Ask HN: What could be your lifeputer?
If you could choose any computer available today, but you had to live with it for the rest of your life, what would you pick?
- wglb 17y agoLifeputer? Please.
- jasongullickson 17y agoDo you have a better suggestion?
- mooism2 17y agoOne computer already isn't enough for me.
- jasongullickson 17y agoI doubt one is enough for anyone that reads HN, but that's not really an answer to this question.
- mooism2 17y agoIf one computer isn't enough for me now, then how can one computer for the rest of my life possibly be adequate?
- csomar 17y agoI'll build it myself, so I can put enough processors, RAM, hard drive space... who knows how technology evolves in futur?
- nfnaaron 17y agoIs there anything at all that stands out above the rest? Assuming that anything more embedded than a phone is not part of the question, we have two choices: a smart phone, or a PC. Kindles and iThings are just feature restricted implementations of PCs or phones. All the smart phones do the same thing, all the PCs do the same thing. The biggest real differences are in marketing and branding. All you can really do is maximize some aspect that all phones and PCs have. So, similar to csomar's "build it myself" solution, mine would be the fastest, most rugged and capacious laptop I could afford. And three years from now I'd wish I didn't have to live with this pig for the rest of my life.
