It’s not really comparable. The Lenovo is a Windows Hello webcam (faceID style unlocking) and the UGREEN isn’t.

I got my refund from Baseus for my 65w 30000mah power bank. Good on them! I'll definitely buy them in future. I had a look at the power…
Yikes what a disaster. Did you return it under warranty?

GroupedZZ25 on WD Red Plus 8TB 3.5" NAS HDD $269 Delivered / C&C @ Centre Com
I was going to recommend a used WD HD550 16TB, but I just saw that price has shot up to $360. :0 I paid ~$290 only a month ago. Man…
I’d probably buy a used enterprise drive. At that money you can get about twice the capacity from East Digital.
Have you thought about a used EV? There are a fair few used ones around now and they can save a lot in petrol and servicing. Your daily…
Highly recommend the lifetime pass!

Looks like a pretty significant camera sensor improvement on this model.

Man what a terrible deal… who is this even for? Surely if you can pay $1300 for a 256GB iPhone 16, you’d pay the extra $100 to get the…
I experimented with it a year ago. I found the evening congestion was terrible. Honestly it wasn’t worth the $40 a month. Even a basic…

Aussie Broadband no changes here yet. Still on 1000/50
