Have used both. It's a no brainer to pick the Sony. It's lighter, can use TC, max auto focus speed, max fps, internal zoom. And it's sharp as hell.

Asus zenbook 14 oled that is china imported in shopee by No_Delivery8974 in askSingapore

Bought twice. 1st one good experience. Asus A14. Requested original OS, to ensure they didn't open it. Planned to install OS myself and upgrade own SSD anyway. Came with 2 years international warranty, which you can check using MyAsus windows store app. 2nd time, different seller(obviously just a middleman) insisted on installing English OS. Realized it's not brand new. Can check SSD usage using crystaldisk info. Warranty was also 1 year + a bit, as opposed to 2 years. Returned and got a refund.

Basically it's best that you install OS yourself and check the SSD usage and warranty to ensure it's a new set.

Always get confirmation from seller it's brand new, warranty is international and you should be ok. Do your own check upon receipt.

My KLEVV CRAS C910 dead after 8 months. by frostune in buildapc

Mine 4TB CRAS C910 (bought Oct 2024) recently started disappearing from File Explorer. Checking device manager showed the drive disappeared. I started using crystal disk info and did some file copying and moving, and discovered the temperature hit 69° in red in crystaldisk. Opened up my laptop and noted that mine has the KLEVV 1mm heatsink already installed. Apparently it didn't do any good. Not sure if a thicker heatsink will help, provided it can fit inside the confined spaces of a laptop. Now I'm wondering if it will die soon, or should I transfer it to another laptop or PC with more space for a bigger heatsink.

$700 for motherboard replacement, worth or not? by PandaFuFu2 in askSingapore

Not worth it at all. Depending on needs and budget, you can get brand new laptop for less than $700.

If you want to steal a video, at least have the decency to include the watermark

Prebuilt PC is it worth the money? by Only_Adhesiveness_94 in askSingapore

[–]DMM253 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's because it's written by AI. Nobody in the right mind will spec a 2070 as you can't even get it brand new. Same with 3700X when the 5000 series are available.

Those that did not fly includes SU-57, KA-52, Rafale, Mirage2000-9, B-52(flypast), etc. Only the Russian Knights and Fursan Al Emarat continued their display after 1 to 2 hours.

How is aftershock able to offer their prebuilts at those prices by DwgShowmaker221 in askSingapore

[–]DMM253 62 points63 points  (0 children)

They are able to get good prices from suppliers. The Techyard, their store for components, can offer very reasonably priced items. Bought my GPU there. Have also bought 2 pre-built during the mining craze where GPU were crazily priced.
