BMAX B1 Windows 10 PC - $109.99 from Banggood
(£85.62/AU$142.33) For less than $110, this computer packs some useful features, including a free M.2 slot, a Gigabit Ethernet port and a VGA port. Its Celeron CPU, while not particularly fast, should prove more than sufficient for most office tasks.View Deal
BMAX may not be a household name, but with a product like the B1 mini PC (which can double as a thin client), it may well be soon.
Unlike some other sub-$100 computers, the B1 is based on the Intel Celeron N3060 CPU, which is slightly more powerful than the Atom x5-Z8350 usually found in these devices.
This could make this mini PC a perfect match for anyone looking for an affordable, yet fairly competitive business computer.
The B1 also packs 4GB of memory and 64GB eMMC storage; unique among sub-$100 PCs is the fact you can also add a second SSD drive thanks to an extra M.2 slot.
Given how cheap SSDs are at the moment (even 2TB models), this might be an easy route to netting a souped-up storage server - just remember it's only SATA-compatible.
The rest of the configuration is pretty much standard for an entry level PC. It features 802.11ac Wi-Fi, four USB ports, VGA port (a rarity at this price), HDMI connector, microSD card slot, Gigabit Ethernet (even rarer) and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Since it has a VESA bracket, you will also be able to drop it out the back of a monitor without too much trouble.
As a disclaimer, don’t expect the B1 to be in any way powerful enough to play recently-released games or conduct compute-intensive tasks, but it will be great for office work and other light tasks.
If this product comes from mainland China, it will take at least a month to reach the UK or US (and potentially more). You may be levied a tax either directly or through the courier.
If you've managed to get hold of a cheaper product with equivalent specifications, in stock and brand new, let us know and we'll tip our hat to you.

The details of the second stimulus check continue to be an urgent topic for Washington lawmakers. If you're still waiting for your first check, here's how to find out what happened.
July has come and gone – that's usually when we would expect Amazon Prime Day to take place. However, we do have confirmation that Amazon hasn't cancelled its big sale outright. It's been postponed, although we'll have to wait a while for the official date to be revealed.
The tradition of Amazon Prime Day in Australia is still relatively new as compared to other markets. We've had only two so far and, within that short period of time, the popularity of the deals avalanche has been significant. It started off in 2018 as a mere 24-hour sale and promptly become a massive 65-hour shopping bonanza in 2019.
Across the almost-three days of Prime Day last year, over 340,000 Aussies visited Amazon per day, with 40,000 of them making purchases, according to a report from the Australian branch of the company. If that’s the kind of traffic Amazon can handle, we won’t be surprised if the e-commerce giant ups the ante in 2020 – although the current pandemic may become a hinderance (we'll just have to wait and see).
Initial reports put the official Amazon Prime Day 2020 date somewhere August, but that soon became September. Now there's talk about it being held in October. While there's no official word on whether that's true or not, Amazon has confirmed to TechRadar that the sale will take place "later this year".
Another good indication that Prime Day hasn't been cancelled is that India has already enjoyed a massive 2020 sale this August. So it's just a matter of being patient for eager Aussie shoppers.
And October does make sense. This not only gives Amazon time to steady itself from the effects of the pandemic, it also gives consumers time to possibly recover from the economic downturn the global crisis has brought. But whether an October date will ride into the Black Friday deals territory – another invented online shopping period that Amazon heavily relies on – remains to be seen.
Whether Amazon Prime Day 2020 is in September or in October, we have a lot of questions: on what date or dates will it happen? What Prime Day sales are expected this year? Should you buy on Prime Day or wait until Black Friday?
We're here to help answer those questions while official details are still in the offing.
Amazon Prime Day began in the US in 2015 as a celebration of the company’s 20th anniversary, with more deals on offer than Black Friday back then. Prime Day then quickly transformed into Amazon’s mid-year sales event where members of Amazon Prime get exclusive discounts on a wide range of items. While it began as a one-day sale, 2018 saw the offers last for 36 hours, while 2019 saw a recording-breaking 65-hour event for shoppers in Australia.
Why does Amazon have Prime Day? It's presented as a neat ‘thank you’ to its paying members, but one that involves giving Amazon more money and shifting a lot of stock at the same time.
Prime Day isn’t just about selling Amazon-branded products – many other brands and third-party sellers also save their best deals for Prime Day, completely aware that thousands of extra shoppers will be hitting the online store.
