Terry Treetop Saves The Dolphin Review


MarksvilleandMe reviews
Terry Treetop Saves The Dolphin 
written by Tali Carmi

This is one of many books I have reviewed for Tali Carmi. Terry Treetop Saves The Dolphin is just as good as her other books. Terry Treetop Saves The Dolphin  is the fourth book in the series and takes us on an adventure to a marine nature reserve. 

While there somethings goes wrong and a little dolphin is in danger. Terry jumps to action but will he be able to save the little dolphin? This book will teach your child about marine life and their habitats. My 7 year old daughter and my 3 year old grand daughter love these stories. Great for ages 2-8. 

Of course I can't tell you how it ends but you can buy a copy at Amazon to find out for yourself.

Liztek HBT-3200 USB 3.0 10-Port Hub with 1 Fast Charging Port

 What we like most about the Liztek HBT-3200 USB 3.0 10-Port Hub with 1 Fast Charging Port  is that it has the most ports of all of the Litek products we have reviewed. This is an all around family device great to see up in a central area in your home for charging everything the family has in tech. 

The Liztek HBT-3200 USB 3.0 10-Port Hub with 1 Fast Charging Port  is compact, light, and easy to  mount where you want to use it. My girls love that they no longer have to fight to find a spot to charge, and we like it because they don't misplace their tech products as often. 

Great item for the family for Christmas or that tech person you know who would love to streamline their products.

Liztek HB7-3200 USB 3.0 7-Port Hub with 2 Fast Charging Port Review


 MarksvilleandMe reviews Liztek HB7-3200 USB 3.0 7-Port Hub with 2 Fast Charging Port

What we liked most about the Liztek HB7-3200 USB 3.0 7-Port Hub with 2 Fast Charging Port was the 2 max 1.5A fast chargers, the indicator lights, as well as being able to be mounted horizontally. 

Easy to set up feature on back of box, no drivers needed. Something I could almost handle if my husband were not around to do it for me. Like you have heard from my other tech gear reviews he is my go to man for this type of thing. 

This is mainly used for 3.0 products which means it is up to date and ready to take future equipment you might buy. It is always backwards compatible which means even if you haven't upgraded yet you will be able to use this.

Liztek HB4-3200 USB 3.0 4-Port Hub with 1 Fast Charging Port Review





MarksvilleandMe reviews 
Liztek HB4-3200 USB 3.0 4-Port Hub with 1 Fast Charging Port




What my husband had to say

I had the following items plugged into device.
flash drive to work on homework for college
ipad mini which needed to charge so I was doing this
ipod nano so I could listen to music will doing homework

nice features:
the LED indicator lights were a nice touch to indicate which ports are being used at any given time.
supports 4 USB devices plus 1 vertical charging port for fast charging 2.1A.

If you see from the pics, I had my flashdrive on the hub so I could do my homework.
I was listening to music on my ipod nano and charging my iPad mini all the same time and i still had another empty port to charge or use some other device on.  Plus there was still the vertical charging port for fast charging free to be used. Very versatile device.

I didn't use any USB 3.0 item on this device at this time but the move is that 3.0 is becoming the standard and it is nice to know that this item is ready for future devices that support USB 3.0.

Some other features to note is that this device can handle
super speed 5G bps
mac os and windows 7/8/Vista
max 1.5a fast charge
backward compatible with USB 2.0
Overall a great hub

A desk could be easily organized to make this a functional item on it, so that all of you charging and interface needs could be met at a moments notice and ready to use.  The photos and the hook up of this device are shown in such a manner to show versatility and ease of use of the item.

Liztek UD-3700 USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station Dual Monitor Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews
Liztek UD-3700 USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station Dual Monitor

I have never personally used all of my ports on my computer or laptop, but I guess it does happen. My husband was excited to see how something like this works and he is in heaven. He can not plug all of his items into this docking station and has all of his ports on his or should I say my laptop open. He could use this for some items for his computer but because he is still working on Windows 7 and at the 2.0 he isn't able to use everything he could if he had a more updated computer like mine or my daughters. 

Don't worry it didn't stop him from using it to it's maximum usage. He can not wait to update his computer and use all of the new tech we got thanks to my blogging and him wanting to try it all out so that my readers could learn about it. 




My husband's review

I had the following items plugged into device.
monitor from my main computer into my laptop for college
flash drive to work on homework for college
ipad mini which needed to charge so I was doing this
ipod nano so I could listen to music will doing homework
ipod touch 5.0 also charging for my daughter while I did homework.

nice features:
headphone jack on the unit was a plus as I could plug into device instead of individual ipod, ipad, or nano and I could select between each device via the laptop.
came with installation disk, but didn't need as all device drivers were obtained automatically, but it is nice to have disk in case they were not recognized.
Comes with an adapter for the dual monitor that converts from serial to dvi, real nice, but I didn't need as my monitor was already dvi.

If you see from the pics, that some items were being used on the one monitor and others were being used on the laptop monitor showing how you can work on one and let the other be until you need to change something up.  i used the music on the extra monitor while doing the homework on the laptop monitor.  Very versitile device.

I didn't use any USB 3.0 item on this device at this time but the move is that 3.0 is becoming the standard and it is nice to know that this item is ready for future devices that support USB 3.0.

Some other features to note is that this device can handle
super speed 5.0bps
mac os and windows 7/8/Vista
max 1.5a fast charge
it has a dvi as well as hdmi interface for your dual monitor
It's HD Ready 1080p
And works in mulitple modes for the dual monitor, from distict, extended, and mirror modes.

A desk could be easily organized to make this a functional item on it, so that all of you charging and interface needs could be met at a moments notice and ready to use.  The photos and the hook up of this device are shown in such a manner to show versatility and ease of use of the item.

Overall a great Docking Station.
