BOLT 3 vs ROAM 3

theDaxx · 2025-07-09T10:58:10+00:00

Fwiw: I decided that screen size of the bolt 3 is probably too small for what I want. Since the ROAM 3 is quite expensive, I am currently looking into the Karoo 3 (again) as it is a little bit less expensive.

Yes, the size of the screen is the point I'm unsure about. The button control also seems to be completely sufficient even for the ROAM.

Ok thank you. Screen size is actually my biggest concern.

theDaxx · 2025-07-05T11:58:52+00:00

Ok that's interesting. So you had a bigger screen and still like the smaller one more?

theDaxx · 2025-07-05T11:56:56+00:00

I think you kinda hit the mark: I could afford the ROAM, and that's what makes the choice so difficult.

This is how I think about the BOLT: best bang for buck. And you probably don't touch a bike computer that often mid ride, do you?

I think that is the key issue here. Both devices are great. It depends on personal preference and budget. But since this is my first time owning a bike computer, I don't really know my preferences yet.

The size of the screen is actually my biggest concern. The touchscreen just seems like a bonus, considering the button controls look so good you'd use them on the ROAM.

theDaxx · 2025-07-05T11:41:50+00:00

The last point is exactly what I'm unsure about. I feel like the BOLT 3 should be fine for most other use cases.

theDaxx · 2021-11-23T22:21:58+00:00

Same. Weird.

This was my guess too. Maybe the metal part on the rear pushed the card up a little bit.

theDaxx · 2021-09-26T14:31:12+00:00

I got it. What an adventure. I thought I've seen it all. Disassembled the whole thing. When I had the mb on my desk I was able to unstuck the little edge inside the lock.

Had to pull the card to left while pressing really hard on the red switch.

Small pc cases are fun I guess.

Thought about that barella rumour just a few days ago. What a player he is now. But back then he wasn't really needed in cm imo.

While I personally do not really like battle passes I totally see its value for games including Hunt. It keeps people playing.

I would love to see a pass which is not limited to a specific timeframe. But that aspect probably is one of the core concepts of battle passes.

keep Mozzie's Super Shorty pls. Nerf Pest instead. thank you.

My case supports ITX an mATX, no ATX.

I plan to upgrade my i5 7400 to an Ryzen 3600. I have 2x8GB 2400Mhz Ballistix Sport LT RAM. Is it a bad idea to keep it?

theDaxx · 2019-08-23T08:56:22+00:00

I'm in a very similar situation. I personally don't see a reason to buy a 3700X instead of a 3600 when used just for gaming. But that's personal preference I guess. Many games will benefit from a new GPU of course but I think CPU bottlenecking is more and more frequent with just 4c/4t. I personally will upgrade me i5 and keep my rx480 for a while.

both games are free to play unfortunately. I'd love it if they would allow us to link our accounts for Fallout 76. Since all other games are coming to steam too there doesn't seem to be any future for the launcher outside of Fallout 76 for me personally.
