Review: The LG G3 S (Vigor) on AT&T – The New Android Mid-Range!

I’ve been very critical of mid-range phones. They face intense competition by a new breed of entry level phones like the Nokia Lumia 635, and we know that high-end flagship phones can drop in price really quickly.

Does the G3 Vigor have what it takes to rise above the competition? Let’s take a look!

Review: Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5212 Laptop

C55KB

I was recently editing an audiobook when my HP laptop completely stopped working on me. I am known for using my devices until they are on their last leg of life. I needed a great replacement and I had to stay within budget. A few friends of mine have Toshiba Satellite laptops so I decided to head over to Toshiba’s and see what they had to offer. I came across the Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5212. It was reasonably priced. So I read some reviews and decided to place the order. It has been a while since I had purchased a new laptop and it was time for a change like when I switched from Android to a Windows Phone 8.

About 7 days later the Toshiba C55D-B5212 showed up via UPS. There is no un boxing in this review. So let’s jump right into the review. The first step was to download all the updates to get the new laptop up to speed and up to date. The updates took about 30 minutes. The Toshiba C55D-B5212 comes equipped with Windows 8.1 so I was interested to see how the new operating system would compare to Windows 7 Ultimate. After the updates were good to go, it was time to see what the new laptop could do. I was able to sync all of my social media, email and xbox live apps seamlessly with Windows 8.16tag_050914-134535 Continue reading “Review: Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5212 Laptop”
