Phoebus commented on Free One Month Trial @ YouTube Premium Music
I've got used to using Newpipe and Freetube. Don't think I'd ever bother with YouTube again

Don't get it on your hands unless you want hairy palms

I'm still waiting for 20% Lenovo cashback

I still have my 2yo Victus 5800H RTX3060 that I got from Gerry Harvey for under $1,100.

Not bad. Getting a bit more for the money, however it will be a bit heavier (2.5kg). I assume the RAM is upgradable too. Good choice if it…

From what I've read this is a bit wrong. You should only ever allocate 1GB to the iGPU. The system will then allocate any required shared…

I wonder if there's any point allocating more than 4GB to an iGPU like this. 2GB is probably plenty

Yes but only 16GB RAM

for that size you want 4k, but 13yo kids only care about refresh rate.

I think most of the 2025 models are coming out in March-May. There should be some nice discounts from Lenovo and Dell soon too.

good deal. Tempting but but the CPU. Other options also eligible for 20% off but this is probably the best deal.

How much to upgrade to AMD?

X large? Spec says it doesn't support the weight of my 4 month old puppy. Temporarily OOS.

very old APU, otherwise looks like a quality laptop. Zen3 almost 4 years old Vega8, almost 7 years old.

Waiting for this price on the Strix Point version.

inflation is crashing.

a "New refurb" 11th gen Intel?? I doubt it's new. Still, looks like a pretty good quality package for portability with a decent screen.

Phoebus commented on ASUS ROG Ally Gaming Handheld (W11, Ryzen Z1 Extreme, 512GB, 1080p 120hz Display) $899 + Delivery ($0 C&C/In-store) @ JB Hi-Fi
handhelds are way overrated. Better off getting a lunar lake, arrow lake, Strix Point or Strix Halo laptop.

2x3W. Not a party speaker but good enough to give some sound for a laptop.

I wonder how this compares with the Legion 5 Slim. If it can draw up to 230W then it can't be too bad for gaming

LOL. If you want security updates you'd best just stick to Cisco or HP.

This isn't half bad. They come with three 2.5G WAN/LAN ports so you can use them as wired access points and have two spare 2.5G ports on…
