Bought this for my 82yo mom so she can stay in touch, read the news, and play games. She loves the big and bright touch display and that it runs quiet and cool. I'm sure it would be great for lots of uses, but it's senior-approved as far as she's concerned.

Good sound for its size. The sleep mode sensing seems to work well. With several other Google devices around the home the interconnected features meet in this hub. A feature request for version 3 would be a camera...

Bought this on sale for an incredibly low amount (under $15) to make coffee when guests are in town. Brews quickly and quietly. Nice cup of drip coffee. Included mesh basket is super-fine so no need to buy disposable filters. No fancy settings other than clock and auto start, but that's all and more than I needed.

An incredibly sharp and compact 85mm lens for portraits and light telephoto duty. Tack sharp with spectacular color and contrast. With recent Sony full-frame cameras and their high ISO capabilities, you won't miss the 2/3 stop from the 1.4 and you'll definitely appreciate that it takes up considerably less room in your bag and weighs half as much as it's more expensive counterpart.

Incredible camera with the fastest and most accurate autofocus I've ever used. Switched from D-SLR system and haven't looked back. The only downsides are shorter battery life and a bit of startup lag.

Had originally purchased a less expensive model of steamer and it wasn't effective on curtains and heavier materials. The Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam removes wrinkles quickly from any material. Convenient water reservoir and portable for use anywhere.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: A perfect everyday lens for any photographer, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G offers fast autofocusing combined with an integrated lens coating to deliver clear and crisp images. The wide-open aperture is ideal for low-light shooting and creating images with beautiful background blur.
 

Is this compatible with the D7000

Yes, it is compatible. The effective focal length of any lens placed on a DX sensor camera (like the D7000) is to multiply by 1.5x. So this lens will offer the same perspective as a 75mm lens on a full-frame camera. If you want a 50mm equivalent for your D7000, look at the Nikon 35mm 1.8G DX lens.

CyberPowerPC - Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7-8700K - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA RTX 2070 - 2TB HDD + 480GB SSD - White
Work or play games with this CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme desktop computer. It has a 2TB SATA hard drive + 480GB SSD and provides plenty of space for media storage, and the 32GB of DDR4 SDRAM let you run multiple intensive programs without lagging. This CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme desktop computer has a GeForce RTX 2070 graphics and produces stunning visuals to bring game environments to life.
 

I did not see any specifics on the monitor outputs. Can this support multiple monitors and what is the configuration (HDMI/DVI)? Second question is about the USBs? What configuration of 3.1 and are these Superspeed+ (10GB)?

I have a dual 4K monitor setup working using one DisplayPort and one HDMI. I tried with two DisplayPorts and didn't have initial luck, but I'm new to the Windows/PC world so it could be a problem I have yet to solve. Both monitors are resolving at 4K and there seems to be no lag, so I'm calling it good for now.

Sometimes the description says the PC is black, and sometines that it is white, which one is it?

The case is white.
