I just posted an article that lists a great deal for Chromebooks coming up on Black Friday. It may be the perfect time to finally purchase one - I've been considering it for ages. 
Lachlan86 commented on A nice and detailed collection

I love the colors in this photo. It has a very beautiful aesthetic. Makes me want to buy some smart lights and get a nice mood going on in my office :)

Nice! Supposedly this laptop can handle two 6k monitors? I have to wonder who even has one 6k monitor let alone two? Regardless, this looks like a great laptop.

Oh great. Another tool that can be used to stalk and track us down for marketers to send their super important spam emails. On the plus side, maybe I can find my favorite celebrity's email address? :P

Eh, I think this is a pretty slimy move. As if they can't afford to cover the increase in costs of whatever data they're storing? Please. Bad move, Google.
Lachlan86 commented on Surface Laptop 3 easy to open
Lachlan86
I can see why they would do this. There are many people who are upset with the way the inner workings of electronics have been made near inaccessible, especially cell phones. Remember when you could easily take out your cell phone battery? 
Lachlan86 commented on Do you agree with this review?
Lachlan86
No, I wouldn't. I love Chromebooks for what they are. I wouldn't purchase an expensive one that has less power than my main computer. That's just silly.

Gosh, that's a bit over the top if you ask me.  Having a slight glow is the flashiest I want my computer case to be :) But, hey, whatever floats your boat. 
Lachlan86 commented on Had you rather buy or rent?

If I was using it frequently, I would definitely purchase it. Constantly renting isn't cost effective, and at the end of the day, you own nothing.

That's quite an affordable TV and it will certainly appeal to a lot of people shopping for Smart TVs. My only problem would if I kept being bombarded by ads, like is the case with other similar TV sets.

Lachlan86
I've had the same Roomba for several years and it still works great. I love the little guy! I'm definitely in the market for an upgrade though. I'm pretty meticulous about the cleanliness of my home, so the device is worth the price for me.

I agree with the reporter - it looks like a cheese grater.  I'm guessing it's done that way in order to keep things  cool, but it looks ridiculous in my opinion.

Totally agree. I literally said aloud, "It looks like a cheese grater!" Then I scrolled down and read the comments. Glad I'm not alone.

It's unfortunate, but should be expected. Your data isn't safe anywhere these days. Honestly, I'm even beginning to doubt those "private" search engines like DuckDuckGo are truly private. I'm waiting for their scandal to break any day now.

I think the US is ultimately going to lose this battle one way or the other. Either they'll concede to the fact that Huawei isn't a security threat or they'll lose out considerably by continuing to blacklist the company.

Love this product. I never considered having a TV that could flip. Ingenious. If it didn't cost over $16,000, I would be purchasing one.  I'll have to wait for the price to go down...a lot!
Lachlan86 commented on Shoot the stars.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. I'm rooting for Huawei to come out of their security scandal unscathed. I think they're being targeted for other reasons and there is no security concern.

Lachlan86
It's true that Netflix costs more than it used to in its inception, however cable bills are over $100 a month. Netflix's fee of $13.99 seems paltry in comparison.
