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

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.

Make the most of every day with the sleek style, performance, and all-day battery life² you need in the lightest Surface Laptop, all at an exceptional value. Ultra-light and portable profile, the apps* you use every day, premium materials, and a choice of must-have colors will make this your go-to laptop. ²Up to 13 hours of battery life based on typical Surface device usage. Testing conducted by Microsoft in September 2020 using preproduction software and preproduction configurations of Surface Laptop Go Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. The active use portion consists of (1) a web browsing test accessing 8 popular websites over multiple open tabs, (2) a productivity test utilizing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, and (3) a portion of time with the device in use with idle applications. All settings were default except screen brightness was set to 150nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage and other factors.

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
Can anyone who has used these AND the Bose QC35 comment on the overall comfort for long trips? The QC35s are good, but I can't wear them for more than 3-4 hours before my outer ears start to hurt from the pressure from the cups.
I have both the QC35 and the 1000XM2. The QC35 is more comfortable on long trips. The 1000XM2 headband forces the earcups to press more firmly against my ears and is less comfortable.
