Double driver, great for grabbing drivers off your pc before a rebuild.
Snappy driver. Great if you forget to do the above.
Ninite (website) good for getting all the latest apps (vlc, Flash, open office, av etc) all from one place rather than going from site to site for them.
I use Stremio on my phone and laptop and cast it to my chromecast and it doesn't require a subscription plus has a guest mode if you don't want the account. Setting up an account is worth it for favourites and carrying off from where the film left off etc though.
It's my go to for films now...
I'd fix it and keep it. I don't get why so many on here say it's such a s**t commuter car. Yeah it's no 3 series but it's also no Arial atom. They really aren't that bad with air non, cruise, half decent mpg etc..
As for the not wanting to put miles on it, if you don't someone else will so whats...
The fact that you had a new 197 then around 50,000 1*2's since speaks volumes imo...!
197-200's can look amazing but they just look too much faster than they actually are and overly expensive to run with it... Should've done the r26 engine/box in them for perfection but as it stands I'd take...
Then crack on:blush:. I still wouldn't/wont be recommending them to a non techie though!
Think I have 40-50gb of music kicking about and I'm not even a DJ lol.
Because the likelihood (for a non techie) of it becoming too full too quickly is too great. Windows gets gets more and more bloated over time, music collection becomes more bloated as more is added, new versions of the DJ s software becomes more bloated, DJ decides to try other new software to...
Of course I did, and I also realise the one I posted is of a lesser spec.
I'm talking generally in that 128 is pants on a laptop with the rest of the spec being as good as it is...
Will have to agree to disagree with you on that one. Rest of that laptop is decent and then it's shipped with that crap ssd. Soon as you start putting anything like CS6, auto cad or what ever other large apps plus updates plus a few games etc that space limitation will soon be seen.
I wouldn't...
Obviously they're a bit cheaper but not massively when they buy in bulk . People don't want to be carrying separate drives around all the time. 128 is lame these days with the size of the OS and apps.
It's like getting a phone with 8gb on it still. It just doesn't cut it anymore...
Tbf, pc world has got a lot better than it was in recent years. Its had to to compete with all the online places... They'll still try and sell you loads of way overpriced crap with it though!
The problem with a lot of places is that they still keep selling them with with slow 1tb HDD that most...
Nothing wrong with Windows 10.. With my 2012 samsung i3 laptop with an SSD I could restart it now and be back browsing CS in around 30-45 sec. The difference they make is massive...
I'd have the cheaper Denon I posted over that Sony because of the HDMI. The other will do airplay, spotify/internet radio, DLNA etc.
Have a read about it here.

I'd be looking at Denon, Yamaha or Onkyo
On that budget something like this.

Or this might work better taking the cost of a pie off etc...
Both those you've linked will be crap. In what way was the Sony "too much"?
Personally I'd be looking for an AV amp. 2nd hand or new depending on budget.
Found mine difficult to drive after fitting. The main problems I had was that it had a very unpredictable habit of stalling when ever I stopped at any lights and it kangeroo'd constantly in slow moving traffic.
I wouldn't go near one. They can be difficult and expensive to get spare parts for if something breaks on them ime.
Some laptops with a monitor and kvm switch could be a better option?
Or regular desktops..
@jonno_c Have you looked into why your tv reception is s**t?
When I got rid of Virgin and got a freeview play box my reception was crap. I tried everything apart from getting on the roof eventually got these out to check for 4g interference which wasn't actually that bad. They still put up a...
I went from virgin to Now TV and think it's brilliant for £6 a month tbh.
So the video quality is s**t and your suggesting using a scart to hdmi adaptor that'll be a lot shitter!
