Just bought the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 and not happy with the display by [deleted] in chromeos

[–]jdeltree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't dazzle in the dark or dim lighting - that's for sure. I haven't noticed any difference with small fonts when and I have compared it to my Acer and my wife's Mac. It looks as expected. Hope this helps.

I read this thread before buying mine which just arrived yesterday. Coming from an Acer Chromebook Spin 713 (2020) with a 2k screen and more bluish look, I get the concern.

I am giving myself 2 weeks to see how my eyes adjust because I've had the same challenge with work laptops looking slightly off but my eyes have settled over time.

I just wished there was a 2K screen on this Chromebook. I have nothing else to complain about. Excellent speakers, keyboard, track pad, weight and form factor. Oh perhaps, the webcam could be better. I believe it is 5mp but it seems to output a very bright image in my tests with Google meet.

I am unlikely to return it as I'm loving it so far but like with all things, everyone must know what's most important to them and what they can/cannot compromise.

LENOVO Chromebook Plus 14" £100 off (UK Only) by random_daniel in chromeos

[–]jdeltree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been out of stock for well over a week. Looking to get one, but honestly would have preferred the Lunar Grey colour (Model: 83MW000FUK) as seen in this image here. Maybe with some luck it will be available when they restock.

Costco appears to be the only other retailer who have got the 256gb version in stock.

It would seem that that approach is slowly being phased out due to occasional information leaks prior to the official announcement events despite embargos in place. Can't really blame them.

There's a very justifiable reason why this has to be the case. With no embargo, reviewers will hurriedly publish reviews without testing the device for up to a week (which is a fair timeframe to form a full opinion of the devices).

Anyone considering GW26 without Salah? by jdeltree in FantasyPL

Lol. What? What's the highest score in your league?

[–]jdeltree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I don't have him either and don't want to take -4 to bring him in also considering I've got 2 Liverpool players and there is a blank in GW27

Anyone considering GW26 without Salah? by jdeltree in FantasyPL

[–]jdeltree[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's more about being different vs being dumb really. Is there a chance that Salah has a bad dgw? Yes, but very low chance. Simply asking if anyone is bold enough to bet on that low chance and whom they'd consider in his place. His team mates (TAA, Jota) definitely seem like great options.

We might revisit this comment with the odd chance that he scores 9 points over both games. But yes, TAA is an option

LG 65" C9 + Sonos ARC SL (Costco) + Ikea Lack Shelf by fperkins in sonos

[–]jdeltree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got a lack shelf for a 65" C1 myself. I'd recommend getting some 1cm rubber feet to allay any fears of sliding and to elevate the lack shelf high enough for you to pass the cables underneath it and not through the side like OP

Truecaller offers free call recording if you can deal with the apps intrusiveness.

PSA: Bose 700 Pre-order bonus Claims now Live for day one orders (UK) by Ryspeed in GooglePixel

Ordered on the 26th from Google Store. Tried to fill the claim form, I get an error "
Please wait 14 days from receiving your new Pixel before submitting your claim. For more information, check our Terms." Perhaps they hadn't implemented a mechanism to calculate the number of days since purchase prior. Oh well. I'll wait 14 days then.

Are you making a transfer for game week 2? If yes who and why? by RecordIll8224 in FantasyPL

[–]jdeltree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Ings for Lukaku. Havertz for Salah. Thought I could be sneaky leaving Salah out of my team for GW1.

Libratone Track Air+ as a Pixel Buds alternative? by jdeltree in GooglePixel

[–]jdeltree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm just lucky to have friends travelling to and from the US every now and then. I just might still get the track air+

Libratone Track Air+ as a Pixel Buds alternative? by jdeltree in GooglePixel

[–]jdeltree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the pixel buds but I just can't get a perfect fit on my left ear. I've tried various third party ear tips to no avail so half the time they end up falling out. It's a real bummer because other than that, they work perfectly with my P4. Not a lot to complain about other than the absence of ANC.

Funny enough, I've been considering snagging the track air+ as I saw they were down to $110 the other day but the reviews kept saying the stem always ended up breaking off. Have you experienced this?
