Cool down with the LG LP1214GXR 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, which can cool a room of up to 450 sq. ft. The easy-roll casters help you move the unit from room to room, while the washable filter offers quick maintenance.

Does a decent job, cool but not cold.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the LG 12000 BTU for an upstairs 300 square foot bedroom which gets hot during the day. It was easy to install the plastic panels and the flexible tubing was also easy to bend. The flexible tubing will get very warm during the cooling mode as the warm air is exhausted out. I may end up wrapping the exhaust tubing with some type of insulation to keep the warm air from radiating back to the room. The window kit fits windows from 18" to 50", so measure your window before making the purchase. The unit is heavy, weighing approximately 67 lbs, however, the casters facilitate moving the AC around.
So how well did it work for me? The AC cooled the room well, but it definitely does not get cold like you would feel with a traditional window unit or one from a hotel room. This is expected since all of the single exhaust portable ac units draw in exterior warm ambient air from surrounding areas in order to replace the cool air that was expelled from the tube connected to the window.
As far as noise goes, I did not find the noise to be bothersome. The noise is not any worse than a window unit. Nevertheless, the noise will bother some since we all have different noise tolerances. If you are noise sensitive, I believe some manufacturers make units which they claim are quiet.
The LG portable ac is said to be a self evaporative unit in air conditioner mode which means there should be no need to empty out the condensate water. I live in the arid Southern California area, so there is not much humidity here, and so far I have not had to empty out any water.
One criticism I have is that there is no display of the current room temperature on the AC unit. I also own the LG 8000 BTU portable ac unit, and that one displays the measured room temperature so you can actually see the temperature reading decreasing as the room cools down. However, that is not the case with this 12000 BTU unit. Other than feeling that the room is cooler, I don't really know how many degrees the room actually cooled down to.
Bottom line is that it works and will offer some cooling relief, but won't be as cool and no where as energy efficient as a window unit.

Decent Entry Level Laptop
on December 20, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great laptop for users who simply desire to check e-mail, browse the web, watch videos, chat using webcam, stream movies and music, and work on office documents. The i3 processor and 4 gb of RAM are sufficient to perform those tasks. The laptop boots up quickly and wakes instantly from sleep mode. It comes installed with Windows 8, with a free upgrade to Windows 8.1. There isn't much bloatware that comes with the laptop, and the ones that come pre-installed are easy to uninstall. Audio/speaker quality is average. Even at maximum volume, it doesn't get too loud. Purchasing separate external speakers such as a 2.1 system will definitely enhance the audio experience.
Here are some of the cons:
Battery life is short, somewhere on the order of 2 to 3 hrs depending on your use. RAM cannot be upgraded.

The earmuffs can help to reduce more noises than ANC maybe can't do (high frequencies)? How is the passive noise reduction compared with QC35?
I have both the Bose QC35 and the Sony 1000XM2. I qualitatively tested the passive noise reduction for both, and can conclude that passive noise reduction is similar on both. The Sony headphones press tighter onto my ears and gives the perception that they offer better passive noise reduction, but they really do not.

I read that the ANC technology don't works well to cancell the high frequency noises (fireguns, fireworks). However, these headphones they have a passive isolation around the ear. The passive isolation, ANC and music combination can help to reduce it?
The passive isolation on the 1000XM2 and all audio headphones on the market for that matter are insufficient at effectively reducing high frequency noises. Of course, if you turn on the volume loud enough, you will be able to block out most of the noise at the expense of your hearing. With that said, please use proper, dedicated earmuffs rated for firearm and industrial use for your specific purpose.
