steroids for your older PC/Notebook
on September 11, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Having a laptop at work that has a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a spinning disk and also having several early generation SSD drives I use for video production, it is a no brainer to upgrade a hard drive in an older laptop, it increases performance and breathes new life into the device. Part of the reason iPads, tablets and mobile devices start “instantly” or restart quickly is because they do not use spinning disks, they use solid state memory. When you replace a traditional hard drive with one without moving parts you wind up with quick startup times (2 minutes down to 15 seconds) when booting/starting up a Windows 10 device. Just the fact that you are getting much quicker access to read and write file operations on an SSD leads to a large performance gain. The Western Digital - Blue PC SSD 500GB literally was simple to install in my laptop, replacing a Western Digital 750GB 5400rpm Hard drive which was originally installed from the factory in my HP Envy 360 laptop. Now if you are not comfortable with opening a PC (or laptop) and getting into the innards of a device then this is not a self-installable item. Especially if you want to replace the existing hard drive which contains the operating system (Windows). Within the SSD drive packaging there is information on how to download the imaging utility that can “clone” your existing drive to your new SSD. The Acronis software is fairly easy to use, however it does require some additional equipment to clone a device (a hard drive enclosure for your old drive, or SATA to USB adapter). Again if you are a novice, don’t expect to purchase a new SSD and successfully tackle this type of project.
As for the drive itself, it comes with no mounting materials, adapters or connectors other than the standard SATA interface connections. The performance of the drive itself when compared to other SSD drives is mediocre, especially PCIe or NVMe M.2 SSDs. However for the price, the Western Digital - Blue PC SSD 500GB drive is a decent value and is a relatively easy way of increasing performance of your PC or laptop.

quality product, build and performance
on August 15, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
I found this BestBuy exclusive very appealing, a Sonos & Sonance Outdoor Speaker Streaming Audio Bundle with xPress Audio Keypad. I have heard good things about Sonos products, they are well designed, aesthetic and they perform. So when the package arrived I was amazed at the size and weight of this bundle. Note: that these are not wireless speakers, they require a wired connection from the amp which is the core component of this system to the speakers. All the streaming capabilities take place from the amp and are connected to the speakers with standard speaker wire (not supplied). The amp attaches to your home network via WiFi or an ethernet cable. Unlike the speakers, the amp IS NOT weather proof. So essentially if you are going to use the speakers outdoors you need to run speaker cable. This could be an issue for some, however since we are in the process of building a new house I will have the screened in patio wired for speakers (and possibly a subwoofer, as the amp has an output). Regardless you need to be cognizant of these facts. In some cases, a quality Bluetooth speaker might be more appropriate for your needs. For true audiophiles, wired connections are far superior for high fidelity and given the design of this solution (you are not transmitting a Bluetooth signal from your mobile device to the speakers, but controlling the amp remotely) it provides the best fidelity (I will not get into a debate on the quality of streamed/compressed music).
Setup is fairly easy, you have to download the iOS or Android app and create a Sonos account if you do not already have one. Once you sign into your account you can setup the AMP to connect to your home network. Also you can setup your music services, I had no issue setting up Spotify and iHeartradio, I was not able to setup my SiriusXM account though. As soon as the unit was setup it performed an automatic firmware upgrade for the AMP unit.
As for sound quality, the speakers are powerful, yet crisp and clear. The speakers are rated for weather and are attractive with innovative speaker wire posts and brackets used to mount the speakers. Overall the system is a quality product which has a lot of capabilities. I did not have the opportunity to use the xPress Audio Keypad, however it provides remote control capabilities for the amp.

where did the cleaning solution go ?
on July 30, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Just got done using the Rug Doctor - FlexClean Upright Deep Cleaner and overall not terribly impressed. The unit come basically assembled, you just need to attach the handle, fill the tank and go. It has three different settings that control the amount of solution that is applied to either a floor (less solution) normal (for carpet) and heavy duty cleaning (lots of solution). We used the standard setting on our not overly dirty carpets (we don’t have pets). First off the unit is loud and heavy, theoretically it should be maneuverable since it has a handle that provides a lot of directional ability. However the unit is so heavy that it was difficult for my wife to push (it actually was easier pulling back as opposed to pushing forward). As for the cleaning, the tank that holds the used (sucked back up solution) was not very dirty and there was a substantial mismatch on solution dispensed on the carpet and the amount that was picked back up. If I was cleaning a carpet in a humid environment (as opposed to an air-conditioned house) I would be very wary about the amount of solution that was left in the carpet. In any case I really was not impressed by the cleaning power of this unit, I might try the cleaner on my vinyl flooring, however I probably would not on my hardwood floors given how the unit seems to do a marginal job recovering the cleaning solution.
Overall I wanted to recommend this unit, however I did not really think it did a satisfactory job in performing it’s core job….cleaning.

