Can someone help me with the electricity maths? If I buy one of these and take my 40 inch TV down to the park to set up an outdoor movie…

This one is close to ideal. It's small and light enough to carry all day, it's absolutely powerful enough (and will be for the next five…

I was on the verge of buying these some months ago at a similar price and then I started reading the reviews. You should read the reviews.

Give this one a miss, I'd expect orange and yellow brands to both have better deals in the pre- and post-Christmas sales. If you need one…

Most people don't need more than 8GB RAM, and those that do know that they do. It doesn't take much to browse websites or watch Netflix.…
jcon commented on HP Pavilion R3-5300G, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 180W Gold PSU, DVD Drive, Mouse/Keyboard, Windows 11 Home $571.20 Delivered @ HP eBay
Don't bother with this one - it doesn't fit any use case well other than be 'new' and have a big company name on it. If you're thinking of…
jcon replied to Krazyy on Beelink Alder Lake-N100 MINI-S12 Pro Mini PC, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD $259 Delivered @ Beelink Official Store Amazon AU

There are plenty of respectable gaming PC deals on this very website for about the $700-750 mark.
I used to manage a small fleet of HP laptops at work. The laptops were great, but the hubs were the absolute worst. We had three types of…

Two things to note about TechFast PCs. First is, upgrade the power supply from the generic default unit. It'll be sixty bucks well spent.…

No, but a crap-ton cheaper.
jcon commented on Décor Microsafe Oblong Set, Pack of 5 Pieces, Red $10.50 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
FYI - that whole range is very poor quality. It's brittle, the lids buckle, and lids from different packs of the exact same item don't…

jcon commented on Dewalt Cordless Circular Saw 165mm DCS391N with 5.0Ah and Charger $188.99 in-Store Only @ Bunnings
This is an ideal tool for any DIY'er and a perfect entry price. Also check out the DeWalt Atomic reciprocating saw.
jcon replied to Bearlion on Dewalt Cordless Circular Saw 165mm DCS391N with 5.0Ah and Charger $188.99 in-Store Only @ Bunnings
That's completely incorrect. They are simply used differently to 'right handed' saws. Try and find a 'right handed' 6 1/2 inch circular saw…
jcon replied to wasabisauce on Dewalt Cordless Circular Saw 165mm DCS391N with 5.0Ah and Charger $188.99 in-Store Only @ Bunnings
Most 6 1/2 inch saws are left handed. It's easier to see your cut line as well as make one handed cuts with a speed square.

The best thing about CoPilot+ PC's is all the data harvesting.
