This drive feels very well made, and comes with a good cable. I connected it to the fastest USB C port on my desktop (10Gbps) and ran some speed tests. It gave over 1000 MB/s . I expect it would give the over 2000 MB/s when connected to the newer high speed C ports on newer computers. I am very happy with its performance on my system.

This charger works well for my phone and my tablet. It is extremely compact, as can be seen in the photos with a quarter on it. It comes with an excellent cable that can easily deal with the full 65 W that this charger is capable of providing. The charger and the cable are very well made and solid - they should each last for a long time. This is a very good buy.

I got this on sale at a good price. It has the right length for my needs, and is working reliably. It appears to be sturdy and to last a long time. The built in adapter has proven to work well. I have not used it for anything but charging and power, and it has worked well for that purpose.

I was looking for a secondary monitor to use with my desktop pc that was small enough to fit into the small space available, with enough resolution to make the control windows for photo and video editing readable. The specifications for this monitor looked like a good fit, and the price met my restricted budget.
The description described it to be in excellent condition. It arrived nicely boxed, with the monitor itself completely enclosed in a thick bubble envelope protecting it on all sides. Upon carefully examining the monitor it was clearly in excellent condition, with no cosmetic defects anywhere.
The monitor came with three cables: a short, thick USB C to USB C cable meant to carry video signals, a longer HDMI to mini HDMI cable that I needed for my desktop computer, and a longer USB C to USB A cable to carry power from my desktop computer to the monitor. I checked the USB C to USB C cable using a new gaming laptop I bought for Christmas and verified that it worked just fine.
When connected to my desktop computer, I found that the monitor completely satisfied all my needs. The resolution and crispness were great. The color accuracy was fine as well. I tried viewing some videos on it, and it performed well. It has speakers and they were low volume and tinny, but I had no need for them. I found no dead pixels in the display. It truly was in excellent condition.
This monitor is great at an extraordinary price! I highly recommend it.

Can the RAM be expanded from 16GB to 32GB? What type of memory can be used?
There is a second, unoccupied slot for another stick of RAM. Care must be taken, however, to use RAM that is recognized by this pc. I found Crucial to work. The RAM needs to match the speed of the existing stick, and it must be DDR5.

What motherboard does this have and can I install a discrete GPU like Nvidia 5060 or AMD 5060 on this?
This pc uses a proprietary motherboard made by HP.
You will not be able to install a GPU like the 5060, as it requires additional power that the power supply here can not provide, nor the special power supply cable. You can use a low power card that runs on the large pcie slot in the computer. I have successfully installed an RTX 3050 with 6GB GDDR6 ram - it is the version with a cap of 70W power draw.

Can multiple monitors be hooked up?
There is an HDMI port on the back of the computer. There is also a Display Port connection that can be used to connect a second monitor. If that monitor does not have a Display Port connection, a cable or adapter can be used to complete the connection.

Not counting CPU fan, how many case fans are there?
There are no case fans in this pc. The left side panel (the removeable one) is heavily perforated, providing static air flow into the pc. The cpu fan also provides cooling air flow to the solid state drive, which is inside the shroud surrounding the cpu.

Does this item have a 3 prong plug? I need one as i will use it at work and need 3 prong to be compliant
It has a polarized two-prong plug, ie, one prong is larger than the other. It can be plugged in only one way. The outlet on the wall must permit the use of such a plug.

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.
