I got this to expand the storage of my new Samsung Tab S6 Lite. So far I have downloaded 15 movies to it. They play back smoothly and with absolutely no problems. I also use it for music storage, and get excellent playback for that as well. I am very happy with my purchase!

The Tab S6 Lite is an excellent midrange tablet. It has a very good screen, and very good speakers. It is well suited for watching movies, videos, Youtube, and other media. It is well suited for listening to music, and even has a headphone jack when privacy and battery economy are desired. It comes with Android 11 and Samsung One UI 3.1 --> and as a result has Samsung Dex installed. With this and the addition of a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, you have almost laptop capability for productivity.
In one of the attached photos you see my home screen with a few widgets, illustrating the clarity of the screen. In another photo you see the pulldown menu, showing the button to enable Dex. In another you see the home screen for VUDU, a good source for movies without a subscription. And in a fourth photo you see the home screen for albums of the included app Samsung Music -- which is able to play WMA files, as well as many others.
Accessories I would recommend with purchase include a case (I got a Ztotop case for this laptop), a microSDXC memory card (to expand storage), and a OTG (On The Go) flash drive (to facilitate transfer of files). To enable productivity, pick up a bluetooth keyboard, a bluetooth mouse, and a tablet stand.
This tablet serves all my needs for the forseeable future, and I recommend it highly.

I got this to use with my new Samsung Tab A7 Lite - and it has worked out very well. This slim stylus fits my hand well, and is used for playing games, reading, negotiating web sites, and other things that need one to touch the screen. It also fits snugly in the storage loop on the folio case for my laptop.

The Tab A7 Lite is a good choice for an ereader. Its size and proportions are close to those of a paperback novel. One can hold it in one hand and read comfortably for lengthy periods of time. It is priced close to or lower than many e-ink readers, yet provides far more utility than they are capable of. It is far more responsive and powerful than an e-ink reader of comparable cost. The attached photos show it compared to a paperback novel, when mounted in a protective folio cover from Ztotop. If you are looking for a candidate as an ereader, this is a good choice.

I was looking for a way to add some modern features to my vintage stereo receiver - and this device really delivers! I connected this to the AUX input on my receiver and in minutes was able to pair it to my Sony walkman, and my Samsung phone. The quality of the sound was very, very good. I had no problem adjusting the volume (using the controls on the device, on my phone or walkman, or on the receiver). It has added new life to my home stereo system!

 Spider-Man: Far from Home - BLU-RAY [Standard]
Spider-Man: Far from Home - BLU-RAY [Standard]
A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.
 
A very fun movie!

I really like this movie - the way it covers Europe and its inclusion of local music makes it a really fun movie. For those who have been fortunate enough to have seen a little of Europe, the film will bring back fond memories.

This task lamp is actually better than advertised! Fully charged I have operated it for over 5 hours when set to minimum brightness - and that is more than adequate for most situations, with the lamp directly above the material illuminated. I find it extremely useful because it is easily moved from one location to another for whatever the need is - such as the kitchen table for tax returns, or my computer table to better illuminate some manual. I recommend it!

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.

You will have to do it after the purchase, and the system has been set up. It is very easy to do via the Windows Store (for which you must have an account). It will cost about $100.

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 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.
