Plantronics Attempt @ True Wireless Earbuds

Audio Quality - 3
The BackBeat Fit 3100 by Plantronics is their first run at attempting “true wireless earbuds”. The greatest question of all… Did Plantronics succeed? Let's find out.
The very first thing I noticed with the BackBeat Fit 3100’s is that these were not created with the capability of noise cancelling. The eartips were designed so that it doesn’t completely block out outside sound around you. I would say this, if you’re going to be using this in the gym; you may hear some “grunts” here and there which may bother you. But, if you’re thinking about purchasing the BackBeat Fit 3100s for outdoor activities like running or biking, I would have to say that it's perfect. Why? Because that way you can hear some of your surrounding like cars, buses, and people; there’s less of a chance that you’ll get into an accident when using the BackBeat Fit 3100s outdoors.
When it comes down to the sound quality of the BackBeat Fit 3100, I must say that they are decent. Even without the noise cancelling functionality, the BackBeat Fit 3100 did a decent job by providing me the tunes I needed during my workout. I personally feel like the earpiece design that Plantronics went with drowns out some of the audio quality. Although there’s bass, I felt like there wasn’t enough trebble. If Plantronics were to release different earpiece(s), it will definitely make a difference in the audio quality.
What I do find appealing with the BackBeat Fit 3100 is the touch sensitive controls (left ear). The touch sensitive controls worked accurately and I didn’t encounter any issue(s) while using them. With the left earpiece, you’ll be able to control the volume. You can create custom shortcuts through Plantronics BackBeat app. As for the right earpiece, it’s an actual button as opposed to touch sensitive controls. On the right earpiece, you’ll be able to do things such as power off, pause music, and moving to the next or previous song. I’d like to mention here that I never once experienced any problems with fitting the earbuds in my ear and getting my workout done. The BackBeat Fit 3100’s fit is extremely comfortable and never once did I encounter issues where it fell out or anything; it was very stable within my ear.
With the BackBeat Fit 3100, you also get the traveling/charging case. When I compare it to my Jabra Elite 65t's charging case; it’s definitely not as small/discreet. Nonetheless, Plantronics has done an excellent job with the design and build quality. The battery is rated to last up to 5 hours and you get two extra charges with the traveling/charging case; which means you get a total of 15 hours. When compared to my Jabra Elite 65t, you also get a total of 15 hours and I’ve never had any problems with my Jabras; I can say the same with the Plantronics.
Overall I must say that I am pleased with the Plantronics BackBeat Fit 3100. When I compare them to my Jabra Elite 65ts that I really like, I can say that it's pretty decent. The only concern I can see for people that purchase the BackBeat Fit 3100 is the fact that you get outside sound come through the earbuds when you’re listening. But the way you look at it is that the BackBeat Fit 3100 was designed for more outdoor athletes as opposed to people in the gym. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these to my friends and family that like to go on bike rides or runs. But if a friend that goes to the gym and only the gym asks me about these, I would tell them about the outside sound concern. Besides that, all in all; I’d say I enjoy the Plantronics BackBeat Fit 3100.

