This 2TB SATA SSD provides reliable and fast storage for my photographs and small video files. The 5yr manufacturer's warranty is excellent. Its temperature rarely exceeds 30deg C in my tower. I ran some speed tests on it, and the results are in excellent agreement with what is advertised. It is a great value buy.

This film is enchanting from start to finish! The story is a new, and fascinating take on the granting of wishes by a genie (or djinn). The acting is excellent, as is the cinematography and the musical score. You are sure to be deeply engrossed in the film from start to finish!

 Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack [12 Discs] [DVD]
Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack [12 Discs] [DVD]
This 12-disc set contains 50 classic horror films including White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney Sr., Bluebeard with John Carradine, Nosferatu, The Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and many more. The technical quality of the discs are underwhelming, but this set is certainly a case of quantity over quality.

I really do like this collection of classic horror and
mystery movies and consider it a good value. I
recommend its purchase if you like this content.
However, the collection does have a few issues.
First of all, the picture of the box on the product
description web page shows the "Anniversary
Edition", with that label on the bottom of the box.
I did not receive that edition, as can be seen in the
attached photo of my box. To be fair, careful
examination of the printed description of the
product never says "Anniversary Edition". I
deducted half a star for this error.
Second, there is no document in the box that
catalogs the contents of each of the 12
double-sided dvds. The listing on the back of
the box does not provide that information.
The purchaser of the collection has to carefully
examine the printing on the narrow band around
the hole of each dvd to see what is on that side
of the dvd. The marketer of this collection could have
easily and cheaply provided that information on a
single sheet of paper! For this omission I deducted
another half star.
I deducted a full star for the poor packaging of the
disks themselves. There are 12 double-sided dvds
in the set. They are placed into 6 stiff cardboard
holders, with a disk on each side. Half of each disk
is exposed in these holders, and when placed in the
box is in physical contact with a disk in the adjacent
holder. As a result, the disks are in danger of getting
scratched. I think it would have been cheaper and
safer to have a proper dvd envelope for each disk.
Some other observations are worthy of note.
The printing on the narrow band around the
hole of the dvd is clear and looks long lasting.
The dvds have a simple but functional menu
system. They typically have only a few (typically
4) chapters set up for each film. There are
typically 2 films on each side of the dvds.
Even with the issues detailed here I would
recommend the purchase of this collection.
It is hard to find physical media for these films,
and they may become hard to find on-line
to stream in the future.

 Insignia - Mouse Pad - Marble
Insignia - Mouse Pad - Marble
Ensure smooth gliding and less friction with this Insignia mouse pad. The marble decoration keeps it looking pretty, but it prevents your optical or laser mouse from getting clogged up with dust or dirt to ensure smooth operation. A low-friction surface on this Insignia mouse pad reduces tugging when you're using your mouse.

This lamp is an excellent addition to my desktop computer station. The station is wide, with two monitors and a tower with external speakers. This lamp has a long bulb on a configurable arm that provides excellent lighting of my wide space. The white color of the emitted light allows accurate viewing of color on the desk - which is useful when comparing photos to what I see on my monitor screens. Also the light is not harsh, even on the highest setting. I recommend this lamp highly.

This laptop is very well engineered for travel. It is compact, yet has a screen that is large enough to
provide comfortable viewing. As a 2-in-1 laptop it
serves very well as a means of entertainment (via
"tent" mode) and as a means of presentation or
for video meetings (via "presentation" mode). The construction is solid, and shows well thought out
engineering. It also looks sharp!
The display is bright, colorful, sharp, and detailed. It
works well for viewing films, text, videos, or zoom
calls.
The keyboard is solid, with all the keys most travelers
need. I have no need for a numeric keypad, and prefer
its absence so as to have a full-sized keyboard.
This laptop is very well equipped with a full set of high
speed ports. It also comes equipped with a full sized
HDMI port and a 3.5mm headset jack. I have used one
of the usb-c ports to drive and power a 15.6" display
panel as well!
The speakers demonstrate the ingenuity of the HP
engineers. You need to examine them closely to
appreciate what the engineers have accomplished here.
First, they understood that the purchasers of this 2-in-1
laptop would spend an appreciable amount of time
watching movies and videos in "tent" mode. When set
up in this geometry the speakers located below the
keyboard will face forward and provide superior sound.
In "presentation" mode, with the keyboard facing down
against a table, the speakers face up and outwards
and provide good sound. Finally in "normal" mode,
with the keyboard facing up, the speakers are at an angle
to the table and slightly above its surface. For a hard
surface, this provides a way to get good sound. Of
course, if this computer sits on a lap or on a blanket,
the sound may be muffled.
For my purposes this laptop does an excellent job,
and I recommend it highly.

This computer sleeve is an excellent fit to my new Lenovo
IdeaPad Flex 5 14" Chromebook. This laptop has a little
more depth to it as it has a 16:10 display, but sits nicely
within the sleeve and comfortably beneath the zipper.
The sleeve provides ample cushioning on all sides. This
very handsome sleeve is an exceptional value at its
clearance price! I am sure it will sell out soon - so grab
one while you can!

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.

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.
