It’s just a USB port—until you need more ports to connect all your devices. The Best Buy essentials BE-PH2A4AP 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub uses a single USB port to connect up to four USB devices. Just plug the hub into your computer, and the blue LED indicating light lets you know it’s ready for your devices. A 5V, 500 mAh port output delivers consistent and quick power, while a data transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps performs at the speed you need. Backed by Best Buy, add four extra USB ports to your computer with computer accessories designed just for you.
Just 1 more plug . . . well 4, that is

Convenient when you just need those extra ports on a laptop. Comes with a power supply so you can charge things also. I have a thin style laptop with only 2 ports so this is a good expansion item when you need more.

The slim profile and minimalist design transform your keyboard and mouse into a visual statement that elevates your desk setup. A slim profile and compact design make typing and mousing a pleasure. Low-profile keys give you that laptop-like typing experience you know and love. Whisper-quiet keys and a 90% noise-reduced mouse let you power through in near-silence. Long battery life and an easy plug-and-play 2.4GHz USB receiver ensure a reliable, hassle-free experience.
Logitech is a go-to . . .

Your computer doesn’t have to have an HDMI port to connect to an extra display. This DisplayPort to HDMI adapter converts a DisplayPort output to an HDMI input, letting you connect your computer to an HDMI-enabled TV, monitor or projector. Resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD (4096 × 2160p) at 60Hz deliver outstanding presentations or movie showings with crystal clear video quality. Plus, the compact design makes it easy to carry, and plug and play technology requires no additional software on your end.

Wouldn't it be great if one day video card and monitor mfg's would get together and make up their minds that a standard port would make more sense for everyone. It would give me more time to hunt unicorns! Geez! Solved the problem!

Replaced a dead amp M-Audio set with these and it worked out well. Tunable with bass/treble controls, volume remote plus provided with RCA out cable AND RCA-to-Stereo out jack for your Smartphone. Still deciding on whether to remove the baffles due to softer sound. Muffles the highs a little at the cost of protecting the cones from dust.

Simply using this for an office monitor. At the $139 price at the time, it was a no brainer. I had bought another for our security DVR. Another associate needed a new monitor for her desktop. The security DVR's video card died (still accessible by IP address, though, so I switched Graphics desktop to this. Couldn't be happier! Prefer Samsung always. At the time $139! Timing is everything . . .

When it comes to rediscovering dated electronics or old children’s toys, having the power cord can mean the difference between a fun-filled afternoon or hours spent searching for a cable you last saw years ago. Save yourself the headache and the fuss with this Insignia Universal AC Adapter, designed for devices requiring a round-pin connector (not for use with laptops). A total of seven interchangeable tips let you switch between multiple electronics or find the one that’s perfect for the job at hand. Its adjustable voltage gives you the flexibility to choose the precise voltage you need, while an included USB port lets you power devices such as phone chargers. Take back your afternoon with this multi-voltage power adapter.

I needed a couple of power supplies for two LED light panels for photography rather than change batteries frequently. As long as you need less 12VDC or less, this works well. Probably not good as a laptop replacement which typically uses higher current.

Parrot - ANAFI Extended Drone with Skycontroller - Dark Gray
Take to the skies with this Parrot Anafi Extended drone. Ideal for capturing footage off the beaten path, this ultra-compact drone offers easy portability and records breathtaking footage with a 4K camera. This Parrot Anafi Extended drone has a powerful battery that lets it explore the sky for up to 25 minutes at a time with a top speed of 33mph.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

Samsung - 9W Wireless Charger Pad - Black
Fill device batteries cord-free with this Samsung wireless charging pad. This Qi-compatible device delivers up to 9W of wireless power to Samsung devices with Samsung Fast Charge technology for fast and convenient cord-free charging. The built-in fan and vents on this Samsung wireless charging pad keep your device cooler for maximum battery longevity.
Will it charge a galaxy tablet 7?
If your device has the Qi charging system, it will. I looked up your device but didn't see any mention about wireless charging or Qi anywhere in the description. There MAY be a conversion kit for your unit. I would recommend a talk with your local Geek Squad at your nearest store to make sure.
If I'm correct the Tab 7 is an older model which would not have that feature.

Logitech Wireless Combo MK320. The combo that puts entertainment and portability at your fingertips. With 11 hot keys, you’ll enjoy instant access to the things you do most. Low-profile, whisper-quiet keyboard helps make typing and surfing easy. And the mouse stores the tiny Logitech receiver, so you can take your mouse wherever you go.
Will this work on a raspberry pi zero w?
It's been a while since I used my Pi. But I do remember having to jump through a couple of hoops with Logitech's Unifying software but I did finally get it to work with some scripting I found online. I would assume this combo would also need the same help.

Lenovo - IdeaPad 330 15.6" Laptop - Intel Pentium Silver - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive
Stay productive and entertained with this 15.6-inch Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15 notebook. The quad-core 1.1GHz Intel Pentium Silver processor lets this notebook smoothly handle everything from email to work assignments, while the 4GB of RAM ensure resource-efficient multitasking. This Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15 notebook delivers immersive, high-definition visuals with a 15.6-inch HD display.
Would this one be good for YouTube and Netflix ?
It's a nice, clean laptop. I actually acquired it for a business purpose so it's great for internet and your basic office-type functions. I won't say it's the best thing for streaming--especially wireless--and you would be better off with a wired connection to the internet which is available on this computer. If you're trying basic HD films or Youtube regular, you should be fine. 4K streams on my home computer with a more massive video card stutter and I have to switch down to regular HD myself. It's more about the speed of your Internet service provider these days than the computer itself usually.
You could pick up one of the $1000+ laptops with beefier video cards for gaming and/or video but I'm sure price point was a factor in your looking at this one
[Lenovo is a Chinese company who acquired the personal computing line from IBM when IBM decided to stick with business computing focus. I own a Lenovo Desktop purchased from Best Buy I turned into a multimedia server which has been running without issue for about 5 years now. It's a respectable company.]
