Expensive Ceiling Light
on December 18, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Philips - Hue White Ambiance Being Dimmable LED Smart Flush mount - Aluminum is a great addition to Philips Hue family for the people who are already into Home Automation with locks, lights, security etc. Please make sure that you have Philips Hue Bridge. This light won't work without the bridge.
Since i already have Philips BR30 and A19 bulbs throughout the house, there is no issue to install and configure this light. Installation is quick and easy if you are familiar with wiring at home. The instructions in the guide could have better. It took me close to 50 mins. If you are not comfortable to install the light yourself, please hire some electrician and they can do it for you. After the installation of the light, i was able to add this light into my existing bridge within 5 mins. This light produces enough light for room. Please note that it is ambiance light and it may not fill the entire room if the room is larger.
The design is great and it looks very beautiful on the ceiling. I was able to control using Siri, Google Home and Alexa without any issues. It is a great light with many features and it is a good addition to existing Philips hue family.
It is going be a very difficult decision to invest around 250$ including bridge when ceiling LEDs are selling less than 40$.

Starter GPS Watch with Nice features!!!
on December 13, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Epson ProSense 17 GPS watch setup is quick and easy. Please make sure that watch charged fully before setup. Download the Epson View app from iTunes App store or Google play store. Follow the onscreen instructions and select your preferences to configure by phone, PC. I have used Set By Phone option and configured the settings less than 5 mins.
The numbers are fairly large and easy to read. It has alarm and stopwatch functions and can receive call, message and email notifications. It can track daily activities like steps, sleep, calories burned with notifications. It will take up to 3 hours for full charge and it will last long without enabling GPS tracker. The charging clip is very odd design which i have not seen before in any product.
I will first highlight the features of this watch.
It records GPS, distance, pace and more
Battery life is around 13 hrs. with GPS, 7 days of activity tracking, 30 days watch mode
Workout modes are available for Run, Walk and Treadmill
Built-in SmartStride sensor tracks cadence and stride length
It will track daily activity including steps, calories burned and sleep
Receive smart notifications and control music playing on your phone
It has features like vibration workout alerts and interval training
Programmable lap timer and customizable workout screens
It syncs easily to popular running apps like Strava, Runkeeper, MapMyrun etc.

There are too many buttons in the watch which are very confusing to use. I feel that the quality of the watch is not great even though there are quite number of good features embedded in this watch. I did not like the concept of clip based charging when most of the manufacturers are moving towards wireless charging. For first attempt in smart watch space, Epson fairly did well.
I had high hope for Epson ProSense 17 GPS watch as it came from a company who are champions in Printers and Projectors. However, it is really disappointing that Epson ProSense 17 GPS watch did not meet my expectations.

Best PDF Editor. Must for Business Users !!!
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Most of the windows / mac users are familiar with Adobe Acrobat reader for your school / business use. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC subscription based software will provide options to create, edit, convert, organize and sign PDFs from PC or mobile device. With Adobe document cloud services, it will provide access to PDF tools across all devices.
I have installed Adobe Scan mobile app in iOS. It is super helpful to take pictures of paper documents and automatically convert them to editable PDFs with automatic font matching. Withpoint-and-click interface, you can edit PDF documents within Acrobat from your PC or iPad.
The really nice feature is to compare two versions of a PDF using an easy-to-scan results summary of all differences. My son was able to convert all his school projects work from word, excel and PowerPoint format without losing original format.
With Acrobat Pro DC, we were able to fill, sign and send forms fast from anywhere with smart auto-fill. I really liked the option to access, edit and store files directly to cloud like OneDrive, DropBox etc. It is seamless integration for editing documents on the go.
I was able to create high-quality PDF files from Acrobat or popular Microsoft Office apps with restrictions to prevent others from copying, editing, or printing sensitive information especially contract, legal documents for business.
It is bit pricey for 1 year subscription when there are many alternative products available to purchase with one time payment. Adobe should explore options for subscription with one time payment for life for future upgrade.

Good Wireless Earbud Headphones
on November 27, 2017

from Chander AZ
The JLab Epic wireless headphones are great and they are extremely lightweight. Setup is quick and easy. I have configured my iPhone 8+ less than a minute. The sound quality is good and not great. They are comfortable to use and fit securely on my ears. I don’t have to worry about falling off while excercising. The wireless range is pretty good and no interrutpion upto 15 feet.
These Epic Air wireless earbuds come with a convenient charging case for storage and transport. Ear buds should last atleast 5 hours on a charge, but this hard case with storage battery that will keep them going for another 30 hours. You can also use the case to charge up a smartphone or any other device using mini USB.
The JLab Audio Epic Air in-ear headphones are great set of headphones for a truly wireless experience.

Premium Keyboard for Surface Pro 3 / 4
on November 17, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I was looking for an alternative keyboard for my Surface Pro 4 and got Brydge 12.3 wireless keyboard. I currently own a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and using Microsoft keyboard along with package. Brydge 12.3 wireless keyboard packing was excellent and setup was quick and easy. This keyboard feels like a premium keyboard and absolutely no issues while typing.
There is no lag time at all and easy to use. The touch and springiness of the keyboard responded well. Palm rests were located in a good area and no issues for long usage.
The track pad is smaller then regular sized keyboards. However, the functionality is not impacted in any form. The track pad has very smooth functioning and has great responsiveness. This unit has LED back lit keys which makes it possible to use your computer in no light or low light. For those users who use a laptop computer where keys are not back lit, they will definitely appreciate this feature. No need to run to turn on the room lights while using your computer in dark.
The keyboard weighs under one and a half pounds. Once i have connected Surface Pro 4 and Brydge keyboard, I felt like one piece unit. There was no looseness was detected and it was perfect fit. The keyboard firmly grips your Microsoft Surface Pro and provides excellent stability. Once again, premium keyboard feeling. The construction of the keyboard is very solid with excellent quality.
Battery life is superior. Three months is the advertised length and it's rechargeable. Outstanding! I have no complaints with the Brydge and I am really happy to own it. I highly recommend to any user that wants a premium keyboard with great responsiveness. You will be very happy to own this product for your Surface Pro.

Plantronics - Backbeat FIT 305 Wireless In-Ear Headphone audio quality is very good and it is comfortable to use as well. Setup is very easy and able to pair with phone very quickly using Bluetooth. Plantronics makes very good headsets for business and this one is another great product from them. The build quality is great and it looks stylish as well. Right and left sides are clearly indicated by different color (Light Blue for Right) and it is a great idea rather than trying to find small R, L letters.
The bass is really good. Sound quality is outstanding as you expect from Plantronics products and it is crystal clear. Battery life is good up to 6 hours of continuous use. Bluetooth range is great and no need to worry about disconnect while you are few feet away from phone.
I am pleased with Plantronics - Backbeat FIT 305 Wireless In-Ear Headphone sound and build quality and recommend to anyone without any hesitation.

2 out of 5
2 out of 5Not worth for the price
By Jacobs
from CA
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:

- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:
+RT-66R allow you to create a personal cloud with your router with AiCloud application. I am able to enjoy my music and movies over AiCloud on the move.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

5 out of 5Outstanding 2-in-One Tablet from Samsung

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash

It is one of the best android tablet with premium features and equally matching iPad Pro. It worked really well with Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for accurate and comfort typing.

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?
Yes. It is much better than X6 or X8. I am getting 300+ mbps in all over the places in my house.
