Excellent desk lamp
on January 31, 2024
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
This lamp is an excellent addition to my desktop computer station. The station is wide, with two monitors and a tower with external speakers. This lamp has a long bulb on a configurable arm that provides excellent lighting of my wide space. The white color of the emitted light allows accurate viewing of color on the desk - which is useful when comparing photos to what I see on my monitor screens. Also the light is not harsh, even on the highest setting. I recommend this lamp highly.

A Chromebook Plus Bargain

This refurbished Lenovo chromebook is a real bargain.
Its specifications exceed the qualifications for a
Chromebook Plus in that it has 256GB of storage in

younger than the 13th generation Intel Core i3 in the
most current Lenovo version of this laptop. The only
thing that might give one pause is that this laptop is
"Refurbished" -- I found that this should not stop you

Great mouse for travelers on a budget!

Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this mouse to use with my new 14" hp pavilion 2 in 1 laptop. I wanted a mouse to carry around with me as I went from place to place. This mouse does that job nicely. It is compact, yet fits my hand comfortably. It pairs instantly with my laptop. It glides smoothly over most surfaces. There is a button on the bottom to turn off the mouse when not in use, and thereby conserve battery power. It looks premium. It is a good buy.

5 out of 5Great for Automotive Technicians
By torquewrench
Let me start by saying that I am far from a computer expert but I know enough to get me by. I can't speak to technical operating specs but I know when the computer works properly for my applications.
As a professional automotive technician, I needed a reasonably priced, good laptop to run vehicle manufacturer specific diagnostic programs for vehicle diagnostics and programming with hardware such as a j2534 passthru.
This Lenovo laptop has Windows 11 in S mode which needs to be switched out of to allow program downloads. The screen is a nice size and very crisp as well as being touchscreen, the mouse pad is very responsive and easy to use and the battery life appears good although I rarely use it off the charger for more than a couple hours at a time.
This computer does everything that I have needed it to do and has done it well. I purchased for less than $300 and consider it a great value for what it is. 5 stars from me, no complaints.

5 out of 5Multi-Task Effortlessly
By RachelR
I love my tablet! I have the Lenovo Tab P12 with Tab pen plus. I use my tablet in multiple ways such as watching movies, using office, taking notes and this tablet is not a slouch. I read some of the reviews and the tablet that is on sale on the Lenovo website is the 8gb and 128 model and it is not this model that we are reviewing so I wanted to correct some of the reviewers. The model that we are reviewing is 8gb and 256 model. The tablet has split screen which allows me to multitask effortlessly. I choose the right tablet to meet my needs and the selling point for me was the 12.7 inch display which is awesome so I love my tablet and I would recommend this tablet to anyone that is looking for a great tablet to multitask on effortlessly.

By Twiz1
Nice little laptop for the price. Very light decent screen and runs fine. I don't live the lower version of Windows 11, but that's on me for not noticing it. I will probably pay to upgrade to pro at some point. It didn't have a backlit keyboard but the buttons have enough contrast that i can still see them in low light. Again for the money you can't expect every bell and whistle.

By Clyde
I really love the laptop. Its great and does exactly what I needed it for for the most part. I'm only disappointed because it doesnt have enough USB slots, which I needed at least 3 of so I could use my drawing tablet on it. I got a USB port extender for it and that doesnt help out much because the port's power isn't good enough I think. I only wish it had more USB slots, then it would be perfect for me. It is very fast, though, and that makes me very happy, and I can play minecraft again, which also makes me happy.

5 out of 5More Powerful & Offers Better Ergonomics.
By Andrea1969
This Theragun Pro is more powerful and offers better ergonomics. The noise level is significantly higher. If you ultimately care for force and noise is not a concern, I suggest you make yourself a massage gun with a jigsaw - it will have all the amplitude and stall force you can handle and then some… Of course, get yourself and others around you some earplugs. But the Theragun seems to offer the perfect balance.
The 3 things that drew me to it were:
1) the 60lb stall force vs the 30lb stall of my generic unit (the 16mm vs 10mm massage depth was also a consideration)
2) the Theragun's proprietary triangular shaped handle
3) the 2 swappable batteries, that allowed for longer sessions (and allow for charging one battery, while the other is in use)
After using this TheraGun Prime Quiet Deep Tissue Therapy Massage several times already, here are my key points:
- that triangular shaped handle (and the ability to change the angle of the arm) are THE biggest improvements, to me, ESPECIALLY for using the unit on myself.
The triangular grip, and the adjustable angle of the 'arm', make it much easier to find a comfortable, secure grip to use this on myself (especially on my shoulders and back, but even on my arms, thighs, pecs, calf muscles etc.), compared to the 'T' shape of my generic unit (and every other unit on the market).
- the 60lb stall force (and 16mm depth vs 10mm) allows me to get an even deeper massage, especially on my back. I use it while sitting in a chair/recliner and lean back into it, so the (padded) back of the recliner allows me to brace the unit to push harder and apply more pressure (and as expected, the generic unit with its 30lbs of force will stall out, where this Pro unit with its 60 lbs of force keeps going).
***IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WONDERING***
- the Bluetooth connectability and app that can be downloaded are interesting, and allow you to load 2 more settings on the unit, and a constant speed mode (that can manually be adjusted faster or slower), and a varying speed mode (that slowly varies back and forth from the slowest to fastest speed).
You need to download the app to load/program the other 2 available mode settings, otherwise, selecting those does nothing (the modes show up on the display as 'T', 'I', 'II', and 'III'. Modes 'II' and 'III' aren't pre-programmed).
Interesting to play with the app, and the various modes/sessions on the app not only have countdown timers for each bodypart/muscle group, but the app even shows you where to apply the Theragun, and gives you a recommended range of how much force/pressure to apply (and the unit itself has a sensor that indicates how hard you're pressing/how much force you're applying). Interesting and it may be of value to some.
- some folks complain that the unit is loud. It's not a consideration to me. My primary concern is how well a massager works as a massager. As far as how loud, I can still have a conversation while using the massager, without having to yell, or constantly say, "WHAT?!! I didn't catch that". I wouldn't use it next to someone who's asleep, but having used various massagers over the decades, I don't really find this one exceptionally loud. There may be units that are quieter than this one, but as mentioned my priority for a massager, is how well it works as a massager.
Is this Theragun Pro worth 3x to 4x the cost of cheaper options? That's going to be an individual choice. For me, the triangular handle and adjustable 'arm' angle allowing me to find a secure, comfortable grip to effectively use it on myself, coupled with the higher stall force alone, make it worth it.

