    Good computer for the price that is I looked at it some months ago when I was about to renew my old laptop, I went for another model in the end (HP SleekBook 15-b102SS).

    Windows 8 is a mess for the first 2 months. You will hate it. THen you will love it.
  2. LG Glad 8.3Google Play edition could well be the ultimate tablet for me. I'll wait a bit to see if a Nexus 8 happens but the LG looks great.
  3. LG is easily my least favorite brand for all kind of technologies (except screens and monitors).
  4. Well the Nexus 4/5 and their G2 are good phones.

  5. If it's a Nexus device then it rarely matter who makes it. Nice metal body and a great screen running stock Android. It's perfect.
  6. I noticed Tesco got some of those in. The specs look fantastic so I'll try it when I'm working tonight to see how good it actually is.

    Did you get to see if it has wi-fi, silly question I know but I had to check if you got to see it ?
  8. Gerard, did you try the ART runtime on your Nexus 7? It improves the speed quite a bit. However not all apps are compatible. For example Whatsapp didnt work until Kitkat 4.4.2.
  9. I'm on 4.4.2 on both devices and things are mostly OK. Still using Nova launcher. MX player has stopped working though which is an absolute pain. I wasn't aware that ART needed manually enabled but I have done so now and will report back.
  10. My bank app doesn't run on ART either. I shall have to revert back.
  11. MX is a pain indeed, I tried some others for the same reason. But none are so snappy as MX :S

    VLC has the same problem as on the PC, ugly and subpar performance. BSplayer is okish but not super snappy like MX. But it has subtitle searcher...

    Hope MX will be updated soon!

    My Chrome is crashing more often nowadays though. Two or three times a day..
  12. Agreed about MX being better than VLC. Hopefully an update on the way. Still love the Nexus 7. Probably going to be New Year before I get a Nexus 5. I want to sell the Nexus 4 first to keep the costs down.
