Good, but not great keyboard

I was looking for a keyboard that could easily switch between devices. I've been using a Microsoft BT keyboard for years, and I still love it, but it's a pain to re-pair every time I want to use it on a different device. Enter the Logitech K480.
This keyboard switches easily between devices, and the slot is handy for when you need to stand your phone or tablet up. My biggest complaint is the way that typing feels on this keyboard. The keys are a good size, but the way they travel just doesn't lend itself to fast touch typing. It's not horrible, and I know I'll get used to it, but it's just not great. In addition to the feel, it's a bit loud, and sounds cheap.
Also keep in mind that this keyboard isn't a great traveling option, if you're carrying it around. It's heavy, as it needs to be in order to not topple over when you're using it to prop up your tablet. This is better for a desk setup where you have multiple devices and just want to have a single keyboard. In that case, it will probably work well for you, provided you don't mind the drawbacks I mentioned.
For a better traveling keyboard, get the Logitech Keys to Go keyboard. That one is very thin and light, and surprisingly, typing on it feels pretty good. I love that keyboard!

This is one of Matt Damon's better movies, and it's very true to the novel. If you've read the book, you won't be disappointed with this movie, which is more than I can say for a lot of adaptations. The pace of this movie is very good, and the ending is satisfying. Pick up a copy--you won't be sorry!

I thought that season 4 was not very good, and I didn't think the series had any gas left in the tank. Season 5 showed that they can still keep you coming back for more. This was a much better season, and created interest for season 6. Too bad there may never be a season 6. Because of that, you should get this season to round out your set!

Lots of power, but good for novices, too.

It’s been quite a few years since I’ve updated Photoshop Elements on my computer. So many, in fact, that I didn’t even have Elements installed. When I recently had the opportunity to pick up the 2018 version, I figured that maybe it was time for me to see how Elements has changed.
Installation took a while (it’s a 5.1 GB program) but went smoothly. I experienced no problems during installation, and appreciated that Adobe offers the opportunity to install either from the DVD or by downloading it from Adobe’s servers. That’s a great option with fewer and fewer laptops coming with optical drives these days (or if you just don’t feel like dealing with the disc).
I decided to start with the Organizer. I’ve been using a free tool for this task for some time now, so I was interested to see how the new Elements would compare. Overall, I think Elements is the better organizer and its integration with the editor is excellent. I had over 37,000 photos to import, which took a while, but that’s to be expected. One thing I really liked about the organizer was the ability to tag photos to a location on the map. Elements offers a lot of ways to tag your photos to make it easier to find them later. With as many photos as I have, this is a great feature that I’m looking forward to exploring.
On the editing side of things, Elements offers three modes: Quick, Guided and Expert. Quick mode is where you’ll old standby adjustments like Smart Fix, exposure, lighting, color, balance and sharpening. A great feature that was new to me was the ability to see a side-by-side view of the before and after. This is a great way to see the impact of the changes you’re making and undo them if necessary.
Guided mode walks you through making changes like replacing the background, changing the depth of field, or changing the composition of the photo. This mode makes it easy to do some things that previously would have been considered difficult. It’s really just a repackaging of the tools, but this is great when you just want to get it done.

This mode makes it easy to do some things that previously would have been considered difficult. It’s really just a repackaging of the tools, but this is great when you just want to get it done.
Expert mode is what you would think it should be: you’re the expert, so you do it all yourself with the wide variety of tools available in the program. It’s clear that there is a huge amount of depth in this program, and it’s going to take me a long time to get through it all. What’s great about that is that Adobe has provided a wealth of helps, both in the documentation as well as the wonderful eLive mode. This is where you can find help for what you’re trying to do, as well as getting ideas and guidance on new techniques. This is a wonderful resource and one that I’m sure I’ll spend a lot of time with.
Making minor adjustments is easy to do, and this has always been a strength of the program. The ability to get rid of red eye, whiten teeth or open closed eyes is very cool and can help you salvage a photo that might otherwise be a loss. I did find it frustration, however, to try to go deeper without the knowledge and experience to do so. In other words, I was hoping that things like replacing the background would be easier to do with this version. I tried to use the magic lasso tool, but could never really select what I was trying to select. Perhaps I’ll be able to do this with more study and practice, but in my opinion, this is the kind of thing that an editor should make easier. This just points out that there is a huge amount of capability hidden in this program, and will reward those with the perseverance to figure it out.
Overall, I think Photoshop Elements 2018 is a good value, and gives the user a powerful set of tools for managing and improving their photo collection. You can often find Elements on sale, so if it’s been a while since you’ve upgraded, now’s the time to pick this up. If you have the prior version, I’m not sure there’s enough new stuff here to justify the upgrade, but you should at least check it out.

