This laptop is small, fairly light and functional. You can get the majority of basic tasks done with it. It runs Windows 11, so you have all the familiarity of other computers you may have been used to. With a click of the corner of the mousepad, you have a number pad available, although it is a little odd to get used to. Other than having something light you can check the internet with or do some basic productivity type it doesn’t have much more going for it.
With that said, this has been one of the slowest laptops I have used in a good while. First off, it asks to connect to WiFi before you even get into Windows and you can only connect to 2.4Ghz. Then it took forever to run some updates, which essentially felt like it was trying to download the entire operating system. Then, once you finally get to the Windows details, you have to go through getting all of the updates for that as well. So, expect to spend the first couple hours of getting this laptop just to get it updated, despite having faster WiFi and internet available, the system just runs slow.
I know this is a budget laptop, but it feels like there could be a few things that would really help, like having a backlit keyboard. They show the feature of a “lay flat” display, but the screen is not a touch screen, so it doesn't even feel like it should go that far. The power adapter is an old style tip and I have no idea why it’s not a USB PD connection at this point in time. Again, I know I don’t expect much but the screen on this has a very small sweet spot. Anything off center the slightest and it is either too dark or too bright to read anything.
Overall, if you just need the barebones small, light laptop, this isn’t all that bad. However, I feel like there are better options out there. This one feels like it is lacking some common featured and too slow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Slightly frustrating at first
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: DavidJr
I’ve had 3 different thermostats now and this one is the “smartest” and smallest one I have had yet. The original was just a digital display, no real smart options to it. The second one was smarter, but still fairly basic. Now this one is too smart for its own good, which made it slightly frustrating, at first.
Before you get this one, it is highly recommended to use their compatibility checker on their site. It will ask you to verify your current thermostat settings, such as the wires that are connected and some other questions. The biggest thing being that this is only for heat pump units and if you need a common voltage adapter or not. With the information you get out of the compatibility check, you might need to purchase a separate power extender kit or a trim kit if you have the typical rectangular unit you want to cover up.
Once you have that out of the way, you will need to set up an Ecobee account and use the smart app on your mobile device. Otherwise, you can’t really take full advantage of the system and you need it for directions on how to install. However, you can do a lot of the settings directly on the unit.
Installation is fairly straightforward, power off your system at the circuit breaker, label the wires, remove them from the old system, mount and put them in the new system and turn everything back on. Putting the wires into the Ecobee system was easier than the old, because you don’t need a small screwdriver, just push them into the pressure clips. One thing I did not like though is that the Ecobee system does not snap really hard to the wall mount. My old one you really had to use some effort to pull it off the wall. The Ecobee unit can be bumped and fall off. Considering it sticks out a bit more from the wall than the typical unit, this could be an issue for some. It also does not contain any batteries like my older unit, so it has to go through a whole boot up process when you snap it back in place.
The one thing I found slightly frustrating with it is that it has a default schedule for specific times of the day. Of course, this is meant to help save energy by not using the system for best comfort during the day, when you might be at work, or at night when you might not need it to be so warm. However, I don't have a normal schedule and when I noticed it was colder than usual, I bumped up the temperature. However, it then shows that the temp is set till a certain time. A time which I still do not want it to be that cold. I then tried to change the default schedule, but it kept changing. I just found it easier to delete all the schedules, as it has them for every day, and set my own, manually.
I haven’t had it for over a month yet, so it doesn’t show the report of any savings, but it does show my daily runtime compared to reported local temperature and humidity compared to the actual indoor temperature and humidity.
I haven’t had it for over a month yet, so it doesn’t show the report of any savings, but it does show my daily runtime compared to reported local temperature and humidity compared to the actual indoor temperature and humidity.
The display is color and lit, so you can see everything even in the dark. With the default brightness it is plenty to tell the current temp without having to touch anything like my older unit needed. All of the settings you can change through the app can also be changed directly on the unit itself, just no reports on the unit like in the app.
Overall, once I was able to figure out and refine the schedule this little thermostat has been providing me more information than my older ones ever did. I look forward to seeing what my monthly report will look like and maybe adjust accordingly. Also, with some electric companies, I know you can also let them have some control over the settings and they provide a rebate, but personally, I prefer my comfort over that potential rebate, for now.

