The teclast is similar to that acer. But comes with win 10 pro instead of home, has more ram, 128gb ssd and an all aluminium body.

We have gotten about 6 of them to give out to people at work so far as they are cheap enough that if someone destroys one it's not a big deal while still good enough to get the job done without looking like they are a really cheap laptop.

I thought it had 64gb emmc from my google? At what price point (for everyday consumers) was the 128gb ssd?

The Acer is aluminum too

Edit: found the 128gb for $450 on eBay delivered.

There seems to be trade offs in each case - 10 hours battery versus Acer 15 etc. Buy online versus Aus retailer. With these notebooks the finer details/specs come down to preference or which compromise means the least to you. What shit me when looking is that all the retailers had their ever so slightly different takes on a given model so that they can't be price matched on them.

Yea, I think we are paying about $460 delivered from gearbest. Win10 pro vs home is a deal breaker for business use though and is generally $100 more to get pro.

Follow the announcements not the people shook by em; key words "as expected" repeated about 5 times throughout

My only regret is that I topped up lastweek instead of today

London seems to be reading the announcement a bit more carefully

I did follow the announcement, they are in the middle of the artificial lift and haven't gotten enough frac fluid out for any meaningful data as has been mentioned for over a year. So after it crashed, I bought some more.

London 3.3 equivalent

Watch us follow them back up tomorrow

Cause we can never lead them anywhere except down

Aussie investors are the worst

Called it; close on 3.3

This is why you don't follow the market...they are just following other people and doing it emotionally. So the quick sell off snowballs into a Chinese whisper of the sky is falling. That's why you buy when people are selling and vice versa.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
