6 year older system (processor is 4th Gen Intel - Q2-2013 rel) vs the I5-9500T in the Dell (9th Gen Intel - rel Q2-2019). Can it run…

first in line on [PS4, XB1] Hogwarts Legacy $39 + $9 Delivery ($0 C&C / OnePass) @ Target

It's got a decent story but you do spend a lot of time 'grinding' building up XP, skills. Seeing char 1,3,5,7,9 in that order sort of…

That's what I thought as well for a while but the wired connection on even 2023 TVs is 100 Mbit. The wireless can actually be faster. Other…

I've been using a 8 port tp-link GB switch for about 5 yrs straight (not even a day of wonkiness). Just works, if and when it does give up…

The 12.2 inch screen is a bit small but I find the 13.3 inch screen size just right. I recently bought the Yoga 370 (13.3 inch touchscreen)…

14 inch screen for kids. The next standard size is 15.6 inch. This one is a 16 inch so will definitely be a 'chonky' one for the…

My experience with after sales support has been good for the QN90B. The TV was fine but the solar remote started discharging very fast.…

For arcade the Pi is just fine but I'm finding the SFFs these days handle the 32 bit onwards systems better. The scene is always on the…

It's been on OzB before (last time was July) and this is the most expensive it's been in those posts from the past. How is this a deal?…

This 45% NTSC is what is killing so many of these otherwise fine laptop deals. I know they need to cut corners to get this price point but…
