    Your best bet is to go with used if you're looking for value.
    As for the asking price, who knows. Check your local listings. Unless someone here is from the same area you are, the prices you'll get are basically meaningless.

    I highly doubt it's possible since the oldest signed IPSW is iOS 12.1.1.

    Yes and No.
    If a program/game does not support touch, Windows will translate your touch control as the left mouse click (and press and hold as right-click).
     
    So technically, yes, games will work with the touch screen.
    But the issue comes to, how do you select a group of unit without dragging the map, or the reverse (depending on the listed game on how they work), if you can't drag the map, how do you move your view on the map to go to an area. And you'll have similar problems.
     
    That said, some games that are more board based games will work (example: Ticket To Ride), and so those with touch support (Civilization 5 and 6 for example has native touch screen support).
     
     
    They are also programs, that can give you touch control like phone games, on the screen, but this app needs to support the game, and well, the experience is far from great... remember that the Surface Pro is on the heavy side, so it will be difficult to hold for more than a couple of minutes. Although you could use the kick-stand as a holder where you slide your finger under it. Not designed for that, but works... not great though.

    Should be, you can use NVENC to encode on the GPU and that'll probs be easier on your system, the 970 is still pretty darn powerful.

    The 2500K is one of the easiest chips to deal with. The one I had back in 2014 did 5GHz on a high end air cooler at 1.4v, that's as high as you should go. 
     
    Overclocking with multipliers is easy peasy. 
     
    1. Up the multiplier
    2. Boot OS
    2a. if fail -> Add 0.125v and retry
    2b. if pass -> stress test. If fail, see 2a.
     
    Repeat until your peak temperatures are going to the mid 80s or your voltage reaches 1.4.

    Well to start off its weighted under 100g which is nice.
    Solid eargonomic for palm grip
    A 3310 sensor, a very good solid sensor with many mice preforming around the same
    Doesn't look like it has sensor rattle so you should be good
     
    TL:DR good mice for palm and fingertip or hybrid grip

    The logitech mice you listed and the deathadder both have really light switches. I'm gonna assume you're planning on playing a MOBA. My choice would be between a G PRO and Deathadder.

    Don't know if it's possible or not. How about a virtual tour of the LMG office for those who owns a VR headset. Those who don't, can also view it like Google street view? Maybe make the virtual office tour also into a game or something.

    No bother, that might be a fun idea if there's anything that could be considered interesting enough to vlog about. Maybe behind-the-scenes work?
     
    That said, this topic in particular is about their recruitment video, so you might not get the right sets of eyeballs for it if that makes sense.

    Doc.Tor reacted to corrado33 in Is Water Cooling Worth It?   
    Sure, but air coolers are MUCH more simple. Nothing invisible can break. Sure, the fan can break, but usually the mobo will throw up a warning for that. In a water cooling setup, you have the fans on the rad, the pump, and all the plumbing to worry about. Is the plumbing clogged up? Should you take it off and check? Not to mention that if you do manage to spring a leak you can quite possibly ruin components on your board.
     
    Air cooling all the way, especially for the OPs purpose. 
     
    That WOULD make an interesting video though. What's a better value... lower end CPU with large overclock and watercooling, or higher end CPU to start with?

    It is totally worth it if you have the time, money and DESIRE to make an awesome watercooled PC.
    It is not worth it if you are not interested in doing so and don't have plans of overclocking it (much).
     
    EDIT: totally forgot about AIO water cooler kits. These can be very effective, but as someone above me said, water cooling adds more points of failure. A good air cooler like the noctua can keep up with a cheaper water cooler, and if the fan dies, your cpu wont instantly overheat.
