No frills mouse for basic computing use. Two side basic buttons nothing fancy here. There is an optional program to adjust buttons and dpi further. Being a gamer and using Logitech equipment I find it slightly annoying they've launched another piece of software to configure this mouse which is different from the gaming software. Why reinvent wheel Logitech and make us keep several programs that all do the same thing? Mouse is lightweight but the size was too small for my hands, YMMV. You get what you see with this mouse, dongle, runs off a single AA battery. If you just need something to get you buy and you have small hands this is a good choice for you, if you want something other than basic step up your price point a bit and look at some of the higher end logitech.

Packaging very simple and frustration free, earbuds case two cables. Usb-c to a for charging and usb-a to 3.5mm to connect the earbuds to a device without bluetooth. This optional connecting is really cool with one downside, it's audio only so you can't use it to talk and listen. But if you have an old TV or something this would be perfect for quiet time at night.
Sound is solid, fit is ok you get three sizes of standard tips. They never felt snug to me but I prefer earhooks personally for stability. There's an app LG Tone that really brings these to life and customization highly recommend but not required. These seemed loud and when I cranked up the tunes I could really immerse myself into the music. Battery life was great and you talking 24 hrs+ between earbud and charging case time. Charging them up is fast although the cord is pretty short. They have a UV light that supposedly kills most of the ear germs but I can't really speak to it without being a scientist with a microscope.
I wouldn't choose these over competitor brands if you aren't interested in the 3.5mm to usb functionality. Other than the UV light killing germ feature that's the only thing that really gives these an identity of their own. I was disappointed that you couldn't use the 3.5mm connection as a fully functioning headset but in fairness the manual makes this very clear.
If you want them for utility go for it, if you just want the best sounding earbuds for the price range I think you can do better.

HP all in one printer and scanner combo lets go. Unpacking this thing starts out annoying because they over packed it with a lot of cardboard and corner guards that seem un necessary. They also have hidden cardboard inside the thing which really feels like overkill and I guarantee you will miss it the first time.
Setup requires an app on android or ios. You do get 6 months of free ink with HP+ which is advertised but I won't get into whether this is a good value or not because it's based entirely on how much you print on a monthly basis. However, for 6 months it doesn't matter and it's free so enjoy it.
One of the reasons I chose this product was the ability to print pictures along with normal documents. This printer will do that but I found the paper tray to be very finicky about the kind of paper it detects. Several times I was given error's that the wrong paper was inserted when it wasn't the wrong paper, the sensor was just unhappy and after reshuffling it, printer would start. It also likes to spit out random pieces of paper randomly no idea what that's about. I did update the firmware day 1 so it's not an update issue unless they have yet to address it.
Quality is spot on and great, pictures look amazing and so do documents. It does have a quiet mode for paper documents only it does not work for photos. Scanning is simple as expected. It has a nice touch panel lcd screen to go through everything on and it felt nice and responsive.
Overall I'm not in love with it but it works with some bugs. I really feel they over engineered this from the packing to it's functionality, hoping future updates address the issues I've had and it will increase my opinion of it.

Cute replacement for an old digital alarm clock
on November 21, 2021
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
Packaging is simple and frustration free. Clock, power cord w/adapter and manual. You do have to download the google home app on your phone to setup, no way to skip this unless I missed it. Takes about 5-10 min to download and install updates then you are up and running. The screen looks good and is customize able with what you want to display on it. You can also use the google assistant to play music and do a myriad of other tasks. The microphone and volume can be disabled if you just want a fancy alarm clock for your bedroom. I found the maximum brightness under whelming and still felt too dim but this might be a personal preference. I also noticed a bug if you unplug it and plug it back in it will not auto power on you have to flip the toggle switch in the back to off and then back on again.
You can also arrange the face of the clock to show weather, personal photos and a few other options depending on what you are looking for. The size compared to the picture feels a bit smaller than what I was expecting but that's just a perception thing. Overall it feels priced right with the MSRP and overall happy with it but it's not quite 5 star worthy with the power on bug and max brightness for me.
Still solid purchase for yourself or a gift for a tech savvy friend/family member.

True wireless noise cancelling Beats Fit Pro with comfortable, secure-fit wingtips are engineered for all-day activity. The flexible wingtip design conforms to your ear to comfortably lock in place so you can experience powerful, balanced sound during your work day or your workouts. With two distinct listening modes, you are in control of what you hear. Fully adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) uses real-time audio calibration to continuously pinpoint external sounds and optimize sound output, and when you need to be aware of your surroundings, easily switch to Transparency mode. Beats Fit Pro supports Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for immersive music, movies, and games.¹ These earbuds are powered by the Apple H1 chip. The result — instant one-touch pairing², Automatic Switching³, Audio Sharing⁵, and hands-free “Hey Siri”⁴ for Apple devices. For Android users, easily connect via Class 1 Bluetooth® right out of the box. With the Beats app for Android¹¹, you’ll get enhanced features like one-touch pairing, customized controls, battery levels, firmware updates, and a Fit Test to help you get the best sound and fit out of your earbuds. Each earbud has up to 6 hours of listening time⁶ with 18 additional hours⁷ provided by its matching, pocket-sized charging case to give you up to 24 hours of combined playback.

