A Dependable Monitor!!
on October 15, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
My initial impression of this monitor after unboxing was how light and thin it was! Dell has done a great job in how easy it is to assemble out of the box all one has to do is, input the neck into the monitor and listen for a click which indicates its firmly locked in place followed by the base which is attached to 2 screws followed by a twist to make sure its securely attached. The following are pros and cons of the monitor:
Pros:
• Size-the size of this monitor is 24 inches which gives a very scenic view.
• Resolution-the resolution on this monitor is the standard 1920 X 1080 at 76 Hz refresh rate. Images are clear and concise to view. I have not personally experienced any distortion. Additionally, the brightness is at 250 cd/m².
• 2 HDMI inputs are housed in back of this monitor. I found this feature to be helpful due to the fact, I plan to hook up several of my laptops from time to time for more robust viewing.
• Reasonably priced if you’re in need of a dependable monitor at budget pricing.
Cons:
• The buttons that adjust viewing preferences are housed under the monitor which makes it hard to adjust. I am a visual person as such, I like to see how each button works without having to look upside down.
• I wish that the monitor had speakers housed within the base.
• The stand while its firmly planted, it does not have varied tilting options.
Overall, I do recommend this monitor as it has great picture resolution and clarity all at affordable pricing!!

Peace of Mind for Parents!!!
on October 10, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Moms and dads of new “little” ones can get a peaceful night’s sleep thanks to Panasonic’s home connected video monitor. Let’s jump right in! What makes this unit so remarkable is the awesome video and audio quality which deliver immense range. The picture this monitor projects is crystal clear and not grainy as some cameras can be. I know this feature is great as parents are awakened during the night by their babies and being able to take a peek and get a good clear image delivers immense peace of mind. Additionally, the movement detection sensors are great on this monitor as well.
Overall, this unit offers robust features and most importantly peace of mind to parents!

Maximum Security!!
on September 29, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Bitdefender keeps on adding protection that makes you feel, that your computer is protected from every possible standpoint! They’ve enhanced what was already great with more robust security features such as web attack prevention, online banking protection, safety for files etc; all while quietly controlling your system but does not cause any interruptions in your normal work flow while on your computer. The software was very easy to download and install by inputting a code. It does a great job of scanning your computer for viruses, malware, adware, trojans and the like. Because of previous usage, I was comfortable installing this software which prevents lags or obtrusive interruptions, with optimal performance on my computer. I ran a speed test after installation, surprisingly my speeds were still performing at a high rate. I commend Bitdefender for the robust protection along with ease of usage which makes this a seamless process.

A Beast of A Mouse!!!
on September 25, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Let me open with, “Logitech hit the ball out of the park with this one!” I was a bit apprehensive because of the fact that this is a “wired” mouse, but the way Logitech has designed this, it is as easy to use as a “wireless” mouse. This mouse has extreme robust features such as:
 Sensor-The sensor on this mouse is so smooth that I literally forget that it is wired because of the nice coiled cord that accompanies this mouse. The cord is durable in strength and long in length. Moreover, I don’t feel restricted when surfing with this mouse.
 The programmed buttons are a force to reckon with as they give great clicking flexibility. There is a little tray that houses additional buttons if needed.
 The color spectrum that this mouse produces is just beautiful! The color spectrum of blue, yellow, red, purple and green is so beautiful to look at. Additionally, the colors work with the programmed buttons seamlessly. I only wish I had a gaming keyboard to accompany this beast of a mouse. To know that this lighting is customizable is another plus as well.
 Point & Click-the point and click on this mouse have such great precision and accuracy.
 Design-The design of this mouse is great as it feels so comfortable in hand, which makes it easy to maneuver no matter what type of surface it’s used on.
It is wonderful to know that Logitech really has invested into the gaming industry and want to stay ahead by upgrading their products to suit their customers’ wants and needs. I have several of Logitech’s mice and with performance alike this one, I’ll definitely be a repeat customer! Well-done Logitech, you are a force to reckon with for years to come!!!

