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.
The power supply is a Lenovo 45W brick with a usb-c cord about 5.5 feet long. It looks brand new. The laptop itself also looks brand new. I found no scratches or blemishes anywhere on the body. I provide many photos
to help illustrate this.
The display is excellent, as is the keyboard and touchpad.
The chromebook has an ample array of ports, with none
of them showing any evidence of wear (see photos).
Upon opening the laptop the first screen displayed was
one showing "chromebook plus". The only reason this
does not appear on the lid of the laptop is because
this laptop was made a little before this classification
was created.
I looked at the diagnostics for the battery and discovered
that the battery has seen essentially no use. The health of
the battery is at 100%, and the battery has been through
only 1 charging cycle!
One of the reasons I purchased this chromebook was to
make use of the embedded linux in it. I checked under
"Developers" and verified that this chromebook has the
"Linux development environment".
I am very impressed with my "new" Chromebook Plus,
which I obtained at about half the cost of the slightly
newer version. If you too are interested in getting a
Chromebook Plus, I highly recommend this unit.
However, don't wait too long -- I suspect this will sell
out in the near future!

I purchased the blue version of this sleeve for my new Lenovo Tab P12. This tablet has a display that is a 12.7" diagonal. I also have the tablet in a cover that is dark green and a great fit. The tablet in its cover fits perfectly into this sleeve. The memory foam of the sleeve provides excellent protection for this very large tablet!

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.

I purchased this for my new HP Pavilion 2-in-1 14" laptop.
It fits nicely inside, with a little bit of clearance on the sides.
It is nicely cushioned inside and provides good protection. The outside pocket is great for small items, like usb cables and usb flash drives.
It is a great choice, and a great buy at its clearance price!

This is an excellent horror film, done Italian style. The acting is great. Telly Savalas as the Devil is very good. Elke Sommer as the main character is great. If you have never seen it before, there are many plot twists. You will want to watch it several times to follow all of them. This is a film you will want to include in your collection of classic horror films. Highly recommended!

I bought this phone set because of its features and its classy looks - and it has not disappointed! It looks very nice in my home, and it takes up less space than my old set. It comes with a very big and thorough user's manual that is well written. The buttons and screen are very easy to read. Its clock has been spot on since I set it over a month ago. It fits my hand very well. This is an excellent buy!

This humidifier is very well designed and very well engineered. It also looks much nicer than the majority of humidifiers. It is easy to fill. It is very quiet, although it does make an occasional "glub-glub" sound when it puts water from the tank into the lower tray. It has a number of features other humidifiers do not have. There is a knob that allows you to fine tune the rate at which vapor is dispensed. There is a switch that allows you to have the device shut down after 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. The device automatically shuts down when it runs out of water. It has a clever gauge on the front that shows the level of water in the tank - see the attached photo. It is best viewed from above at an angle. There is a white light at the bottom of the column that is pointed up. The light scatters at the surface of the water, showing the level.
The light gets brighter as the water level lowers. In the photo the tank is about a third full, as indicated by the upper white dot. This is a great buy.

Philips - Wireless Over-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones - Black
The Philips PH805 headphones give you control over what you hear and what you don~t, no matter what the day brings you. Enjoy your favorite songs in Hi-Res Audio during your morning workout in wireless freedom. Switch to Google assistant to check your flight information with a touch, and then enjoy your flight in silence by activating noise canceling. And enjoy your videos in high quality sound once you get to the hotel. One set of headphones can now cover all of your needs. With the PH805, you control what you hear and what you don~t hear. A tap to the ear-cup will activate noise cancelation, so you can be enveloped in a shroud of silence when you need to concentrate or rest. If you want to turn the volume down on the world but still hear louder sounds like someone speaking to you, simply activate Awareness Mode with another tap. The PH805 comes with Google Assistant, which allows you to manage your life on the move, without taking out your phone. Just touch the headband to activate it. Open your calendar, read notifications from your phone, call or send messages to friends, or check the weather simply by asking Google Assistant. The PH805 is also a quality headphone set that delivers detailed, high resolution sound, which you can use as your go-to headphones for home or on the go entertainment. Hi-Res Audio means that they are capable of playing back lossless audio at a higher sample rate than most headphones and CDs when connected to a high-res source. The benefits of the PH805 last for a full 30 hours, making them an ideal solution for every situation you find yourself in throughout the day (and night). You get up to 30 hours of play time (or talk time) with noise canceling off, or 25 hours of use with it on. If you need an extra 2 to 6 hours of battery life, 5 to 15 minutes of charging will be enough. The Philips PH805 has you covered. And when you are finally through using the Philips PH805s, they fold right up into a compact travel case, making them convenient to take with you wherever you go.

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.

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.
