Many new laptops now come without an optical drive built-in, and that’s fine if you no longer have a need to play music or movies from DVDs, install software that’s distributed on discs, or back up your data onto blank writable DVDs.

But what if you still need access to an optical drive on occasion?

The easiest way to solve this problem is to purchase an inexpensive external USB optical drive. Just like external USB hard drives, these drives simply plug into an open USB port, allowing you to do everything you could do with an internal optical drive without the burden of the extra weight.

I recently had the opportunity to check out the Pawtec External USB 3.0 Aluminum 8X DVD-RW Optical Drive (#ad), and I really like it. [Read more…]

Review: Dell XPS9360-7758SLV-PUS 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop

Posted on December 8, 2018

Most laptops used to be weak, watered down PCs that sacrificed power for portability, but that’s no longer the case.

Today’s modern laptop and notebook computers are plenty powerful enough to do most anything that even the fastest desktop PCs can do.

Even as laptops get more powerful by the day, they are also getting thinner and lighter, making them easier than ever to take along with you as you travel for work or pleasure.

The Dell XPS9360-7758SLV-PUS 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop (#ad) is a perfect example. Even though it’s strikingly thin, measures just 15×12 inches and weighs less than 3 pounds, this machine has all the power that one might need in a laptop. Check out these awesome specs: [Read more…]

Truth be told, most everyone fantasizes about earning a good living from the comfort of their own home at one time or another.

The fact is, it is entirely possible to do just that, but there are so many scammers out there claiming to offer legitimate work from home opportunities that the many real work at home opportunities get lost in the clutter. [Read more…]

Review: RAVPower 3-Port 30W USB Travel Charger

Posted on November 5, 2018

We all seem to have multiple portable devices these days, and keeping them all charged up and ready to use can be a challenge. And if you travel often it can be even more difficult.

That’s why always having a good portable wall charger on hand is a must.

The RAVPower 3-Port 30W USB Travel Charger (#ad) is one of the handiest chargers I have ever used. It’s small enough to easily carry it around in a pants pocket, yet it supplies a respectable 30 watts of charging power to up to two devices. [Read more…]

Review: Avast Mobile Security for your Android phone or tablet

Posted on October 19, 2018

I’ve been recommending the free version of Avast Antivirus to keep your PC free of malware for some time now because it does a better job at keeping your data and identity safe from hackers and scammers than most other “paid” alternatives, and it won’t slow your system down.

You’re probably aware that mobile devices have have their own security issues, and that’s why I’ve been using (and recommending) an excellent free security app called Lookout Mobile Security.
