Versatile Mobility With Little Compromise
on September 28, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
I had always wanted the thrill of a projector, but had some misconceptions. Projectors are too big, too difficult to mount, and can never be moved. Or so I thought.
This projector corrected those misconceptions right out of the box. I easily had it set up and properly framed in 30 minutes. I referred to nothing other than the quick set up sheet and the intuitive controls and adjustments. I ran a long HDMI cable from my receiver, which gave the most flexibility for placement. At 10 to 12 feet from the wall, the projected picture was huge and crisp. I don't have a screen yet. I have got to decide where to mount one. My impressions on the picture quality come from watching on a light grey wall, in a dark room. I was simply blown away. With a proper screen, the brightness and contrast will be appreciably better. I wanted an initial set up where my speakers and sub-woofer were available to enhance the sound. I was not disappointed. But this projector is light enough to carry and move around for presentations outside the home, or outside, for that matter. So many choices, so little time.
There are better projectors, certainly more expensive ones, but for the money and the versatility, this one would be difficult to eclipse.
It also has a built in speaker for mobile presentations. Just another convenience.
Noise and heat are always a consideration for projectors. Physics gets in the way of what we ask them to do, but the result is worth it. I give this unit a passing grade on both counts.
I am going to have to decide exactly how I want to get it set up for semi-permanent viewing and the room in my media room and how best to use it in other environments. Such a happy dilemma!

Quick and Simple Set Up
on August 1, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
The Logitech Circle 2 Wire Free Camera is a second generation product, and it shows. Instructions are pretty sparse, because, quite frankly, detailed instructions are not needed to have this product up and running. I had it out of the box and connected to my Wi-Fi network in less than 10 minutes.
The wide angle picture is quite detailed and offers a clear view of the area being observed. I have not yet used it outdoors, but it could be used for for that purpose as it is designed for all weather applications.
The camera has a short usb charging cord, which concerned me at first, because I assumed the camera needed a constant power source. Wrong. This wireless model fully charged overnight, and can be moved around from place to place for up to three months before having to be recharged.
Using the Logitech software, I am able to monitor the live picture from virtually anywhere in the world, and, for that matter, have two-way voice communication through the camera. Nice.
Using the Logitech software, I am able to monitor the live picture from virtually anywhere in the world, and, for that matter, have two-way voice communication through the camera. Nice.
For approximately $100 a year, more extensive monitoring services, including greater storage time, can be had. You are limited to 24 hours of activity without subscribing to the more extensive service and storage.
This security camera works like a charm and is dead simple to use. I love it.

Get Big Sony Sound From Your Small TV
on June 6, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
This Sony soundbar really served its purpose. I had it out of the box, hooked up and running within 15 minutes of cutting the package tape!
We had a Sharp 32 inch Roku TV in the bedroom on top of a chest of drawers. The black soundbar fit nicely and unobtrusively on top and in front of the TV. The wireless sub-woofer went behind a love seat and is totally hidden.
This is a 2.1 soundbar, and it projected a clean stereo image with nice, non- boomy bass. The Roku sound was not bad for a tv, but the soundbar was an instant and welcome improvement. Listening to music was a joy as well. I was able to easily pair my android phone with the blue tooth radio in the bar, and stream songs stored on the phone or through the phone's music streaming apps. You can also plug in a USB stick and the bar can read and play the songs on it without your TV being on.
My initial hook up with the TV to the sound bar was via the furnished optical digital cable. That worked fine, but I then substituted an HDMI cable (not included) and was able to use the ARC feature over HDMI to send sound to the bar from the TV and also control the volume on the sound bar, using the TV volume control via CEC. Nice. The Sony remote is still available to adjust sub-woofer volume and select the inputs on the sound bar.
I am very pleased and expect to have a lot of pleasurable listening from this compact sound bar and sub-woofer for years to come.

