You can take Unigine Superposition on a USB drive, it's not huge. If the GPU isn't plugged in then you can't test it, obviously. So buyer…

5070 looks like being awful value, at least based on Australian pricing. It has 12GB VRAM which is pretty questionable for a 1440p/4K GPU…

A lot of the prebuilts offered by companies that post on OzBargain like Nebula, Techfast etc. offer very solid value **as long as you don't…

I always use the TechPowerUp relative performance charts to compare CPUs and GPUs because you know you're getting a consistent methodology.…

I bought a used BYD ATTO 3 a month ago, very impressed by the build quality and tbh pretty much everything else about the car. Performance…

I just ran all the numbers on a novated lease - if you are in the top tax bracket and buying an EV the savings are very good. If you're…

I've diagnosed it as a motherboard failure unfortunately. The screen cracked when he dropped it but it kept running for 6+ months after…

Thanks for the info re. hard drive. My son broke his school laptop and I've bought the R5 version of this to replace it; glad I can take…

Yeah I have the Family Safety stuff setup. I went with the R5 because I already have an RTX 3060 gaming laptop in case I need portable…

No, because it doesn't cover my son dropping the laptop on the ground which is how he broke the last one -_-

Yeah I'm a tech head too, but tbh I prefer the school laptop has LESS gaming performance because I want my son to get distracted less at…

I need to replace my son's school laptop and this looks like a solid option, but I noticed Officeworks also has the Ryzen 5 8645HS version…

Yeah I'm also on a 3060 Ti @ 1440p 165Hz, and I think it's well worth hodling until Nvidia 50-series releases. Even if you don't upgrade to…

Saying out of stock for delivery this morning in Vic, unsure about other states.

I don't have one of the magnetics but I did a bit of digging for reviews. Seems the cooler performance out of the box is middling - it's…

I don't agree with this at all, and I'm currently using an AIO. I will not buy another AIO because tower-style air coolers provide more…

Although I use an AIO currently, I won't buy one again. Air coolers have become so good that even ignoring price (where air coolers are…

I love these, they're creamy and buttery and remind me of my childhood visits to my grandparents.

I ordered from their sale a couple of weeks ago and the beans still haven't arrived. Very slow dispatch/delivery considering I'm in the…

Would it be possible for you to forward your work phone to your personal mobile at the end of each workday? That way you can receive calls…

Is the Orochi v2 still lighter when it has batteries installed? Because it requires two batteries and the G305 only needs one.

Not discounting your views, but personally I'm a big fan of the G305. The weight feels nice to me esp. with a lighter lithium battery, and…

This is my top pick for a budget gaming mouse, as long as you don't have large hands. The first one I bought is still going strong at least…

What resolution are you playing at? If it's less than 4k it's unlikely VRAM is really the issue. Resource monitoring is probably showing…

I'm a coffee veteran and former barista, but not a coffee snob - I'll try anything once and I even drink instant decaf. I've tried at least…

Don't put f***** words in Cuno's mouth you f****** f*******! Fixed.

Thanks OP, bought a set as I was looking at cheaper computer speakers but at this price, I'll take an upgrade!

As others have mentioned, the exchange rate is so bad at the moment that most consumer goods are not really worth buying there. But as a…

That's a good point. I'm thinking I will keep adding to the account out of my own savings at a modest rate anyway, but I can also do some…

Makes sense, I didn't expect there to be much by way of tax strategy. Also interested in investment product types, I expect the first…
