Basic bootup speeds won’t cut it — not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that’s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.

I have had this radio for about 5.5 years now, and I have
found it to be solid and reliable. I live in a region that has
a number of tornado alerts each year, as well as other
weather related alerts. This radio does a very good job
of providing warnings, and monitoring the situations as
they are in progress. I am impressed by how long the
battery holds its charge (when not in use). I top it up
about every 6 months. This is a very good choice as
an emergency weather alert radio.

This is a good and compact emergency radio. It has
a large rechargeable battery (2600 mAh). It picks up
all the NOAA weather stations in your area. It can
monitor those stations and issue a loud alert when
these stations warn of approaching dangerous weather.
It can also receive AM and FM radio stations in your area.
The battery can be charged 3 ways: via USB, via a
hand crank, or via a small solar panel. It is a good value.

 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.

The fast Intel Core i5-8400 processor and Intel UHD 630 graphics card easily handle complex software, and you can store your photos and files on the big 1TB hard drive or make use of the seven-in-one card reader to save on other storage media. Connect this Lenovo IdeaCentre computer wirelessly to other devices using the built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
 

How big is the power supply in this unit? Can I add a Nvidia 1050 GPU without upgrading the Factory power supply?

The unit has an internal 180 Watt power supply. I believe you would have to replace it with a higher power supply to run such a card. I did a little research on upgrading the power supply for this machine. It is not so easy. I would recommend sticking with the built in graphics. The machine was not designed for higher end gaming.