nice implementation of a Chromebook
on July 23, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Picked up a new Chromebook as I wanted an alternative to the usual Windows 10 operating system loaded on standard notebooks. I’ve always used android tablets and like the Google Chrome OS. In any case, being of user of Google applications I found the Acer Spin 15 2-in-1 15.6" Chromebook appealing. This Chromebook is rather large with a brushed aluminum top containing with a gorilla glass display and a Chrome keyboard which is slightly different than the standard PC keyboard (where is the delete key ?). In any case the touchscreen is bright and clear and the insides of this unit impress with an Intel Pentium processor, 4GB of memory (RAM) and a 64GB Solid State Drive for storage. Performance is very good for the Chrome OS system in general, browser and multimedia content run smoothly and the Chromebook can be described as “perky”. This is a 2 in 1 system, the screen folds all the way back to transform what essentially is a notebook into a very big and unwieldy tablet. Regardless the size of the notebook does not subtract on the overall performance of this system. The only real issue I had was with the Netflix app which exhibited some glitches with screen blankouts, which appeared to be a hardware issue. I called Acer support who was very responsive and sent me instructions to update the Chrome OS. The update seemed to resolve the issues I had with Netflix. Overall I am happy with this unit, but when in the market for this type of system I would really confirm the size/form factor to ensure you are comfortable with whatever you choose to purchase.
Pros:
- great battery life, got over 10 hours with still more available, rated time is 13 hours.
- Interesting speaker placement (along the sides of the keyboard) relatively loud and clear.
- keyboard is backlit for use in low light conditions.
- large, clear and bright 1080p 15.6" screen.
- unit can be folded into different positions and can be made tablet like.

Cons:
- is a little big, unwieldy in tablet mode, I would opt for a smaller form factor.
- some of the edges could be a little more rounded, some are bordering on sharp.
- bezel along the screen seems a little wide (screen does not go from edge to edge, makes the unit larger than I think it needs to be)
- With size comes weight, the unit is not light by tablet standards or some notebooks
- When folded over in Tablet mode the speakers are facing in the wrong direction, not sure what the alternative is, whoever I paired a Bluetooth speaker easily and used that.

Good service, very configurable
on July 7, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
NordVPN is a Virtual Private Network provider which offers software solutions that allow you to connect to the internet without exposing your IP address or potentially your information to you internet provider and or other organizations. However I am not going to explain the reasoning or concept behind VPN any further. As VPN providers go, NordVPN offers numerous connection servers in a plethora of countries. I have installed and used the Windows and iOS versions and both perform equally well. You have can choose to allow the software to connect to the optimal server within the country you want to use (based on your distance and utilization of the server). You also have the ability to pick and choose the server based on distance and load. In addition you have other options for servers optimized for peer to peer file sharing solutions (P2P/BitTorrent), double hop VPN (to provide a more secure, more difficult to trace connection). In addition NordVPN does not log your activity when connecting to the internet. Bet you didn’t know most internet providers do. I used Netflix from “other countries” to view content not available in the US, I did have a problem connecting to Amazon, apparently they are trying to protect the authenticity of their reviews and also prevent people from seeking alternate pricing on items (did not know their pricing varies depending on market). I did occasionally have problems with performance while using the VPN, essentially connected to a server that became busier as time went on, however generally performance was good, and you always have the option of connecting to a less busy server with the various options you have within the app. The only dislike I had was with the iOS implementation which seemed to be really aggressive with disconnecting you from the VPN during periods of inactivity. I had not run into this as much with another VPN product I had been using. The Windows version also seemed to have a problem running the VPN service on my laptop, although this problem did not seem to occur on my Desktop. Ultimately I had to change a setting on the service to allow it to interact with the desktop. They offer a myriad of tutorials , support options and forums regarding their product. I know the basics in regards to networking, however the options and knowledge is available if you really want to explore. Granted many VPN providers do not let you go “under the covers” with configuring and using their product.
Pros:
- Wide selection of servers and countries to connect to
- A lot of options for VPN type (double hop, peer to peer)
- Reasonable pricing
- Advanced options to connect without using their client via OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP and IKEv2/IPsec
- A lot of options for VPN type (double hop, peer to peer)
- Reasonable pricing
- Advanced options to connect without using their client via OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP and IKEv2/IPsec
Cons:
- Had an issue with the Windows installation on one machine
- iOS version seems to be overly aggressive in disconnecting during inactivity.
- Servers do seem to reach capacity quickly, some form of load balancing/switching to less loaded server might be nice.

