I sense the weekend will be a symphony of lawn mowers

Yah all good questions and good responses. Suspend is great for this handheld, but as @PlasticExistence@beehaw.org mentions linux isn't great at suspend out of the box and having a very configurable embedded system like the steamdeck lumps it in this basket.
I got one of amazon.com.au in June. The price was pretty much the same as the direct conversion from USD, and it got delivered the next day. Obv a 3rd party seller but have been super happy with the purchase.
hows your balance, need some topup action?
I do like me a Wendy's burger
I think a lot of the 'customer owned' banks are usually good, they can be regional based as well. IE for Newcastle area Greater Bank and Newcastle Permanent Buildng Society both have lots of branches and good customer support for local. I used to like StGeorge until Westpac took them over, went downhill after that
When you say outright you have, for example 450k for a 500k apartment? If that is the case then you just need to get a mortgage for the difference and be done with it. With that much of a deposit I didn't think they would see it as much of a risk, but who knows. A mortgage will be much lower interest than a personal loan. Also have you factored in all of the extras... legals, stamp duty, etc etc.
