I got this drive at a great price on sale. I put into an external housing with a fast USB interface.

Cobra - MicroTALK 16-Mile, 22-Channel FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radios (3-Pack) - Black
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.
Do these transmit only on the FRS channels, and only allow listening to the (license required) GMRS channels?

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.

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.

Can this run world of Warcraft well enough
The minimum system requirements for this game state that you need at least a Core i5 processor with at least 4 cores. This laptop has only a Core i3 processor with 2 cores. So it would not be able to run the game well enough.