G Pro Wireless is my HERO
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Logitech - G PRO HERO Wireless Gaming Mouse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** The Review *****
The Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse contains one of the best sensors yet it doesn’t scream “gaming”. It’s an extremely stripped down design that was made to perform, but don’t be fooled; the mouse is definitely not fragile. The mouse is incredibly light (80G). When I say light, I literally mean light. If you’ve ever held one of those Scotch Shipping tape rolls (the red plastic one), the mouse is just a little bit heavier than that. I guess it ultimately depends on your preference. For me personally, I do enjoy using a lighter mouse since I play with pretty low sensitivity on FPS games. So if ever need to do those sudden “flick” shots, you won’t have any problem doing that with the Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse.
The Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse is quite small. It’s not so small that it’s uncomfortable or anything though. Whether you’re a palm or claw grip user, I think you'll find the mouse still comfortable; even during long gaming sessions.
The Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse sports a top of the line sensor while remaining subtle with it’s simple yet beautiful barebone design. The G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse contains the HERO 16K sensor made by Logitech. Lets just put it this way, I had 0 issues getting headshots in competitive FPS games. If you’re not into FPS and need it for something like Starcraft 2, you won’t have any problems gliding across your mousepad with the G Pro Wireless. The HERO 16K sensor gives you the ability to adjust your DPI from 100 ~ 16,000 and does not have any smoothing, filtering, or acceleration. The Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse was made to be perfectly ambidextrous. You have your standard left click button, right click button, and a clickable scroll wheel. With the G Pro Wireless, you’ll find thumb buttons on either side of the mouse. So this means it’s perfect for either right or left hand users. With the G Pro Wireless, you also have the option to swap out the thumb buttons so that it’s “tailored” to either right or left handed users. Another personal preference mentioned here is the DPI switch. Instead of being on top of the mouse like other traditional gaming mice, it’s located on the bottom. I personally don’t have a problem with this because depending on which game I am going to launch, I’ll have my DPI setting adjusted prior to gaming anyways. I like this better as there have been times where I accidently change my DPI while shooting on other mice. Speaking of the underbelly of the mouse, it also has a storage compartment for the USB dongle. If you already own the Logitech Powerplay or want to purchase it (Logitech’s Charing Mouse Pad), the Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse is also compatible with that.
The G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse by Logitech also utilizes the traditional Logitech Gaming Software or the newer Logitech software called Logitech G Hub. This is where “preference” comes into play again; you can use either or. With the software from Logitech, it allows you to to customize DPI levels, set up macros, and control RGB lighting (along with other neat features). Adjusting the lighting allows you to control the G logo, the palm area of the mouse, and the 3 DPI indicator lights on the top of the mouse. Logitech states that the mouse can last on an estimated time of 40 ~ 50 hours on one single charge (dependant on different lighting profiles though of course). For whatever reason if you forget to charge your G Pro Wireless Mouse, you can always simply just plug it in with the included long braided cable.
The bottom line is if you decide to purchase the Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse; you will be rocking an incredibly light mouse that is wireless, sports one of the best sensors (HERO) out there made by Logitech, and is a mouse that you won’t be afraid to whip out and use in public with it’s beautiful yet elegant and simple design. I personally don’t have any cons to note for this gaming peripheral. Everyone out there knows that if you’re a hardcore PC gamer, not only do you need a high end gaming PC; you deserve high end gaming peripherals as well. The Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse does not disappoint.

Excellent Drone w/ Even Better Customer Service

Autel Robotics EVO Quadcopter Drone
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** The Review *****
The Autel EVO by Autel Robotics first impressions… How do I put this? This drone blew my mind. The image quality of the EVO is insane. My brother in-law owns a DJI Phantom and if you were to put the “specs” side by side, there’s really not much difference. Both the EVO and the DJI Phantom are able to shoot in 4K @ 60 FPS or in 1080P @ 120 FPS. When I took my EVO in the air and my brother in-law took his Phantom, you honestly can’t tell much of a difference in there ability to capture. The only major difference we saw is that the Phantom can shoot better in “low light” setting(s). One thing that we did notice is with the EVO, the camera is ultra wide. This is more of a “preference” as you’ll be able to view more (some people may want this), but some may not like that. The thing that impressed me the most about the EVO besides the camera quality is the 3-axis gimbal. With the 3-axis gimbal, you’re able to stabilize and capture beautiful moments when needed.
One thing that I would like to mention is that the Autel EVO has a controller that has a built in 3.3” OLED screen. You have an option of putting your mobile phone above the controller as well but it’s not needed as the controller shows flight information or real flight time as you’re flying. If you do decide to use your phone, make sure to download the Autel Explorer App! With the Autel Explorer App, you’ll be able to do things such as Dynamic Track, Viewpoint, Orbit, Waypoint, and VR (please see below in “Quick Features on the Product for more information”). The 3.3” OLED screen offers the pilot with 330 nits of of brightness so you’ll do decent under the sunlight.
The battery of the EVO is a 11.4V Lipo that is rated @ 4300mah. Autel states that you’ll be able to get 30 minutes of flight time, I was able to squeeze out around 23 ~ 27 minutes of flight time which is quite impressive.
What really impressed me with the overall experience of owning an Autel product is their support. I had some question(s) in regards to the controller and how it worked with the Autel Explorer App. The representative that I spoke with was not only prompt in his response, he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable; which in-turn resolved my issue in a timely manner. I was really surprised and satisfied.
In conclusion, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with Autel and their EVO. I would not hesitate to recommend this drone to friends and family. Autel did an amazing job from start to finish. They took their time to package the drone to ensure that it’s safely in its box prior to it being purchased, they used quality materials when building the EVO, and they support their product to the fullest with their excellent customer service. I would say this... if you’re in the search currently for a drone that takes excellent images and videos, is built with quality and has the same specs as the DJI Phantom, and is backed with superb customer service; I would give the Autel EVO a shot.

