everyone needs system protection software... We all get lazy and just click away sometimes (even those of us that do this for a living.
Simple download and install, able to use on ALL my devices. Catches things you don't even know could be a problem. Sometimes gets a false positive here and there, but those are easily addressible.
If you have a device connected to the internet, then you need a good piece of protection software, and this one is solid and does the job well.

Best Tool to fix and combat the computer nasties
on January 15, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Plain and simple, I have been using Malwarebytes for almost as long as I can remember... I have used it to restore my computer to health, after it has gotten spyware or malware.
Over the years, it has kept up on curve with those that are out there trying to do your computer harm.
EASY to use... Just let it run, and it will either auto-cleanup, or give you the options to do so.
This paid-for version (There is a free version you can try out), allows you to run 24-7, so it stays up to date, and continue to monitor in the background.
They are CONSTANTLY updating the definition file, to stay up on what ever is coming out there.
Traditional "Virus" are not really a problem today... why, because everyone has anti-virus software. the bad-guys are not writing "virus" programs, they are writing programs that spy on you, or that want to lock you out, or get you to pay for something that is going to do nothing but get rid of the message that THEY put on your screen.
TRY Malwarebytes for FREE first, and then come back and get the paid for version if you are happy with what it does for your computers

Very straight forward, and quick
on December 28, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
This is as straightforward as it gets. A device that has a single task, and does it well. If you need to scan often, this small profile scanner will get the job done. When closed, this device is about the size of a standard tissue box. with the doors open (to feed in and out receipts, it is a little bigger). Connects via LAN, USB, or WiFi. So can connect to just about any computer or mobile device.
Drop the pages on (up to 40-50 at a time, depending on thickness), and let it scan away. you can add more and keep on adding in one continuous job.
Does Black and White and Color.... Easy software, easy installation.
Pros: Small in size, looks slick when there on the desk.
Fraction of the size of multi-function printers
Connects via all three popular connection methods

Cons: If doing individual receipts, the paper size shifts between different types of receipts.. can be tedious
- Can't use staples or taped documents (IE, can take your receipts and attach them to a piece of paper)

Coooool light, nice addition
on December 12, 2017
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So this light is a simple and complex as it can get at the same time. Simple to setup (open box, screw in bulb, plug in, add to app), Simple to use. Philips HUE app, or several third party apps, and you can completely use this light.
The large gum-drop shaped glob, disperses the light all over the room, and looks pretty nifty on your desk, or table.
Pros: Easy to setup and use... no issues at all. Connects right to your Philips Bridge (sold seperately). Bright, modern, and just down right an eye-catcher
Con: The lightbulb included is locked into the "cool" daylight colors, this isn't a full Philips Hue light bulb.. So no reds, greens, purple, orange. White and light blue is the range.
Pro to counter the con: The bulb isn't fully integrated and locked in, so you could swap it out for a different Philips Hue smart bulb if you wish.

As soon as you open the box to this blender, you realize: IT WAS DESIGNED FOR ONE SINGLE PURPOSE.
This blender, is very straight forward and simple. Container, blade, motor. That's it. There are not 100 different attachments. There are not 20 different tops or containers. It is simply to blend your drinks and soups.
A good sized container, with an integrated blade, sits right on top of the motor. Multiple speeds available as well as a pulse. Crushes and blends ice and other frozen items with easy.
Smaller then some of the other named brands of blenders, this should fit on most counters without taking up a lot of space.
It has a CLEAN button. So you put some water and soap in the blender, and hit the CLEAN cycle, rinse out, and you are on your way.

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

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
