Gateway $189 Laptop unboxing from Walmart
A 14-inch laptop with a 1080p screen and THX sound, for less than 200 bucks. If all you need to do is surf the web, watch some videos, and email; this is a great buy.
Amazon wants $379 for the EXACT same model.

Sony LSPX-P1 short throw projector quick look.
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.4 года назад
Just a quick look at a great projector. Close to the wall you can still watch in a decently bright room if you keep the screen size to 50 inches, in the dark feel free to do a 100 inch screen. All wireless from the base station, and autofocus.
More proof Indiegogo is a scam
Просмотров 6394 года назад
People find products in China, then go to Indiegogo and claim they will manufacture them while collection ng millions of dollars and making you wait years. In the end they send you something you could have bought years ago for a third the price. Be smarter.

So worked my way through the Pomera, mostly guessing, but got it working. Also added a chapter from the book that should be coming out in a few weeks...
Bull Hill Hike

Forgive my 8 year old iMac, it did a poor job of editing the video in some parts. I spent 5 hours on a mountain, did some filming, hope you enjoy. Bull Hill is just north of the Bear Mountain Bridge. I went from sea level to about 1200 feet that day.

Unboxing titanium knife and straw filter
2024 and I ordered another one, that fact that you can get them delivered from Japan for under 300 bucks, great deal still today.
Just wanted to check in and see if you were dead? Hope not.
Not dead, thanks. Focusing on my last five years before retiring, so no buying gadgets, lol. Maybe I will make some retirement video when the time comes
@@johnmonk66 glad to hear - be interested in whatever you've got to say whenever you want to come back
2024. Still love this channel. At least 10 years watching
Your voice is very soothing
I'd like to get me one of their haversack.
hey, john, haven't heard from you on here in a long time. i hope you're doing okay.
Still kicking, still hoping ot make videos again but not happening anytime soon, thanks for asking
@@johnmonk66 Wow, it's so great to hear you're doing well! Take all the time you need.
At least it looks good
Vintage Tech Review AMSR version
In the 2 years that passed... I upgraded to a bigger projector for movie night with friends, then COVID hit and I sold it and stuck with a pocket projector. Now in a new place, I just ordered this again, they go for about 320 now from Japan, can't wait until it arrives
Hey John, I was interested in the light phone but now I really would prefer the cheaper duplicate.. can't find it though. do you remember what it was called? Thanks
Thanks for covering computers for a tight budget. I found a zillion comparisons of MacBooks to the Surface Pro, but both are too much right now. I got a Walmart Gateway with service, to start my new job position, and can still eat! 🤞🏻
Too much whispering
2022
Haven’t heard from you in a while, hope you are doing well!
How are the keys? Are they stiff and hard to use when you type or are they smooth?
Much the same as any laptop
@@johnmonk66 that doesn't really answer my question but thanks
@@briannabree1486 sorry, but how did you want it described? there is nothing special about the keyboard, just standard, but nothing wrong with it either.
Johnmonk that is my dad's name
Nice review. You've convinced me. Saw a good deal on a refurb of this model, even cheaper, from Walmart. Looking for a beater laptop for portable use. I have a mid-range Lenovo as my daily desktop laptop. The real selling point is a 1080p IPS panel screen under $200, and in my case, under $130. You can't find ANY new laptop with a 14" IPS 1080P panel under $200 anywhere! Taking a bit of a risk but hey, Walmart is giving us a 90 day warranty on that, so we should see most problems within that window! Some shortcomings. 2.4G only wifi. 4 Gb of RAM and 1.1 Ghz (celeron N4020) CPU--minimal requirements for running Windows 11 (but workable). You're in NYC! Talk about the RENT! lol! I lived there years ago. In my late 60s now. So I'm assuming I'm just a little older than you? But the same generation. I'm semi-retired. Have fun in the new community. I'm not one for such enclaves (but considering the savings in rent, a good idea). Still in the house we bought about 25 years ago. Probably here for the long haul.
I almost just bought a 2022 Microsoft Surface Go for $400, including tax, refurbished. Instead, I got a WalMart Gateway, and saved some money. This video, and your comment, give me hope that I did the right thing. I needed something portable for work, too.
@@sciencenotstigma9534 Yeah, you can't beat that price. I've had mine now for over six months and still working OK. I can't speak as to how durable it would be on the road because I've been working from home a lot so I've only moved it around within the house. I have yet to upgrade to Windows 11. Been waiting to make sure that it's FULLY stable. And, I'm also not sure how that newer system will impact something with a lower level Celeron 4020 that is in this Laptop. The 4020 meets the MINIMAL requirements for Windows 11, from what they say, so it should work. Hope it works out for you!
Nice video. Thank you for the review.
HAVE YOU NOT THOUGHT OF SELLING ONE ON EBAY?
How do you do a whispering review what sense does that even make....you need to delete this
I can't hear you
@@johnmonk66you're just a old bundle of hatred, aren't ya 😂
Go fish somewhere else asshole, you have proved what a dick you are here, go share your dickness with others now@@rezthegamercat8934
Yes Karen, we all can't be as smart and well rounded as you, an ass who insults people on the internet when they get their asses handed to them@@rezthegamercat8934
Great video but why are you whispering 🤦🏿♀️
Thy are listening
Hello, can you help me with the numeric keywork on my new laptop doesn't work , just the numbers on top of my laptop ,need help
Very sorry I can not help
Laptop name?
when did i leave this here? 🥱
is any one having issues with it now turning on but the charger light is red
No, still works
