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.

Is this a good ereader

Top 250 Contributor
Best Answer

This is an excellent tablet, but may prove awkward to use as an ereader for extended periods of time. It is overly large for that purpose, has an awkward aspect ratio for that purpose, and is somewhat heavy. I have found that the Samsung Tab A7 Lite to be far more serviceable as an ereader - it is about the size and proportions of a paperback novel, and can be easily held in one hand for extended periods of time. I have both the Tab S6 Lite and the Tab A7 Lite, and am doing all my book reading with the Tab A7 Lite.

Top 250 Contributor
Best Answer

The charging plug provided is "Universal" - it works for 100-240volts, 50-60Hz. So it will work almost anywhere. However, you may need to get a simple adapter to use it with your outlets (convert the 2-prong US plug to the one you need). These can be obtained for around $10.

I know VERY little about tablets etc. I am looking for something that is light and about the size of a standard book page that I can basically read books on. Recomendations?

Top 250 Contributor
Best Answer

This tablet has a size and proportions almost the same as a paperback novel. It is light and easy to hold in one hand. I replaced my dead nook with it, and it works very well for reading my many ebooks. Unlike my dead nook, this is also capable of doing a great many other things: browsing the web, reading email, make video calls, watch YouTube videos, listen to audiobooks, .... I would recommend it for your purposes.
