Eye Catcher, and is a beast
on August 17, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic

So this is by far one of the most powerful laptops I have used. with 16gb memory, it is going to be able to run every program you can throw at it.
Video editing is smooth and easy. Game play with the nvidia card is sold. Windows 10 is Windows 10. This system has the power to run it smoothly... with little delay and a quick boot up.
Bigger display screen, but not too much... you won't need a special bag to carry this. The adapter, for me is a little large and bulky... but I have seen worse.
The only real negative (and this is probably just me), is the trackpad. I am just not a fan of them, and haven't used many that perform to my satisfaction.... easily fixed with an external mouse or trackpad. Which most gamers will do anyway.
The Lenovo brand name, is changing... this is a great system in the home/game usage, away from the older business laptop. This is NOT your office laptop. this is a great machine for the gamer, college student, or someone that needs processing and video power on the go.

This was my first Lenovo laptop, outside of the business space. The quality of the Lenovo line, carried directly into this gaming laptop.
Slick and sleek design on the outside. Unique screen hinge area (note, this laptop is NOT a 2-1, it will not become a tablet)… but this little adjustment, gives a space for a TON of external connectors, without making the sides of the laptop cluttered.
USBv3 compatible, and USB-C ports. External monitor connectors, so you can add that other screen for your game play.
Adapter is fair sized, not as bulky as some other gaming laptops, but not as tiny as some of non-powerful laptops.
The components in the systme are quick, boots fast. Windows 10 functions very fluidly. Was able to play several of the top games that we have... Coudln't really even notice that it was a laptop after awhile, when using an external monitor.
1TB hard drive gives you a lot of space.
Ultimately this is going to be my portal video editing laptop, giving me some freedom to not have to be on the home desktop to do that work.

I woudl give this a 4.5, but it isn't an option.
Three issues for myself:
- The Trackpad, honestly if you are going to use this for game play you are going to want to add an external gaming mouse with the extra buttons and quicker response. I personally added a wireless trackball, so I can use it the way I need to.
- Software pre-install bloat. There is a LOT of extra software pre-installed on this laptop, you may spend a bit of time taking off stuff that you don't want.
- Adapter connections. It is weirdly positions, in between several external connector ports, and not to one side or the other... I have found myself a couple times trying to put the power into the wrong port. Maybe even just a simple color adition (eveything is dark black), would help with that.

Good set; one downside (humor)
on August 2, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
As wireless headphones go, these are up there in quality... Large over the ear set... with good battery life. Easy to recharge, Easy to connect, and easy to use.
The Dolby Atmos; I had to test it with a movie, and it does work... maybe not as good as my home Atmos system, but it does work on the smaller headphone scale.
So the only downside on this, and I mean this humorously..
When you have these on, and have a little bit of volume... you can't hear much else if anything.... Family members have to yell, and get visual contact with the wearer, because they get so immersed .

Add BlueTooth to just about any AV device
on July 3, 2018
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So we all have bluetooth headphones; but we use them with our phones and tablets... With this device, you can now use them with your TV, older stereo, DVD player, etc....
So I used these by adding them to my DIRECTV receiver in my workout room. By adding them, I am able to use my bluetooth headphones, while on my exercise machines. So I don't have to crank the TV up to hear it over the machines, and wake up the house.
Connects via Optical connections or RCA.. I used the Optical, and it works very well. The range is very good too, I was able to get it to go 50 ft... because I ran out of basement to go further.
Easy addition for anyone's bedroom, exercise room, office, or even outside on a deck.

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.

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

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.

BUT - IT DOES NOT HAVE 3D. Luckily, this was pointed out by the salesman. He told me that he had even called Samsung to check, and there is a misprint in the specifications,

3D Ready
January 28, 2016
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.

Keep enemies out of your room with this fully animated Spider-Man toy. His LED eyes light up when he detects movement with his motion-detection technology, and speech recognition lets him engage in two-way conversations. Hook this Spider-Man toy up to the Internet via Wi-Fi for new adventures, missions and updates.
So for $149 you get a colored Spere that makes noise and lights up.... is it really THAT cool?
Actually... Yes... It is a just a fun toy/gadget to have on your desk. Setup up some alarms, goof around with.

Is it worth the Ninja Coffee Bar Thermal Carafe System, Stainless Carafe (CF 097) over the CF091? The CF091 has a glass carafe than can stay heated in the warming plate vs the CF097 that has a thermal carafe. Trying to decide if it's worth the extra $$
That really depends on what you are going to use the Thermal carafe for... if you are going to take it with you, or travel... or take it and put it out on a table... then yah... it would e worth it. But if you are really never going to move the Carafe from the heating pad, except to pour... then no need.
