Small, Ultraportable, and Sounds Good!
on May 26, 2021
Posted by: lambda100
The Sony SRSXB13 bluetooth speaker is super portable, simple to use, and sounds good. This is a very small cylindrically shaped speaker with a small footprint that almost looks like a small coffee mug. It has a single speaker at the top and a passive radiator at the bottom. The buttons are located along the side and provide controls such as power on/off, bluetooth/stereo connection, play/pause, and volume up/down. It comes with a strap to allow you to hang the speaker. In the box you’ll also find a usb-c charging cable and the instruction manual.
This speaker easily fits in a bag and is very lightweight. I hung it on my bicycle handlebars and listened to tunes while riding around town. Then I hung it on the shower caddy while I showered. With an IP67 rating, you can take it anywhere with you without worrying about moisture and dust.
What I like about this speaker is that it is simple to use, without needing to connect to an app. In fact, there is no app to connect this speaker with. You just pair it via bluetooth and you’re done. No app to fiddle with.
This speaker sounds good for its size. The small mono speaker at the top combined with the equally small passive radiator manage to squeeze as much sound out as they possibly could. The bass is decent without being overly emphasized. The mids are clear. At max volume, it is fairly loud, but not loud enough to use for a larger setting when there are many people speaking in a room such as during a party. It is better used in a smaller gathering. Even running my table fan, the speaker at max volume had difficulty overcoming the noise. If you want more volume and separation, you can purchase another SRSXB13 speaker for a wireless stereo pair.
Battery life is rated at 16 hours, which is plenty for a day of listening. It takes up to 4.5 hours to fully recharge the battery which is quite long considering such a small speaker.
When watching video, I noticed a very slight audio/video lag.
The speaker has a microphone and can be used as a speakerphone. I tried this out and folks on the other end told me that I sounded far away, like my voice was coming from the background somewhere.
In summary, the Sony SRSXB13 is great for those who want a bluetooth speaker that is lightweight, ultraportable, easy to use, and still sounds good. It’s a capable speaker for small gatherings, but can easily get drowned out since its max volume doesn’t get very loud.

The Samsung A650 is Ahead of the Curve
on May 13, 2021
Posted by: lambda100
The Samsung A650 34” ultra wide curved monitor has been beautifully crafted and engineered to give you more screen without adding to the desktop clutter. With the A650, I eliminated a docking station and a pair of aging 23” monitors from my desktop.
First of all, this monitor has excellent build quality. It is a heavy monitor, requiring an all metal base and metal stem to support it. I love that there are three degrees of freedom to make physical adjustments to the monitor. The monitor slides smoothly along its stem to allow vertical height adjustment. This means I no longer have to resort to stacking old textbooks to adjust the height of the monitor. It also tilts up and down and can also swivel left and right.
The monitor has plenty of choices for input connections: HDMI, Display Port, and USB Type C. It also has a standard headphone jack, 3 USB Type-A ports, and a LAN interface. With this many connections, it basically turns the monitor into a docking station. I’m using a Dell XPS which lacks ports of any kind except the usb-c thunderbolt connector. Now I only have a single cable running to the monitor. No need to have a separate power charger to the laptop when I have it docked and charged to the monitor. The monitor provides up to 90 watts of power. I have access to all my portable external hard drives which are connected to the usb ports on the monitor. What a clean setup! It made my desktop literally clutter free. Another welcome sight is that the power cord for the monitor is simply a regular cord. There is no bulky power brick attached to the cord like you would find on many monitors in the market today.
The 34”curved screen is nothing short of amazing. It has very thin bezels. It is bright with excellent contrast, sharpness, and vivid colors. The screen is anti-glare and non-glossy. You can set it up anywhere in your room without worrying about having too much reflection. It also has wide viewing angles. The screen has a 21:9 aspect ratio. Using Windows Snap features, I am able to mimic a dual monitor setup and use half the screen for my e-mail browser while the other half is reserved for working on documents and spreadsheets. Beside the standard screen adjustments to color, brightness, contrast, etc., the Samsung A650 has a feature to change the warmth of the display to make it easier on your eyes and reduce fatigue. The monitor also features Picture In Picture (PIP) and Picture By Picture (PBP). Both PIP and PBP allow you to view contents on the monitor simultaneously from two different input sources. PIP basically places the second display as an inset to the larger display. I find PBP to be the more useful of the two since it splits the display in half with the left side from one input device and the right side from another device.
Another bonus with this monitor is that it has VESA mounts. The mount spacing is 100mm x 100mm.
I can’t find anything negative to say about the Samsung A650. I use it solely for office productivity and watching videos, and I am very happy with it. In fact I am even contemplating purchasing another one for a super ultra wide dual curved monitor setup, but that would defeat the purpose of having a clutter free desktop. So much for clearing up my desktop, I’m in...I’m getting another A650 monitor!

