My notebook computer is a Lenevo T450s, which I bought new just over 7.5 years ago. It has continued to serve me well, as I have added or replaced a few parts over the years: additional RAM soon after I purchased the computer; a hard-drive caching module which Lenovo replaced promptly within the 3-year warranty; an SSD to replace the original HDD, which failed after warranty; and the keyboard, which also failed after warranty.

This last month the headphone port failed. I wondered whether to attempt a repair myself, but I didnā€™t feel like prying the keyboard from the chassis once again (not a trivial task on the T450s) to access the failing port. I also considered buying a new notebook computer, but Iā€™m disinclined to spend money to replace a computer which is in all important respects serving my needs perfectly. So, instead, I purchased this DAC and headphone amplifier:

It was Singles Day in China (which has morphed into an almost two-week sales event lasting from 11/1 to 11/11). So on AliExpress I paid a mere $78.15 (USD) for this device, including free two-day shipping from China (it actually shipped from Hong Kong) to my remote address in the middle of nowhere. I didnā€™t have to pay any tax or customs fees.

I am amazed by the quality of this device. I also own a more-expensive, higher-end DAC, connected to hi-fi equipment; but this inexpensive device is fabulous, especially as a replacement for the poor-quality DAC on the Lenovoā€™s motherboard, not to mention that it solves the problem of the computerā€™s failing headphone port. I am happy now to be listening to music on my notebook computer, with headphones, enjoying audio nearly as high quality as what I hear on my hi-fi system.

This beauty, however, no EndeavourOS support (currently working with forum members to track down the culprit, but all signs seem to be the RTX 4090)ā€¦

I got a couple of new toys recently. There was also points back on the Pixel Phone so I also ordered a Pixel Watch for next to nothing. Still waiting for that to arrive thoughā€¦

I never had wireless earbuds before and I wanted to get some rather cheap ones just to see if I would like using them.
So I got those on sale for just ā‚¬20 and I have to say that they sound really good given the price! (Well, at least for Jazz, didnā€™t listen to any other music yet.)

Samsung QN90B

So far I am not impressed. Yes the tv has a way better picture quality then my previous one which was a 1080p model from 10 years back but tizen OS is trash and no way to install third party apps so I refused the terms of service and use it as a ā€˜dumbā€™ television.

I bought those cheap JLab buds about a week ago just to see if I would like using buds.
Well, I do like using them, so, after watching and reading a lot of reviews and comparisons, I got the Sony Linkbuds S for a really good price :slightly_smiling_face:

This came earlierā€¦ Not bad. I paid mostly with the store points I earned by buying the 7 Pro.

Onyx Boox Max Lumi 2

I really like it. But since I just got it, my impressions are not 100% objective and Iā€™ll have to use it for about a week before I can make a detailed review, as requested by @Zircon34. So far, itā€™s better than I expected it to be. On the photo it looks like the screen is glowing, but it is not, itā€™s like paper (only a bit smoother).