To make the most of Prime Day you’ll need to get yourself an Amazon Prime membership which, in Australia, will set you back just AU$6.99 a month or AU$59 a year – half the cost of the US subscription.
While you’re paying for the privilege of free, swift delivery (although that’s currently being slowed down to make space for the essential items people are ordering), signing up for Prime means you’ll also have free access to Amazon’s streaming services, including Prime Video, Prime Music and Twitch. Members also get free access to Prime Reading and Prime Photos for all their ebook and storage needs.
Amazon hasn’t confirmed the date for this year’s big sale event, but Prime Day has never been pushed beyond July before. That said, the current coronavirus pandemic has made things a little uncertain. Amazon has been struggling to cope with online shopping demands in most markets, Australia included, so scheduling Prime Day as per tradition in July has been difficult.
While an earlier report suggested Prime Day 2020 would be in August, a later report claimed it had been postponed to September. However, if the latest news is to be believed, Amazon has pushed the event further back to October. This was revealed in emails sent to third-party retailers and was seen by CNBC.
Amazon has also confirmed to us that Prime Day will be "later this year", so an October date looks very likely. That said, it's possible different markets will experience Prime Day on different dates as India is kicking things off as early as August 6 and will continue for 48 hours.
Last year's Prime Day deals lasted 65 hours for shoppers Down Under,h and while we're hoping it will be same this time round as well, having it late in the year may affect Amazon's plans for Black Friday and the company could cut the duration of the sale short.
Amazon has historically picked a Monday to start the deals and Prime Day usually runs through Tuesday (with a possible extension corresponding to the time the big sale ends over on the US West Coast).
If October is indeed the month, that leaves one of four choices for the start of Prime Day 2020:
Monday, October 5, 2020
Monday, October 12, 2020
Monday, October 19, 2020
Monday, October 26, 2020
If Amazon is truly planning an October event, then the company may need to work around Apple's iPhone 12 launch date – which itself is still unknown but is likely to hog the spotlight.
As soon as we catch wind of the Prime Day 2020 date, we'll be sure to update this page so you can prepare your Amazon wish list.
How long will Prime Day 2020 last?
Well, it's hard to say with any degree of certainty. We can't see Amazon reducing the amount of time Prime Day lasts for, so we're expecting Prime Day 2020 to last at least 65 hours this year, if not longer, although an October date might affect Amazon's plans for Black Friday that happens in November.
That said, in light of the recent reports of Prime Day 2020 moving back in the year, it could be even longer than expected. Prime Day a few years ago was only that, a day, but in 2018 it moved to 36 hours, and last year was a whopping 65 hours of deals for Aussies.
So we'll just have to wait for official word on what's happening to see how long this year's shopping spree will last.

Are Prime Day deals competitive?
Amazon has a plethora of offers on its site each day and those are usually some of the best prices you can find on consumer tech. Whether you’re after a Samsung Note 10 or a Philips Hue smart lighting system, chances are you’ll get them cheaper on Amazon than any other Aussie retailer. It’s even more the case with Prime Day deals.
Leading the raft of deals during Prime Day 2020 will be Amazon’s own products, including all the Echo and Kindle products, not to mention Ring security devices. Amazon is also one of the most convenient places to score a discount on the Oculus VR headsets and, now, lay your hands on official stock of Samsung devices, Xiaomi phones and Instant Pots.
You can easily score about 35% off on Amazon’s own devices during Prime Day which, for the rest of the year probably don’t drop more than 28% or thereabouts. If you’ve managed to score a $500 discount on Samsung or Huawei devices during one of Amazon’s regular deals, then it’s highly likely that the discount will be much deeper come Prime Day. It’s the perfect time to snag a Nintendo Switch or find the lowest prices on the best premium headphones – cheaper than any other retailer who will likely be scrambling to price-match.
What were people searching for on Amazon Prime Day 2019?
According to analytics experts Hitwise, Amazon saw an increase in traffic across all major categories on the Australian site, with the Electronics & Computing showing a 359% growth in reach between 2018 and 2019, with Amazon-branded items being the most popular products on the site, followed closely by the Nintendo Switch. There were nearly 100,000 page views for all NIntendo-branded items, including consoles and games.
With Samsung now having partnered with Amazon to sell its products on the e-commerce platform in Australia, it was no surprise that the South Korean brand clocked up over 95,000 pageviews during Prime Day 2019.
