My Gear

My personal set-up is a 2015 MacBook Pro, because I like to get the most out of my tech. I use an iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 13 (11/08/19) for my life on the go and a Synology NAS to back up my documents and photos. I personally manage and maintain these machines, in addition to my Control4 home automation system and two Apple TVs.

A Message from Hayley Prokos

I love to help people make the best buying decisions based on their needs. With so many products on the market, it’s easy to get tangled in a web of suggestions based on company algorithms and arbitrary analyses. My goal is to create reviews that help consumers attain a sense of clarity and simplify the buying process.
