Agret on [XSX, PC] Free Code for Gears of War: Reloaded for Owners of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition @ Xbox

Same here. I've owned the digital version of the game since it came out on Xbox One and checked both the Windows and mobile apps as well as…

PainToad on [Refurb, eBay Plus] Apple MacBook Air 13.3" M1 (2020) 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Delivered $545.22 @ Aus Computer Traders eBay

It could be down to a difference in base spec, with the 2020 Intel-based Air coming with a Core i3-1000NG4 which is a 2C/4T chip with a 48…

Annoyance with the proprietary cable is a good shout, and I don't think it has any wireless charging support either. The whole device feels…

Time for a ramble review. TL;DR it's fine as long as you're not expecting anything flashy, fast or fun. Never really "got" smartwatches but…

For the games I play, it's typically been somewhere between about 1.7x and twice as fast. I've been using 1440p 165Hz monitors, but picked…

$1049 for the 9070, $1139 for the 9070 XT. 9070s are available at RRP, 9070 XTs are not ($1249 for the cheapest models I can see). I…

I'd say it's more like similar prices for similar performance. The expected generational price vs. performance jump just didn't arrive,…

Fair, fair. I've been responding to some other comments so the exact context was lost on me. I personally don't think Blackwell is going to…

I'm sorry, what year is it? Surely you're trolling but I'll bite anyway. A GTX 1070 Ti for $500... when 3070s are selling for [that or…

FuRyZ on Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti WINDFORCE 16GB Video Card $1509 + Delivery ($0 C&C SYD) @ Mwave (Sold Out) & JW Computers

Can we _please_ dispel with the notion that either of AMD or NVIDIA has more or less driver bugs than the other? They've both had their…

Yep, some pros and some cons to either this Dell or a comparable Surface Pro, but IMO performance is a wash between the two. Big plus…

In some cases yes, but in this case these generations are essentially the exact same as each other with minor differences in clock speeds,…

I'd probably bite as well for a 16GB model. Would make for a good replacement for my old Chromebook Duet.

Performance wise, the raw difference between the CPUs on paper won't be much. Not all 10th gen CPUs are made the same, and these Comet Lake…

Overly long ramble incoming but I recently made this switch. Ultimately, it really depends on whether or not you're happy with the…

IIRC the 3DS uses a different pixel structure that makes it look perceptually lower resolution than an actual DS screen. DSi XLs all have…
