Nice sound with a great look
on August 31, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
These are nice looking speakers with several connection options.
The speakers are nicely rounded, matte black, with rubberized pads on the bottom. The front panel of the main speaker consists of a volume knob, an input button, a headphone port, and an AUX input.
They can hookup to your device via Bluetooth, RCA to AUX cable, RCA cables, or TRS cable.
I'm currently using the included RCA to AUX cable to connect these to my computer. I tried using the Bluetooth connection first, but there was too much lag for gaming or movies. I would only recommend using the Bluetooth if you want to pair your phone to these to play music. That being said, I struggled to switch back to my computer after pairing the Bluetooth to my phone. Switching the input didn't seem to work until I turned my phone off.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the look and performance of these speakers. The bass is a little weak for my taste, but they're otherwise great. They get fairly loud, and the sound remains nice and clear even at the higher volumes.
I would strongly recommend using these for your AV setup.

Okay secondary vacuum, but won't replace your main
on August 31, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
The Shark Wandvac makes for an excellent secondary vacuum, but it won't replace your main vacuum.
It's relatively slim and compact, it holds a nice amount of charge and lasts for quite awhile between charges, and the detachable wand is very convenient for getting at hard to reach places.
Unfortunately, it lacks power and has a very small dust bin.
I can see this working well as a secondary vacuum for storage and use in something like a finished basement or RV, but I can't see using this as your primary vacuum for a good sized house or apartment. It just doesn't have the power to accomplish this. And even if it did, the dust bin is too small and would need to be emptied constantly.
As far as being a "Pet" vacuum goes, I found this machine really struggled to clean up cat hair. It kind of blew it around a bit, but very little was actually getting sucked up.
The wand removal isn't terribly intuitive (there are two buttons along the sides of the wand unit that pop it off the center "pipe"), and there is an odd "hook" attachment on the front of the pipe for hanging the wand unit for storage (it doesn't charge while in this position, so I gather that it's just to make it more compact for fitting in a closet or something).
I can see the value of this unit as a secondary vacuum, but it won't replace your main vacuum.

Great hard drive with excellent capacity and speed
on August 26, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
I'm constantly looking for additional storage. I work with a lot of still images and video files, and I eat through storage space at an alarming rate.
I installed this drive on my laptop as a secondary storage drive, and I've been very impressed by both its capacity and its speed.
I was able to transfer roughly 30GB of video files from my primary drive to this drive in less than fifteen minutes. My applications have no problem seeing this drive, and they read and write to it without issue.
Out of the box, the drive is completely unformatted. In Windows, you have to open the "Disk Management" tool to create a simple volume on the drive prior to using it. Prior to doing this, Windows won't even be able to see the drive.
My only complaint about this drive is that I wish it were bigger. Video files take up a fair amount of space, and I'll outgrow this drive fairly quickly. The drive is large enough that I should be able to work on quite a few projects on the go, but I'll probably still have to rely on external storage for some of my larger projects.
If you're looking to add some additional storage space to a laptop or desktop, and you want a drive with fast transfer speeds, then this would be an excellent choice for you.

Nice display hampered by a poorly designed stand
on July 20, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
The Nixplay frame looks very nice. The colors are saturated, and the frame gets sufficiently bright.
What holds this frame back is some questionable design choices with the stand and software.
The picture frame isn't actually attached to the stand. The frame just leans against a rubberized pad on the stand, and there is a small "groove" that the frame sits in at the edge of the stand.
This means that the stand is neither terribly steady, nor is it repositionable. This proved to be a bit of problem for me as I really wanted to angle the frame a little so that it wasn't sitting at such a harsh, upright angle on my side table.
The frame doesn't have a light sensor and instead relies on a motion sensor and/or the scheduling tool for turning on and off.
The motion sensor works well, but the scheduling tool never seemed to correctly register the time. Despite having set up my time zone in the app, it continues to be about an hour off. I can only assume that it isn't factoring in daylight savings time correctly.
Despite having linked the app with my Google Photos account, the frame doesn't appear to have any options to automatically display my Google Photos pictures. This is a bit of a disappointment as you have to manually update the photos available on the frame (or rely on its social media functions to have other people add new photos on your behalf).
I was pleased to see that the frame does support short video clips (note: it doesn't recognize the older .AVI format - you have to convert to MP4 first). It also only displays a few seconds of video (so playing a half hour movie isn't going to be an option).
It's a nice looking frame. As far as displaying photos goes, it does an excellent job.
It's just the stand and software that make this a little "quirky."

