Topic: Recent Tech Purchases?

Note: Please don't discuss or share your recent gaming purchases here.

I'll start us off ^_^.

My mom recently ordered us a Sceptre 24 inch 1080p HD LED Monitor for $143.32 New from Walmart's website , it should arrive at our local Walmart store for pick-up on Monday .

We had a Samsung 19 inch 900p HD LED Monitor before, but the LED backlight died on us two days ago .

I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 a few weeks ago and I have to say I love it. Makes it alot easier to visit the site then my last phone. Plus I am able to get all the new apps now without getting a "your os is outdated to use this app" message.

I love my Note 4.

As for the topic, I just sold my Vita and bought a New 3ds. I hate the "3d" portion, and the graphics on even the newest games are terrible, but its got a much better selection of games that I want to play, even if they don't look that great. My wife was against it, thought that it was a downgrade, and it was hard to let it go, but I think I will get more enjoyment out of the New 3ds than I did my Vita.

I recently bought a surface pro 2 - absolute garbage and a waste of time and the £50 keyboard is borderline unusable. Ive also got an earforce p4c headset for online gaming, its good - and cheap I strongly recommend if you are still using the pack in ps4 headset (or ear plug).

What didn't you like about the Surface Pro 2? I just bought the SP3 with the keyboard and like a lot about it but dislike a lot about it as well. Just interested in your opinion on things.

My most recent tech purchase was a Samsung 4K 3D 55HU7500 Television. It upscales too so even 720p Sky broadcasts look a lot better than on my 1080p - just think what this does for games

Officially jealous. I'm gunning for a promotion in the later stages of this year, so with any luck come late March next year (bonus time at my current employers) I'll be in a position to splash out for something similar!

As far as recent tech goes, my latest investment would be the Xperia Z3. I love it, but unfortunately I recently broke it, and without any insurance (foolish of me I know) I'm now waiting to save up the cash to get it repaired!

I needed a laptop and bought the surface pro. It does not work as well as a laptop and the screen although large is too small to use excel properley. The keyboard was a waste of money and now I'm in a job were I don't need a laptop it has sat in its case for the last few months. Gonna take it for a whirl later as its not been used for ages. But with all that said annoying orange has never looked better. Ive got a vita and ps4 for entertainment so its just sat on my shelf.

In my long quest for the (for my use) perfect gaming headset I finally stumbled across the Steelseries Siberia V3 Prism and absolutely love them. Really WIDE soundstage in perfect amplified stereo. Love it.

I mainly use my SP3 to do school work and watch Netflix but occasionally I'll play Dungeon Siege 2. I do have an issue with it dropping my wireless internet connection but I have a feeling that might be the low level router I have in the house. Planning to upgrade routers soon so we shall see if that takes care of it.
I agree with you though, the ps4 and vita are much preferable for gaming. I try to leave my SP3 for schoolwork or Netflix.

@Sorrowful_North yeah its good but not the advertised "laptop replacement" but its useful. If you've noticed there's a best game of all time cup going on in the forum. Get your top 8 games on there before Friday. Dungeon Siege 2 needs to be added

@themcnoisy Compiling list now.

lol. Good luck its hard picking your top 8. Back on the tech purchases I got a new sat helicopter with a remote its well hard to fly.

The Note 4 is a wonderful piece of kit tbh, it ended up replacing my iPad because let's face it, phablets are the best of both worlds, despite being obnoxiously cumbersome at times.....as long as large smart phones remain a thing, I'm going to skip tablets.

Yeah, as a one time owner of both systems, I still find the Nintendo ecosystem to be superior.......Kyoto just does a better job of molding titles for the handheld experince. With that said, it's hard not to look at the 3DS screen every now and then, and not think, "this is really ugly". The New 3DS is a solid piece of kit, but that can't hide the fact that the 3DS usually looks like a muddy Dreamcast title with low poly numbers.

I recently ordered these two items for $15.38 from Amazon .

Network Lan Cable Tester - $5.39 New
Sabrent USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Network Adapter - $9.99 New

(our network card doesn't support gigabit ethernet, even with the latest driver installed)

I don't know it doesn't feel cumbersome to me, but I will agree with you is that with a note 4 I see no point in getting a tablet. In fact I think a tablet would be more cumbersome.
