    Asus ROG GA502DU for Web Development

    Hi there, I'm currently looking at the Asus ROG GA502DU as it seems to cover all the bases when it comes to performance, including 16GB RAM and a decent graphics card. However, something which makes me slightly nervous is the Ryzen 7 - simply because I've always been used to Intel processors...

    Another laptop recommendation needed!

    Thanks for the heads-up, I ended up finding the same video you posted actually which confirmed this haha. Ah interesting. This is now the complication as I've found a Dell with a better graphics card, large HDD and average size SSD and generally an all-rounder for about £200 less (£999) than...

    Another laptop recommendation needed!

    Ah I thought as much! Ok that gives me a great starting point. My thought was to go with the 1660ti anyway which at this price point is the Max-Q but should be more than sufficient. Good shout about upgradability - how would I be able to get more information as to whether RAM or SSDs are...

    Another laptop recommendation needed!

    Thanks Soldato! I had a look on OCUK and spotted these two likely candidates - one's an i5 and the other is a Ryzen 7 - will I see much difference between those and a i7 9750 which seems to be bundled with everything these days...

    Another laptop recommendation needed!

    Hi all, For those that have been following and replying to my posts, you may remember I've been through 2 laptops now where the same screen fault appeared - a Dell in 2018 and now an Asus this year. After a long battle getting them to replace the laptop, Asus have finally backed down and said...

    So I sent my CoolerMaster keyboard off for repair, but also got this...??

    Hi all, I recently sent my CoolerMaster keyboard off for repair and presumably as a "thank you" or apology for it going wrong in the first place, along with my replacement keyboard I got a pinball machine ball shooter...as you do?? Has anyone else received random "gifts" like this? haha...

    Need a Web Development laptop

    I'm not a massive fan of laptops but main reason is I commute so want to be able to work on things on the move and do some training so I can make use of my 2 hours each way every day!

    Need a Web Development laptop

    Hi there, So I've been biding my time for a while now waiting on new laptop models to be released but it seems nothing too much has changed in the landscape. I used to have a Dell 7577 but due to some problems with the screen I ended up returning it and getting a full refund. The main reason...

    The official Ces 2019 laptops

    Personally I think they should do away with webcams altogether - the ones integrated into a laptop are never that good. When was the last time any of us used a webcam for any length of time? I think the last time I did was about 10 years ago!

    Xbox 360 Couch co-op games for my wife and I

    Thanks for the replies everyone - bit delay in my response! I decided to give some Lego games a go for now (still working our way through Lego Movie Video Game and have got a fair bit further with Dungeon Siege 3). If I spot Portal in a cheap sale I might pick it up but £15 seems a bit steep for...

    The official Ces 2019 laptops

    That's cool and everything but is there anything actually affordable (i.e. within the £1,000-1500 price range) that someone can get with decent graphics? I like the Aero and everything and given an endless budget I'd buy it in a heartbeat but my money just doesn't go that far. I've even been...

    Xbox 360 Couch co-op games for my wife and I

    Hi all, So my wife and I have been working our way through the 360 catalogue of co-op games including Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Fable 2 & 3, Lego Movie Video Game, Lego Harry Potter (1-4 and 5-8) and have barely started Dungeon Siege 3. I'm on the lookout for some others but my wife isn't into...

    The official Ces 2019 laptops

    Yeah, and me. I'm hoping the older models come down in price!

    New laptop needed - recommendations please

    Yeah same here - there just isn't anything in budget that's grabbing my attention at the moment. If there was a price drop for a 1060 or 1070-based laptop then I might be interested but for now there doesn't seem to be many deals happening.

    New laptop needed - recommendations please

    There's so many new laptops coming out soon that I wonder what the price drops will be for the current 1060/1070 models but I guess it's going to be a long time now until we get a new sale across retail for laptops...?

    The official Ces 2019 laptops

    With all these new laptops being announced to replace the current Gigabyte Aero range, are we likely to see significant price drops in the 2018 models? I'm interested in getting an Aero but £1,400 seems too much when compared to other laptops with similar specifications...

    CES 2019 - What can we expect?

    Soo....with the latest announcements of upgraded Gigabyte Aeros coming out soon, are we likely to see a price-drop on the 2018 range, or will they still be sold at pretty much full price until they run out of stock? Presumably the new Gigabyte Aeros will be priced at similar price points...?

    CES 2019 - What can we expect?

    Hmm, so far it seems CES appears to be a bit disappointing in terms of laptop announcements. The most interesting for me is the Samsung Notebook Odyssey. Asus still seem to insist that the small trackpad to the right of a keyboard is the way to go and to be honest their Mothership offering in...

    CES 2019 - What can we expect?

    Haha yeah undoubtedly there'll be plenty of "smart" devices and loads on 5G....I just hope there's a laptop release due somewhere along the line!

    Gaming Laptop ROG GL703GS?

    No worries, just thought I'd chip in my experiences. Yeah I quite liked the look of the Omen lineup...I haven't found one with a 1070 though and to be honest I wondered if it was just worth going up to a high-spec Asus or Gigabyte Aero. I also find the thunderbolt/USB C very useful for keeping...