Very good chromebook with lots of screen space
on October 22, 2017
Posted by: BobinVA
from Lynchburg, VA
I've been intrigued by the idea of a Chromebook for a long time, but could never bring myself to take the plunge and get one. That all changed with the introduction of the Acer Chromebook 15. There are endless reviews of Chrome OS and whether it is a suitable replacement for Windows or Mac OS, so I'll try to keep comments of that nature to a minimum. Instead, I want to focus on this particular Chromebook, and what sets it apart from others.
First off, this Chromebook is the only one on the market sporting a 15.6 inch screen. That makes it a direct competitor for the laptop size that is probably most prevalent, at least until recently. It also gives a lot more working space if your goal is to get real work done on your Chromebook. I think most people think of Chromebooks more like tablets, which is very appropriate for the 2 in 1 designs, but not so much for the traditional clamshell design. At first, I didn't think I wanted something this big, but after using it for a while, I realized that I didn't need to break out my regular laptop as much just to get "real" work done. At this size, the Chromebook is every bit as capable of "real" work as your normal laptop, with some limitations, as I'll talk about later.
Getting started with the Chromebook was quick and painless. After logging in to my Gmail account, I was ready to go. The first thing you'll notice is that this Chromebook features a very nice screen. It's a full HD IPS screen, which means that it features great extra-wide viewing angles. I found the screen to be very pleasant to look at, and the inclusion of touch-screen capability allows you to take full advantage of the Google Play store, which is included on all newer Chromebooks.
The Acer Chromebook 15 is well-built, and feels solid. The palm rest and top cover are both aluminum, which give it a more "premium" feel. It's not crafted from a single piece of aluminum, like a Macbook, but it feels very solid nonetheless. The bottom is plastic, which probably helps it to be a little lighter. The keys have good travel, and typing is comfortable. The keys are backlit, which is a nice touch. Coming from a Windows machine, it does take a bit of adjusting to get used to the layout of a Chromebook keyboard. The touchpad is excellent. It is very sensitive, and clicking feels solid and responsive. No complaints in the input department.

