I have been waiting for some time for this device to come back in stock. With the pandemic it has proven difficult to obtain a good thermometer. This device has proven to work extremely well for me. It is accurate, and takes a reading very quickly - in less than 6 seconds. In addition, it interfaces with your smart phone, and keeps a record of all your readings. I recommend it highly.

I purchased the 8" model a year ago, and it was a no brainer to purchase this when it was offered on sale recently. I needed a unit with a large screen for use in the bedroom, that was easily readable with my glasses off. I use it regularly to play relaxing music or sounds to help me go to sleep. I can easily play music from local radio stations by issuing verbal commands, and instructing it verbally to turn off after a set interval. I recommend it strongly.

This pouch is an excellent fit for my new Lumix ZS100! It is spacious enough to provide room for the camera and its wrist strap. The outer pocket provides space for two spare batteries, a spare memory card, and the charging cable. The pouch provides protection from the weather, and is spacious enough to make removing the camera easy and quick - essential for taking candid shots in the wild and in urban settings. It is also small, making it inconspicuous while moving about - both in the woods, and in foreign cities.

I purchased this over a year ago to upgrade my system drive on my desktop PC - it used a 1 TB WD mechanical drive (5400rpm). Moving the system to the new SSD was easily accomplished using the Acronis True Image software (which I recommend strongly). With the new drive my PC seems to run like a rocket! I am very pleased with this drive, and recommend it highly.

I make a couple of trips a year to Europe for holidays, and I take lots of photos while on these trips. I travel light, and need to back up my photos while on the go. This drive has worked very well for me! So good in fact that I bought a second one, and then splurged on the 1TB model. These drives are very durable, small, light, and 100% reliable. I recommend them highly.

I purchased this for my new Xbox One X. I want to be able to use it for Skype with family members from the comfort of my living room. Installation couldn't have been simpler - simply plugged it into an available usb port. When I brought up the Skype application, it recognized the camera and provided menus for the options I wanted to use. I was done with the setup in no more than 2 minutes. Both the image and audio provided by the camera are good, and provoked compliments from family members at the receiving end. For those looking for a moderately priced webcam to use for Skyping, it will be difficult to find a better choice.

I bought this drive to provide external storage for my new Xbox One X, for music, videos, etc. Installation was easy - just plugged it in.
The Xbox immediately recognized it. There was no need to do anything else! I have been using WD external drives for over 20 years, and not once have had any kind of problem. For those looking to expand the drive capacity of their Xbox One X (or S),
I strongly recommend this unit.

I have wanted to do high end gaming for some time, and had come to the realization that it would be impossible to do it on my home computer, and found it also impossible to upgrade it to do so. When I learned about the Xbox One X console I was intrigued, and started to look into it. I was astounded to learn that it had the gaming capability of a high end gaming pc, as well the ability to play 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray movies. On top of that, its cost was a small fraction of what it would cost for a gaming pc with the same features. To top it off, the unit looks good in my living room under my 4K Sony TV. I pulled the trigger and ordered it just two days before it was sold out, and consider myself fortunate to have obtained one of the last units presently available.
I have been playing with it almost a week now, and it simply blows me away. The games in 4K are like interactive movies.
I have found it possible to have already amassed a collection of almost 20 games, by taking advantage of the many sales and discounts at Best Buy. I have already filled the 1TB drive in the machine!

A few add-ons I have added to my system are:
WD My Book 4TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for games and apps)
WD Easystore 2TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for music, videos, etc.)
Logitech C615 Webcam (for Skype)
Sennheiser Game One Headset
WD My Book 4TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for games and apps)
WD Easystore 2TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for music, videos, etc.)
Logitech C615 Webcam (for Skype)
Sennheiser Game One Headset
For anyone wishing to get into high end gaming at a moderate cost, you can't do better than this machine! I highly recommend it.

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.
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.

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.
