Great laptop for the price. I learned the hard way to avoid other brands. Dell is good quality. Excellent support. Frequent driver and firmware updates. Laptop is super fast for everyday use. I just wish the keyboard was illuminated.

I don't recommend Lenovo anymore

Lenovo is now junk. They used to be decent but now their quality is very poor. Some of their PC's won't even update past 1909. I have many Lenovo computers and can't wait to replace them with something better.

Eats flash drives for breakfast. Corrupts itself
on April 24, 2021
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ruins flash drives. A dark spot has developed on the lower right corner after just 4 months. The system corrupts itself every month and you have to do a factory reset. Decent picture but this TV isn't going to last long. Good thing I bought a 4 year service plan. Here I come Geek Squad.

Junk. Doesn't work on some computers. Other computers can read it but the drive goes offline every 15 seconds making file transfers impossible. I've tried it on multiple computers and laptops. Wouldn't work on my phone either. Just junk.

John's Questions
Designed with 299Wh capacity and charging up to 6 devices at once, the Anker SOLIX 522 is a best portable battery powered generator to power your 99% consumer electronics like cell phone, laptop, drones, fan, TV and etc when you are in on-the-go off grid adventures(camping, tailgating, RV road trip , gateway) or as an emergency home backup if the electricity goes out unexpectedly. As a portable power station, it weighs only 8.6 pounds, making it a breeze to carry around.
Is this item refurbished or new? I opened the sealed box and there are fingerprints, smudges and wipe marks on the unit. It also won't charge to 100%. Really seems like a refurb but I don't see anything that mentions refurbished.

I had the Google version of this TV and it would only output stereo PCM over optical and ARC. Is this TV any different? I'm looking for Dolby digital surround sound over optical.

The A6G series. Proving that good things come in big packages too. Take your pick from 85~, 75~, 70~, 65~, 60~, 55~, 50~ and 43~ screens. For 4K UHD picture quality, in the perfect size for your space. With Android TV, you can discover 700,000+ movies and shows in one place. Ask Google to control your TV with your voice. And cast your photos, videos, and music from devices to your TV easily with Chromecast built-in~. Add to that Dolby Vision HDR and Auto Low Latency Game Mode. Or as we call it, a great looking TV.
I'm considering buying this TV but I'm not sure if I can get surround sound signals from the optical port. I don't have an ARC or eARC receiver and rely on optical connection. The TV I have now downmixes everything to stereo out of the optical port.

Does this tv support 5.1 channel surround sound? I've tried everything possible and can only get stereo PCM out of this TV. Whether it's apps, live tv, PlayStation or a blu-ray player I get nothing but stereo even though the TV is set to pass thru. Optica

Answering my own question here.
The answer is no. This TV will not process anything but stereo PCM. I've tried everything humanly possible including reaching out to TCL support.
My content is Dolby digital but this TV will not output anything but stereo over optical or ARC or eARC.
TCL needs to update the TV.

Im trying to find out if this routers guest network uses a browser based password prompt or system based. In other words, when you connect to the guest network does it prompt for password immediately or does it prompt you after you open a web browser?
Answering my own question in case its helpful to someone else.
This routers guest wifi network prompts for password immediately and does not wait for you to open a browser to connect.