SoundLink Revolve+ II, the best-performing portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose, is engineered to spread deep, jaw-dropping sound in every direction. Place it in the center of the room to give everyone the same experience. Or set it near a wall and sound will radiate and reflect around the room, immersing you in that same feeling you felt at your favorite show. The tapered cylindrical shape with a flexible handle makes this wireless speaker easy to grab and go, while a durable aluminum body provides worry-free protection. And it~s water and dust resistant so you can keep the party going, even if it starts to rain. The rechargeable, lithium-ion battery plays up to 17 hours ~ for full-day listening. Voice prompts talk you through Bluetooth pairing, and there~s a built-in speakerphone for calls. Use the Bose Connect app to pair two SoundLink speakers for Stereo or Party Mode.

Bose Hits the Sonic Sweet Spot
on March 24, 2021
Posted by: lambda100
I’ve been using my trusty Bose Soundlink Mini II since 2015. I’ve always enjoyed the sound from this speaker, but lately I’ve been itching to see what else is out there. When I heard that Bose released the Soundlink Revolve+ II, I simply had to give it a shot.
Here are the things I thought Bose got right with the Revolve+ II:
+Sound Quality in a small package - Bose continues to deliver on precision audio quality, delivering big sounds from small devices. The 360 degree sound radiating from the speaker is nothing short of awesome. Place it next to the corner of a room, and the audio sounds more spatial, adding more dimension, and fullness. The speaker is well balanced across the audio spectrum. Bass thumps are powerful without being obtrusively overbearing. Mids are clear and prominent. Dialogue and voices have such clarity that when you’re listening to a program or podcast, it almost sounds like the person is present in the room with you. And what I enjoy most of all is the crispness and sparkle at the treble frequencies (which my mini II lacks).
I think this speaker sounds so good that it can substitute as a soundbar for watching movies. I have tested the speaker with videos and the audio/video latency is minimal. So go ahead and use this speaker to watch your favorite movies.
And all of this splendid audio is coming from a tapered cylinder that is only 7” tall, weighing only 2 lbs that you can easily carry in one hand with the rope handle.
+Battery Life - Bose claims 17 hours of use on a fully charged battery. I don’t know how they tested the battery, but most of the time I don’t listen to music at full volume. I listen more at mid-volume. I’ve been going for over 20 hours, and there is still 30% battery left. Basically, battery life is excellent!
+AUX jack - So many bluetooth speakers have eliminated the 3.5 mm aux jack. I am so glad Bose kept it for the Revolve+ II since I sometimes have the need to plug it into legacy audio equipment.
+Tripod Mount - For those times when I’m outdoors doing gardening work and don’t have a stable surface to place my speaker and don’t want to place it on the grass or dirt, I can bring out my tripod and attach it to the receiving tripod mount on the bottom of the Revolve+ II. It takes the standard tripod screw mount.
+Not a smart speaker - I have plenty of smart speakers in my home already. I don’t need another one listening in on all my private conversations. I’m glad this is a good ole bluetooth speaker. With that said, however, you can still use it with the voice assistant on your phone if you need it. The speaker’s microphone becomes an extension of the microphone on your phone. You’ll just need to press the multi-function button on the speaker to activate the assistant from your phone. Then you’ll be able to make or take calls, check the news and weather, play music, etc.
+Speaker Phone - Audio quality is super clear using the speaker as a speaker phone. The speaker’s microphone works well, too. Callers on the other end of the line heard me clearly.
While I love singing the praises of the Revolve+ II, I think Bose could have done some things better:
-This speaker is still using the Micro-USB port to charge the battery. I don’t know why Bose doesn’t switch to the USB-c charge port, other than to save a few cents in using the older usb standard.
-The Bose Connect app is okay, but could be better. You can control voice prompts, check the battery meter, add another speaker for party/stereo, change the name of the speaker, connect to a new bluetooth source, set an auto timer to turn off the speaker, and of course update the firmware. What this app lacks is treble/bass controls or equalizers. As much as I enjoy Bose’s signature sound, there are times when I might want to turn up or down the bass/treble to suit the specific audio I am listening to. If Bose could add this feature in a future firmware update, then this app would be super useful!
-Powering off the speaker doesn’t really power it down. You would think that if you pressed the power button on the speaker to turn it off, the speaker would power down completely, right? Well, it doesn’t power it down completely. The speaker’s bluetooth antenna still draws power continuously, draining the battery. Someone at Bose thought it would be a good idea to include a feature where the speaker can be turned on directly from the Bose Connect app. So if your speaker is in the off position, you can simply turn it on from the app. I personally do not like this feature because it continues to draw power and deplete the battery. That means you could have the speaker turned off for a few weeks, and when you turn it on, you may find out that there is not much battery charge remaining. I would recommend that Bose provide a firmware update to allow the user an option to decide whether or not to have the speaker power up from the app.
-IP55 - The first digit describes the resistance to intrusion from solids such as dust, while the second digit is for resistance to intrusion from liquids. The Revolve+ II can be sprayed with a low pressure water jet, but don’t submerge it in water, otherwise this expensive speaker is toast. There are a number of bluetooth speakers on the market that have a higher IP rating allowing them to be submerged in water. If being able to take your speaker to the pool party and dunk it in water is important to you, then this speaker isn’t for you.
-Lower bumper quality is questionable. On my Revolve+ II, the top protective bumper appears to be made of a high quality rubber material that can take some abuse. However, the lower bumper doesn’t feel as thick as the rubber material at the top of the speaker. It appears to be hard plastic and lacks the resiliency of the top bumper. In fact, there are already a few light permanent scratches on the lower bumper of my speaker, and it hasn’t even been taken outdoors yet. Take a look at the picture I took showing the scratches.
Should you buy the speaker? This speaker is expensive, but the audio quality is superb! I would recommend the speaker based on audio quality alone. Since audio is highly subjective and based on individual experiences, I would recommend that you audition the Revolve+ II with other speakers. Other than audio quality, this speaker does not compete well with other more rugged speakers from competitors that could survive being submerged in water.