Extremely Accurate & Comfortable. Headshots? SURE!

Fnatic - Flick 2 Pro Wired Optical Gaming Mouse
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
Fnatic is a competitive and professional esports team no? When did they start creating their own line of peripherals? Well, let’s go ahead and dive in this review of the Flick 2 Pro by Fnatic and see how it does compared to other long running peripheral providers like Logitech and Razer.
The Flick 2 Pro is a pretty straightforward design. Right off the bat you can tell that its an ergonomic mouse with subtle LED lights. There’s LED lights on the scroll wheel, left hand side of the mouse to display what DPI setting you’re on, and an illuminated logo on the left front side of the mouse to show off Fnatic’s logo. In my honest opinion, I really enjoy the construction and shape of the mouse. Why you might ask? Does anyone reading this review recall the good ol trusty Microsoft Optical Intellimouse? The design and shape of the Flick 2 Pro resembles that design and shape of the Microsoft Optical Intellimouse and let me just say this… The Microsoft Optical Intellimouse was one of my favorites. To be honest, it was THE mouse of choice for me. So being that the Flick 2 Pro is in similar design/shape, I really really like the Flick 2 Pro. I’d also like to mention here that the Flick 2 Pro does not have a braided cable. If you’re a serious gamer, braided cables are a no no. Why? Because of cable drag. I can reassure all of you reading this that the Flick 2 Pro comes with a well made thin and very flexible rubber cable. No cable drag here folks.
But that’s just design and shape of the Flick 2 Pro, how does it perform you might ask? No need to panic here ladies and gentlemen, the Flick 2 Pro handles just fine; even for you low sensitivity players out there. The Fnatic Flick 2 Pro utilizes the Pixart 3360 Optical sensor which is voted one of the best senors out there. Along with the 3360 Optical sensor, you get Omron Switches which are extremely reliable. No issues with left or right clicks here as they are both satisfying to click. Another note I’d like to make is about the scroll wheel. Right of the box the scroll wheel for me did feel a bit “stiff”. But after about an hour or so of gaming and using it, it loosened up a little and let me just say this… Fnatic has done a wonderful job on the scroll wheel as well! With the Flick 2 Pro, you get a DPI range of 100 ~ 12000; in steps of 100 DPI. The polling rate for the Flick 2 Pro is adjustable between 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz. With my previous experience in playing Counter-Strike, the Fnatic Flick 2 Pro did an outstanding job in performance. I think the reason behind this is because of the mouse feet on the Flick 2 Pro. I know a lot of peripheral providers out there claim “large mouse feet”... But my OH my. You have got to check out the mouse feet on the Flick 2 Pro. By far, the Fnatic Flick 2 Pro has one of the largest mouse feet out there in my opinion. Because of this, The Flick 2 Pro would glide seamlessly on my mousepad and I was able to land those headshots that my team depends on.
In conclusion, I ultimately feel like Fnatic has done an excellent job with the Fick 2 Pro. Fnatic has released a really good peripheral to go against the other peripheral competitors out there. The Flick 2 Pro has hit a lot of points here for me and I’m sure it’ll do the same for you. If you’re out there on the hunt for a new mouse, I would definitely recommend getting the Flick 2 Pro by Fnatic. Before you go out and pick up a Logitech or Razer, give the Fnatic Flick 2 Pro a shot. Your teammates will thank you for those extra headshots you’re hitting, trust me.

