This monitor is excellent for editing photos and slides.
It has incredibly accurate color rendition right out

better for processing my photos and slides than the

for my work. Its 1920X1200 resolution is well matched

Good backup drive - but needs a fan
on November 11, 2024
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I do regular image backups of my workstation,
that has four NVMe m.2 drives . For this I need
large capacity, external, hard drives. This 20TB drive
is well suited for the task. Its only shortcoming is
that it heats up to more than 50deg C during the
long backup time, if left to its own devices. I have
fixed this issue by positioning a pair of 80mm fans
beneath it, to force cool air into its housing (see photo).

Like a Comfy Couch! The Vernazza Soft Fabric design is based on Arozzi~s top rated Vernazza chair, but has been covered with a soft yet durable fabric used on quality furniture! The breathable material is exceptionally pleasing to sit in, while at the same time keeping you cool for long term use! The wheel base has been upgraded to an aesthetically pleasing aluminum metal with a matte black finish, and the updated gas lift added some additional height to the seat ideal, expanding its comfort range and making it an ideal choice for taller body types as well!

surface to protect the chair during assembly. I carefully
unpacked the pieces, and checked against the list of

5 out of 5Great retro style boombox
By Greg
I bought this boombox on a deal of the day for half price and it was worth every penny. I like the style. I was looking for a cassette player to play my old cassettes and it works great for that. I also like having the radio. So it gives everything I had on my old boombox from the 80s. But what sold me in this one was the rechargeable built in battery and ability to connect to other devices using Bluetooth or audio jack so I can use my MP3 player or phone with it. I also wanted to use an sd card with my favorite songs.
I definitely like this player a lot. From some of the reviews I was a bit concerned about the sound quality but It sounds good to me. I think it has good sound and it was better than I thought it would be from the reviews I read. It sounds good. It is not up to the high quality sound systems or theater sound systems but unless you need that it sounds great and sounds as good or better than any boombox I had before. It plays my music just fine.
Today we had a family get together and I was requested to bring it outside to provide the music. I Bluetooth connected it to my phone and played pandora through it. People were impressed and a few guests took turns connecting their phones to it to play their music through it and we had a number of people singing along. It proved to be a big hit with everyone and I was told by a few they were wanting to buy one also.

Cons:
- On mine the sound needles do not move. Not sure if mine is broken or if they just don’t work normally. This is not a major problem for me since they don’t affect my music but it would be cool to watch the needles bounce to the music.
- I love that the player has a mini sd card reader. However, there is no random song play option. It also does not have playlists so I basically have to always start at the same song and forward or reverse through until I find the song I want. If I need those options the workaround is to connect my phone or MP3 player to the unit and just play from them.

I Was looking for something my husband could use to play all his old cassette tapes. That’s it. & that’s exactly what I got. Works great. Very functional & meets the need. However, We Realized after using it, that it would be nice if He could record the tape to digital through a USB or auxiliary plug; There are no other inputs on this device. But I wasn’t Looking for it originally so not the products fault.

4 out of 5Good lamp despite slow charging
By vnda
Battery takes a while to charge. Several hours. Light lasts a couple hours so it’s best to have it plugged in. Quality is good. Base is heavy enough to be stable on the table. Light is fairly bright and the 3 levels of intensity is good the light bar can be folded all the way down and allows a full range of positions. The arm tension is good as it is easy to adjust and doesn’t move once set. For the priceI paid it was a good deal. The only downer is that it takes so long to recharge. It your battery is depleted, you can’t use the light until the battery is partially charged. It will just turn off. At first I thought it was defective but the USB charge current is only 500 ma. I guess it can’t charge the battery and run the lamp at the same time.

The lamp is light and portable. It is bright and three levels of brightness. The downside is it takes at least a few hours to fully charge, and the charge does not hold very long. It can be frustrating when the battery is low and the supplied USB cable is not capable of providing enough power.

2 out of 5Well it looks good on paper:(
By BudsPro
Samsung's latest entry into the 8 inch class of tablets is unfortunately a bit short. This not a terrible tablet, but it is a low budget tablet. Initial price is too high. This tablet looks good on paper has 64GB ROM, 4GB of Ram, but the GPU performs poorly and the screen shutters from page to page, The screen refresh rate is poor. The wifi says its dual band and fast but did not perform well. The display is just OK. It does not have screen sleep when cover is closed. It cannot vibrate, and has no fingerprint sensor. This tablet will not do well with games. It does have a good battery, fast charging and USB C. It also has Android 11. It barely functions as a reader. With just a little more effort from Samsung and this could have been a decent successor to the TAB S2.

This is an excellent tablet for the price point offered. People complaining about this tablet seem to want a $500 tablet for under $200, but life doesn't work that way.
This is a really nice and very sturdy tablet. I LOVE the size, just small enough to throw in most jacket pockets, but big enough to work well as an e-reader or to watch video. This tablet does exactly what I want it to do.

You get the great Samsung build quality, the open Android system, USB-C port, expandable memory via micro-SD, long battery life, and pretty decent dual speakers, and all for an affordable price.
A very nice tablet from Samsung, I def recommend the A7-Lite.

I have a light weight, touch screen, 360 degree laptop that came with a pen so I didn't think I needed a tablet for a few years. Until my I started to want something even lighter to watch videos on and take to college to write notes with.
I absolutely love my tablet! Writing with the pen feels really smooth and responsive. I love that it can turn my handwriting to text to make it easier to read since my handwriting can sometimes look like chicken scratch.
Watching videos or reading webtoons/ebooks is comfortable and resolution is great for me.
The only thing is that browsers seem to be slow, but that's something I can overlook.
After a year my tablet is still working great. I still watch most of my videos on it. I still love using it to write just about anything on it. Battery life is around 6-8 hours when watching videos. I hope it continues to work great for more years as I don't really enjoy changing or upgrading things that work great.

Enjoy crisp, powerful low-end audio with these Sony MDRXB50AP/L earbud headphones, which feature a bass duct design that provides optimal sound isolation. An integrated elecret condenser/omnidirectional microphone lets you chat hands-free.
Are these compatible for listening to movies provided by airlines?
Yes. They simply plug into the audio jack on the seat. Because they have an L-shaped plug, they are easier to deal with for those seats where the audio jack is pressed against your side.

Lenovo 510A-15ICB Desktop: Upgrade your home computer with this Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop PC. The fast Intel Core i5-8400 processor and Intel UHD 630 graphics card easily handle complex software, and you can store your photos and files on the big 1TB hard drive or make use of the seven-in-one card reader to save on other storage media. Connect this Lenovo IdeaCentre computer wirelessly to other devices using the built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
How big is the power supply in this unit? Can I add a Nvidia 1050 GPU without upgrading the Factory power supply?
The unit has an internal 180 Watt power supply. I believe you would have to replace it with a higher power supply to run such a card. I did a little research on upgrading the power supply for this machine. It is not so easy. I would recommend sticking with the built in graphics. The machine was not designed for higher end gaming.

Can I upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro before or after purchase?
You will have to do it after the purchase, and the system has been set up. It is very easy to do via the Windows Store (for which you must have an account). It will cost about $100.

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?
I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?
I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