5 out of 5Incredibly pleased
By BenC
This drive is shockingly fast. Its for the system drive in my PC and I wanted a cooling block to increase lifespan. I upgraded from an Intel nvme v3 to this just because I wanted to increase space.
My drive was already amazingly fast because I upgraded from an SSD. That shocking speed increase was hard for me to believe. Well upgrading to THIS drive feels that much faster than my old nvme.
I intend to buy another so I can clone periodically just because I'm not sure how long nvme drives will last. Cloning only took 9 minutes for 1tb!
Top tip: download the free utility Clonezilla instead of paying for a commercial software. It makes a bootable USB and it's free.

I agree that the language used in the description is somewhat misleading - but I have seen this in the descriptions of a lot of other systems. You can still use one of the SATA ports in your computer to install a conventional SSD for additional storage.

1 out of 5Backup waveform is hit or miss with electronics
By StevenC
Electronics generally require a sinusoid. When in backup mode, this puts out severe square waves which may or may not work with your electronics as shown in the attached images. This sort of waveform works well with inductive loads (i.e. refrigerator compressor, air conditioning condenser, etc.) BUT NOT WITH SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS.
In this instance, it worked with my desktop, but not the monitor.

You make an excellent point. I especially appreciated your distinction between power for a desktop, as opposed to a monitor. I will shift my monitor plug to the surge protected half of this device. In the event of a power outage, I can force a shutdown of my desktop without having to see a monitor.

5 out of 5Great office/school laptop, easy to upgrade
By MichaelY
Great laptop for office use, especially with some upgrades. On sale I picked it up for $220. The SSD and RAM slots are immediately accessible after removing the bottom cover, and for $300 total (not including tax) I had a 16GB/1TB setup. An 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM costs about $25, and a 1TB SSD about $55. My pictures show a 2TB SSD- I also did a 512MB with no problems.
The 14 inch frame is the perfect portable size for me- just large enough to be useful, but not getting unwieldy like 15 or 17 inch laptops. Three pound weight is nice, less than that and you're paying a huge premium for "ultrabook" weight laptops. The keyboard is centered (I hate offset keyboards on laptops) with no physical ten-key.
I can confirm that this particular model (i3-1315u, 8GB/128GB) comes with one SODIMM slot open from the factory, so all you have to do is drop in an 8GB stick to upgrade to 16GB total RAM. The factory RAM on board is DDR4-3200, so get a stick of that rating or higher to match.
The NVME slot is PCI-E gen 3, so pretty much anything on the market will work- gen 5 is just starting to sell, gen 4 is the bulk of the market, and gen 3 if you can find it might be a bit cheaper. I had no issues with a 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB SSD replacements. Macrium Reflect Home (free) is your friend for SSD cloning. The factory installed Windoze 11 Home uses 50GB, so you only have a little over 67GB free after initial setup and updates (that were available in Aug 2025).
Benchmarks: The i3-1315u benches on PassMark around 11500, so it's more than enough to be plenty speedy for office and school work. It's not going to do heavy lifting for 3D rendering or AI training, but at this price point that's not what you're looking for. For gaming, it's not going to play AAA titles, but the integrated graphics can actually run e-sports level titles decently well. Before adding memory (and therefore running single channel), it scored 8032 on 3DMark for the Night Raid DX12 test. The i3-1315u has 64 execution units, and an i3-1115G4 with 48EUs that I just set up but running dual channel memory scored 8464 on the same benchmark, so I expect the 1315u to be able to score above 10000. Either way, more than enough to run a few rounds of Rocket League or Minecraft when you feel like it.
Get this for yourself for a cheap capable office laptop, or for the student that you don't want wasting their time playing Doom Dark Ages or Cyberpunk. My gamer son would be frustrated with this laptop, so that makes it perfect!
