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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Unleash your artistic flair by creating one-of-a-kind, attention-grabbing instant photos as unique as you are with the INSTAX MINI 99 instant camera. This premium instant camera lets you capture photos in their true, analog format. Six awe-inspiring Color Effect settings let you fuel your creative freedom (they~re all powered by color-changing LEDs located inside the camera). Plus, one normal setting lets you keep things ~real~. Next, it~s all about the Shooting Modes. From Bulb to Indoor, Double Exposure to Sports, there~s five to choose from and they~re easy to switch between. It~s also worth noting that the INSTAX MINI 99 instant camera offers five levels of brightness: ~L+~ for the brightest exposure, ~D-~ for the darkest. In between you~ll find ~L~, ~D~, and ~N~ if you~re looking for standard brightness levels.When it comes to powering up, simply turn the Lens dial. Stop at ~3.0m to ~~ (Landscape) for distances, ~0.3m to 0.6m~ (Macro) for close ups and selfies, or ~0.6m to 3.0m~ (Standard) for everything in between. Want to deepen the look? Use the Manual Vignette switch to narrow the lens aperture for a powerful artistic look. Want to alter the tone? Take control of the flash function to match the look you envision.Its classic camera style makes the INSTAX MINI 99 instant camera great to look at, and the stunning matte black finish with sleek dials and buttons gives an incredible, tactile quality. The two identical Shutter buttons help you switch from Portrait to Landscape orientation for those must-have shots. And along with a handy tripod mount (tripod sold separately), this instant camera comes with a precision-milled Base Grip with Tripod Mount that also acts as a grip when attached to the camera.

I do not see where the privacy feature for the camera is. Is it a button that needs to be pressed? Because I see nothing that covers the camera.
The version of this laptop I got from Best Buy does not have the sliding switch to put a physical screen in front of the camera. I believe this is the case for this version of the laptop for Best Buy. You can disable the camera in Settings, if you wish.
