I just bought an MSi GP60 (i7 4700) for work (2D, 3D cad GIS) as my Asus G53 (i7 740) was starting to give me blue screens at least twice a day. I don't game but I just got the new 'puter set up and it handles massive high res airphotos well, Large 3D surface files are an ease. Gotta say WIN8 is a pain.

X2 on the GTX and lots of ram, my MSi has a GT740 and I wish I had gotten better.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Finally someone is agreeing with me :D

At least 8GB of RAM and at least a GPU from the gtx series, and not the GT series. Gt750m in sli is probably the only GT GPU I can recommend :)
[HTC Incredible S] MrToastbrot:
I hate Steam. I just bought 75CHF paysafecard to buy some Steam Sale Games. And there are soo much I want to buy...
[HTC Incredible S] DuffyBank:
I'm not sure what he can get in a GTX at that price point. I think MSi had an i5 machine. I know the gt740 is a big step up from the gtx460 that was in my old machine, but yeah, something like a gtx 765 and I'd be humming.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Gtx760m is sufficient.

Anything here which would be up to your standards for an okay price?

Edit: Also this Laptop is for schoolwork. Will the Asus F550CC be able to play League of Legends and the occasional game. (I don't play brand new games). Will this suffice? I'm keen to buy it haha
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
I just realized that 1k aus dollars wasn't as much as I expected it to be. I think you're stuck with a GT720m (or if you're lucky and find something with a GT740m). I thought 1k aus dollars was about 8-9k SEK, it wasn't.

But at least try to find something with 8GB of RAM :(
[HTC Incredible S] DuffyBank:
That HP Envoy at the top of the page looks similar to the MSi I got earlier this week.

As always...... a few dollars more.........just what you want.

I hadn't looked before a week and 1/2 ago, but is there a trend to 14.1" screens away from 15.6"? Most times I have an external monitor o it isn't an issue but some of my field work I leave the external behind and 14.1" won't cut it any more for GIS work.

That Asus 550 has a 3rd gen i7 and GT720, seems old hat.

Lol well my username is easy enough to remember. It was my former school ID :p not anymore though, switch school boards and everything is new

Poop Winter break and I'm stuck with 4 assignments :( Why couldn't teachers just give us work during school days and let us ACTUALLY break during holidays..... It's not even a break anymore... It's just 2 full weeks to finish assignments....

All you lucky university students finished exams... lucky you...

[MENTION=3153404]Splux[/MENTION] : I keep switching ROM's and kernels on my Nexus 5, trying to figure out what I like best. I tried Slimkat beta1.9 but it had a phablet UI :p Plus I think the WiFi was broken because it never turned on :/ But whatever, a lot of the ROMs on Nexus 5 are still missing quite a number of features. But Omni with Faux kernel rocks a lot. OpenDelta is pretty cool :D You have any recommendations? :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
LOL

Finished school--> no homework or anything :D Till uni next year :/ You only have 2 weeks off? We have like a month+ off in Melbourne at most schools

I'm on slimkat with elementalx kernel :)

Not planning on changing until paranoid is released, flashing lots of ROMs was funnier on the incs... Damn, I think I'm growing up and only flash when there's something new and exciting - if it doesn't change a lot I won't flash it, it seems like x)
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:

Although you guys aren't on stock anymore, is the camera/battery life that bad? Reviewers seem to be Samsung fanboys, so I can't take their word for it xD
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
(Crap, it got compressed when I uploaded it and maybe I should have picked a better place to take a photo... The lighting in here sucks :D)

My shower, toilet view. Picture taken with the nexus 5 and shaky hands.

You decide :D

And about battery, I get between 1d-2d of battery with between 3-4h screen on time or something like that, can take a screenshot next time I'm
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I agree. I feel like I have, in a way out grown the excitement and stuff

Maybe cause I know what's in everything, how it all works. I remember the first night I had my vivo rooted and on virtuous affinity, checking it by the mi ute to see how much battery the virtuous daemon had saved

Things back then when I was a new user felt magic. Now, nothing is :(

I'm the same, not planning in moving from slim kat until AOSPA

Happy on slim+ Franco here

Noice! Don't read reviews from any site but anandtech imo

Can is decent in my play at the Telstra store. One, sgs4, xperia z etc are better imo but nothing wrong with nexus 5
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
hehehe nice you join the Nexus 5 family.

For battery, I can't really say. I mean it's much better than the IncS :D I can generally get 2 days or so with moderate on screen time and games.

