  1. So tempted to get a second one to try crossfire at this price
  2. Updating it right now, 2014 i5 13" MBP. Seems all going good so far here, but you have to keep in mind that anything 4+ year older is probably internally considered obsolete by Apple and receive minimal updates and support. I wouldnt be suprised if things in the next year or so would stop working well for your machine
  3. I followed the live stream and I was already not much impressed by this new model, so further reviews wont change that opinion But unlike the raging internet, I honestly could not care less about the audio jack. The real practical downside of this change is that I cannot have headphones plugged in and the phone charging at the same time, i.e. when travelling with a battery bank. I am a very happy owner of a 6s model and I have no reason to even remotely consider this as possible upgrade, because the hardware improvements are marginal. I am glad that they are going with the Big Little approach but the lack of a new screen and better battery is the major let down for me.
  4. Nice deal, thanks. If you scroll down they have this "PC gaming event" on, so more nice deals might be available
  5. But hey, maybe you should apply with me for north Korea police like I was suggested to, probably just because you've had some education and common sense Let's maybe also pretend that the police enjoyed oppressing the freedom of this poor victim of the society.
  6. Probably because in a civilized world, you would expect people to follow rules. You shouldn't babysit your citizen. If on the sockets it says, and I quote the article "Electricity sockets on Overground trains are clearly marked with the words: “cleaners use only and not for public use” Then I don't understand what in hell this "artist" is complaining about. He should have been thrown for a night in a cellar and be forgotten, he's a waste of public time and resources, those police men could have been somewhere else needed.
  7. Having a blast so far. The nature of the game itself is competitive, so you'll always find a certain level of competitiveness. But it doesnt really punish you as hard as other games for being new or not the best, that's the key factor that can make it successful. It encourage players to help each other, because it's really the only way to win, you cant get carried. Also it's great to have matches rarely lasting more ~25min, whereas other games seems to drag you forever. I do not particularly enjoy watching Dota/LoL matches because of it, and as someone mentioned before, if I wanted to watch something really competitive I'd watch Starcraft. It's really fun to play and to watch, you can get into a team fight literally within the first 2min of the match. I have played it very casual just doing my daily quests in quick match, or going full in for hours when ranking up in hero league. The community seems to understand this philosophy and you can have a look here for example: http://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm Hope this helps
  8. I hope they will have more players. I tried the beta and followed some friends after release, not worth continue at the end. It was born dead, trying to appeal to an audience (hardcore WoW raiders) that was already extinct in terms of massive numbers.
  9. I would probably go as well for a larger SSD. Perhaps you can cheap out a bit like I did and get a cheaper disk, like a 1TB WD Blue and save for the SSD later. I managed to get last black friday sales a crucial MX100 512GB for 115£ Unless you really need the WD Black speed for work it doesn't seem worth to me. Good luck with it
