    MJSBLUES reacted to XDroidie626 in Surface Pro 4 vs Lenova Yoga 3   
    Lenovo, surface pro is good spec wise but its expensive, and you need a keyboard and the surface keyboard is like £100 which is stupid, I can get a Razer for that cash.
    Lenovo is also extremely reliable, they are a business provider first, well of course they are IBM backed, the only issue is that superphish thing, but I dunno if its still around, although a drive wipe fixes that.
    There keyboard are also some of the best laptop keyboard on the market, forget that butterfly key from apple, Lenovo has been doing keyboards better for longer.
    There track pads are also second to none, plus they do sometimes still include the old nubs in the middle of the keyboard, which I personally prefer to use over a trackpad as I can use my thumb to control my device.
    I just checked the entry Yoga 3 and it comes with 8GB Standard and a core i5, but you need to look at your other devices, while I would opt for the SSD in a heartbeat the GPU is questionable, what is the usage for the laptop, is it photoshop, video editing, light gaming? (It is a 940M after all, nothing amazing) I would opt for the GPU, is it web browsing, casual Youtube/Netflix consuming then the iGPU will do best.
     
    Either device is good, but to me the Surface has a specific few categories for audiences, Hipsters who just want to look cool, designers who actually need the touch screen/pen combo and are not stupid enough to get the iPad Pro, and students (Although a Surface 3 is more than enough for them, mostly.)

    It's not a very good CPU, but it shouldn't bottleneck in most games.

    Most likely yes. I'd still go through with it and then eventually down the road go for something beefier as soon as Intel gets cheaper.

    No problem! I saw another post saying that Dennis signature was very complex so that's definitely his signature lol. Did you go to the meet up?  Id love to hear your experience!

    1: Traveling to the destination (How many others were with you)

    four people (family, not fans just came to bring me)

    2: Time you reached

    a few minutes before 12

    3: About People in general that were there for the meetup , one's you became friends with (both forum & other members)

    I didn't meet anyone I recognized from the forum, but everyone was extremely friendly, and I had actually a lot of people compliment my blue and white 980. 

    4: Overall feel / Vibe / Weather

    It was pretty hectic, but I would attribute that to the sheer amount of people.

    5: What you were expecting & what you found surprising that you didn't expect

    Really the huge quantity of people was the most surprising thing, and office seems larger on camera. 

    6: experience meeting Linus in flesh / didn't get to meet him

    Meeting Linus was interesting. Taran was taping the tour I went on, so I should be in a few of the videos. Linus didn't make as many innuendos as I was expecting. (I had to nudge him into a few.) I would think that's because he has some small amount of tact in front of a group of people he doesn't know. Overall, a pretty cool guy and not as short as he may lead you to believe, although I'm not the tallest person either.

    7: Meeting other crew members / Office tour

    This was the best part. Every person working for Linus is amazing. Taran is a nice guy, Dennis is pretty cool. Somehow Dennis has the most complicated signature in the entire world. Both Nicks and Brandon were nice, although I just saw them passingly when the signed my graphics card. Jon was nice. I didn't talk to Colton really, but he seemed personable. I liked Edzel, even though he wrote #Dickbutt on my graphics card. Berkel came in during the office tour and told Taran that the semen thing he ordered came in, so that was pretty funny. But finally, we get to @Slick. I only got a chance to talk to him for a minute when he was signing my blue and white painted 980, but he was my favourite person I met. I'm not a talkative person, but Luke seems like the kind of guy I would like to just sit down and talk to for hours. Honestly, on camera I prefer Linus because he's a bigger personality and he goes for all the dirty jokes, but in real life I choose Luke evri tiem. Basically, Luke is just really freakin' awesome.

    8: How's the new office actually 

    The new office is smaller than it seems in videos. That being said, it seems to be big enough for everything you guys are doing right now. I think it's an awesome working environment in no small part due to Linus and all of the amazeballs people he employs.

    9. How do you feel overall?

    Overall, I think it was a pretty cool experience. And by cool, I mean really hot and sunny. It wasn't really a very intimate thing (other than the office tour) but that is really basically impossible to achieve with so many hundreds of people there. I was impressed by how friendly everyone is. (fans and employees) It was a little strange meeting someone in person who you have looked at for hundreds of hours on video, but never actually met. Really, what I'm trying to say is: Thanks to everyone who made the meetup happen, and who continue to make Linus Media Group and LTT a thing. Also, thanks for the free donuts. I had a great time!

    1) Came from Downtow, took 2 hours using buses and the sky train.
    2) Got there at like 12:15
    3) Most people were very friendly, some annoying kids but in general very cool people.
    4) the queues were fucking huge as soon as I arrived but the vibe was awesome. The lmg members were very friendly and most of them popped out of the office and talked with everyone (big shoutout to Jon, very friendly guy and interacted with people throughout the whole day!)
    5) The amount of people matched what I expected and I was surprised that it was decently organised, the food waa great and staff came out for pictures and autographs but I think they could have organised the garage sale differently with a quicker system.
    6) Felt very surreal to see all of LMG in real life but it was very cool meeting them all there wasn't too much time to talk to any of the them much since they were swamped with people queuing for photos and signatures especially Linus as you'd expect. I managed to get a mouse mat signed by all of LMG bar Linus' wife.
    7) They were all very friendly. I think Jon and Luke where the friendliest and Dennis was funny =).
    I left before the wan show started and never got to do a tour but oh well.

    sorry to disapoint you but I am from the origanal Jersey.
     
    Islanders travelled across the North Atlantic to participate in the Newfoundland fisheries in the late 16th century.In recognition for help given to him during his exile in Jersey in the 1640s, Chales II gave George Carteret, bailiff and governor, a large grant of land in the American colonies in between the Hudson and Delaware rivers which he promptly named New Jersey. It is now a state in the United States of America(as you know it). Source-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey

    You don't need an after market cooler for this. The stock cooler will be fine. Other than that, I think it's OK for that budget. Also, might be good to get a bigger PSU just in case.