I hate that I’ve seen this video. Been looking for a sealed MSR for 6 years and have never been able to find it.
The now no longer made titanium fuel bottle that is.
ebay, set a search that will tell you whenever one comes up
@@johnmonk66 Yup, I’ve had that on for 6 years. They’ve came up but only used ones. Hopefully one day, but thanks for the tip. The new snow peak titanium bottle called aurora looks intriguing though. Might settle with that for now.
Amazon does NOT sell the "EXACT" model because it is exclusive to Walmart. Do your research.
exact same
Amazon drop ship these laptops dumbass
What's the name of your book? Did you finish it? Did you publish it? Where can I find it?
I loved this book goodbye things too. And funnily enough I also found the only parts which I didn't relate to were the Apple product and Steve jobs fan section.
Who likes you going on, and on, and on?!? Who likes watching you plug in?
I stayed for the voice...
Hey I was watching your videos last night lol, glad to see you upload again after 8 months ✌️
Sorry about the clicking at the beginning, no idea what that is.
No worries! The information is great.
Hi John, do you not have any information about your friend Miroslav Matějů, have you communicated with him quite often and I have a feeling that he also received a package from you that he unpacked? Have a nice day Peter
I have not heard from him in years, once he finished school he left youtube
@@johnmonk66 John i find maybe Mirek Facebook account : m.facebook.com/miroslav.mateju?tsid=0.3464685146502573&source=result . Actual foto is very similar :) ... check this :)
@@Scorp180 Very nice of you, but I left Facebook, they spy on you. Mirek knows I am here, he can say hello anytime
how's your experience been with the app? i've heard people have had problems with it properly detecting hdmi connections and/or switching to hdmi via the app.
I had no problems using the app on an android phone
You really worked for Trump..?? Do projectors work with all phones? proprietary only?
All projectors now for years only require HDMI in, so they work with anything with HDMI out. You need to make sure your phone has video out, or see what kind of share screen your phone uses so you can use a Chromecast or other device. And I didn't work 'for' Trump, I did construction in his building.
You had me at the first sentence. Can't wait to read it. www.joanhallhovey.com
That’s awesome ! Really nice. Hope your well my friend .✌️
Yes I like that!!
Sorry my fingers appear in the video, lol.
Had to revisit this video. It's now 2020 and I wonder if you still have these.
Unfortunately, no. Waiting for one to pop up on eBay again, lol
I was married at the heart shape rock..it was awesome..
Great find. There is so much crap on those sites. I have only bought two things from Kickstarter and on both occasions I researched well and only bought from companies with a track record of actual innovation and, more importantly, follow through. I bought an Anker Capsule 2 from Kickstarter and am quite happy with it. But I know a lot of people who have been burnt. Happy Holidays to you John.
I considered the Capsule, but the first one was so bad, lot of people had problems and the speakers were not great at high volumes. Currently, I use a ViewSonic M1, it has Hardon Karmon speakers and are the loudest speakers I have, the fact that they are built into a portable projector makes it more amazing. Unfortunately, it is only a 480p projector. Currently looking for something with 720p, I am even considering this one, if I get a used one for 100 bucks, lol.
That’s incredible. You should do a whole series of these videos, exposing this crap ! Thanks,and Happy Holidays my friend.👍
Happy holidays to you and yours.
Seeing the MONK opening up a can of soup for me would be a thrill especially if he heated it up in one of his titanium pots on an alcohol stove . Still loving that 400ml MSR Titan bottle after all these years .
Still one of the best YT unboxing vids miss ya John
All the people I used to watch are gone, we get old, we move on, we die, lol. Sometimes we see kids making videos about cats and becoming millionaires and wonder what the heck we are doing opening boxes... But who knows, I might come back to this, I went a long time fighting cancer and becoming a minimalist so I don't but many things to unbox, I doubt unboxing 12 cans of soup from Amazon would be very exciting
How do you transfer your work from the device to a PC? Appreciate your response and time.
you can connect with a usb cable but if you are looking for a writing device today, I would suggest the Freewrite Traveler over these units now
@@johnmonk66 The updated teh Pomera the best one with an e-ink screen is the DM30 but its discontinued as of last year (comeback maybe?) th DM200 (JP keyboard) and the DM250 (US keyboarD) are seem to be superior to the free writer traveler.
@@Wingnut353 No, they are cheaply made products, the free write is made with quality.
Do you need an SD card for the device or can you save your work on the internal memory?
It has enough internal memory for many thousands of pages
What is the difference between the DM20 and DM30?
DM30 is a huge upgrade. It uses a six inch e-ink screen, and the keyboard is bigger and a lot more stable. I am selling a DM30 on eBay right now. Or you can get one on Amazon for 250 or so.
Great video! Love the new clean shave.
thanks for watching
This is destined to be a classic ! Bravo ! Just fantastic ! Although Bigfoot is real..... Lol 😂
I was surprised how good a job I did as the flat earther, lol, very accurate
johnmonk66 What ? That was a flat earther right? You mean that was you ? Lol ! Very good,laughed my ass off ! I don’t expect you will be getting any or much response from the flat earth people. Cheers
Where we can get the Model2?
eBay, maybe, but why? It is a dinosaur now
@@johnmonk66 I love the retro... Devices, Consoles, IT it is where the innovation was a chimera
@@fabrizio-6172 It was, you can find them under 200 bucks now on eBay often enough.
@@johnmonk66 did you please show me any? I am unlucky in the search
@@fabrizio-6172 they Sometimes come on Ebay, you have to check every week.
