You can only get the RAM upgrade on the 5500U processor, so have to upgrade the processor first.

Those are some nice prices! Unfortunately the discount code doesn't work on the non-student EPP store :(

thewabbit on Ryobi Black Friday Sale (Lawn Mower, Line Trimmer, Hard Surface Blower, Charger and 2 Batteries) $399 @ Bunnings

The circular saw in the 3 piece bundle looks different to the model sold individually. Not sure it’s the same one.

PANiCnz commented on Logitech G512 CARBON LIGHTSYNC RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard $105 (AUD100) Delivered @Amazon AU
Not a fan of RGB, can I set the backlighting to white or even better disable it?

I thought the MSI B550M MORTAR for $199 with $40 of Steam vouchers was a pretty good deal for anyone looking for an AM4 mATX board.

Does this support all of the NZ 4G/5G frequencies?

Showing as out of stock for me :(

PANiCnz commented on OnePlus Nord 5G, Blue (8GB Ram/128GB Storage) | NZ$669 + Shipping @ Dick Smith (Kogan)
Be careful these are probably the parallel imported version and lack support for band 28 LTE.

The commercial guys just seem to blow it on to the street.

wellydeal on Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer NZ$318/US$209 with Free Shipping at Creality3dofficial

What day did you order? I was late to the party and only ordered on the 24th, but it is still showing as unfullfilled.

PANiCnz commented on Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer NZ$318/US$209 with Free Shipping at Creality3dofficial
How likely is this to get through customs without getting stung for GST and tax etc?

PANiCnz commented on Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer NZ$318/US$209 with Free Shipping at Creality3dofficial
I'm getting a $30 overweight shippign fee at checkout, how do you get free shipping?

I've found Amazon really slow to dispatch lately, but onces its in transit delivery isn't too bad.

Toddy47 on Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (15.6" FHD, AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD HD) $1049 Delivered @ Lenovo NZ

Agree this price looks pretty good to me, especially given how good the new Ryzen chips are.

Does this have any advantages over the XTAR VC4? They both seem to be around the same price, with the XTAR available locally.

Looks to be available on TheMarket, so could possibly use on of the discount codes to get it cheaper.

Try it and tell us?
