My new ASUS Strix G16 16 inch laptop is thick and has a large 280 Watt power brick. This backpack can easily handle both, and has plenty of space to spare! My laptop fits comfortably in the main storage area. There is even space to insert a little extra padding on the bottom and sides when making longer trips. There are three nested pockets on the front. My large 280 Watt power brick fit easily in the smallest pocket. I put its power cord in the second largest pocket, with plenty of room for my gaming mouse and my gaming pad. The largest pocket I use for papers, and a little extra padding. I was able to snatch this up on Cyber Monday for just $10 ! The backpack is well made, with a good and solid handle. I recommend this backpack.

Having ridden a lot of trains in Europe some time ago, I look for ways to reproduce that experience. This simulator does not disappoint! So far I have only used the game as a passenger, and it is fun! I highly recommend it.

This usb hub provides excellent value. It provides additional usb 3.0 ports, and they are far enough apart to permit use of all 4 of them at the same time. Although the cord is somewhat short, it is fine for use with laptops. It is also sturdy enough to be used in a hanging position with my pc tower. It looks and feels well made.

This briefcase is an excellent fit for my new ASUS Strix 16" gaming laptop. This laptop is considerably thicker than an ordinary 16" laptop, yet it fits comfortably into one of the main pockets of this case. It is also afforded good padding by the case. When closed up with the laptop inside, the case is a good thickness, again illustrating its padding. There is a large exterior pocket that can easily hold a mouse, a large wattage usb c charger, and an external ssd drive. The handles of the case are sturdy and comfortable to hold. There is a shoulder strap provided with the bag. I was able to get this briefcase with a considerable discount, making it an excellent buy. I highly recommend this briefcase!

I clone the system disk of one of my computers to this drive to use as a backup. I can do this relatively easily and quickly, and repeat the process every two months. This provides a quick means of recovery in the event of a catastrophic crash of the system. I got this drive on sale at a good price.

Lenovo - IdeaCentre 510A Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black
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.

Can I upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro before or after purchase?
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.
