Panzer04 commented on [Prime] ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 2025 (Intel Core U9 285H, Nvidia RTX 5070 8GB, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD) $3999 Delivered @ Amazon AU
If you were buying this the go would have been the legion 7i for 3k last week, though that deal is gone now. Even now a legion 5i with 5070…

JiGaXD on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 Laptop: Intel Ultra 7 155U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD $1899 (Was $3739) Delivered @ Lenovo Outlet

I find it hard to believe you can't find something with a modern CPU for this price. There's a big difference going to ARL/LNL for power…

It's shocking, but that's a 7 year old laptop now. You'd be damn hard pressed to find a computer from 2018 that would fetch 1k today. Maybe…

azngamer on [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 $79 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

It's not instant KO, but iirc the timings are tighter. Presumably HP and attack goes up too, so you need to more reliably parry both to…

azngamer on [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 $79 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

My experience was that none of those things reliably helped you parry. You eventually related the visual and sound cues to the timing but I…

cktftw on [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 $79 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

It's more so that it's purely a game of memorisation. Similar looking attacks can have completely different parry timings. Some attacks…

cktftw on [PS5] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 $79 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Nah. Cool aesthetic but I'm going to be honest the gameplay is meh. The designers seem to have taken it as a challenge to make it very…

leighzor on Legion Pro 5: 16" OLED Gsync / Ryzen 7 8745HX / 1TB SSD / 32 GB RAM / RTX 5060 + 27" Monitor & Backpack $2381 Delivered @ Lenovo

Yeah for most users doesn't matter, but if you're doing something where the cores help (eg. code compilation) the intel processor is…

ElSyd on Legion Pro 5: 16" OLED Gsync / Ryzen 7 8745HX / 1TB SSD / 32 GB RAM / RTX 5060 + 27" Monitor & Backpack $2381 Delivered @ Lenovo

That was an issue with desktop raptor lake, don't think it's a problem with any of the laptop products, and especially not arrow lake.

AMD processor is a bit of a dog compared to intel processors in this price range. Weird that the Gen10 pro Intel version is old raptor lake…

alan737 on Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14 OLED AMD Ryzen AI 5-340/24GB/512GB SSD Laptop $998 & 10% Back Gift Card + Del ($0 C&C) @ Harvey Norman

It should be fine, they are making 12gb ramndies so it will work just like any other RAM setup. This isn't 3 8GB sticks, or an 8 +16 stick.…

These already exist for the older 7945hx/x3d variants in ITX form from minisforum, 600$/800$. Only downside is stuck with subpar SODIMM…

BigAsianMan on Apple MacBook Air 15" M4 24GB RAM 512GB SSD $2199 Delivered @ Technology Outlet

I mean, you should probably compare like with like (laptop v laptop). Handhelds are a different market altogether.

Android is a lot more flexible than iPhone. If there's something you want to do chances are you can find an app to do it, even if it's not…

Panzer04 commented on Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 32GB (2x 16GB) 7000MHz UDIMM Desktop Gaming Memory KIT $153.99 Delivered @ Patriot Memory Amazon AU
I'm more partial to kingbank memory from Amazon tbh. 48GB 6000 CL28 for 200$, 96GB 6400 CL32 for 400$. See if the stuff actually works when…

justtoreply on WD_BLACK SN850P 8TB NVMe M.2 SSD for PS5 (with Heatsink) $1093.15 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU

When 4TB drives are 300-400$ it looks a bit poor. I guess that's the premium you for 1 8TB stick instead of 2 4TB sticks.

jasswolf on [Perks] LG 65" OLED EVO G5 AI UHD 4K Smart TV (2025) $3395.75 (RRP $5295) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

Whats special about the 55" s90f?. Is it not a WOLED layout? I've been using a C2 for a few years, was looking around to see if there were…

RogueWolf on Lenovo LOQ 15.6" i7 16GB 512GB RTX 4050 6GB Gaming Laptop $1102 Delivered @ The Good Guys eBay

This is a lot older and a fair bit slower, but if you don't need the performance it'd still be pretty good. Still more than fast enough for…

I Smell Pennies on Acer Nitro V 16" Gaming Laptop Ryzen 5 16GB/1TB RTX4050 $1097 + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ C&C/ In-Store/ OnePass) @ Officeworks

Almost entirely dependant on what you do. Gaming will kill the battery in under an hour, website browsing could last 6hrs+, just depends on…

Smigit on MacBook Air 13" with M3 Chip: 8GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD $1497 Delivered @ Amazon AU

And also, 256mb to 4gb is a 16x increase in base spec.4 to 8 is only 2x. Even 250$ miniPCs come with 16GB nowadays XD. It truly is a crime…

BatmanAU on MacBook Air 13" with M3 Chip: 8GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD $1497 Delivered @ Amazon AU

RAM capacity only matters if you actually use all of it (eg. Leave a bunch of chrome tabs open and go do something else) If you don't use…

BertieBrown on MacBook Air 13" with M3 Chip: 8GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD $1497 Delivered @ Amazon AU

I'd say it's an anchoring thing, but realistically most people won't know why it matters. I have to wonder if this is just Apple screwing…

Tbh, actually not that bad in this respect. It's a pretty reasonable portion (for a guy, at least)

hamwhisperer on Lexar NM790 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD with Heatsink $299 Delivered / MEL C&C @ Metrocom

FWIW, there's not much reason for SATA to be cheaper nowadays. Same flash chips, just bottlenecked by the slow interface. In practical…

Panzer04 commented on [Pre Order] Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 from $8990 Rideaway ($500 Online Deposit Required) @ Royal Enfield Dealers