It is very sensitive, and clicking feels solid and responsive. No complaints in the input department.
One thing you'll immediately notice is that there is a lot of space around the keyboard. That's because Acer decided to go with top-firing stereo speakers, with one on either side of the keyboard. These may actually the best sounding speakers I've heard on any of the many laptops I've used. They have plenty of volume and don't sound tinny or filled with distortion at all. They are so good, you'll want to have music playing in the background.
Much is made of battery life on chromebooks, and the Acer Chromebook 15 delivers. I've been regularly getting 10-11 hours on a charge, and it charges very quickly through either of the USB-C ports. Speaking of ports, there is no HDMI port, so you'll need an adapter if you want to hook up this machine to a TV or projector. I think I would have rather given up one of the USB-C ports in exchange for a full HDMI port.
The Acer Chromebook 15 comes with 4GB of RAM, which was plenty for everything I did. The machine is responsive, even with lots of tabs and apps open. As you might expect, most, if not all, file storage is done online, but the Chromebook does have some local storage. Mine came with 32 GB of eMMC storage, not SSD, unfortunately. Chrome OS is really set up to discourage the use of local storage, so I haven't really done much with that. This machine does come with a microSD card slot, so I'll probably make use of that, since Chrome OS treats the local storage as a cache, and may delete older files, so probably not a good idea to count on the local storage. Speaking of the SD card, I had an old one that we previously used in a phone, so I figured I'd give it a shot. This particular card may be damaged, and while attempting to format the card, my chromebook crashed. It recovered quickly, but I do want to know more about why that happened and whether that's normal, but I would have expected it to handle the card, even a bad one, more gracefully. On the other hand, after that happened I was able to access the files on the card, which no other machine has allowed me to do. So, that's a win!
So, what's the verdict? The Acer Chromebook 15 is a great machine, and with the large screen size it is actually a candidate to be your laptop replacement. Whether you are a convert to Chrome OS or not is another question, but if you are a convert, then this is certainly a good machine to consider. It costs a little more than the budget machines, but you're getting a very well-built machine that you can feel good about. You may see other reviews talking about how huge it is, but that's only in relation to those small chromebooks that are basically tablet sized. If you consider this as a full laptop, it's a great size, and it's also pretty lightweight. Given the great battery life, you can carry just the machine with you for a full day's worth of work, leaving the charger at home. If you're in the market for a chromebook, you owe it to yourself to check this one out!

Good, but not as good as the first

As a big fan of the first movie, I was excited to be able to see the sequel. While it does retain much of the feel of the first, it's missing that "special" feel that the first one had. The female character has been replaced, and the character played by Daniel Radcliffe is a good addition, although you might not think so at first. We learn a little more of Lionel Shrike's story, and that's a good thing. Overall, I think this is definitely worth seeing. In fact, I think I need to watch it a few more times to pick up the subtleties, and that's why I bought it.

Great monitor at a great price
on October 12, 2017
Posted by: BobinVA
from Lynchburg, VA
I’ve been using the same 20” flat-screen monitor for about the last 12 years, and it still works. However, it was made before HDMI was common, so its main input is VGA. So, I decided it was time to upgrade. This Acer 23” widescreen monitor is a very good value in its price range. It is extremely thin and light, and with a very small bezel, it doesn’t take up any more space than necessary.
The monitor comes with power cord, base for the stand, and a VGA cable. I think it’s interesting that Acer chose to include a VGA cable as opposed to an HDMI cable. Fewer and fewer laptops still include a VGA port, so I would have expected them to include an HDMI cable instead. Perhaps the thinking is that most households are more likely to have an HDMI cable than a VGA cable, but I digress.
While many people will probably not even look at the included documentation, I decided to do so. There I was surprised to learn that the stand is not detachable and must be straightened in order to use it. Why was that surprising? Because the box contained a base and post for the stand. The post inserts into the back of the monitor and then fits into the base, which can be fastened to the post using the attached screw. While it isn’t immediately apparent, the monitor can be tilted to your desired angle.
With the monitor assembled and plugged in, I then went in search of the power button. On the bottom right side of the monitor there are 4 buttons. Unfortunately, they are not labeled, so I just chose to press the one on the far right, figuring that would be the power button. It was, as confirmed by a tiny blue LED that lit up. Since the buttons aren’t labeled, you just have to start pushing them to figure out what they do. It’s not actually a big deal, however, as the on-screen menu is well designed and the controls shown on the screen line up with the buttons, indicating which button does what. It definitely works, but it’s a little cumbersome to use.
The screen itself is very bright and clear, with full HD resolution. In fact, it has brightness to spare, which is nice. With an IPS display, the viewing angles are excellent. It features 4 different display modes: standard, graphics, movie and user. Except for user mode, these are pre-set packages of settings such as brightness, contrast, etc. User mode is what you get when you manually change any of the settings.
The resolution of this monitor is 1920 x 1080, and it looks very good. I don’t have experience with high-end monitors, so I don’t know if they would be any different, but I noticed that when I viewed text up close on the screen, it didn’t appear to be as sharp as it was on my laptop’s screen. Perhaps that has to do with pixel density, but I’m not sure. It’s a very subtle thing, and does not detract from the image. It’s really a function of how close you sit to the monitor, so perhaps I was a bit too close. Especially at this price range, I would not consider this a drawback.
Overall, this is a great monitor at a great price. It’s large enough to provide plenty of work space, so you won’t feel cramped at all.