Great router. Nice and stable.
on July 10, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
This router is doing a great job of maintaining my household's rather heavy internet demands.
At any one time, I have anywhere between 20 and 30 devices online at a time (WiFi enabled lightbulbs, electrical outlets, smart speakers, smart TVs, cellphones, and a handful of computers).
I have a mid-tier internet plan that's just barely adequate for my needs (I'll be upgrading once the next generation of modems come out).
My previous router wasn't cutting it, and my internet tended to glitch out during high-traffic periods. It also suffered from interference whenever I ran my microwave.
This router has none of those issues. I've been using it for a few days now, and it hasn't dropped the connection once.
I ran speedtest, and my internet got a very slight bump in speed when compared to my old AC router. But honestly, it's the stability of this router that really sells it for me.
Setup was a little tricky, but that's only because I didn't read the instructions as thoroughly as I should have. The port on the far left of this router apparently ISN'T the port for my modem (this is a change from my last two routers which each had the port for the modem in a different color on the far left). For my network, I had to plug the modem into the second port from the left (this may be different depending on your network setup though).
The router's range is about the same as my old AC router. I dip about two bars in my bedroom (furthest point in the house from the router), but I'm still able to connect to the internet in every room of my house.
If you're looking to upgrade to WiFi-6, then this is an excellent router to consider.

Stylish mouse with a unique design
on July 6, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
The Alienware Tri-mode mouse is both unique and comfortable.
It handles like a dream, easily gliding across my desktop. I have no complaints whatsoever with its performance.
Setting it up was a little tricky.
First, it took several driver installs, reinstalls, and reboots for the Alienware Command Center to recognize the mouse.
Second, you can only adjust the lighting effects and button functions while in 2.4 ghz, dongle, mode. You can’t access any of these functions while connected via Bluetooth. The lighting seems to persist when you switch between modes, but my macro keys didn’t seem to carry over from dongle to Bluetooth mode.
The mouse is designed to be ambidextrous. It’s shaped so that it fits the hand the same way no matter which hand you use. The side buttons are also positioned on both sides. I like how the side buttons are slightly separated with a small gap between them. This makes it easier to differentiate them by touch.
The charging cable is one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen.
First, the cable has an optional magnetic adapter that plugs into your mouse. This connects quite securely, but it pulls free easily when you want it to.
And second, the other half of the cable’s magnetic adapter (the part that attaches to the cable) has a 2nd USB-C slot for storing the dongle on it. This is kinda cool (but a little weird).
The dongle, magnetic adapter parts, and a tool for removing the adapter from the mouse all come in a little plastic case that doesn’t open the way that you’d expect it to (pry up on the plastic lip that sits closest to the edge of the box).
It should be noted that the 2.4 ghz dongle is USB-C only.
The cable is a nice length and is braided with a soft, fabric material.
I really quite like this mouse, and I recommend it for anyone looking for a premium gaming mouse.

Great for an all-in-one computer
on June 21, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
This is something of a "niche" product, but it fit my needs very well.
My all in one computer's ports are all very poorly placed. Plugging in flash drives requires reaching around and blindly stabbing at the back of the machine.
I got this to add a little height to my machine, and to add some more accessible ports to the front of the machine.
It serves this purpose very well.
The stand appears to be well constructed. I'm not sure if it's truly metal (feels too warm to be aluminum), but it seems quite sturdy. The height is perfect for my needs. It has four rubber feet to ensure a stable grip and to prevent it from scratching one's desk. The base is "just" deep enough to fit my all in one's stand. The cable length is adequate for plugging into a monitor or all in one, but it's far too short to plug into a tower on the floor. And finally, the port selection is great for my needs.
I no longer have to reach around just to plug in a flash drive or SD card, and I don't have extraneous cables or dongles hanging off my machine.
I would recommend this for anyone looking to add some more accessible ports to a monitor or all in one computer.

Great lights for some, but not for everyone
on May 30, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
These lights look like they'd be great for a lot of people. But unfortunately, they failed to really fit my needs.
Let me start by saying what I did like about these lights.
The light panels are a good size, and they seem very well constructed. The panels are thin and extremely bright. As a lightsource, I'd rate these 10 out of 10.
The app seems fairly intuitive, and I really appreciate all of the various options for lighting effects.
Now, what I didn't like about these lights, and the reason that they didn't work for my needs . . .
In order to install these lights, you need to watch an installation video. No, these are not wired directly into your home, but there is still a fairly involved video explaining how to setup these lights.
Each individual light panel is adhered to your wall using a 3M style adhesive.
This caught me by surprise. I'd assumed that the lights connected to each other somehow, and I figured that there would be multiple options for mounting these to a wall as a whole (i.e. screw brackets).
The problems with having adhesive on the back of each individual panel are that:
A. Your wall must be fairly smooth for the adhesive to bond.
B. Once you've decided on a pattern and placement, you're committed to it. You won't be able to reposition or experiment with different layouts.
A. Your wall must be fairly smooth for the adhesive to bond.
B. Once you've decided on a pattern and placement, you're committed to it. You won't be able to reposition or experiment with different layouts.
To their credit, the adhesive is supposed to remove cleanly. You're on your own for figuring out how to get the panels back up after removing them though.
In my case, most of my walls are heavily textured. I wasn't able to use these in the room that I'd initially intended.
This was highly disappointing.
Personally, I also thought that the installation was a little too involved for something that's basically a lamp. A very thin, ultra modern, and highly customizable lamp, . . . but a lamp all the same.
I can totally see this being a great light feature for a lot of people. If you have smooth walls, and you're really sold on a particular design and placement, then these will probably be perfect for you.
In my case, I regret having gotten these as they really don't work for my needs.

