Like having a flying DSLR
on October 20, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Somewhat new(ish) to the drone world so I've never had a model as nice as this one before. Still, I was really excited to test this one out and, WOW, this is a top notch unit.
In the box, you get everything you need to be up and running. In addition to the drone/remote, you get a nice carrying case, 3 batteries w/charger, extra rotor blades, additional filters for the front camera and about 6-7 different charging cables for various countries. Really well thought out product here in terms of what's included.
The drone/remote takes little time to get paired up. The only thing that will slow down your enjoyment of this drone is the updates needed when you first get it. Pretty much everything here is step-by-step so you're not fumbling around for how to this or that which is really nice.
The camera is probably the nicest part about this unit. It provides really crisp, stunning pictures as well as video. You get additional filters to put onto the camera for different picture styles. There are 3 filters total. Having used this for a bit, the controls are excellent and responsive. You get a choice between "easy" mode where your drone just hovers wherever you stop it or a more manual, sport mode if you are a seasoned operator. Even for me, the controls were simply and easy to use. A really great feature was the range of this drone. It's around 9-10 mile range where you can operate this. My other drone was maybe a couple miles or so? Haven't gotten the change to fully test out range but, so far, it's been really great.
That said, i crashed mine :( So I have the wonderful experience of repairing this drone too. For a return process, DJI worked extremely well and quick which was really surprising. From start to finish, it took about a week and a half. Kudos to the repair team for that.

Nice looking case....for now
on October 18, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Always liked the chrome look to just about anything. But for a phone case? Well, I had to try it out and see what it would look like for my new phone.
The case is pretty "standard" looking for the most part. The sides of the case are rubbery so good texture/grip there so no concerns about it being too slippery or anything like that. The cutouts match up perfectly as expected. The one weird thing about the buttons on this case are that they're not fully covered. They're kinda like slits cut into the case so you have great responsiveness from the buttons but they're also slightly exposed. Issue(s) with dirt/grime getting in there are a thing so just an FYI. Case seems like it offers sufficient protection from drops as well as dings/scratches.
However, that leads us up to the main attraction for this case; the mirror finish on the back. Yes, it looks VERY nice and is just like a mirror. Really eye catching for sure and sure to get a compliment here and there. BUT, as we all would've guessed, this thing is going to get trashed after a day of normal use. That once beautiful mirror reflection will be peppered with scratches and dings in no time.
That said, very nice case but, honestly, you'll probably be getting a new one real soon.

Solid gaming earbuds for on the go
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
I've been gaming for decades now and, more recently, have switched over to PC gaming. As usual, I've had a number of gaming headsets from Turtle Beach, Logitech to Astros. These are all over-the-ear style headsets which is what I, and most other gamers, have become accustomed to. I have earbuds for listening to music however I never entertained the thought of using gaming earbuds before. Being that these are from Sony, I was intrigued since I have a few of their Bluetooth earbuds already.
As far as size/fit, these are pretty standard in terms of that. They're about the size of their normal music earbuds and are a comfortable fit. As usual, these earbuds come with various tips to get a better fit from these earbuds. Comes with a charging case that uses USB-C so you'll have power from the earbuds as well as from the case.
Sound wise, these are mid range I'd say. With their music earbuds like their MX3s, they are geared for music and have their patented Extra Bass feature in them. With these, they sound like regular earbuds. Nothing about the sound really jumped out at me like with their music earbuds. You can download their Inzone application to your PC to fine tune the EQ as well as setup custom profiles. Even on full blast, they really didn't sound anything too special to me.
I docked them a star because, for some reason, I'm not able to pair these with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. They seem to pair well/easily with Android phones but something about the iPhone it's a no-go. Contacted Sony support but they were pretty useless here.
That said, I like these and plan on using them with my gaming laptop when travelling. Good that I won't have to lug my full size headsets anymore and can just bring these with me while abroad

