A few years ago I decided to skip getting a new tv, and instead went with a projector. I loved the versatility, the big picture, and the theater like experience. Ever since then I have been very curious about these pocket projectors. The Miroir M125 Micro Pro Projector has been a lot of fun. It has allowed me to take everything I liked about projectors in general on the go with me.
With this being a small pocket projector there are some compromises, but as long as you understand what you are buying beforehand there is a lot to like.
Pros:
Small size + light weight.
Manual Focus.
HDMI in
Ability to run on battery
Ability to use anywhere

CONS
480p resolution limits screen size
built in battery is only rated for 2 hours.
Small size and lumens demands a mostly dark room for good results.

I will personally be using this to throw in a backpack or suitcase, and take with me on trips. I think it will be fantastic for this purpose. I was a little concerned about the resolution of this unit, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a vivid picture. Just realize that you are not going to throw a 120" screen.
Overall the Miroir M125 Micro Pro Projector will suit my purposes very well, and I am extremely pleased with my experience thus far. If you need something for on the go I would highly recommend giving this model your consideration.

These JLab Audio - JBuddies are PERFECT for the kids. Thank you JLab for making something that my kids LOVE while protecting their hearing. These are now the only headsets I will be using for the children.
First off they are built well. They should stand up to the day to day use and abuse they are sure to suffer at the hands of my kids. Very sturdy. The mic is retractable which I think will help to keep it from breaking off. They love the look too - very stylish.
Most importantly to me they just work, and work well while protecting the kids hearing. They max out at 85 decibels which is great.
We use them with the Switch, and setup was a breeze. You can use wired or wireless, and the estimated 22 hours of wireless battery life seems to be right.
Overall I love that the product works well, is easy to use, and most importantly is suited to children.
Thank you JLab. These are the only headsets we will be using for our kids from now on!

Pair Surface Go Type Cover with Surface Go* for a full keyboard experience anywhere. Ultra-compact, yet it includes a complete mechanical keyset, backlit keys, and extra-large trackpad. Plus, three colors are covered in rich Alcantara material¹ for an added touch of luxury and comfort.

This review is for the Microsoft Surface GO Signature Type Cover, and is meant to accompany my review for the Microsoft Surface GO 2. If you have a Surface tablet I consider this accessory to be essential to the experience. It adds so much to the experience, and really transforms the Surface tablet into a laptop that you can easily take anywhere.
Like everything related to the Surface line of products the quality of the Signature Type Cover is phenomenal. A soft fabric covers the entire keyboard, and is very comfortable. Typing on the Signature Type Cover is equally comfortable. I do most of my typing on a 17” laptop with a full size keyboard. The transition to this keyboard is very acceptable for me. It only took a few minutes before I was back to typing without having to think about the layout of the keyboard. I will say however that if it was any smaller it would probably create some issues around the typing experience.
What I am really amazed about is how thin the Type Cover is, and yet somehow the key travel is very satisfying and a close approximation of a standard laptop.
It really does everything I could want out of a type cover. It protects the screen, provides a great typing experience, a responsive mousepad and buttons, and otherwise it stays out of the way. It magnetically snaps onto the tablet and couldn’t be easier to put on or take off. I personally leave it on all the time as it is so unobtrusive.
As I said before I believe that the Microsoft Surface GO Signature Type Cover is essential to the Surface GO experience. It adds protection, and versatility, and truly transforms the Surface from a tablet into a fully realized laptop computer experience. If you own a Surface tablet you owe it to yourself to consider adding the Signature Type Cover.
Thanks Microsoft!

Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.
Microsoft was kind enough to provide me with this Surface Go 2 for the purposes of reviewing the product. I will be sharing my honest opinion with you.
The Surface line of products from Microsoft has been evolving for some time now, but it has always aimed to provide a full windows experience with the convenience and portability of a tablet. They eventually offered a more budget friendly option with the introduction of the Surface GO. The Surface GO 2 is the latest evolution of this line. Can this more budget friendly tablet still provide you with that full windows experience on the go? Read on.
I have had some experience with the Surface line of products. I owned the Surface Pro 4, and was absolutely thrilled with it. Many of my opinions on the Surface GO 2 are based on my previous experience with that product.
I will start off by saying that I use this as a “laptop”, and my opinions about the Surface GO 2 are reflective of its ability to provide that experience. As such I find the optional Signature Type Cover, and Surface Pen essential to the experience. If you just want a capable tablet some of my observations may not be applicable to your situation.
The overall size of the Surface GO 2 is the same as the Surface GO 1, but the bezels are smaller resulting in more screen real estate at 10.5”. This is great as you not only get a larger screen, but you also have a lot of options for cases, screen protectors, etc that were made for the original Surface GO.
To answer the question I posed earlier yes the Surface GO 2 does indeed provide a full Windows 10 experience. The caveat is that it comes in S Mode which will only allow apps to be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. This means no downloading programs off the internet. I understand why they present this option as it would provide a much safer experience, but it is not for me. Luckily turning off S Mode is very easy, and you are then given the same Windows 10 experience you would get on any laptop or desktop PC.

