The first thing I noticed was is how amazingly compact and solid this external SSD drive is. I use it for keeping backups of my laptop - I have two of these drives and alternate between them. The drive is very fast - typically 1000MB/s on my fast USB 3.2 connection. The drive is very thin, and takes up very little space in the outer pocket of my laptop bag. It is excellent value.

This budget floor lamp is a very good value. It is stable and looks good. The cord is a good length, but you need to be careful in the assembly to get the maximum length. I found this to be a good buy.

I purchased this bag for my new HP Omnibook X Flip 2-in-1 16" laptop. The laptop is a perfect fit, and is well protected inside the bag. Because this laptop has a 16-10 profile, it is a little higher inside the bag but still fits well. There is enough space in the side pouch for a compact mouse. The bag has very good construction. I consider it to be a good buy.

This is an excellent single-serve coffee maker. I have been
using it with generic K-cups from my local supermarket,
and its performance has been excellent. I make two cups
each morning, and each cup is done in about 2 minutes.

The two buttons for brewing are on the front. The

is very easy.

This case is an excellent fit to the Motorola Moto G
5G (2024). Each of the openings on the bottom
provide plenty of clearance. In particular, I have no
problems plugging in my headphones, or plugging
in my USB C cable. The side volume buttons are
precisely positioned with those of the phone - there
are no issues adjusting volume. The cutout on the
side for the power button/fingerprint sensor works
extremely well. The cutout on the back for the cameras
is fine. The cutout on the top for the top microphone
is fine. The case looks great on the phone!
