samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus - review

Alright so we all heard about Samsung's "Series 9  laptops" and yes they really are awesome!

More and more people were turning away from the series 9 because of the lack of a touch screen but   Samsung has taken us all by surprise by adding one and improving the resolution exponentially (3,200 by 1,800) this is a truly great resolution for gaming. 

With the addition of a processor that does more and uses less this is truly a laptop I'm proud to own, the price is steep but worth it if this will be your next main pc. 

Way modern!

Good: awesome screen (touch), slim, light, great battery life (yes really).

Bad: not a tablet (so?), mini hdmi, expensive!

If you're fine with expensive get it!

Google Chromecast - review

Very compact.

Good: Very cheaply priced, available services include netflix, youtube, google music,  google tv and movies. Compact, you can use tablets as remotes, travel ready.

Bad: Screen mirroring doesn't work well, no default remote(big minus), no amazon instant, hbo go, mlb.tv, spotify or Rdio.

 At $35 it's cheap, compact and I'm sure Google will make it better soon or release a better version soon.

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 - review

Great price!

 
Good: very fast and faster still when used with the web, the screen is 1080p but it's rather small so you won't notice the difference much, light, compact.

Bad: ad removal for the remote view is $15, remote viewing feature needs a lot of work, not enough space for full 1080p movies and no sd card slot, buttons are harder to use then on most tablets, the screen is slightly yellow (I don't think you'll notice it), no google play store so you're limited in the app department.

Being linked to amazon this much is a very useful thing for ebook lovers. I'm sure you can wait till the next version or buy this one it's worth the price.

Origin Chronos - review

Love it!
 
Good: overclocked, tidy package, built for gaming.

Bad: bad for gamers that like multiple monitors.

 
If you use your computer for gaming like me then this is the computer for you, even with the price tag.

Bose quiet comfort 15 - review

Best headphones ever!

The good:  Very comfortable, great sound, noise cancelling is out of this world,, folding system in place and you can try them for 30 days risk free!

The bad: Very pricy,  do not work without battery!,  no in line volume control on these headphones.


They are expensive but totally worth every penny!  I don't think you'll regret buying them, and you can spend the leftover dollar on a pack of gum!

Great for the price.

Good: Big screen, modern look, good color, speakers, sharp picture, three year warranty, light, easy assembly/ disassembly, nice menu, great software, hdmi, vga, audio in/ out.

Bad: Screen seems dark.  But compared to other screens it's very bright.

LatLock E70 Running Backpack - review

Positive review for ruggedness, design, and so forth and so on...

I've had this pack for over a year now and I can tell you it's my number one pack and number two possession (the first one being my wallet).

My favorite feature in the lat-lock is it's expandibility, from a slim travel bag to a bug-out bag, it's a truly great feature!

The constriction strapps are just as great,  keeping everything from shifting and moving they are one of the most important elements of this high tec pack.

After traveling through four countries the only thing that looks damaged (not really but it looks like it) is the back inside lip just below the zipper.  The lip's material below the zipper started seperating into strips but that just takes away from it's looks inside (not it's workings).

Overall great backpack! I would recommend it to anyone doing PK,  running or just in need of a great pack!
