Reason for purchase I have an Alienware Alpha, which very well may be a review in its own right. I was using a Logitech MK710 keyboard and M705 ‘Marathon Mouse’, which is a great combo but for what I needed it was just a little bulky. I use my Alpha for very light gaming (City Skylines, Southpark, Hacknet), and it is my Plex Media Server. So I didn’t need anything fancy so when I walked passed this keyboard with trackpad for $20 I figured what the hell I may as well give it a shot, what do I have to lose right? Connecting and Use As with pretty much anything Logitech nowdays it was really simple. I plugged in the USB adapter and let Windows do its thing, I don’t think it too much more than about a minute to download and install the drivers. At first I absolutely loved the thing mostly because of its size, I mean this keyboard has virtually no weight to it at all. Now that’s the same reason why I’m not in love with it. The up arrow and shift key are right next to each other, wh...

Surface Pro 2 I know the Pro 2 is fairly old and the Surface Book is out. This is a general review of the Surface line in general. I won’t be going over the specs too much, suffice it to say it has the specs to handle just about anything you can throw at it. I wouldn’t use it for very graphic intensive work, but if you aren’t a graphic designer or the sort, this should be able to handle what you got. Laptop When my job said I could use a Surface Pro 2 for an indefinite amount of time I was pretty stoked. I’m a nerd and when anyone says ‘here use this, have fun’ dammit I’m gonna. Right now I’m writing this review on a Lenovo X250, it’s one of those fancy ultrabooks of the 12” variety, sitting in my recliner. I wanted to point out that I’m in my recliner for a reason, this is where I am usually on my computer when I’m at home. I don’t have a desktop so I rely on my laptops for just about everything (yes I said laptops, plural lol). The Surface while it is marketed as a ‘...

Shark Vacuum Purchase Decision We decided to purchase this vacuum when our Dyson quit on us. I’m not 100% sure which model Dyson we had, all I know is it was a yellow rollerball one. When we bought the Dyson we were very impressed. It actually picked up dirt that our previous vacuum had left behind. We wanted another Dyson but they are so expensive we thought about other options. We couldn’t buy a cheap ‘Walmart’ vacuum because my wife has really long hair and they generally only last us a few months due to her hair getting tangled up in the roller brush. A friend of mine very highly suggested a Shark so after about a week of researching we finally decided on the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Upright . This is my review of said vacuum. ‘Minor assembly required’ My wife had to run to the store so she took the kid and left the Man at home to put together their new vacuum. Unboxing was a fairly easy affair, everything was packaged nicely and there were these strang...
