  1. I think that would be the best choice to make...
  2. The NZXT Sentry 3 doesn't have knobs, but you might want to consider it. https://www.nzxt.com/products/sentry-3
  3. I did some googling and unfortunately you can't . The iPhone 4 isn't physically compatible with iOS 8 (or above). However, if you buy individual songs and download the mp3s you are able to sync them with your phone (you need to pay money for each and every song you decide to listen to on your phone). The cheapest solution seems to be getting a cheap new phone (Apple also offers their music app for Android), and use that as a music player.
  4. Buying monitors like this is pretty risky; you might end up with a broken monitor with no warranty, or it might be perfectly fine with great specs. It all comes down to the device itself (Linus tested a Korean ultrawide that was very good except some features that were on the product page but not available in the monitor). If I were you I'd research more before buying.
  5. If you have a Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse connected to your phone, you could use an MHL adapter, to connect your phone to a monitor or TV. Example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-MHL-HDTV-Adapter/dp/B0051D3KQW However, if you don't, and have no way of connecting it, you could make your own (the one I found is for Galaxy S3, but it should be similar), so you could connect it to USB OTG and HDMI MHL at the same time. Here is a suggestion: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/accessories/diy-smart-dock-galaxy-s3-t2142357 I hope this'll help you!
  6. I agree with everyone else - nVidia GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 480 ...or you can just get a used GTX 1070
  7. I'd reccommend you'd play something where you don't have to use the mouse as much and use a trackpad. Like @manikyath said, airplane trays aren't that big, and also remember that the person in front of you can have the seat tilted backwards, and that makes it impossible to have a normal laptop fully on the tray. Try "casual" games like singleplayer Minecraft, or, if you want something more interesting, play Worms. If it turns out the tray is big enough to use a mouse, keep in mind that some airlines prohibit wireless devices in-flight.
  8. I am using Kubuntu 16.10 on my MacBook Pro Retina (2015), and it works really well (I have the rEFInd bootloader). Here's a guide (I'm not 100% sure if it will work, but give it a go): If you want 32-bit EFI, on a Windows computer, open rufus and change the partition scheme to "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer", and the file system to FAT32. Leave the other settings default. After Rufus finished installing the Linux ISO on the USB, drop this: https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/blob/master/boot/bootia32.efi file into the EFI/Boot directory on the USB. Make a second partition using Disk Utility on your Mac (remember to have it format it to FAT or FAT32). Disable SIP (if you have El Capitan or Sierra) - (go into recovery mode by restarting your computer and holding Command + R, open Terminal and type csrutil disable , then restart your computer. Install Kubuntu with a USB (no boot camp, just remember to click 64-bit when u download the ISO.) To boot from an EFI-capable USB, you have to hold the option key after you press the power button. Install Kubuntu normally. Once you get to the partitioning stage, click "Something else" to partition the disk manually. At the partitioning screen, select the partition you have created in step 1 to be mounted at / with ext4. Also, there is a drop-down at the bottom of the installer. Make sure it is set to /something/sda1 Finish installing Linux. Reboot your computer, holding option, and selecting Macintosh HD. Mount the hidden EFI partition, and delete the folder named "ubuntu" (it should be in the root directory of EFI, if it is not, go to EFI/boot, find "ubuntu", and delete it. We will use rEFInd and we are doing this to avoid duplicated boot options. Install rEFInd (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/). Reboot your computer. rEFInd should pop up by itself once you press the power button. Use the arrow keys to select "Linux", "Kubuntu", or "Ubuntu", then hit enter. Kubuntu should boot. If it does, success! You can now use full Linux on your mac, but I chose to tweak it a bit. I changed the scaling of the display to 2x since it is 2560 x 1200. I also set the "Laptop lid closed" action to "Turn screen off". Wifi and Bluetooth should work out-of-the-box, the same as multitouch on the trackpad. I had to adjust the scrolling (it was REALLY fast), but besides that everything was fine. (Optional) You can theme rEFInd to make it look nicer. Here is a list of some good themes: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/themes.html. NOTE: This is only the instructions I followed to install Linux on my computer. I believe the 32-bit EFI bootloader will allow booting on your computer, but I take no responsibility for any damage caused to it.
