Excellent set of budget headphones. I use them with my
"new" Galaxy S22 phone. They provide good stereo sound, that is considerably better than that from the
speakers of the phone. They drain the battery of the
phone far less than the phone speakers, or than using
bluetooth headphones. They deliver very good value.

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.
