Well I can fit 3x nvme and I'm using 2 already so 1 more 4TB will be overkill, so fit 1 more drive and I'll be set for some time ;)

Legion Go 1TB version.

It has a 9” screen, which should be good enough to use as a normal laptop. I have a non-gaming laptop that I don’t use a lot, and I have gaming handhelds that I don’t use a lot (the Switch is almost exclusively used docked). So I figured if I bought a gaming handheld that could double as a laptop, I would get twice the amount of use out of it.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Verizon kept notifying that I could get a good trade-in for my Note20 Ultra. I had that phone for a good 3 years, but the USB-C port was busted and the battery life kept getting shorter.

Like Krusty, they drove a dump truck full of phones up to my house! I'm not made of stone!

Sold off the cheap PC I built a year or two ago because I never ended up using it. And with the money, I bought a Ryzen 7700x, MSI B650 board, and 32GB DDR5 6000mhz bundle for $370.

Samsung Galaxy A55, first time I got a newly released phone but all signs are it should do good, the cash back from Sasung deal helps as it meant the 256GB model effectivly costs the same as the 128GB & I still get an sd card slot for expansion, stupid high end ones not having them anymore

I grabbed a Samsung S24 Ultra 256GB using this deal from ozbargain and already cancelled the Telstra service.

I know the S25 is probably like 6 months or less away, but the price was good and I was coming from an S21 Ultra

I like 3d printing but my other one is such a pain in the ass with the tinkering and tweaking and manual bed leveling that I wanted something easier/simpler to get going

I've printed off a few little tools and gadgets before. What I wanted to do was look at maybe some full size masks/helmets. I've watched a bunch of videos on how to do it, I just didn't trust it on my old printer. I'd have to level it all the time but this won't be a problem

Be honest, you're printing a life sized T-800 right now, aren't you?

Also, it's good to see 3D printers with multiple spools of filament, maybe soon they'll be as easy and simple as a normal consumer grade, traditional printer. Put a thing in them and and hit copy, and it does it.

You can get ones that will do 16, but I think 4 is sufficient... for now

Ooh, they had designers then!
I loved my G13.
I only got rid of it when the backlights (all the RGB) blew out and it wouldn't match my G19.

I finally bought my dream music player--20 years later! I found an Archos Jukebox 5000 at the flea market for $5. I remember drooling over it from tech websites back in the day.

No idea if it works but I'll see if I can replace the hard drive and load Rockbox on there.
