HP ENVY 6-1010us Sleekbook 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) Review

I am no tecno geek and my needs are relatively simple when it comes to computing so this laptop fits my lifestyle perfectly. I had no problem setting the Envy 6 up to begin using it. It was ready to go in seconds with its built in wifi. I've used the same Dell XPS for about three years, so this laptop is a welcome addition. It's super lightweight and very thin, not bulky or uncomfortable at all. Compared to my other computer, the Envy 6 is super comfortable to use. I think it would be perfect for students and seniors due to the ease of transport, battery life, and ease of operation and because it is so lightweight. I have been using Windows Vista for several years now so using Windows 7 on this notebook is so much nicer, Vista could be a pain, but I've had no problems with the operating system on this notebook and it has a lot of helpful advice to make using it easier and functional. There is no CD option on this version of the Envy Sleekbook, but it hooks up easily to an external CD drive to install programs or watch movies. The resolution and picture on the Envy is wonderful, after looking at this screen and going back to my Dell was suprising to me. The graphics on the Envy are crisp and colorful. The Envy also has bluetooth/wireless so it can be used with other wireless items like printers and phones.

The Envy also has some great features for pictures. It uses Youcam webcam software and it has a lot of fun options for pictures. My kids have been having a lot of fun using it. There are enough fun things on Youcam to keep them amused for long periods of time, even in low light. When I downloaded pictures from my SD card, the computer separated the pictures by date so I could make different albums vs. lumping them altogether and the software also uses face recognition which is a really cool feature.

The Envy surfs the internet with good speed even while playing music and having multiple windows open. The Beats audio is a really nice feature and the sleekbook comes with the standard jack for headphones. Beats audio adds a little extra touch and makes this laptop a little more jazzy and appealing, especially to kids.

My Dell laptop, gets really hot after an half an hour or so of use so I have it on a cooling pad, but it still gets too hot to use after being on it for a while, especially in the heat of the summertime. The Envy stays nice and cool while in use. I've not experienced it getting hot or over heating even after hours of constant use in hot temperatures, it gets a little bit (ever so slightly) warm but doesn't ever feel really hot. The Envy has a nice black finish instead of just aluminum which I really like.

The keyboard is also great. This version doesn't have a backlight for night use, but the keyboard is easy to use with no major clicking noise. It's quiet and comfortable. The trackpad responds great and has a pretty wide pad for navigation, at times it does take more than one click to bring something up, but this is nothing major.

Many of the games on the Envy are linked to an external gaming company, Wild Tangent and they offer free playtime with options to buy the games. The graphics and speed of the games has been really good. I haven't loaded anything like the Sims on this sleekbook as I had trouble with The Sims on my Dell, so I don't know if I will ever do that, but for seek and find games, card games and the like, this works great. I am not sure I would load it up with a lot of high graphic games as it's not really a gaming laptop but a few games would probably work just fine, just not something huge, it would probably work, but slow the unit down.

The Envy also comes with a start up Office version with options to buy the full version. I find that I usually only use Word so this is just fine for me, but for those who rely on Power Point and other programs, an upgrade is easily available, there are also easy options to use to upgrade to any Windows program or add-on you'd like to have. Instant downloads make this super easy, and the computer offers different things to you as you work. The unit is quite intuitive without being annoying.

All in all, I really like this sleekbook laptop. It's been super reliable so far with no issues. It's basic which would make it wonderful for students to do homework and surf the internet as well as for seniors who don't need a lot of bells or whistles and hot graphics on their games. This is a nice basic notebook that is super easy to use with great sound and graphics as long as you don't over load it. It's stylish and is black with a red bottom. The Envy 6 is very thin and super lightweight for easy transport. Even business people should find that this is a great notebook for travel and home use. For a low cost laptop, it's great. I paid quite a bit for my Dell and this hp seems to do everything it did without the issues I've had with it and Windows Vista. For an inexpensive laptop, I would recommend this unit for students, seniors, travellers or people who don't need a ton of extra features. It's simple and works really well without over heating or feeling cumbersome. I've had no problems with it for what I use it for which is pictures, music, e mail, typing documents, playing games and accessing the internet. Norton is included free for one month for virus prevention. For a less expensive unit, it still feels like a quality laptop, it's not made cheaply, the Envy is actually very pretty and isn't thrown together where you feel like if the wind blew something will fall off or break. The 15 inch screen is large enough for a quality picture and the graphics are really good.

Netflix also works very well streaming movies on this notebook. The picture is great and Beats provides exceptional sound-no problems whatsoever.

This is a nice solid notebook that is easy to use and looks great. I am growing fonder by the day. If I run across any problems I will be sure to update, but so far, I am very happy with the overall performance of the Envy 6-1010.

UPDATE: 9/10/12-I've installed Sims 3 using a plug and play DVD/DVD rewritable drive and I am very happy to say that Sims 3 works great on this laptop! I was actually afraid to try it but thought what the heck? I can delete the game. But, to my amazement, Sims 3 with one expansion pack even, works great on this laptop. This is just a great machine!

