<div dir="ltr"><div>Two questions<br></div><div><br>1.In my search for a good but cost effective phone, I think that Google's Nexus 5 is a very good choice.<br><br></div><div>Currently I am with Golan, and fairly satisfied. Do you know if this phone is compatible with Golan, or any of the other discount carriers in Israel?<br>
<br></div><div>2. I need a powerful, yet light, yet cost effective laptop to run statistical analyses, in either Windows or (preferably) Linux, and my current i3 Toshiba with 3GB ram is beginning to show its age. My usual modus operandii is to either find a discontinued laptop model (I am talking in the US, at stores such as Best Buy, Office Depot/Max, Target) that is offered at a low price, or buy at a discount store (TigerDirect, Walmart). These are usually Windows computers, but if the model is old enough it has little issues with Linux<br>
<br></div><div>Any advice or suggestions of good makes and models to shop for? It used to be IBM, but I am not sure Lenovo is as Linux friendly.<br><br></div><div>Thanks,<br><br></div><div>Z.<br></div></div>