Excellent TKL Keyboard & Extremely Comfortable
on August 29, 2018
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Fnatic - Mini Streak Professional Esports Wired Gaming Mechanical Cherry MX Brown Switch Keyboard (RGB)
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
So I’ll be completely honest. I knew Fnatic as more of an esports team rather than a hardware manufacturer. But let me just say this, Fnatic has made an incredibly thin TKL RBG mechanical keyboard that could possibly be the thinnest in the world.
Lets go ahead and dive right in ladies and gentlemen. The Fnatic Mini Streak is constructed of aluminum. Fnatic has done an excellent job putting their effort and time in designing this keyboard. The Mini Streak is available with red, silent red, blue and cherry brown MX switches. So it ultimately depends on how your “feel” is when you’re gaming with a mechanical keyboard like the Streak. I personally enjoy the cherry brown MX switches, it’s a good halfway point between red and blue switches. Cherry brown MX switches give you slight tactile feedback and does not feel “clicky” while the red gives you no tactile feedback; again it ultimately depends on your preference. Along with that, Cherry brown MX switches for me have an extra little bump when they are push down. In my opinion, it provides a bit more resistance than the smooth feel of red and blue switches. The Mini Streak comes with a detachable faux leather wrist support which makes typing/gaming long sessions extremely comfortable. The detachable faux leather wrist support can also be extended to fit your needs of comfort (huge plus here ladies and gentlemen).
The Fnatic Mini Streak doesn’t support USB passthrough or have a volume rocker wheel as it’s bigger brother does. It’s expected though since the Mini Streak is a TKL (10 Keyless) keyboard. You sacrifice some things so that you have more space on your desk (great for us low sensitivity players that continuously smack our mouse on the side of a full sized keyboard). What the Mini Streak does offer though is that it comes with a detachable USB cable. The cable is USB to USB Type C. So what that means is that it makes it a lot easier to replace than the integrated cable the regular streak has. One thing I do really enjoy on the Fnatic Mini Streak is their “Competition Key” (the regular Streak has this too). What it does is it changes the Streak’s lighting to Fnatics good ol trademark orange, disables the keyboard macro recording and lighting modes, and it also disables the Windows Key so that you don’t accidentally tap it when you’re trying to hit CTRL for crouch.
Overall I really think Fnatic made an excellent gaming mechanical keyboard here. The Mini Streak has left a strong impression on me and I personally feel like between my other 2 Corsair full size mechanical keyboards and the Fnatic Mini Streak; the Mini Streak will be my daily. The reason why is that extremely comfortable, fully adjustable; faux leather wrist support. I would highly recommend the Fnatic Mini Streak to my friends, family, and coworkers. My friend/co-worker that games even said the Mini Streak looks beautiful. What are you guys and girls waiting for? Go and pick one up today! You won’t be disappointed.