This little tablet has handled everything I can throw at it. Multitasking including video streaming, and internet browsing was handled no problem. I have thoroughly enjoyed using Autodesk Sketchbook for drawing with the optional Surface Pen. All in all performance has been great, and I really don’t feel like the experience is compromised in any way due to the size of the tablet. The model I am reviewing has the Intel Pentium Gold processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB hard drive.
I love how I can just toss it in my backpack, and I have access to a fully featured PC anywhere, and anytime I need it.
In comparison to the Surface Pro 4 I have used the screen is obviously smaller. It still provides a good experience though. Text is easy to read. I have never felt like my fingers are too fat for the touch interface like I sometimes do on my phone. The only thing I noticed is that the wifi antenna seems to be a little bit weaker in the Surface GO 2 compared to the Surface Pro 4. This is just an observation as I certainly have no complaints about its connectivity. It provides a great experience.
Build quality is great. The built in kickstand really takes things to another level with its ability to hold the tablet at any angle you need it to.
Overall I am extremely pleased with the Surface GO 2. Microsoft has found an amazing compromise between performance, and price with this product. If you are in the market for a great tablet or an extremely portable computer you really should give it your consideration.
Thanks Microsoft!

It has been quite some time since I tried my first Qi enabled wireless charger for my cell phone, and I immediately swore to never hook up a cable to my phone again.
The Belkin - BOOST CHARGE 10W Wireless Charging Pad is exactly what I wanted out of a wireless charger. It just works. Place the phone on the pad, and you are charging without any annoying cables or wear and tear on the charging port of your phone. I didn't have to fiddle around with the phone to find the "sweet spot" of the charger either. Very pleased here.
It charged through my UAG case without any issues whatsoever. No disconnects, and no overheating.
I also like how quickly it charges. Much faster than the last no name charger I bought off of amazon.
Overall there is not much more to say. Belkin has made a quality product here that just works. The convenience of this product is outstanding. If you need a wireless charger for your phone I would highly recommend you consider this one. Thanks Belkin.

Powerful, quiet, and commercial-grade. The professional smart massage device is in a league of its own. The most powerful commercial-grade massage device with the features pros know and trust. Our top-of-the-line deep muscle treatment is more personalized than ever, thanks to our guided app experiences, which help to reduce muscle soreness, improve mobility, and increase relaxation. The Theragun PRO with continuous battery life, rotating arm, and an industry-leading 2-year warranty, is the most advanced recovery tool of choice for both professionals and everyday people.

I consider myself an athlete. I have primarily been a runner for the last 5 years or so. I also supplement my running with regular cross training, and weight lifting. As such I have come to realize how important it is to take care of your body outside of all the exercise so that you are able to continually make progress, and not be held back by soreness, stiffness, and muscle fatigue. That is where the Theragun Pro comes in. It has really allowed me to take things to the next level.
I had been curious about these percussive massage devices for some time now. All I can say is that I wish I had tried this sooner. The therapy and relief that the Theragun Pro provides is both easily targeted where I need it most, and most importantly effective. The proof is simple. I find it considerably easier to move around after I have used it.
Over the years of exercise I have always done my own treatment, but I was honestly unsure of the best way to go about it. The Theragun Pro has really helped me in this regard. The bluetooth connection combined with the app helps me identify specifically which muscles to massage. This has really taken my treatment to the next level. Between the adjustable arm, and the different percussive heads it allows me to get treatment exactly where I need it, and in the most effective way possible.
This thing is so easy to use. You are easily able to adjust force and speed. The rechargeable batteries last a VERY long time. This is a really top notch product. Build quality suggests that I will be using it for a long time to come.
One thing that surprised me is how quiet it is. I have heard that some of these devices can be kind of loud. I would not say that at all with the Theragun Pro. It is indeed quiet to the point that I would never have to worry about disturbing someone else when using it in the house.
I fully recommend the Theragun Pro. It is my favorite piece of equipment that I have added to my workout routine in years. I suspect that you will wish you tried it sooner just as I did.