The other big winners in Australia included Sony, Sandisk, Corsair and Philips.
What to expect from Prime Day 2020
We’re not expecting shopping trends during Amazon Prime Day 2020 to change very much. The Nintendo Switch is still going to disappear within minutes of being discounted, and this could happen to the Switch Lite too if you aren’t quick enough.
Of course, Amazon’s Echo devices will likely be flying off the shelves like before, and we’ll still see the Paperwhite beating out the other Kindles in terms of sales. You can even expect to pocket some decent savings on Ring’s range of security devices, including the Doorbells and the cameras.
Premium headphones have been very popular on Amazon over the last couple of years and 2020 will likely see that continue, particularly for Sony and Bose headphones. With the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 one of the more expensive ANC cans on the market, Prime Day will be a great time to get a set for less.
With more TVs available on Amazon Australia now, we think Prime Day 2020 would be an ideal time to upgrade your home entertainment system, especially if you’re in the market for a good 4K smart telly.
It will also be a good time to get yourself a new fitness wearable, be it from Garmin’s very premium GPS sports watch range or more affordable options from Fitbit. Likewise, cameras and drones will see a price drop, too, so keep that credit card handy.
How to shop on Prime Day in 2020
1. Check out our deals predictions and, eventually our Prime Day deals list
There are also too many deals available on Prime Day. It's never a problem finding discounts, it's always an issue of figuring out what deals are worth your money. That's why we always set up a curated list during the sales marathon.
2. Amazon Prime Day has historically required being a Prime member, so be sure to have a subscription on Prime Day
Amazon started Prime Day as a clever way to drive up its Prime subscription count, and this online shopping marathon – conveniently opposite Black Friday – accomplished just that.
3. Create a wish list to curate what you want, as there will be loads of deals
You're also going to want to create a wish list ahead of time, which will let you sort out what you want and how much everything costs. This will give you a head start. You'll be able to see which deals dropped in price and which did not.
4. Snap up the best Prime Day 2020 deals before they're gone
We often find the best deals to go in a matter of minutes, at which time Amazon rolls out a waitlist for those who were just behind the curve.
Prime Day: why does it matter more to Amazon?
There are some crucial differences between Prime Day and Black Friday. The first is that Prime Day is Amazon’s own day. It’s right there in the name which, of course, refers to Amazon’s Prime membership program and associated services. Amazon doesn’t own Black Friday, and that means ultimately it’s just another retailer shouting for attention – a massive retailer with a really loud voice. Black Friday is a sales event for the entire retail sector. With Prime Day as its own take on November sale period, it makes it much harder for rivals to muscle in on something that Amazon has effectively created from thin air.
The second and more important difference is that Black Friday doesn’t create new spending. It just moves it slightly. As we’ve discovered in recent years, the money people spend over the Black Friday period is money they were probably going to spend anyway: all Black Friday really does is concentrates pre-Christmas shopping in the last week of November.
Prime Day spending is different in two ways. First of all, people aren’t spending the money they’d already planned to spend on Christmas presents. And secondly, they’re buying mainly for themselves, not for others.
There’s another key benefit for Amazon. Its global bestsellers on Prime Day weren’t just Amazon devices; they were Amazon devices that connect to Amazon services. Fire TVs, Kindle Fires, Echo devices, Alexa remotes. Each one of them connecting to Amazon Prime, and each one of them requiring a Prime membership to buy in the first place. So when Black Friday rolls around, Amazon will have a whole bunch of Prime members for whom shopping on Prime is the default, and who might want to enhance their Amazon-powered smart homes with Amazon-branded Black Friday deals.
Prime Day means that, for Amazon, Christmas now comes twice a year.
Western Conference No. 2 seed the LA Clippers go toe-to-toe with the No. 7 seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs this week - and you don't have to miss a single shot. There's no question who the favorites are: the Clippers, who went 3-0 against the Mavs in the regular season, most recently in the NBA bubble earlier this summer. Who will prevail when it really counts? Follow our guide to watch the 2020 NBA playoffs online and get a Clippers vs Mavericks live stream wherever you are right now.
Clippers vs Mavericks live stream
Game 1 of the Clippers vs Mavericks series is on Monday, August 17 and the best-of-seven series will last until at least game 4 on Sunday, August 23. Games take place every other day in the NBA's Disney World bubble, with a potential 7 set for Saturday, August 29. Full details of TV coverage and streaming options are below - catch all the action wherever you are and save up to 50% on ExpressVPN with this deal.