Redesigned Legion. Great Budget Gaming Laptop
on August 10, 2018
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0002US)
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
The Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0002US). Packed with an Intel i7 8750H, 16GB DDR4 2666 memory, 16GB Intel Optane Memory, and an Nvidia 4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Let’s go ahead and dive right in and see how this Gaming Laptop performs.
Right off the bat, the Intel i7 8750H is an excellent CPU. You’re looking at the successor to the widely popular Intel i7 7700HQ which is what was used a lot in previous gaming laptops. With the Intel i7 8750H, you’re going to be getting about a 10% increase in single core performance and about a 15 ~ 25% increase in multi-core performance. The Nvidia 4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti isn’t the fastest nor is it considered a “high end” GPU, but it’s definitely considered as one of the best (if not the best) budget GPU. So before I even ran any games, my expectations weren’t going to be through the roof as I know it won’t perform like my desktop which contains an Intel i7-8700 and a GTX 1070. I mean we’re looking at a budget gaming rig here, not a top of the line gaming beast. So now that we got that out the way, let’s go ahead and see what this combo brings to the table.
CS:GO - 140 FPS
Tom Clancy’s The Division - 60 FPS
Battlefield 1 - 60 FPS
GTA V - 55 FPS
Diablo 3 - 95 FPS
Tom Clancy’s The Division - 60 FPS
Battlefield 1 - 60 FPS
GTA V - 55 FPS
Diablo 3 - 95 FPS
As expected, this specific Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0002US) performs quite well. As mentioned previously, it’s not going to be the fastest out there; but it’s definitely not the slowest. So if you’re looking to play everything on ultra presets and expect incredible frames per second, I would probably invest in a pretty high end gaming rig. If you’re looking to play games on low/medium ~ high presets (Nvidia Recommended Settings), you’ll be just fine with this specific Lenovo Legion Y530. AAA titles will always demand a high performance machine. But with a gaming laptop, you’ll be able to bring it around with ease compared to a gaming desktop.
With the Legion Y530, I didn’t have a problem taking it around. Because of it’s subtle and sleek design, it doesn’t scream “GAMING”; yet it doesn’t look like an ordinary laptop. I personally enjoy the black design and look of the laptop. Although the Y530 is made majority of plastic, it's still quite durable and still looks good. Lenovo changed the backlit keyboard from red to white which looks a lot better. The bezels around the screen (left, top, and right) are also quite thin compared to the last years model. Because of the thin bezel change, the webcam was moved to below the screen. So if you plan on using the webcam, be prepared to show off your nose and in addition to the other party seeing your knuckles a lot if you're typing. But, I’ll definitely make that trade any day; smaller bezels vs having the camera at the top. If you currently own the last year’s model, you’ll also notice that a lot of the ports have been placed in the back of the laptop. You’ll still have access to a USB 3.1 port on either side of the laptop. The reason for this is so that it offers better cooling. Overall, the thermals on the Y530 is pretty good under normal usage. During my gaming session it does get warm but what gaming laptop doesn’t? I did see temps hit around 95c (MAX) but the fans would ramp up and keep the temps under control. The fans aren’t silent but they aren’t super loud either; I would classify the fan noise as expected/average. When it comes to the picture/screen quality, I wasn’t as impressed. I wished it was a bit brighter and the color reproduction was better. So if you were to use the Y530 in a more lit environment, you may have some difficulty viewing the screen. The 52.5Wh 3-cell lithium ion battery will last about 4 hours with general usage which is typically expected with these type of setups. But if you game on it, the battery will last about 1 ~ 1.5 hours. So be prepared to bring your charger with you!
Here are a couple breakdown of pros and cons that I would like to mention as my own opinion:
Pros:
Pros:
Very sleek at subtle design

Cons:
Display (not as bright as others and color reproduction isn’t as good)
Why GTX 1050 Ti? Would've liked to see at least a 1060 as Lenovo did an excellent job on the chassis. Lenovo also offers a 144Hz screen so it only makes sense to have a more powerful GPU…
Wished battery lasted longer

In conclusion, this Lenovo Legion Y530 has pretty good all around performance. I didn’t experience any frame rate drops during gaming. My settings on average were around low/medium ~ high (Nvidia Presets/Recommended). I would’ve liked to see Lenovo release all Legion Y530 with a GTX 1060 and a SSD by default (as this specific model comes with a traditional mechanical hard drive and Intel Optane Memory). I know they have other models but from what I could find; GTX 1050 Ti is all they have currently. Overall, I would give this specific model a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. Lenovo did do an excellent job by ditching the red and making the Legion Y530 very sleek (excellent redesign Lenovo!). Where it falls short on this specific model is with the GTX 1050 Ti and the picture/screen quality. Although this specific model didn’t come with an SSD, the Intel Optane Memory did in fact help with boot/load times. This specific Lenovo Legion Y530 is definitely worth being stated as an excellent budget gaming laptop. If you’re able to get the one with an SSD, I’m sure it’ll be even faster. Overall, thoroughly impressed with the this Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0002US).