Camera isn't that bad at all. I think there's auto-focus now although you can't trust it most of the time. Sometimes it will focus and it'll completely crap out so you'll just have to focus yourself (press screen anywhere)

Rooting is a lot easier :D although setting up the USB drivers were just complete hell. In fact, that was the LONGEST part of the rooting (and I got mine rooted in about 20 minutes) which goes to say how fast and easy rooting a Nexus can get :D (no i did not use a toolkit). Most of the ROMs are still bare on features because well, 4.4.2 is very new. I decided to give Omni a go. I'm receiving system updates every day :D (opendelta is awesome, so much better than downloading and flashing a new ROM everyday)

There's too much to do on a Nexus :D
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
I guess you've got Windows 8? :D

I spent 30 minutes on finding working USB drivers, can't even remember which driver I ended up with... but, it works now at least :P

And since I turned 20 19 days ago, I'm allowed to by alcoholic beverages with 3,5+% alcohol now. Today I spent 120SEK (roughly 18USD) to buy 4 beers. Christmas beer <3 Mikkeller Santa's little helper :D
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Nah Windows 7. USB drivers would never install properly for some weird reason :/ Lucky thing ADB was already set up on the Incredible S. Just add two lines to a file in the SDK, rebooted, everything seemed to work after. I've heard about it but I can't believe it wasn't the first thing I tried :/ Ah well, everything is nice and sweet now on the Nexus 5 :D

Lol your booze. Is this the time to go crazy and get drunk? :D

[MENTION=4379011]poondog[/MENTION] : How would I know what my Nexus 5 CPU frequencies are? Settings>Performance always reverts back to stock clocks as soon as I press back (so 2.26ghz) and when i try using NoFrills, I set it to max 2ghz but in settings it still shows up as 2.26ghz? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Uhm, I think most kernels have some weird bug... like when you set min frequency it'll show up as default - but if you check what frequencies are being used, and you set a value under stock, it'll show that it has in fact used the lower frequencies even though it shows up as stock value. Either it's in the kernel, in all ROMs I've tried so far or something wrong with all the apps.

And no, not gonna get drunk. Only been like 4 weeks since I went through surgery, so I'll only have at most one today and one or two tomorrow :) and those things are 9.1% alcohol, so you don't need so many to get drunk x)
[HTC Incredible S] james1196:
On that note, I'm going to Holland for a holiday in 4 days. (F**k yeah) apparently the drinking age is 16. What's some good Dutch/Germain beer to try?
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
lel imho SGS4 is trash, its HEAVILY overpriced and the features you get in it is unecessary xD

I was gonna get the One, but the camera was a major turn off for me, as I use my camera quite a lot, but nonetheless, that phone is GOLD!

I guess the reason I went for the Nexus 5 was because of the updates/development. I am not planning on rooting anytime soon, and if I do, the development for the Nexus 5 is AMAZING (maybe even as good as the vivo ;) /sarcasm). Plus, updates roll out almost instantly for Nexus devices (As we already know), and unless this device is abandoned like the Galaxy Nexus, we will get official updates from Google till hopefully like (M or N Update), making development SO much easier.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
The only beers I know the origin of is American, Belgian, Norwegian or Danish... I mostly try new stuff out at a pub where one of the bartenders is really good at recommending new stuff :D

But, try some Mikkeller (Danish company, brewed in Belgium), try some Trappist beer. It's brewed in Belgium, with monks watching over the process. They've got a special taste, not really my thing but I've got a friend who loves them.

Unfortunately, I mostly drink different ales nowadays... seems like they're mainly from other places than Germany :p use Google, or find someone here on the forums who is from Holland :P gonna ask a "friend" (= someone I have as friend on steam and have been talking to for like 2-3 years or so) if he know of any good beers to try c:
[HTC Incredible S] james1196:
I'll have to get in quick. I read the law may change beginning in January. Have to drink in the few days prior :P
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
I seriously doubt ALL of them have this bug. I mean I seriously doubt developers would let this go unnoticed. I wanna down clock a bit to save some battery :/

BTW, what's so good about Slimkat?? There's like next to 0 features and its in phablet mode default isn't it? I had beta1.9 and WiFi seemed to be a little busted up although I think using a different kernel might have solved that. Either way, gotta love Omni and OpenDelta. Daily System Updates :D and it only gets the files that's actually needed too :D That is one sweet feature. Plus its got a decent set of customization there. Enough for now at least :)

Also what's Team Gummy? Just seen it pop up today and the description is very vague.... From its description it seems like another Rastakat with a few things here and there :/ In fact, that feels like a lot of ROMs....
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
It is the powerhal/mpdecision binary messing with your freqs. Here is how input boost aka "project butter" works on new quad core snapdragons

Input event is registered (you may have touched the screen) and the powerhal will write the min freq to be like 1+GHz (not sure what it is on N5, One is 1GHz and so is N4/N7) and max to 2.26

You stop touching the screen, and the powerhal writes 300MHz to min, 2.26 max. This is how the input boost works: by writing the min and max freqs every time there is an input event. So, powerHAL is messing with your min and max freqs so you cannot properly "set" anything other than stock. This is why kernels like elemental are unable to change the min freq and it stays at 300MHz (where it should be anyway)

Sometimes, trickster may tell you that your min freq is over 1GHz which would be your boost freq. There should be 3 main freqs used by the kernel: min, boost and max. On N7, they show as 384, 1026, 1512MHz

Setting max freq when there are other freqs is done in another way by the kernel (OC)

