I have wanted this unit for some time, and was finally able to get it at an excellent price during the Black Friday sale. It provides excellent backup for my new PC and new monitor, and their external drives. My equipment has relatively low power draw, and I get almost an hour of run time when losing power, which is more than sufficient to backup crucial files, and power everything down safely.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This monitor is my first 4K monitor, and it gives me absolutely stunning images. I am using it with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop elements., and it is well paired with them. I thought I might be overwhelmed by the size of the screen, coming from a 15" screen on a laptop - but I very quickly got accustomed to it, and find myself doing all my editing using my new monitor.

This machine is impressive. It is very well made - with a very pleasing exterior, and a very clean and well laid out interior. It provides more features at this price point than you can find elsewhere. For example - it gives two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and a USB C port on the front! The engineering is well thought out. For example, the memory is two paired 4GB sticks, to optimize throughput. The machine is snappy and does the jobs it was designed for very well. One thing to take note of is that the machine is not designed for high end gaming, and really can't be upgraded to do so - it has a 180W interior power supply and a proprietary motherboard. But it does all the tasks characteristic of a home pc very well, and somewhat beyond. I am doing photo editing using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, and they work very well. I have paired the PC with a 28" Samsung 4K monitor, and the images are stunning. For the price, you won't find a better machine anywhere.

This tablet just came out in 2021 with Android 11 installed, and Samsung is promising 3 upgrades of the operating system. I suspect an upgrade to Android 12 by summer 2022.

Samsung - Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7" 64 GB - Wi-Fi - Dark Gray

can you load and run apps on the sd card

Top 250 Contributor

Unfortunately, the answer is no. But with the 64GB model, only 18GB are occupied by the system. So you have ~46GB of storage for apps. But it would be wise to get an sd card to store photos, videos, audio, etc. I would recommend at least a 64GB micro sd card.

Scosche - PowerUp 700 Car Jump Starter w/USB Power Bank and LED Flashlight - Black

does the port for the jumper cable on the device accept a connector with a female 12 volt connection..... as opposed to the clamps for jump starting? Some devices like this do allow this. Does this one?

Top 250 Contributor

There is a pin port next to the port for charging the device, that you can plug a connector with a female 12 volt connection. My unit came with such a connector.

Samsung - Adaptive Fast Charging Wall Charger - White

Whether you're at home or on the go, this compact Samsung 33-0660-05-XP adaptive fast charging wall charger can get your phone back to a full charge quickly. Use the included micro USB cable to sync and transfer files.

Is this compatible with s6 lite tablet

Top 250 Contributor

The charging block will work for your tablet, but the cable that comes with the charger will not. You will need to find a cable with usb-c on one end, and usb-A on the other; the cable also needs to be rated to handle adaptive fast charging of 15W. The cable that came with your tablet might serve that purpose.
