I upgraded my Galaxy S5 with the Defender for years to the S9+. Protects the higher investment just like the old one! (Different size case, of course) The handy clip -on belt holder is also great.
One caveat: The structure of the case has protective rubber caps for the USB-C and other connectors on the bottom. And the skeleton case also has reinforced plastic obstructions protecting those ports. If you have oversized or "beefy" USB or earphone connectors, they may not clear them. I also have a camera which attaches to the USB-C (DJI Osmo Pocket with a USB-C interface slide in adapter) which will not reach (too short) through the Defender. You may need a USB-C female to male extender (longer than normal and slim to fit through the Defender) or settle for a cable that does the same (make sure it's charging and data!). I chose the adapters.
The Defender always does it's job . . . but if you have exotic uses for your S9+, there are ways to adapt.

I previously purchased one of these Samsung wireless pads a few years ago for my Galaxy S5. Little did I know that unit did not have the Qi capability. But standard charging worked fine. I just upgraded to the S9+ (thinking I already had a charger(!) but since I've always used an Otterbox Defender case, the old model just didn't do that job either!
This one does the trick WITH the Otterbox case. I have read a few posts claiming it didn't work but what I found out is "It's the placement, stupid!" If it's cocked to one side or directly in the middle, it might not "catch." When you position it in the middle just below the camera (not perfectly centered), the charge light comes on and has done the job every time. In other words, more of the top of the S9+ should be hanging off the pad than the bottom. It works with the Defender.

Replaced a older, grimier Logitech combo on a retired employee's desk for the next user. Fills the bill with an attractive wireless price.

Never play 120 fps games. I simply replaced two ATI Crossfire cards (HD 6700 series) from a couple of generations back and gained more space and less clutter with fewer cables in a new case. But in my research it was getting good reviews and as far as I understand the Crossfire feature is accomplished without the tether in the newer generation cards anyway so I can expand later if necessary.

I replaced an aging laptop with this for our receptionist. No need for blazing speed or quantum physics calculations just email, a little browsing and accounting. I won't say it can't handle a little more. Never need to push it.
It's a clean little machine.

I own one of the earlier Intouos tablets which is still working quite well. The smaller size and the wireless capability of this tablet is a nice upgrade. I have one at home and one at work now.

I own quite a few SanDisk products in my life and they have stood the test of time: on key rings, in pockets . . . in fact, I just had a USB port fail but the Sandisk got re-plugged into another port and worked just fine.

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!

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.

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.

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.]