Fast Drive and Easy to Install
on January 28, 2021
Posted by: lambda100
Boot up time and software load times were just sluggish on my seven year old laptop with a spinner drive. I decided to finally swap out the spinner drive with a Crucial MX500 2.5” internal SSD. Now that I have an SSD, I wished I had changed out my spinner years ago. The boot time with my old spinning drive was nearly a minute. With the Crucial MX500, the boot time went down to ten seconds. Programs also loaded much faster. It was like the SSD breathed new life into my aging laptop. Upgrading to an SSD made this laptop fun to use again!
Crucial makes the process of installing the SSD drive as easy and painless as possible. Recognizing that there are some of us who are new to this, the Crucial website: crucial.com/support/ssd provides the step-by-step guide to install the drive. What is nice is that it basically holds your hand every step of the way. Crucial partnered with Acronis to provide the cloning software needed to migrate all the data and operating system from your old spinning drive to the MX500. The only additional cable you’ll need to purchase, if you don’t already have it, is a SATA-to-USB cable to perform the migration of data during the cloning process. Once you have your SSD up and running, Crucial also provides an additional free software to download called the Storage Executive which helps optimize the performance of the MX500. With the Storage Executive, it can monitor the drive’s temperature, download the latest firmware, provide diagnostic data such as the number of hours the drive has been used, and even enable a performance boost to the drive via Crucial’s Momentum Cache feature. Additionally, Crucial stands behind its drive with a five year limited warranty.
This is really an excellent SSD to get. It’s got plenty of storage at 1tb and the reduction in boot time and program load times will astound you. Without a doubt, I highly recommend the MX500.

