Purchase recommendations - gaming laptop sites and stores

Howzit guys,

Reaching out to the tech community for experiences and recommendations websites/ stores.

My downtime hobbies don’t particularly include tech related devices, and once I have a product I am satisfied until the wheels fall off. All well and good but that inexperience lead me to costly laptop crashes and fixes that could not support the softwares used for work.

Need: Entry level gaming laptop - Work usage only. I have the exact minimum specs required by the companies to support the softwares, upgrades then some.

Companies I have checked out every so often for a deal and would like feedback on:

  1. Computer Mania - They have a drastic sale on an ASUS, and prompted me to write the damn post; too good to be true? Reviews are low, but we’re always determined to reach out when stuff is shitty, not necessarily good.

  2. EveTech

  3. Woot

I know everyone has varying experiences with different stores/ sites. They are welcomed and allow me to do my due diligence before finalising my purchase. If someone had to ask me which major retailer to avoid whilst looking for a fridge, I’d scream a store that someone might back full chested lol. Everything is taken with a grain of salt and sugar.

Thanks

Recommendations sought!

Hi there,

I am late to the podcast party in general and have recently completed “I’m not a monster”. Now that was just fantastic. Glad I didn’t skip this ad whilst listening to the Lazarus Heist lol.

Please folks, lay all the Apple podcast recommendations similar to this. I’ve tried to search online but I can’t seem to find anything like it. The other Latiff was recommended but it hasn’t really caught me as yet. But I’m giving it a second go. I’ve listened to American Radical.

I enjoy an array of deep investigative true crime/ scams/ cons etc., and I’ve already listened to a good amount. Anyways, I’m particularly looking for an investigative deep dive focusing on citizens becoming radicalised - I haven’t really listened or watched many documentaries recently so it was really interesting and a good change of pace. It was so well done almost like a novel.

Thank you!

Trust no one: The hunt for the Crypto King

How’s it going folks. I’m late to this documentary, started it a few minutes ago. I have not searched the sub as yet but I immediately had a thought wrt the masked gent.

My intent is not to “out him”. I first listened to Exit Scam and whilst scrolling through Netflix, based on previous watches this was recommended. Lol background aside and complete - the masked gent in the Netflix show reminds me so much so of the named unmasked/ identified gent specialising in crypto safety / cyber security from Exit Scam.

A few seconds into the Netflix doc and my brain made a connection - no I don’t claim for this to be the whole truth.

My question is - has this ever been confirmed?

Exit Scam was a good listen, quite honestly I’d recommend it over this Netflix documentary.

Love to hear thoughts/ theories/ updates on the case I may not be privy to.

Thanks

Noob question, assistance required please.

Hello, I don’t know anything about gaming, whilst my best bud is a daily counter strike pc gamer.

I don’t have a massive budget but I’d like to replace their headphones to - *Corsair Void v2 Wireless* Vs Soundcore SpaceOne (current).

I’m well out my depth here. All critiques welcomed. Thanks in advance!
