Yes, there is a tab-like design to the camera, that actually double well as a way to open the laptop.

Yeah, I'd love to go back again!

Got a PlayStation, that could be the deciding factor. Would be interested to hear what othes say, but the QD-OLED vs OLED Evo I believe, and many think QD gets the nod for Samsung.

Yeah, you'd think so. Anything narrower than the head of the Wash G1

Thank you for adding your experience to the mix!

You'd think so. There argument was that hot water isn't required, as it's purpose is to break down stubborn stains that are being scrubbed by hand. Because the agitation of the mop is so much more than you can do by hand, hot water isn't needed. I'm not so sure.

Oh, that's an interesting quetion. You can draw up to 2400W on this beast, so techically you might be able to. It's never been presented to me as a use case though, which tells me Anker is wary of the idea. You'd only get about 45-min out of the battery though. Maybe enough to get you out of trouble I guess.

Gotta start somewhere!

They actually addressed that specifically in the presentation (see this video - czcams.com/video/o150o9A958c/video.html) as being the number one pain point for consumers. So the two water containers, and the particle catcher, can all just go in a dishwasher.

Yeah they can use it - I'm not sure what the advice is on young kids and VR, but my kids use VR ok. I know Sony advices that you're at least 12, but I don't know why.

Really, very interesting. Haven't heard of that one before. Will be keen to hear the resolution if they discover it.

Nope, it's not carpet friendly.

I do, it's an enjoyable listen.

I think it still is, right? Just the Bravia 8 isn't.

Who dis?

Yep, I think that's pretty fair commentary. I guess if you haven't bought into the range yet, the Bravia 8 has slightly more appeal. Assuming the price difference isn't too great.

Not too sure actually. He briefly brought up the menu on screen to show how you can adjust the soundbar through the TV, and I didn't pick up on an EQ in there. But you'd have to think so, right? What's proving unreliable about your Arc. I've been using an Arc and it's been going ok.

Yeah I think so. I did mention it to Koala and they were keen at the time. Will check in.

All independent sign-ins. So you can sign in with whatever account you want.

Yes I do think so. They were talking at the event of how businesses have been using it. Places like gyms and restaurants as its capable of doing a large space.

I don't think this is a bad call. If you can afford a bigger size in the A80L, then I'm not sure the advantages of the B9 on a smaller screen size are a better option. Also, if it's a room where you can control the ambient light, the brightness is less of a factor.

Guess we won't know until people have had them for a while, but my understanding is that the risk of burn in is real, but not as bad as it used to be.

The Legion Go screen is definitely a big plus, but its battery life and weight is an issue. If your commute (or how you plan to use it) is less than an hour, than probably isn't such an issue. I won't know which I prefer for sure until the ROG Ally X review unit arrives. Hopefully soon!

Do you find it too hard/firm?

As a comparison of picture quality, it's the added brightness that is the main contributor.

The Bravia 8 Quad combo will definitely be better than the A80L Quad combo, as the new Acoustic Sync does a better job of utilising the Bravia 8 speakers as individuals (as opposed to making them all behave as the "centre"). On paper, the Bravia 9 Quad combo should be better again, as the TV itself has more speakers and total W output, as well as the same Acoustic Sync enhancements. However, the Bravia 8 does position its speakers differently, vibrating the sound through the screen. So that could play a role in "catching up to the 9." Interested to hear other's thoughts.

@@motivatedtravel Thx for your elaborate response.

You can't help but wonder at this point if a ROG Ally 2 or ROG Ally OLED is far off, too.

Big screen is good for sure. And yeah, who knows when the Go 2 will land.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you, glad it helped. Hoping I get my hands on a review unit soon and can offer more advice.

Unfortunately I haven't tried that one myself. Looks decent on paper - I like how you can choose your firmness. Doesn't look like it has a trial period, though.

@motivatedtravel yep it has a lot of foam, micro springs and pocket springs. It was incredibly comfortable when I tried it a few days ago. Just torn betwen getting a mattress like that that I can try in-store vs one of these online mattresses in a box.

@@vinayshsureshram277 I can tell you I have trialed a mattess in a box and returned it (was a Koala one, actually) and the process worked fine. Not sure if that helps, but it's a legit option.

