Black Friday/ Cyber Monday etc
So, as this was a topic last year, I figured I may as well kick off early this time. I have already seen a few mentions here and there and even spotted some early flyers from a few little general retailers.
So what do you guys have on your wish list for this year?
I'm in the (not so) lucky position of needing a new disk for my trusty Asus Zenbook. I have been getting doom and gloom messages on and off over the last few weeks from Windows about a failing hard disk. No surprise there really, it's travelled with me for 10's of 1000's of miles getting bumped about since I purchased it and is usually running 24/7, so it's a combination of old age hastened by rough handling to blame. So at the top of my list this year is a sparkly new 512GB Samsung 850 Pro, which I think will pair nicely with my Zen and should give it a kick in performance too. The Zen originally came with 6GB of RAM installed, and to be fair, I have never really pushed it to the point where more was needed, but if I have a shiny new SSD in it going forward, I may as well max out the memory too. So I'll also be adding an 8GB SoDimm to that list as well. I'm sure there will be other things on my wish list by the time all the flyers are released. For example, I need some new chisel's and some sharpening stones etc, so who knows
