I own Zizzo’s top model (Liberte) and use it all-year for commuting. The beauty of these bikes is that the folding mechanism makes storing it at work or in a closet at home pretty easy. GO Transit also allows these bikes on the train during rush hour. Great bike for someone looking to get into some fair-weather bike commuting this summer!

BCAA required

I spoke to FVW and they said to get the “trade in bonus” advertised on their Flip7 and Fold7 pages (link above) you do the trade in Rogers App after the initial sign up. He said the bonus amounts listed on the regular Rogers site are correct – ie. $480 bonus with S10 128GB trade in. For reference Samsung is only giving $400 bonus TIV.

Check bonus trade in amount at this link
https://www.rogers.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-z-flip7

FLIP7 starts at
$4/month (return it) + Buy out $527 = $623 – $480 promo trade in value with S10 = $143 after trade in

FOLD7 starts at
$33/month (return it) + Buy out $988 = $1780 – $480 promo trade in value with S10 = $1300 after trade in

Note – not factoring in taxes

PLANS (tip: check hero financing for the latter three)
$45/month 60GB 5G Lite
$50/month 100GB 5G Essential CAN/US
$55/month 150GB 5G Premium CAN/US/MEX
$75/month 250GB 5G Premium 64 Countries

These are so good, my favourite chocolate candy! Been waiting so long for these to finally go on sale, order while still available. Great deal at $12.

Edit: I checked my purchase history, the last time it went under $15 was Jul 11, 2023 for $11.

This cable is at least $250 everywhere else. If you need a long run of heavy wire that needs to be armoured, this is a great deal.

First deal posted in a while for me but Best buy is selling brand new S24FE for $499 after a $200 rebate when put in the cart. I bought one today for pickup and it was $565 total. Cheaper than refurbs.

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/sa … d/18475106

Deal on the page says the following

Get a $200 in-cart discount when you purchase an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S24 FE smartphone.*

When added to the cart, it takes off $200.

Not bad for a fairly new model, everywhere else is selling it for $699 on sale.

CyberPower GC201 6″ Heavy Duty Extension Cord, $3.41

Search brings up 4 different expired threads referring to this 6-inch extension cord.
Figured I’d post a new thread for better visibility.

I had previously purchased a couple at $3.21 and decided to order more but OSS at the time.
Placed order now at $3.41 each.

Pretty handy cords. Wouldn’t want to pay full price – this is RFD!

On sale at The Beer Store for $2.18 / single can + GST + deposit = $2.56 for a full half litre 5.5 alcohol beer. The single can price lets you buy less than a 24 pack and still get the sale price.

If you purchase a case of 24 total cost is $61.44

As you would expect this is a full flavoured lager with a European taste. I think this is a reasonable deal.

I do not know when the sale is over, sorry.

ASUS Vivobook S 15 Copilot+ PC, 15.6″ Thin and Light Laptop, 3K 120Hz OLED Display, Snapdragon® X Plus Processor, 16GB Memory, 1 TB SSD, Copilot Key, Wi-Fi 7, Cool Silver, S5507QA-DB71-CB – $799 (47% off) (Reg. 1499.99)

Warning to anyone considering it: make sure to check that the applications you want will run on this machine, the processor is ARM64, it’s still relatively recent technology, not everything will work like on regular x86 Intel or AMD processors. Google Windowsonarm for an exhaustive list or applications and whether they work natively or not. Windows has built a “translator” of sorts, that will emulate x86 for applications which aren’t natively supported. It works well, I have not had issues installing a few apps that aren’t made for ARM64.

With that out of the way, I’m quite happy with it, a few random thoughts:

– The screen is drop-dead gorgeous, I can’t get used to how beautiful it looks, had a lot of fun watching movies and series on this thing, even looking at a 4K wallpaper is quite the experience. The 120Hz refresh rate makes it even prettier. I’ve never had an OLED screen, so you might not be as impressed as me depending on where you come from, but I love it.

– The design is gorgeous, just beautiful overall. The keyboard is very satisfying to type on, I like the backlight and the sound it makes, but beware it can be hard to see the letters under certain conditions. The touchpad is alright, it’s not amazing, but that’s not unusual on most laptops that aren’t Macbooks.

– The speakers are average, I don’t like them very much. It doesn’t matter to me as I use headphones, but if that’s something you care about, keep it in mind, they get a little tinny when the volume is high.

– It’s very snappy and responsive, a pleasure to use so far. Browsing the web, productivity tasks, Office work, etc. is instantaneous.

– Battery life is great, compared to laptops with the usual x86 processors. It’s crazy to me that I can see it reach 10% and know I have plenty of time to finish up my work, without needing to rush to grab the charger. It’s a way different from the usual Windows laptop experience when it comes to battery life. Obviously it depends on what you’re doing, I’ve had it last the whole day, but I’ve had it last about 6 hours with heavier loads, still very good.

– This and all ARM64 laptops do NOT play games! I personally don’t game, so I don’t care, but if you want to play games, stay clear, it will play some games, and maybe will play more as more developers work on compatibility, but right now, it’s terrible for gaming even if the processor is good on paper.

– Last note, as this is not shown anywhere on the Amazon page, this is the Snapdragon Elite X1P-42-100, it’s the most budget version. It’s not that far from the highest tears in terms of raw processing power, not as much as you’d think, but the GPU is much worse. For my usage, I don’t notice any difference, it feels fast. If you need a good GPU, this isn’t what you want.

That’s pretty much it so far, no regrets, my only advice is do your research, and be specific about exactly WHAT YOU NEED vs what this computer CAN ACTUALLY DO. If you do that, and it fits your criteria, you won’t regret it.
