Incredible has been sold out since 15 Feb (sale started on 14 Feb).
Perhaps they had 1 of each item.
Physical stores have stock at normal price.
 
My apologies, all the items that are showing More Info are now sold out and only those showing Add to Cart are still available.

Bought a couple. Are yours white as well?

The packaging doesn't mention romoss but it is printed on the back of the light. They seem to get very hot. I have a feeling that this is probably not a authentic romoss product.

Yup, it's white. Hope it last at least a while.

R6 is still half the ebay price, they do get warm to the touch.

Quick hijack, does anyone own this backpack and can vouch for it? I'm considering it.

I have received my bag that I ordered from the OneDayDeal link.

Two immediate observations:

This bag is not the exact same bag from XD-Design. Dead giveaway is the location of the external USB socket on the side of the bag instead of the inside of the shoulder strap. I was aware of this, but

OneDayOnly had pictures of both types on their offer, which is a bit misleading. They have "for reference only" under all the pics of the original bag, but not under the pics of the copycat bag.

That being said, copycat bag is still OK for the price. Main differences are:
-Location of USB socket (Bag includes what is basically a USB male to female extension which you must run to the cavity via zip inside)
-No small zipper on the back of bag. This was disappointing for me, as this is ideal for travelling (passports, boarding passes, etc)
-Highly doubt it has the cut-proof liner of the original
-Smaller tablet holder inside bag definitely will not fit a 10-inch tab, maybe a 7-inch.

Just about managed to shoehorn my Dell E6530 into the larger sleeve next to the tablet holder.
Quality seems OK. A few loose threads on the seams.
 
Mine also seems fine for the purpose that I need it for.

Mine had a Homemark cardboard sticker attached to it.

Too bad Ryzen+ only releases after April. :(

April is not tooooo far away fortunately. That being said, we will probably wait a while longer - maybe two or so weeks - for local retailers to get stock as was the case with the Raven Ridge APUs.

Even if the new chips do not return the expected ~15% gains in performance, I am sure the current 1xxx series CPUs should get a bit of a price drop to clear the shelves.

I'll be happy with a 5 - 10 % increase with improved memory speeds (3200+) and better OC-ability (4.2Ghz+) :) I want my Octa-core! :D
 
Agreed on the compatibility argument - current Ryzen CPUs have horrible support for some memory modules. And it seems that if you don't get Samsung B-die memory, you will struggle to surpass 2933MHz at all.

Are you looking at a R7 1700, or whatever may succeed it?

Yup, and OC it to the 1800X equivalent :)

Currently the price gap between the 1700 and 1700X is tiny though, so if it stays that small then I'll probably get the X-variant as they should be from a higher quality bin (Else they would've been sold as 1700). I am eyeing this cooling solution from Wootware right now: https://www.wootware.co.za/nzxt-rl-krx62-02-kraken-x62-280mm-all-in-one-liquid-cpu-cooler.html
 
I was looking forward to buying a 1080ti and I placed the order in January through Loot.

It seems like there are no graphics cards (1080ti) in the country due to these damn miners. They can't source a card from any supplier.

I now probably have to wait for the 2080ti and hope that these miners don't f*** my day up again.

ATM, I'm sitting with a broken 7950HD and I still have a few games waiting to be played in 4K.
