Review: Azio Large Print Tri-Color Backlit Wired Keyboard

Posted on October 16, 2018

If you’re like me and your eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be, you might be interested in hearing about a large print backlit keyboard that I recently received for review.

It’s the Azio Large Print Tri-Color Backlit Wired Keyboard, and I really like it.

This wired USB keyboard has over-sized, backlit letters that are extremely easy to see, even when you’re sitting in total darkness. That makes it great for night owls who enjoy using their computer while their significant other sleeps nearby in a darkened bedroom.

Since it’s currently selling for less than $30 on Amazon, I didn’t know what to expect from this keyboard in terms of quality, but after plugging it in and trying it out, I can tell you that it seems to be well-built. [Read more…]

Review: Brother HL-L2350DW Monochrome Laser Printer

Posted on October 6, 2018

There was a time when even a basic laser printer cost a small fortune, but that’s no longer the case. You can now easily buy a good monochrome laser printer for less than what you’d pay for a quality inkjet.

I’ve been researching what’s available in laser printers recently, and I found an excellent model from Brother that will do a great job in any home, office or even a dorm room.

It’s the Brother HL-L2350DW Monochrome Laser Printer, and it packs a lot of power and utility into a small package. And best of all, right now Amazon has it for about $100.

Review: Metro ED500 DataVac Electric Blower Duster

Posted on September 27, 2018

I have written several posts explaining why it’s important to keep the dust blown out of your computer, so I won’t rehash the reasons here.

There are several safe options for removing dust from a computer’s innards, including the tried and true method of wielding a can of compressed air.

Just be sure to never use air compressor for the reasons mentioned in this post.

In the past I have always preferred using a “data vac” since cans of compressed air are so expensive, but I’m happy to announce that I’ve found something I like a lot better.

I recently received a Metro ED500 DataVac Electric Blower Duster for review and I found that I like it even better than my trusty data vac. [Read more…]

Review: Lenovo ThinkCentre M710e Business Desktop Computer

Posted on September 20, 2018

It seems that most computers on the market these days are either general purpose computers or gaming PCs.

But did you know there’s still a thriving market for business-oriented computers?

The typical business PC is something of a cross between general purpose machines and gaming rigs.

Business computers need a hefty amount of processing power and RAM but they don’t really need a powerful graphics card like a gaming PC.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M710e Business Desktop PC hits that sweet spot quite well. Take a quick look at these specs: [Read more…]
