![]() Featuring a 3.6-liter LY7 DOHC V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission (with Manual Tap Up/Down shifting capability). The Chevrolet Equinox was not sold in Mexico during the 2009 model year.įor the 20 model years, GM offered different versions of the Equinox and Torrent called Sport/SS and GXP, respectively. Starting with the 2008 model year, the Equinox Sport and Pontiac GXP were available with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that was made in the United States. ![]() The 3.4 L LNJ V6 engine is made in China (by Shanghai GM), while the Aisin AF33 transmission is made in Japan. The first generation Equinox and Torrent were produced exclusively at the CAMI Automotive GM/ Suzuki joint venture plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. For 2007, the instrument cluster got a redesign with a trip computer display, replacing the Saturn-sourced unit. They are not designed for serious off-roading like the truck-based Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet TrailBlazer.įor the 2006 model year, GM updated the Equinox for the first time, adding GM badges on the front doors, as well as recoloring the dashboard panel from grey to black. Front-wheel drive is standard, with optional all-wheel drive. However, the Equinox and the Torrent are larger than the Vue, riding on a 112.5 in (2,858 mm) wheelbase, 5.9 in (150 mm) longer than the Vue. ![]() Riding on the GM Theta platform, the unibody is mechanically similar to the Saturn Vue and the Suzuki XL7. The Pontiac Torrent was originally shown at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Pontiac Torrent was introduced in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Originally, the Equinox was shown at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. The Chevrolet Equinox was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year.

I do not totally know what my question here is. I am now running First Aid on it, just curious to see what if anything it can do there. A warning popped up and indicated that the drive could not be repaired. Once I booted to the external drive, I ran disk utility which I started at around 1400 hours, it is now 1500 hours and it just now found its hard drive. What I tried today was reinstalling the OS (failed), booting it with SpinRite and booting it from a 64GB external drive (worked). The Mac is completely unaware of the fact that it has a 500GB Western Digital HDD in it (which I can hear turning) and if I run Disk Utility, it will spend hours looking for that drive. What happened when I ran "Command+R" was somewhat depressing. ![]() ![]() However, after some reading on the internet and trying a variety of things booting to "Command+S" as well as "Command+R". It is still basically in that same state. Later that day, when I tried to turn it on, it turned on but wouldn't boot passed the Apple Screen with the small, gray progress bar. Luckily the computer was plugged into a surge protector. ![]() Immediately after doing the restart, the electricity for our home went out, it was only out for around a minute. The story surrounding this apparently sudden failure is that I was running an update of Safari that involved needing to do a restart. I have been using a late-2009 iMac (21.5") (it was running the latest pre-Sierra update, I do not remember the exact OS version) for somewhere in the area of six months now and have, overall, had no issues with it. ![]() Welcome to planet Sinistral, where the rare Xenodium crystals are coveted by a human mining conglomerate: The Consortium. StarFront: Collision The Story Trailer. The first trailer for the game can be found on Gameloft's YouTube channel: StarFront: Collision is an RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game set in a credible futuristic universe which promises to be the deepest and most involving the App Store has ever seen. This CGI trailer announcing the game introduces you to the story and the three playable factions. Today Gameloft announce a brand new game for the iPhone and iPad, StarFront: Collision with a trailer as the second gift in our Advent Calendar on Twitter (in the run up to Christmas. Gameloft Announces "StarFront: Collision" - New Game for iPhone / iPad More details on the game, including its price, will be revealed "soon." Check out the first trailer after the break. StarFront: Collision will feature online or local multiplayer for four players as well as a campaign with 20 missions. Okay, we made that last one up, but you get the picture. There's also a gruff hero named Tim Gaynor and his elite psychic operative friend, Kara Serrigan. ![]() And these three factions, you see, they're all embroiled in a battle to obtain a precious mineral known as (wait for it) Xenodium. For one, it features three races: A human mining group known as the Consortium, a bug-like alien race called the Myriad and a race of sentient robots referred to as the Wardens. Entitled StarFront: Collision, the game bares a striking resemblance to StarCraft. Gameloft has announced a "new" RTS for iOS. ![]() This is called “Carrier Aggregation.” The more bands you’re connected on, the higher your data rates. Your phone or hotspot can use multiple bands to connect simultaneously to the tower. The best way to improve SINR is to use a directional