Crucial - P3 2TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe
Basic bootup speeds won~t cut it ~ not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that~s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.

I have had this radio for about 5.5 years now, and I have
found it to be solid and reliable. I live in a region that has
a number of tornado alerts each year, as well as other
weather related alerts. This radio does a very good job
of providing warnings, and monitoring the situations as
they are in progress. I am impressed by how long the
battery holds its charge (when not in use). I top it up
about every 6 months. This is a very good choice as
an emergency weather alert radio.

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.