Great Grill Flavor, None of the Smoke, Easy to Use
on November 25, 2020
Posted by: lambda100
I love grilling, the only problem is that I live in a condo with absolutely zero outdoor space. I’ve always been envious of all my friends in their single family homes with a backyard sporting those fancy outdoor grills. I didn’t need anything fancy, I just wanted to be able to experience the sumptuous grill flavor indoors. When I heard that the Power XL Smokeless Grill Pro allowed me to do just that, I knew I had to try it out for myself.
The Power XL Smokeless Grill delivers on everything that is great about grilling, but without the smoke filled air. Over the course of the week that I tried the grill, I grilled hot dogs, burgers, salmon, steak, and veggies. They all tasted great with the same great grill flavor as if they were cooked on an outdoor grill. And the food even has the grill marks to show for it! All the oil is collected in a container below the grill. The actual grill plate measures approximately 13” x 8”. Measuring in food quantity, you’ll be able to grill 6 burger patties at once, an 8” salmon filet, or 8-12 chicken drumsticks depending on size.
The grill is also very easy to use. You just pour 2 cups of water in the water tray, turn on the grill, set the temperature, and you’re ready to grill. Can’t get any easier than that. No propane or charcoal to deal with.
I enjoy using the grill, but like all kitchen appliances, I did not like cleaning up the grill. The easiest thing to clean is the grill plate since it is coated with a non-stick surface. You’ll also need to wash the glass lid, drip tray, and water tray, and also wipe around the grill for oil splatter.
Here are some other things about the grill. The power cord is about 40” in length. You’ll need to position the grill close to an outlet. I just wished the cord was closer to 6’ to allow me greater freedom to place the grill on the kitchen countertop. The grill is also kind of heavy, weighing in about 13 pounds. It’s not something you’ll want to be moving around much.
All in all, I think this is a fantastic grill. It does what it claims. It gives you the same great grill flavor without the smoke. Definitely thumbs up from me!

An Excellent Projector Without the High Price Tag!
on November 21, 2020
Posted by: lambda100
I love going to the movie theater, but that is no longer a viable option lately with the pandemic. When I heard Epson was releasing its latest entry level 1080p projector, I jumped at the opportunity to bring the cinema experience to the comfort and safety of my living room.
The Epson Home Cinema (HC) 880 is simply awesome! It has just enough of the big features you’d want in a projector without the hefty price tag, and that makes this a value winning projector. I love the fact that it is rated at 3,300 lumens of color and white brightness. What that means for me is that I can watch my favorite movies without turning out the lights. I tried the projector during the day with the blinds and curtains open, letting in plenty of ambient natural light, and the projector image was still bright and sharp without any washout. And during the night I had my living room lights on, the Epson 880 continued to display a bright and clear image. The projector’s lamp brightness is a little dimmer in ECO mode when compared to Normal mode, but both modes still work well in ambient lighting.
I use a large white wall in my living as the projector screen. The projector’s image colors are true to life, sharp, bright, and have plenty of contrast. I was only able to project up to 8’ before I ran out of wall space, but Epson claims that the projector can display up to 386”.
Another feature I like is that the Epson HC 880 comes with an audio jack. I know in the past Epson did not include an audio jack for its older model entry level projectors, but I’m glad Epson finally included this feature. I can now connect my external speakers for a better home cinema audio experience. However, the built in 2 watt mono speaker works well, too. It gets plenty loud to overcome the projector’s fan noise. Speaking of fan noise, the Epson HC 880 isn’t too loud. In ECO mode, the fan barely makes a noise. Once you turn it to Normal mode, the fan does become more audible, but nothing to the point that it becomes a distraction.
One of the best things about this projector is that it is so easy to set up and use. You could mount it on the ceiling, but I simply set it on a table, plugged it in, leveled it by adjusting the height of the rear feet and front foot, adjusted the image for squareness, plugged my laptop into the hdmi connection, focused the image, and I was ready to enjoy a good movie with some popcorn in less than five minutes. The projector allows you to easily adjust for image squareness with the automatic vertical keystone correction, manual horizontal keystone correction, and Quick Corner setting. And there are plenty of image settings just like you would find on a television such as adjustments to color saturation, brightness, contrast, sharpness, tint, and so on. The remote control is easy to use and the onscreen menus are intuitive.
Although it is marketed as a home cinema projector, the HC 800 can also perform well as a business projector. After all, it can reach 3,300 lumens of brightness which is plenty to overcome the ambient lighting of a conference room. And it weighs only 6 lbs which is considered lightweight for a full size projector, making it easy to tote around.
I couldn’t find anything bad to nit pick with the projector. Some folks might be turned off by the limited number of connections. It only has 1 hdmi, 1 usb-type a, 1 usb-type b, and an audio jack as its interfaces. I don’t mind though, because I only use the hdmi connection. I can connect my google chromecast to the hdmi and power it with the usb-type a connection on the projector. This turns the HC 880 into a streaming machine.
Things that I wished were featured on the HC 880 would be a backlit remote control for the times when I’m using the projector in the dark, and also if Epson could include a soft carrying case for the projector. Other than that, for the value price and extraordinary image quality and features, the Epson HC 880 is a perfect entry level projector meeting the needs for a fun family movie night. I totally recommend this projector!