Great do-all printer
on October 17, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Pretty standard these days for printers to be multi-functional ones so this being one is no surprise. Having used Canon printers (off and on) for the past decade or so, I've never really experienced a "bad" one and this is no different.
Being a multi-functional printer, it does everything for home/school/office that you need it to. Printing is good at 15PPM for black. Nice little paper tray holds 100 sheets of paper which is about normal for a printer this size. Size wise, it's a relatively small footprint so you can put it just about anywhere without it being in the way.
Scanning is pretty standard as well. This isn't a high res scanner but good enough for all your everyday scanning needs. It's a wireless printer too along with its companion app so you can print/scan wirelessly which is a nice bonus.
Inks. Here's where it gets a little dicey for me. Cartridges are on par, price wise, so not a big issue there however Canon seems to be venturing into the same subscription based model that HP did. With HP, you HAD to sign up for an account even to use the printer. Hoping it's not like this with Canon so we'll see. Haven't been able to test if these can use remanufactured ink cartridges or if they're blocked like HP does.
Functionality wise, a decent all-around printer to suit all your needs. Only real potential issue is how Canon decides to move forward with their print subscription plans.

Snazzy looking case
on October 16, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Normally, I'm a generic black case kind of guy. For all my phones I've almost always had a black case, or sometimes clear case, whenever I needed to get a case for my phone. I was interested in this one since it's an iridescent color case. I've always kind of liked the look of iridescent cases however never pulled the trigger on one before.
With my newer iPhone, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to get a different case this time. This Zagg case looks really nice plus is has the magsafe ring on it which is a nice bonus. The color of the case is just really nice. I like the look a lot and, based on the viewing angle, the case will change color. Kinda slick looking and is definitely a nice look. The case is almost all hard plastic. There isn't any silicon on it so it's not like one of those hybrid cases you see elsewhere. This might be a pro/con depending on your viewpoint. Personally, I think a little silicon would be nice just for fit and finish. The case is very smooth to the touch however it has some ridges on the side for grip. I think a strip of silicon on the sides would've been better just for grip and feel. Overall though, nice looking case that offers good protection from scratches/dents/etc.

Decent screen protector.
on October 16, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Screen protectors are pretty much a necessity for me and my devices. I have them on pretty much device that has a screen so my iPhone would be no different. Personally, I've never really had a preference for glass screen protectors by brand as I figure they're all pretty much the same. I've had some generic no-name brand ones as well as some high(er) dollar ones. I got a chance to test out this screen protector from Zagg so I was trying to keep an open mind on this just based on previous experiences.
For starters, there is only one screen protector included. It comes with the normal "prep" accessories like an alcohol pad and some stickers to pick up any residual lint that may be leftover on your device. Fortunately, this also comes with an alignment tray to make installation a little easier. I've used these before and, regardless of brand, they almost always work out perfectly...even from cheaper brand screen protectors. After install, it's clear and looks great as one would expect.
At the end of the day though, there are other screen protectors out there that work just as well as this one and for cheaper costs.

Good equality cable
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Seems that you always need an extra cable for your device. Currently, I'm using this for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and Gen 7 iPod Touch/Nano. Good to have an extra cable and, seemingly, a super long one at that. It's like the cable you have is always broken or too short. This seems to solve both issues. The braided cable should ensure longer life out of this cable so here's hoping that it does.
While the iPhone is switching over to USB-C already, I guess this cable will be obsolete for me. Until that time though, seems like this cable should do the trick. The silver/aluminum accents on the cables is a nice touch and, again, the length of this cable is perfect; for me at least.
Data speed seems consistent with the OEM Lightning cable so there doesn't seem to be any degradation of speed with this cable. Charging seems to be spot on as well with no dips in power draw or spikes from what I've seen. \
All in all, can never have too many of these cables even if Apple is doing away with Lightning.

Beefy, powerful blender.
on September 28, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Didn't think I needed a blender however I noticed I've been spending lots of money on Frappuccinos. Figured if I had a blender, I could make my own for significantly less. Turns out, this is true.
On top of these Frappuccino, I can make other mixed drinks I've always wanted to but couldn't since I didn't have a blender. The blender itself is pretty beefy. It's a tad on the heavy side (for a blender) but it feels solid. The canister also feels quite sturdily made as well. I did notice that the cover and the canister were a bit difficult to put on. The fit of the cover onto the canister and the canister to the base is REALLY tight. I'm hoping this should ease up after some use but it's something to note.
I like this blender since the controls are very simple. I've seen other blenders that have all these buttons, slide switches and what not and I don't like that. I just wanted something that you plug in and hit a button and the blender goes. This is what this does so I like that.
Mixing up my drinks now is pretty nice. Cleaning this, by hand, is quite a pain so I'd recommend cleaning in your dishwasher.

