If you find out, let me know! This ticks a lot of boxes, but if it can game as well then I think it's a definitive purchase

I'm also curious about this - if it can handle some games (not even at 4k), this might be a winner!

Interesting - looks like we actually have a worse version where I am. They don't have 1000/100, which is what I'm assuming your plan is -…

I haven't, but I'll check them out! 900/110 is pretty good, and while I don't necessarily need that much download, it'll be cool to have!…

Same, eagerly awaiting the day when something similar is available in Brisbane!

Can confirm, it's been available to watch out there for a while now :)

Ah, the lenovo education store isn't a bad idea once she's got her email - thanks, we'll check it out if there's any good deals there! Also…

Thanks for the suggestion and in depth review of things, this is perfect! I'll keep an eye out for a good laptop that has everything I need…

Do you have any recommendation for her? As I said in my other reply I don't really know what stuff they teach in cyber/programming courses,…

The only thing is if she wants/needs to get into things like VMs/docker etc, would it not be better to have a better CPU for that? I'm not…

Out of curiosity if my SIL wants to start a course in cyber security and needs something for programming/light gpu stuff, would something…

I keep wanting to get some smart plugs, ideally with energy monitoring, but there's so many cases of these types of units just dying after…

Sounds good, thanks!

This seems quite good for ps5 gaming right? 4k 120fps, hdmi 2.1, all the good stuff for it? Anything I'm missing?

Ah, well spotted! I had a look around and other places (I think The Good Guys) said it was 120Hz, but when I looked at the spec sheet…

This TV seems... rather good? HDMI 2.1 and VRR for console gaming, 75", eARC, 120Hz refresh rate? What's the downside if I'm going to be…

If it's your thing, this has been on certain seas for a while now

Car dealerships can be evil, evil places. I had to deal with one a few years ago when my sister in law was getting a car and they were just…

Oh man, I really want to get more but I've already got like 4-5ish sitting around doing nothing that I still need to make more plans for...…

Ah, normally I was told that you could put things like the year, IMDb/TVDB ID etc in the movie/folder name for things like plex/JF to pick…

I'm like 99% sure you can do this with plex as well. What are some examples of metadata that you use locally just so I can double check?

Yup, I don't doubt it, but, for my circumstances, one option was to spend a bunch of time (and maybe money) looking into what DDNS things…

Yeah, given how customisable jellyfin is I'm not surprised there's solutions to my problems, but because I already had plex set up, I…

I haven't tried emby, but I tried jellyfin a little while ago after using plex for ages. It's worth noting that I have quite a few remote…

That's what worries me - I've heard of a lot of issues of them dying even under a normal load, which is a little annoying :(

I've heard of instances of the smart plug dying, but not sure how the end device is, but I'm not 100% sure about that. That said, if smart…

That's great to know, thanks! Do you know how quick the energy monitoring is? Is it instant when local?

I've been around on the HA forums and there's people saying it's an issue with all brands - Kogan, Meross, TP link etc, so not related to a…

Does this work locally with HA by any chance? Also I keep hearing about how smart plugs that people have keep dying on them even though…

I've asked this before to a provider and they said it moves with you. Definitely worth double checking just to be sure, but when I asked…
