    Smartphone recommendation please?

    The Nokia 635 is good phone. Windows runs smoothly with no problems and Nokia includes some nice apps. Also Microsoft will update Windows 8 phones to Windows 10 for free when 10 is available. Lot of the major apps are available with Windows phones.

    Android or windows?

I decided to go with the I3-4150 since I was able to price match and I have a few to many background stuff running while I am watching tv on my computer. I am not sure if I want to risk my parts by o/c'ing...

    What motherboards have Non-Z overclocking enabled for Pentium 3258?

    Don't own the g3258 at this time. Debating whether to buy the g3258 or I3-4150. My m/b only has 4 power connectors rather than the 8 so I am not sure how stable overclocking would be.

    Asus has a bios update that will support the AE Pentium but I would double check Asus' website to make sure those boards can be updated with that particular bios.

    Intel NUC vs Microsoft Surface

    Surface 2 rt should be enough for a 7 year old. It has Microsoft Office 2013 with Outlook preloaded. You can sync the Surface Rt with your home pc and remote sign in I believe. You can't load programs directly to it except for the apps in the Microsoft store. I have a Surface 2 RT and if...