My favorite controller for PC
on September 26, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
I'm somewhat of a recent PC convert. Played Playstation for about 8-9 years before switching to PC. Can't really use M/K unfortunately so I stuck with controller. Problem is, almost all PC controllers are in the XBOX format where the thumbsticks are positioned low right and high left. Found it very difficult to adapt to this since the Playstation controllers have the thumbsticks in the lower position.
That's where this controller came into play. Initially I found it too expensive but, after using for a bit, I can't play without it now. For all the FPS games I play, I'm far more comfortable using this controller while still being somewhat competitive.
Now, this particular controller has the racing wheel module which is nice. Tried using it in GTA V however it didn't work out too well :D However, for Forza, I found it to be quite decent. In all honesty, for any racing game/simulator, we'd all love to have a full pedal/steering wheel controller to use as those are just great. BUT, seeing as those can cost quite a bit, a good consolation prize would be a controller like this. It does take some time getting used to the steering knob on this but it's doable.
Only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that, from previous experience with this controller, stick drift is a major concern. I've purchased about 4 replacement kits already so I'm assuming this wheel module will have it's issues later on down the road. While this wouldn't be a good choice for competitive racing, it does work well enough for most casual racing gamers

Decent option for external webcam
on September 25, 2023
Posted by: LouRevue
Working remotely, having a webcam is a must. However, my desktop doesn't have one so I needed to get an external one in order to continue being employed.
I had a couple cheap ones I found online but either the picture quality was so-so or there were issues with the mics on these cameras. I don't need/want a super duper, over-the-top camera but just something that works and provides good features.
This one seemed a nice fit. Since I use a desktop, with dual monitors, I don't have a good place to mount camera however, after a little redesign in monitor layout, I was able to mount this quite nicely. As far as performance, I like it. I don't really see the need for 4k resolution or hyper sensitive omni directional microphone. This one is pretty simple but in a good way.
The picture quality is good. The color contrast could use some fine tuning but the picture/video is clear and not a whole lot of issues with shadowing or lighting issues. Camera mount is acceptable. It doesn't lock into place anywhere but has rubber on it so that it'll stay put pretty easily. Only downside I can see is there is no privacy cover, either manual or automatic. I know this is a thing for some people so just a heads up that this doesn't have any such thing.

