More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

I've already got a decent current I7 laptop with 8gb ram and 512gb SSD which I run my business from. I've also got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 which is great to take about and do bits on. Therefore I have absolutely zero need for this, but I've still backed it and paid extra for the 512gb SSD. Entirely pointless but I'm hoping it delivers and is decent. I'm unsure for what purpose though.

I quite like that. The SSD upgrade looks exceptionally good value as well.

That's a proper small screen.
I can't imagine actually doing anything desktop based on it. The text must be tiny in any real world docs etc.

How is that any better than this?

Sure it's cheaper, but it's not very well resolved, is it? It looks like a portable TV from the 90s, or the in flight entertainment unit from the same period...

This is less than half the price tho! Plus it has a foldable keyboard?! It's cool, I don't need it, I backed it. Absolutely frivolous.

Looking forward to seeing the outcome...!

How did you find them to deal with? They've advertised a few cars in the past that are of interest, and I need a new car this year so if they're OK I won't be shunned.

Very pleasant to deal with and seem to be bone fide car guys, and genuinely friendly (rather than false bonhomie).

I once sold a Civic Type R to them, the owner caught the train to my house to collect it. Decent company.

Blimey, you're right! I just clicked the link and instantly thought the same thing.

I have a perfectly good daily driver, but don’t like getting it dirty on Sunday mornings when I go clay pigeon shooting. The obvious answer:

Mine's not here yet either - has anyone who ordered received one?

I feel a claim coming on...

Yep, I got mine a couple of weeks ago.

Just checked and mine's due tomorrow... but given it's coming by China Post and the tracking number is invalid, I remain sceptical.

Fortunately it was dirst cheap

Is it any good?

Mine has still not arrived. Sent on April 9th...

Maybe the customs guy can't get it off the conveyor track?

I think your frivolometer needs a reboot.

When I go to the rifle club twice a week, I have a brew
in my very own mug.On Tuesday, I discovered that
the slanted mug I got from a charity shop has gone AWOL.
I expect someone's either taken a a fancy to it and
half-inched it or broken it and smuggled the evidence out.
So this is en route via eBay...




I'm not doing an impression of Col Sgt Bourne from 'Zulu' but I
do appreciate the Martini action and plan to buy a rilfe
with one.

And me.. With SSD and the controller. No idea what I'll use it for, but seems a bargain.

That was my thought too, there's probably loads of these stuck to the sorting machines in heathrow, or the side of the delivery vans.
