I was able to compare my Gnex to a S4 side-by-side over the weekend. Pulled up this website as well as a few others I am familiar with. The S4's screen allowed you to see 2-3 forum threads more at the bottom of the screen than then Gnex. With the gnex, you also couldn't quite as easily read the...

Very good info. I do a lot of work on spreadsheets and webpages in landscape mode with a BT KB/M and I was hoping upgrading to a 1080p screen would have allowed me to see more cells and more of a webpage at one time.

Thanks for the first hand experience. What have your opinions been regarding the G2 vs the Note 3? I think the Note 3 is a little too big for me to carry daily but I am still considering it

Def like the smart dock idea of the note series. Along with the pen and HDMI out, they could be very we'll customized for getting work done. I can't find any articles that address the screen real estate difference between 720p and 1080p in smart phones. On a computer it is super obvious how...

Can anyone comment on the difference in screen real estate between 720p and 1080p? If I look at the same webpage on 2 different phones, will I be able to see more of the page on the 1080p smartphone? Or does android scaling/zooming negate the real estate increase and instead just increase the...

I didnt even think about the USB capabilities of the Note 3. It would certainly be the biggest one to carry but might also be the easiest to work on. I agree that the Bionic would be a step back. The lapdock form factor looks perfect to me, but the hardware really leaves a lot to be desired. I...

So which phone for $500 or under would you guys pick? HTC One, Note 3 (used), LG G2, iPhone 5 (used), Bionic + Laptop Dock + extra cash (used), DNA (used), Any other 4G Verizon phone off-contract, new or used, hopefully 5"+ 1080p screen. Either way, the phone will most likely be used with a BT...

The 4s isn't 4G though, is it? And I think the S3 has a 720p screen and specs that are not a ton better than the Gnex if I remember right. The S4 certainly seems like a step up, and def worth another $100 over an S3 Thanks for the input though, and that would be a great price point to be...

I had an iPhone 4 before my Gnex and really liked it. The camera was awesome, great battery life and smooth UI for months on end. That said, I dont think i was impressed with the iphone 5 as much. I use a BT keyboard and mouse on my Gnex quite a bit and like the idea of a 5"+ 1080p screen vs...

Yeah the S4 looked like a good option used, I just wasnt sure if a new LG G2 would be well worth the ~$100 price difference. I really want to step up to a 1080p screen, so I have more or less dismissed the Note 2. I will have to look into the buttons on the back thing, I hadn't noticed that...

As the title states, I'm looking to upgrade from a Gnex finally. I'm going to be buying the phone off-contract. I will be keeping the phone for 1-2 years most likely. I'm fine with any screen size, timely updates aren't an issue, a good camera is a plus (but Ive survived with the terrible Gnex...

Some of my favorite RTS games of all time: Age of Empires II (and the HD Steam remake) SupCom 1, FA and 2 Warcraft 3 Rise of Nations Company of Heroes (I haven't had a chance to play #2 yet) SC 2 Rome and Rome II

Last time it BSOD, it went through the memory dump process and then it was shut down. When I restarted it I got a "DQS training failed on last boot" error. The DQS training would be related to my RAM, but I looked back and all the sticks of RAM I'm using tested OK. I am going to re-test them and...

I haven't run MemTest recently, although I'm pretty sure I ran it a month or two ago when the problems first started popping up. I do not have a PSU tester, and the PSU is probably about 2 years old now. I will definitely looking more into that sticky, I skimmed it but might have been a little...

TL;DR - Would you: -Spend money to find and fix the issue (most likely new AM3 motherboard) or -Upgrade to a new motherboard/proc in the $2-300 range hoping this fixes the issue (Most likely 3350p or similar) My current desktop has been having issues, some of the symptoms are as follows...