Excellent laptop for everyday use
By LouRevue from Washington, DC
Having had the chance to use this laptop, I must say it’s quite an impressive model for almostn any use. With an abundance of features housed in a sleek, stylish body, it’s a solid laptop for anyone in the market for a new/replacement laptop.
Using a 7th gen i5 dual core processor, the laptop functions on par with just about any laptop in its price range. With 8GB of RAM (12GB max) and a 1TB hard drive, it offers plenty of speed and room for all your files and enough power/speed to perform almost any task.
As far as the aesthetics go, this is an impressive looking laptop with clean lines, brushed aluminum cover and beveled edges. It’s a very nice looking laptop no doubt and the design, overall, is quite appealing. It comes with a full size keyboard as well as backlit keys which is a nice touch. Only gripe with the keyboard are the arrow buttons as the Up/Down buttons are smaller due to keyboard layout. The power button is on the right side of the laptop which is a bit unique as well as a dedicated volume button. There are 2 USB 3.0 ports as well as 1 USB 2.0 port, HDMI, SD Card and USB-C port. There is no CD drive for anyone wondering. The laptop (closed) is only about ¾ inch tall however it’s a bit wider than most due to the full size keyboard.
Power/performance. Using a dual-core processor I was under the impression this would be relatively slow and have choppy performance when opening multiple programs. Being this is the latest gen processor from Intel, this is not the case. Opening 2-3 programs at once was done with relative ease and switching between them was pretty flawless. The 8GB RAM comes in quite handy here and even with a 5400 RPM HDD, this laptop was able to perform tasks with very good speed. Battery life is pretty good. Using it “normally” and leaving it on for about 5-6 hours, there was about 50% battery left. Also, one very noteworthy benefit to this laptop, it doesn’t get that hot when left on for long periods of time which is VERY nice.
The display is probably the most impressive feature on here. A full 1080p display is quite vibrant and displays bright and dark colors extremely well. Those wanting to watch Netflix/Hulu will have no issues with the display. In addition to visuals, the sound from this laptop is equally impressive. For watching movies or just playing music, the speakers on this laptop deliver quite nicely without too much reverberation or distorted sound.
One of my initial thoughts of this being a 2-in-1 was that the tablet was an afterthought/gimmick. Having used previous 2-in-1 laptops, I was expecting the tablet functionality to be quite lackluster. Again, this was not the case. In this unit, you have, both, a well built laptop as well as tablet on-the-go device. Once in tablet mode, the screen orients itself to that of a normal tablet using Windows Tiles. Touch sensitivity is surprisingly smooth and using paint programs worked well without any lag or drops in sensitivity. Using the tablet form works really well when you want to sit back and watch videos or movies. Very nice.
A couple concerns with this laptop were;
The hard drive. While it’s a large 1TB drive, I would’ve expected something, at least, in the 7200 RPM range. Being fast enough for normal business related tasks, anyone wanting to use this laptop for video editing or other processor intensive jobs might find it to be a bit slow. This can easily be remedied by replacing the HD for a faster spindle drive or a SSD. However it would’ve been nice to have a tad faster hard drive here.
The keyboard, for me, took a bit getting used to since I have previously used standard laptop keyboards without the number pad. This is a personal preference so nothing against the design. Just noting that those of you used to that type of laptop keyboard, there will be a bit of learning curve involved however I think the addition of the number pad is great thing and should be standard on all laptops.
While the brushed aluminum case is aesthetically appealing, I’m a little concerned about it getting scratched/dinged from normal use or if when you’re changing it to be used as a tablet. This is the case with some laptops that use this metal casing so just something to be aware of.
Overall, this is an impressive laptop, reasonably priced with enough up-to-date technology that will last you for several years to come. Being that it’s a 2-in-1, it’s an added bonus which allows you to use this device in ways you should be able to do and with relative ease.There is some bloatware included (this should be no surprise) so make sure to uninstall/delete the stuff you don’t need. Aside from a somewhat slow hard drive, the other features on this laptop more than make up for it. Very nice buy for a new work laptop or student.

Bloatware?
January 17, 2017
It took a bit of time to setup my laptop as well. Have you tried uninstalling the bloatware on this laptop? I did and I don't have any issues with boot speed or anything else on my laptop.

Only @ Best BuyListen to music with this sweat- and dust-resistant wireless Jabra Elite headset. It connects via USB, mini-jack or Bluetooth, and a powerful microphone lets you use voice commands with your mobile device. This Jabra Elite headset reduces background noise and has a built-in motion sensor that lets you track fitness efforts.
 

Can an owner of the original non active 65t comment on the fit and stability difference with the active version? Curious if that and the extra IP rating is worth a look, or negligible.

I own both the active and regular 65T's and I don't see any noticeable difference between them. Aside from the IP rating, there's really not much difference. Both fit exactly the same and fit pretty snugly in the ear.

Brighten your day and night with this Philips Being Hue ceiling light. The dimming function lets you set an ambience for different moods, and it works with the Philips Hue dimmer switch and mobile app for versatile control. The ZigBee technology of this 32W Philips Being Hue ceiling lamp provides smooth, efficient interoperability with multiple Hue lighting units.
 

Can this light be controlled by a existing wired wall switch? I plan to replace the light that is already there with this one, but I would prefer to use the wired switch.

Yes you can...that's what I did. One thing to note is that the light won't come on immediately like your current light fixture does. There's a second or two delay after you flip the switch. I'm planning on replacing the switch with a dimmer switch so maybe that will correct the delay.

What is the return policy if I dont like the phone?

Depends on the carrier. I know AT&T has a 14 day return policy. Ask your carrier rep to see how long their return period is.

can i use the samsung note 2 in africa right after buying.

Only if you have the international unlocked version (the N7100 model) All other models will be tied to a carrier. You can still use those phones in Africa however you'll get hammered with roaming charges.

Does Samsung upgrade its android smartphone OS as soon as a new one is released? (4.1 Jelly Bean to the soon to be released 5.0 Key Lime Pie).

No. Samsung has its own UI built in (TouchWiz) so whenever a new OS comes out, Samsung won't release the update until they've adjusted their TouchWiz to work with the new OS. Judging from previous releases, new updates are generally released 4-6 months after a new OS has been released.
