#2 After 25 minutes of absolute slavering over it he tells you it's for $700 and releasing in December. Glad I just bought the wife two new phones, she'd definitely want this exorbitantly priced mini PC.

For $700, I could build a desktop that would slay any new game.

#4 Speaking about smartphones, I have to replace Jr's old one. I sorta like Samsung Galaxy A12 - any advice?

#5 I bought Oppos before I knew they were chinese, Grom ☻. But the one wifey had before was a Samsung galaxy A10 something and performs seriously well enough. The junior will obviously want games. I don't know if the Samsung will have heat problems.

My niece selected a Motorola fusion G-40. I find it better than the Samsung at games and stuff.

#8 p.s. I've just found an article (in Hebrew unfortunately) that says Motorola fusion G-40 is made in India and is cheaper & better BUT not available in Israel.

#10 Well, junior certainly won't wait, sir. How about the Galaxy M32?

#11 He'll settle for Galaxy 12 (unless his mother decides it's too much - she is the final arbiter). If he wants more abilities, he's his own desktop.
