My pc is really old but holding out on ditching it till I can get a decent laptop. So just trying to keep it usable till then...

Just hope buying a 128gb doesn't bite you in the bum, with Windows 10 installed and a good few programs I need a 255gb to be always well in the clear space wise, and that's with all my files on a big normal drive.

Only reason I say that actually is the inline remote buttons. For me that's non-optional for earphones these days. Otherwise the CX300s are brilliant.

Not too phased on inline remote, but they've got favourable reviews online so worth a shot. Will leave the better pair at the office and keep the others for gym etc.

So my AKG-K323XS arrived; we read wrong, no inline remote on these. Not phased about this at all, build quality looks good so will put them head to head against my CX300s and see what's what.

I have a 1tb HDD in my laptop. Still considering getting my first SSD.

Give a review once you got it going.

My major loss now is that 1tv is so much better than 120gb.

Would be even sweeter if I purloined my colleagues R100 Takealot Voucher, except I fell for 2 recent bargains, the Maxtor 3TB from orange which has not been delivered yet and the 4TB at DionWired another impulse buy.

Ah I need the backup space more than the speed anyway.

I waited slightly over a week for my drive, I believe most of their stock comes from their European warehouses hence the wait.

They don't have any sort of policy on refunding the difference do they when a bought item goes on special soon after? They should :/

Saw the other day Cape Union mart has that, if an item goes on sale within a month of purchase you can take your till slip in and get a refund of the difference.

Could not install Windows 10 because it required an additional 2.6 GB, so I deleted the Recovery partition, after doing this the tablet froze, restarted but no longer boots, without a BIOS I cant boot with a USB drive to try and fix this -_-

There is a thread I've seen recently where someone got a recovery partition from store and was planning to upload it. He did something similar. You will need a microUSB to USB dongle thingy though.

Will try find it when I'm back in PC

You should probably give SP Flash Tool a look at, might help you on your way.

Hi there, thank you, But SP Flash tool is for smartphones and tablets with Android?

Remeber this is a normal windows tablet, not Windows Mobile, it has the normal windows 8.1 installed (well had). It has a Bios that looks identical to a computer's.

You can get into the BIOS, you just need a OTG cable to connect up a keyboard and mouse
