Anyone seen something like the laptop stand in the following links locally?
Takealot only seems to have single layer ones with the "X-design".

As I'm quite tall and sometimes would like the option of standing, I think something like this would be great for me.

I got this for the SO. Works well.

Yesterday I scored a 3060 ti for a little less than I paid for the 3060 . It's ridiculous, prices are all over the place right now. If you're vigilant you can still score though. But you literally have a window of about 1-2 minutes after a deal pops up before it's gone.

I missed a huge AMD drop the other day by a few minutes, those are actually some of the best options to get cards because the prices aren't jacked up and people aren't able to spam the servers so much I think.

Recently bought this as the previous one with clamps went for R600 this a bit cheaper cool solid build with foam padding on top and bottom

It is really high I use it lower than its lower setting but downside is it doesnt adjust quickly you'd of course have to disassemble it if you readjust.

Ugh my 3060 ti is being refunded seems like they overbooked the stock. At least I have the 3060 and it's a pretty decent card for what I paid.

You can get any card if you're willing to pay 2x msrp. I 'scored' it for €600 but I see places having stock for €940. It's meant to be a €400 card. Also nearly got a 6700xt this morning.

I'm on some Discord servers for European cards. Also American but that's basically impossible. I've found it's actually a little easier to get hardware in Europe. I can invite you if you want but I guess you'd have to work out the shipping even if you could actually score something, which is absolutely not a guarantee.

Thanks, I was just wondering, I'm not actually looking for one.
 
I thought this is a thread for local hardware bargains.

Besides it doesn't help posting about all the deals you scored without actually sharing links..

The thread title doesn't say local. But yeah perhaps it's not the best place to discuss it, I wasn't sure what thread to bring it up in.

The Xbox Series controller has a better D-Pad. It also has a Share button, which is pretty useless in Windows at the moment. The bottom part of the controller is also more roughly textured, as well as the trigger and bumper buttons.

But apart from that, which is mostly cosmetic changes, they work and feel the same, if you can find the older Xbox One controller cheap, you can't go wrong.

It's also a tad smaller then the One's controller, but generally I'm finding the series X controllers cheaper.
