Using the LS1008G at home for almost 18 months and it has been great (I know these are pretty simple). The metal build quality for $20 is…

Great game. Artstyle has aged well and gameplay is very reminiscent of Zelda from the Ocarina through Skyward Sword era. Runs well on…

These are great. Stable and wheels work super well, even on carpet.

While you're probably joking, worth mentioning how terrible these quick loan companies are: "The annual variable interest rate for new…

GST does seem to be calculated without any special discounts eg. Vouchers or new user. But not 10% of the hyperinflated fake RRPs many…

This model sounds and feels pretty bad. The case is awful and pingy, the switches are dry and scratchy and the keycaps are (subjectively)…

Just keep in mind these are meant to be desktop studio monitors. They are designed to be used up close and to have a flat sound profile.…

These are the US model, so that's why they mention Norelco. The local model is purely Philips, but is currently $20 more, so not in the…

Good for travelling overseas. Don't need an adapter or frankly even the wall plug if you just borrow from your phone.

$1099 via Samsung AU for the 128GB (and 1199 for 256GB).

It takes about 5 mins to work for me. I realise experiences may vary but a few weeks sounds like a stretch.

Yeah, lots of people have these from Aliexpress (myself included) and I haven't heard of any issues. Plus, failure rates for these CPUs are…

Yep, there's a compromise for every option. S23 - older model, shorter support, slightly weaker screen. S24 Exy - worse reception and…

Some people would actually prefer the S23 CPU over the S24 CPU, since they went Snapdragon 8G2 to Exynos 2400.

You will pay so much more for a 5800X3D for a relatively minimal gain. 5800X3D on Aliexpress just doesn't go nearly as low as this despite…

I am currently using a CPU from this seller (also upgraded from 3600). For what I am playing most of the time (FFXIV) it's a massive…

3070 at 1440p. Improvement depends on the game. FFXIV got a 50% boost in crowded areas. FH5 got basically nothing. Most games are somewhere…

Depends on your GPU and main games, but it was a huge upgrade for me. For $240 it's such good value. Sure AM5 has a great upgrade path, but…

Can I ask why people would anyone get this to use docked full-time? Surely a laptop or even SFF desktop would be better value?

You will notice a difference, but how much depends on your use case. I have a 3070 driving 1440p and went 3600->5700X3D. Stuff like Final…

This. In most cases, the gap between the 5700X3D and the 5600X is as big as the gap between the 3600 and 5600X. If you're CPU bound, it's…

Considering the power of the Steam Deck, you're not running much at 4K@60 anyway. Bandwidth should still handle 1080p60 easy and one review…

There were only two DLCs and they're already out. Not like XV where they needed like 17 DLCs to patch all the story holes.

Most people won't recommend investing in an old platform unless you're just upgrading the CPU in an existing build. However, if you want…

Reiterating your recommendation: 5700x3D needs a newer BIOS than the 5800X3D, so check you NEED to check for compatibility with this…

Diamond and Pearl remakes were DULL and had limited sustained interest. If you played DP, they are literally the same experience with a…

Technically no, but not far off, but with better driver optimisation, thermals and a better modem than the Exynos. It's an insane phone for…

8s Gen 3 is weaker than 8 Gen 3. All cores are downclocked by a little, the Cache is 33% smaller and the GPU has half the shaders (but…

Surely having to replace/recharge batteries is more inconvenient than any benefit for most cases?

For mice, sure. What's the issue with cables on keyboards? Just the aesthetic?
