This combo package is a great value. The SDXC is
excellent, and I use it as added storage for my new
Motorola moto g 5g 2024 phone. The reader is an
added bonus. It is a USB 3 reader, and permits the
transfer of photos and videos to my computer at
USB 3 speeds.

I purchased this cable explicitly for it's high speed,
and it did not disappoint me. I use it when copying
large files to and from my high speed external solid

and videos from my Galaxy S22 phone, which has a
high speed USB C port. The cable is very well made.

The phone was delivered quickly in just three days after
it was ordered. It was delivered in a small, heavy-duty
cardboard box. When I picked up the box I could hear
something moving inside. Upon opening the box I
immediately saw that the phone was not packed very
well. The phone itself was in a thin plastic bag, and
secured to the bottom of the box by a tight band of thin
plastic. There was no foam cushion on either side of the
phone. Placed on top of the phone was a box containing
a charging cable. This box was free to move about. There
was also a wall charger in a thin plastic bag that was also
free to move about. These items should, at a minimum,
have been isolated from the phone by bubble wrap. I
expected more care for a phone that cost $450. This
careless packing cost me a week of carefully testing the
phone - something most customers would not do.

careless packing cost me a week of carefully testing the
phone - something most customers would not do.
I first performed a careful visual inspection of the phone.
The screen looked like new - it was free of any
imperfections. The back of the phone had a few minor
blemishes, but nothing else. I found a small scuff mark
on two of the corners of the surrounding aluminum
band, that are invisible with a case.

I ran all the Samsung diagnostics multiple times,
and the phone passed them all. I found an app to
help me find dead pixels and residual images on the screen - none were found. The display screen was
like new. The battery was also like new. I have been
using the phone now for almost four weeks, and can get
almost three days usage out of one full charge - although
my usage is relatively light.

All three cameras work very well, and the lenses look
like new. They experienced no damage from the careless packing - but I was probably lucky. A photo of the
base of my Christmas tree with the main lens is very
sharp and clear. The small blur in the upper left corner
was from my finger! Photos with the other lenses were
also excellent.

I am very happy with this phone. However, I am afraid I
can not recommend it to a friend. The careless way it
was packaged could have damaged the phone. I think it
would have been safer to not include the charging block
and the box with the charging cable, if such flimsy
packing is continued. In any event, the phone should be
cushioned on all sides by foam. It is, after all, a $450
device.

up a second unit for myself!

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.