Mechanical keys, backlit, multi device & wireless
on March 6, 2025
Posted by: DavidJr
I have an older JLAB wireless keyboard and have really enjoyed it. However, having pretty much the same thing but with mechanical keys is even better.
I absolutely love the feel of the mechanical keys. Even though they claim to be “quiet”, they still make a fair bit of noise, which for me, I enjoy. It gives that added feedback that you have typed something. Personally, I feel like I type better, less typos, on a mechanical keyboard than their lower profile membrane keyboards.
One key feature that is a must have for me, is being able to connect to multiple devices. My main system does not have Bluetooth, so having the USB dongle is a must. However, one drawback, this one is USB-C only and does not come with an adapter to USB-A. However, luckily, I already had one from a device that I am not actively using. So consider getting an adapter if you also don’t have a space USB-C port.
The other two connections are through Bluetooth and quickly allow me to change between them, like a laptop or other capable device. Even with my old keyboard though, I wouldn’t mind if the lock key was in a different place, as I end up accidentally locking my computer as I go to select my main one. It’s nothing to swap back and unlock though, just like an occasional typo.
The back light is all white, except for a few select keys, like Caps Lock when on, Num Lock when cycled and the 2.4 button for connecting to the dongle are green and the 1 and 2 buttons for Bluetooth devices are blue when selected. To top it off, you don’t have to have any specific apps to use the keyboard as intended, even for the multi-function volume knob. However, if you want to reprogram the shortcuts for any of the function keys or change the Insert/Home/End key, shown as 1/2/3 on the keyboard, to any some other function, you can get the JLAB Work App from their site or on your mobile device.
This one is a fair bit heavier than the other one I have, but it is expected with the different key style. This one also has 3 levels of angle that you can keep it at with just the flip of the back feet. I believe some of the weight might also be for a larger battery as they claim “up to a year on a single charge”, but that is all subjective with use and LED backlighting. My previous one would go a couple weeks with regular daily use before a charge was needed. I’ve had this one for over a week and have not needed a charge yet. To conserve battery even more, you can always just turn it off when not in use with the switch in the top left.
Overall, I really do enjoy this keyboard. The smooth mechanical feel, the soft clack with my interactions, the subtle white back light to guide me in my low lit space and the feeling of a super nerd as I flip between 3 computers on the same keyboard. I wish it had come with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, but just like the power blocks that no one supplies for other electronics, they cut it out anywhere they can.

Easy 12 foot replacement cord
on March 6, 2025
Posted by: DavidJr
This Best Buy essentials™ 12 foot C7 Non-Polarized Power Cord is your basic, yet functional, “8 shaped” plug, as I usually refer to it, with both sides rounded. The Best Buy essentials™ - 12 foot C7 Non-Polarized Power Cord measures about an inch over 12 feet long from end to end and is not polarized, meaning one prong is not wider than the other, which allows for easy insertion into outlets regardless of the orientation of the plug, adding to its convenience, and allows it to even fit in to those older outlets. However, make sure that this is the proper cord for your product, as it does not offer any grounding and some products, like laptop power bricks, might have the same shape, but they are too power hungry for such a thin cord.
Having the 12 foot length, over the typical 3 foot or less cords, makes it so I don’t need an extension cord for my Bluetooth speaker. While the cord may not offer any groundbreaking features, it effectively serves its purpose. The cords construction feels durable
Overall, the Best Buy essentials™ - 12' C7 Non-Polarized Power Cord is pretty generic but it is an affordable choice for powering a wide range of electronic devices and serves its purpose well.