Brother's Products Are Awesome!!!
on September 25, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The Brother ADS-1700W scanner is a portable scanner with robust features. The scanner has an LCD touchscreen that is easily readable. Setup of this machine was a seamless process as I chose Wi-Fi setup. The recognition of my Wi-Fi was picked up and synced easily to my desktop PC. This scanner has great features such as:
o Duplex scanning
o 20 Sheet Automatic Document Feeder
o Plastic ID card slot
o Scan to PC, E-mail, Network FTP/SFTP and USB
o Wireless connectivity
o USB
Scans are clear and crisp as I adjusted my machine to 600dpi in order to achieve great scan results. I am pleased to report that Brother did not disappoint in this category. I will note, I have several of Brother’s printers as I have found them to integrate well with the technology that I use. The only adjustment I had to make was the upgrade from PaperPort version12 to 14 which is the latest version. I have elected this program to house all of my scans. I was able to cut and paste the older scans from Paper12 to 14 seamlessly.
I highly recommend Brother as they manufacture reliable products with robust performance and features at economical pricing. Also, their products are user-friendly and easy to integrate across multiple platforms. They have a slogan, “Brother at your Side” which is factually correct!

Sometimes Simple Is Good!
on September 19, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Wow, Sony has created another staple that enhances everyday productivity in a small way. The appearance of this Bluetooth speaker is small and compact, yet simple to use. I was elated to discover that an app was not needed in order to make this work. My Bluetooth instantly discovered and successfully paired the SRS-XB01 to my Android cell phone. Thereafter. I received a rich immersive sound packed with punch in such a small setting. The battery life is amazing as I have not needed a charge as of yet.
So, if you’re looking for an everyday sound mate that produces great sound, then don’t look any further, because Sony has designed one for you that’s worth taking a look at!

Good Router/Modem!!!
on September 4, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The Arris Surfboard is a good router with robust features. The set up was very easy because I am familiar with Arris due to the fact, I have used their product in the past. I am pleased with the performance of this product thus far. The only deal breaker for me is the McAfee Antivirus protection. It is well known that this product does not provide adequate coverage; to the contrary, it provides little to no protection, as I have used it in the past only to receive dismal results. It is more of a nuisance than it is helpful.
Again, if you are in need of a modem/router that gives optimal performance, I do recommend this product without reservation.

As a person who works from home, this headset has come in handy! I love the added features such as Bluetooth capabilities, passive noise cancellation, busy light, tap to connect and the wonderful 10-hour battery life.
I teach on-line classes, and sometimes, I have to move around for a few minutes, having the range to maneuver because of the range on this headset has been a sheer joy! Moreover, I don’t receive static or disconnects when I have to step away. Needless to say, this headset points to win, win, win for me!

A Robust Scanner!!
on August 23, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
This is a scanner that has multiple benefits such as two-sided scanning, scanning of business documents, cards, etc. The setup of this machine was easy as the only requirement is to go to Epson’s website and download the software and from there, you’re in business and good to go.
The only problem that I encountered was after downloading Epson’s app from the Google Playstore for my cell phone, I was unable to make a connection when authenticating. I don’t know if this is an issue with the software being so new; however, after multiple attempts, I couldn’t make a connection. Perhaps a future update will change this.
Overall, the performance of the machine is great, as such, I do recommend this scanner as it has robust features.

Sonos & Sonace Rules & Rocks Hard!!!
on August 12, 2018
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The Sonos speaker system arrived a day late; nonetheless, it looked great! As some of my fellow reviewers have stated, it’s a huge “all in one” box that houses speakers, amp, keypad and accessories such as brackets and nails. After unboxing and finding a nice unit, here is what I discovered:
Setup:
Setup for me was “tricky” in so much that I have never dealt with wires; therefore, I requested my neighbor who has an electronics background for assistance. I will state, I was a good student as I watched what was a seamless process. I will quickly note, I elected to put this unit in-door which has worked out thus far. Back to setup, firstly, I downloaded the Sonos app from Apple’s app store since the keypad only works with IOS, I used my Ipad Air for this process. Seemingly, everything went well; however, after conclusion of the setup process, I could not hear any music coming from the amp. After, re-checking my steps, still “no music” was heard! Therefore, I went back to the drawing board and since I am an avid Android cell phone user, I downloaded the app from the Android store which was a seamless process because I was already a registered user; therefore, everything synced up and I was in business with AWESOME sound coming from the amp!! Shortly afterwards, I went back to my iPad and uninstalled the Sonos app and then reinstalled in which I got everything working properly! After reassessing, what I did incorrectly, the only thing I may have missed was the selection of the Amp during setup while on IOS.
Lastly, I downloaded the app for the keypad in which the first two tries were unsuccessful; however, the third try was the charm as the firmware needed an update which didn’t take long. The keypad works well and it’s very useful as it controls sound seamlessly.
Sound:
The sound produced from the speakers is wonderful! The sound is just pure without any scratching and/or distortion. The bass is good. While I am not an audiophile, I do know and appreciate good sound quality which comes from these amazing sounding speakers! During setup, I added Pandora, Audible, Amazon Music and Calm Radio which has some amazing jazz music along with other genres. I elected to listen to “smooth jazz” and man it sounds great as only jazz produces a language, sometimes intimate, boisterous, but always layered with immense sound experiences.
Notes:
If by chance you don’t have an iPhone and/or iPad, you can still download the Sonos app from the Android store and control your music via that channel. Unfortunately, the keypad only works with IOS (Apple) for now; however, I am hopeful after Sonos’s reps read these reviews, they’ll add access for Android devices to their keypad. I personally see usage of both apps for dual purposes in so much, if I don’t want to turn on my iPad for music control, I can just use my phone to access/control my music.
Recommendation:
Yes, I recommend this audio streaming bundle if you’re wanting a great sounding outdoor as well as indoor experience. It’s great for summer outdoor entertainment as well as indoor entertainment.

