HP - Spectre x360 2-in-1 15.6" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB Solid State Drive
Consolidate your workstation with this HP Spectre laptop. The Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM optimize the ability to multitask, and the micro-edge display maximizes screen size to take advantage of a smaller frame. The 512GB solid-state drive on this HP Spectre laptop has no moving parts for fast file access.Learn more about Windows Ink.
The PCI solid state drive means that this computer boots almost instantly. No more waiting! Computer is very light weight for its power and fits very well in my backpack without breaking my back. Screen gives crisp and clear images and the computer runs smoothly and very silently (unlike some others which have loud fans). If you need a wired ethernet port (as I do for work) buy a j5 Create to add the RJ45 jack, another HDMI port and 2 more USB 3 ports. If you plug the computer's AC power adapter into the USB C port of the j5 Create you still have a spare USB C Thunderbolt port.
Add extra functionality to your laptop with the USB-C Multi-Adapter. This device allows you to add two additional USB peripherals, a 4K or 1080p HDMI display, and Gigabit Ethernet through your USB-C port. With high-speed transmission up to 5 Gbps, data transfer is quick and easy. With USB Power Delivery 3.0, it supports upstream streaming ensuing your connected laptop powered up while in use.
Worked right out the box. My newest computer does not have a ethernet port which is required for work. This is Thunderbolt 3 compatible which matches my HP Spectra x360 and is fast. If you plug the computer's power supply into this you still have an available USB c Thunderbolt port. It seems to handle the HP's 90 W power draw (gets a little warm but if you slap on a heat sink it works just fine).

Insignia™ - 6' 3.5mm Mini Audio Extension Cable - Black
Only @ Best BuyDesigned for use with a wide range of devices, including most portable audio devices, phones and tablets, this 6' Insignia™ NS-HZ304 cable lets you extend the length of most audio cables with a 3.5mm mini connector for enhanced flexibility.
Needed a cheap way to extend the cable of my earbuds (non Bluetooth) so I wasn't always accidentally jerking them out of my ears when I moved.

GE - 8-Device Universal Remote - Brushed Silver
Easily control up to 8 of your home entertainment devices with this GE 30758 universal remote, which works with most TVs, DVRs, cable and satellite receivers, stereo receivers, DVD and Blu-ray players and streaming devices.
Easy to set up with my TV. However the "speed dial" functions do not work well if you have digital channels that have more than 3 numbers.

PNY - Elite Turbo Attache 4 16GB USB 3.0 Type A Flash Drive - Black
Transfer schoolwork, home video or photographs to this PNY Turbo flash drive, and keep them safe until you're ready to access. This portable flash drive features a capless design with sliding collar for easy transport. The 16GB storage capacity of this PNY Turbo flash drive makes it an ideal drive for home use.
Very fast stick drive that works with all of my computers both at home and at work. Despite the claim that using a usb 3 stick on a usb 2 computer does not add speed I did notice a difference between a 16GB usb 2 stick and this 16 GB usb 3 stick. The usb 2 stick is always slower to open. Would recommend this even if all you currently have is usb 2!

Insignia™ - Deluxe Hard Shell Case for Most Portable Hard Drives - Black
Shield your portable hard drive from damage while you're on the move with this Insignia™ NS-PCCHDC7 case that features polyurethane and EVA materials for dependable protection. The modular design accommodates hard drives of varying sizes.
This case is protecting a 2 TB USB 3 portable hard drive that I use for backing up my most important files. I live in a basement (with a concrete floor) so I bought the most protective shell I could find. It was priced right and it is not hard to use (easy to open and close). It also secures the drive inside so that it doesn't bang around inside the shell.

I don't have access to the router in the lower level office but we share the wireless upstairs and I have the password. I want to connect a Hue lighting system and I need to connect to a router to run it. Will this work without accessing the router?
I set up this with A WIn 7 and Win 10 and a Linux computer without access to the WiFi router. Just as long as you have good signal strength and the Wifi password you should be OK as long as it is compatible with the Hue.

Is the part inserted into the USB port metal? Some PNY drives are all plastic.
Yes it is. This is a quality drive. I have owned several PNY drives over the years and have never had any trouble with them.