You get what you pay for
on January 3, 2025
Posted by: DavidJr
There is a reason the comment is often used, “you get what you pay for” and this is a good example of it. It’s not like you are out there dropping a grand on a state of the art cell phone that can do the latest and greatest. No, this is literally like the bare minimum, borderline feeling like one of those items you might win out of an arcade crane machine. This feels like a toddler toy, but I would not trust it with a child under 10. Sadly, I feel if you have ever let your child use a touch screen device before then, they aren’t going to enjoy getting this one.
This is a flashback to the early years of cell phones. Where you have to hit the number keys multiple times to get to the letter you need, over and over. Where you weren’t just touching a screen to do everything, but managing a directional pad through the basic menus. However, for those that remember the “simple times”, this might be right up your alley. Just go back to flipping the phone open and making calls. Forget all those other messenger apps and send a basic SMS that is as short as possible because you don’t want to type all that.
As mentioned above, this feels like a toddler toy in the all plastic design, even the mirror on the front warping like a kids plastic mirror. However, it is a fully functioning phone, where even the pre-installed games have misleading spam ads like so many other smart phone applications. It runs on KaiOS and it is slow to do practically everything. Even the time showing minutes delayed on the screen compared to the time in the corner. But, it functions, it is a phone and has the Barbie fair to go with it. You can stay with the default pink or swap out the back for two other designs and put any of the included stickers to make it your own. As an added bonus, unlike so many other phones these days, it actually comes with a standard charger with USB-C end. The wire is built into the charger, but since most things are USB-C now, that doesn't matter much.
Overall, it’s got all the retro vibe and Barbie design, but I would not trust this with a young child as it does not feel very durable. It’s along the value of other “burner” style phones, but you're also getting a brand on it too. So, it is a hard to place device for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not for noisy environments
on December 29, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
First off, you have to get the SteelSeries Arctis app for your phone or the Steel Series GG app to make decent use of these headphones. If you ever want to update them, it has to be the PC app and there have been a couple updates already. With the app installed, there is the option to disable the volume limiter as it is defaulted on for EU and their limitations. That instantly made the headphones better as by default their audio felt very small. Also with the app, you can modify the EQ or enable Sonar, which essentially is just EQ for individual applications. Some of the specific Sonar settings for games were really not to my liking, but that is why you can customize it yourself.
Quality of the audio is OK. No matter the EQ setting I felt like I could never reach a good bass. Even with trying to get a deeper seal in my ear with a different size of silicone tip, it just never really sounded great.
The functions of the headset are by physically pushing in on the respective earbud. Personally I really dislike that method as it sometimes messes with the fitting that you may have had perfect. Why not just touch sensitive?
The pushing is fairly light compared to some I have tried though. With 3 taps of the right earbud, you can switch between 2.4 and Bluetooth mode. There are some single and double tap settings that you can modify with the app, that is not one of them. But, this allows you to connect to your phone and your PC or Xbox, pending what you have the tiny dongle switched and connected to.You can not listen to both devices at the same time, it is one or the other. However, if you are listening on 2.4 mode and connected to a phone via Bluetooth, when you get a call, it will automatically switch to Bluetooth mode. While on a call or in game chat, everyone said it sounded distant, kind of like being on speaker phone. It is kind of expected I guess, but at least they could clearly he\ar me.
The biggest issue I have had with them, and support has said they can’t recreate the issue, is that when ANC is on and listening to audio, high end sounds just sound awful. Basically the top end sounds are replaced with static. Now, I don’t consider my area a high noise area, but you can hear the PC fans and a floor fan and when I enable ANC it works well. I can truly hear the difference. However, listening to any other audio at the same time pretty much makes the headset sound like they are blown out. Maybe this is something they can fix with a future firmware update once they can reproduce the issue, but I tried 3 different headsets and they all had the same issue.
Overall, they are not bad multipurpose earbuds, they just aren’t as good as I would expect from the brand, especially the ANC issue I have experienced. Besides needing the app for anything else, I don’t feel they stand out from any other headsets.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Protect your electronics.
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
It is pretty essential to have some sort of surge protection for your electronics. It’s much better to have to replace the power strip than try and replace that TV, sound system or any other electronics you might have hooked up. Plus, everything is using USB and not coming with power blocks any more. So, for example you have a TV, sound bar and a TV stick of some sort, then likely the TV stick just needs USB power and sometimes the TV power just isn’t enough to keep them powered.
The flat angled plug is nice for being plugged up behind furniture and not requiring additional space just for the wire sticking out of the wall. Top that with the 6ft of cord and you can run this just about anywhere. There are 7 outlets and one of them is offset for larger power blocks. The wattage on the USB ports will run or charge most things, but it is not powerful enough to push some devices into the super or fast charge modes. But, for most cases it is more than enough.
It has 2 LEDs for “protected” and “grounded” which some older houses still don’t have proper grounding and you know you should be protected from any surges. With the added fact that they have a “$200,000 connected equipment guarantee”, I’d say it is a decent investment over some cheaper brand surge protector that just boasts a red light. Just a shame it didn’t offer 45W output for the USB-C port to support larger devices.

