The speaker was awesome but tbh the price difference for the mini 2 was too much to resist.
I took the Air 2 back and got a Mini 2 with 32gb and have put the difference towards an iPhone 6.
Yeah the mini2 is pretty awesome and the size is perfect, win win for you by the sounds ....I just prefer that slightly bigger screen for when im watching netflix, playing pinball arcade. Plus the air still fits nicely into the icade..
Now the results seem to have changed. Also there is no option to say no to a suggestion. I have to part delete the word and keep retyping until it lets it pass.
Yeah...it's definitely got far worse recently for sure joe!
For gods sake, its a carton box - not the holy grail!
I think I have the worst luck with Apple products on earth!
Front microphone is screwed on the Mini 2 I bought. No choice but to make my way to Leeds and get a replacement.
Looking back at my purchase history for the last 3 years, every Apple product (with some form of display) that I have bought has had a problem with it apart from the iPad Air 2 I replaced the Mini 2 with the other day
Seems a debatable gain to me. Buy a high end laptop for premium $$$ which already has a high spec GPU, then buy a large add-on box for $$$ while reducing its portability at the same time, and even more $$$ on another GPU which would need to be even higher end to make it worth having, but within reason because it has capped power requirements.

It was always pot luck in the past, but its now on their website
Edit: I lie, its 5 years in Scotland / 6 in england with the burdoon of proof on buyer, so still pot luck.
Yeah, that is very cool.
So, I tested using Skype and my mate said it sounded ok, albeit a little echoey.
It is just voice and camera recordings... they are super quiet and a bit muffled. It may be that the Mini just doesn't have a very good top mic?
The mic in the back works fine for filming others.. What say you Mark?

375w is pretty good but agreed on your other points.
Better off buying a mini-itx pc imo.

It'd work well with a cool running ultraportable which you can dock at home. But yeah as you say, that Alienware's already a hot and chunky gaming laptop and paying another £600 total for a tethered GPU upgrade kills any advantage really.
Well, that's a Titan Z, I doubt it would be a good idea to be running it at maximum capacity long-term. It's hard to tell how big the box is from the discreetly placement in the pic, but I wonder it size will be more of a problem over power. The full-size GPUs are monolithic.

The thought had entered my mind about the leave-at-home box, but you may as well spend the brass on a desktop, plus only using it a percentage of the time reduces your gain vs (almost the cost of the laptop itself) investment.
To be honest a gamers laptop has got to be better than swapping 500w GPUs over all the time to stay a few months ahead of the next **** game. Then spending all your time tweaking and testing FPS. That's proper bell end gaming.
Turns out at some point in the past I'd managed to (permanently without specialised equipment) wipe the IMEI from my Galaxy Nexus. Generic IMEI not an issue on EE, but an issue on various other networks. Rather than sell it and make all of £20 back, I've completely reflashed it - latest filesystem (F2FS), stripped Android (Shiny 4.4.4 with all non-essential Google Apps removed), and repurposed it as an offline GPS/Geocaching device.
The lag I was getting should be gone. It's nowhere as quick as the Nexus 5 but with wireless and mobile radios disabled the battery life is ridiculous.
Generic IMEI is a common problem with the S3 and the GNex - even without custom ROMs. Samsung foolishly stuck the IMEI in NVRAM
If I'd known yours was for sale I'd likely have sent PMz. I'm waiting for the L OTA update, which I'm hoping will arrive a similar time to my extended battery. I'm genuinely happy with stock kitkat though. It's rooted so I can load AdAway, and the only thing I ever wanted a custom ROM for in the past (rotation lock for Youtube) is no longer required (Youtube has fullscreen on a button, now). Just the battery is a problem.
