    sonicvsb reacted to arnavvr in Cheap Laptop Selection   
    I was on the fence about buying the Toshiba Chromebook 2 and the HP Stream 13, but in the end I went for the Chromebook because windows is very resource heavy and on cheap machines it is laggy.

    Athlon 5350 with mobo cost about $100 US with decent onboard graphics. They are also SFF.

    sonicvsb reacted to LinusTech in Linus called adblock users scummy   
    I see this thread is still going. Read the first few pages.
     
    The word scummy was ill-chosen.
     
    But the simple fact ramains that if everyone blocked the ads in my content Linus Tech Tips wouldn't exist. Period.
     
    Those suggesting that I complain to Google... Do you think I can just call up Eric Schmidt and let him know I don't like the way they implement ads on YouTube? I laughed out loud.
     
    YouTube isn't perfect but it's my best shot at running a viable business here so I can pay my employees and feed my family, so that's what I use. Those of you who opt to consume the content without supporting it, fine you're not "scummy". Come up with your own word for it

    sonicvsb reacted to LinusTech in LG G3 Review and.... TWENTY-FIVE Phone Giveaway?!   
    NCIX: n/a
    Amazon: http://georiot.co/30oN
     
    The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
     


     
    Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
     
    Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
     
    Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
     
    One entry per household.
     
    The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!

    The G2 (non-mini) is great. You'll grow to like the extra real estate and to deal with the larger screen. 
     
    BUT- the LG G3 is coming out soon. I would wait until that comes out and pick up that.