Fairly comfortable chair for office work
on May 26, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
As far as mid-back chairs go, this one is quite comfortable.
Setup was quick and easy. I had the chair unboxed and fully assembled in about five minutes.
The chair is well constructed and offers lots of options for "tweaking" it to your personal comfort.
The chair height can be adjusted (of course), the seat depth can be adjusted, the arm height can be adjusted, the tops of the arms can be moved and swiveled to your personal taste, and the lumbar support can be adjusted.
My only complaint about the adjustment options is the tops of the arms. While you can move them in or out, and you can angle them to your heart's content, you can't lock them into position. I constantly found myself shifting them out of position by accident. This was a little annoying.
I'm also not keen on the chair's color. In person, it's a light grey and a VERY light grey. I prefer darker finishes as they don't show wear quite so easily. I'll be curious to see how this chair looks in another year or two.
Despite the chair's claims that it slides easily on both hard floors and carpeting, I found the casters to be fairly stiff and unmoving on carpeting.
Despite these issues, the chair itself is quite comfortable. I'm working from home now, and I can easily sit my entire shift without discomfort in this chair.
It's a definite step up from the task chair that I had been using.

Surprisingly comfortable mouse
on May 11, 2022
Posted by: TechEnthusiast
from Elgin, IL
This is a very comfortable mouse. It takes a little getting used to the different hand position (I kept accidentally squeezing the entire mouse every time I went to left-click - resulting in me hitting the back button by accident). Once I got used to it though, I really came to appreciate the different orientation.
It really is a lot more comfortable to use than a regular mouse.
The mouse connects via either Bluetooth or a dongle. If connecting via Bluetooth, you can switch between up to three devices with a single button press. I have this paired with both my Windows tablet and my Android TV.
(For anyone looking for the dongle, it's stashed inside of the mouse itself).
The mouse tracks beautifully on a mouse pad, but (like most laser mice) it struggled on my glass desktop.
Given its orientation, it should be noted that this mouse does take up more room than a regular mouse. This detracts from its portability some.
I really like this mouse a lot, and I'd strongly recommend it for anyone who has been experiencing any kind of wrist pain.

Up to what distance it will detect Human detection only?
I don't know the "official" answer to this, but I have it aimed down a rather long driveway, and it only detects people about a 1/3 of the way down it. Past that, it doesn't trigger any notifications at all.
If I had to guess, I'd estimate that its range is somewhere around 15-20 feet.

Is this compatible with Acer nitro 5 gaming laptop?
I have one of the earliest models of the Nitro 5, and it installed in mine just fine. Couple warnings though: If you want to refresh your operating system after installing it (recommended to avoid hardware glitches), you'll need to remove any additional hard drives (otherwise it errors out). Another thing: after refreshing the operating system, it will only recognize the SSD until you install all of the Windows updates. After installing the updates, any secondary drives will show up again.

Footage is stored on the micro-SD card inserted in the camera itself.
It can be accessed from the Speak app after you download the VIRB app. Note that while you need the VIRB app to access the footage, you can't view the photos directly from the VIRB app. You instead go back to the Speak app so that it can open the VIRB app and display the photos and videos (I know, it's an incredibly silly process).
If you try to open the VIRB app directly, it will tell you that it can't locate your camera.

The 15-inch touch screen makes viewing the small details on websites simple, and the Intel Core processor keeps the computer running commands quickly. This Dell Inspiron Starlord laptop has a backlit keyboard so you can type in the dark.
Just got this. During initial setup it asked to update Windows so I did, and it said something on the laptop wasn't compatible with Windows so it couldn't update. Is that normal for a brand new laptop? Also it gets VERY hot in 10 minutes of just Facebook.
I had the same problem with heat when I first got this laptop. If you go to the Dell support site for this laptop, they have an automated system check and driver update that works wonders. I'll warn you that you will have to hunt a little on the site to find it. I'm afraid that Best Buy won't allow me to send you a link to the page.
After running it, my heat issue was fixed completely; and the laptop runs at a nice ambient temperature now.
I'm not sure why you got an error about something not being compatible with Windows update, but you might want to try running Dell's system check first and then try it again.