Excellent Redesign. This Model Could be Improved.

Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0001US)
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
The Lenovo Legion Y530 (81FV0001US). Packed with an Intel i7 8750H, 8GB DDR4 2666 memory, and an Nvidia 4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Let’s go ahead and dive right in and see how this budget Gaming Laptop performs.
Right off the bat, the Intel i7 8750H is an excellent CPU. You’re looking at the successor to the widely popular Intel i7 7700HQ which is what was used a lot in previous gaming laptops. With the Intel i7 8750H, you’re going to be getting about a 10% increase in single core performance and about a 15 ~ 25% increase in multi-core performance. The Nvidia 4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti isn’t the fastest or considered a “high end” GPU, but it’s definitely considered as one of the best (if not the best) budget GPU. This specific version of the Lenovo Legion Y530 only comes with 8GB of memory and a traditional mechanical hard drive. So before I even ran any games, my expectations weren’t going to be through the roof. I mean we’re looking at a budget gaming rig here, not a top of the line gaming beast. So now that we got that out the way, let’s go ahead and see what this combo brings to the table.
As expected, this specific Lenovo Legion Y530 performs decent. As mentioned previously, it’s not going to be the fastest out there; but it’s definitely not the slowest. So if you’re looking to play everything on ultra presets and expect incredible frames per second, I would probably invest in a pretty high end gaming rig. If you’re looking to play games on a combination of low ~ medium presets, you’ll be just fine with this Lenovo Legion Y530 model. I was able to run games like Counter-Strike Global Offensive (140 FPS), Battlefield 1 (60 FPS), Tom Clancy’s The Division (60 FPS), GTA V (55 FPS), and Diablo 3 (95 FPS) without any FPS drops. I did for a weird reason encounter micro stutters/skips while gaming though.
With the Legion Y530, I didn’t have a problem taking it around. Because of it’s subtle and sleek design, it doesn’t scream “GAMING”; yet it doesn’t look like an ordinary laptop. I personally enjoy the black design and look of the laptop. Although the Y530 is made majority of plastic, it's still quite durable and still looks good. Lenovo changed the backlit keyboard from red to white which looks a lot better. The bezels around the screen (left, top, and right) are also quite thin compared to the last years model. Because of the thin bezel change, the webcam was moved to below the screen. So if you plan on using the webcam, be prepared to show off your nose and in addition to the other party seeing your knuckles a lot if you're typing. But, I’ll definitely make that trade any day; smaller bezels vs having the camera at the top. If you currently own the last year’s model, you’ll also notice that a lot of the ports have been placed in the back of the laptop. You’ll still have access to a USB 3.1 port on either side of the laptop. The reason for this is so that it offers better cooling. Overall, the thermals on the Y530 is pretty decent. When gaming, the CPU did get pretty hot (95c ~ 97c) while the GPU didn’t really heat up that much. The fans do get quite loud under load so make sure you have some headphones on. When it comes to the picture/screen quality, I wasn’t as impressed. I wished it was a bit brighter and the color reproduction was better. So if you were to use the Y530 in a more lit environment, you may have some difficulty viewing the screen. The 52.5Wh 3-cell lithium ion battery lasted about 4 hours with my usage which is typically expected with these type of setups. If you’re gaming on it constantly, the battery probably won’t last as long as 4 hours. So be prepared to bring your charger with you!
Here are a couple breakdown of pros and cons that I would like to mention as my own opinion:

Where it falls short on this specific model is with the traditional mechanical hard drive and the GTX 1050 Ti. Because of no SSD, the boot times and load times are pretty excruciating. I would say that if you’re on a really tight budget, this specific model may be for you. But if you’re able to dish out some more money for the version with an SSD, I would definitely recommend that.

