iLife V7s Pro review

JohnDiew0107 — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 15:53:34 +0800

This is a summarised review, full review here - https://www.myeverydaytech.com/review-ilife-v7s-pro/

After a long day at work, the last thing I want to do when I reach home is to vacuum & mop the floor. Therefore I have been eyeing on a robotic cleaner for the longest time. There are a couple of reasons why I don't pull the trigger earlier - one, the price, and two, the doubt of actual usability of the robot cleaner itself. Until not too long ago, Gearbest has reached out to us so that we could take a look at the iLife V7s Pro, a reasonably priced robot cleaner with plenty of features. After using it for over 3 weeks, here's what I think of the iLife V7s Pro.

Before we get into the review, I have to make clear that while the unit is provided by Gearbest, this is my honest personal review of the device.

Unboxing

Opening up the box and we are treated to a bunch of accessories apart from the robot cleaner.
iLife V7s Pro
Charging base + cable
Remote control
Dust box
3x efficient filter
1x primary filter
1x side brush (replacement)
Cleaning tool
Water tank
Mop base
2x mop cloth
User manual

The dry cleaning accessories come with 1 extra spare side brush with the original one came preinstalled on the robot. The dust box takes 2 different layers of filters - one primary filter and 3x replaceable HEPA filters.

For wet mopping, you will need the mop base and they have generously provided 2 pieces of cloth. The water tank serves to provide a continuous supply of water to the cloth while the robot is moving around.

The charging base is rather simple with the metal contact at the front.

Remote Control

The remote control takes 2x AAA batteries where users can issue certain commands to the robot cleaner such as start/stop cleaning, turning to a specific direction, set auto cleaning time or back to charging dock. It is very handy since it has the timer function to make it work at a certain hour. One problem is that even when you try to control the robot cleaner with the remote control, for some reason, the movement algorithm would always attempt to override your command.

Design & Features

The iLife V7s Pro only comes in a single colour option - Rose Gold. I presume it is because that most of the time that the user/buyer are housewives. The design is clean and doesn't seem trying too hard to impress. That is exactly why minimalism is the future. Besides, there is a touch-enabled "Clean" button at the top to start or stop the cleaning process. The front "visor" houses all the required sensors for the robot cleaner to work autonomously. The front bumper panel has a spring-loaded mechanism to detect when the robot has bumped into something. It even has a proximity sensor to prevent the robot from going through the edges such as staircases.

1440p vs 2160p Monitor discussion

JohnDiew0107 — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 02:57:29 +0800

Current setup:
2015 MacBook Pro 13'
Dell U2312hm 1080p

Usage:
- photo & video editing
- the rest

As you can see, the 1080p monitor is falling short after getting used to Apple's Retina display. Hence I'm looking for an upgrade for the monitor.

I have a few models in my mind and they're all from Dell. So maybe got sifu would recommend me something better at the same price bracket instead being a Dell fanboy.

- RM2299 - P2715Q 27' 2160p
- RM1999 - UP2516D 25' 1440p (premier colour) 100% sRGB probably overkill though
- RM2099 - U2715H 27' 1440p
- RM2299 - U2717D 27' 1440p (infinity display)

anyone please enlighten me?

Desktop Stereo speakers question

JohnDiew0107 — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 01:58:19 +0800

Q1. Any recommendation for desktop stereo speakers? I'm looking at the Swan D1010 which falls within my budget of RM500.

Maybe you guys have better suggestion than my limited exposure to proper speakers.

Q2. If I were to buy a desktop stereo speakers, I hope to pair the speakers with a speaker base. But I rarely see anyone selling these bases. or there is someone selling?

Switch to MacBook Pro

JohnDiew0107 — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 12:41:40 +0800

Hi all sifus, as the title suggest, I am planning to jump to macOS from windows.

My #1 concern:

What should I do with my current USB flash drives and portable & external hard disks.

As per my understanding, mac needs to install a third party driver to support NTFS file system or format the drive to HFS.

Any tips and suggestions because I have quite a lot of photos and videos in the drives.

Silent my current desktop

JohnDiew0107 — Thu, 22 Oct 2015 12:12:22 +0800

Hello all,

My GF complains that my PC is producing an annoying humming noise and it is especially noticeable during quiet times like night time~early morning. She's quite sensitive to these repetitive and brain-washing-alike sound.

Myself also feel the same just that I choose to ignore it (or already immune). But I believe that I need to do something with it.

First, the specs

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Now, I'm more into stock setup and no overclocking

Plans that I have thought of:
- I suspect the 180mm fan is the culprit, so buy a silent 180mm fan to replace it. (rare in market)
- remove the useless 120mm rear fan
- change CPU cooler to passive HSF
- Buy external HDD dock/enclosure and relocate all internal HDD. Better internal airflow maybe reducing the fan noise being "bounced" out since the 180mm fan is directly facing the HDDs
- last resort - change casing? (no wai, TJ08-E is sexay yo)

Any ideas?
