Cash or Czech Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Took me about 5 hours, but that was a very fun build. Now I have to find a place in my room for a Star Destroyer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think my white 2010 Macbook's battery is finally kicking the bucket. It's currently charging and I have watched the battery percentage continue to drop from 64% to 48%, while the time to charge until full goes up. The question is, do I just replace the battery on this "dinosaur", or buy an iPad and a bluetooth keyboard? Does anybody use the latter two and have comments? I mostly use google docs for class, as well posting on here and browsing the interwebs. Some Netflix binges as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 A buddy of mine went that route, and then came right back to using a laptop within a year. Said while it's somewhat practical and fun at first, he's just too conditioned to a lot of what owning an actual PC gives you. Said, believe it or not, he missed having a mouse.

NYR2711 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Get an Air. A tablet isn't for that. This, my wife got the air, its cheaper than a macbook, all you have to buy is the cd/DVD drive/burner to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most media is available via USB or download. Discs are a dated media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yeah, most folks don't even need the external drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to do that with all Macs now I think. I have the most recent Pro and it doesn't have a disc drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Because CD/DVD is a dead/dying tech. It's going the way of the VHS tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tablet isn't for that. I still have my iMac that I got around last Christmas-time, so I definitely have computer access. I also picked up a bluetooth keyboard for my Nexus 7, but it's a weak little thing that isn't particularly good at the basic stuff I mentioned above. I'll look into the Air or even the new MacBook.

Cash or Czech Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm considering looking outside of Apple for a replacement. Lots of interesting Windows 10 laptops on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a little nervous having gotten assf##led by Windows 8 and having to restore Windows 7 to save my sanity Is 10 any good or another disaster?

Sent from my LG-H345 using Tapatalk 8 is a shitshow, I was barely able to use my girlfriend's laptop because of the software. I have limited use of 10 with my Dad's all-in-one PC. It's relatively straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you kindly gents. And don't be so sure Rome. Not only are jobs scarce, but I don't think you ever truly leave the life of remorseless, recalcitrant pillaging behind.
