2300 on a laptop good lord. Enjoy though Don't use a PC at all. Don't even have one. I spent a little more on my last one and I used it for four years. I'd rather spend a bit more and have it for a while than having to keep replacing them every 2 years. And when you do decide to get rid of it, it will still have value. |

I'm very disappointed that Samsung decided to continue using plastic for there phones. Might have to switch to HTC or Google for my next phone. Shit maybe even Sony  |

My cousins are 4 and 6. Whenever I get tired of running around, playing games and watching them, I give them my iPad and let them play games or browse YouTube. They are entertained, quiet, enjoying it and are pretty good. Their parents do the same but I think the time they are allowed to spend on it is pretty limited.

Honestly whichever comes first to AT&T (One, Xperia ZL or S3) is probably what I'm getting. I'm impatient and want to use my upgrade now. Sent from my Atrix using ProBoards |

Not sure how I feel about Android tablets (and I'm an Android guy). The app selection on the iPad (apps designed for tablets) is incredible. Sent from my Atrix using ProBoards |

the app selection is why I want to stay with apple. the only reason. Android really need to step it up...The google play store is so disorganized.

As for google play, I think the app selection is pretty good. Is it as big as the App Store? No but more apps isn't a big enough reason to switch to boring iOS

Sent from my Atrix using ProBoards After looking into all the phones, I feel like the One is the best phone out of the bunch The rumors of the Nexus 5 and Motorola X line has got me excited though. I like HTC. They are probably the best in terms of build quality and hardware but my biggest problem with them is Sense. It is nice and all but very bloated causing updates to take a long time if they ever do come (see Inspire/Desire HD/etc). Given how a lot of the newer AT&T phones have locked bootloaders making custom ROMs difficult, idk if I really want to go the HTC route. Probably will get the One if it releases before the Xperia ZL, just not really all that sure on HTC. Sony/Samsung on the other hand both have a great reputation in terms of updates (at least based on their high end devices over the past two years) as well as great custom ROM support by independent developers. Nexus 5 will be nice but it probably won't be out until the end of the year while my upgrade is available now. If the Nexus 4 had all the AT&T LTE bands, I probably would get it. As for Motorola X, I am not willing to give Moto any more money after the way in which they abandoned the Atrix on Gingerbread despite promising an ICS update a year prior to scrapping it. Especially a Motorola phone which uses a Nvdia chip. Just can't justify going that route (again). |

No but more apps isn't a big enough reason to switch to boring iOS The Play Store does have a huge selection of apps and everything I need for my phone but I am talking about tablet-specific apps. The selection for the iPad is incredible (I have an iPad and an Android phone so that I can get the best of both worlds). |

Just found out that if I get into UK's pharmacy school I can appeal the cost of getting a new laptop for up to $1500, pretty sweet. Especially considering this laptop is 6 years old and the battery is shot
