Poco Pad/Redmi Pad Pro has pretty poor hardware compared to this, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is far worse than MTK 8300, besides Xiaomi isn't…

Good luck finding the 5700X3D for a reasonable price since they have been discontinued.

iirc CN rom only has Chinese and English display language

Choose CN because global rom will not have updates and widevine L1 (needed for some streaming apps)

Link isn't affiliated so won't work with cashback.

Deal link works for me for US$159.24, ~246.63 AUD with the code

If you're paying 250 for an iPhone 8, I'm afraid you're being ripped off hard. $250 can easily get you a used iPhone 12 or SE 3.

Coins expire after 6 months

Yeah no reason to pick the A9+ over anything else

Spend the extra money on a Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro. Much better hardware.

~~AX86u supports merlin if you're interested in that.~~ Never mind they both seem to support it.

black plastic one is 331

Bad deal considering local stock with a SIM slot is similarly priced quite often.

Can't imagine many people doing that would also be spending almost $2k on a phone.

People buying a sub $1k pc probably not playing the latest AAA games considering they almost all cost ~$100 each. This machine is perfectly…

8GB is fine for esports, lighter/older titles, basically what will be played on a budget PC like this. They're probably getting good prices…

Shame that Dell cheaped out with the paint on the Latitude 5000 series, comes off really easily.

You can get one with a Boost SIM, should be unlocked.

Bad modem so bad battery life, but I don't think it's an issue at this price.

Basically same price so this, has 2 more cores and an iGPU just in case.

Both 1tb and 2tb seem to be single sided.

Depends on the game, I've seen pretty big differences when it comes to esports titles like CS2 (~150 fps vs 400+, 3600 vs 5600)

If your CPU is limiting you in anything then sure.

Pretty poor VRM, I think MSI B650M-a WiFi is better for 188.

I've seen a few 1070s for around $100, pretty decent option if your PSU can handle it.

They are usually CPUs from AMD/Intel that were intended for OEM systems (prebuilts) that were sold individually instead. Usually don't come…

Mainly PCIe 4.0, but I've heard the B350 and B450 Jginyue have better VRM thermals than the B550.

Doesn't really matter since AM4 is a dead platform. I've heard good things about Jginyue's B3/4/550 ITX although the BIOS usually isn't…

Chinese B450i boards are around $60 from what I remember. Plenty of other cheap ITX parts you can buy from AliExpress too.

Seen some people use a newer model with a modded single slot 4060 laptop GPU to make a 1L gaming PC
