Laptops have evolved so much over the past several year, increasingly pushing the limits from a technology standpoint. This laptop follows that testament. This set up's performance and satisfaction boils down into a couple categories from my perspective; graphics/processing and design.
The graphics on this laptop exude those of a top tier laptop or graphics card. OLED is a now becoming mainstream and is setting the bar higher and higher. The vivid bright white colors pop while being surrounded by true black-out OLED tech. The NVIDIA RTX 3050 does a better than expected job from a display standpoint. On the processing side of the house this laptop comes stock with 16 GB of ram and an Intel Ultra 7 3.8 GHz processor. When these 3 pieces of the puzzle come together, the product results in a visual masterpiece for the user's eyes.
The design of this laptop is pretty standard, it is relatively light weight, a large display and even has a 10-key setup. The mouse pad is a bit larger than what I have experienced in the past but does not deter from a satisfactory standpoint. Windows 11 also is up to snuff with and stock on this machine.
All in all, this laptop is a visual masterpiece. Its OLED capability is an enormous upgrade from its prior models and distinguishes itself from its competitors. Pairing these features with a solid exterior design is sure to make this laptop a top pick to many!

Ease of use, timed to perfection
on January 23, 2024
Posted by: JorgeST
This rice cooker has been a great add to my kitchen accessories. Our family has rice or a similar grain at least twice a week. The timing of cooking rice without a rice cooker has been hit or miss for me. I either under cook it and its hard or over cook it and it turns to paste. This cooker removes all questioning on if the grain is cooked or not with pre-set cooking limited broken out by grain. It breaks apart easily and reassembles just as easy. Cleaning is a bit annoying as the non-stick coated inner tray should not go into the dishwasher, but besides that its a breeze to use. One nice touch about the inner tray is that there are markings on how much water to add for each respective quantity of grain. This removes all question about if I am preparing it correctly or not. Once the water and grain are added in the inner pot its as easy as closing the lid and hitting the correct grain button on the touch screen... and that's its! The cooker has a countdown and beeps when its done.
All in all, this cooker is a piece of cake to use, and has a nice breakdown on how to prepare each grain. These combined make this item near fail proof to use. The product it output (so far) are top notch and cooked to perfection!

Indoor product with no outdoor mess
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: JorgeST
This is the first smoker I have ever owned. My neighbor has had one for years and I have been able to reap some of the benefit though. Some of the bigger name smokers our there are great but they require a lot of space to be used outside and end up generating (although a great final product) a fair bit of a mess. This smoker does give off a great outdoorsy smell inside the home but does not require any of the initial set up or prep. When I first opened this item I was very surprised with how user friendly the smoker was. The interface is that of a microwave or something similar. The dials and provided instructions are all very easy to comprehend too. For my initial test run I used a rack of ribs. I seasoned with a dry rub, set the dials to the desired temp and began the preheating process. Once I knew the internal temp of the smoker was where I wanted it, I put my ribs in and let the process begin. 6 hours later I was able to eat a very flavorful rack of ribs with my family. Clean up is a breeze too as the internal pellet bin is easy to empty and clean. The drip pan has been a bit of a challenge to get clean but aside from that its been a very good experience. This smoker is also able to connect to a smart app which can then control time, temp, etc. This was a nice touch as It aligns with my other GE appliances.
All in all, If you are looking for a smoker that can be used by a novice or expert inside the home then I would highly recommend this unit as it was easy to get up and running and has since been providing top notch meats for my family!

This controller has really been adding to my gaming stack since opening it a week ago. Everything from the unboxing to the clam shell to the controller it self has been not notch in my opinion. Firstly, the accessories that are provided are exactly what I needed. There is a hard clam shell that can be used to protect the controller when on the move. Next there is a charging base, charge cables, USB receiver (if needed) and additional thumbstick caps. I have not used the caps yet but have notice wear in past controller so I will most definitely get around to using these eventually. The controller it self is build to last and is packed with tech. Multiple buttons were added on the back side of the controller that can be bound if chosen to do so. The buttons are all "clickly" but is a nice touch compared to other controllers which are not. The latency of this controller is minimal too which adds to the response time of my clicks when gaming. The controller has a visual display that can be used to leverage multiple metrics to view during gaming.
All in all I am really enjoying this controller. It fits nicely in my hand. Its very responsive and its audible clicks really add to the experience when playing with my friends. I would recommend this controller if you are a PC or Xbox gamer looking to step up your game!

Standard mouse with internal storage
on November 27, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
This wireless mouse has really been serving me well since beginning to use it. The slim design in jet black has been just what my portable office has needed. I typically work remotely and have always needed a mouse to add to my laptop bag and this has really been a nice add. The mouse is very thin, in fact the thickness of the mouse is less than an inch! Inside the box it comes with a USB receiver and one AA battery in addition to the mouse. The clicking of the mouse itself is not loud but rather soft which is a nice touch. The wheel is notched, meaning you can feel every increment of rotation as you rotate the wheel.
Internally, the mouse has storage for the receiver. This has been something I have really liked as it reduces the change of me losing the receiver. To located the small cavity to store the USB received you simply peel apart the mouse from the side. It clicks and unclicks into place after properly removing or inputting the receiver.

