How do they stack up against the black box frozen pizza from Aldi, the one that is called "The Best Margharita Pizza". That's my usual…

Gamer chars like the Secret Labs are comfy but they aren't necessarily good for you. I hear they're built like shit but no perosnal…

I wouldn't pay $249 for it no... but I mean it's free and it sounds pretty damn good.

PolyMax is a great sounding synth, not much else to say about it other than that. Convincingly analog sounding. It was previously given…

8GB is anemic but there's a memory upgrade option to 16GB which is serviceable. None of these will perform very well in Windows unless…

It's the Outlet so stock comes in and out regularly. It looks available right now to me though, even added it to a cart to double check.…

It may not be too bad. Software "RAID" isn't going to freak out the way hardware RAID does at a bit of instability. Full disclosure, I…

Here you go. https://www.lenovo.com/au/outlet/en/p/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-slim-series/ideapad-slim-5i-gen-9-14-inch-intel/83daxa20au

Lenovo outlet regularly has stuff that would fit the bill. Right now there's an IdeaPad Slim, $750, 125H (which smokes the CPU in this…

I don't see why this deal is upvoted as much as it is. It's a perfectly servicable laptop with good specs for the price but it's a low-end…

Great software. Generally not as good as native frame generation that comes on your GPU but for any case where that isn't available this is…

Which can be fine if you want to run Linux on them, they're in good condition, they have the expandability you want. A T480 (and many…

Yeah I think Gamers Nexus did a review of these HP Omen PCs and they absolutely despised them. It's not just the price either.

It's a cracker CPU for virtualization. Lots of cores, very low power, very cheap for what it is. If you want to run a homelab I think it's…

Yeah the ARM processors are great. Not just the speed and battery either, they also run quieter, they also deal better with going to sleep…

Yeah, but you can use Stablebit Drivepool to combine them, or on Linux something like mergerfs.

I've never used TrueNAS so I can't comment on that but with a JBOD device like this I would be looking at passing USB through to a VM on…

Agreed. RAID is temperamental and easy to mess up. There are software options, I used to use Drivepool ages ago and you get to keep all…

This is generally cheaper. But it's also an entirely different architecture. This work better for people who want to keep their compute and…

Yeah with these AI AMD chips I'd be considering them primarily for local LLM work. As you mentioned, an MS-A2 is for most all cases far…

Depends on the type of games you run. There are some games that benfit a ton from the x3D CPUs while not being graphically intensive.…

They aren't at all similar. Sriracha is a thick and garlick heavy sauce. This is more comparable to the other watery, fermented, American…

Thanks dude, didn't know about chicken in non-frozen-tenders form, I'll look into it.

Yep. Key point is that there's plenty of chicken tenders that are cheaper, some of them taste pretty good, but these are very high in…

You should throw in some case options that are low-key. I reckon you'd sell a good amount more. Lots of people don't want RGB and glass…

They are great value for money, but they're also not great. For your average person you could probably buy this and you're set for the next…

For 11th gen that would be stuff like the i3's, Pentium and Celeron stuff. Especially the two core processors.

Pretty good. Nothing fancy, but ticks all the boxes for being a completely serviceable and usable laptop. Usually at this price you get…

Decided to try and compare this to a SFF setup for homelabbing. I'm going to use a 5825u based system for comparison. Very different…

The Ryzen 3550H has twice the threads and outperforms both the N processors for any multithreaded workloads. The N processors are much…
