I purchased as "open box - excellent" and it was as described. It came in the original
box with all accessories. It had been reset to factory condition and I set it up easily
and quickly. The display screen was excellent with great resolution and great color
rendition. The sound from the speakers was very good. The pen already had its
battery installed, and worked great. The tablet came with a charging block and
a charging cable. The included case works well. I had a 128 GB micro SDXC card that
I installed for storage of movies. The WiFi works well for streaming.
My one suggestion is to get an elastic band to put around the case to keep it securely
closed during transport - the case is not magnetic and needs help to keep it securely
closed.
This tablet is an excellent choice for a budget tablet.

I use this with my 5 TB portable hard drive. The drive fits nicely, and is restrained
snugly by an elastic band. The cable for the drive fits on the other side, that is
safely isolated by a sturdy folding panel. The case is a hard shell that is strong and
impervious to the weather. This case provides excellent protection.

This is a great budget laptop well suited for travel. It works well for everyday tasks
such as watching videos, looking up information on the internet, shopping, and other
typical everyday jobs. The included 128GB drive is reasonably speedy. Most users
would be advised to get a small button USB drive of 128GB or greater to leave
permanently in one of the side ports. The display is good, as is the sound. It comes
with a nice compact charger. I find this small laptop serves me well for travel, when I
don't want to lug my expensive laptop around. It was a good purchase for me.

This case is perfectly designed for the Lenovo Tab One. The buttons on the case are
perfectly matched to the buttons on the tablet, and work seamlessly. The camera hole
matches up with the camera lens of the tablet. However you have to remove the
tablet from the case to access the microsd card holder to install or remove a microsd
card for the tablet. The case provides two angles of support for the tablet in landscape
position. The cover flap folds flat on the back allowing one to hold the tablet easily
in one hand when using it in portrait mode. The case provides good protection for
the tablet. It serves its purpose well.

This drive feels very well made, and comes with a good cable. I connected it to the fastest USB C port on my desktop (10Gbps) and ran some speed tests. It gave over 1000 MB/s . I expect it would give the over 2000 MB/s when connected to the newer high speed C ports on newer computers. I am very happy with its performance on my system.

This charger works well for my phone and my tablet. It is extremely compact, as can be seen in the photos with a quarter on it. It comes with an excellent cable that can easily deal with the full 65 W that this charger is capable of providing. The charger and the cable are very well made and solid - they should each last for a long time. This is a very good buy.

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.
