MSI GS65 versus Gigabyte Aero 15x

XPS — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 00:57:28 +0800

Can get feedback on MSI GS15 and Aero 15x. Also share hardware reliability and how good and professional their service support.

Not looking at ASUS from the many feedback here on support. Trying to move away from Alienware as their support is not what it used to be. Dell outsource so many things (repairs, spare parts) that its getting unpleasant, unless locally Dell is still better than the other vendors?

Thanks.

Recommendations: Yamaha AVR replacement

XPS — Fri, 18 May 2012 11:12:49 +0800

After some good years the AVR developed the common problem that is seen with this model, ie the power supply board problem.

However, it is also timely to look at replacement options. Seldom see shops selling the Adventage series - do not know why. That would be my first option. Maybe its time to also look at other AVR brands and models too, for use mostly for movies and gaming. Appreciate any good suggestions and shops in PJ that I can look towards. Thanks

Undermount Sink - Clips or no clips?

XPS — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:13:21 +0800

Getting some different views on how undermount sinks are installed. Some folks say you don't need clips as the weight of the countertop is enough to hold the sink securely in place. Specifically, why is it that Teka sinks sold in Malaysia for example do not come with the clips whereas the same sink sold in UK or US comes with clips? Anyone knows?

Astro - Satellite Selection Option

XPS — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 18:47:27 +0800

As a matter of interest, for B.yond I noticed that selection of different satellites in the options menu shows signal ranging from 115 to 170. Is there a particular satellite to be selected and what does all this means. TQ

Undermount Sink & Concrete Table Top

XPS — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 00:13:10 +0800

Has anyone completed doing an undermount kitchen sink with the concrete table top? This is for a wet kitchen. Most concrete tops are using top mountings.

Can an undermount sink be nicely fitted like a top mount? Is that over the tiles or tiles are laid full pieces over it? The flush look of undermount sinks look attractive. WOuld be grateful to hear the experiences from this awesome collective of folks.

Many thanks.

XPS — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:29:57 +0800

Would appreciate some price guide for laminated and/or tempered glass,

1. 3 pane kitchen window. Double glazed if there is an option.
2. 2,000mm sliding door.

Just need an idea of supply cost excluding labor if anyone has. Thanks

Ceramic Kitchen Sink

XPS — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:26:37 +0800

Wondering if ceramic sinks are durable from daily use as compared to stainless sink? Planning to get one for my wet kitchen being renovated.

The ceramics are from China branded as Piranha and is quite attractive price wise (over solid stone sinks).

My main concern really is the sink is going to be part of a custom concrete kitchen setup. If it ever need replacement its going to be a pain so the question posted here.

802.1n 5Ghz USB wifi adapter

XPS — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 17:54:06 +0800

Would be grateful if based on your experiences with 5Ghz adapters share with me the more reliable (better) make/model that are available locally. I am moving everything over to 5Ghz cos so many wifi networks over here and pretty sure its going to be congestion at some point

Thanks