what is it ?
on June 17, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Google Clips is supposed to be a standalone camera that provides you with the ability to catch "candid moments". I not sure who greenlighted this project, but trying to find a good use case for this device was difficult. I used it during a birthday party and it captured quite a few photos and movies (without audio). Although it has a wide field of view, often the pictures were motion blurred, distorted and not really of much use. The device is simple enough and is rechargeable via a USB port. The camera essentially creates an adhoc wireless network that your mobile device connects to for downloading pics/gifs taken. If you have a VPN running on your mobile device the camera will not work. You can also take manual snapshots with the camera, I really had a hard time figuring out what to do with this. I guess the intended purpose is to just let this camera snap away and you can decide later if anything was useful, I found less than 20% of the pics were of any use, so it you look at it from the pick and choose perspective then this is an OK device.
Often I would write a more in depth review, however there is not much to review or recommend for Google Clips.

good sounding, nice companion apps
on June 6, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
The Sony SP600N Sports Wireless Noise Canceling headphones are solid Bluetooth earbuds with a single wire connecting each of the buds. Closer to the left earbud is the battery/control block which has the standard buttons for power/pairing, noise canceling mode selection and USB charging input, these are all on the side of the block. Volume, pause/play are on the top of the block. I do like how there are numerous controls on the block (more on that later) so you don’t have to get inventive with multi-press sequences out of just one or two buttons. Initially I had an issue fitting the earbuds in my ear, however I figured out the trick is to insert and twist into each ear slightly, then they become pretty secure. As for the sound, it is clear and crisp, with punchy bass. I really do enjoy how these sound and with a choice of Sony mobile apps (Headphones and Music Center) you can really configure your sound preferences by using the equalizer, adjust noise cancelling mode and even audio track control. There is also a setting within the app to power off the headphones. Overall, I am really enjoying these earbuds, a combination of quality hardware and pretty good mobile apps produce a fine listening experience. The battery life appears to be what is stated at approximately 6 hours. Active noise cancelling built into these earbuds has minimal effect when turned on, much like the experience I had with a pair of Sony totally wire free earbuds, not sufficient to counteract noisy environments like planes, trains or automobiles.
Pros:
- High quality, true to source sound reproduction
- Good companion mobile apps
- Multifunction control block
- High quality, true to source sound reproduction
- Good companion mobile apps
- Multifunction control block
Cons:
- Control block is large
- Noise cancellation is poor

delivering high res audio with ease
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
The Sony 1AM2 Hi-Res Headphones are an over ear style model, that successfully isolate you from most outside sounds, although they do not include active noise cancelling. They are comfortable fitting even with my large ears and head. They are mostly constructed of plastic, with soft faux leather earcuffs and are lightweight and provide fatigue free listening. As for the sound, the 40mm liquid crystal polymer diaphragm provide a wide frequency range from 3Hz to 100khz, the outliers of that range are really not detectable in humans. Regardless if you consume high resolution audio these are the right set of headphones, they provide clear, crisp sound and the low frequencies do not seem to be overly emphasized or artificially enhanced. The tonal quality seems true to the source material. There are several tracks where I heard details layered within the recording that I never was aware of, quite the experience when you listen to familiar material and discover new detail. Since these are high res headphones listening to high bitrate FLAC files takes full advantage of the capabilities. At a minimum I suggest you crank to the max the streaming or download quality of your favorite music service, including a setting that provide maximum dynamic range. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of a hard storage case, they simply provide a fabric pouch, with a sleeve within it. I really am surprised that such a higher end product provides such substandard storage (in this case pouch). I would protect my investment in these, not cheap headphones and store them in a hard case.
Pros:
- Lightweight and comfortable
- High quality, true to source sound reproduction
- Quality sound cables provided, ground wire isolated for each channel