Keyboard
By Pudge
I needed a basic keyboard since the one on my lap top stopped working. It worked fine for a few weeks. Having a problem now, It types Caps without putting on the Cap key, It skips spaces. Then the next day It will be fine for awhile and do the same thing again. Only paid $12.99 for it and that is just about what it is worth. I have had it over a month and as I said it was great for about 2 weeks.

No CD/DVD Rom Drive
By Hpandme
It's my fault for not reading the fine print but I now realize that this desktop does not have a CD/DVD Rom Drive. This is important to me since I do play games on my computer. It's smaller than the picture looks...about the size of a gallon of milk and I just got it , so I don't have any comments yet on the performance. The keyboard is compact too, wish it was wireless. Otherwise, a great buy.

I have the same desktop; however, it is with the i3 processor. Yes, it does come with a keyboard and mouse which are both paired. As a result, all one needs to do is plug and play. The desktop comes with several ports if a person desires to use an external CD/DVD player, the unit can accommodate the need by using one of the USB ports. I have an extra keyboard (which is bigger) and mouse that I use along with the included keyboard and mouse. So, if the included keyboard and mouse are not to your satisfaction, there are several USB ports that can be used to accommodate something else.

is this an all in one meaning it will print/fax and copy? Does it require a phone line to work as a fax?

Elizabeth,

Yes, this is an all in one printer that offers print, fax, copy and scan capabilities. From the best of my understanding, faxing has to be done through a traditional land line as there is an included phone line within the box.

Yes, Velop dual-band mesh integrates well with AT&T internet service as I have AT&T as my internet provider and Velop plugged into their modem. I hope this helps!

Velop with Intelligent Mesh™ Technology is an award-winning family mesh Wi-Fi system created to work seamlessly together.

Regardless of shape, size, or wherever your Internet comes in, Velop can be customized to your home. Which makes it easy to add more nodes as your home and family expand. Unlike traditional routers with range extenders, each node provides a powerful Wi-Fi signal throughout your entire home. It continuously self-organizes and optimizes to find the fastest path to the Internet for seamless Wi-Fi everywhere. Individual nodes may be connected wirelessly or by Ethernet for fast, reliable connection. This is an ultrasimple and powerful system that uses only one Wi-Fi network name and password to give you seamless and secure Wi-Fi. And leading-edge security lets you block content and easily pause the Internet for dinner or homework. It works with all Internet service provider supplied equipment and speeds, and its simple app-based setup will get you up and running in minutes.
 

Trying to find a system that works in a house over 4000 sq feet. WiFi extenders didn’t work. Have a Spectrum WiFi router. What router is compatible w/Spectrum that I can use with mesh system. Do nodes just plug in? Will be used for iPads and phones only.

Bellablue,

I think Velop could possibly be your answer in getting the adequate coverage you need in your home. I previously had Spectrum and Velop integrated fine with their modem. Basically, you plug the main node into your provided modem from Spectrum and the accompanying 2 nodes you place them throughout your home where you may experience lag, dead spots, buffering, etc... The cool thing as you place the nodes throughout your home, the downloaded app (required) is going to let you know if you've placed it in a place where the signals can communicate well. Yes, you can use iPads, phones, computers, printers, scanners, smart locks, gaming devices, etc whatever needed and Velop can handle it and provide you with robust coverage.

Lastly, Linksys has this product in various packages from single to triple nodes; so, you get to choose what is needed based on the square footage of your home. I hope this info helps some!