outdoor antenna, either connected to a signal booster or directly to an LTE or 5G hotspot. Increasing your SINR can have a dramatic impact on your connection speeds. In 4G LTE and 5G networks, signal quality is measured as SINR. Roughly by order of importance, these are: There are five factors that affect the LTE/5G data speeds you experience. We specifically recommend the Wilson Pro IoT 5-Band. ![]() If the outdoor signal is very weak, but sufficient quality, you can add an inline “M2M” booster. However, if it has only two then you’ll want the 2x2 MIMO Antenna Kit. If your hotspot has four external cellular antenna ports, then it's usually best to go with a 4x4 MIMO Antenna kit. We recommend using the MIMO Log Periodic Antennas if you have line-of-sight to your nearest cell towers, but if you're surrounded by trees, buildings, or hills, a MIMO Panel Antenna Kit will likely perform better than the Log Periodic Antenna Kit. We offer a 2x2 MIMO Panel and 2x2 MIMO Log Periodic antenna kit as well as a 4x4 MIMO Panel, and 4x4 MIMO Log Periodic antenna kit. ![]() If you want the very best data rates, and don’t mind relying on WiFi for distributing indoors, use the latest hotspot from your carrier with external antennas mounted outside the building or vehicle.Ĭheck out our hotspot antenna guides and our 2x2 or 4x4 MIMO External Antenna kits for more information. When using two boosters in a MIMO configuration in tandem with MIMO external antennas, they can allow for wireless rebroadcast of improved signal indoors.Įach of these options has a different set of effects on your 4G/5G signal, and thus your data rates: We offer a Cel-Fi GO X MIMO Kit that achieves this goal. For these types of devices, the best option for improving data rates is a MIMO signal booster/amplifier system.Ĭell phone signal boosters amplify your signal, increasing the signal strength (RSRP) while their directional outdoor antennas reduce interference, increasing the signal quality (SINR). Some hotspots and almost all phones don't have external antenna ports. External antennas can improve both signal strength, signal quality, and help you access bands that aren't making it indoors. We offer a 2x2 MIMO Panel and 2x2 MIMO Log Periodic antenna kit as well as a 4x4 MIMO Panel, and 4x4 MIMO Log Periodic antenna kits. If you have a hotspot, check out our hotspot antenna guides and our 2x2 or 4x4 MIMO External Antenna kits (depending on the number of cellular antenna ports available for your cellular router). Many hotspots from major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile support external antenna ports. Newer hotspots often support the use of external antennas as well. Newer devices support newer versions of the LTE or 5G specification and allow for faster data rates. If you're using an old device, a new phone or hotspot may allow you to connect to new bands. There are three things you can do to improve your data rates: ![]() You want to make sure you get the kit that will actually fit on your set. It’s important to understand this if you’re currently in the market for an Elite expansion kit, or if you will be in the future. This means the Elite USA expansion kits won’t properly fit on the Elite EXP set, and vice versa. The block dimensions are slightly different. The Elite USA and Elite EXP are NOT compatible with each other. The PowerBlock Elite USA and Elite EXP dimensions listed below are for a single dumbbell. Some people love this classic rainbow look, while others think it’s too colorful.īoth Elite models have a grey handle (with black support bars and adder weight tubes) with black weight blocks. The Elite USA and Elite EXP retain the iconic multi-colored weight indicator bands that used to be a hallmark of all PowerBlock dumbbells in years past.Īll other PowerBlock dumbbell models currently in production (except the Sport 24) have since been updated to have more toned-down weight indicator bands. The blocks are made of steel and finished with a black powder coat. This is in contrast to the arched or contoured blocks on all other home-use PowerBlock models, which give them a more modern look. The weight blocks are 10 lbs each for both the Elite USA and Elite EXP.īoth models have a very boxy shape with straight lines on all sides, which give them a more utilitarian look. But it is also more comfortable since it’s not sharp. It is grippy, but not to the extent of knurled steel. It’s scratch-resistant, strong, and hard but not brittle. This is a composite material with properties of both rubber and plastic. The handle grip material is TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber). The handle grip diameters are different on the 2 Elite models: Now, I’ll break down the Elite USA and Elite EXP, separately, into their respective sets/stages: Elite USA Elite 50 ![]() Each handle comes with two 2.5 lb adder weights per handle to achieve smaller weight increments. The empty handle weighs 5 lbs on both the Elite USA and Elite EXP. Both max out at 90 lbs per dumbbell in their final form. ![]() The Elite USA has the Elite 50/70/90 sets and the Elite EXP has the Elite EXP Stage 1/Stage 2/Stage 3 sets. The Elite USA and Elite EXP are both expandable dumbbell models, each with 3 sets. They also have the iconic multi-colored weight indicator bands that all the