To change freqs, you'll need a kernel with a replacement for powerHAL and mpdec, one that has its own hotplug eg. bricked, franco, faux, myfluxi etc. On the One, the way I underclocked without removing Qcom/HTC's boost daemons was to actually remove the higher freqs in the acpuclock table of the kernel (where it reads clocks)

Nothing is "wrong" it is just a bit misleading with the readings :P See above

SGS4 is rubbish but the camera is decent. The processor is stupid, 1.9GHz is too much in a snapdragon 600 phone it overheats way too often and will throttle like hell

Nexus phone real development= AOKP, CM, PA, maybe slim

Some of the other ROMs are kang bangs, no knowledge of writing any code (like me) bringing in features from other roms.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
SLIM kat is called SLIM for a reason :D Its just the dpi being set low (same on flo and grouper too) I changed it in build.prop

I used Omni and wifi was broken so I gave up
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Lol thanks for the explanation but I don't think any of the kernels have that YET. I'm on Faux right now and the frequency stays at 2.26ghz and stays there even if I change it. It happened with Trinity kernel too. Haven't tried Franco yet.

Omni on Hammerhead: everything pretty much works. Torch was broken until today's nightly (or rather OTA). It's very simple but it still has a ton of features :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
How do you break things on a AOSP ROM, that's what I wanna know. EVerything is basically provided working in the AOSP google sauce

Try Franco, I am on it for flo. I don't touch faux lol, trinity is always nice too

edit: wqait kernel have what yet?
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
The thing I am most looking forward to is official support from CM and PA, and unlike the vivo, the hammerhead would be officially supported for more cm builds to come, not just the current build xD

Not saying szeszo's work is bad in any way, but I feel there should be more than one person working on development, and I think that szeszo needs his life given back to him xD
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Why no Omni :( Omni is awesome :)

I'm really looking forward to PA though. But the wait is kind of ridiculous -_- On Google+ it's like, "O hey we've merged 4.4.2 into our sources, expect a build soon" and everything blows up. But weeks later, still nothing.... I'm hoping PA will be ready with at least HALO and some PA preferences like per app dpi or something. A number of ROMs already have these :/ Maybe PA could implement ActiveDisplay :) Tried it on Omni and it's quite nice. Screen turns on when you get something :) You got a bunch of things to tweak in Omni too.

Keep in mind though, that a lot of ROM's on Hammerhead might as well be copies of each other if it weren't for the few SLIGHT differences. There's also very few features because well, it's early still. Gotta wait for it to blowup :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I think we are all waiting patiently for PA to drop. The hype is really building up from their announcements and postponing of builds haha

But really, ROM feature development =/= getting a non supported device a CM build. The two are completely opposite

If u meant Rom future development, then:

True, but if say our device got an official Update to JB/KK from HTC, Development would be SO much easier because developers would have a base to implement things onto. But our device had stopped getting updates since ICS, and it was up to our developers to get a Kernel 3/3.4. Luckily we had somebody as dedicated as szeszo to develop for us, but if we had someone who just gave up, then we would be stuck on Sense ICS ;)

All I am saying is that it is easier if we get Official support, and roms would roll out quicker and smoother :)

If you meant feature development:

You're stupid.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
HTC dev released the 3.0.16 kernel, we patched it up to 3.0.101 and added ck patches (well I did :D)

I reckon, even if we had an official jb sense base the development would have slowed down anyway. All the real sense devs have moved on

And I meant, for example PA on Nexus is all about "feature" development. You'd be waiting for an update and it would include a new feature, for example the new immersive mode toggle.

Here, on CM/AOSP its not about "feature" development but more about bug fixes and working on getting a fine device tree, to work as well as the nexus devices

So I am not stupid, you are :D
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Immersive mode toggle? That's on practically every ROM. :D

I love the on screen keys but when I play a game like SOnic Dash I keep opening up Google Now and dying or losing all my coins :p so I have to use Immersive mode. It's pretty handy u know :D
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Thats what I am saying, whoever developed it first is the true original dev.. everyone else kangs.
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
k. U r saying that sense jb dev would have slowed down due to devs moving on, but that's not my point. My point is that development would be EASIER had htc given us a base. szeszo would not have needed to get everything to be compatible with our hardware first, and therefore, he could have used that time finetuning the rom itself.

(lol how did this heated discussion even start xD)

Press "thanks" if I helped you out!
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Heated discussion started when you started being wrong :P

Remember the old AOSP 3.0.y kernel saga.. even if we had a 3.4.y base from HTC it would have taken a while to get a working 3.4.y AOSP kernel because of the issues with ramdisk

lol

Drink some IPA's, you they're usually 8-12% and you'll get wasted quickly :D

Although, if you set min to 245MHz, it'll go down to 245MHz - just that trickster will still show min frequency as 1GHz (+/- don't remember exactly) :D

So, everything works except that trickster can't read the correct min values (which is probably because it got overwritten when you touched the screen to apply it :P) and I just didn't know if it was the kernel or whatever that screwed it over.
