Customizable, User Friendly

Home security has really upped their game in the past several year, I no longer need to sign up for a 1 year contract with a set number of devices. The new approach that is being used by most companies, including this one is a adding items by a la cart and allowing a month by month payment plan. These reasons are primarily why I really enjoy SimpliSafe. The fact that I can use a giant package to cover a mansion or a simple package to cover 1 point of entry is a huge selling point to me. This package is on the larger side which works well for the property that is being used to cover. The ability to customize this set up is unparalleled too, this package was overall a good fit but did have an extra door sensor that I ended up not using. This is what make this company great, the ability to fit any user.
Setting up is a piece of cake too. Once the base station is online adding new devices is as simple as pressing a pairing button on each respective device. Ease of use was very thought out when this package and technology was being designed. If there are additional devices that are desired, their online store will get you what you need with fast shipping.
The companion app is also very convenient. I can toggle my system on and off and even view real time camera footage if needed. If you want to store that footage there are even a variety of monitoring/storage plans to choose from.
All in all, I have had a great experience with this package and brand in general. The ease of use paired with the ability to pick and choose my package if needed is a game changer for home security and having a system that does not 100% reply on home internet is a win too. Highly recommended.

Compact, Fast, Versatile

Portable Solid State Drives are becoming more and more prevalent as technology improves over time. This SSD is a perfect example of just that. I have been using this drive for about a week now and have been very satisfied with what it has to offer. At a glance, I had initially though that this looks just like all other portable external hard drives but this is not the case. The SSD is small, like very small, about half the size of a playing card which is an awesome discrete feature. The exterior hardshell also gives me comfort that it could take a bump if accidentally dropped, the unit hard and give me no "fragile" feelings.
From the performance side this drive writes and reads at 2100 Mb/sec which causes no delays in backing up my work and having a 2 TB playground to fill up has give me a peace of mind that I will never run our of storage. It also comes with a USB C to USB C mini cord that will keep presentation tidy. This cord and SSD for that matter is compatible with PC, MAC and even gaming consoles.

Good design but needs some improvements
on August 8, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
This portable ice maker has some pros and cons. The good things about this maker is that the product that is made, being the ice is exactly how it is explained. It is small, crunchy and made pretty rapidly. If you are in a rush to make ice, this maker has you covered. Ice is created, in what seems like near seconds from plugging in. As the cubes are made they drop into the reservoir. The design of this ice maker is that when the ice melt, the water drips into the water container that feeds where the cubes are made, pretty neat. The ice machine does have a nice aesthetic with its crisp and satisfying lights
Outside of the ice making, however this machine is a little on the noisy side, the cleaning process is a tad cumbersome and the buttons dont appear to be very responsive. I would equate the sound as a quiet, yet audible hum. Another item that was not optimal was the drip tray, it didnt serve a purpose as when I went to scoop ice out water spilled everywhere, not the end of the world yet slightly pesty.
In summary, if you are looking for an ice machine that makes "the good ice" then this certainly will check your box. There are some small enhancements that could make this a better appliance, but all in all is really made well and does the job.

Discrete, Great design, Smart
on August 4, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
I have had the pleasure to use a few other smart locks in the past and I can say that Level Lock has though through all prior hiccups. The hiccups that this design has addressed in my opinion is the exterior design and the way the lock functions from a "smart" standpoint.
First of all, the design is very sharp looking with its satin nickel finish and its standard deadbolt look and feel. Other smart locks have large bulky touch pads associated to them, but this model does not. Your phone is the key, but it also come with a physical key and fob if needed which is a nice touch. Similar to how the smart wallets work is how the key works with the lock. Another area which has greatly been improved by this model is the install. The instructions are clean and simple to understand. The hardware is solid too, not cheap or flimsy. This has clearly been thought out from the design team too.
Lastly, unboxing this was a pleasure! I knew exactly which steps needed to take place before I could use the lock to its fullest extent. There were not questions from the user standpoint.
All in all, this lock has been very easy to use and operate. Also, if you are looking to DIY in terms of installation then I would approve this lock for you too. The discrete nature and minimalistic feel is sure to please the eyes!

