This is a very good case, especially for the price. There's nothing flashy about it, which is perfect for me. It is very thin so it doesn't add bulk to the phone. The buttons are easy to use, and it provides good protection. Fits like a glove.

This is a very good remote for running presentations. It worked find on my Linux laptop driving a Google Slides presentation. The only downside is that it is an older design. The USB dongle is very large compared to the Unifying dongle found on Logitech mice today.

These earbuds have great sound and a very comfortable fit. Because of the looped tab, they stay in the ear very well. The only drawback is that after getting them positioned just right to maximize directing sound into my ear canal, they tend to move just a little. The sound quality is still great, but some of the volume is lost. This may have to do with the shape of my ear.

I've purchased two 860 EVO drives for different computers and have been very happy. The 870 EVO is even faster. Using the Samsung Data Migration tool is very easy - It took a couple of hours to clone my old HDD, swap the drives, and I was up and running. Make sure to install the Samsung Magician software and turn on the optimizations for best performance. This is an amazing drive at a very competitive price.

I picked this up almost on a whim, and it is amazing. The build and design feel very high quality, and I love that it has USB-C at one end and USB-A at the other, so it can plug into almost any device. When you swivel the connector around to expose the other end there is a very satisfying "click" as it snaps into place. It also has a huge capacity (128GB), and is very fast (USB 3.1). Great device that will last for many years.

Minimize movement and maximize comfort with ERGO M575—a wireless trackball with sculpted ergonomic shape. With no need to move your arm around to move the cursor, your hand and arm stay relaxed. Remarkably smooth and responsive cursor control works perfectly on any surface. Connect simply via Bluetooth Low Energy or the included USB receiver with a 33 ft (10 m) range.
 
One of the best trackballs out there.

I have used the Microsoft Trackball Explorer for many years (I keep it at work), and it has been rock solid. However, Microsoft stopped making them years ago, and I wanted a trackball at home. I did a lot of research and comparison before settling on the Logitech ERGO M575. I love this device for a lot of reasons. It is very comfortable for my hand (sorry, right-hand only), the button placement is great, and the ball is smooth. It's also easy to pop the ball out and clean the contact points (which should be done every so often). I also love that it's wireless and uses the same USB dongle as my keyboard, so I only have to plug in one thing to use both devices.
After reading a lot of reviews, I decided to get this one instead of the Logitech MX Ergo Trackball because it cost about twice as much, and didn't seem to add as much value above the M575.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the ball isn't quite as smooth as my MS Trackball Explorer. It's close, but not quite there.

This is a fantastic drive. Bought it for my son for his birthday. His laptop is only about a year old, but had a traditional HDD instead of an SSD. The difference is night and day. The machine boots lightning fast, Windows and applications load almost instantly. Used mirroring software to clone is old drive, and it was flawless. This is a relatively inexpensive way to really speed up any computer.

I bought this phone to replace my wife's aging LG G6. My son has a Pixel 3a and has been really pleased. This phone is even better. Plenty of storage and RAM, and a great processor and screen. She really enjoys having a pure Android experience. It will receive the Android 11 update as soon as Google releases it. The camera (and camera software) are fantastic -- the photos are amazing! The price makes the whole thing even better.

will this work for hp pavilion 17-g133cl laptop

Laptops generally have 2.5" slots, which means you don't need an enclosure. You can install a 2.5" SSD directly without any extra hardware.

Can this be used to mount a WD 3.5 inch 2T HDD into an HP Pavilion Desktop (TP01-0014)? If not, what hardware does?

No. This is designed specifically to install a 2.5" SSD in a slot designed for a 3.5" HDD. Your HP Desktop probably already has a 3.5" drive. That means you don't need any additional hardware to install a different 3.5" drive.

Is there anything else you need to do once it's installed and computer's turned on? Is it automatically detected and installed, ready to use?

If this is a second hard drive in your machine, it will be automatically detected, but you need to use the Windows Disk Manager tool to format the drive. If you are replacing a drive, use Samsung's Data Migration Software (https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/) before you remove the old hard drive to transfer all your data to the new drive. You'll need a cable to connect the Samsung SSD to a USB port in order to transfer the data. I found this one on Amazon: "StarTech.com SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer" I've used it with two Samsung drives and it worked great.
