This is a good software package with many useful apps included. But you may encounter installation issues, as I did. If either of the two serial numbers (keys) are flagged as invalid, you have to go to the nearest Best Buy physical store to have your purchase cancelled, and get a new digital product. The problem can not be fixed via chat or phone. Also, Corel will not provide you with a solution. I spent a week before I was told what I had to do.
Also, the installation of the many apps can be intimidating to one not experienced with folders and file structures. The installation sets up a sub-sub directory that contains a number of folders. Inside most of them is an executable file used to install a particular program in the package. The purchaser has to go to each in turn to do the complete installation. Be sure to install the PaintShop Pro program first - it is the main one, and needs a valid serial number to proceed.
Despite my problems installing the package I would recommend purchase of this package, particularly if you can get it on sale. I find it to be a very useful set of tools.

The first thing I noticed was is how amazingly compact and solid this external SSD drive is. I use it for keeping backups of my laptop - I have two of these drives and alternate between them. The drive is very fast - typically 1000MB/s on my fast USB 3.2 connection. The drive is very thin, and takes up very little space in the outer pocket of my laptop bag. It is excellent value.

This budget floor lamp is a very good value. It is stable and looks good. The cord is a good length, but you need to be careful in the assembly to get the maximum length. I found this to be a good buy.

I purchased this bag for my new HP Omnibook X Flip 2-in-1 16" laptop. The laptop is a perfect fit, and is well protected inside the bag. Because this laptop has a 16-10 profile, it is a little higher inside the bag but still fits well. There is enough space in the side pouch for a compact mouse. The bag has very good construction. I consider it to be a good buy.

This is an excellent single-serve coffee maker. I have been
using it with generic K-cups from my local supermarket,
and its performance has been excellent. I make two cups
each morning, and each cup is done in about 2 minutes.
The results taste excellent!
The two buttons for brewing are on the front. The
reservoir gage is easily readable on the side. The
coffee maker uses all the water in the reservoir in
making each cup of coffee. The reservoir is easily
filled from the top. Insertion and removal of K-cups
is very easy.
A special pod is included that you can load with
ground coffee. It is to be found inside the large
pedestal the cup sits upon. I have not yet tried it,
but can confirm that it fits nicely in the machine.
The size of the coffee maker will work with even
a crowded countertop. Its red color will fit in well
with most kitchens.
It is of excellent value, and well worth the price!

This case is an excellent fit to the Motorola Moto G
5G (2024). Each of the openings on the bottom
provide plenty of clearance. In particular, I have no
problems plugging in my headphones, or plugging
in my USB C cable. The side volume buttons are
precisely positioned with those of the phone - there
are no issues adjusting volume. The cutout on the
side for the power button/fingerprint sensor works
extremely well. The cutout on the back for the cameras
is fine. The cutout on the top for the top microphone
is fine. The case looks great on the phone!

Is this a good ereader

This is an excellent tablet, but may prove awkward to use as an ereader for extended periods of time. It is overly large for that purpose, has an awkward aspect ratio for that purpose, and is somewhat heavy. I have found that the Samsung Tab A7 Lite to be far more serviceable as an ereader - it is about the size and proportions of a paperback novel, and can be easily held in one hand for extended periods of time. I have both the Tab S6 Lite and the Tab A7 Lite, and am doing all my book reading with the Tab A7 Lite.

Im planning to buy these tablet to send it to the phillippines. Wer using 220volts in the phils. Here in USA we use 110 volts.

The charging plug provided is "Universal" - it works for 100-240volts, 50-60Hz. So it will work almost anywhere. However, you may need to get a simple adapter to use it with your outlets (convert the 2-prong US plug to the one you need). These can be obtained for around $10.

I know VERY little about tablets etc. I am looking for something that is light and about the size of a standard book page that I can basically read books on. Recomendations?

This tablet has a size and proportions almost the same as a paperback novel. It is light and easy to hold in one hand. I replaced my dead nook with it, and it works very well for reading my many ebooks. Unlike my dead nook, this is also capable of doing a great many other things: browsing the web, reading email, make video calls, watch YouTube videos, listen to audiobooks, .... I would recommend it for your purposes.

Will you be able to upgrade the os to Android 12?

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.

can you load and run apps on the sd card

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.

I need a tablet with a web cam. Do any of best buys tablets have web cams? If so, which ones?

This has a front facing camera that functions well as a web cam. I use it with Skype to make video calls. It also has a rear facing camera that works well.
