Disagree, I have a 350 nit laptop and only the top two brightness settings are usable during the day unless I'm not in any direct light…

Not to mention the 250nits, good luck using that anywhere remotely lit up indoors.

I would've agreed with you at base price, but at $90 I don't think there's any serious competitors that match the audio taste +…

Most laptop CPUs (except the super top end) have wattage limits well below desktops (my Intel i5 desktop can reach like 220W, my AMD 7735HS…

I think the 45%NTSC breaks this deal - I guess great if you're going to be plugged in with external monitors a lot. The 60WH battery won't…

Not as 'official' as the Japan travel site, but other local japanese sites and tourists sites do call them red. "Torii are usually painted…

This software is fantastic, I use it almost daily in a design-adjacent position and have had Designer since v1 was in beta. Just a note for…

Unless you're an actual business or individual with non-PSI income you'd only be able to claim the percentage of it for work use, not…

For your use case I wouldn't bother with a dedicated graphics card, it'll chew up power and increase the cost of the device for something…

The new M1/M2 chips are pretty good, but mac os can take a while to get used to if you've been on Windows the whole time. This Lenovo isn't…

They're still at a good price compared to real MSRP, but yeah extra $100 now. I think it makes some of the other headphone options more…

hah, guess we all do have different tastes and ears. My only real preference for the radiances is that the upper treble was a bit stronger!…

A2A says they still provide 1 year warranty on the products. Our consumer guarantees require them to fulfil it, potentially more than 1…

Focal Radiance Closed-Back Circumaural (Over Ear) Headphones $699 Delivered @ Addicted to Audio
A few other Focal headphones and speakers have been posted, but thought I'd post what I think is the best of the lot. "Highest" tier closed…

A2A (technically BusiSoft AV) are no longer distributors for Focal products in AU/NZ, so they're dropping all their products at what are…

No problem! I've been out of the laptop market for a while now (other than this purchase, previous laptop is nearly 11 years old and still…
28/08/2023 - 21:36
The deal's expired now (so the upgrades aren't free), but I'd say for your given use case, yes. If you're doing basic web browsing (ie…
28/08/2023 - 21:22
It's pretty good - had a couple others listen to it too to get their thoughts. I've listened to the ATH-MSR7se and ATH-MSR7b for about 4…

Picked up the Focal Radiance for $699 and bought the Elegia for a friend for $329. While the RRP's probably higher than actual price…
26/08/2023 - 16:40
At this point I'm guessing it was a bug, there was another deal that you could fit out one of the more expensive models with upgrades for…
26/08/2023 - 16:37
Yeah, unfortunately since about 10am :( There's still a discount, but while the deal was active both the CPU and RAM upgrades were…

I've got a 144Hz on my desktop with an actual dedicated card - is definintely nice for games. Would say 120Hz on this is pretty wasted, old…

bizarre, the official spec sheet says its 2.1 and capable. from the look of things previous gen was only capable of 4k 30hz, I guess either…
25/08/2023 - 00:14
Based on the specs, two of the USB-C ports are capable of DisplayPort 1.4a, so I'd say yes. Though if you're using it at a desk/dock, one…

Based on the previous post it does, I'll update this one with ports and stuff

Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5: AMD 7735HS, 32GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD, 16.0" WQXGA IPS 350nits 120Hz Laptop $1178.99 Delivered @ Lenovo
Same model as the [previous deal](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/791549), but new code and cheaper. It'll state $1,179.00 right up until…
24/08/2023 - 23:45
I saw that one before too, thinking of getting it. I think the issue was crossing the 2k threshold - if you take off the RAM or CPU upgrade…

Went this week and it wasn't an issue. There was only one waiter (which I had my concerns about) but we had our food ordered within 5…