Big Features in Such a Small Package
on November 6, 2020
Posted by: lambda100
The Jabra Elite 85t proves that good things indeed come in small packages. With a lightweight comfortable fit, good audio quality, a splendidly useful app, and strong active noise cancellation, the audio engineers crafted truly wireless earbuds that are a joy to experience.
What you get in the Box.
-Elite 85t wireless earbuds
-Charging case
-Type C to Type A charging cable
-3 different size pairs of ear gels
-warranty sheet

Here are some of the things that I really like about the Elite 85t:
**Comfortable Earbuds**
The Jabra Elite 85t is by far the most comfortable earbuds I have used. A lot of the earbuds are uncomfortable and put a lot of pressure on my ear, much like how ear plugs feel. With the open design of the Elite 85t, I don’t feel any of the pressure. In fact they feel very lightweight and after leaving them in my ears for several hours, I didn’t feel any ear fatigue. The oval ear gels are also soft and provide just the right amount of seal without feeling tight. They also never once felt like they were going to fall off. Even vigorously shaking my head back and off, the earbuds stayed firmly in my ears.
**Excellent Sound+ app**
I recommend that you download the Sound+ app before you do anything else. Jabra developed a feature rich, highly useful app making it an essential complement to the user experience. Once you download the app and take the earbuds out of the magnetic case, the app will initiate the MySound feature to optimize the audio experience based on your personal hearing profile. Much like a hearing test, the app will have you put an earbud in each ear one at a time and play tones of various volumes to gather your hearing profile. The Sound+ app is the brains of the earbuds. Using the app, you’ll be able to perform a number of customizations such as adjusting the intensity of active noise cancellation (ANC), adjusting the amount of ambient sound that comes through the earbuds (Jabra calls this Hear Through), adjusting the user customizable five band equalizer, configuring the buttons on the earbuds to your specific liking, adjusting the Soundtone feature to allow you to hear your own voice while on calls, saving three different listening profiles (My Moment, Commute, Focus), and even playing sounds to mask the noise around you such as white noise and nature sounds.

**Splendid ANC**
I’ve tried various ANC truly wireless earbuds from various manufacturers and I have to say that the ANC on the Jabra Elite 85t is remarkably good. The noisy humming of my bedroom fan disappeared and my family’s dialogue became nothing more than a whisper and sounded distantly far away. The ANC does its job best with lower frequency sounds and ambient sounds become significantly muted at mid and higher frequencies. In other words, the Jabra Elite 85t does a darn good job at keeping unwanted noise out. You can vary the intensity of the ANC through five levels with a slider via the app.

On the opposite end, sometimes it is not desirable to have ANC, and you may want to allow some ambient noise to come through the earbuds such as when you need to be aware of your surroundings. Well, the Elite 85t has you covered here with its Here Through feature. The microphones pick up the ambient noises allowing them to be heard and amplified through the earbuds. Just like the ANC feature, there is a five point slider that varies the intensity of the ambient noise to be heard.
**Great Audio Quality**
The audio experience is highly subjective. It’s a good thing the app has a five band equalizer to enable customization of the audio to each individual’s specific audio taste. The audio from the earbuds sound pretty good to me. I think it is well balanced. However, I would have liked to have a little bit more crispness and sparkle and a wider soundstage. It has plenty of low end energy when needed, without bringing down the rest of the audio spectrum. I listened to several bass test audio on youtube and was surprised at the amount of bass that rumbled through the earbuds.

**Negligible Audio Latency**
I love watching videos on my phone and pc while using bluetooth headphones but just hate it when there is a visible lag in audio compared to the video. The Elite 85t did not show any noticeable audio latency. Big thumbs up from me.

**Robust Bluetooth Connection**
With the Elite 85t I did not experience any dropouts, stuttering, or loss of connection between the right and left earbuds. The wireless connection was robust whether I was 30 feet away from my phone or had my phone in my pants back pocket.

**Crystal Clear Call Quality**
The folks on the other side of my business phone calls have told me that my voice sounds clear.

**Ability to Connect to Two Bluetooth Sources Simultaneously**
Jabra calls it Multi-connect, the ability to be paired to two devices at once. So if you happen to have two mobile phones for instance, you’ll be able to accept calls from either device.

**Wireless Qi Charging or Wired Charging. It’s up to you.**
When you need to recharge the earbuds, just place them in the case and either charge them wirelessly with a Qi-certified charger or use the included USB-C cable.

