I just got a new work laptop too. Not as pretty as a Mac but still pretty. Dell XPS 15 9570, i7 8750H, 32GB memory, 1050ti.
- that and a much better KB coming soon.
Welcome! I am SURE I saw it on the Amazon.co.uk website once upon a time. Might just need digging out.
That Dell is a nice spec, but then it wants to be for over £2k retail
.Nisi 4 Stop Reverse ND Grad filter
New shoes from Vivobarefoot for when I am climbing over rocks down at the beach
Monitor arm
And monitor arm fitted
Yes, I know I need a mouse
It's crazy money!
Fortunately Dell had 15% off so we saved about £500 on three machines, and we
upgraded the memory/SSD ourselves which saved a few hundred too
Firstly, what is the ND Grad Filter thing for? Looks like a cool business card
Secondly, weird question... How deep is that desk? I really love the setup - I currently have a small Micke desk from IKEA, but it's not deep enough for my usage
Haha, that ND Grad Filter thing is called a "Reverse Graduated Neutrel Density Filter" - so rather than the traditional light in the middle then getting darker toward the top edge. it is as its darkest in the middle and gets lighter toward the top edge. Its a filter to be specifically used when you have the sun at the horizon level or close to it. To counter balance the stronger light in that area
The desk is 70cm deep & 180cm long, it also weighs 80kg...its absolutely solid and I love it! To answer your inevitable next question its this one - https://www.conforama.pt/secretaria-schema - who seemingly only have stores in Spain & PT so I am not sure if it will do you any good. However, I might be wrong, you would need to google around.
I am very very pleased with how the setup is coming together. I've just ordered a keyboard and will be ordering a mouse on Payday. Logitech MX Master 2S & K780 keyboard to compliment. Apart from some backlighting for the desk and monitor it'll be about done then!
Finally, I am beyond chuffed with the monitor arm. An excellent product, professional presentation, great build quallity, awesome cable management built into it. Totally recommend the brand
Thanks for the desk info - I did wonder if it was 70cm deep, that seems to be pretty standard these days. The Micke Desk I use is 50cm deep, and although 20cm isn't that much of a difference, you'd really notice it! I think I'm going to get a nice bit of wood and have it cut to the right size and use some old IKEA desk legs to prop it up to the wall
- Sounds good, the depth is great. Not too big and with the monitor on the arm you still have plenty of space. Go for it!

I bought the 9550 off MM for £750 even better value
I've actually got a Pentium mobo at my mum's... Never did a build with it as I moved on but I was led to believe it worked about 15 years ago! Think it's a 200/233. Even has USB portsDOS Project. I've got a 386 and I'm currently playing through the Secret of Monkey Island but I want something faster for later games but still pure DOS. I "just" need a motherboard now. The one I had lined up is dead
As I found when I was looking for a new wallet a lot of places market plether as authentic/real imitation leather, it's not flipping leather then is it!?Photo of the case, not to everyone's taste, and tbh, I prefer a darker brown but they don't do it. It'll do, plus it covers up the Apple logo
I think its is fake leather even though the description says real. It is soft and the vents in the right places with plastic surrounds.