Loud, but can’t handle to much over 2.4
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
Whether over Bluetooth, USB or 2.4 Ghz dongle, one thing is for sure, these things can put out some sound. I usually find myself trying to boost audio on some headphones, as they just don’t sound loud enough. These on the other hand I’ve actually had to use the volume knob to turn them down as they are louder than I can handle. They’re pretty comfortable as they hold snug to my head, but they might not sit well with a small head as they are on their shortest setting with my big head. They have a lot of extension which you would have to have an abnormally large head if you were to need that, just you can’t make them any smaller and if they set off the top of the head any, they start to lose that confort pretty quick.
You can have these connected by the hyperspeed 2.4Ghz dongle and Bluetooth at the same time and swap easily between them with a double tap of the mode button. However, if you are wired it is wired only. Also, sometimes it will have issues if it is connected by 2.4Ghz and you expect it to connect to your Bluetooth device, but it won’t connect until you double tap the button to force it into Bluetooth mode for a moment. Now, this does allow you to swap between them and it will interrupt the 2.4Ghz connection if a call comes through, but it is one or the other. Sometimes, it also has a tough time swapping back to the 2.4Ghz automatically, with all kinds of interesting sounds till it gets back to full audio.
The Razer Synapse and Croma software for PC is where you get to customize things, like EQ and mic audio as well as the coloring of the 9 LEDs on the sides. I feel the software is essential though, as the microphone audio, according to people I was playing with, sounded cheap and tiny, till the software changed things. However, I feel like the software and enabling THX spatial also caused too much traffic for the connection and constantly caused audio distortion. Especially when I am in audio chat and playing a game. I can clearly hear a difference when it is connected by USB though. When I disabled the audio features, the distortion went away for the most part. There were still occasional interruptions, which could just be 2.4Ghz congestion as well. Also, the LED lights are neat, but their color just does not seem to match what you pick. They always seem to be like a pastel version of the color as it is diffused. But, unless you are streaming and want to show off the Razer logo, there isn’t much purpose for them. Unless, you know, the RGB’s make you pro!
Overall, the 70 hour long battery life, without the LEDs on, the loud clear audio, better while wired, and the option to do 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth with the push of a button is nice. However, I am a little disappointed in the 2.4Ghz connection. Plus, the very strange and somewhat disturbing sounds it makes trying to swap back to the 2.4Ghz after a Bluetooth call makes me want to take off the headphones before it happens.

Hear you loud and clear!
on November 27, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
My dad has always raved about his old BlueParrot headset. He was driving an old tanker style truck delivering propane with the “2/55 AC”, which was the windows rolled down at 55MPH. So, you can imagine the noise. But, people on the other side would think he was yelling because he’s trying to talk over all the noise. Come to find out, you don’t need to overcompensate, just talk normally. Over the years it seems like they still maintain superior noise cancellation and just keeping up with the smart tech.
As for the added tech, the BlueParrot button can be assigned to your preference in the BlueParrot app. By default it is mute/unmute of the mic, but you can make it speed dial, function for a different app, work with voice command with a single tap, give battery status or work as the multi-function button of another Bluetooth paired device. I feel having the voice commands is the best as you can have it do multiple other functions so you can remain hands free. But, the power button can also be used for your phone's smart assistant.
This can be worn on either ear as the microphone can flip all the way around or be tucked up to the headband so it is out of the way. There are some other buttons that do not appear so obvious, they are for track forward/back and changing the noise canceling of the headset on/off or into hear through mode. For the most part, it’s fairly comfortable to wear. I do wish there was just a little more padding on the non-ear piece side, but that does help it from slipping off. Speaking of the other side, you can buy an additional ear cup and turn this into stereo headphones, which isn’t the best for driving, but when you aren’t, you don’t have to swap headphones to listen to your phone.
Charge time will last you about a day and a half, pending usage as all things batteries are. The range on this is pretty impressive too. Can easily walk about the garage without carrying the phone everywhere.
Overall, if you work around a noisy environment and need to have an ear free for safety, these are the best I’ve ever seen. I feel they could use just a bit more volume on my side, but the ANC helps with that a bit. Certainly makes it easier for the other side to hear you with that “96% background cancelation” they have though.

