    At your service.
  3. First potential deal breaker with the G4 has been solved. The default DPI setting meant everything looked too large on the screen despite the size and resolution. I was seeing way less on the screen than I could on the iPhone.

    A quick command through an adb terminal was all that was needed to adjust. Phew.
  4. looking for a laptop/notebook I mainly wanna go online with and write, maybe watch a dvd, too. it shouldn't be too chunky either. looking at the offers at my local store, they're mostly selling acers, but I'm not a huge fan of those. anyone got any tips?
  5. One month ago I went over the same thing: looking for a new laptop, doing my research. I still have a Dell laptop which is more than 8 years old and runs great. It only needs a good cooling pad.
    This time I looked for the specifications more than the brand. I got a HP, new, 1 TB hard drive, 8 GB RAM for only $300 (others with less capacity were almost double that).
  6. Originally posted by germcevoy:iPhone experiment over. I lasted longer than I thought but it was obvious early on that it wasn't going to last. iOS 9 is buggy and it doesn't really multi-task. I've sold it onto a mate while it's still in good condition and I've ordered an LG G4. I haven't used a non stock Android device since the HTC Hero so I'm a little wary but I should get it how I like it with launchers or custom ROMS if needs be.

    What happened to the OnePlus Two plan?

    To expand more on my reply, I read from a guy working at IT that if you take proper care of your laptop, brand doesn't make much difference and you have to look for specifications.
    I've had very good experiences with Dell and terrible experiences with Toshiba, if that helps.
  8. I'd agreed to sell the iPhone to a friend and couldn't get a Oneplus 2 invite in time. The first 24 hours with the G4 have been grand though. Have managed to get it looking like a Nexus without the need for a custom ROM.

    I haven't had a laptop in YEARS. my last one melted at the back, because it got so hot (I'm not kiddin'). I used to game a lot back then, so I switched to a tower, because obviously, your regular laptop isn't built for gaming (didn't have the money for something like alienware back then). now I'd like to carry a laptop around on the train, because I'm commuting a lot... or use it in bed on my days off
  10. I found out that using a $30 cooling pad really improves your laptop performance and lasts more.
    Most of the laptops break because of heating problems (or battery problems).

    You should've said. I've been rolling in OnePlus Two invites for a little while now. Glad the G4 is working out for you nonetheless. One of the few high end phones of this year that I've not owned.

    The Oneplus 2 will be the replacement should the G4 go bad.
