This lamp is an excellent addition to my desktop computer station. The station is wide, with two monitors and a tower with external speakers. This lamp has a long bulb on a configurable arm that provides excellent lighting of my wide space. The white color of the emitted light allows accurate viewing of color on the desk - which is useful when comparing photos to what I see on my monitor screens. Also the light is not harsh, even on the highest setting. I recommend this lamp highly.

This laptop is very well engineered for travel. It is compact, yet has a screen that is large enough to
provide comfortable viewing. As a 2-in-1 laptop it
serves very well as a means of entertainment (via
"tent" mode) and as a means of presentation or
for video meetings (via "presentation" mode). The construction is solid, and shows well thought out
engineering. It also looks sharp!
The display is bright, colorful, sharp, and detailed. It
works well for viewing films, text, videos, or zoom
calls.
The keyboard is solid, with all the keys most travelers
need. I have no need for a numeric keypad, and prefer
its absence so as to have a full-sized keyboard.
This laptop is very well equipped with a full set of high
speed ports. It also comes equipped with a full sized
HDMI port and a 3.5mm headset jack. I have used one
of the usb-c ports to drive and power a 15.6" display
panel as well!
The speakers demonstrate the ingenuity of the HP
engineers. You need to examine them closely to
appreciate what the engineers have accomplished here.
First, they understood that the purchasers of this 2-in-1
laptop would spend an appreciable amount of time
watching movies and videos in "tent" mode. When set
up in this geometry the speakers located below the
keyboard will face forward and provide superior sound.
In "presentation" mode, with the keyboard facing down
against a table, the speakers face up and outwards
and provide good sound. Finally in "normal" mode,
with the keyboard facing up, the speakers are at an angle
to the table and slightly above its surface. For a hard
surface, this provides a way to get good sound. Of
course, if this computer sits on a lap or on a blanket,
the sound may be muffled.
For my purposes this laptop does an excellent job,
and I recommend it highly.

This computer sleeve is an excellent fit to my new Lenovo
IdeaPad Flex 5 14" Chromebook. This laptop has a little
more depth to it as it has a 16:10 display, but sits nicely
within the sleeve and comfortably beneath the zipper.
The sleeve provides ample cushioning on all sides. This
very handsome sleeve is an exceptional value at its
clearance price! I am sure it will sell out soon - so grab
one while you can!

This refurbished Lenovo chromebook is a real bargain.
Its specifications exceed the qualifications for a
Chromebook Plus in that it has 256GB of storage in
a NVMe m.2 ssd. Its processor is only one generation
younger than the 13th generation Intel Core i3 in the
most current Lenovo version of this laptop. The only
thing that might give one pause is that this laptop is
"Refurbished" -- I found that this should not stop you
from grabbing one of these while they are still available!
My laptop arrived in a plain brown box. The packing of
the laptop and its power supply was the best I have
ever seen (see photo)! The chromebook and its power
supply were surrounded by the best bubblewrap I have
ever seen. There was no movement possible in the box,
and the dense bubble wrap provided extraordinary
protection on all sides.
The power supply is a Lenovo 45W brick with a usb-c cord about 5.5 feet long. It looks brand new. The laptop itself also looks brand new. I found no scratches or blemishes anywhere on the body. I provide many photos
to help illustrate this.
The display is excellent, as is the keyboard and touchpad.
The chromebook has an ample array of ports, with none
of them showing any evidence of wear (see photos).
Upon opening the laptop the first screen displayed was
one showing "chromebook plus". The only reason this
does not appear on the lid of the laptop is because
this laptop was made a little before this classification
was created.
I looked at the diagnostics for the battery and discovered
that the battery has seen essentially no use. The health of
the battery is at 100%, and the battery has been through
only 1 charging cycle!
One of the reasons I purchased this chromebook was to
make use of the embedded linux in it. I checked under
"Developers" and verified that this chromebook has the
"Linux development environment".
I am very impressed with my "new" Chromebook Plus,
which I obtained at about half the cost of the slightly
newer version. If you too are interested in getting a
Chromebook Plus, I highly recommend this unit.
However, don't wait too long -- I suspect this will sell
out in the near future!

I purchased the blue version of this sleeve for my new Lenovo Tab P12. This tablet has a display that is a 12.7" diagonal. I also have the tablet in a cover that is dark green and a great fit. The tablet in its cover fits perfectly into this sleeve. The memory foam of the sleeve provides excellent protection for this very large tablet!

I purchased this mouse to use with my new 14" hp pavilion 2 in 1 laptop. I wanted a mouse to carry around with me as I went from place to place. This mouse does that job nicely. It is compact, yet fits my hand comfortably. It pairs instantly with my laptop. It glides smoothly over most surfaces. There is a button on the bottom to turn off the mouse when not in use, and thereby conserve battery power. It looks premium. It is a good buy.

Does the refurbished t7 work as good as a new t7?

I purchased two of these refurbished drives. After properly initializing and formatting one of them, it appears to work as well as a new drive. This was not true for the second drive - I struggled to get it to work, and then found that 7% of the sectors of the drive were bad. It now appears to be working, but I less confidence in it.

Does the external SSD come with a USB-C cable? I’m not sure if I have one.

It should come with two cables. One a usb c to c, and the second a usb c to a. Mine came in a little box "hidden" behind the drive. However, you need to test them with a drive known to be good. I found 3 of the 4 cables I received with two of these drives to be defective.

I just purchased this external ssd and tried to use it for the first time. It will not show up on my computer anywhere, except on the "eject" tray. Why can't my new laptop see or open it the file location?

I suspect that it needs to be initialized and then formatted - operations you can do from disk management. However, it could also be a bad cable. I had a similar experience with this refurbished drive.
