Not sure how I managed this one, but I took the 50% off clearance PC coupon here: Staples Coupons: Coupon Codes & Printable Coupons | Staples.com® and took this to the manager - Asus X551MA 15.6'' Laptop | Staples® (which was listed at $220 and tried the coupon - it didnt work for whatever reason but he gave it to me. $110 for it.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get over there and see what kind of scam I can run with that coupon

You need another laptop like a hole in the head

It's the 593 which is the older one compared to the 594 that's the new in box ones. Only difference is that the 594 has the better wifi card (AC) and 5ghz. I saw people change the card out so I bought the internal card and it should come Monday. I'm putting a skin on the back to cover the gash. So all in all its gonna be perfect ($600 for the same ones selling for $1150 now).

Love it so far as well. Fast and so much easier to type and scroll on then the surface pro. Trackpad is almost as good as my MacBook.

If you find an open box, wait to see if the new ones are on sale and haggle.
Whiskers,

How's the battery life on the Pro 2?

Nice. Did you write the comment that this can be a legit gaming PC if the video card were swapped? Same guy also mentioned the i7 costs $300 alone.

Android 5.1.1 is out for a bunch of watches:

PSA: If your watch (not Zenwatch) gets the 5.1.1 update, please don't update before you have got the URL of the update. You cannot get it after. People in this thread can guide you through how to get the URL. : AndroidWear


You can check your System Update in your settings or you can download the OTA and sideload it just like any other Android device. Currently sideloading 5.1.1 on my G Watch R.

OTA to 5.1.1 for LG G Watch R:

http://android.clients.google.com/pa...K.9de32096.zip


You'll need ADB installed on your computer and enable USB Debugging or Bluetooth debugging on your Android Wear device:

Code:
adb reboot recovery
tap on the android swipe up and swipe right to do an ADB Sideload
ADB sideload "OTA Zip File"
Let is sideload then reboot
Full instrucitons:

How to update Android Wear devices manually using OTA downloads | 9to5Google

^They haven't updated their OTA links yet.

Can someone help me out with a 13" laptop? My 70 year old mom wants one. She looooooves taking pics of her trips so I'd prefer onboard storage. She won't do Mac because of price. She doesn't want the slowest turn either. Any feedback is appreciated.
