Good Portable Speaker
on March 11, 2018
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
This thing has some serious Bass if that is what you are looking for. Connects and pairs very easily to numerous bluetooth products. Its made of waterproof material that according to the insert is native to Japan for some fun fact info. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack so you could hard wire to a device if you wanted. Overall I'm pretty happy with the quality of sound and portability of this speaker. The micro usb charging cable is rather short but not worth knocking a star. Arrived with a 70% charge which is nice supposedly lasts for up to 24 hrs of music listening can't confirm this yet.

Excellent comfort and sound

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked these up after having used some sony bluetooth bluetooth ear buds connected by a cord which I found annoying. These however are amazing. I love the simplicity and the fit can be customized for whatever size ears you might have. They carry a hefty price tag at $219.99 but I'm not sorry I purchased them. I can pair them with my pc and i phone and 6 more devices but can only use one stream at a time. I haven't fully tested battery life but the easy charge carry case is great and very pocket sized. If you want a truly wireless option then do yourself a favor and grab these.

Bluetooth and good sound
on March 8, 2018
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
My first pair of bluetooth ear buds, overall good sound quality. Easy to setup out of the box with a full illustrated setup guide but would have preferred something with words. Buds seem to fit weird in my ears they come with medium or small ear bud covers both don't really sit well in my ears my only real complaint. Paired with my pc or phone very easily.
Other than the fit in my ears I'm satisfied with this product.

Great Cordless Vacuum
on March 3, 2018
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
This thing can really suck up the dirt. It has three speed settings and depending on which setting the battery lasts up to 60 minutes on a full charge. I find this thing is great for doing stairs and spot vacuuming (read cats and litter everywhere).
My only complaint is the small canister that fills up very quickly so plan on making several trips to the trash can to empty it if you are doing some whole house cleaning. It is very lightweight so carry it up and down stairs is no issue as far as im concerned. I don't want to throw away my main hoover wind tunnel vacuum but I have yet to turn it on since I got this.
Needs a few hours to full charge once you get it. Some small assembly required easy to read instructions. Charger comes with mounting screws to mount to wall for easy hanging, drilled a couple holes and screwed right in no issues. Nice job Dyson would like to see a bigger canister in the feature.

Good Security
on January 12, 2018
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
This is always my go to program for removing malware from my pc's. Usually I use the free program but decided to try out the license version. Gives you 1 yr license for up to 3 different pc's to protect. Upgrading free to paid was simple enough to type in the license code (the only thing actually in the box you get) and I get live scanning protection. If you want some peace of mind while you and your family browse online can't go wrong here.

Installation was plug in the usb receiver and go. Comes with a wired usb extension cable if you want to route the receiver somewhere special. Several dpi settings if you are a fps person. Two side buttons, grip feels firm and nice. Can also be used via bluetooth if you choose (I'm using the usb receiver route.) Overall very happy with this mouse and it will continue to be main go to for now. 2xAA batteries which were included.

Disappointed by HP
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
I found this laptop to be not as great as I was expecting. The first thing I did was reformat the hdd because all the bloatware and oem version of windows provided by hp. Laptop does have 16 gb ddr4 but you wouldn't know by how slow it is loading up, mainly due to the fact there is no ssd. 1tb mechanical drive is fine for storage but come on hp ssd is mandatory for os nowadays. Touch screen is function and the 2 in 1 style is novelty at best. I got this for my wife and it suits her fine but no way I would consider this for myself for a main laptop. I also own a chromebook and much prefer it to this from a speed standpoint. I7 is only a dual core processor and it really shows its age in a time of quad core and six core processors.
For the price I would pass on this one.

