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.

I do not see where the privacy feature for the camera is. Is it a button that needs to be pressed? Because I see nothing that covers the camera.
The version of this laptop I got from Best Buy does not have the sliding switch to put a physical screen in front of the camera. I believe this is the case for this version of the laptop for Best Buy. You can disable the camera in Settings, if you wish.

Panasonic Cordless Phone KX-TGD863A with digital answering system features Link2Cell so you can make or receive mobile calls through handset units for call clarity even in cell dead zones. The KX-TGD863A also includes Bilingual Talking Caller ID and smart call block features that make it easier than ever to block and avoid nuisance callers.
Sorry, but must ask this again as it was not addressed by a previous reply. Other than the number of handsets, are there any significant feature differences between KX-TGD862 and KX-TGD863? If so, can I get a KX-TGD863 with only 2 handsets?
The only difference between them is the color scheme. If you prefer the color scheme of the KX-TGD863, I believe you have no choice but to accept it with 3 handsets. Having a spare could be a good thing.

Rid your home of uncomfortably dry air with this Kyvol HD5 ultrasonic humidifier, which offers 360 degree and detachable spray nozzle which helps improve the dry air in a super quiet way. With Unique and Innovative MegaMist Technology, the mist volume can be increased to 600ml/h and the mist height can reach 40 inches instantly, which gives the droplets enough time to evaporate in the air, protecting your desk or carpet from getting wet.
I bought this product, filled it up and works great. Now that the water needs to be refilled, I’m have issues twisting the cap off, it’s completely stuck and I’m not sure how to refill it without removing the cap. What do I need to do?
It sounds like you either put the cap on too tight, or cross threaded it when you put it on. I think you will have to use brute force turning the cap counterclockwise. After filling the tank, take care putting the cap back on - making certain
it threads properly when you tighten it clockwise, but not too tight.