Loud PA system
on May 15, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
The Bose S1 speaker is essentially a portable PA unit with a high capacity battery, with two separate quarter inch input jacks. The unit is designed for performance artists or public speakers that I want to amplify their voice or their instruments. It provides rudimentary mixing between the two inputs along with some reverb effects that can be mixed with a Bluetooth source. Essentially you sing, play an instrument and have a Bluetooth track mixed in the background. The unit is very loud and fairly clear, it offers a performer a lot of flexibility when used in a portable setting. It tilts on its base for different use cases and dynamically changes how the sound emanates from the unit. The battery lasts quite a while, I am essentially using it as a wireless Bluetooth speaker, it can be used for parties, outdoor events (although it is not weatherproof). The unit is ruggedly built and has a carrying handle built-in for portability. Unfortunately as of yet I haven’t had a way to test the other two inputs. But might lend it to a friend that performs at a local coffee house for his opinion.

Powered wet mopping
on April 30, 2018
Posted by: Bappy
from Garner, NC
Seeing my wife use a mop for years on our floors I thought the BISSELL - SpinWave Cordless Powered Mop would make the job so much easier for her. So once I had this unit assembled (you literally snap the handle to the main body, put on the cleaning pads and you are ready to go). You should plug the wireless unit in to charge which takes a few hours as the initial from the factory charge can vary. There are a series of three blue lights that provide a status of the battery charge. Two small containers of multi use cleaner are provided with the unit, mix with water and place in the reservoir on the front of the unit. Once charged you are ready to clean. You can dispense solution on the floor from the unit and it provides a small chime to indicate it was dispensed. My wife used the unit and came to the conclusion that very little solution was needed to clean the floor. Now some of her observations were that if you like the pad cleaner (starts with S ends in R) you will be a fan of this BISSELL SpinWave Cordless Powered Mop. However as I found out, she likes to rinse the mop during use to actually clean the floor and remove dirt. She said that wet pad cleaning solutions are kinda just like spreading around the grime (did not know this prior to getting this unit - my bad). I mentioned to her, this is more of a commentary on her way of cleaning, this unit does what it was designed to do and does it well. She also mentioned that with the tank full of solution it really adds to the weight of this cordless unit. She also said unlike a mop it was difficult to get into tight places (like around a toilet) when using a traditional mop. My observations were the linoleum floor looked clean and shiny after using this unit and our hardwood floors looked fantastic (however be careful to sweep or vacuum up any dirt prior, as the circular motion of the pads could scratch hardwoods if dirt or small rocks get caught up in the pads). However she mentioned that the linoleum floor was a little sticky from the solution (I also thought so), I suspect it would be less so when using less of it. The pads are washable and can be put in a washing machine. A rubber tray is provided so you can place the unit (standing up) on the tray with wet pads. Overall I thought this was a nice addition to our fleet of cleaning devices. Not sure how much she is going to use it though. However I plan on repurposing it to clean my elderly mom’s laminate floors. I suspect it will do a wonderful job.
Pros:
- Wireless, built in 18v rechargeable battery.
- cleaning solution provided (use a little at a time)
- awesome if you already like wet mopping pad cleaning solutions.

Cons:

- solution leaves a sticky residue (at least on linoleum floors).
- hard to use in tight place (like near toilets) however it is very maneuverable.

The SOUNDFORM Rise True Wireless Earbuds are designed to get you through even the longest days with an impressive 7 hours of charge in each earbud and another 24 hours in the wireless charging case. The IPX5 water resistance rating protects them rain or shine while easy-to-use controls offer the power to change volume, skip tracks, and take calls, all at your fingertips.
Are the Soundform Rise compatible with Windows?
I paired them to my Windows 10 laptop and used them on Zoom calls.
