It's not even close to a 12th Gen i3. 6th Gen were garbage even when they were new. Anything less than 8th i5 Gen is functionally obsolete...

For sure, and I'd say you should keep using that until it's a burned out husk. I wouldn't buy one though.

congo on Sony CD/DVD Hi-Fi System with Bluetooth CMTSBT40D $104 (Was $349) + Delivery ($0 to Metro Areas/ C&C) @ Officeworks

For a hundred bucks it's great value, but setting aside the price it's light on bass and limited volume.

Pecan on Jonny's Caramel Popcorn Delights $2 @ Coles (Online Only Special, Select Stores)

Every kernal is crisp and delicious. Tastes better than fresh. I stand by my high praise on this.

Apparently it's called a 'Smokey Cokey'.

Jonny's is *the best* pre-packaged popcorn. The Sweet and Salty is near close to perfect - flavour and texture. Buy some.

bOngOCaT on Morgan 5ft Platinum Empty Boxing Bag $104.95 (Was $141.95) + $17 Shipping @ MO REPS Fitness Store

Empty is vastly cheaper to deliver. Also, the fill determines the density & weight so you can configure it for you own usage.

No. This is not good for anyone, not at this price.

If 1995 calls back, can you please get it it to remind me to sell my Blockbuster shares and buy Apple?
