Good for a basic electric razor or 2nd travel one

So having used Norelco shavers for a very long time, was looking to add this one for my travel bag.
The good: It can be used Wet or Dry, Completely cordless (when in use), so can be used in the shower as well as at the sink. Light weight, and had some power to it. Comes with a relatively small charger, and a carrying bag, and a solid cover for the blades.
The not-so-good: I found it to be a little loud while shaving, which when compared to my 9000 series shaver, was a little off-putting. It seemed to grab and cut a little more aggressive, but still provided a close shave with no skin issues.
Overall, it will do what I wanted it to do: Be that shaver for my travel kit, so I can leave the more frequently used (and more higher end) 9000 shaver at home.

Simple, Easy, and Powerful

So if you don't know of AVG as an Anti-virus program, let me fill you in. For the longest time AVG was the absolute BEST... FREE.... anti-virus that you could obtain. It also was pretty much the only anti-virus that was worth anything, on the MAC platform.
So if you want to try out AVG, go ahead... they readily give you the anti-virus piece for free. And once you see that, you will then really want to explore this Ultimate version.
First once you upgrade to the paid, ultimate version... you get access to the other security products.
Let's talk about the interface: Large, no tiny print, and very straight forward to understand. Simple, direct, and clear. Very little chance to mis-understand what it means, or what pressing a button will do.
now, I have not purposely tried to install a virus or Mal-ware on my computer while running this to see if it worked... I trust that it does because I still don't have one on there (verified by other programs that I trust).
The TUNE-UP add on is a great little tool, to help get rid of some of the bloat that ALL our computers get over time. Uninstall procedures of apps, don't always clean everything up. A small little utility you were trying, and foot... bogs down the system. Tune-Up will help you there.
My FAVORITE addition with Ultimate, is the VPN tool. I use this via my iPhone, in order to securely connect back to my region of choice. So if I am traveling for work, but want to appear to another application or device as being in my home area of Chicago, I can do that.
If I am on a public wifi, and want to obscure my connection in case someone is sniffing the connection, I can use this for secure banking or even simply email.
This Ultimate subscription, allows you to install it on 5 different computers and devices... so for most families this works great.

Fantastic; perfect for multiples

Light weight, clear as a bell, thin, just what a multitasker or power user needs
So this monitor fits the bill for just about everyone. It’s wide screen, yet practical size leaves you with a ton of options for use
A solo monitor, great crisp picture. Quick response will provide you the perfect HD quality picture for your desktop or added screen to laptop
I added it to my laptop, using a third party stand.. I am able to use it vertical so I can see longer documents and software code.
If you pair this with a two arm mount or even a four arm mount... you can have a very inexpensive elaborate display
The monitor is very light, vesa mount compatible. Long cord on the monitor, two hdmi and one vga connection, so a ton of option

it is sad to say, that in today's world... we can't be too safe.. cameras like this are a necessity.
This one will make a good first camera, or an extension to another system.
The setup is relatively easy, a little interesting at one point with the sound sendup, but other then that pretty straight forward.
One BIG mis on this camera, it runs on the 2.4ghz wifi network. it may require you to get another router, that can be placed closer to your camera to get solid connection. However, you do have an option to hard-wire the camera (ethernet cable). But it doesn't look like it support Power over ethernet (POE). So you would need to run two wires
One BIG gain on this camera, no service plan. The video is stored locally on an SD chip, but can be accessed via the internet.
Picture quality is pretty good, and should serve just about everyone's purpose.
General installation is easy shouldn't take much time or tools.
So for the price, you get great value with this camera, and some sanity and security

Very Solid, Easy to Use
on October 18, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
So now a days, blenders are used for all sorts of things. Sauces, smoothies, mixed drinks, chopping, and so on.
This blender is smaller then most, which may work perfect for your works space. The larger pitcher, is made of very solid/thick glass. It is a little heavier then most blender pitchers because of that.
The top allows steam and heat to be released while blending, while keeping all the contents in... that is good when you are working with some warm/hot foods.
The base is a very bright brushed finish, looks really stylish on your counter. Very few buttons to figure out, makes it a piece of cake to work.
The BIG bonus is the very large smoothie cup. The same base fits in it, and gives a. BIG mixing surface to work with. Smoothies from fresh fruits, to power mixes... will work perfectly... and it is much larger then one of the other leading bands... So for that power work out, or the replacement lunch... this will work perfect. I would have liked it to come with two, but hopefully that will be an option to buy an extra.
So Pros: Blade is interchange able, relatively quiet to use, and easy to use. Big Smoothie Cup, steam vent
Con: The thick heavy glass, may pose a challenge for some.

There are some very good things about this monitor, but also some downsides.
From a setup point of view, doesn't get any easier. takes about 3 minutes from unpacking to up and running... nothing to it.
It has 2 HDMI inputs, and one classic-VGA port.
The screen is big and bright.
The screen is big and bright.
Now though, for a modern monitor of this size... some let downs
The maximum resolution is 1080p... 1920 x 1080. for some people this is perfect. but for someone thinking of going higher, just isn't going to happen with this.

