This is an excellent addition to my game collection.
It is one of the best adventure games out there,
and plays well on my Xbox One X console. I suspect
this will become a collector's item in ten years!
It is on sale at an unbelievable price, and will probably
go out of stock in the near future.

Excellent set of budget headphones. I use them with my
"new" Galaxy S22 phone. They provide good stereo sound, that is considerably better than that from the
speakers of the phone. They drain the battery of the
phone far less than the phone speakers, or than using

When I plug it in it shows a 1000Mbs connection, but when I transfer a file it maxes out at a 100Mbs speed.

If your usb port is a usb 2.0 port, the maximum throughput speed will be ~200Mbs.

Excellent purchase
By David
I’ve never owned a Samsung tablet but I’m glad I purchased this one. I bought it as a replacement for a 10 year old HD Nook and this is a fabulous replacement. Light weight, slim, yet very solid. I recommend you buy a screen protector and case. Has plenty of storage for apps and has great video and sound.

Does not work with video.
By Mikew
It works of you aren't trying to cast any type of video. Otherwise, all you get it a glitchy, buffering cast of what you're trying to watch.
Works for me
March 31, 2022
I am connecting to it with a Samsung Tab S6 Lite, using the Smart View utility in the tablet. I am watching movies from VUDU, and YouTube videos with no problem. I did have to enable HDCP in the adapter to watch the copyrighted material from VUDU - and this is done using the Microsoft Display Adapter app, that only runs on Windows.

Nice little laptop
By VickieE
It's been many years since i've purchased a computer. I really like the size and weight of this one. The only thing I don't like is that I can't install Chrome. It seems they only want me to use Bing. The other thing is that there is no Excel without paying extra and I don't want to pay for just one spreadsheet. I have Office on a cd but there is no cd slot. Other than that, I really like it so far, much faster than my old computer and has touch screen. It was one of the least expensive ones that I could find. It's worth the price I paid. I'll just have to find someone who knows what they are doing to help me around the issues of getting Chrome and using the one spreadsheet I need. Overall good purchase.

Does the external SSD come with a USB-C cable? I’m not sure if I have one.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
