Lenovo - Flex 4 1470 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black
Adapt this Lenovo 14-inch two-in-one notebook to your environment. The integrated keyboard ensures it's easy to use as a laptop, yet when you need a little more room, flip over the keyboard, and use the touchscreen just like you would on a tablet. A powerful Intel Core i5 processor keeps this this Lenovo 14-inch two-in-one notebook running smoothly.

This laptop works well for us and our company. I have gotten into the habit of purchasing Lenovo. For a while, I pulled up several different makers of laptops but now I find myself just looking for Lenovo. I get very little complaints. Great laptop.

This works great for all the products I used it on. Surfaces, Phones and tablets. They work great. Even have saved a couple screens on the phone. The protector broke and sent it and they replace it at the price of shipping (4.95). Well Worth it when a screen replacement costs over $100 and there's no guarantee it will work properly after. But that's another story. I buy these for the company I support and they work.

This is a great case. Although we don't use these cases to go swimming in we do use them around water and dirt and mud. These cases hold up for the most part. They at least protect the phone. The wear and tear some of my techs run them through, I feel they hold up very well. Plus, these new ones look much better than the older ones do. There is no front protective plastic so I would advise purchasing a protection for the screen.

I used these female connectors to connect two Audio/Video cables together. They worked great. They not only connect Audio but also connect Video so you are able to extend a chord that is not long enough. I would purchase these again.

Position your GPS receiver for easy viewing in your vehicle with this friction mount.
 

How do I detach the GPS Drive 50LM from the mount's ball? I know there must be a release somewhere but I can't figure it out. Thanks.

You need to pull it gently from the ball. Hold on to everything as you do it to not drop or jerk too hard and let go of the gps.

Be more flexible with this Lenovo 15.6-inch two-in-one notebook. It's a tent, a tablet and a laptop all in one, giving you plenty of options when you want to work, play or show off presentations. A rapid Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM keeps this Lenovo 15.6-inch two-in-one notebook running quickly.
 

Does this laptop have a button on the keyboard in addition to a touchpad? I don't like touchpads so when I don't have a mouse I like to use this feature.

Sorry to say that it doesn't have a button on the keyboard. For me that is fine but sounds like you are looking for a laptop that does have that. It is a great Laptop.

 Amazon - Echo Dot (2nd generation) - Smart Speaker with Alexa - White
Amazon - Echo Dot (2nd generation) - Smart Speaker with Alexa - White
Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.
 

I got an Echo Dot for Christmas along with a Phillips hue light bulb. Originally the idea was to be able to say Alexa turn on the lights. Now I need to purchase a bridge but I think I want to add maybe surveillance. What brand would be the best to buy?

Since you already have the dot and Alexa setup, just ask her what surveillance systems she supports.