Box is small and neatly packed. Inside you are getting case, 3 sets of eartips in varying sizes, very short usb charging cable. Pairing is easy leave them in the case and hold the button inside to put into pairing mode. There is no app for Ios only Android. The buttons can not be customized, there is no volume control on the earbuds themselves. Noise cancelling and transparency mode work pretty well and are activated by a long press on either earbud. For the price I really expected more from these such as volume control on the earbuds and a customizable app for Ios. Battery life is superb and if you just want some good sounding earbuds and don't mind simplified controls these will prob work out fine for you, but as an enthusiast your money can be better spent for a superior product elsewhere.

Next-level versatility comes in the perfect pair — Surface Slim Pen 2 stores securely and recharges in the premium keyboard, featuring a large glass touchpad and luxurious, Alcantara material covering. Ready to pair with Surface Pro 9, Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro X.*

This new surface pro keyboard and stylus are an optional extra purchase but if you want the most out of your surface pro you need it. The stylus charges right on the keyboard in a slot. The connection between the keyboard and tablet is really slick with a magnetic slot. I found switching between tablet and keyboard docked to be very quick and easy. The stylus worked well with no complaints and seemed to have no issues charging in the provided dock on the keyboard. Keyboard feels good, touch pad is no frills but fully functional and accurate. Shame you have to pay so much extra for it but really if you already dropped the money for a surface book pro, you aren't batting an eye at this. Get it.

Unlock more possibilities than ever with the Pro designed for a Pro like you. The first consumer laptop-to-tablet PC designed on the Intel Evo platform⁹ and designed to light up the best of Windows 11, Surface Pro 8 combines the power of a laptop with the flexibility of a tablet, and every angle in between. Do great things with a larger 13” touchscreen, faster connections with Thunderbolt 4 ports, and extra speed when you need it.

Packaging is simple surfacebook, charger in frustration free packaging. Came with a decent charge to finish setup which took about 30 minutes. Windows 11 is take it or leave it personally but it's not bad overall. The surface book is snappy going from laptop to tablet mode but keep in mind you are only getting a tablet unless you buy the option attachable keyboard. Overall its light weight and easy to use. You are only getting 2 usb-c ports anything beyond that will require hubs and adapters. Battery life is pretty great considering the power you are getting on this thing. Highly recommend if you need to get some work done and want to do it the best way possible.

Comes in a box with downloadable code for newest battlefield. Installation is simple if you know what you are doing, be warned doesn't include a heatsink or a mounting screw that will have to come with your mobo. Once I installed it, I did a fresh install of windows 11 which went flawlessly. Speeds are incredibly fast as a gaming drive or main os drive. Backwards compatible in a gen 3 port as well. This can also be installed in a ps5 to increase your storage but I have it used in my gaming pc. Overall this is the ssd you want to add some more gaming storage to your PC or PS5.

Nice Digital Frame could have been perfect
on October 17, 2021
Posted by: mibeal
from Olean, NY
This frame is very nice looking and the screen is crisp and displays nicely. It comes fully assembled with power supply that needs to be plugged in. My only real major flaw I removed a star for is, they did not include any way to wall mount this. It is slanted so it won't stay on a screw or hook to hang, seems like a missed opportunity. Adding photos is done via an app on android or ios and simply sharing photos from your phone to the app. This is nice that you can add as many photos as you want and at least on ios it will display live photo's and play them as well. You can use the app to also edit how often the slides change in the app. Overall it is very nice and haven't had any issues other than the no wall mount option.

This is a cheaper alternative to the official apple magsafe wireless charger. You are capped at 7.5w charging power, official apple one will get you up to 15w with the proper usb-c wall plug. Knocked off a star because just like the apple charger nobody gives you a proper usb-c wall plug. I'd like to know who they think has a collection of usb-c wall plugs all over their house that they think they don't need to provide one.
The magnetic snaps to the phone through my case ok it's not overly strong but it does the trick. You won't get as much charging power so the apple one will get the job done faster but if you just want a cheaper slower option for overnight this will work just fine.
Overall it works as described but I'm disappointed that without a usb-c plug you have to go out and spend more money to just to use the product you just paid money for more.

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.
