with dropbox and the like around, are people still using flash drives? haven't used one in years.

:wtf:

The 8GB is of regular price. If the 4GB was priced at R60/80/100 the 8GB would still be no more of a bargain. Two ugly chicks, one of them will be the prettier.

Don't confuse the relative with the absolute.

True, although irrelevant to someone shopping on Takealot. They'd be silly not paying R1 more for double capacity, of course.

What can you actually get on a flash drive? 1 movie or a couple of episodes and at USB 2.0 it takes forever in any case.

Ah wait, you make a valid point - or live boot for something like gparted

I often use my 32gb usb3 flash. Flashes are still useful, especially if you don't have a particularly fast internet connection.

Don't know how they compare but they are wired . edit: comments on walmart are positive If Takealot allows returns for daily deals then you can always send it back within 30 days.

They used the same image for the controller

Only 13 feedbacks in the last year even if they're all positive I still don't trust it.

Positive feedback from 19 people. I never buy from Ebay unless they have feedback from 1000+ people.

Didn't notice, I for one will be sitting this one out.. maybe this is the only guy in Canada that's not nice or sorry.

Thanks Yuu. Wired, hmm.... if it came with a game I wanted then I'd jump at it.

What about USB3.0 drives up to like 512GB, faster than some SSDs with sequential copies? How is a 2Mb internet with a 512kb ie 50KB upload competing with 300MB/s?

Where is your Dropbox God now?

No problem, they do have the official MS wireless x360 controller for R100 more on the Takealot page

Hi guys im looking for a cheap sub R2000 tablet for browsing internet pretty much. A wifi only tablet would be sufficient, but with sim card would be nice. Any suggestions?
