    Buying a new laptop - SA vs US

    Yeah touchscreen can be useful at times and certain functions on Windows 10 are actually easier with touch. It's also useful when browsing or scrolling and you don't have a mouse. Yeah I've factored in sales tax as well. Fortunately it's one of the Trump states so taxes aren't super high (6% or...

    Buying a new laptop - SA vs US

    The non-touch version. I have used touch screen laptops in the past and I think it actually can be useful at times. However the 2-in-1s are so awkward to use in tablet mode - it's way too big and very clumsy. I've used a colleagues Spectre 13 x360 which was a 2-in-1 and the tent mode was useful...

    Buying a new laptop - SA vs US

    Oh wow, ok that's awesome! I never knew you could transfer the warranty to another country. That's pretty awesome. I currently have a Dell and when it was still under warranty and had issues, I do remember them sending a tech out to fix it (this was about 4 years ago though). I think I'm going...

    Huawei Mate 20

    Thanks!! So my phone arrived today, and after having played around with it very briefly, I'm quite impressed. Coming from the Mate 9, the Mate 20 is so similar in terms of the design of the phone, so I'm really stoked about that. My experience with the eBay purchase was good. The first order I...

    Huawei Mate 20

    You can get them for about $600 on eBay, shipped to the US. I decided to buy one today after a few weeks of contemplating and debating. I'm going to use Stackry to forward it here. I'll report back on my experience :) Most of the reviews of the Mate 20 have been really positive. For me what...

    MTN contract roll over

    Hi all Not sure if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if MTN rolls over any unused minutes, SMSs and data included in their contracts (specifically the My MTNChoice contract)? Looking to move to MTN from Cell C and just curious as to whether MTN does this. At the moment on my...