The Elite 85t are a great set of wireless earbuds. They’re not perfect though, and there were some things which I wished they could improve upon.
--Battery Life is Ok--
According to Jabra, the battery will last up to 5.5 hrs with ANC (up to 25 hrs with charging case) and 7 hrs with ANC off (up to 31 hrs with charging case). That’s decent but I’ve seen other truly wireless earbuds that will last longer than 7 hrs between charges.

The Sound+ app shows three different battery meters. One each for the left and right ear buds and one for the charging case. It bothered me that the right ear bud drained between 10%-15% faster than the left earbud. I guess it makes sense that the right ear bud drains faster since it is the master earbud that receives the bluetooth signal from the source device and also must route the signal over to the left earbud. Nevertheless, I wished the two earbuds would drain more uniformly.
--Mono Earbud Mode: Right earbud Only--
The left earbud won’t work on its own for music or for calls. Only the right earbud will.

Conclusion:
The Elite 85t just seems like the right choice. There’s a lot to like about these earbuds from the comfortable fit to the excellent ANC and the really good audio and voice quality. If anything, it should be on your short list of truly wireless earbuds to audition.

Make the most of every day with the sleek style, performance, and all-day battery life~ 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. ~Up 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.

A Good Ultraportable Laptop
on October 24, 2020
Posted by: lambda100
Microsoft broadened its line up of Surface computers with the latest Surface Laptop Go designed with form, function, and value in mind. It’s biggest features are its portability and modern style that eschews the traditional ultrabook widescreen for a more boxy 3:2 aspect ratio that works to separate itself from the crowded field of ultrabooks. The Surface Go succeeds in its sleek looks, attractive new colors, and its featherweight body, but gives up some to its competition in terms of features.
Before I continue further, I would like to state that I am part of the Best Buy Tech Insider Network program and received the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go from Best Buy in exchange for my honest, unbiased, review of the product. All the opinions and experiences are my own.
Here are some of the positive features of the Surface Laptop Go:
+Attractive Style and Colors: If this was a beauty contest, the Surface Laptop Go would win. Microsoft crafted the laptop with a smooth aluminum frame at the top and the edges, and soft curves at the corners and edges that feel comfortable to hold. The bottom of the laptop is plastic, but it doesn’t feel out of place and blends in nicely with the overall appeal of the laptop. It comes in three different color options Ice blue, Platinum, and Sandstone. I received the Sandstone colored one which has a hint of pink to it and attract a lot of positive attention.
+Featherweight and Portable: The Surface Laptop Go seems to almost defy gravity, weighing in at a mere 2.45 lbs. This is lighter than many ultraportables. Not only that, it measures only 8.10”x10.95” in width and length, smaller dimensions than a letter sized paper. The laptop is only around ⅝” in thickness. It is easy to throw in a bag and take it with you wherever you want.
+Good, but not outstanding battery life: Microsoft touts a single fully charged battery can power the laptop up to 13 hours of use. I never believe these claims and neither should you. 13 hours of battery is only achieved under certain conditions, settings, and usage. If you’re like me who uses the laptop continuously during a full 9 hour plus work or school day where you’re browsing the web with multiple tabs opened, conducting online meetings using the webcam and audio, using word processing documents and spreadsheets, and maybe even connected to a bluetooth device, then expect anywhere from 6-8 hour maximum of usage because that is what I got out of the battery depending on how I used the laptop. Keep that ac adapter close by.
+Quick boot up time: Goes without saying that laptops with solid state drives boot up fairly fast. It took less than 15 seconds for the Surface Laptop Go to boot up.
+Windows Hello Fingerprint reader on the power button: I really like signing into the laptop using the fingerprint reader which is ingeniously placed on the power button. You can register more than one fingerprint, say for example you want to log into the laptop using both the left or right index fingerprints.
+Screen is plenty bright: I couldn’t find on Microsoft’s technical specs how many nits of brightness the screen can get, so I did the next best thing and took the laptop outside in the bright midday sunlight and qualitatively tested it for everybody who read this far in the review. I turned the laptop to the brightest display setting and was relieved that I was able to still see the contents on the display clearly and with plenty of color in the bright sunlight. So for those of you who like to work with the laptop outdoors, rest assured you’ll be able to still see the contents on the display. It’s not the brightness that should concern you. It’s the amount of glare that will be reflecting off of the Surface Laptop Go’s glossy screen that you need to worry about when working outdoors.
+Touchscreen: Good to see that the Surface Laptop Go is equipped with a touchscreen for those times when I feel like I need to leave my fingerprints on it.
+10th gen Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, integrated graphics: This is plenty for office type work, web browsing, and video streaming. Folks who are into gaming, do a lot of video or photo editing shouldn’t be looking at this laptop for those exclusive uses, but it doesn’t hurt for this community to consider this as a second laptop for the other uses when they don’t want to lug around a monster gaming machine.
+Fully dockable: Although it is marketed as a ultraportable laptop, don’t forget that you can also hook it up to a docking station with dual monitors. That is what I did, and the Surface Laptop Go runs perfectly fine. Increased my productivity and the laptop didn’t even slow down a bit running dual monitors, external keyboard/mouse, and other peripherals attached to the docking station.
+keyboard and trackpad: The keys are well spaced and have just the right amount of travel and feedback. I type a lot and didn’t get any fatigue from long hours of typing using the Surface Laptop Go keyboard. Same goes with the trackpad. The trackpad is large enough that I never felt like I needed more space, and my fingers glided smoothly across the trackpad surface. Tapping is also very responsive.
+720p webcam: I never bothered with webcams until the pandemic hit. Now having a webcam is essential for all those online video meetings. The webcam on the Surface Laptop Go is plenty clear and bright. The indicator lights up when the webcam is in use.

