Have they put Gsync into them now? Over HDMI? Thought we'd have to wait for HDMI 2.1 cards.

They can put out 4k 60 over HDMI, but not 4k 120.

Arrived today in the post. My Kickstarter copy of Shenmue 3

Still waiting for mine. I expect it will come in the bog standard box though as I was only on the $100 tier.

I got a personalised tin of Quality Street from John Lewis. You need to choose at least 3 different sweets to go inside, otherwise you can have as few or as many as you want. I went for the purple ones, strawberry delight, orange crème, orange crunch and a John Lewis exclusive one, the crispy truffle bite. Going to store it away to enjoy during Christmas

^ That could make a good present for someone I know, can you have 1 of each for 2 flavours then just have 300 of another?

Picked up a new laptop, £500 for:

AMD 3550H (4c/8t)
8GB RAM
1080p 120Hz IPS
256gb NVME SSD
1650 4GB
Full RGB KB

Going to chuck another 8GB in for Dual Channel and a 1TB SSD for storage.

I've seen this mentioned a few times, either you aren't sure what g sync is or you've been missold as I am 99% sure no TV on the market has g sync.

Edit: it appears I have eaten my own words. My apologises. Turns out an update a few weeks allowed the some of the latest tvs to install some g sync software and latest Nvidia drivers allow to be compatible with the tvs. I hadn't even realised Nvidia where rolling out g sync to free sync monitors yet thought it was still in the works.

Which model is that? Was it £500 new?

Looking for a new ASUS to replace my N550. Over 5 years of daily abuse are slowly taking its toll on the poor beast.
Not sure what to get as I want a touchscreen but not that folding nonsense and I don’t want to spend 2 grand.

That would make a really good Christmas present for someone in my family seeing as my name is Street!

Yep, brand new. FX505DT - £629.99 but you get a 20% discount if you use a certain companies 6 months interest free credit with a code.

Edit: My previous laptop (XPS 13) had a touchscreen and I can barely recall using it. A good thing to have in a 2in1/convertables etc. but for general usage, I can't say I'll miss it.

Very apt

I think they've been doing this for some years. I find QS awful chocolates, so it's a no show for me.

That's pretty cool, wonder if Cadburys ever do it (or ever have done it) with roses.

Woolworths used to do it in the early 1990s with Roses and Quality Streets.
