This was an easy changeover because I had an external drive carrier already. The instructions were clear enough and the included software functioned adequately.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A good escapist tale about a futuristic man being dropped into a pre-tech world and having to cope. Easy to put myself into the main character position and enjoy the film that way.

A well done, well cast film that kept moving and me interested, even re-watching. The Bonus Features really added to the value of the purchase.

This is a great film and I am glad to find it on Blu-Ray, however, the lack of Special Features kind of left me feeling wanting and disappointed. I now have to keep my DVD version just to have the Special Features, which is most of the reason that I buy a film on disk. I won't recommend this film based on that lack.

Not meant to be a scholarly interpretation, this purely escapist imagining of the Arthur and Merlin legend is an excellent blend of magic, heroes journey, and good overcoming evil. Well cast.

A nice laptop with good features. Cannot understand why Bluetooth isn't a standard on laptops, this one could use it and it isn't there. It also could use a second hard drive, I don't like cloud services, bad plan when on budgeted access Internet connections.

What it the battery's voltage? Is there a way to hook an external battery to it to allow longer run-time?

I'd like to use it in a motorhome and have the 12 volt batteries as the back-up power source. That would allow me to run the motorhome off AC when parked and off the UPS when driving.
This is made for computer use.

If I read your question right:
Two twelve volt, 6ah batteries in series operating a 24 volt system,
No you cannot use additional outside batteries,
Figure about 6 minutes if you use it like you stated before the internal batteries explode into a fireball (which may void the warranty)

They make systems for motor home power to operate from deep-cycle batteries, sold at places that sell motor home stuff.

Does this back up us float charging to prevent over charging?

Yes.

This is APC, not Harbor Freight.

Is the unit completely silent during normal operation, no running fans? And will only beep during a power outage? Thank you

Runs completely silent.
No running fan noises, because there isn't a fan in this model.
Beeps during power outages/brown-outs, old battery warnings, and all other errors.
Just like the spec-sheet and the free-and-easily-downloadable manual say.

HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY HAVE TO CHARGE BEFORE A FULL CHARGE IS ACHEIVED

Per the manual (you do know that all smart people always read the manual, right?) It is recommended that an initial overnight charge is recommended before first use.
