MOTO X phone blocks wont happen - I'm pretty sure. The market forces are against it, although I'm happy that Google is using MOTO as another incubator for creativity. I'm disappointed that the nexus 5 wasn't a motorola phone considering the buyout, but they seem to have hit their stride with LG as a partner.
rjbman: I stopped going custom when I started uni. I got really tired of Windows and the constant performance decreases I'd see from about 5 mins after a format. I had a really intense uni course, and I figured a switch to mac would mean a more reliable experience-- and I was right. Back in the day I'd need to fiddle with something every few months, but once I bought my mac I literally did no maintenance for 5 years.
Since then I've had windows machines, and tested a bunch, but for my actual life of mostly research, writing, and some Creative Suite-ing my MBA works best. I've climbed a mountain with it on my back, travelled the world with it and it has only ever let me down once (while using a dodgy fake after market charger).
I've considered buying a Razer laptop after they started getting really good though. No gaming experience beats PC gaming and I don't fancy getting a desktop.
