Beautiful Lamp!!
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
I love this lamp! Upon its arrival, I was both excited and afraid to open the box and put this lamp to usage. The excitement came from opening it to pleasantly find out it was larger than expected and the nervousness came from being afraid that in my haste to set it up, I would accidentally drop it! The lamp is beautiful—I have chosen to place it on my bedroom’s night stand. The hue from the light is wonderful in so much that it isn’t harsh on the eyes. I know that the unit is controlled via a Bridge app with Alexa voice controls to dim its lightening, cut it on and off, but at this point I haven’t invested in the Bridge app. However, I am enjoying the lamp for its aesthetics and soft hue that it gives.

Awesome Blue Tooth Speaker!!
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
JBL has done a wonderful job with this intuitive Bluetooth speaker! The unit arrived packaged exceptionally well within a nice enclosure with a carrier handle. Setup was very user friendly and easy to employ! Wow, I must say that “Google Assistant” is far superior to “Alexa” in my humble opinion. As an owner of both, Google Assistant responds so much easier, informative and reliable. There are times I can ask “Alexa” questions and I either get, “I don’t know” or anything! JBL has certainly lived up to its name with great bass, clear audio and reliable communications. I immediately requested “Google Assistant” to play my Pandora list and this task was quickly and efficiently done. Overall, AWESOME JOB JBL!!!

Needs Improvements!!
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
The Epson ProSense 57 watch does a great job of monitoring of one’s heart and physical activities, but as a “Smart Phone” there are some short comings. Firstly, the watch gives you several options to set up either via phone, PC, or watch. I elected to download the app and use ‘set by phone.’ Next, I implemented the app, “Epson View”. Initially, I ran into a quick message relating to failure to install; however, I quickly recovered and completed the download process that included a firmware update. As I aforementioned, the app is very intuitive and does a wonderful job at its core function, “monitoring” of the heart. The app keeps tracks of sleep time, physical activities, steps taken and calories burned. I especially like how information is updated on a frequent basis. Moreover, there are some great 3rd party apps that can be used to aid in one’s workout needs.
Now, that I have mentioned the good, the not so good is that this watch does not do a great job of smart phone activities which is something that I need in a watch. In “My Watch” settings is where you can sync your phone in “notifications” in order to receive Emails, text messages and phone call alerts. Initially this process was problematic, but after completing one final step the app has begun to work better. The watch responds to incoming calls well and E-mails; however, I will note, I am unable to read the actual email messages, only the notification alert of a new E-mail. Unfortunately, the app does not alert me to incoming text messages which is something I was hoping that it would do. I will note, this may very well be some type of software incompatibility issue that exists with Android.
I charge the watch on a daily basis due to the fact, I keep my Bluetooth active. The charging doesn’t take too long; however, I was hoping for at least 2 days of performance without having to charge.
Aesthetically, the watch isn’t very pretty, it looks tailored for heavy duty activities such as mountain climbing, hiking, rock climbing and the likes thereof. Also, I wish Epson would design some interchangeable bands. I am aware that this model comes with a black, green and red band, but it would be nice to have an array of colors to select from.
Truthfully, I am on the fence about this watch because as I mentioned, it does a great job at its core function, “monitoring of the heart” but I think it needs some improvements, which probably will come with firmware updates.

Awesome Protector!!
on December 7, 2017
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
Bitdefender is a robust protection anti-virus program that quietly controls your system but does not cause any interruptions in your normal work flow while on computer. The software was very easy to download and install. It does a great job of scanning your computer for viruses, malware, adware, trojans and the like. I was apprehensive that installing this software may cause lags or obtrusive interruptions, but to my surprise it has not slowed my computer down. 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 when adding this product.

As a user of Adobe software for many years, this product continues to keep Adobe in the fore front when it comes to editing, converting, scanning and reading of PDF documents. I especially like how comprehensive this program is. The program once downloaded, requested to make Adobe my primary user of PDF documents, which converted all my scanned documents and saved PDF's effortlessly. Thus far, the program is intuitive with interactive applications that will help you in learning and doing new things. Suffice to say, whether you’re a novice or expert user this program will integrate seamless!

Meet My New Assistant!
on November 25, 2017
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
I love this device! The set up was very easy. After downloading the app, “Garmin Speak” in addition to “Amazon Alexa” I was set to go after a few updates. I like the following about the device:
*How small and compact the device is. I was able to stick it in area of my front window that does not distort my view while driving.
*I love how Alexa provides me with weather, playlist of songs, news, along with the basic information that I need on a daily basis to keep me abreast of my day.
*The audio voice speaks well with great clarity.
*The device plugs into my cigarette lighter firmly as this is welcomed because in the past I have purchased cell phone chargers that didn’t stick well after insertion.
Overall, I am quite pleased with this product and its performance. I am thrilled that I have a reliable system both in home and car!

Forward-thinking Design!!

These buds were easy to sync, use and workout in. The buds synced seamlessly with my smartphone. I have walked for a few days wearing them and they were very comfortable. I was afraid that the hook would interfere with my glasses, but the fit, feel and comfort overall was second to none. The sound they produced while walking was good.
I did answer a call while wearing these and I did not experience any lag, cutouts or choppy communications. I do recommend these for gym workouts, walking, running along with day to day tasks that free up hands from a physical phone.

User-friendly Software

from Birmingham, AL
Adobe has done a great job of enhancing this software in order to create, edit, and enhance photos. The software does take some time to down load because of the many features that it has to offer. The ease of usage is user friendly, no matter if one is at the novice or advance stage. I personally used it to tweak some facial features on a few pictures and the process was easily done. I recommend this software to anyone who wants to create their own personal photo shop collection!

Nice In-Ear Headphones!
on November 9, 2017
Posted by: ExcellentEducator
from Birmingham, AL
These Plantronic inner-ear buds are user-friendly from most aspects. They synced and paired with my Samsung Note Edge easily. The design is simple and responsive. The sound from these is good with clear communications. Also, I don’t hear distortion or dead air which is always a plus. The only minus, I see is where the control is placed as it isn’t easily accessible when wearing them. I wish Pantronics would have designed it to be more flexible.
If you’re looking for a good pair of inner ear buds that have interchangeable buds to accommodate your inner ear canal, these buds may work for you!

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.

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!