Strangest position to charge ever?
on November 27, 2024
Posted by: DavidJr
I‘ve had a fair amount of JLAB headphones over the years and they all have done me pretty good for the price. These are still good on-ear active noise canceling headphones, they just disappointed me in the connection process.
You can connect to these in 4 different ways, which is really just 3 depending on where you put the dongle, but the thing is, it is one method or the other. So, if you hook the dock to a PC, by default it will use the 2.4 Ghz dongle that is in the front of it. That is the only mode it will now work in. However, instead of leaving the USB-C dongle in the dock, you can also place it directly into a USB-C port and that will be the only mode it will work in. Another method is to plug the USB-C cord directly from your device to the headset, which takes priority over the dongle. The other method, which is the lowest on the priority list is Bluetooth. However, you can connect to 2 different Bluetooth devices and it will switch between those 2 devices depending on which one is active. There is no way to swap between the dongle and Bluetooth unless the dongle is disconnected. If you are using a PC to charge, you can pull the dongle out and put it in the storage space on the side of the docking stand. So, it’s not like you are listening to your PC and just swap over to a phone call via Bluetooth.
Now, I feel that is the only thing you need to understand about the headset before going in, as everything else works as expected. It is pretty simplified with the power button having some different functions based on taps and holds, volume button with double tap having track skip/back and the JLAB button on the side to cycle through ANC On/Off and “Be Aware” modes. The headset is light, discreet and feels like it is meant for work. Not looking like you are trying to close out the world and easy to notice you are using them. The little microphone is flip to mute, but picks up audio clearly for conversations.
As mentioned in the title, the docking station is the charger and the way you rest the headphones on it is the strangest method I have ever seen. However, it keeps them balanced and holding with a bit of magnetism. The battery life on these things are insane though, so you might only need to charge them every 3 days or so, or course pending use and ANC. If connected to your phone, you can use the JLAB app to customize your audio settings and get updates.
Overall, these are good noise cancelling headphones that are best if connected to Bluetooth on both your PC and phone. Otherwise, you have to pick and choose and unplug the dongle if you want to use Bluetooth in the specific setting.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

Upgrade your home office with this Dell Inspiron desktop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM let you multitask seamlessly, and the 1TB hard drive offers plenty of storage for photos and games. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 27-inch FHD wide-angle touch screen display for watching your favorite videos.
Has anyone played any games on this unit ? I know it’s not a gaming system , however just wondering if anyone has tried any games.
For an example, I tried to play Battlefield V, which I was surprised that it loaded, but quickly crashes. I kind of expected this as their minimum requirements are for a higher graphics card, which this one has an integrated Intel UHD 630. Games like Sims 4 and other less intensive games work just fine. With the HDMI input, you can always just hook up a PS/Xbox.

Listen to your TV or music wirelessly without disturbing others.
Can you have 2 sets of headphones working on the same tv ?
You cannot pair another pair of headphones with the base station. However, you could use a second set with the RCA cables. There is an IN and OUT on the base station, so you could essentially take the audio from your device, like a TV, to one base station using RCA cables and OUT to the the IN of the other base station.

Samsung's website indicates this TV comes with "OneRemote" technology that automatically detects and controls your connected devices and content with no manual programming required. What are the limitations? What types of devices does this work with?
The One Remote will automatically work with devices that it identifies through HDMI, especially other Samsung products. However, if it does not recognize the device and gives a generic device, you can manually set it to possibly provide some functionality. Most common cable/satellite boxes, all in one sound systems, media players and DVD/Blu-ray players will get basic functionality such as volume, play/pause while some use the colored button function.