older PowerBlock models had in the past. ![]() The Elite USA and Elite EXP also both have 2 padded wrist support bars, which is something that no other models have. Most other PowerBlock models have sleeker, more curved blocks. PowerBlock Elite USA vs Elite EXP: Overview of Modelsĭespite their differences, the PowerBlock Elite USA and Elite EXP dumbbell models both have the same boxy shape. In the following sections, I’ll discuss each model separately, and then get into a more detailed breakdown of each feature and spec. Not compatible with Elite USA expansion kits (or other models)Įxclusively through 3rd party retailers (e.g. Not compatible with Elite EXP expansion kits (or other models) Sticker on top of handle reads “PowerBlock Elite EXP” in large text Gold “Made in China” sticker on inside of handle Sticker on top of handle shows “Closed / Open / Closed” for the manual locking mechanism with “Made in USA” above in small text “Made in USA” engraved on the end of each weight block The best way to do this is in a summary table. I want to start with a high level overview of the key differences and similarities of the PowerBlock Elite USA vs Elite EXP. PowerBlock Elite USA vs Elite EXP Comparison

The camera case is covered in a soft-touch textured finish beside the sides and bottom, which doesn’t have the grippy, textured rubbery feel of its predecessor. The difference has been the materials or rather the finishing and color that has changed, it is now more dark color, black like the name says rather than the Hero 6 Black color which was more grey. The Hero 7 has the same design from its predecessors, from the GoPro Hero 5 to Hero 6. With protune enabled you can switch between the different resolution and FPS options, we also have shutter speed control, ISO, sharpness, exposure compensation, color profile, and other adjustments that affect the sound or stabilization. You can change some settings without protune, but if you want to get more technical and touch all of the GoPro settings you’re gonna need to enable protune ![]() If we reduce the resolution we can increase it up to 240 fps. The GoPro can record videos at 4K resolution with a maximum frame rate of 60 frames per second. GoPro has incorporated this nice addition, especially considering the rise in popularity of this video format on social media. It also has the option to shoot in RAWĪ new feature on Hero 7 Black is that it now lets you shoot vertical video and photos and share them directly to Instagram Stories through the GoPro App, it works like a phone if you tilt towards a side monochrome display automatically changes orientation footage. For low light shots, it rids the photo of noise, making dark blue skies seem smooth and noise-free. What this mode does is automatically boosts contrast and color when it’s needed and in localized zones. ![]() It’s a 12-megapixel camera but has been enhanced with a feature called SuperPhoto, a mode that works a lot like the smart HDR features on Google’s Pixel phones or Apple’s new iPhones, and it works a lot better than the WDR mode we’ve seen previously on GoPros. In addition to more video features, the photography of the GoPro Hero 7 has also been improved, again using the power of the internal processor. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Great image quality 4K Struggles with voice commands Slow-motion up to 240FPS Can be unresponsive at times Amazing stabilization (HyperSmooth) Some HDR photos can come out dark Timewarp feature Improved UI Fits all the same mounts as before Photography Unlike the Hero 6 Black, which only allows regular stabilization to be applied to 30 frames per second when shooting in 4K, HyperSmooth can be used even when capturing 60fps footage at full resolution (except at 4:3) on the Hero 7 Black. It can also reach slow motion up to 240 frames per second in HD resolution.Īlso like their predecessors, the GoPro Hero 7 has a waterproof case which can go down to 10m/33ft underwater, it has touchscreen LCDs, feature voice control, and can all automatically back up footage to GoPro’s cloud subscription service (over Wi-Fi), all the buttons are all positioned in the same places as before. GoPro Hero 7 is built the same as their predecessors, the Hero 5 and Hero 6 Black, which means the Hero 7 is compatible with all mounts and accessories. Is this camera worth buying? Will this camera suit best your style of videos you’re gonna record? The GoPro Hero Black version, which has the same custom processor of GoPro last camera ( GoPro Hero 6), offers 4K video capture at up to 60 frames per second, super slow motion up to 240 frames per second, and a suite of new features like live-streaming, a Hyper lapse-style time-lapse mode, and the most significant of these, the HyperSmooth, a form of video stabilization that GoPro ranks as being the equivalent to using a gimbal.Īfter seeing some great reviews by users that have bought this camera I’ve decided to get one for me and make a review about it and explain what is so special about this high-end action camera. There are three different variants White, Silver, and Black. It comes with many awesome features like the 4K video to 60fps, Hyper Smooth stabilization, Live streaming… The GoPro Hero 7 is the newest action camera GoPro has released, and definitely the best yet. |