Whatever happens, it should be an exciting series to watch. There's always points - a lot of points - when the Mavericks are on the parquet. They secured a spot in the playoffs with the third-best points per game average in the league, with their lower seeding largely the result of defensive frailties throughout the 2019/20 NBA season.
Despite boasting a pair of superstars in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers haven't proved quite as free-scoring as the Mavs - but they're far more adept at protecting their own basket and are statistically one of the best defensive units in the league.
The big matchup to watch on court will be reigning NBA Finals MVP Leonard against Dallas' young pretender, Luka Doncic. The Clippers should also welcome Montrezl Harrell back, the backup power forward having just returned to the bubble after a family bereavement.
Ready for tip-off? Read on as we explain how to watch the Clippers vs Mavericks online and get a quality NBA live stream from anywhere in the world.
How to watch NBA blackout games and stream basketball from abroad
You may not be able to watch the Clippers vs Mavericks series using your usual cable TV or streaming service, due to coverage blackout rules in the US or international geo-blocking restrictions.
When this is is the case, the simplest and most reliable solution is to use a VPN service, which masks your IP address - and therefore your location - when you visit a website. On top of that, it gives you the ability to reroute your device's internet connection through a server in a different country or state, thereby getting you access to coverage that might not otherwise be available - even though you probably pay for it.
Plus, you can try it out for free with a 30 day money-back guarantee, so if you're not sold on being able to watch sports from around the world you can always claim your cash back. There's a massive range of supported devices on offer, from Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, iPads, tablets etc. And if you subscribe to ExpressVPN now, you'll also get 49% off the usual price as well as 3-months extra FREE if you take out an annual plan (the best value option).
VPNs are good for more than watching NBA abroad, however. You're securing your online activity with a range of safety net features that keep your data private while also getting you into geo-blocked websites or Netflix regions. View Deal
Clippers vs Mavericks live stream: how to watch the NBA playoffs in the US
The Clippers vs Mavericks series is being shown nationally, with games on ESPN, TNT and ABC as per the schedule above. But in something of a rarity, regional sports networks are also getting a slice of the action, meaning local fans can also watch the NBA playoffs on Fox Sports Southwest (Dallas) and Fox Sports Prime Ticket (LA).
If you've got cable, that means it's easy, as in addition to those RSNs, you can stream the Clippers vs Mavericks online with ESPN, TNT and ABC - just log in with details of your TV provider for access.
If you don't have cable, then you'll need to look at accessing these channels another way - namely, via an over-the-top streaming service service. Of these, Sling TV looks like the best option for most people.
A Sling Orange package costs just $30 a month and gets you both TNT and ESPN, meaning you're covered for six out of the seven games - plus there's currently a FREE Sling TV trial up for grabs, which means you'll be able to watch a couple of Clippers vs Mavericks games without dropping a dime.
If you're not too happy about picking up a Sling TV subscription just for sports or are concerned about missing the game that's on ABC (which Sling doesn't offer), you can grab an NBA TV Pass for just $6.99 a month of $19.99 annually.
This will get you coverage of all nationally televised games for a great price - but it is subject to blackout restrictions for in-market games when they apply. However, you can get around this by grabbing a quality VPN if you live in the same area your favorite team is based and find yourself affected by this common problem.
Clippers vs Mavericks live stream: how to watch NBA playoff basketball in the UK
If you're in the UK, then Sky Sports is the home of everything NBA and is airing a game a night during the first round of the 2020 playoffs. The channel is operated by Sky, but you can also watch these channels with BT and Virgin Media TV packages.
For Clippers and Mavericks fans, your turn is game 3 on Friday, August 21/Saturday, August 22, depending on how you roll - it starts at 2am BST Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena.
However, if you're only going to be watching the NBA, there are more cost-effective options than signing up for the full commitment of a Sky contract.
A Now TV Sky Sports Pass offers all 11 Sky Sports channels to watch and can be cancelled at any time. As well as the NBA, there's also loads of football, cricket, golf, and F1 action, with pricing that starts at £9.99 for a day's use.
That's fine if you just want to watch what's on tonight, but we'd highly recommend thebetter value Monthly Pass for the majority of viewers. £33.99 gets you coverage of the rest of the season as well as early playoff games as well as the full month of content from other sports as well.
