You should see the disk activity light on the BeQuiet! case that I used for my last build. I swear it's not a regular led but a super bright led. I ended up putting some silver duct tape over it.

Sounds like the Netgear Super-G router I had years ago - "super" referred to the brightness of the 5 or 6 traffic lights, not the bandwidth of the router. It was against a wall opposite a window and my neighbor across the street was highly impressed by it...

Best Buy Canada has a nice Black Friday deal on Lenovo Tablets right now.

I'm tempted to pick up the M8 as a new portable reader. I have a M10 2nd Gen (4GB RAM, 64 GB storage) and really like it, but portable it isn't. I use an old Blackberry Playbook for reading PDFs on the go, but it's old and unsupported, and I wouldn't mind something with a few more tricks up its sleeve when I go out.

Even the M7 would be a substantial upgrade from the Playbook, but I'd rather spend the $30 for the bigger screen, faster processor, and extra GB of RAM.

What's the software like on the M10? I get annoyed when tablet and phone vendors feel the need to enhance Android with their crap stuff. My Samsung tablet keeps telling me I should enable some helpful reminding or whatever gizmo that I'm not going to use. I miss the days of my Google Nexus tablet.

Lenovo does add in a few apps, but not very many. For the most part, the M line is very close to stock Android 9 Pie. (The M7 uses the Pie Go Edition.)

Lenovo doesn't have the best track record of updating Android on their tablets, but I just did some digging, and found out that they're updating the M line to Android 10. As a matter of fact, I'm downloading the update as I type this. :-D

Ok, thanks.

About the Kindle $30 off deal: the product listing says it has 4GB storage, but I’m pretty sure a little while ago I noticed it said 8GB, and (before that) other users here reported getting one with 8GB.

Are there 8GB (basic) Kindles or not?

Maybe they refreshed it similar to the PW2 (2GB original, 4GB later batches).