My first thought when I saw this product was that it was just another blender. What surprised me was its versatility. The Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System is the perfect name for this device. It's much more than a blender, and a real asset to my kitchen.
My kitchen space comes at a premium. In order for me to invest in a device it has to be functional, and versatile. I have already used this to make smoothies, margaritas, salsa, cookie dough (yes it works well for this), and chopped plenty of vegetables.
On top of all of this versatility the machine is also POWERFUL. Quality, and build materials are top notch. I have really become fond of Ninja products over the last couple of years, and this one lives up to my previous experiences with the brand.
It is also a really complete package. It has a pouring pitcher, and a food processor. The two to-go cups are great and big at 24oz. Blend up a smoothie right in the cup, and take it with you when you head out the door. The convenience of this is what has kept me using it.
This is a top quality product that has the versatility, and ease of use that has earned it a space in my kitchen. Don't just get a blender. Get a Ninja - Professional Plus Kitchen System!

This GE smart air conditioner is just what I needed to prepare for the warm weather ahead. It also has some great extra features that make it the best air conditioner that I have ever had for cooling my medium sized room.
The installation was very typical of a window mounted air conditioner. Not complicated, just a little time consuming. If you have someone to help you will breeze through this in no time, although I did it on my own.
Build quality seems very good. It looks....like an air conditioner, but it does have a more premium look than some of the cheap ones I have used.
Setup was very easy. Smartphone/Wifi setup was a breeze, and works well. I look forward to being able to start my A/C while away from home allowing things to cool down before I get there. This was the main selling point for me over a traditional air conditioner, and I think it will perform well in this regard.
Air is cold. It easy cools the medium/large sized bonus room of my house. It is also quiet and in line with other air conditioners I have used. I can listen to tv at normal volumes, have a conversation at normal levels, etc.
Overall this GE Smart air conditioner comes exactly as advertised. Solid performance, and smart features. Would recommend!

Fantastic Monitor. Should've Upgraded Sooner!

Okay I have to admit that even though I have built my own computers for some time now I always tend to cut corners when it comes to the monitor. Then I started thinking...why spend all that money on the computer, and then limit my experience with a sub par display?
Enter the HP Omen 27i. WOW! This has really taken things to the next level.
The display itself is physically gorgeous! Small bezels. Big 27" screen size. Adjustable height. RGB. YES.
It's a 2k monitor with a 165mhz refresh rate. This was perfect for me because I already game at 1440p to get the best balance between resolution and performance out of my computer. The picture is crisp. The colors are fantastic. This is easily the best display I have ever used.
Although it is a Freesync monitor it seems to play well with my NVIDIA GTX graphics card over displayport.
HP software gets the job done.
Overall I am EXTREMELY impressed with the display. It is an upgrade that I should have made a LONG time ago.

The following are my thoughts about the Nomatic Carry-On Classic 22" Spinning Suitcase after using it as a carry on for a trip to Alaska. First impressions here were fantastic. Build quality like I have never seen before. I was quite confident in using this piece of luggage for my trip.
Packing it up was an excellent experience. The organization offered here is fantastic. Everything is high quality - I cannot stress this point enough. The built in TSA lock was much appreciated, and the combination is easy to set. The suitcase itself is light, but seems bulletproof. The wheels roll very smoothly. It fit in the overhead storage bin very well (Alaskan Airlines).
I know there is a hefty price tag attached to this, but the quality is there, and it is worth the price of admission. It gave me piece of mind that I didn't have to worry about my personal belongings, and that they would be well protected. The company has a promotional video showing them bashing the luggage with VERY LARGE SLEDGE HAMMERS without sustaining damage! After using it myself I am not surprised it can withstand that kind of punishment.
While you may not need it to survive a barrage of sledge hammers you can rest easy knowing it will handle anything the airline is going to throw at it. Pay the price of admission, and get a suitcase that will last for years to come. After using this carry on piece I am looking forward to adding to my collection with more Nomatic luggage. 5 stars, and highly recommended.
