I have used WD drives for over 40 years, both internal and external, and they have never failed me. I got this drive as a second disk for my new computer. I plan to install Linux on it, and configure the machine to dual boot. I chose this particular drive for its speed - 7200rpm. I know it will work in the configuration I plan, as I have done it before. I got it at a very good price during the Black Friday sale.

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.

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.

 Eton - Elite Field Radio - Gray
Eton - Elite Field Radio - Gray
Ready and tested, the Eton Elite Field BT Radio receives most every radio wavelength~AM (MW), FM and Shortwave (SW)~at home or abroad. It's easy to set the station spacing and frequency so your stations come in loud and clear wherever you are. And with the radio's Bluetooth capability, you can stream your own music or favorite podcast. If Digital Radio is more your style, tune into HD Radio in North America or DAB+ internationally. With high sensitivity, strong anti-interference, low background noise and even lower distortion, listening on the Elite Field BT is a real pleasure. Plus, its wide/narrow bandwidth selection improves audio fidelity and minimizes noise. The Elite Field Bluetooth Radio features RDS for FM. RDS stands for Radio Data System and it enables FM broadcasters to deliver more than just an analog audio signal, but also to transmit digital data, like the station~s call letters, style of music, song title, artist and more. With local and world time settings, radio and buzzer alarm clock settings, sleep timer and snooze light, the Elite Field BT keeps you in time, in any time zone. And if you want to prevent the radio or alarm from turning on all together, just hit Lock. When it comes to tuning in to your favorite frequency, you can take it fast~or slow. The dial-in-dial tuning knob lets you select your speed~fast, slow or stop to keep it in a locked position. The Elite Field BT radio includes a built-in hand strap for carrying your radio with ease and can operate on AC with the included adapter or 4 D batteries, sold separately.

If I turn off the S mode will it work normally or it affects its performance.. and What the consequences will be if you turn off the S mode?

A positive feature of S mode is that a number of processes deemed unnecessary will not be running. As a result, the laptop will boot a little faster, run a little faster, and have a little longer battery life. Try it for a little while and then make the decision whether to stay on it or not.

I don't think it matters what generation the core processor is - just find a case for a 15.6inch laptop that you like.

Is there an LINE input jack on this unit?

On many laptop machines, the headset output jack can be
configured in the Device Manager to serve as a stereo
input jack. That is how I got my laptop (an hp) to work with the program Audacity. It blew my mind when I learned about this!

Do I need a technician to set this laptop up. I'm not super technical but my previous laptop was a Lenovo. And I just do the basics. No games or stuff like that. Just email and favorite websites.

My sister has little tech skills, and she had no difficulty setting this laptop up. You should be fine. Just be sure to have your wifi id and password ready, as well as your Microsoft account id and password.

How long does battery stay charged

It will depend on how the laptop is being used, and on the power settings used. If you run it with the display screen at max brightness, you will run the battery out faster than if the screen is run at half brightness. If you are streaming movies you will use up the battery faster than if you are just reading emails or working on a simple document. The number given by the manufacturer is probably what is obtained under optimal conditions.
