This wall charger works as advertised. It has good portability due to the folding AC blades in the back and its overall narrowness. And I got this on sale, making it an excellent value.

My 16" HP laptop easily fits into this sleeve. The sleeve is lighter in color than it appears on the web site, but actually looks better for that reason. The main zipper is rose-gold in color, and sturdy. It has one large pocket, and it also has a zipper. The sleeve does not have a handle. The sleeve has good padding. I was lucky and got it on sale.

I use this sleeve with my 16" HP laptop. It easily fits inside,
with some room to spare. The handles are a nice feature. It has a very large pocket on each side of the sleeve. It also has a smaller pocket on one side with a zipper. The zipper for the main storage compartment is sturdy. I got this at a very good price.

I included this HDD in my first pc build. I use it to store my photo and video archives. It is a fast drive, and lives up to its specs. I have found it to be very reliable. I was able to get it at a very good price. I am so impressed by it that I bought a second one, that I have put into an external drive housing. I use that as a backup drive. If you want a fast HDD, you can't do better than this one!

This laptop is great for amateur photographers and artists. Its 2-in-1 design and touch-screen make it ideally suited for editing photos and creating artwork, especially when paired with the proper HP touch pen. The display is high resolution and of excellent quality. It has the 16:10 aspect ratio preferred for photo editing and artwork. It has an ample number of powerful ports. The back-lighted keyboard is very good, and the keys are very responsive with a larger size making errors in keystrokes less likely.
The sound is good, although the grills to either side of the keyboard are not for the speakers - they are for ventilation. The speakers are actually on the front edge of the laptop. The SSD in this laptop is actually amazing in its speed - typically ~6000MB/s! I was lucky enough to get this when it was marked down substantially, and consider it to be one of my best purchases this year!

This drive is very thin and light, perfect for traveling in a small laptop bag. It is fast. I get 1000MB/s with it connected to a fast USB C 3.2 port on either my laptop or my desktop. I use it to transfer files between my desktop and my laptop - mostly photos and videos. I also use it to do backups of my laptop. I like it so much that I bought a second one. I got them at a great sale price!

This is a good software package with many useful apps included. But you may encounter installation issues, as I did. If either of the two serial numbers (keys) are flagged as invalid, you have to go to the nearest Best Buy physical store to have your purchase cancelled, and get a new digital product. The problem can not be fixed via chat or phone. Also, Corel will not provide you with a solution. I spent a week before I was told what I had to do.
Also, the installation of the many apps can be intimidating to one not experienced with folders and file structures. The installation sets up a sub-sub directory that contains a number of folders. Inside most of them is an executable file used to install a particular program in the package. The purchaser has to go to each in turn to do the complete installation. Be sure to install the PaintShop Pro program first - it is the main one, and needs a valid serial number to proceed.
Despite my problems installing the package I would recommend purchase of this package, particularly if you can get it on sale. I find it to be a very useful set of tools.

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 just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