ASUS CX1700CK Chromebook: Stay productive and entertained with this ASUS 17.3-inch Chromebook notebook.
Posted by: JorgeST
Chromebook have come a long way since over the past several years. My first Chromebook had only one USB port and was quite small. We have progressed since then. This laptop has several USC C and USB ports to assure you can connect all of your devices with ease. My first impressions to this laptop was that it was enormous yet light weight. The screen was very vivid and the bright screen really popped unlike other competitors in this area. Please keep in mind that this laptop is for the novice user, it has 4 GB of ram and 64 GB of storage, meaning if you are looking to do some extensive work that involves higher amounts of storage or processing speed then this may not be the best choice for you. Other than that, though, this laptop is a great morning coffee set up to check your email and news on its large display. This laptop does not fold into a tablet or have touchscreen capability. All in all if you are looking for a nice Chromebook that is easy to set up then I would highly recommend this as a solution for you.

Annihilate your competition with this ASUS ROG gaming desktop. The Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM deliver rapid performance during fast-paced action, while the 512GB SSD provide plenty of storage for large files and downloads. This Bluetooth-enabled ASUS ROG gaming computer features an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card for tear-free rendering of 4K games.
Posted by: JorgeST
I am thoroughly impressed with every aspect of this PC. The exterior is catchy to the eye and really wows everyone that has seen it so far. The LED inserts are a great way to make my man cave glow. The slick black case looks classy, and clean. This look is easy on eyes as there are no bulky buttons drawing my attention away from the bright vivid backlight on display. The power lights match the LED’s and the clear display of the core is a beautiful feature. This PC works both aesthetically and functionally.
This gaming PC is fast. This processor (i7-13700F) has not given me any issues so far and being paired with the RTX 3060 graphics card assures ease of gaming in terms of performance. This card is still competitive but not lagging too far from top end. I have had no issues running multiple games simultaneously while having countless other applications open either. The refresh rate is very competitive and assures FPS is hitting peak levels. This PC comes with 16 GB of ram which should easily be able to be upgraded if anyone chooses to do so. Storage-wise it is a little low in my opinion with only 512 gigs, not horrible but in terms of gaming, at least 1 TB appears to be the norm. Credential input/outputs are pretty standard too. I have had no issues with having all ports at capacity. Windows 11 comes standard which is a nice touch for an OS as the OS is sometimes an afterthought in gaming PCs.
All in all, if you are looking for base upper tier gaming PC, then this is a great option for you. It comes stocked with adequate specs but can easily be upgraded if needed. The storage is a tad low, which can be overlooked in my opinion as it's not a deal breaker. Please note this tower comes with no monitor, just an FYI.

Standard, Solid build, Good design
on June 11, 2023
Posted by: JorgeST
I have bene wanting to upgrade a few of my outlets as of late with some USB plug in options. I was pondering going the USB C route but ended using the typical USB plug in instead. The design of this plug in is nice, it has 2 ports that are spaced out adequately on the face plate of the plug in. the in-wall design is also well constructed, the circuitry and the faceplate is once piece which removes the need for duplicated screws the be used. The plastic material that is used in the build of this is sturdy too unlike other models that I have seen before. Another good thing about this product is that its a 2 pack, if you are adding these to a bed room to book-end in a bed then having one on each side of the bed to align with nightstand is a wise idea in my opinion. The included hardware is also pretty decent, not flimsy or cheap either.
All in all this outlet is pretty standard, it is well build, has 2 ports and comes in a 2 pack. So far I have experienced no issues with this item and do not foresee any occurring in the near future.

