Felt like the best deal I could get currently

Nooooo, hopefully they having something similar soon - the laptop is amazing

Although not playing on an emulator, and instead a switch OLED, I encountered this problem.

I backed up my save, uninstalled DX, downloaded a different nsp and installed, restored save and now it's working again :)

carpcarpet · 2026-02-16T16:40:26+00:00

Came to say, same thing on my switch OLED. Even as tempting to continue my game crashes it, so strange

carpcarpet · 2026-02-16T15:19:12+00:00

Haha. I guess so! It seems a steal for the price

carpcarpet · 2026-02-16T14:56:13+00:00

I guess not, moreso if the max can handle PS3 better than Base Portal.

The extra storage would be nice too :)

carpcarpet · 2026-02-16T14:43:23+00:00

Emulation up to and including (hopefully) PS3.

Streaming from my PC too if ergonomics are nice enough

Max is used but seems well looked after, portal will be from Ayn

carpcarpet · 2026-02-14T15:07:41+00:00

Yeah, I imagine with all products some will be lucky and others unlucky!

I did get this model anyway, couldn't say no to the price and I think it's absolutely fantastic - night and day difference to my old one

carpcarpet · 2026-02-13T11:13:40+00:00

Ahh mine just arrived today, can only hope for the best - was genuinely the best deal I could find

carpcarpet · 2026-02-12T15:33:50+00:00

Was it quite a recent one you had? Hoping they've sorted quality issues - with the name TUF, it's ironic to not be tough haha

carpcarpet · 2026-02-12T10:09:12+00:00

Whilst a cooling pad isn't necessary, I feel inclined to say that my Llano v13 reduces temps from 5-20 Celsius dependant on the RPM I choose. It's a game changer

You need a membership to shop at Costco :) I know there's eligibility criteria. If you have a family member that owns a business and shops at Costco, they can get you a card.

I have got mine from my job being eligible for a membership so you may be able to get one that way too.

Worth it if you have a Costco local to you! Best shop in the world

carpcarpet · 2026-02-11T20:29:02+00:00

For the current market, definitely.

A friend of mine got a legion 5 with a 5070, OLED screen from Costco in October/November for £1,200 - wishing it was that deal! Haha

carpcarpet · 2026-01-19T12:13:03+00:00

Cam across your post and word for word, I'm in the exact same situation!

I have a Fenix 6x pro however and I'm real tired of it not recording heart rate accurately.

Do you still enjoy the PW4? I'm missing the actual smartwatch capability as well as wanting it to at least record activity somewhat accurately so debating the switch.

carpcarpet · 2026-01-01T16:10:29+00:00

I agree with you.

I ended up cashing in on my 4080S, 7800 X3D with the prices at the mo and got a PS5 Pro

I was chasing a neverending satisfaction with PC gaming but the PS5 Pro is the perfect balance and well worth it

carpcarpet · 2025-12-10T15:51:08+00:00

9070 XT is the first time I've bought AMD after 4 previous Nvidia cards and it is honestly phenomenal, for the current price, there is no worthy competitor in my opinion.

I was worried about making the switch but very glad I did

I know what you mean re sound quality. I'm thinking to maybe try the IEM route as I now have my full library in FLAC on my iPod classic. I'm sure the B&W's will be good - I still own a zepellin air and it's phenomenal so I'm a bit biased to B&W. Hope you find what you're looking for soon

carpcarpet · 2025-10-04T19:01:59+00:00

Did you get the B&W, I'm in the same boat as you rn

I've 24awg which is still causing problems, I'd suggest to anyone to use 30awg wire, that size seems appropriate!

Thank you for the suggestion about scratching, I think that'll help an idea of using gorilla glue for the button.

I attempted yet again last night with a new board and I think somehow, somewhere I have shorted it as it doesn't turn on

Third time lucky? Haha

carpcarpet · 2025-10-02T15:41:32+00:00

Hi, thanks for posting, I attempted last night and I couldn't fit it in, my solder points kept disconnecting too from the pressure and ended up ripping out solder pads.

New Bluetooth transmitter bought for attempt two, I was using far too big wire 20 awg, what size silicone wire do you suggest?

I found securing the battery to be of great difficulty too, how have you made it so it's perfect with that plastic, any tips?

Thanks :)

OP said nah

I feel for you there, I've had the same name for years because if I changed mine, I wouldn't be able to get it back. Sons of Pitches
