personal reviews of items.

Post a review of something you have personal experience with and aren't getting paid to review.  Unpaid personal reviews and opinions only.

Fire HDX 10 tablet 2017.  I have one to replace a tablet with problems due to heavy long usage.  

Pros.  Excellent display. True HD resolution, extremely sharp.  Not a high end Ipad but few will notice.  Low cost,  as low as 150$. Decent sound.  No frills solid plastic build. 2gb system ram,  32 gb user ram. Can be boiugbt at. 64gb.

Meh.  It is first and foremost an Amazon device. It will ram Amazon down your throat. Comes with ad infested lock screens, not a real issue. Does not normally allow access to the far superior Google app market and comes bound to the pathetic Amazon apps market.  It takes about 10 minutes for a competent user to find an online work around and install it so not a problem.   Currently the devices durability is unknown due to it's newness.

The bad.  Cameras are pathetic and a waste.  A 2mp front camera couldn't take a good pic at high noon on a Clear day,  a sub mp camera the front isn't even good enough for causal video calls.  Should have replaced the front cam with the 2mp rear one and forgone a rear one at all,  them reduced cost 5-10$. Speakers do not face forward. WHY THE XXX CAN'T TABLET SPEAKERS FACE THE USER?!?! WHY?!?!?! it seems very hard to change the default apps permanently. The go. Keyboard I installed keeps going back to the pos keyboard it came with. Can't seem to get it to default to perfect viewer for image viewing.

All in all unless it has longevity issues I say it's worth the price,  warts and all. A case is essential so add it to the cost.

Something that funny should have a trigger warning, Trevor.

Okay I promised a review, didn't I?

The Macintosh SE, circa 1987 was one mighty little machine. My father bought his back in the late Reagan years and it still works, as does its internal (are you ready to be staggered?) 20 MB hard drive. Yes, folks, a whole 20 MB!

It came bundled with MacPaint, MacDraw, MacWrite, and all of the old programs still operate, including one that makes the sound of a Star Trek OS communicator opening. I used to click the mouse to make that sound about a hundred times an hour when I was little.

If the fact this original machine is still working fine with 100% original parts isn't an endorsement of Apple, I don't know what is. Of course to my dad's shame I'm a PC/Android heretic raising other heretics, but I do respect the heck out of Apple for the quality of many of the products it puts out, and think it's impressive my dad still has this antique of another age in the history of "home computers."

My brain.

I find it marginally adequate but high maintenance and prone to frequent displays of limitation. I'd gladly trade it in for something better but scientists seem dismally stunted when it comes to the field of transferring our consciousness to robots. Still, it is a bargain considering what I paid for it and do recommend it for small random tasks. If I had to make the choice I would gladly choose it again, so four stars out of five.

Old Milwaukee Beer:

I used to make fun of this stuff and call it "Old Spillway," but I recently picked up a 6 pack for the sheer hell of it and believe it or not it's better than I remembered. You can't beat the price -- five bucks for a six pack of tall boys (16 oz cans). Value!

Don't tell Brother Sprite about this

Pretty damn good, you can actually get it in slices and not squares. Good taste, promises plenty of meat and delivers, fair price for what you get. Tasty.
