Amazon Fire HD 6 Review

The Amazon Fire HD 6 Starts at less than $100 dollars and is by far the smallest tablet to date on offer by the retail giant Amazon and one of the cheapest tablets that you can get in this price and performance range. The big question however that is on everyone's mind is that: Is this tablet any Good or will I be wasting my hard earned cash investing in one? Well to make your conclusion you will need to read on.

The Amazon Fire HD 6 at first Glance

The HD 6 is small and compact which makes it perfect for one handed operations. Right off the bat if you are familiar with Amazon tablets you will notice the HD 6 from Amazon is sporting a new design. The body is made from reinforced plastic with the Amazon logo branded across the back with its tapered edges.

Connections


The upper portions features  the headphone jack, Microphone pinhole, Micro USB port and power button. Towards the left is the volume rocker up and down and towards the bottom are no connections except the speaker grill.

As was highlighted before one handed operation is great but at 1.6 lbs compared to most of today's top offerings you might find this a bit on the heavy side especially if you are accustomed to other tablets in this size range.

Hardware & Software Performance 

Inside the Amazon Fire HD 6 is a 1.5 GHz quad core processor, 1 gig of RAM and depending on your choice  it comes in 8 and 16 gigs internal storage capacities. On Board is the new Amazon Sangria operating system and very similar to Amazons last version of this operating system. This means a intuitive and easy to use experience that's pretty straight forward.

General Performance


With everyday operations such as checking emails and browsing the web the HD6 performs buttery smooth and you should have no issues in this regard. On loading certain apps such as Books it can take a little while to respond with a few kinks that were hardly noticeable here and there.

While the 8 Gigs is limited in its capacity Amazon is hoping that you will use its cloud storage feature that will greatly extend your storage and even in the 16 gig model. Also do not hope for local extenable memory options such as SDCards as they are not supported, so be prepared to move files between Amazon cloud service and your device.

The Screen and Video Performance 


Movies will look stunning on the 6 inch 1280 x 800 HD LCD screen, text is very clear and easy to read which is something that we have sort of come to expect from Amazon devices, the screen has one flaw however there is no auto brightness feature built in so screen adjustment must be done manually.

The Cameras

Amazon Fire HD 6

 

There are two cameras a front and a rear facing one, the front facing VGA camera is fuzzy at beast and is nothing to write home about. Its the bear minimum in a camera to actually allow for video calls and such. The rear 2 Mega Pixel Camera is ...well its only 2 Mega Pixels so don't expect miracles or a major step up from the front unit.   Pictures taken by the camera look somewhat washed out and have a blue haze to them on close observation. Overall it does the job but its not the worlds best cameras.

Why should I Buy the HD 6?

Its extremely compact and easy to use  with one hand, ideal for those looking for an affordable tablet that's ideal for those who are buisy and need a table that highly portabe and can be easily use on the go then this is a great option for you to purchase.
   

Why I should get it:

1. Great Price.
2. New form factor of 6 inches
3. Highly portable and great for on the go use.
4. Works great as a one handed device for convenience.

Things that might change your mind on getting this:

1. No auto screen brightness.
2. No local support for extending memory by MicrSD cards, only cloud support.
3. Camera quality gets the Job done but not overly good.

Pricing 

You can always check here for the best prices which are below the $100 mark and more information.

The Military has Drones & so should you!

Military Class Drone

Yes if you are wondering if I have gown nuts, you are probably partially correct in making such an assumption. But on the matter of owning your own drone it not only likely but it's quite possible.


With drones our approach to owning a remote controlled flying behemoth that can give you a birds eye view on things while you are perched safely on the ground having total control is quite possible. Now note I am not actually talking about a military class drone, but less aggressive models that can be owned and use for your personal fun, enjoyment or useful tasks.

Y&G Metal Clip wallets fits everything snugly and in style.

Recently I looked at my wallet and shrugged as the unit itself was getting a little fat for my taste and by fat I do not mean it was filled with cash, but it was getting a little too big for my personal preference as the number of Credit Cards, ATM, Debit and ID Cards was increasing and my wallet did not feel like a wallet as it once did.
Best modern wallet
Wallet Overload!!

In fact the very sight was disgusting me and I thought to myself there must be a better solution for holding my cash and the many cards that I have that need a home. So then I went hunting and came across what I deem one of the best if not the best solution for those seeking a compact, sturdy and well designed modern wallet that both functional and flexible.

Introducing the Metal clip wallet from Y&G:

The $60 Alldaymall 7 inch tablet that will surprise you.


Alldaymall 7 inch capacitive touch Screen Android 4.0 tablet 

My views on tech has always been that if its too good a price there has to be some disabelating flaw with the device. I must say today that I was totally caught off guard by the performance of the Alldaymall 7 inch capactive touch screen tablet a David in this world of Goliath tablets such as the: iPad, Samsung, Asus and nexus brands. Before we venture any further I must state that this device is a entry level device that features some decent performance for the minimal price and must not be compared to other mid range or high end tablets. So for what you pay, a minimal $60 bucks you are getting a tablet that would make a great kids starter tablet or even a tablet to use for your personal daily carry along that does not break the bank and is easily one of the best, if not the best tablet in the entry level market and is money well spent.So if you are seeking a powerhouse device turn back now!, just kidding you can still read and make up your mind after seeing the evidence.

A $20 dollar watch that looks like $1000+

U.S. Polo Assn. Sport Men's US8208EXL Analog-Digital Dial Extra Long Silver-Tone and Gun Metal Watch


The Wagner "HT 1000" 400 & 540 Degrees Celsius Heat Gun

Superior Heat @ at superior Price

Wagner Dual Temperature Heat Gun HT 1000

Today's product review is of the Wagner dual temperature heat gun model number HT 1000. This baby carries a much appreciated corrosion resistant tip that will resist corrosion, a God send in this type of device; as most heat producing devices, including soldering Irons' tend to corroded after per-longed use,not this baby so far. Wagner has also opted to install a handy "hanging hook" that makes it convenient to suspend this heat gun from a wall or shelf of the :Do-it-yourselfers workshop. The HT 1000 also features a low noise design with two variable fan speeds and in my use of the device found it to produce acceptable degrees of sound, and not too hear splitting. The body is cast in rugged light weight high-impact plastic a god send for the computer or gadget repair man that needs to be in tight spaces for a sustained period of time. Thee are three control setting that range from: Off, low to high. This baby spits out a whopping face melting 400 degrees celsius in low mode, to a hawing 540 degrees celsius in high, be warned the nozzle does get hot so do not touch or point this bad boy in the direct line of sight of you or anybody that might be around.

The best laptop or tablet carrying Case Full stop.



I was recently in the market for a laptop bag on amazon when I came across the “Case Logic VNA-216 16-inch inch laptop Attaché”, let me just say in terms of build quality this is one of the best laptop bags out there in the higher echelons of quality, with an affordable price tag and trust me I have been around the block as my friends are all professionals and sport there laptops in bags of all makes and models, which tend to fall apart sooner than later.
