I have a high end Sony smart tv, but have long been unhappy with its ability to stream over my Wi-Fi. This Roku Streaming Stick 4k (2021) has eliminated that problem! It has a superior antenna for Wi-Fi reception and transmission, and a much better processor for Wi-Fi that allows me now to stream with no drops and no buffering.
Also, I am very impressed with the simplicity of the menu system of the Roku, and the fact that they are not cluttered with distracting ads.
I highly recommend this device!

The Tab S6 Lite is an excellent midrange tablet. It has a very good screen, and very good speakers. It is well suited for watching movies, videos, Youtube, and other media. It is well suited for listening to music, and even has a headphone jack when privacy and battery economy are desired. It comes with Android 11 and Samsung One UI 3.1 --> and as a result has Samsung Dex installed. With this and the addition of a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, you have almost laptop capability for productivity.
In one of the attached photos you see my home screen with a few widgets, illustrating the clarity of the screen. In another photo you see the pulldown menu, showing the button to enable Dex. In another you see the home screen for VUDU, a good source for movies without a subscription. And in a fourth photo you see the home screen for albums of the included app Samsung Music -- which is able to play WMA files, as well as many others.
Accessories I would recommend with purchase include a case (I got a Ztotop case for this laptop), a microSDXC memory card (to expand storage), and a OTG (On The Go) flash drive (to facilitate transfer of files). To enable productivity, pick up a bluetooth keyboard, a bluetooth mouse, and a tablet stand.
This tablet serves all my needs for the forseeable future, and I recommend it highly.

I got this to use with my new Samsung Tab A7 Lite - and it has worked out very well. This slim stylus fits my hand well, and is used for playing games, reading, negotiating web sites, and other things that need one to touch the screen. It also fits snugly in the storage loop on the folio case for my laptop.

The Tab A7 Lite is a good choice for an ereader. Its size and proportions are close to those of a paperback novel. One can hold it in one hand and read comfortably for lengthy periods of time. It is priced close to or lower than many e-ink readers, yet provides far more utility than they are capable of. It is far more responsive and powerful than an e-ink reader of comparable cost. The attached photos show it compared to a paperback novel, when mounted in a protective folio cover from Ztotop. If you are looking for a candidate as an ereader, this is a good choice.

I was looking for a way to add some modern features to my vintage stereo receiver - and this device really delivers! I connected this to the AUX input on my receiver and in minutes was able to pair it to my Sony walkman, and my Samsung phone. The quality of the sound was very, very good. I had no problem adjusting the volume (using the controls on the device, on my phone or walkman, or on the receiver). It has added new life to my home stereo system!

Spider-Man: Far from Home - BLU-RAY [Standard]
A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears.

Can this laptop handle a lightweight photoshop? 16 y/o niece has been enjoying graphics class at school. For her first laptop, would this handle a lightweight photoshop?
I would suggest considering the program Lightroom.
This laptop meets the minimum hardware requirements for this program. This laptop does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for the more demanding program Photoshop. For that you would need a laptop with a Core i5 processor.

Will this be able to handle Lightroom or Photoshop editing???
This laptop meets the minimum hardware requirements to handle the program Lightroom. I am afraid the demands of the program Photoshop will be too much for it. For that you would need a computer with at least a Core i5 processor, and 16GB of RAM.

Can this run world of Warcraft well enough
The minimum system requirements for this game state that you need at least a Core i5 processor with at least 4 cores. This laptop has only a Core i3 processor with 2 cores. So it would not be able to run the game well enough.

Does this laptop run windows and is it good for sims 4
Although this laptop meets the minimum requirements to run Sims 4, it will struggle to run the program. The main issue is that the Core i3 processor in this laptop is not powerful enough to deal with the program well. The recommendation is to have a machine with a Core i5 processor.
