I have a Motorola Edge 30 5G Dual SIM (128GB) smartphone for sale. Running stock Android but can be flashed with the latest version of LineageOS if you want to go off grid. Works well but has a bit of wear and tear. Yours for $200 posted! DM me if you're keen.

Giving Samsung's onyx cinema another shot - wasn't that impressed with it last time and ended up getting a refund from Hoyts for the multiple dead pixels I could see from the back row. Not how PTA wants us to watch One Battle After Another but it's the best I can do

I got this little computer off Amazon for $650 and it is awesome value for money - AMD 7840HS, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, USB4 & 2.5G Ethernet - but the fan noise is so irritating I think I'm gonna return it. Disappointing.
