I have tried several different iPads over the years and I have never found them to be useful in any way. A laptop is superior in every situation for me. Also the M1 MacBook Air was on sale many times for $700. That's less than $100 m

The problem is a large portion of the food in restaurants is not prepared in the restaurant. If you order a burger meal, yes the meat is cooked on the grill at the restaurant, but the buns, and any sauce were likely made somewhere else. The

"Why are they making 13-inch laptops?" Because some of us travel? "isn't it better to buy a 13-inch tablet then?" No. Tablets are for consuming media and are terrible at anything else. Plus with a keyboard case they

I would like to use linux but every system I have ever installed it on, it eventually breaks. Then I have to spend several hours searching through forums trying to find the correct command line prompts to fix it. This is even using the sup

Microsoft Edge is so disappointing because it was and can be a great browser. I recently had to use a low-spec computer (Celeron 6305, 4GB Ram, Windows 11), and Firefox just did not run well on it. I switched over to Edge and it loaded web

LTSC was the best version, but now apps are starting to require specific release versions of windows. The current Windows 10 LTSC is based on Windows 10 21H2, and will not be updated beyond that. Ableton 12 for example requires Windows 10 2

My 2018 15” MacBook Pro runs Sonoma without any issues. Only thing I notice is wake from sleep on battery seems to be a little slow. But maybe it just feels that way because of my M1 air.

"I think they can be deleted." No they can not be deleted. And I am not trying to be rude, but can I ask why you would reply to a comment, and argue against it, when you yourself are unsure of the answer? Even if they are small ap

Because your MacBook does not support TPM, you never have to worry about it upgrading to Windows 11.

At least Apple doesn't change my settings, re-install apps I have deleted and send me advertising in the OS to use their AI, cloud, and Search products. I was recently using a Windows 11 PC, a popup ad displayed suggesting I connect to

Windows updates are awful, I had a similar thing happen. I was transcoding a large amount of videos overnight and expected it to be finished the next morning. But, I discovered the machine updated and rebooted instead. The plus side of Wi

We should also have the ability to delete included Apps I don't use. Chess, Freeform, News, Stickies, Stocks, Podcasts, Etc. I have never used these Apps yet I must have them installed on my machine.

I noticed a few people on forums posting that this happened to them a few days ago. That suggests to me it's more than a handful of people because I've never seen anyone post this before. Apple as far as I know has always respect

Some form of this has been a problem since the invention of headphones. Kids were blasting music on their walkman, then cd-player, iPod, portable DVD player, gameboy, etc. The bigger issue I think is bluetooth headphones have made it easier

There is no point in running linux on these. If you were looking for servers to run linux on...you would buy linux-based servers. Those would be much more space efficient and cost effective. The whole point of doing this, is to be able to r

Yes I do. I'm often moving files between two Macs and sometimes my iPhone. I have a few important documents and maybe 100 photos backed up in my free google drive storage, everything else is stored locally. Email/Text has very sm

I put almost nothing in the cloud. So for me it's an easy way to transfer files between devices. I'm often moving files between two Macs. When I go on a vacation with friends, they want a bunch of photos and videos that I took. So

A 6" display with Windows 11 sounds like an exercise in futility to me. That form factor probably works well for gaming, but In my experience it doesn't work well for anything else. I'm not a gamer so I prefer a more traditio

The GPD Pocket 3 is the closes equivalent device and I considered it as well. But, you can buy two of these AliExpress N100/12GB RAM laptops for the price of one Pentium N6000/8GB RAM GPD Pocket. The i7 GPD Pocket pushes $1,000.

The author mentions if you want a small laptop today, you need to go to eBay and buy an old UMPC. This is not correct, there are some modern mini laptops. I purchased a new 8" mini laptop with folding touchscreen and an intel N100 CPU
