I have wanted this unit for some time, and was finally able to get it at an excellent price during the Black Friday sale. It provides excellent backup for my new PC and new monitor, and their external drives. My equipment has relatively low power draw, and I get almost an hour of run time when losing power, which is more than sufficient to backup crucial files, and power everything down safely.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This monitor is my first 4K monitor, and it gives me absolutely stunning images. I am using it with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop elements., and it is well paired with them. I thought I might be overwhelmed by the size of the screen, coming from a 15" screen on a laptop - but I very quickly got accustomed to it, and find myself doing all my editing using my new monitor.

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.

 Eton - Elite Field Radio - Gray
Eton - Elite Field Radio - Gray
Ready and tested, the Eton Elite Field BT Radio receives most every radio wavelength—AM (MW), FM and Shortwave (SW)—at home or abroad. It's easy to set the station spacing and frequency so your stations come in loud and clear wherever you are. And with the radio's Bluetooth capability, you can stream your own music or favorite podcast. If Digital Radio is more your style, tune into HD Radio in North America or DAB+ internationally. With high sensitivity, strong anti-interference, low background noise and even lower distortion, listening on the Elite Field BT is a real pleasure. Plus, its wide/narrow bandwidth selection improves audio fidelity and minimizes noise. The Elite Field Bluetooth Radio features RDS for FM. RDS stands for Radio Data System and it enables FM broadcasters to deliver more than just an analog audio signal, but also to transmit digital data, like the station’s call letters, style of music, song title, artist and more. With local and world time settings, radio and buzzer alarm clock settings, sleep timer and snooze light, the Elite Field BT keeps you in time, in any time zone. And if you want to prevent the radio or alarm from turning on all together, just hit Lock. When it comes to tuning in to your favorite frequency, you can take it fast…or slow. The dial-in-dial tuning knob lets you select your speed—fast, slow or stop to keep it in a locked position. The Elite Field BT radio includes a built-in hand strap for carrying your radio with ease and can operate on AC with the included adapter or 4 D batteries, sold separately.

Are the specs correct when it says 14.5 width, and height is 0.78, but the screen is 15.6" trying to get a bag for my daughter and need to know If it will fit.

The screen is 15.6" on a diagonal. Most bags advertised for
"15.6inch" laptops will fit such laptops. Find one that she
will like.
