Crazy, buy a single stick for $141 or two for $122

... and a great writeup by the OP

How much noise do the fans on these boxes make?

Yeah, me too. N36L and N40L. I upgraded the N36L case with a Lenovo m93q tiny mobo and NVMe SAS adapter. There are lots of tutorials out…

Same brand, on this site. But it expired. Maybe you should await Prime day next week.

Yeah I got the N150 from Amazon for $149. Only 256GB SSD though. I useful little box, especially with the dual LAN. In reality there's…

Uncle Roger needs schooling on MSG ;-) This stuff is better MSG, they add garlic powder to it, and comes in a handy shaker - good to take…

Yeah, Sony are spending more money on marketing than on product design. However, 30dB of ANC is probably close to the theoretical maximum…

I'd go for the IdeaPad. There isn't that much of a difference in build quality these days between IdeaPads and X1 Yogas. It is not an X1…

XM6 aren't really much better than their predecessors. According to Rtings scientific measurements they have slightly worse noise reduction…

I've had that Asus for 3 years now. It's a great router, especially with Merlin. However, the Flint has better specs, I'd probably get it…

Great writeup, OP. Thanks

Also watch the GST that AliExpress adds at checkout, that it is 10% and not 17.5%

The Flint 2 has better specifications and is cheaper. I run Asus because I like the Merlin firmware and reliability.

Lenovo loves putting shitty panels in all but the highest end laptops. At least they've stopped selling 1368x768 TN panels on the low-end…

You can report AliExpress GST tax fraud to the ATO. User Clear gave instructions here - takes 5 minutes.…

Just remember to double check the GST amount. AliExpress sometimes charges Australians 17.5% not the 10% they should.

Also jury nullification (look it up) is about the only way for citizens to void bad laws our politicians pass. Just don't mention it in…

Yeah, the E series is the budget line of Thinkpad's build quality not great, not terrible. The ranking is: E series - cheap L series - mid…

Seems a bit expensive. The same config with 256GB SSD was going for $150 2 months ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/891657

Also worth waiting for real reviews in a place like this:…

Also factor in the 17 to 20% GST AliExpress charges.

Kindles can now be jailbroken again, to use the vastly superior KOReader.

There are also junk Thinkpad ranges now, E and L series not as good as T series. Lots of businesses buy Ideapads.

This is the answer. Nvidia made 7% of their revenue from gamer last quarter. 92% from AI and "other" was the remaining percent. AMD and…

OK, thanks for that, Clear. I went through the process on the ATO - for those others complaining, it's a quick process to fill in their…

You're being ripped off, AliExpress only charges me 17.5% GST. ;-) I don't know how they get away with this.

The Samsung S10e is the closest in size and quality to the S7, if you're willing to buy 2nd hand. It is old, though, so you won't get…

I bought an Asus RT-AX86U Pro 2 years ago, but if I was buying something now, I'd get the Flint 2, especially if I were running Wireguard.
