  1. You will have to buy it from OnePlus's online store.
  2. You can't just put OS X onto any Windows laptop. OS X is designed for certain hardware that Apple verifies. You can't install OS X onto a Windows desktop without getting some errors or issues, that's why Hackintosh's (Mac but in a custom computer) will only work with certain motherboards (Some Gigabyte/ASUS/MSI motherboards won't work), video cards, etc. I remember WoodysGamerTag (YouTuber) saying on PKA (his weekly podcast) that he loves his MacBook Air (he still uses his custom PC for daily use). Why? It works. He finds that OS X doesn't slow down as fast as Windows. If you install a lot of programs/files on your Windows PC, you will find that it will slow down within a year or so. You also can't find a Windows laptop that will go 5+ years strong without reformatting the OS. Personally, I was going to go with a MacBook Pro for college just because of the resell value. In my area, if a Mac is kept in like-new condition it can go for at least or just under half it's original cost. But, had some financial issues and not going with a MacBook anymore.
  3. I guess it depends on where you live. I heard some areas of New York you can get a MacBook Pro from 2011/12 for $600 or less (could be mistaken about the price). Where I live that would go for at least $1000 CAD. I would do some research about the specs and see if it can still keep up with today's hardware (depending on what you will use it for).
  4. - Crappy flip phone - Crappy flip phone - Slider phone (remember the ones with the slide out keyboard? That was the kind of phone I had) - Blackberry Curve - iPhone 4 32GB - iPhone 5C 16GB - LG G3 32GB From the crappy flip phones to the slider phone, my parents paid for. The reset down I paid for myself (either on tab, similar to contracts, or bought straight out). I can't remember what brand/model of the flip phones or the slider phone, was 5-6 years ago.
  5. Harder to return as I could be buying it from the actual seller or from Amazon (depending on the product). I would buy from Amazon Canada if I find the laptop I plan on buying and if it's cheaper. NCIX has a store ~40 minutes away, Canada Computers ~5 minutes away, and Best Buy ~6 minutes away. I was mostly going to go with either of those 3 retailers as I can buy online and ship it to the closest store for free or go and buy it instore.. I'm also looking for a light or light-ish laptop and I don't plan on gaming on it. I have a gaming desktop for that and want to focus on schooling. EDIT: There isn't a ton of sellers that sell Clevo/Sage laptops. One seller that sells to Canada would cost me $1400 USD (8GB of RAM, no OS) with 3 year warranty, plus shipping, import fees (as I'm guessing its from US), and currency conversion fees. $1400 USD alone right now is $1780.17 CAD hence why I'm wanting to buy from a retailer that isn't just USD currency and is located in Canada. Plus, I don't need a custom laptop as I plan on doing 0% hard gaming on it as I already have a desktop that is able to do "hard" gaming (triple-A titles, max settings, etc).
  6. ASUS is out of the question as I can't find any laptop I like with the specs I need that is not over $1600 CAD (Canadian Dollars). Lenovo Y50 looks good, has the specs and price (~$1400 CAD) but is a fingerprint magnet. I'm looking to buy a laptop from the company itself, NCIX/Newegg/TigerDirect, Best Buy Canada, or Canada Computers.
  7. What are you trying to do on the laptop? Also, I may buy the Dell laptop, stress test it, then decide whether to keep it or return it (as I'm getting it from Best Buy). If what you say is true, what laptop should I get then? And, I don't plan on disassemble.
  8. The only thing I don't like about it is the materials. It used brushed metal finished that is a fingerprint magnet and the display bezels can get scratched easily. May consider it if the Dell laptop doesn't work out.
  9. I'm starting college in September and planning on buying a laptop for college this month. My college course is computer programming and I'm looking at the Dell Inspiron 15 700 Series (Model #: i7548-12857SLV). This laptop would cost me ~$1600 with a mouse, USB drive, and tax (13%). Is this a good laptop for computer programming? The course recommends a i7 but a i5 will do the job (hence why I'm asking since the CPU is i7-5500U which has 2 cores and 4 threads). I know I can get a gaming laptop but those are too heavy and will be traveling back and forth to college, so a light laptop is what I'm looking for. I believe the course recommends a i7 for virtual machines, so you can virtually run two 4-cores VM's. If this isn't a good laptop for my needs, which one would be? Keep in mind the laptop has to be sold or shipped to Canada and the currency should be CAD (nothing over $1500).
  10. I will say the LG G3 is super easy to root if you do it correctly. I almost bricked my LG G3 on my first attempt, although I wasn't following the right instructions. Second time worked like a charm. Once you have it rooted and installed a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP), make a backup of your stock ROM (the one that came with the LG G3)! That way you can flash it back to that ROM, unroot, and send it in for repairs. Or, if your custom ROM isn't good for you or it messes up, you have a back-up. I literally have a micro-SD card dedicated to my back-up (copied it to my computer as well). Just make sure you follow the correct guide for your model number (D855, D852, etc) so you don't screw up your phone. The only issue about custom ROM's with the LG G3 is that most ROM's don't take advantage of the camera, although most aren't designed for just the LG G3. I heard CM 12.1 doesn't take as good photos compared to the stock LG G3 ROM, but I think a good camera app will fix that.
  11. Mobile: 2GB. No unlimited options in my area. Home: ~500GB on average, have unlimited though.
  12. I'm not to sure as I no longer have a iDevice to check on the App Store (switched to Android). I would just search "video player" on the App Store, then go through each one until you find one that supports AC3 codec. And why not jailbreak? It's easier and very little risk. Plus then you can get free apps and tweaks that can make your experience better. This is turn considering when iOS 8 came out, there were so many issues and jailbreak tweak developers came out with fixes before Apple did.
  13. Besides the paid ones, which may or may not include support AC3 audio codec, there is no option besides jailbreaking and getting a video player through there. I would just upgrade to iOS 8.4 or iOS 8.3 and jailbreak it.
