And at the end of the Windows 10 spectrum, at the Worst Buy dailies, there’s a $210 ASUS laptop but thankfully it has 4GB of RAM, not 2GB. Even ChromeOS can’t run on 2GB these days as it is suffering from the inevitable fate of all software and OSes: b-l-o-a-t-i-n-g…

15% off on Peak Design camera bags with In-Cart discount

A shopping cart discount [no coupon needed, but you must add the item to the shopping cart] offers a variety of Peak Design camera bags for a 15% off discount at the Massdrop website. The price you see on the listing ($220) is the price before the discount for the 13L model.

When inside the shopping cart, you will have the option of selecting various kinds of bags including backpacks, slings, messengers and pouches. The listing is very detailed showing all the options and such…

This offer is running for the next six days and change from blog-posting date, with a mid-April shipment estimate. Massdrop will do the shipping. The bags come with a Peak Design lifetime warranty, however, all sales are final, meaning they don’t accept returns if you don’t like them or you picked the wrong color or size.

International Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 PRO ED for $880 + S&H

If you are comfortable getting a PRO lens without a manufacturer warranty, Massdrop is offering for the next two days and change [from blog-posting time] the new condition Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 PRO ED M.Zuiko lens for $880 plus shipping which is under $10 for the US zipcodes I tried and varying around $20 depending on country.

There is no mention of warranty in the listing, so assume there is no warranty. This is the international version of the lens. This is how they explain it on their page.

The orders will be shipped in mid-April of 2019 by Massdrop…

Monday: 10% off many things at KEH Camera w/coupon

A new 1-day coupon is running at KEH Camera, good until Monday MAR-18-2019 at 11:59pm ET, coupon code PARTY3A gets you 10% off most things sold at the KEH Camera website. Exclusions apply as always: no Leica, no “NEW” and no “Used – Like New” products.

PS: I still catch myself writing “2018” instead of “2019” at times, so if you discern any, from the context, you can guestimate it is a mental auto-complete typo 🙂
