Geofencing is not reliable
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: mmnc
I bought one of these cameras off Amazon after seeing the great reviews - however I ultimately decided to return it. The camera itself works great, but I had a lot of issues with the mode switching. I could not get the geofencing to work with my wife's phone. I would leave for work, and it would arm - despite the fact that she was still home. Other times it would not go into disarmed mode when I returned home. The software appears to be holding this one back from being a reliable solution

Not ready for prime time
on June 26, 2017
Posted by: mmnc
I had to return this one today after a frustrating few hours. The camera itself works great - easy set up, video quality is good and it provides a nice wide view of the room. However, the software is just not reliable enough yet.
My main issue came with the geofencing option - ideally you want this thing to arm automatically when you leave and then go into disarmed mode when you are home. Everything started okay today - went into armed mode when I left for work, disarmed when my wife returned home. However, when I got home it went back to armed mode - which makes no sense - and refused to return to disarm. No amount of resetting or removing and re-adding could get the mode to switch back to disarmed.
On another note - the batteries for this device are VERY expensive. Netgear states you cannot use just any C130 batteries - they have to be compatible with Arlo - there are some brands that work that go for $25 for a 4 pack that work - but the recommended rechargeables (by Tenergy) are $50!

Returned my Xbox One S
on February 23, 2017
Posted by: mmnc
I couldn't decide between the PS4 Slim and the Xbox One S, so I decided to try both. They both have their advantages, but in the end I decided to go with the PS4. I like the feel of the controllers better, navigating through the menus feels a lot snappier on PS4 (Windows 10 on Xbox One just seems to get in the way of actually using the thing).
Another big factor for me was that on Xbox One, free games (in my case Star Trek: Online) that use online play, still require you to pay for Gold - this is not the case on PS4.

Hands down, best Chromebook
on February 23, 2017
Posted by: mmnc
I have owned several Chromebooks over the last few years, and this one is by far the best! Yes, in some cases the android apps could use a little more polish, but for the most part they work exactly like they do on an android phone or tablet.
I have not experienced the crashing / glitches that the verge complained about in their reviews - but they were testing the Chromebook Pro (which uses an Intel processor, instead of ARM).
I liken the experience right now to the early days of Windows 10 - a few bugs here and there, but it is a usable product with a lot of potential!

Great as a spare
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: mmnc
Bought this to use as a spare charging cable at work. I have a few lightning cables at home, but I wanted something cheap I could use at work if my phone was running out of juice. This fit the bill perfectly.

A Must Buy
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: mmnc
Forget third party cases and covers and stands. Whenever I upgrade to a new iPad or get one for a family member, the official Apple Smart Cover is the first thing I buy. Not only does it protect the screen, but it folds into a really convenient stand for watching videos in landscape.

Best tablet keyboard
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: mmnc
I was looking for a Surface-like keyboard for my iPad and this fits that description perfectly! The Keys-To-Go key style is somewhat of hybrid of the soft keys of the original Surface keyboard and the one with the physical keys for the Surface Pro 3. If you ever used the original Surface keyboard, then you know how difficult it was to type on.
That is not the case with Keys-To-Go. You get great feedback when typing and it is just like using a real keyboard!

First smart watch I love
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: mmnc
I was an early adopter of smart watches - in the past I have owned a first gen Pebble, an LG G Watch, Microsoft Band, as well as the original Moto 360. So far the Apple Watch has been my favorite to wear. I'm not sure if the 42mm version is more bulky, but I barely notice that the 38mm version is there. The taptic feedback is probably one of my favorite features. All of the previous watches had more of your usually vibration motor, and it made getting a notification a slow form of torture over time. The taptic is just gentle tap on your wrist that lets you know something is happening on your watch.

Great quality!
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: mmnc
Bought this to replace an older Samsung flat screen when it was onsale before the Super Bowl. Really great TV for a lower price. We weren't interested in paying more for a "Smart TV" since we already had a streaming player (a $35 Chromecast can do more than what some of these Smart TVs can do at a much higer cost). Sure, you could get something with 4K or whatever the latest TV fad is, but right now it really isn't worth the extra money for my needs. This TV has a huge screen and is perfect for streaming and watching broadcast tv.

Replaced a Nexus Player
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: mmnc
Bought this to replace a Nexus Player, as we started to run into numerous streaming issues after the Android 6.0 update. The Roku Stick has been great! Sure, it is a little sluggish when navigating between menus on Netlix and YouTube (the main menus and hulu do not seem to be affected). But once you get a stream started, there are little to no issues with playback. The fact that you get something the size of a chromecast, but also have an included remote makes this a great buy.
