Excellent, that's all good to know! Thanks for the heads up! We'll keep an eye out for the eligibility criteria to make sure we get the…

So this is weird - for me it shows 100k, I tried incognito and still 100k, so I tried a different browser incognito and still 100k. Then I…

I've never churned credit cards before and wanted to get into it now since we've got some trips coming up that we can buy things with. I…

Amazing, it's been a while since I've looked into laptops/PCs and have no idea what's what any more! Didn't want to get something not…

My SIL is looking at doing a cybersecurity course this year and needs a laptop for that and some light gaming. Would this laptop be good…

These are some pretty good deals! I'm looking at going to Europe in Oct/Nov with Singapore Airlines - does anyone have any ideas when…

I consistently hear about how often these WiFi switches (in general, not these specific ones) die, usually at the 12-18 month mark. I don't…

Woah, that's such great value! I'm super sad I missed out, though I don't know what I'd do with another computer! (I already have a plex…

We have Twinkly lights (I don't think this exact one) and HA and it works nicely together. They use wifi but are local, and have their own…

That's fair, but as you said, people have different use cases. The shelly relays I have are all local, so they're fast and not internet…

So weird question - we have a bunch of [shelly relays](https://www.ozsmartthings.com.au/products/shelly-plus-1) (like this, but the older…

So I've been wanting to get my own domain for a while and set it up to have some server related stuff on it, and just be a general website…

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…
