This machine is impressive. It is very well made - with a very pleasing exterior, and a very clean and well laid out interior. It provides more features at this price point than you can find elsewhere. For example - it gives two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and a USB C port on the front! The engineering is well thought out. For example, the memory is two paired 4GB sticks, to optimize throughput. The machine is snappy and does the jobs it was designed for very well. One thing to take note of is that the machine is not designed for high end gaming, and really can't be upgraded to do so - it has a 180W interior power supply and a proprietary motherboard. But it does all the tasks characteristic of a home pc very well, and somewhat beyond. I am doing photo editing using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, and they work very well. I have paired the PC with a 28" Samsung 4K monitor, and the images are stunning. For the price, you won't find a better machine anywhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keep in touch with others up to 16 miles away by using this three-pack of Cobra walkie-talkies. Each radio has 10 weather presets to quickly check storm conditions and uses 22 FRS/GMRS channels to avoid interference from other units. These Cobra walkie-talkies use NiMH batteries, which recharge with a microUSB cable.
 

Are nine (9) rechargeable batteries included with this kit of three radios? The pictures show only 6 batteries in the kit, when each radio uses 3.

Do these transmit only on the FRS channels, and only allow listening to the (license required) GMRS channels?

hello, is the power brick 110 up to 240v?

The power brick I got with my 18tb easystore drive
says it accepts input of 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 0.6A max.
It has a standard US 2-prong blades. It is international capable, but you need to provide the adapter needed for the country you use it in.

I purchased this, but cant find the power button to turn it off. I hate to leave it plugged in all the time when it's not in use most of the time. Is there a power button on it? If not, then do i have to physically unplug when it's not in use?

The WD Easystore external drives do not have a power button to turn the unit off and on, A possible solution would be to plug the power brick in to a power strip with a switch.

(I think that another version of this drive sold by other retailers - the WD Elements external drive - does have a power button on the back. However, this button looks to be an electronic switch. So even that drive will remain connected to power when turned off with the switch.)

Is this lamp cordless? Looking for one to use where it operates on some sort of battery as I don't have outlets nearby.

The lamp is not cordless. It has a proprietary cable that that goes to a transformer that has to be plugged into a standard wall outlet.

Is this lamp pretty stable? Or does it fall over easily? The base looks pretty small in the photos.

The lamp is very stable. The base is 5" X 7". In addition it has heft (must have weights in it). I have bumped it on occasion, and it remains upright and stable.