Perfect for light web browsing only
on October 14, 2017
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
I love how fast this thing boots up and how light it feels in weight. I feel like this would be the perfect traveling companion for checking email and web browsing.
The Chrome OS is quite limited in what you can do but you can expand past just web browsing with the google play store. If you want a light traveling companion for keeping up on the news and your email and watching some you tube videos this thing is nice.
Battery life is much better than a standard laptop as well since a lot of the functionality is stripped away that would normally drain it.
The screen is full HD 1920x1080 and looks nice.
I hope this review helps you decide if this is the right choice for you or not.

Easy Storage Solution for Home Network
on September 14, 2017
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
Setting this up was a breeze just plug it in and connect the included Ethernet cable from cloud drive to an empty router port. Head to the website provided in documentation and register an account and your device. Was up and running in 5-10 minutes with easy access to 2tb of storage via my home network.
The software that you download to manage it will even let you install a plex server into it if thats your intended usage for it.
I find the price a bit much but you are paying for the convenience of having the storage hooked up directly to the router as opposed to doing some of the work yourself.
I have several external drives on my home setup shared among many PC's so the $50 or more charge for this cloud drive seems a bit much for something I can already do myself.
If you want something easy and simple to have some shared storage on your home network pick this up.

Good Remote for multi device home
on August 23, 2017
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
This remote fell a little short of my expectations. I was super excited to try one of these with a lcd screen but the functionality wasn't really there.
The installation process was a real pain I had to restart the program on my pc several times because it would freeze or it was not clear if/when you should plug in the remote with included usb cable.
I have the remote set up with my sony 4k tv and my xbox one. If you use the xbox as a media center, this remote works well. I can also use the remote to navigate some of my tv's menus using the lcd screen. When I compare this to the remote to my tv most of the time I reach for my original remote.
If I had a cable box, roku, apple tv etc I can see where unifying everything under one remote would be useful but in my situation I was unimpressed.

Overview says console but does it really work with a ps4 pro

Yes it would work fine with a ps4 pro, its a usb drive it would be limited by the usb 3 port on your ps4 pro but you would gain some loading time over the drive that ships with the ps4 pro.

Get peace and quiet anywhere with these Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds. An advanced HD noise-cancelling processor blocks distracting background noise so you can focus in noisy environments, and Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy use with smartphones and other devices. These Sony truly wireless noise-cancelling earbuds include a convenient charging case that offers up to 24 hours of use per charge.
 

How comfortable are they? Do they feel like they're going to fall out with rigorous exercise (running) or do they have a secure fit a majority of the time?

They do not feel secure to me and I tried several of the ear tip sizes. One of the major complaints in my review was that when walking/running they don't feel secure.

Enjoy hours of reliability and speed with this HP Pavilion desktop. Its AMD Ryzen 5 processor and 12GB of RAM let you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, and its 1TB hard drive provides plenty of space for file storage. This HP Pavilion desktop comes with a wired keyboard and mouse for interacting with Windows 10 Home.
 

how long has this been on the market I cant find any reviews any where I bought it because it sounds good on the inside and the last HP Pavillion I bought in 2011 is still running mostly good but I am preparing for needing a new 1

New to the market maybe a month or so. Short version of my review is if you just want to use this for checking email typing up documents and browsing web you will be ok. Don't expect any kind of gaming or 4k movie watching on this. Even just using it as a workstation feels somewhat slow with the 1tb mechanical drive. Add a SSD and it will be a speedy machine for you.

Graphics card? Dedicated or integrated? Does it have it's own Vram? Or shares the 12GB system ram?

Integrated graphics not usable on anything but the likes of esport/minecraft games. 1gb vram.

Power your custom-built computer with this CORSAIR power supply. It's built for efficient operation, so it saves energy and doesn’t produce much heat, and it operates quietly at slow and medium speeds for a better work environment. The modular cable system of this CORSAIR power supply provides easy, clutter-free installation in compatible ATX desktop cases.
 

Is the upgrade from a corsair cx600 to a cx650 plug and play with no changes to connections?

Never re use the ac power plug between power supplies you can and will fry your psu mobo/cpu and maybe more. Only ever use the cable included with each psu.
