I got this to make a clone of the system drive in my
computer, something I do every six months as part
of my backup procedures. This drive is fast and reliable.
It is economical, and yet a quality component. It is a good

Before talking about this great power station, let me alert
you to instructions you need to follow to the letter. At the
bottom of page 2 of the manual you are instructed to
charge the power station to 100% before using. Mine
arrived at about 80%, so I ignored the instructions and then spent a half hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't
deliver any power. I finally noticed a hard to read sticker
on the back of the unit that said to "Activate" the unit you
first had to recharge it (completely). After doing this the
power station worked perfectly.

This power station is well suited for home power outages,
travel, and camping. It has a good collection of outlets
to serve most needs. I particularly like the included
"night light". It draws only 3W, and provides adequate
lighting for a small area - see my photos of it in a dark kitchen on and off. It can provide about 62 hours of light
if nothing else draws power. This can be very helpful
during an evening power outage.

The ViewSonic VX1655 is a 15.6" portable monitor with 1080p resolution for incredible visual performance on the go. An ultra-thin panel with the hardware integrated into the kickstand provides incredible stability, discreetly hides cable connectivity, and still allows for use in portrait and landscape modes. A convenient tripod mount is integrated into the stand for additional versatility. In addition, versatile connectivity options include two USB-C ports for 2-way charging, as well as mini-HDMI and a headphone jack. Measuring less than an inch thick and weighing under two pounds, the ultra-slim VX1655 perfectly fits into any bag, briefcase, or backpack so you can work wherever life takes you.
Does this display do portrait mode? If so, how? The built in stand does not appear to support it.

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?
I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?
I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
