Lenovo Yoga 12

What’s in the box The packaging is fairly simple, but very protective. In box was the laptop, power adapter, and a small little warranty info paper. You know, I miss the days when recovery discs were included when you got a new computer. How many of you would pay an extra $5-$10 for some recovery media to be included with a new computer? Build This little guy is sleek. Very thin and solid, with some caveats I suppose. While it does feel very solidly built, it also feels pretty heavy for a 2-in-1, this isn’t something I would want to use 1 handed for an extended period of time. In the same breath I don’t suspect this will get broken to easily. This particular Yoga I’m using was made for business applications so on one side you will find the charge port, which has a rubber cover on the port attached to it that is for the docking station. There is also a headset jack and USB 3 port on the same side. On the other side you will find a Mini HDMI, USB 3, SD Card port, a button to loc

Slickwraps vinyl 'skin'

What’s in the box These guys obviously know how to package their skin so it doesn’t get damaged on its way to you. Inside the box was the Slickwraps branded box that had the skin in it. Mine was for the Note 5 and it came with; a full size back piece, a smaller piece for the camera, an even smaller piece for the flash/heart sensor, a piece for each side, top and bottom, a little guy for the tip of the S-pen, and a piece for the home button. There was also what looked to be a sticker to take the lint off your screen and a small microfiber cloth. First thoughts I’ll be honest when I first purchased the skin I was a bit worried because it was described as being glossy, and I was afraid it would be a fingerprint magnet and I would end up either taking it off or covering it up with a case. I am happy to say I’ve had the skin on all day and not one fingerprint, even better it does provide a better grip on the slippery ass Note 5 than just the naked phone. Anyone that has a newer Gal

Update 05/26/16

Just a quick update for everyone. I'm honestly not working on a whole lot right now. I will be doing a review of a Lenovo Yoga 12 soon. That is actually the computer I'm using at the moment to write this on. Outside of that I don't have a lot going on unfortunately. I probably won't be buying a lot of stuff for the time being so if I go too long between reviews I might just do a few random ones. Like my PS4 and Xbox One, Dish Network, the SportClips experience, things like that. If there's any of those you would like to see please let me know. I will be working on the Lenovo review tonight and tomorrow. Depending how far I get on it hopefully I can get it posted by tomorrow sometime. A huge thank you to everyone that does read these, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. Just so you know I don't get paid to do these reviews and I haven't received any of the products I've reviewed for free. I have actually bought everything that I have reviewed, I

EA Access

Introduction For those that don’t know EA Access is a subscription service from EA available only on the Xbox One console. It’s 4.99/mo. or 29.99/year and gives you ‘access’ (haha….I’m stupid) to a handful of EA games. There’s the ‘Play First’ games which give you the ability to play select new EA games before they are actually released. Honest to God complete games, not some 1 hour or first level play crap, you actually get to play the whole game. Once your time is up you can actually decide to pay for the game, and you get to keep all your saves and in game items you have acquired. Then there is the ‘Vault’ which lets you download a specific collection of games to your console and play them to your hearts content. For the price they are charging, EA would really have to screw this up to make it not worth it, but that’s what I’m here for. Should you spend the 5 or 30 bucks? Or should you just save your money and pick up a game or two at your local pawn shop? Let’s find out Pl