Here are some Cons of the Surface Laptop Go:
-Windows 10 in S Mode: The laptop is shipped with Windows 10 in S mode. I did not want to be tied down to using apps available only from the Microsoft Apps Store. The first thing I did was switch to Windows 10 Home. This is a personal choice.
-When the laptop is turned off and charging, there is no way to tell when it is fully charged. On many laptops there is usually an indicator light along the edge that either turns off or changes color when the laptop is fully charged. There is no battery charge indicator light on the Surface Laptop Go to notify me that it is fully charged. I don’t know whether to leave the laptop connected to the ac adapter or not.
-No back lit keyboard
-Screen resolution is less than 1080p.
-Proprietary Surface Connect charge port. Microsoft should use usb-c port for charging.
-The only available ports are 1 usb-c and 1 usb-a.
-No micro SD card slot.
-No path for upgrading the laptop. You’re stuck with 256gb of storage and 8GB of RAM. But, to be fair, most ultraportables these days are not upgradeable.
-Bottom of laptop gets very warm when the processor is performing intensive tasks. The fan will also kick in to cool the laptop internals. Just a warning, if you have the Surface Laptop Go resting on your lap, you may be bothered by the heat generated from the bottom of the laptop.

Do I recommend the Surface Laptop Go? This laptop is a solid performer for your everyday office, web, and video streaming needs. On one hand, its ultra portability, lightweight, and good looks make it an easy choice for consideration for those who only scratch the surface. On the other hand, Microsoft omitted features I listed in the Cons section of my review such as not having a backlit keyboard, no micro SD slot, no additional ports beyond one usb-c and one usb-a, and less than full HD screen which are included features in competitor models within the same price point. So, while the aesthetics makes it a clear choice, a closer look from a value perspective makes it more difficult to give a full recommendation. Overall, I would give it a lukewarm recommendation.

