Animated GIF capabilities on the screen would be great. Other than that, how fast it can get dirty would turn me away from it.

Aw I didn't get an email, I feel left out, should I email him?

Great videos, would've definitely helped on my first build.

Speaking as a graduate of this major. Unless you're going to do be doing large machine learning/data mining projects, large hardware simulation projects, or running crawlers/hadoop off the laptop, you can do with lower than i5 without any problems. (I'm still using a core 2 duo centrino from 2009, replaced with dual ssd, still works great).

definitely in for one

SPONSOR MESSAGE (please read)

HTC has been making massive waves with their HTC One Android smartphone, and while unfortunately we are not able to bring you any HTC Ones in this giveaway, the available options are absolutely rockin'. My wife has been using a DROID DNA for quite a while now, and with its S4 Pro processor and gorgeous 1080p screen it is a head-turner in spite of, or perhaps BECAUSE of the fact that most people don't recognize exactly what phone it is, particularly here in Canada.
 
TLDR: HUGE thanks to HTC for making this giveaway possible. You guys freakin' rock and the support you're showing for our brand new community is overwhelming!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PHONE GIVEAWAY RULES & REGULATIONS 
 
Guys, this is one of the biggest giveaways we've ever done. HTC is making it all possible by providing us with not one, not two, not three, not four... Oh wait actually four.
 

 
FOUR phones to give away!! ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.....
 
Not only that, but you get to PICK your prize! Read on for more details.
 
This is a Linus Tech Tips giveaway, so I'm keeping it "unofficial" and opening it up to the world. With that said HTC is going to cover helping me ship TWO of the phone globally, while the other two will only be shipped to the USA only. We will draw four winners and in a case where more than 2 winners are outside of the USA will we re-draw.
 
Now for the really cool part. You actually get to PICK the phone you want from the list of available phones! With that said, the phones available in the different regions vary a little bit.
 
 
Prizes: 4 HTC smartphones with a "pick your prize" approach!
 
USA winners can pick between the following: 
 
DROID DNA
HTC 8X
HTC One S
HTC EVO 4G LTE
HTC One X+
 
International winners can pick between the following:
 
HTC One X+
HTC 8X
HTC 8S
