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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Charge 2 devices at once: With 2 USB ports for you to take advantage of, you can power up to 2 different devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets and more all at once.
 

Does it put out 2.4A in each port, if both ports are in use?

How does one get to the memory slot inside the laptop to add a 8GB stick of RAM? Does one have to remove the entire bottom plate of the laptop? Or, is there a small plate that is easily removed that gives the user direct access to the memory slot?

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?

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
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

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.