Powerful router!
on September 29, 2017
Posted by: BobinVA
from Lynchburg, VA
It's not often that I think about the word "unboxing" when considering a router, but that's what happened when I received my Linksys WRT32X AC3200 router. The box is matte black with a magnetic closure that makes you think "quality". Inside, the router is nicely packaged in custom foam inserts and the box itself is lined with foam like you'd see in a sound-proof room. Not exactly what I've come to expect from the packaging for a router. So far, so good.
In the past, setting up a new router was one of those things that I looked forward to about as much as I looked forward to getting a filling in a tooth. Thankfully, those days are gone. Setting up this router is a pretty easy affair, and you can choose to manually input your settings, or go with a more preset approach. One thing that was especially nice was that there are presets for the most popular DNS providers: Google, OpenDNS or your own ISP. As a user of OpenDNS, I appreciated being able to input my DNS settings with just the click of a button.
If you're setting up the router wirelessly, Linksys offers a temporary WiFi network that you can join to enter the settings for your network. Unfortunately, I found this temporary WiFi to be a bit spotty, as I kept having to reconnect, so I gave up and used a hard-wired Ethernet connection for initial setup instead. If this is your first router, you may find that pretty annoying.
If you've used routers from other manufacturers before, you'll immediately notice that the GUI for this Linksys router is very different. I appreciate that they've worked hard to make it visually appealing and easy to use, but sometimes it felt like settings were either missing entirely or hidden. This can make it difficult to drill down into some of the more advanced settings, but I didn't run across anything that I wasn't able to do.
Linksys combines the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands by default, but you can separate them if you wish. Combining them is a nice feature that allows the router to choose the band with the most capacity. For other routers, you have to switch bands manually if you want to avoid too much traffic on the other band.
This Linksys router automatically checks for firmware updates in the middle of the night and applies them while you're sleeping. This is on by default, so unless you change it, you should ensure that the router is using the correct time zone for your location. Otherwise, you could end up with a router restart in the middle of a big online gaming session!
Strangely, I did not find a way to filter devices by MAC address. This is a pretty common feature, so I'm not sure why Linksys didn't include it. I'll keep digging, because it's possible that I just didn't find it. Another curious omission is the lack of an iOS app that you can use to administer your router. I found this to be a handy feature on my old router and one that allowed me to check traffic and make changes without starting up my computer. Hopefully Linksys will create an app soon.
I like to check my router's log files occasionally to monitor connections over time. Most routers allow access to their log files, and this one is no exception. If you make use of these, you'll want to view them using a tool like Notepad++. Otherwise, you'll just be looking at one giant string of text all put together.
A feature that I've come to rely on over the years is online storage. This allows you to add a USB flash drive to instantly add network storage for the users on your network. Although I tried everything I could think of, I did not successfully access the flash drive via WiFi. The approach that Linksys takes to online storage is pretty clunky and not at all user friendly. Compounding this problem is the fact that you have to go to the Linksys website and locate the documentation on your own. It's not too bad, but I felt that it could be a lot more comprehensive than it is. Some things just aren't explained in any depth at all, which could be a problem for a newbie.
In terms of performance, this router is rock solid. I experienced a strong signal throughout my house, and it was a bit stronger than the router it is replacing, which is about 6 months old. Although I do not have any devices that feature the Killer prioritization engine, I do appreciate the ability to prioritize devices on the network. My sons often complained about signal dropouts on the old router, so I'm hoping that this feature will solve that issue for us. We've been able to use multiple devices connected to the web at the same time while also streaming a movie on TV, with no dropouts or slow-downs. The inclusion of Gigabit ethernet ports is also a nice touch.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this router. It is built like a tank (and kinda looks like one, too) and has performance to match. I haven't had it a long time yet, so it remains to be seen if it outperforms less expensive routers over time. It's built specifically as a gaming router, so if you have devices that are able to take advantage of those features, you'll probably really like this one.