All in all this mouse, although thing gets the job done and ever has a nice bult in storage cavity for the small USB receiver to be placed so it does not get lost!

Oldschool meets Health Metrics
on November 27, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
This smart watch has been a great add to my smart devices and knowing that it is constantly reading and analyzing my health metrics has provided some peace of minds. Firstly, this watch is a semi-digital watch. Meaning, it does have a small smart window that shows heart rate, steps, sleeping patterns and other counts but outside of that there is nothing really special about this. The clock readout is pretty standard too but is NOT digital, which can be either a neat touch or an odd feature... depending on your viewpoint. The watchband it self seems pretty well made but still has the "plastic" feel to it which was sort of a bummer in my opinion. I would have liked to see something a little more fashionable or rugged here.
The watch itself comes with a charging dock/stand and one small usb charging cable, however it does not come with a power brick. This would have been a nice touch, however not a deal breaker.
The companion app that works with this watch is pretty user friendly and shows all metrics in a variety of visual formats to make the data easy to digest.
In conclusion, this watch does provide some of the run-of-the-mill smart/health features but does not break the ice in terms of new features. The "old school" clock read out will divide those who purchase this device as its sort of defeats the purpose of the watch being digital. Nevertheless, its nice on the eyes with its jet black color and monitors my metrics as described!

Multiple ways to output power!
on November 21, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
Portability is becoming a game changer and Anker has really answered the call to this need. Since opening this portable power station I have been able to fully utilize it in the garage, next to the camp fire and even at the cabin. I really enjoy how this is built with a build in handle and multiple output options from standard 2 prong plug in, to USB to even USB-C. I have used this to charge my cellphone while being outdoors too which has been very nice. The digital display tells me where the power level is and give me a good indication as to how much more juice I have left. One thing that I had wondered about is if it was very heavy or if it would get bumped over and possibly break a USB charge head.... there has been zero issues with this keeping balance or tipping over. It stays put.
All in all I would highly recommend this for several reasons but primarily due to its ability to power a variety of devices with a variety of charging options. I am no longer stuck with requiring my power station to only use a regular USB plug in. Highly recomended!

I remember using these types of cameras when I was a kid. Since beginning to use this camera again, I have had a huge burst of nostalgia, this camera is exactly what I have been looking for to bring back all of those old, fun memories. First of all, this camera is built in a very durable manner, the buttons do not get stuck, the lens is very rigid and the outer shell can take a beating. With that said, please keep in mind that this camera is not one that is meant to be used in active settings. You can now charge the camera which is nice as it removes the need to worry about carrying batteries around to keep it working, a charging cable is even provided. The viewfinder is very comfortable to the outer eye too. Outside of the camera and charging cable, there is also a small lanyard/wrist strap that can be added to make carrying easy... although it is mainly for looks. One thing to keep in mind is to make sure you purchase the right film when you area ready to refill as there are several versions out there to purchase!
All in all, if you are looking for a great holiday gift or to get back into the 90's via photography then this is a great item to add to your collection!

Gourmet coffee at home!
on November 2, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
I am a huge fan of all things coffee related and this 2 in one grinder and coffee maker has certainly added to my love of coffee. This maker performs equal to that of an actual coffee shop. The grider is exactly what you would expect, it smoothly grinds any type of beans into the right consistency for your designated drink. These setting can be customized from the unit itself too which reduces the chance of a mishap while brewing. The coffee maker it self seems to be a little on the small side, the reservoir could be a little bigger, not a deal breaker. The build of this maker does, however seem to be sound. The grinder, base and maker are all made in a very sturdy fashion. The rose gold handle really pops too in my kitchen. One neat thing about this maker is that it is actually somewhat quiet, other makers I have used in the past have sounded like an engine when the batch was completing, but not this one.
All in all, this grinder/maker really puts the power in the users hands by allowing them to customize the experience from both the bean consistency and the creativity of the drink itself. If you love coffee and enjoy making it from scratch then I would recommend this for you!

This smartdoor bell is a great add to any household. I have used competitors doorbells in the past and have had a hard time installing and even setting up the app and singing up for their cloud storage plans. This doorbell has not given me any of these issues since day 1. The companion app links great with my existing thermostat (same brand) and the install was simple. The app does have a buy-up option that I am yet to utilize but I do intent to explore at least the free trial in the near future.
A noteworthy points around this doorbell is the camera clarity and angle of view. My old camera seemed to provide a very narrow camera view, while this camera give more of a fish-eye view. This was a major deal breaker for me as my front door has a little bit of a jog/corner to it and my old camera did not get the best view compared to this one. Installing was easy, as the back of the unit has a nice mounting to it allowing me easily replace my old doorbell with this new one.

All in all, we all know there are plenty of video doorbells out there and selecting one that fits you best is tough. I can attest that this doorbell give a great picture, has a friendly app and is easy to set up making this a highly recommended option to add to my household smart devices.
