    Is this Lenovo decent for the price?

    Knowing exactly how you got that, I would have gone for it too and cancelled my Acer Nitro order, but it was a very shortlived deal that disappeared quickly (well, the saving reduced significantly). Count yourself as one of the lucky ones!

    What gaming laptop should I expect for c. £1k

    Hmm not a deal breaker for me, I tend to manage my installed software anyway. Although as individual games get bigger I recognise 1tb may become hard to manage! I did read reviews which suggested it had two slots though, eg...

    What gaming laptop should I expect for c. £1k

    So I took the plunge. Managed to get the below for £1040, below £1k if cashback tracks. Just wondering - is a 4070 gpu worth the extra cost? There are plenty of laptops with 4060 gpus floating around for less than £1k, so just checking I haven't been dazzled by a bigger number. Does the...

    Paradox making a star trek 4x game coming this year.

    Yeah I've played earlier iterations of that, although admittedly not recently - very much when it was a work in progress. There were also a bunch of mods made for the original botf, one of which which brought in a load more ship classes, made the dominion a playable race, etc. There's a lot of...

    Paradox making a star trek 4x game coming this year.

    Played it a bit, but not got far into it. Here's my take on it so far (well a mix of mine and things I've read which I have seen too): - I came into this having loved Birth of the Federation back in the day, so was hoping for an updated version of that. Parts of it are, but it's not quite as...

    What gaming laptop should I expect for c. £1k

    Thanks so much for the advice and thoughts. Couple more queries if I may: - are radeon gpus worth considering? I did a bit of research as there are one or two floating around on what seem like OK deals (eg. an Asus ROG Strix G15 with a 6800M gpu for under £1k), and got mixed messages - some say...

    What gaming laptop should I expect for c. £1k

    After a long while out of gaming, a few recent titles (eg. Starfield) are tempting me to get a semi modern gaming laptop. I've set myself a budget of £1k but am massively out of the loop on things, also seen a few things referenced which I am not sure how important they are. So a bit of general...

    Basic laptop advice

    Hi I'm trying to source a laptop for my dad. His desktop is slowly dying and I'm looking into laptop possibilities before exploring other desktop options. It'll only be used for basic stuff, mainly browsing the web and looking at his photos, but I'd like it to be reasonably portable too (very...

    Laptop for photo and video editing

    Thanks again. It's a dell laptop (inspiron 5000). Was a deal of the day but we decided not to go for it in the end. She's pretty much now decided to go for a macbook air - swinging factor was that adobe products as far as we could see you have to pay a monthly subscription which obviously bumps...

    Laptop for photo and video editing

    Thanks for your points! If it were a Mac she'd use the inbuilt software, such as Photos, iMovie. She'd also use Pages. If Windows, she'd use Adobe photo and video editing software (eg. Light room) , which involves buying on top. I think Adobe Indesign is the Pages equivalent. Frequency it...

    Laptop for photo and video editing

    Hi My other half is looking for a laptop to do some photo and video editing on. She doesn't play games so editing will be it's most demanding purpose. She also wants to future proof as much as possible. Portability isn't vital, it'll stay at home, I'd say she's ideally looking for a 15.6"...

    5.5 inch with good battery & camera under £200?

    Actually no struggling to find my list, only got an earlier version. I would send it to you rather than post it up as it's an excel spreadsheet but may not be so worthwhile now given it's not so uptodate. If you're relaxing your 'no-china' rule then there are definitely better value deals there...

    Android phone around £200 to replace 640XL

    The Xiaomi Mi A1 is also available on Amazon Spain: https://www.amazon.es/Xiaomi-Smartphone-Bluetooth-Snapdragon-ampliable/dp/B076VLDF6P/ 10 euros more than honorbuy but there are 'local' options at least if that one tempts you. Note it doesn't have NFC though, in case you use Android Pay or...

    Android phone around £200 to replace 640XL

    If you're not bothered about camera quality, the Lenovo P2 I think is a decent phone at that sort of price point. Other issue with lenovo is the customer service is apparently terrible, which is a problem if anything goes wrong! I've just written a longer post in a similar thread on this forum...

    5.5 inch with good battery & camera under £200?

    If the Huawei P10 lite tickles your fancy (isn't it only a 5.2 inch screen though? And camera isn't the best?) Then there's a deal at the moment to get it for anything between £90 and £155, depending on whether you use topcashback and whether that pays out, and how 1 month contracts work. The...

    **** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

    I'm the same Bellboy as is posting on that deal (1631, not the s fraudster) who has ordered one, and there're a few concerns that this hasn't progressed beyond 'processing' for buyers so far on the order. Plus concerns that the chinese equivalent of black friday on 11/11, coinciding with the...
