This external hard disk drive provides a great deal of storage for an economical price. I use it to perform backups of my tower pc. It has a speed of about 130 MB/s, which is fine for doing my unattended backups.

This tiny external USB drive is a very good way to add additional storage to a laptop without having to clone and install a drive into the laptop. It protrudes only a small amount from the side of the laptop, allowing it to remained plugged in while inserted into a sleeve or carrying bag. The speed of the drive is as advertised, which is suitable for smaller files (such as photos). It is an excellent buy when on sale.

This is a very good budget bag for a 14 inch laptop. I got it for an excellent price on a special sale. It is houses my 14 inch laptop. It has a large pocket on the front and also on the back. Each pocket is sealed shut with Velcro. It has a smaller pocket on the front that has a sturdy zipper. The main compartment is sealed with two sturdy zippers. The case has two cloth handles. The padding is sufficient for light travel. This is a good budget laptop bag, and I am happy with its purchase.

I was able to get this at an excellent price as open box in excellent condition. It comes with an AC power cord that is a hair over 6 feet long, and a USB-C cable that is 19 inches long. The USB-C cable connects the laptop to the dock, and provides power to the laptop as well as high speed data in both directions. The dock has a good variety of ports. I was particularly happy for the ethernet port, as I do not have that port on my laptop. The dock is a little chunky, but still small enough to be easily packed for transport. I am quite happy with this purchase.

This flash drive is a very easy way to add storage to a laptop, in a way that can be semi-permanent and not stick out much from the laptop. In addition it will not block any other ports on the laptop. The speed is as advertised - sufficient for files that are not too big, such as photos. The photos below show it next to a smallish 14" laptop. It makes an easy way to add storage to a space limited laptop.

This wall charger has excellent quality, as I would expect of all Samsung products. I use it to fast charge my Samsung cell phone. Its relatively small size makes it easy to pack. I prefer its white color, as that makes it less likely to be overlooked when packing up. I got it on sale, making it a good buy.

Lenovo 510A-15ICB Desktop: Upgrade your home computer with this Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop PC.

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.

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.
