Purchasing Advice

[Zizou]

The watch in your link and Walt's piccy are fashion watches. Designed purely for looking nice - almost exclusively powered by battery. Nothing wrong with that, of course. It is what most ladies wear.

The watch you have linked looks like it has the ability to remove the strap which I would say you should go for. There are literally thousands of aftermarket strap choices for watches so it gives her more flexibility if she wants a change.

Walt's watch strap looks like it is integrated to the case - meaning you'd likely have to go to the actual watch manufacturer to get a different strap. Again, nothing wrong with that, but it limits your options.

If you are buying as a gift  that she hasn't seen then I would go for the one you have linked as she'll have more options with it.

A 'proper' watch is powered by a mini engine - meaning there are cogs and springs in constant motion powering the watch.

Yeah she won't give a fuck about the mechanics of it tbf. Pozzy for the info.

This is what the wife wanted at christmas:

You got any recommendations for male watches similar to this?

Quite like watches with a simple dark strap, probably navy with a fairly big light face.

[Walter Sobchak]

Johnny some boy.

Morph, they're unisex, have a look at the website. Though the 01 is a bigger face compared to the 02 so would be the more masculine one.

Gents, I need a new laptop in the next few months. Ideally it needs to be thin and light as I will be taking it traveling with me. Essentially I need it for football manager and she is taking her camera so wants to be able to do 'photo stuff' with it.

I was thinking about a macbook, however I would imagine there is cheaper Windows alternatives?

Seen any deals about?

As the THF's recognised laptop expert I'll get back to you on this after having a look at what's available.

Also looking for a new laptop if Mak or anyone else has any suggestions?

Only looking to spend £300-£400.

Might buy a MacBook Air tomorrow. Anyone recommend? I know the pro is better but it's twice the price so not sure my light usage would necessitate the extra outlay.

[Huevo en Mi Cara]

What do you do on it? Unless you're using it for professional use that's going to work it hard get an air. (Marathon masturbating sessions don't count).

Google usually has half decent suggestions.

Right you are lewis. Shut the thread down mods.

Remote connecting to my office desktop, light video editing, web browsing, iTunes and photoshopping Acey's face on to hot nudes is pretty much the extent of it.

Get the pro if you want a flashy laptop if you can afford it but you'd be fine doing that on an air

[PHOODLE-OUt]

That's what I'm thinking, it's not got an hd screen (wouldn't watch to on it anyway) or force track pad but that's what keeps the cost down. Just scared I buy it and then realise I should have just got a newer cooler one :

Might see how much the 2015 pro's are with the touch bar

[Huevo en Mi Cara]

Recommend buying apple refurbished tbh.  They replace all the bits that you'd be hesitant about buying second hand.  Battery/case gets changed on the ipads so i assume it's the same on the laptops.

I've got one of those, it's great tbh

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Has the touch bar got a fingerprint unlock thingy?

[Mastermind]

Touch bar is fucking useless, complete gimmick. It actually makes it harder to do simple things like change the volume and brightness.


Touch ID is very good though.

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Yeah, I only want it through sheer laziness

[Huevo en Mi Cara]

Anybody got a chromecast?

The netflix app on my TV is utter shit, every time i start a show it cuts out within 5 seconds and you need to keep going back into it maybe 5-6 times before it eventually works. I've got netflix on my xbox but i don't think it's that good to navigate etc. Also wanting to stream music to my TV which i think you can do with the chromecast?

Is the £30 one decent or is it better to get the chromecast ultra if you're planning on watching a lot of video through it?

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Get Apple TV

Where's the best place to get astroturf type trainers for 5s?

Need a new pair as I'm starting to play regularly again.
