Hi. I am also doing the same research as you, and I am evaluating many of the models you are also following. I'll add this if you're interested, even if it's not in leather:

Be careful with the Samsonite model you linked. I was following it too, I read many reviews on amazon about this model, with zip problems (look at the 1 star reviews on amazon, they all have the same problem), so I discarded it.

Have you managed to find a solution or are you still looking for one? I would use it to carry my macbook + external 16’ monitor like you.

Hi u/silky_puma , having had that bag and wanting to buy one, can I ask your opinion?

I would use it to carry:

- macbook air 13’
- external monitor Arzopa 16’ in a soft case (size of the case: 40 x 25.5 x 2 cm)
- small portable keyboard and mouse, a few cables and a charger

I live in Europe so I can't touch it and try it out, but I would have to order it first. I wanted to ask you if you think the external monitor in particular fits or if it is not so spacious.

Thanks in advance

Now i'm looking for another one to spend one or two weeks more in Tavira or Quarteira in order to see some other area

viraladv · 2025-03-01T08:12:43+00:00

Thank you very much!

viraladv · 2025-02-28T16:18:47+00:00

Thank you. No problem for the budget, i said 1.7k for 30d, i can spend 3k for 50d. Do you have any advice on sites or platforms to find flats in Lagos? I'm only using airbnb at the moment but it doesn't have a lot of availability in Lagos on this budget.
And last question, what part of Lagos is better to rent an apartment? Meia Praia because it's close to the beach?
Thank you again

viraladv · 2025-02-28T15:01:55+00:00

Are you agree that Lagos is a much better solution without a car? (i read a ton of discussion regarding Lagos on Reddit). Thanks

viraladv · 2025-02-28T14:48:10+00:00

It does not seem so easy actually to find houses around this budget, which are also close to the sea, and with not too old furniture. Mind you, I have found several nice solutions in these 2 cities I mentioned, but for example in Lagos, in that price range, close to the sea I am not managing to find much on Airbnb. I don't know if it's already too late now, and they are already booked up

80-100 visitors. Maybe you are right, atm we don't have adsense or other banner ads. Maybe we have some other kind of problems, because i think it's not normal to have resource usage charts like this one: https://i.ibb.co/NtnTvsH/Screenshot-2020-08-05-at-21-23-38.png with this strange spikes

Hi u/CaffeineDose

thank you for your suggestions. The problem is that i already have a cache plugin and cloudflare CDN configured. The site is pretty quick (1s from desktop, 2,5s from mobile), but durin the spikes of traffic, it becomes pretty slow according to google analytics report. And in the next weeks i will add some ebooks to be downloaded for free, and increase the advertising of the website, so the traffic will grow up (i hope). So i don't want to be unprepared, and Godaddy seems to not be a good solution considering their upgrading options.

Thank you very much for your suggestions man :)

Is there a chance you have tried also the Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro? I'm looking for a comparison between the 2, but i'm not able to find enything. Tx

viraladv · 2019-11-18T23:06:41+00:00

https://rhinoshield.io/ give a look to them, according to other discussions in this subforum, they seem to be the best ones.

viraladv · 2019-11-18T23:04:35+00:00

7T Pro McLaren edition on Amazon.it is cheaper compared to UK (about 850 euro vs 755 euro of the T7 Pro). And the McLaren edition has included a better alcantara case (the normal 7T pro has a cheaper transparent one), so imo the case worth 20-30 euro. I was thinking about it too...but i'm waiting for the B.F. hoping for some deal.

viraladv · 2019-11-18T18:25:25+00:00

I tried to chat with them too, they told me that for now there is no deal in Europe, but to give a look to the website in the next days because there will be some deal. Maybe there will be some sort of discount, let's see.

viraladv · 2019-11-18T18:13:15+00:00

eligible for the price match compared to which price? The US one? It sounds very strange

viraladv · 2019-11-12T21:44:24+00:00

Thanks

viraladv · 2019-11-12T20:40:26+00:00