Perfect Diaper Backpack. Stylish,Durable,Practical
on July 19, 2018
Posted by: MarkusKong

Modal - Diaper Backpack - Gray
My Thoughts:
Before getting the Modal Diaper Backpack, I’ve never heard of the name/brand “Modal”. Looking at the tag, I noticed that Modal is an affiliate of Best Buy. So I assume it’s a new start up by Best Buy. Let me say… I am extremely impressed. Being a father of 2, I can reassure you that this diaper backpack is definitely a great purchase. My spouse is also pretty picky when it comes to the diaper bag that we use. She even really likes it!
Not only is the Modal Diaper Backpack stylish, it’s well made with great quality materials. The zippers are smooth and don’t get caught. The backpack is made of polyester so it has some moisture protection. The internal pockets and nets are well stitched as I didn’t find any issues in mine. Wearing it is comfortable and it doesn’t look like a diaper backpack either.
I liked that I could put a pack of baby wipes on the side and have easy access to it. I enjoy being able to have a “safety” zippered pocket on the back of the backpack so that I can store my phone, keys, or wallet. To be honest, I liked pretty much everything about this diaper backpack. The only thing I can make a comment about is the included changing pad. It’s not the greatest, but I mean you’re not spending your money on a changing pad; you’re spending it on a good quality diaper backpack. You’re able to organize everything from diapers, to baby wipes, to a change of clothes, to milk/water bottles, to toys, to snacks, to lotions/sunscreen/ointment; all in the Modal Diaper Backpack.
In conclusion, you’re getting a well made and stylish diaper backpack from Modal. I would definitely recommend it to co workers and friends. Actually, I already recommended it to my co worker as he has a newborn baby. If you don’t believe me, go to your local Best Buy and check it out!

HP Chromebook X2. Detachable Keyboard Makes a Diff
on June 20, 2018
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
HP 2-in-1 12.3" Touch-Screen Chromebook (X2 12-F014DX)
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
The HP Chromebook X2 12-F014DX was designed to be an all in one solution for your everyday tasks and needs. With the ability to remove the keyboard completely instead of the traditional fold back design, you are able to use the HP Chromebook X2 as a tablet instead of just a laptop. The HP Chromebook X2 12-F014DX is the first of it’s kind to run Chrome OS. From personal experience, being able to remove the keyboard completely and not just fold it back makes a huge difference in the “feel” of the device itself. I own a Google Pixelbook and although I love the Pixelbook, when you fold back the keyboard to use it as a tablet, the feel is weird as you’ll push keys even though the keys are essentially non functioning.
Powered by an Intel Core M3-7Y30 Processor, you’ll be able to enjoy pretty powerful performance for everyday tasks while being power efficient and running minimal heat. The Intel Core M3-7Y30 is a dual core processor with a very low TDP which is 4.5W. The speed of the M3-7Y30 is clocked at 1.0GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.60GHz. The M3-7Y30 also has Hyper-Threading Technology and 4MB of level 3 cache. Some of you may be put off by the “Intel Core M3”. But let me reassure you, you’re getting a pretty powerful chip. This chip was used in the base 2017 Surface Pro. The Core M3 processor is almost identical to the i5 that is in the Pixelbook. The HP Chromebook X2 12-F014DX comes with 4GB of LPDDR3 memory clocked at 1600 along (NOT user accessible) with a very small storage of only 32GB, but it’s expandable to 256GB through the MicroSD card slot. So what this all means is that… You get a fanless, power efficient, and everyday performance tablet/laptop with the HP Chromebook X2 12-F014DX.
What attracts me the most with the HP Chromebook X2 is the design (build quality) and the high-resolution display. I love the exterior premium look where it’s a ceramic white finished by aluminum. The keyboard itself feels as good as it looks as it’s a leather like material finished by it’s stunning oxford blue color. Although the display is small with a diagonal size of 12.3”, it’s impressive 2K resolution (2400 x 1600) makes up for it. The glass is also Corning Gorilla Glass 4 so it’s durable and scratch resistant.
My only gripes/complaints here is that when I initially looked up the specs of the HP Chromebook X2, the keyboard was advertised as backlit. Unfortunately, the keyboard is not backlit which I feel like it should be standard nowadays. The other is the limited 32GB storage and no other higher spec’d models available for purchase.
In conclusion, I personally like the HP Chromebook X2. I can safely say I have officially made it my daily goto for all my personal needs. It covers everything from work to entertainment. The battery lasts me the day and the speakers project some pretty decent “loudness” when watching things on YouTube or Netflix. I really like being able to remove the keyboard and use it as a tablet. All my games that I played worked without any issues. In addition, HP also includes their Active Pen which is really nice. I got to personally mess with it and do some doodling and it was accurate (light/hard pressure). As mentioned above, the only things I wished that were different was the backlit keyboard and bigger storage. I guess the good thing is you can just get a MicroSD card and do that but I wished HP included a bit more storage from the beginning. As for the backlit keyboard, not much you can do there… In addition, if you’re planning to get “wowed” by the camera, I wouldn’t hold your breath. It’s nice that the HP Chromebook X2 comes with a camera, but it isn’t any spectacular. Anyways, go and check out the HP Chromebook X2 at your local BestBuy and see for yourself. Even with my gripe(s), I still would recommend the HP Chromebook X2.

