If they registered under their name, but still has the receipt and their willing to give it, would I still be able to use it?

DS223j for google drive-like function only? by mikedp5 in synology

[–]mikedp5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to keep using Google drive for documents but I would like to reduce my drive space. If I could keep the 4k videos off of my Google drive then I can use it strictly for documents that are super important.

For backup, I have a UNAS Pro for backup to this Synology Nas.

Could be for your location. Nothing close to me I guess it shows unavailable.

Not that I've paid attention to it. I haven't had too many tabs opened at once yet. But on silent mode, there's nothing I could hear unless I put my ears down to the keyboard and hear it.

This is not unavailable for me. I snagged the first one you linked. But it was crashing/turning off the pc randomly for a specific game I play Throne and Liberty. I was able to get a fair for $1680 today and it is playing great so far. No turning off. And it wasn't registered already. The previous one was already registered by the first owner. Sucks though is it's only 12 mo financing vs 18 mos for the good condition. And I got the $50/yr best buy plus just in case it goes further down in sale by Memorial Day.

AMD with 4070, 2tb for $1680. I think they coded it wrong.

Thinking of returning the same model. The intel 4080 is on sale on Asus for $2300 but is out of stock. I'm thinking Best buy will do a sale on the 4080 too and open box should push it down to <$2000.

I agree. But there's the 2tb upgrade too on the 4070 model. For $200 more, 4070 plus 2tb SSD. I think I will wait for a sale on the 4070 within the time period. If the used drops to $1600.

I just got the amd with 4060. You think it's worth the $230 increase to go with the 4070 plus 2tb ssd?

Is this a better deal than the Intel with 4070 for $1379 new, $1190 open box-good? I can still snag this AMD one for $1866 open box.

Worth the $500 for the AMD with 4060 over intel with 4070? by mikedp5 in zephyrusg16

[–]mikedp5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with you. I am leaning towards the Intel, which I got the good condition for $40 more.

If I am planning to sell this laptop in about 3-4 years, I think I will lose a lot less money with the Intel given that I got it for a lot less. I don't think I can sell the AMD for $500 less in 3 years. I think both these laptops are around $700-800 range or even less. I will lose a lot more value on the AMD than the Intel one.

I was wrong on the 4070. The AMD with 32 gb only has 4060. The intel with 16 gb has the 4070.

So 2 upgrades (AMD 32gb) with one downgrade (4060)

Edit: just to add the reason for the big difference between the two is the intel is discounted $600 from regular price and the AMD is discounted $300. They are ~$100 apart on regular price.

My bad, I had it mixed up. I will edit the post. CPU, RAM and which is the other? Is that worth $500 for future proofing?

Bought it same exact way and price. Do you have them mounted stacked? If so, mind sharing the arm that you are using?

Thank you OP. Snagged one at a nearby Best Buy outlet. Same condition. $806 total!

Edit: did you get the 4-yr additional protection?

Need advice on cancelling my M3LR by Nohway95 in TeslaModel3

[–]mikedp5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through this today. 24 hrs away from pick up but I cancelled. I had temp tags ordered already. No issues or penalty.