@@motivatedtravel thanks, that helps

Haven't used it myself. On paper, looks ok for the price. Smallish screen was what caught my eye.

@@motivatedtravel yeah I think they need to be going to larger screens not smaller. Nice to see intel builds aswell

July, however they haven't confirmed a specific day.

It's a good question!!!! I'm not blown away by the "leap" made between the A80L and the Bravia 8. It's a close call, getting the extra size and losing a few features. How important is brightness going to be where you put the TV. It's a dark room, brightness is less of a concern.

If you are able to get the 83" A80l, It will have an evo panel, the structure of the a90j, And a small heat sink within the panel. Essentially, you would be getting in A90J with XR clear if you get an 83" A80L

@@motivatedtravel our room is not bright, there are no lights in front of the TV either, they are all in the ceiling, and our big window is on the East Side, so by the afternoon, the sun is gone :D

@@spyofborg So, not much natural light to compete with, which mitigates the need for huge brightness bump somewhat.

You can't record, but you don't really need to as everything is on demand. As for live TV, if the app supports it (like Binge and Kayo) then you can pause and rewind. Most free-to-air don't do this, however.

Which one, the Quads?

Yep, correct. Handy having them set out like that, too.

@@motivatedtravel which is thunderbolt 3/4 @40gbit

@@mantheman100 I think they are both USB 4.0, which is Thunderbolt 3 compatible.

@@motivatedtravel and that's so awesome! Glad Lenovo product engineers are having a good mandate on this product! You can tell that they know how people wanna use their device

Main Reason?

@@motivatedtravel that screen man.

I think it was the cove bedhead, and yes it solved the problem, but it's not as nice.

I've literally head an aysuss rep pronounce it both ways in the same presentation.

Yeah the price is crazy, isn't it. I had to take the whole unit upstairs, as it self-empties a couple of times during the process. And yes, I really should have filmed myself emptying the dust bag. Maybe I will stick that up as a separate video for people. It was pretty easy. It doesn't fall out, but it comes to the entrance and I just pulled it out bit by bit with my finger. Took less than 5 minutes to take out, empty and put back in.

Ah was it? Dang! I must have got mixed up as I thought they were all QD-OLED last year. Thank you for letting me know. I'll pin a note about it.

@@motivatedtravel To be honest, Sony *should* used QD-OLED for the Bravia 8 instead of WOLED. Then it could compete vs Samsung QD-OLEDS way better. S90D is way cheaper than the Bravia 8. Not sure if it is a smart move. And they do know that people do love QD-OLED but the A95L is crazy expensive.

Thank you! It's been well over a year since I used the A80L and I've seen plenty of TVs since. Can't be sure, other than to say I believe the new processor will be better, because it's all about contrast, and you've got a 10% brightness creep here. I suspect there will be a small improvement.

Hahaha, sorry can't help you with that one. Didn't see what he grabbed. I think I was a M, which was weird, I'm usually L or XL for everything. But didn't see what Nick grabbed.

@@motivatedtravel I guess he is M. Thank you anyway. I'll appreciate if you can find his size ;)

Thanks Josh, appreciate the comment, sub and the note about the Darche, might have a look at that one. In the end I find myself just taking a trestle table for short trips as it sits flat on the bottom of the trailer. The Oztrail's weight and awarkness makes it not worth it unless it's a week-long stay somewhere.

You're welcome! So glad it was of help.

What is it about the Dreame that stands out?

@@motivatedtravel How about spinning mops for start? Extendable and Liftable Side Brush. Hands-Free Base Sation. Smart Mop & Washboard Cleaning. MopExtend™ RoboSwing Technology. 12,000Pa Vormax Suction. OmniDirt Detection Technology. REMOVABLE MOP for Carpet Cleaning. Precision Mopping. 6,400Mah battery, Optional clean/dirty water hookup without having to choose one or the other you can convert it later if you chose etc. They just do everything a little bit better imo. Several sites, tech blogs, and CZcamsrs have the Dreame X40 Ultra as the one to beat as well.

@@BlazingNina Does sound excellent on paper. I might have to see if I can get my hands on one!

@@motivatedtravel you won’t regret it!