The Upgrade to the LG UB970 (DOLBY VISION!!)
on May 30, 2018
Posted by: MarkusKong
from Torrance, CA
LG UBK90 (Streaming 4K Ultra HD Hi-Res Audio Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-Ray Player)
Setup/Testing/Conclusion
So the UBK90 is going to replace the UB970. There’s also a UBK80 which is a more affordable option. But keep in mind, UBK90 supports Dolby vision while the more affordable option UBK80 does not. Along with the support of Dolby Vision, with the UBK90 it has 2 HDMI ports while the UBK80 only has 1. Unlike the UB970, the UBK90 comes with Dolby Vision support right out of the box. Along with Dolby Vision support, the UBK90 of course supports HDR10.
With the UBK90, you’re going to need a 4K TV. I would definitely and highly recommend: LG - 65" Class - OLED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with HDR (OLED65C8PUA)
With the combo of the UBK90 paired with the OLED65C8PUA, you’re going to experience superb HDR quality, perfect images, beautiful colors, and extravagant blacks. Movies that I played are insane! I feel like one of those kids in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when something new gets presented to me.
With the UBK90, you’ll also be able to use the built-in apps to stream your favorite content. With a built-in media player, it’ll support a range of different file formats. What this means is that you can pop in a USB and enjoy your content on the UBK90. If you’re a Dolby Atmos and DTS:X fan, you’ll be glad to know that the UBK90 and the UBK80 support them both (along with a range of other audio formats). Oh! By the way, if you have any of your favorite DVDs, CDs, or 3D Blu-Rays; go ahead and pop them into the UBK90 as well because it supports those.
In conclusion, I would not hesitate to purchase the UBK90. I would definitely recommend it to a friend/co-worker. Get the UBK90 and pair it with the OLED65C8PUA, you will not be disappointed.

Hello Raymon, not at all. The Google Home app is free to download. All you need is to plug this thing in to an outlet and download the Google Home app.

Will you be able to take a phone call on this? I.e., do the mics function as a phone mic?
Hello Jordan, as of current no. You can't make phone calls either. When you try and tell Google Home to do anything that has to do with phone calls currently, it says it can't do that right now. So maybe Google will release that feature in the future? Not sure though...
