Just note that if you reduce the brightness on OLED (to increase battery) that PWM will kick in and your screen may appear “jittery”…

I have the 40,000mah version for over a year now and it's been excellent and heavily used. It charges fairly quickly (microusb input, but…

I am a type 1 diabetic, so I totally understand the plight of low blood sugar. One warning I would give, however, is that if you are also…

I'm not a brand loyalist by any means, indeed if anything I tend to buy Seagate because they don't often try to make it hard to shuck them…

To be clear, I am not confusing OEM with volume licensing, but I was under the impression that the OEM license cost is still based on the…

Also agree here, but definitely get the IPS screen replacement linked in this thread, its much better and less than $80 making it quite a…

This is NOT the case for this model, the UEFI allows you to change the allocated RAM for the GPU from 512MB all the way through to 4GB. It…

I've recently purchased a deck and there is no obvious backlight bleed on my unit (64GB unit from kogan)

The touchpads do an excellent job so far, as does the touchscreen in my experience

I didn't get notifications that I had a reply! Eek! For the SSD, this is the one that I purchased and had good reviews for Steam Deck on…

No it doesn't, they would have to prove that your inclusion of the SSD was the sole cause for the hardware issue (so they might try and say…

I bought a robotic vacuum through Kogan recently which was defective. The process was pretty easy, I got on chat and provided some video to…

Your insights are awesome, kudos for the good answer imo. I still think that a $350 card shouldnt be anywhere near a $599 card though,…

There is no such thrashing, its actually pretty close to each other (it shouldnt, the 4060 ti should be miles ahead because its way more…

That's true, but the actual Quicksync component has many changes between 2nd gen and 9th gen. The real reason why 8th gen onwards is so…

Wifi 6 is not only more efficient in the handling of multiple devices internally, but also in terms of congestion and competition within…

I think its worth noting that Wifi 6 isn't just great for bandwidth (especially when you consider there are some fast Wireless AC), but the…

While this laptop isnt my cup of tea, I think people need to realise this is not intended to be a gaming laptop. It's an Ultra thin laptop…

It's prevalent enough that Microsoft themselves caution against registry optimisation software and are very clear you are on your own if…

The Intel NUC should do fine as a server running ubuntu as long as you have configured it to do the hardware transcoding. Ideally 8th gen…

I bought one and it does Xinput mode just fine, you just need to hold the X button when you turn it on and it will connect to the PC as an…

Just a public service announcement that these were caught out sending private information "home" to Anker while simultaneously claiming…

I bought these recently with an almost identical setup and they were great. Braided, but not too stiff in terms of flexibility, nice rubber…

From memory its just the IPS model for that specific laptop. They offer the laptop with both a TN and IPS as an option, but from memory you…

I do have one of these, with the Ryzen 7 5700U (8 core), but the rest is exactly the same. The screen is by far the worst screen I've seen…

Because these gen 4 NVME SSDs legit get hot (over 100c), and they will also throttle when their temperature gets too high. Assuming you're…

Absolutely it is, and this isn't even one of those pentium or atom laptops too, it's stupidly good value. Just joking around the fact that…

Just sharing that even though it says it will take a maximum of 12GB (4gb soldered, add 8GB sodimm), we've got 20GB RAM running on one here…

This is almost a stereotype at this point, someone ignores the price and quotes features beyond the price point when you consider the whole…
