I like the look of the yoga's personally and I know someone who had one and really enjoyed it, but I think in this instance, the 'hybrid' form factor would be of little value (despite the request for a touchscreen) as the end user has expressed a preference for a laptop not a tablet. She tried...

Hi all, Friend of mum's was recommended a Surface Pro 8 by a highstreet retailer, but even with their black Friday deal, I worry it's a bit expensive for her needs so wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on alternatives? Her needs are basic - MS Office type stuff and emails really. She...

I was waiting for ages to follow 0007's advice; I changed to an m-itx case to keep size down but there were no boards for the 12th gen processors.. Waited ages for the ASRock Intel B660M-ITX/ac which was claimed to be available from mid feb, but due date now moved into mid march. Sadly, I now...

I've found one now and paid £90 including shipping. Seems a real shame, but when I'm having to overspend on all the electronics anyway.. haha

If the ATX supply is a silly requirement then I could change away? The Raijintek at close to £200 is way overbudget! The node at £80 (if available) was about right

Hi, Looking for a nice compact MiniATX case for a NAS/server build. The Node looked to be ideal, but I can't seem to buy it anywhere :/ Does anyone have any thoughts on a good alternative? Needs to fit at least 2x 3.5" drives and a normal ATX supply. Preference would be black and as small and...

Hi all, I'm looking to build a home server PC with a budget of ~£500 to act as a NAS, media server, home automation server and just to generally play around with. I expect raw performance isn't going to be hugely important, but multiple cores/threads I'd have thought would be helpful if the...

"Following up on our latest email regarding your Estimated Shipping Date, we regret to inform you that following some unforeseen delays with manufacturing we have recalculated the shipping date and the latest estimation is 09/09/21." Really disappointing to get this email when other peoples...

Hi all, I've started a new job here there is a requirement that any headphones be wired and have no microphone (so no ANC also). I've got 3.mm, USB-A and USB-C as options to plug into. Having only really used bluetooth headphones for quite some time, I'm hoping you might have some suggestions...

Finally ordered! No luck with the newsletter discount, but found code CUPO75 which was £75 off (not a referral link or anything, I found it by googling)

Missed it again! Seems like a good sign if it's coming into stock anywhere though!

Damn! Also had the notification set up but missed it until I checked back here... Anyone have any thoughts on taking the 5600/3060 that's available versus waiting for the 5800/3070? How much of a performance hit is it likely to be?

Thanks @Minstadave , I've done that for now. @LiE , July delivery is a pain, but I think I can wait for the right machine at the right price!

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to not miss the next drop (if there is one)? Keen to buy if/when there's stock anywhere

I'm in the market/soon will be in the market for a new laptop. I've got an absolute maximum budget of 1.5k. For ages I've had big, heavy, 'gaming' laptops. Current one is a clevo model, but it's hinges & battery are failing (it's 6 years old to be fair) so it needs replacing. The way I see it...

The buyer didn't provide any further evidence, but looking really closely at the original photos, if you blow up / zoom then there are what look like they might be cracks. But only really if you are looking for them. Bearing in mind no new photos were going to be provided though, and with the...

So a semi-happy ending (compared to what was expected); the buyer accepted a partial refund! Obviously I'm out of pocket compared to where I should have been, but at least I'm not out of pocket 'net'. I now just need to try to get some money back from shutl for delivering late and destroying...

What does "the correct returns procedure" mean though? Do I just have to accept a refund on trust? And, if I want the machine back, to pay for its postage a second time? My last two messages have asked how the buyer wishes to proceed giving 3 options: 1) With proof of physical damage (a...

Sounds like I'm a bit screwed either way then which is quite sad. Not only will I be down 2x postage plus what was a saleable item, but today I got an email from ebay reminding me that their commission based fee will be auto-debited from my paypal also! In the end I'll have paid ebay and their...
