Decent Alarm Clock
on February 12, 2018
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
This was good replacement for my old alarm clock. My old clock still had a 30 pin dock on the top, and I haven't owned a phone that could sit in it for several years. This clock/speaker was a much needed upgrade. It has a USB port on the back, so it's easy to connect your phone cord to it and charge your phone over night. It was easy to setup through the google home app. It has a decent sound too. One minor con would be the clock is smaller than I care for, but can be read at a glance in the middle of the night. Overall, it's a decent alarm clock. My wife jokingly asked google the play a lullaby, and it sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". We both got a chuckle out of it.

Absolutely Love It!

Small speaker, HUGE full sound! This little speaker fills the room easily. Other manufactures take note! This is how I expect speakers in this price range to sound. The Google assistant works great too. Only downside is it's not portable because there is no battery.

Phenomenal Picture, Weak Sound
on November 22, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
The picture quality on this projector is amazing. There are plenty of options to fine tune the picture to get it just right for your application. One feature that I would of liked to see was the ability to adust the picture if you weren't straight in front of the projection surface. The keystone adjustments only work up and down, not left to right. That said, it's an amazing picture once you're dialed in.
One feature that has really disappointed me has been the speaker. Yes, this projector has one, but you can barely hear it. This is an oversight that they shouldn't have overlooked. It doesn't have to be audiophile grade, or reach high SPL levels, but how about just be audible. When you have it maxed out, you barely hear it. My iPhone it much louder than this speaker by far. It would also be nice if it came with a travel bag.
Overall, I love the projector. Chances are you would not even use the built in speaker, because you would probably have it setup in a home theater with an HD audio receiver. But in my situation, it's portable, and I bring it camping and to friends houses to watch sports on the side of a garage or house.

Easy, Fast, Secure
on November 14, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3

This security system was very easy to setup. The hardest part for me was camera placement, but it was more about angles than the install itself. These camera's being wireless, you can put them anywhere within range of the base. The picture quality is great, and you can zoom in and even setup up motion detection zones. The Arlo app is great, and gives you access to all the settings for your camera's. I have one setup overlooking my front door and porch to keep an eye on my Best Buy packages arriving, and the other is in the house facing my back door. This system gives me peace of mind knowing that if something ever does happen, I'll at least have some video to help out the police.

Awesomeness!
on November 2, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
This thermostat was very easy to install, but I did have to run a "C-wire" from my furnace to get this unit to power up. Luckily it wasn't too difficult, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Once the unit powers up it takes you through a setup wizard. Once done, you can program it to fit your lifestyle. You can also register it online, which gives you access to it via the internet, or the Honeywell app.
I didn't realize what a big deal the WiFi capability is on these thermostats, but I quickly learned that I could turn the heat down from my phone when I know no one will be at my house. We don't need the heat cranked when no one will be home for ten hours. I have a steady work schedule, but my wife is always working different days of the week. I have setup a basic program for heating and cooling the house during the week and weekends, but being able to be at work and turn the heat/air off or on when I know no one is home is awesome! I'm really looking forward to see if and how much money this can save me monthly.

Awesome!

This personal groomer is awesome. It charges up quickly, feels very sturdy, and has plenty of power. It has a professional look and feel to it. I was able to trim the the sides of my head, nose, and shave my face with a 30 minute charge. It claims to give you enough power to shave your face after just five minutes of charging if it’s completely dead. While I didn’t do this, I believe it after everything I did after 30 minutes.

A Quality Replacement Charger
on October 17, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
The charger appears and feels much more durable than the OEM charger. It worked just like the original on my wife's Apple Watch Series 2. No warning about it not being certified, or anything like that. Only time will tell how durable it really is, but the 5 year warranty gives you peace of mind.

Crazy Cool, Crazy Loud!
on October 14, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
This speaker is crazy loud, and crystal clear! You could easy host a backyard party with just one of these. I've been using it for when I watch movies via my projector on my garage door outside. My family loves it. It sounds amazing, and luckily the neighbors haven't complained yet. A couple of them have heard it, and then came over to check it out and stayed to watch the rest of the movie. You can link a bunch of these together via bluetooth, which is crazy to me, but I could see a DJ having a few of these setup at a party. The lights are cool, but most of the time I have them turned off. The only downside to this speaker is that it's pretty heavy. It would be nice/convenient if it had a handle and some wheels to transport it.

Mixed Emotions
on October 14, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
I'm running this monitor off my Asus G751JT gaming laptop. It has a GTX 970m graphics card. Setup was easy. The picture quality is phenomenal over HDMI after woking out all the bugs. The issues I'm having may be video card or driver related. When I first connected the monitor, I used and HDMI cable, and I quickly noticed the monitor looked washed out. I then tried the VGA cable, and the picture color looked 100% better, and what I was expecting originally with the HDMI cord, except the screen looked a little blurry in certain places, and there was a slight flickering in games, because of this I went back to the HDMI cable. I went through NVidia's control panel, and found that the "output dynamic range" was set to limited. Setting it to full made it 100% what I was expecting. There's no screen tearing at all when playing games, and the color looks amazing. It took a little bit of time to adjust from playing on a 17.3" laptop screen, and then going to a 27". I never want to go back, lol. The only downside to this monitor is that there are no on-board speakers. This was disappointing. There is a headphone jack on the back, but I have not been able to get any sound from it. This may be something on my end, possibly driver related.

Fantastic Build Quality, But...
on October 7, 2017
Posted by: kwilks3
from St Clair Shores, MI
These are very nice looking headphones. The build quality is fantastic. They are very stylish, and are the most comfortable set of headphones I've tried on to date, with or without glasses. I personally love touch controls, but the controls on the H9's could use some refining. They can be a bit quirky. When pausing and playing music, there is an odd delay. On a couple occasions I started a phone call with the last person I talked to by double tapping the touch pad thinking the first tap didn't register. Skipping tracks is a gamble too. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. There is an app you can download to control the pause/play/track function, noise canceling, and even try to fine tune the headphones with B&O's version of an EQ.
Now onto the sound part, and this is why I had to subtract one star. Let's keep in mind that this is a $500 set of headphones. The H9's have to much "boomy" bass. It's not tight, it doesn't hit hard. It's just "boomy", muddy if you will, and bleeds into the midrange. If B&O had a better EQ feature in their app, you might be able to tune them better. A circle with an option to point it to "WARM, EXCITED, RELAXED, or BRIGHT", just doesn't cut it for me.
Now for the noise canceling. I had to make sure I had this feature enabled via the app because it didn't work as I expected. It does cut a little bit of background noise out, but I could still hear plenty of background noise. I'm my past experience, other headphones I tested would completely block out background noise, with and option to adjust just how much noise canceling you want. The H9's must be setup to have just a medium level of noise canceling with no way to adjust otherwise. This is why I subtracted another star.
Again, keep in mind this is a $500 set of headphones. I've tested headphones around half the price with better sound and noise canceling.

Four USB ports let you connect accessories, transfer files or charge a cellphone while you work, and HDMI outputs make dual-screen functionality possible. Access nearby wireless networks with this Acer Aspire laptop and stream videos or upload your own images captured with the built-in HD webcam.
Is the graphics good enough to play games like Life Is Strange and COD?
Unfortunately, no. It has an integrated Intel HD 520 with no dedicated video RAM. If your looking for a laptop to play those titles, look for one that come with at least and Nvidia GTX 940M. I believe to upgraded version of this laptop comes with that option.
