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

If it's got a Windows Pro licence, you can activate and use the in-built Remote Desktop application. I'm doing that exact thing right now,…

My personal general work/office PC is lower spec'd than one of these - these will serve you well enough, and pretty good value all things…

This was a great deal back in 2020.

Is that second 'better' deal still active?

I prefer PassMark. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5138vs4835/AMD-Ryzen-7-7735HS-vs-Intel-i5-12600H They look pretty similar, with the…

Check the reviews on these, not too long ago I read some concerning feedback about the blade not being properly aligned with the foot…

Nothing better than kicking back on a rainy Sunday afternoon, cranking up the elevator jazz covers of 90's rock on my Panafonics hi-fi and…

Nope. I have them paired to a few different devices but have to reconnect them to each whenever I change device.

I'd say it's the best value of all the trade-quality brands. Anything more costly is probably overkill for DIY, but anything cheaper is…

I'd love to get some details, or even some good hints, about how you run this setup.

Nothing wrong with 8th Gen laptops for most people doing ordinary office work. Smart companies don't change just for the sake of changing.

Should be fine. If you find the battery dies after a year or two you should be able to source a replacement battery and DIY the changeover.…

Re. stock levels, I was pleasantly surprised this is available for delivery and delivery is free, so don't bother trying to chase stock,…

Best value Drill/ Impact Driver/ Grinder combo on the market right now by far, with the paddle switch grinder model to make it extra good…

This is a $150 computer at best when we see 8th Gen PC's hitting at the $200 mark. Edited: Or 10th Gen for $330…

The Surface range is well known for being practically unrepairable. They're great computers as long as your employer is paying for them

That's a fair point but these specific machines would have already gone through the DOA/ early failure filter. I used to have the same…

This computer at this price is a terrible deal. By the time you take into account five years of battery degradation and wear and tear,…

The seller took a disingenuous and passive-aggressive tone and that annoyed me so I decided that instead of just letting a bad deal slide…

i7's? Nope, Because it doesn't matter. Most people don't need or care about the difference between i5 and i7. They want YouTube, Netflix,…

Asking nearly $500 for a four year old, battery-thrashed laptop is too much when I could've bought a brand new MSI mid-range gaming laptop…

Find the reviews before you buy the D-Link Eagle kits. I was going to buy one because D-Link is a reputable brand and these are by far the…

Worst I ever saw was an HP whose motherboard firmware only permitted it to recognise the two lacklustre OEM GPU's which could have been…

Thanks for that, last time my creatine ran out I had to pay in-store *retail* prices. This is a great deal.

I own one of these and use it regularly, it's no problem at all.

Get a PCIe extender ribbon cable and try plugging the GPU into the other PCIe slot. I've found that the slot where a GPU can physically fit…

Any chance you can link some details so I can find a way to get one?

I think you should take a look at the site before you object to this. Many of these items are already massive bargains and the additional…

Yes. Also makes a great adjustable frame for a WFH desk.
