    You’re definitely going to want a second hand laptop if you’re spending 300 quid. Best bet is to look on eBay. Pick a GPU (off the top of my head, maybe a 970 or 1050) and search for those. Then check each result and start comparing. It’s a nightmare trying to see if the CPU is any good. I usually check it on passmark every time









  • I’ve given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don’t know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I’ve used it I’ve regretted it. “Check-in” is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can’t be trusted. And it’s not even much cheaper than hotels now.

    This doesn’t go for every AirBnB, I’m sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don’t want the uncertainty.