No native USB-C or Display Port inputs, for MacBooks and other laptops. So you will need an adapter of some sorts.
No audio output, or usb-ports.
The base itself is a little large, but open so you can put stuff on the desk. but there is no vertical adjustment... it is fixed hight.
Also no VESA mounting holes, so you can't add an arm or different bracket to this. So if you need to raise it for your head placement, then you are going to have to put it on a shelf.

Quality, but some quirks
on September 26, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic
from Tinley Park, IL
Any MacBook owner knows, that you will need some sort of Hub or Dongle for their new MacBook. While USB-C is the newest connection type, it is still taking time to get to all external devices. Also, the newest MacBooks, are void of the commonly available external monitor/projector connections such as HDMI.
We as travlers or office conference room users, need to have a quality hub/dongle to be able to function properly.
This Hub certainly fits that need, but has a few minor quirks for me.
First there is no doubt that this is quality made, it is not a cheap piece of plastic. The main hub, it's cable, and connector are all of high quality no question.
First quirk: The connector to the laptop. I am not sure why it needs BOTH USB-C ports, but it does. Which may cause a problem if future MacBooks change the spacing between the ports, or eliminates or moves them.
Related: The housing around the connectors, exceeds over top edge of the bottom portion of the MacBook. I have a clam-shell case on my MacBook, and while using this adapter, I can NOT leave the lid closed completely. It hits the clam-shell. This is a minor issue, and won't effect most.
Connection wise: There are two replacement USB-C ports on the hub, which take the place of the two that you just connected to on the MacBook. One is labeled as a power-passthrough, which is GREAT to connect your adapter to, so you don't need to connect it to the other side of the Mac-book (saving a port). The other is for Video/4K connections (or other USB-C connections).
Quirk: I wasn't NOT able to successfully connect my Thunderbolt compatible adapter/monitor to that port. When ever I connected it, my monitor would NOT sync properly, and would continue to cycle between connected and not connected. (LG Monitor, connected via a thunderbolt->USB-C adapter). It does however connect properly, when using the HDMI connection. but in my case, I then lose the ability to use the USB connectors on the back of the monitor.
The hard-wire network connection is fantastic for those environments, where WiFi isn't optimal. And should be in everyone's bag. The two USB-3 ports are easily used, and perfectly good addition.
I have not used the SD card slots yet, but anyone with a non-phone based camera.. will appreciate having the two slots right there and available.
At it's price point, it is a good option to purchase right when you purchase your MacBook. 100% of all MacBook users will need a device like this (or a different one that does 1 of the functions in the hub)... Grab it, and have it your bag/drawer, if you don't use it every day like I do.

Will take some time, but will be worth it
on September 23, 2019
Posted by: Ebonovic

So, it seems a little odd to put a white pill shaped device on your back... once you have it on... it is a good thing to be there.
So only a few days into using this, and I know it is going make some differences. I am a desk jockey and spend the vast majority of my day at a desk. My desk is not the most optimal positioned as well.
So with this little device, I mentally am making sure that I am taking the time to be up straight, which I can feel in my lower back and shoulders. The device then takes over and yells at me to do it as well.
So the app is pretty easy to use, and straight forward. it walks you through the easy setup, and gets you going with in a few minutes. and you can do your first training session at the same time.
Then as we go in the tracking mode, that is where I think most people will get the benefits. For me personally, the actual vibration of the device, I can barely feel. But what is nice, is it notifies me through my Apple Watch, which is great.
So almost like Apple reminding you to stand up, this device reminds you to sit-up, and is a nice addition.
I haven't yet been able to kill the battery, but I put it on the charger each night.
Pro's: small, lightweight... and adds to the health features of my iPhone/Watch space.
Con's: vibration on the device is sott for me, if it wasn't for the watch integration/notificaiton, I may miss most of notifications.
One big thing I would like to see in a future version... While the USB-C charging is nice, this should really take advantage of Wireless charging... be it with the case, or just directly on a wireless charger... this would make it sooo much easier, just to drop on the charger at the end of the day, and pick it up the next morning

For the serious coffee drinker

So if you frequently spend $6+ on a quality coffee or espresso... then consider this unit.
Out of the box it is almost jaw dropping with the shiny metal and rock solid construction. You may end up spending more time looking at it the first time then Actually using it
Easy to assemble. On a couple pieces need to be put in place and add water and you are ready to go. (Do highly recommend a cleaning before using and consuming just to be safe)
Lock and grind your grounds on the left with a full adjustability to pack them in.
Move to the right and select the style of coffee you want and brew. After you do it once or twice it will be a no brained
Steam milk with and included cup, and add it to your beverage
The top of the unit is larger then most to give you a place to put your cup, foaming pitcher, or your favorite additive right there
Easy to use water tank, complete removable for filling and cleaning if necessary
Grinder is not overly loud, but it isn’t silent
So you can get the quality of the fancy multiple-thousand dollar units right in this counter size unit for much less
There is a little bit of a learning curve on this unit. You will probably get frustrated the first time. Step back, try again. Once you know the steps it will make sense

What's great about it: Solid, stunning, quality, expansive
What's not so great: Learning curve
Pros: solid construction, great quality
Cons: little bit of a learning curve

I was already to buy this TV- seems to be GREAT price!
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.