Compact, Precise, Powerful
on April 25, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
This is a upright vacuum. Well, yes, that's true, but you can also separately purchase a caddie so it can be used as like a canister vacuum with a powerful sweeper. I did not have the caddie, so I used the Lift-Away in its "native" configuration.
I have never been more impressed with a vacuum. It shines a merciless LED in front of the sweeper, so that the dirt, lint, cat or dog hair or any other substance in the way is swept into the clear canister. The results are there to observe after one session. This unit picks up so much stuff that you'll have to empty the canister often, and the process is quite easy.
It comes with a handy black bag full of attachments which aid in getting in every crevice you can imagine. You can also lift the vacuum unit off the handle to run the sweeper under a chair or couch. That's a very useful feature.
The power cord is nice and long and wraps around the cleats on the handle for storage.
We have a maid who helps us on occasion, and brings her own vacuum. But the last time she visited, her vacuum was on the fritz, and she used the Shark. She simply loved it!
A lot of sound engineering went into this unit. I was able to get it out of the box and put together in 10 minutes. It has a user washable filter, and given it's pickup power, it needs to be washed at least monthly.
The vacuum works so well, and is so easy to use, I sometimes find myself looking for an excuse to vacuum! I am serious. I can't say enough about the product.
Highly recommended!

Organizational Skills
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
I have always been intimidated by this software's big brother, Photoshop CC, the mainstay of professional photographers, and way above my pay grade. This program, while powerful, is much more approachable to me, an amateur photographer with thousands, and I mean thousands, of (formerly) unorganized family photographs going back approximately 13 years.
I have been spending the last several weeks using this program to simply organize my photographs. It has face recognition ability, which, although not 100 per cent accurate, is a huge help in being able to identify every existing photo of a particular family member.
Unless you can find a photograph you need, the photo is useless to you. This program will help you find it quickly.
This program also contains editing and enhancement tools that are extremely useful, with only a slight learning curve to grasp the fundamentals. I suspect that some will find them so useful and become so adept using them, they'll graduate to to "the big brother" Photoshop. Not me. This program is more than enough for my needs.
It may test your resources, though. I am running Windows 10 on an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 6-Core Processor and writing to an SSD for my organizational and editing work. I found my rig occasionally slowing a bit to handle tasks with Elements. The results were more than enough to justify the slight delay!

Battery life, Battery life, Battery life.
on December 7, 2016
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
I love this unlocked phone and got it after reading reviews here and in other publications. The biggest selling point is its remarkable battery life. For the first time with any smartphone, I can go all day on a charge, and have plenty of battery life left without recharging, and I am a heavy user.
The phone is well- built and attractive with glass front and back and with a metal frame. Of course, it also accepts the Moto Mods. I did not get the Incipio battery back from Best Buy when I bought the phone, but added it later from another vendor. With the back, I can easily go three full days of use without recharging. Once you have experienced that convenience, you will be hard-pressed to ever give it up.
The 5.5 inch screen is gorgeous, and I am very satisfied with the camera. Some reviews seem more critical of the camera performance than I have experienced. In broad daylight, or well-lighted scenes, it is the equal of any smartphone camera I have used. No, it is not iPhone or Samsung Galaxy quality in low light, but I think it does quite adequately, and I am comparing it to any smartphone I have ever owned.
Reception is crisp and clear, and I simply removed my AT&T nano SIM from my Galaxy s6 and popped it into this phone, which instantly registered on the network with not one second's delay.
I am anxious to try some more of the Moto Mods, and really like this phone. Well built, beautiful, and highly recommended. Way to go Moto!

It's single serve, but that's what I needed!
on September 28, 2016
Posted by: mobilelawyer
I doubt it will save me any money, but it sure brews a quick, rich cup of coffee, and I love it.
It comes with a permanent filter, but you can use a paper filter if you prefer. The scoop mounts on the device, so you never lose it. You can select cup sizes up to a large travel size travel mug. The reservoir is totally removable and that is a great convenience when it comes time to fill it.
I am the only coffee drinker in the morning, and I am accustomed to brewing a whole 10-cup carafe, only to drink a small portion. I don't have to throw away product every morning anymore with this machine. But, the recommended portion of drip coffee, I must say, is almost as much as I used in the other machine for a full carafe. I don't care. I have never been disappointed with this product. You can preheat to make the cup in three minutes. You can select a regular or richer brew. There is a selection knob for the various cup sizes.
One caveat. A cup or mug with a handle, or that is insulated, is almost a necessity. I ceramic mug without a handle is simply too hot to pick up after a brew cycle. And there is no warmer, because there's nothing to keep warm. You wind up with a steaming hot cup of coffee, ready to consume.
This machine also has a fancy agitator to make lattes and those fancy coffees I never drink. Great for those who would use that feature- I do not.
This product was furnished to me at no cost in exchange for my honest review. You could not buy it back from me for the retail price. It is that good, that practical, and that convenient.
A definite keeper and highly recommended.

