Do you think the Legion 7 would be much of a step up on this, with the same keyboard advantages you mention?

At this current moment in time, what would be the best gaming laptop to buy, under £3k, minimum screen size of 16"? Was considering high-specced Lenovo Legion 7, but heard there are display caveats.....

Does anyone else have this machine and is able to vouch for it?

Thanks! This looks pretty good...

Thinking of getting a new laptop and want it to be as snazzy as possible, preferably coming in under 1500 pounds. The main game played will be FM2017 (I know that isn't going to tax it to the limit graphic-wise but I'd still like to play it with every resolution cranked up to the max). So...

I had one and then decided to go WIRED LAN when I read of the increasing evidence for health detriment of close-proximity WIFI - particularly for young children. France have already banned it in primary schools and Germany are following suit. I have a 3 and 5 yr old. Since the switch I've found...

I think we have success!! It appears just as FerretBoy says... once you have done the one-time link (using the ethernet cables etc), the RADIO is then centrally registered with your Spotify ACCOUNT. So, you just select that as the player when you run your cellular data driven app on the phone...

Ok... I LANed up the radio and ran the Spotify app on the radio itself - it sticks at "waiting for user". Then, I put an ethernet in the iPhone so they were both on the same network - radio app FINDS me. I'm playing Spotify via the radio, turned the phone off, Spotify still works via radio. I...

Yeah, I've since read something else on a Spotify FAQ which does promote this method. So do Roberts just not know what they are doing/talking about or is it a case of it not working on THEIR devices? I'm thinking of getting one and just trying it - can always take it back to the shop.

Aggghhh... back to square one. Roberts Radio have just tested the "Smart phone 3G/4G" connection with Spotify Connect on one of their radios and it did not work. The Spotify Connect icon actually disappears. Then they directed me to a paragraph on the Spotify help page which says "for Spotify...

I spoke to Roberts about that one. They said you can't STREAM Spotify directly to the radio via LAN or wifi - you have to stream it to iPhone, iPad etc (over wifi ) and Spotify Connect then links to your device and this plays it through the radio. So the radio is almost just acting as a speaker.

Yeah, but you'd still be streaming the music via your phone, right? Bluetooth would just be a means of sending it to the radio/player.

Does anyone know of a radio or radio-like device which will stream Spotify directly and cut out the smartphone / tablet middle man? I have a WIRED router and use powerline adapters and ethernet to provide network connections around the house. So, without wifi, the smartphone linking to a radio...

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll leave you guessing as to which I chose between the DrayTek and the skull cap.

I think the HH is said to still keep a WIFI signal going (to use the BT wifi app should you ever need to) even if a WIFI access pont is disabled. With regards to signal proximity, obviously you can't eradicate all risk these days. But even trying to limit immediate distance is better than...

Can anyione suggest a decent WIRED Router/MODEM (think it has to be VDSL) to replace the BT Home Hub 5? I don't just want to turn off the WIFI, I need a router which will not emit an WIFI signal full stop. Thanks!

Lots of good suggestions, thanks. It will be mainly used for TV (movies, sports etc - inc DVD, blu-ray) and occasional gaming on the PS3. 3D is not a deal breaker. I've heard it's not the next great thing everyone thought it would be and I'd rather have the best TV I can get for the...

About to replace 32" Panasonic LCD after quite a few years good service. What would about £700 get me for my money these days? Looking at about 42" and just the best picture and features I can get for that sort of price range.....

Thanks! You're the only person ever to reply to this question I've been asking forever :)

Ok. I know the audiophiles start twitching spasmodically when you say the words "music" and "soundbar" together, but if I REALLY want one to play music through my TV, which is the BEST one (no matter how inferior it may be to any other speaker setup) to get? I think one with a wireless subwoofer...