Step up your game with a CORSAIR VENGEANCE i7400 Series Gaming PC, powered by a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30-Series graphics, and CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 memory. Dynamic RGB lighting brilliantly illuminates the system, with powerful CORSAIR iCUE software to control lighting, fan and pump speeds, and more. The VENGEANCE i7400 Series is cooled by an H60x RGB ELITE liquid CPU cooler and six SP RGB ELITE fans with AirGuide technology for concentrated airflow. Equipped with a high-speed M.2 NVMe SSD, housed in a roomy CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW mid-tower case, and easily upgradeable thanks to a standard ATX form-factor, this is everything you need to game with a VENGEANCE.

This gaming PC has proven to be one heck of a beast for my gaming needs. Corsair has really taken it to the next level with this build. In the past I have used some other "gaming" PCs and this one, so far, seems to be the best performing with the most thought out design amongst its competitors. I currently have the PC connected to a high performance monitor that puts out 4k with ease. The chip set of this build (Intel B760) packs a punch being paired with the RTX 3070 and outputs some of my favorite games at max settings. I am currently playing Rust on PC and have had no issue running max settings for this game. If anyone knows about this game they understand how impressive max setting equates to. My FPS has never taken a noticeable hit and the published benchmarks for this PC align to that sentiment.
In my previous PC I had always noticed that when I was sitting next to it that I would eventually break out in a sweat as the tower was pumping out some major heat. This PC has yet to give me that feeling with its 6 + build in cooling fans, even though the PC is liquid cooled. This equations has done wonders in terms of temp control.
The design of the vivid exterior shell (customizable) was one thing I was very impressed with. In other computers it requires a screwdriver to install or view any of the interior components which equated to a bit of a hassle. This unit has a "snap on" shell, thumb screws or magnetic fastening flaps for all exterior openings. This approach was a great design by Corsair for those eager PC builders to add/remove hardware in a speedy fashion.
All in all, if you are looking for a windows 11 based PC with a brawler of a build for gaming then I would recommend this unit. Pairing this with a nice monitor would help the experience but its not needed. It packs a punch and has ample storage and processing power to satisfy all of your needs in the gaming department, highly recommended!

Better than expected, great enhancements

When it comes to keyboard, comfort and customization is the name of the game. This keyboard certainly addresses those key areas of focus from my experience. Firstly, this keyboard is bright and lights up the room with the bright under-light of the keys. Its build is sturdy yet light weight which never seems to come hand in hand for keyboards. When it comes to the comfort of this keyboard it is very evident that thought was put into the experience of how the user uses the keyboard. One small yet significant upgrade to this model is the adjustable "kickstands" that are used to put the keyboard at a slight increase. They are located under the board on the corners. The design of these allow the user to have them fully extended or partially, allowing for max comfort to those who would otherwise not use them. Lastly, the bindable knobs that are located on the keyboard allow for additional customization, from a key binding standpoint. I enjoy my volume knox being mechanic, vs digital so I altered the bindings to do to.
All in all, this clicky keyboard fits all of my needs in terms of both comfort, design and responsiveness. I would highly recommend this to those in the market for a gaming keyboard.

Solid among many competitors

This robot vacuum has been a great addition to my cleaning equipment at home. I have used other robot vacuums and know what I like and dislike and this one is definitely one that checks all my boxes. One thing that is a must vs other models I have used is the self emptying capability. An other older I had did not have this function and since having this capability I would not have it any other way. Its a time saver too as the internal bag that fills as it empties seems to be pretty large too, and I havent had to empty it yet since setting up the vacuum a little over a week ago. The set up is quick and easy too, by simply scanning a QR code and pairing to your wifi. One thing that I do wish that this model had is the video manager feature, in other words the capability to see video of where the unit is in your home when its cleaning. Nevertheless, this model is still an awesome add. It does not run very loudly either vs other robot vacuums which was a pleasant surprise. All in all if you are looking for a quality robot vacuum with an easy to use companion app then I would highly recommend this model as it certainly checks all the boxes!
