Soldato
Bought a TV at 3am, as you do. Realised it didn't have a headphone socket at 5:30am and had to cancel. Shame, it was a nice Samsung telly... well, a lot nicer than the one I have! I didn't realise Apple weren't the only ones dumping perfectly good analogue tech.
I've also been on the lookout for a sort-of gaming laptop, as life is very up in the air these days (actually very on Virgin Rail, but that's less poetic), and got a Lenovo Y700 for £699. 6700HQ, 16GB, 256SSD, 960m. It's a bit more sluggish gamewise than my desktop 7950, but it'll do the job... the job being mainly to stop me looking at silly money 1060 based laptops! Cheapest I saw over the week was £1100 and I couldn't bring myself to hit the buy button.
The weird thing is that the last time I treated myself to a decent laptop it was 2003, and the graphics in it were Radeon 9600, which must mean that this laptop is ten times slower... or something.