A fantastic portable keyboard!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been in the market for a keyboard for my iPad for some time now. I used to have an iPad mini, and I had one of those keyboard cases that I used with it, but I didn't want one of those again. They add too much bulk and make it too difficult to take the iPad out of the case and use it "naked". In my opinion, if you're just going to keep it in a bulky case, then you don't need to spend extra for the thinness of the iPad.
When I found the Keys to Go by Logitech, I was intrigued. Here was a keyboard that was as thin as the type cover for the Surface, but it wasn't part of a case. That meant I could leave it behind when I didn't need it, but it would be easy to carry it with me when I did. Not being part of a case also means that I won't have to buy it again when the next iPad comes out with slightly different dimensions.
That settled the size/weight questions, but what about what really matters for a keyboard--typing? Surprisingly enough, this keyboard is great! It doesn't have the key travel of a full-sized keyboard, but it has a surprising amount of key travel--just enough to give good tactile feedback as you use it. The dedicated iPad keys are very convenient, too. In all, I'm very pleased with this keyboard and glad I chose it.

The best value in the iPad lineup

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using an iPad since the iPad2, including a Mini. Most recently, I had an iPad Air, and I began thinking it was time for a new one. While I've enjoyed using the iPads, I didn't have to pay for them, since they were provided by my company. Well, this one would be provided by me. I just couldn't justify the high price tags that Apple's products always have.
Enter the 2017 iPad! Finally, a device with Apple's quality, but a more reasonable price. Sure, they made a few compromises--the screen isn't laminated, and it's not as thin as the latest version of the iPad Air, but I think these are reasonable trade-offs for the price. The compromises they made were very smart, since they didn't skimp on the processor (it has an A9), and they didn't skimp on screen resolution--it has a gorgeous retina screen.
For me, this brought the iPad into the price range where I didn't have to feel guilty for paying too much. It still has an Apple quality build, and the performance is very good. I'm quite pleased with it, and I think I'll be able to get many good years out of it.
If you've been on the fence about buying an iPad, you should go for this one. If you already have an iPad Air current version, you probably don't need this upgrade. And if you need what the iPad Pro offers, then you're already in another category. This is the iPad for the average user, and as such, I think it's great!

Bluetooth is turned off on our work computers. Will this operate as a wired mouse with the USB cable attached or is it strictly for charging
Yes, it will operate as a wired mouse that way, but that is really defeating its purpose. Can you use the unified receiver instead? I'm doing that instead of bluetooth, and it works very well.

This HP Pavilion 32-inch monitor features an anti-glare panel for better visibility in bright conditions, while the Low Blue Light mode reduces eyestrain.
Wall mountable - yes How can this be wall mounted? Please suggest a wall mount for this monitor.
The monitor comes with a bracket that you can attach to the back of the monitor. This will allow you to attach it to a mount. I'd suggest a full-motion wall mount that has the square center bracket, as this will match up with the bracket on the monitor itself. I don't think the monitor conforms to the VESA standard for mounting brackets, but I'm not sure. I'm not mounting my monitor, so these are just some thoughts after having just setting mine up. Good luck!

How good is the motion detection really? I have purchased several cams and the motion detection is awful. Thanks
I've found it to be quite good. Sometimes it seems to pick up the motion of swaying tree branches. I'm still trying to figure out the optimal sensitivity setting.

How long are the recorded clips? Do the clips start before motion is detected?
I think the clips are about 30 seconds. They do seem to start before motion is detected, which results in complete clips of the action.

Can the floodlight be wired and howlong do the battery last
I'm not sure if there are other models, but mine is wired only. There is no option for it to be battery powered. Given how bright the lights are, and how often they're likely to be tripped, I would think that batteries would go dead pretty often. If you have the choice, hard wire it.