Piece of Cake
on June 22, 2016
Posted by: mobilelawyer
This wireless range extender works well, and could not have been easier to set up. I used it with my Netgear router (your router does not have to be a Linksys). No configuration was necessary. None. My router had, as many newer ones do, a WPS "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" button. You press it, go through a process confirmed by colored lights, and your device is joined to the network. If you have both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz networks you go through the process twice to join both bands. This is done while you have the device within a few feet of the router. When completed, you then move the router to a location where you want to have it act as a hotspot to extend your wi-fi range. I took my device upstairs where I needed a stronger signal. As instructed, I plugged it into the wall. A yellow light blinks while it connects. If the light turns solid green, you are connected. You login to wi-fi using the same passwords as you do for your router. Using several android apps to show relative wi-fi strength, I got a much stronger and reliable signal upstairs. Then I went downstairs and sat on the couch 10 feet from the router. The extender signal strength equaled or exceeded the strength of the signal from the router. I was amazed. The device can also be used as a wired range extender. Since my house is not cabled with ethernet, that option was not useful for me. In trying various locations, I discovered that I could not move the router to the other end of my 2200 square foot house. I could not get a green light there. I did discover, however, that sometimes I could not get a green light, but the RE 7000 was still working. So I was not able, with only one of these devices, to get seamless roaming throughout the house. That function is only promised with supported Linksys routers, according to the instructions. I could not be more pleased with this product. Push a couple of buttons, and you will have it set up and working in 10 minutes or less with literally nothing to set up. Great speed and strength of signal. It just works.

Exactly what I wanted at an unbeatable price

I almost bought this laptop new when it went on sale several weeks ago. When I saw I could buy a refurbished model for $579, I pulled the trigger immediately. The laptop is the perfect compromise when you would love to have the light weight of a tablet, but you really need the convenience of a built in keyboard. And you get ultrabook performance to boot!
I could not be more pleased. No blemishes that I could find, and no hiccups in getting the laptop up and working.
Could not be happier.

Highly functional keyboard
on March 2, 2013
Posted by: mobilelawyer
from Mobile, Alabama
Got this on sale to use with my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 at less than half the price of the Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard designed for the tablet. It has nice touch, and all the windows keys and multimedia keys are available though a function key. It actually seems heavier, and it is certainly a little wider than the tablet. I wish it could be smaller and lighter, but I am very pleased with its operation.
What's great about it: All Windows keys are represented
What's not so great: A little heavy

Enjoy your favorite tracks with this iLive IHB603B stereo system, which supports Bluetooth 2.1 and features an FM radio, CD player and 3.5mm auxiliary input for a variety of listening options. A remote ensures simple operation.
Can you play the CD through a detached bluetooth speaker?
If I understand your question correctly, no. You have to have a means to get the sound from the CD: either from a corded or wireless connection. If you have a physical cord from the CD that terminates in a mini jack connection to the Sony, you could use that to connect the two, and, of course, the speaker has a Bluetooth radio as well, but I am not familiar with CD players with Bluetooth radios. So far, I have only used the speaker to stream from my smartphone through Bluetooth.

Enjoy playlists in private with these Sennheiser wireless earbuds. The three-button remote lets you take calls or cycle through music with a single touch, and the earpieces are magnetic, so they stick to one another to prevent loss while not in use. These Sennheiser wireless earbuds have a range of up to 30 feet from a paired device.
Are these earbuds sweat or waterproof?
They are not advertised as such, so I would not count on it. The are great sounding and light, but they are not listed as sport phones or waterproof.

Yes. One year depot through Lenovo. I upgraded to two years in home for only $69, which I think is a great deal.

can the hard disc of this machine be upgraded to 256g ?
Yes it can, if you are adept at carefully taking small things apart. Look in the Lenovo community website for discussion on how it is done. Many have upgraded to 256GB ssd's and some have increased the memory to 8GB.
