Was at Musica for JBL earphones for work, usualy R300 a set.

Saw these marked down quite a bit and got these rather!

They're great! Pretty amazed at the volume and punchy bass for a Bluetooth set.
Then again, it's sennheiser :D

Quite happy with these! Would recommend for sure, the mic is good as well. As far as mic's go for these sets.

Its not but does not matter, I load my own recovery and make it google certified. Besides, dstv can also be run via the Kodi addon. Netflix will work upto 540p (no HD) in android environment but not bothered cause I don't use netflix (using apps like cinemahd with realdebrid) or can use my tv's built in Netflix if needed.

If you want Netflix fullhd (1080p) you can boot into coreelec from a sd card and use the kodi addon.

Edit:
Takealot has the 2/16GB model for R759, probably a safer bet to order from them...

Serious question but why go through all that effort vs spending an additional few bucks for a hassle free experience?

Not an effort at all, whole process takes 10 minutes. The Xiaomi / Ematic / Litbox is decent boxes but is still powered by an ageing S905X and the other extreme is obviously a Nvidia shield which is much more expensive.

Besides I personally like tinkering with hardware and software, been doing it for more than 30 years since the first pcs was released.

Advise needed: Need a budget laptop with >6hrs work time. This is for school so no gaming required. Want Windows 10 standard so Surface/MAC/Chromebook is out. Tons of info on the internet but difficult to find what is available locally. I guess 8GB RAM min and ability to change Hard Drive for SSD if not already provided. 2nd Hand is ok also.

Check carbonite.co.Za laptop section

Don’t bother with Celeron laptops those things are so slow even with ssd.
Look for at least i3/i5 4th gen upwards
