Decent monitor but be warned that it makes cracking plastic noises from heating and cooling at night (so not for the bedroom)

Yeh if you're happy with what you've quoted there don't ruin your standards forever by going to a "retina" Mac screen (which has a minimum…

The Apple retina benchmark of ~220ppi. Tho I will trade some pixels if it means more Hz (4k gamer refresh for eg)

Will defs get the MiniLED itch down the road so I'll wait patiently for a good deal for one of those.

Um'd and ah'd over this one back then, was missing USB-C (work with Macbook a lot) but then realised you can combine it with a DP adapter…

 Brateck Single Screen Aluminium Monitor Stand $12 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ with $55 Metro Order) @ Officeworks
Aluminium monitor stand from Officeworks on clearance. Height adjustable though you need to tighten/untighten with an Allen key. 360'…

Thanks, always wondered how to change the input without the remote. Is there a way to switch it on/off without the remote as well? A…

Yup. Tried this a while back and doesn't stay plugged in very securely and kept slipping out.

Still too pricey to be called a bargain for a luxury item imho

See this at the top of beginner-friendly still-focused travel camera picks in several roundups. Good in-body IBIS stabiliser? Also is 20.1…

Dell U2721Q Ultrasharp (good colour), or LG Ultrafines (Studio Display w. plastic in lieu of brushed aluminium) which you can find on…

If you're really keen, you can buy an eGPU (Razer Core X) with a higher spec AMD card (6900 XT?) and run it via USB-C. Now that would be…

So same deal as last year.. already have a 2nd Gen AirPod..

Bootcamp Windows with WSL Ubuntu :)

Not ink. Residue was easy enough to remove with eucalyptus oil. The shadow mark. Light abrasion using a pencil eraser helped, but still…

Recommend using these only on a protective case or cover for your laptop. Learned the hard way that they ruin (or dis-colour) the aluminum…

Not the best mouse for productivity. When you click and drag, it sometimes releases early - probably due to the way the button is designed.…

Yes can corroborate that this monitor has issues with an M1 Air. The latest Monterey update provides support for fixed 60Hz and variable…
24/11/2021 - 10:12
Yeh should have been clearer soz, I meant the M1 Air lol ("M1 (vanilla)", "M1 Pro", "M1 Max") Agree with y'all that the Intels should be…

Intel pros: - Multiple displays supported (3 or more I think) - Medium term software stability - Bootcamp Intel cons: - TDP at blast…

Steep enough discount to hold off on iMac 27" 2022?
17/11/2021 - 21:32
I have this one. The QS is a decent 4k monitor but 4k S2722QC (different from this deal which is QHD only) would be a better choice for Mac…
09/11/2021 - 10:48
Certainly compelling when compared to Mac/LG's own $1k 4k Ultrafine, which could get you three S2722QC's.
22/09/2021 - 00:14
The USB-C 4k (S2722QC) one. Macs only play well with those 2 features.