The Pixel 4a Delivers Without Draining Your Wallet
on August 26, 2020
Posted by: lambda100
With the Pixel 4a, Google proves you can get a lot of phone without having to buy the top of the line flagships. Sure it’s not as sleek as the premium phones and doesn’t include features such as waterproofing, 5G, and wireless charging, but at the mid-range price that Google is charging for this phone, it still packs a ton of features and is the perfect phone for the value conscious consumer.
Having used so many larger, heavier phones that stuck out of my back pocket, I have forgotten how well a small 5.8” screen phone feels in one hand. The phone is very light, but the weight is well balanced and it is easy to steady and touch the screen on one hand. The screen itself is bright and the colors on the display are vibrant. At its brightest setting, I was easily able to see the contents of the screen in bright sunlight.
I really enjoy the Google line of phones, such as this Pixel 4a, because of the pure android experience. No third party bloatware apps and no third party user interfaces to bog down the system. It doesn’t have the powerful processors like the more expensive phones, but I don’t feel the average consumer needs it. This phone handles all the typical tasks with ease. Apps open nearly instantaneously and swiping is smooth and dynamic. I also love the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. The sensor does a fantastic job recognizing my fingerprint and unlocks quickly.
Perhaps the best feature of the pixel 4a is the camera. What google has done with the combination of camera hardware and software is nothing short of astonishing. Pictures in daylight and low light are just gorgeous and sharp. Even when zooming into the photo and pixel peeping, you are able to see details. Photos are bright, with plenty of contrast, natural color, and dynamic range. With Portrait mode, you can adjust the background blur as though you had taken the picture with a DSLR with an expensive lens. The camera also handles challenging lighting conditions with ease. I love the Night Sight feature on the camera. It basically allows you to take a photo with very little available light and makes it look like it was taken in a more well lit environment. It’s just amazing what the software can do. Adding to that is the astrophotography feature within Night Sight which allows pictures to be taken of the stars by taking long exposure shots. You’ll need to mount the camera on a tripod to do this though. For video, the camera can shoot in 1080p (30fps, 60fps) and also in 4k. It also features slow motion, time lapse, panorama shots, and photo sphere. The camera on the pixel 4a shows you that you can get some impressive pictures and videos without having to resort to using a DSLR.
And let us not forget about the Google Assistant on the phone. This is a new Google Assistant which allows it to have more interaction with your apps such as sending texts, searching photos, and getting directions.
I fiddled with apps, streamed movies and music, browsed the web, and made phone calls throughout the day and the battery kept up with me. Unless you are a heavy user, I don’t see why the phone shouldn’t be able to last a day between charges.
One feature that brought a smile to my face is that Google kept the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the pixel 4a for those times we still need a wired connection to our legacy audio devices.
In summary, you’d be hard pressed not to consider the pixel 4a on your short list of mid-range phones. It is comfortable to hold with one hand, performs exceptionally well, has a battery that can last the day, has a top of the line camera, and even retains the headphone jack! With the pixel 4a you also get a guaranteed minimum three years of operating system and security updates. A lot of phone manufacturers won’t update beyond the installed OS, so there is real value here with the pixel 4a. I highly recommend the phone.

Skip the Store Bought Juice; Buy this Instead
on May 9, 2020
Posted by: lambda100
The Oster Juice Extractor is an easy to use, no frills juicer that does a fantastic job getting every last drop of juice out of the pulp. Using the juice extractor, I juiced carrots, apples, pineapples, pears, grapes, spinach,and kale. The juicer performed flawlessly.
Here are some of the things I like about it.
Pros:
Easy assembly: Once you get the hang of it, it’ll take less than a minute to put all the pieces back together after cleaning.
Easy assembly: Once you get the hang of it, it’ll take less than a minute to put all the pieces back together after cleaning.
Simple to Use: A single knob controls the juicer. Turn the knob to the right and it spins at high speed; turn it to the left and it spins at low speed; and turn it back to the neutral position switches the juicer off. Can’t get any easier to use than that. You only have two speed options: high and low, nothing in between. High speed for hard fruits and veggies and low speed for soft fruits and veggies.
Efficient: I expected the pulp that was collected in the pulp container to be wet with residual juice, but was pleasantly surprised by how dry the pulp was. The juicer does a fantastic job extracting as much of the juice as possible. To get any more juice from the pulp, you would need to upgrade to the pricier masticating juicers.
Large 32 oz pitcher: The container is large enough to hold 4 cups of juice. You can even put your own glass underneath the spout by attaching the juice nozzle to prevent splashing.
Con:
The only thing I did not enjoy about the juicer is the clean up. I washed the parts by hand, but they are dishwasher safe. There are six pieces to wash. That’s a lot to clean. However, they all wash off very quickly except for the filter basket. I wash all the parts immediately after juicing so that nothing sticks to the juicer parts. Cleaning the filter basket is not as easy as the “Rinse N’ Ready” that the Oster marketing claims it to be. Pulp is clinging to the fine mesh filter basket and must be dislodged. You can’t simply run it under the faucet to remove the pulp. What makes this a bit precarious is that the cutting blade sits at the bottom of the filter basket, so you will have to be extra careful not to cut your fingers as you’re washing the filter basket. What worked for me when cleaning the filter basket was to use a soft bristle toothbrush. The bristles easily dislodged the pulp from the filter under running water and I did not have to risk cutting my fingers on the cutting blade.

The bristles easily dislodged the pulp from the filter under running water and I did not have to risk cutting my fingers on the cutting blade.
Finally, I want to mention the Extra Wide Food Chute. Oster claims that the Food Chute fits whole fruits and veggies, even a whole apple. Well, the truth is that the diameter of the food chute is just a hair over 2.75”. Most apples, pears, and oranges are larger than 2.75.” Therefore, plan on cutting the fruits down to size before feeding it into the chute.
Verdict: The juicer works so well and is so simple to use that I can forgive Oster for the marketing claims. I would definitely recommend the Oster Juice Extractor for those looking to promote healthy living.

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.
