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!

 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.

The key to superior entertainment, the Tab P12 allows you to substitute deadlines and obligations for some much-deserved downtime. Delve into the vibrant visuals of 3K streaming with ambient color, game like a boss on 8GB RAM with fast-paced, uninterrupted Wi-Fi 6 connection, or finish that page-turner in immersive reader mode featuring intrinsic background music.
 

What is the maximum size/type SD Card compatible with the Lenova P12?

The official spec sheet says 1TB is the maximum capacity it can handle. It uses a micro SDXC memory card.

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.

Can this laptop handle a lightweight photoshop? 16 y/o niece has been enjoying graphics class at school. For her first laptop, would this handle a lightweight photoshop?

I would suggest considering the program Lightroom.
This laptop meets the minimum hardware requirements for this program. This laptop does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for the more demanding program Photoshop. For that you would need a laptop with a Core i5 processor.

Convertible? Can this be used like an ipad also?

This laptop has a touchscreen, but it is not a 2 in 1 machine. So it can not be folded 360 deg to act like a tablet.

Will this be able to handle Lightroom or Photoshop editing???

This laptop meets the minimum hardware requirements to handle the program Lightroom. I am afraid the demands of the program Photoshop will be too much for it. For that you would need a computer with at least a Core i5 processor, and 16GB of RAM.

Can you plug in a mouse

A wired mouse can be plugged into one of the usb ports on this laptop. I would suggest using the usb 2 port, and saving the fast port (Super Speed) for devices that can use the extra speed.