*****Nine months later, this machine is still working well with no problems. I have had to replace the charging cord twice because the wiring inside shorted out by getting bent or by stepping on the cord and once it fell off the bed onto the side plug, so it's my fault about the cord. They've redesigned these cords to turn to the side now instead of sticking straight out where they had a tendancy to get hit or bent. Machine is still very good and I've never had any problem with it and it's almost been a year of ownership.

QNIX QX2710 LED Evolution ll 27" 27 inch 2560x1440 Samsung PLS (LG IPS) Glossy Screen Panel PC Monitor Review

I have always been a user of the typical TN panel ranging from all types of sizes. My previous display was an Asus model which had a very fast refresh rate of 2ms alongside unnoticeable input lag. I did find myself trying to calibrate the monitor to look at least nearly as good as my Samsung HDTV, but that was impossible. Colors either became over saturated or unnatural in tone. Also there was a sort of slight distortion to the image caused by the coating on the panel. I then began to just suck it up and realize this monitor is simply not engineered for color accuracy and clarity, but rather for hardcore gamers who need the insane response times. Later on, I upgraded to the Dell S2740L. This is a 1080p IPS monitor that immediately struck me with its level of clarity and color accuracy that was before me thanks to IPS technology. Unfortunately, at 27" along with the typical viewing distance of a PC monitor, the image really didn't have that crisp and sharp look that my Asus gave me. It was until I sat unnaturally far back that the 1080p resolution was fine. The keyboard and mouse then became out of reach...

So my search continued and I stumbled upon 1440p 27" monitors. Then I came across this craze of Korean based monitors utilizing panels found in far more expensive units that were simply not 100% quality assured. Skeptic, I did my research and read, read, and read until my eyes bled. Then I did it; I clicked "confirm purchase". Amazingly, the monitor took just 1 day to arrive to my house from Korea, which 'till this day, I don't know how on Earth that was possible especially since the shipping was free. The packaging was pretty straight forward providing the monitor with adequate protection to insure it won't arrive as useful as a broom stick.

Then I plugged it in and turned on my desktop... How is this $329? The image quality was absolutely jaw dropping. The image was crisp and sharp thanks to the higher PPI. No over saturation of colors or gamma deterioration. Everything just had a sense of depth and smoothness that I can only describe as looking through a window toward what lies beyond. I then attempted to overclock the monitor's refresh rate and push it to 120Hz which was a successful procedure, but I ended up going back to 60Hz because the quality degradation though not significant deterred me away. Once again, I cannot stress the level of clarity and sense of realism this monitor provides. These panels use Samsung's PLS technology which by their word, gives a better color reproduction than IPS. Compared to my Dell S2740L, the Qnix is a bit better in color accuracy and saturation levels. Overall, it's alot better especially due to the higher PPI. The build quality for this monitor is average. The panel is enclosed in a sort of generic case that doesn't look bad nor spectacular. In terms of aesthetics, the Dell wins here easily. The connections on this monitor is highly limited with only a DC in from the power brick, dual link DVI in from your GPU and a 3.5mm input to power the abomination that is inside this monitor. Oh wait, they call them speakers? The stand is also a bit unsecure and the monitor does wobble or tilt easily if the surface that it resides upon is bumped. The main thing that really sets the panel that is found in these Korean monitors aside from the ones found in a Dell, Apple, Samsung, etc... is the amount of dead pixels and/or the level of screen uniformity with back light bleeding. There are sellers (primarily on eBay) that guarantees a pixel perfect display with a extra fee, but I'm not sure if they can guarantee a back light bleed free display. My display has a slight leakage of back light on the typical bottom left side of the screen that really only shows it self on completely black images. In terms of dead pixels, I have only one that I forgot where it was.

In conclusion, this monitor is well worth its asking price and will provide a whole new experience to your personal computing. Just make sure your GPU has either a dual link DVI-I or DVD-D connection. DVI-I simply means both analog and digital can be transported through the connection and DVI-D means that only digital can be transported. Single link DVI-D or DVI-I will NOT work with this monitor.

Pro's:

- Amazing picture quality
- Bang For Buck is through the roof
- Can be pushed to 96-120Hz quite easily ( picture quality does suffer )
- VESA mount capable
- 27 inches of Quad HD goodness
- Did I mention amazing picture quality?

Con's:

- May get a monitor with excessive back light bleeding or high amounts of dead pixels if you don't narrow down good sellers.
- Warranty experience may be a nightmare ( oversea shipping )
- Horrible internal speakers
- Limited connections ( no gaming consoles allowed, period )

Lorex 16 Channel ECO4 Stratus 960H DVR Security System with 2TB HDD and 13 700TVL Camera Review

I purchased this product from Costco about a month ago. It's easy to setup and when it works it's a fantastic. The problem arises when viewing the camera's remotely. About once a week, I was completely unable to connect to the device remotely either from a PC or using my iPhone app. The problem solves itself when I manually switch the power on and off from the physical DVR. So if you happen to be viewing from afar and have a connection problem then you're out of luck.

Secondly, LOREX's phone customer service took about 1.5 hours to connect. Also, if you're trying to reset your password, it'll may take as little as 1 minute to as long as 2 hours to receive your temporary password. On some occasions, the password doesn't work if you send multiple requests.
