This lamp is an excellent addition to my desktop computer station. The station is wide, with two monitors and a tower with external speakers. This lamp has a long bulb on a configurable arm that provides excellent lighting of my wide space. The white color of the emitted light allows accurate viewing of color on the desk - which is useful when comparing photos to what I see on my monitor screens. Also the light is not harsh, even on the highest setting. I recommend this lamp highly.

The speakers demonstrate the ingenuity of the HP
engineers. You need to examine them closely to
appreciate what the engineers have accomplished here.
First, they understood that the purchasers of this 2-in-1
laptop would spend an appreciable amount of time
watching movies and videos in "tent" mode. When set
up in this geometry the speakers located below the
keyboard will face forward and provide superior sound.
In "presentation" mode, with the keyboard facing down
against a table, the speakers face up and outwards
and provide good sound. Finally in "normal" mode,
with the keyboard facing up, the speakers are at an angle
to the table and slightly above its surface. For a hard
surface, this provides a way to get good sound. Of
course, if this computer sits on a lap or on a blanket,
the sound may be muffled.

This refurbished Lenovo chromebook is a real bargain.
Its specifications exceed the qualifications for a
Chromebook Plus in that it has 256GB of storage in
a NVMe m.2 ssd. Its processor is only one generation
younger than the 13th generation Intel Core i3 in the
most current Lenovo version of this laptop. The only
thing that might give one pause is that this laptop is
"Refurbished" -- I found that this should not stop you
from grabbing one of these while they are still available!

My laptop arrived in a plain brown box. The packing of
the laptop and its power supply was the best I have
ever seen (see photo)! The chromebook and its power
supply were surrounded by the best bubblewrap I have
ever seen. There was no movement possible in the box,
and the dense bubble wrap provided extraordinary
protection on all sides.

I purchased this mouse to use with my new 14" hp pavilion 2 in 1 laptop. I wanted a mouse to carry around with me as I went from place to place. This mouse does that job nicely. It is compact, yet fits my hand comfortably. It pairs instantly with my laptop. It glides smoothly over most surfaces. There is a button on the bottom to turn off the mouse when not in use, and thereby conserve battery power. It looks premium. It is a good buy.

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.

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.

Lenovo - IdeaCentre 510A Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive
Lenovo 510A-15ICB Desktop: Upgrade your home computer with this Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop PC. 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.
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.