If you're really only interested in an NBA live stream, you could also consider an NBA League Pass, which is an all-in-one subscription that offers every game left in the season on a range of devices. An annual pass comes in at £42.99, which is far better value than the £24.99 monthly pass, but you can also grab a seven-day free trial if you're just looking to watch a Clippers vs Mavericks live steam.
If you're looking to watch Clippers vs Mavericks from abroad, you might be geo-blocked out of some of these viewing options. Using a reliable VPN can easily get around this so you can get back to the game.

How to watch the Clippers vs Mavericks: live stream the NBA playoffs in Canada
TSN is the place to turn for coverage of non-Raptors game NBA playoff basketball in Canada, and has confirmed it's airing three out of the first four games of the Clippers vs Mavericks series - only game 2 isn't currently listed for coverage.
With TSN widely available on cable, catching the NBA online shouldn't be difficult for Canadian viewers - simply enter the details of your TV provider into the network's website to watch.
However, if you don't subscribe through cable TV, you can also use TSN Direct, with a $19.99 monthly subscription cost.
You'll also be able to watch the Clippers vs Mavericks online with NBA League Pass, with only Raptors games being subject to blackouts. That's not a problem, however, as a VPN can easily swap your location so when the Raptors do step out onto the court, you can still live stream it all.
All times are the same as in the US as per the schedule above.

How to watch the Clippers vs Mavericks: live stream NBA playoffs in Australia
There are two options for Australian viewers wanting to tune in to the 2019/20 NBA regular season restart.
The first is through cable and, more specifically, Foxtel. It offers ESPN, which is the home of NBA basketball Down Under, but will require you to commit to a contract.
If that's not for you, then excellent value streaming service Kayo Sports also has you covered for all things ESPN and can be cancelled at any time - so we'd recommend looking into this option first.
Costing either $25 or$35 monthly, it's far cheaper than Foxtel and you can grab a 14-dayFREE TRIAL to test it out. Perhaps best of all, a single subscription can be used simultaneously across multiple devices, meaning you can share one with family or friends and pay less.
The first two Clippers vs Mavericks games are available on ESPN/Kayo and more may well follow when further scheduling is confirmed, but fans can grab an NBA League Pass for full coverage if they're worried about missing out.
LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks: round 1 schedule and TV channel details
Here's a quickfire look at this first round Clippers vs Mavs NBA playoff series.
Game 1: Monday, August 17 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT on ESPN
Game 2: Wednesday, August 19 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT on TNT
Game 3: Friday, August 21 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT on TNT
Game 4: Sunday, August 23 at 3.30pm ET / 12.30pm PT on ABC
Game 5: Tuesday, August 25 at TBD on TBD (if required)
Game 6: Thursday, August 27 at TBD on ESPN (if required)
Game 7: Saturday, August 29 at TBD on TNT (if required)
NBA League Pass: the best way to live stream the NBA online?
If you've been shopping for ways to pick up a Clippers vs Mavericks live stream online, then you've likely come across the NBA League Pass. As the league's official streaming service, it offers coverage of plenty of games and is available all around the world.
However, if you're in the US, you'll find a reduced-price subscription now available for $28.99. The caveat is that it doesn't include any nationally televised games. That means you'll still have to turn to ESPN, ABC, NBA TV or TNT.
The solution? Adding an NBA TV subscription to your account (available for $19.99) will give you access to full coverage, or you can bundle League Pass Premium with an NBA TV package for $59.98 for every game in all its commercial-free glory.
However, in the case of the playoffs, an NBA TV subscription alone will cover you for most games in the US, due to some clever scheduling by those in charge.
Note that NBA League Pass and NBA TV subscriptions are subject to blackout rules, meaning that if you live in the same area as your favorite team, you won't be able to watch them - unless you utilize the VPN workaround as explained above, of course.
NBA League Pass is an international service, so you'll be able to find different packages to suit international markets as well. In the UK, for example, a £42.99 annual fee gets you access to every remaining NBA game, without blackout restrictions or qualms over nationally televised broadcasts.
As ever, if you're out of the country you subscribed to NBA League Pass in, it's likely you can use a VPN to get around these restrictions - based on comprehensive testing, we rate ExpressVPN as the best and it offers a free trial so you can check it out, no strings attached.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G or Samsung Galaxy S20 Lite is said to feature a flat screen with a hole-punch design and three cameras on the back, like the Galaxy S20.
