Newest iRobot Roomba i7+ automatically empties its bin into an enclosed, disposable bag. The bag holds up to 30 Roomba bins, allowing you to forget about this cleaning chore for weeks.

The i7+ is highly recommended for people with pets. If you already own a Roomba and you have a pet, then you’ll probably know that the bins get filled pretty quickly with pet dander. Like other newer models, the i&+ also uses the iRobot HOME app that shows you where it has been cleaned, its current status, etc. It can be controlled with Alexa-enabled devices and Google Assistant.

The Ring Alarm system is definitely what it says it is, a smarter way to protect your property, effortless to install and customizable.

The price is affordable for the basic kit, it includes the base station which controls the system, the keypad to activate/deactivate the alarm, range extender, motion sensor and window/door sensor. Depending on how many windows and doors you want to monitor this will increase the overall cost of the alarm system but this is true for other alarm systems as well. Nevertheless, installing the sensors is very easy and well documented with easy to follow manuals and videos. Other than a screwdriver and drill, all you need to install the system is included in the box.

The keypad has a built-in battery which lasts months, therefore it can be placed on any wall or flat surface without having to deal with cables. In addition to activating/deactivating the alarm, it plays audible notifications like when a door opens or closes and it sounds when the alarm system is alarming. It also has a proximity and light sensor which highlights the keypad to facilitate enter your codes.

The window and door sensor are a bit big compared to other systems but they still look good and are easy to install.

The motion sensor is about “average” in size and can be placed on a corner or flat on the wall. The sensibility can be adjusted through the application to avoid false alarms.

The base station which is the center of the alarm system also has a built-in battery which lasts around 24 hours, keep in mind that it will run a full day with basic functionality on both battery or cellular backup in case you lose WiFi signal. Just as the keypad the base station also provides sound alerts, and the center ring glows blue with disarmed or red when armed.

Overall, the application/website makes the configuration easy for each sensor. The professionally monitored plan makes this system affordable and will also include cloud recording for any other ring security camera or ring doorbell that you may have on the same location, this is definitely a plus compared to other security systems.

I originally got this mouse because it has great DPI value (200 to 4000), so it comes very handy when you have high-resolution monitors, less hand movement to cover more desktop area. This mouse is great for work, each button can be customized and even customize buttons for specific applications. Customization will make your life easier and the “Logitech Options” software is very easy to use.

The battery is great, it lasts about 45 days on a single charge when used 8-9 hours work days. I only use it on a single computer but it can be paired with 3 devices, switching is easy with the button underneath.

The design is comfortable, it feels good on the hand and it hoovers softly on my mouse pad. I do feel like this mouse has reduced the stress on my wrist even though it is not the “Ergonomic” version of the mouse.

Overall I would highly recommend it for your office or work computer, it simplifies the workflow and allows you to multitask more efficiently.

LG – 38″ IPS LED UltraWide HD FreeSync Monitor Review https://tech4anything.com/lg-38-ips-led-ultrawide-hd-freesync-monitor-review/ Tue, 08 May 2018 04:10:08 +0000 https://tech4anything.com/?p=58 After falling in love with my LG 34” monitor (IPS LED Curved 34UC97), I decided to shop around for my next top of the line monitor for work.

After falling in love with my LG 34” monitor (IPS LED Curved 34UC97), I decided to shop around for my next top of the line monitor for work. I like the quality of LG displays and especially the Flicker-Safe technology they have, I can work a full day without feeling my eyesight strained by the display. I found the LG – 38″ IPS LED UltraWide HD FreeSync Monitor (38UC99-W) to be at the top of my list and decided to give it a try…. a decision I do not regret.

First of all the curved screen monitor looks gorgeous on my desk, I have to admit it does look kind of big but that is good.

Resolution is great at 3840 x 1600, this means a lot of real-estate on your desktop, Excel users can have up to 1-64 to A-BG sheets without scaling it down.

Setting it up and calibrating the screen is easy, as it has “on-screen” controls, which avoids the tedious menus with up and down arrows like on other monitors.

Connecting devices is easy as it comes with 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB 3.0, 1 DisplayPort, 1 audio port, 1 USB C to connect to the PC and Bluetooth connectivity to pair with your phone or tablet.

On the software side, it comes with a “Screen Split” software which allows you to set windows layouts for quick application arrangements. No more resizing screens, simply drag and drop to the highlighted area on your desktop and it will resize automatically per your default split-screen setting.

Speakers are not that good, they are definitely loud enough for office use but not for gaming or watching movies. Other than this and the price I would say this is the perfect monitor. Bottom line, this is an expensive monitor but it definitely boosts your productivity at work or enhances your gaming experience.
