Yeah, I had that problem as well to where I didn't want to put a case on my Nexus 7, but my parents bought it for me, and they really dislike it when I don't put items they buy for me to good use.. however, I decided to keep the case on now because of how it unlocks and locks whenever I open and close the case, just like how the iPad works with Apple's SmartCase.
|
I had a bulky case for my iPad but I just stopped using it after a couple of months, I find it much easier to use without it tbh and I haven't even dropped or broken it... yet.
|
I may wind up taking my Nexus out of its case again.. because before I did put the case on it, I have been able to put it into my pocket just fine (considering I have large pockets) while having other things in my pockets as well. At least it has a rubber back for grip as well.
|
My Nexus 7 doesn't have a case, as I use the dock (http://goo.gl/nQb2FP) for it. Though these days, the dock isn't working too well either, the plugs on the bottom aren't living up right so that I have to hold it in the dock a certain way in the dock or it won't charge :(

My OG Nexus 7 has a Seidio case. I absolutely love it. It has a nice cover too. I don't have a screen protector on it though.

I have a Quirky docking station, which I really like. It's very stylish, and gives me a great way to keep my things charged. You're able to hide all the cables underneath, which makes your room look less messy. The stand also provides you with a memorable place to keep all of your devices, so that when you lose them, you wouldn't have to go through the trouble of searching your entire house just to find them. =)

I finally got a screen protector applied on my Surface RT, and I think it's probably going to take a while for me to get used to it. Something about how un-smooth the surface of the screen protector is. And how it makes the screen look grainy (though, thankfully, nit as bad as what would get on the W3, and the screen is as bright as ever).
Somehow I think that I might end up removing the screen protector sooner or later, but it does reduce smudging a lot. I also know that I don't have to be really careful with the screen now that it's protected by a something. |
Is this the right place to ask a question about electric circuits?

I'm thinking of going big finally. A 15" laptop does sound pretty good to me, especially when it also has a 1080p screen.
Something about how so many laptops use Yet Another Garbage TN Panel bothers me, but I guess I should be glad that no current Sony laptop model has a display whose screen resolution is less than 1600x900. And at least the screen doesn't give me a gradient with an all-black image. Though... I think I might to have to get by with playing many games at a resolution lower than the display's native resolution if I do go ahead with it. |

I'm just kind of concerned that the VAIO Fit 15E come in only one configuration where I live - expensive starting price.
|
One thing that seems to kill me with choosing a laptop is that there are so many to choose from these days.. and it really sucks that all the good laptops I want to have are all out of my price range, too.
The ideal laptop for me right now would probably be one with 8GB RAM, at least 1GB VRAM, and probably an i5 processor, and a resolution that's above 1366x768. I just can't seem to find a laptop with those specs, though, that's between $500 and $600. |
If I had to drop something, I'd gladly chop the installed RAM and resolution.
Video RAM is not important these days. You can't exactly get not enough of them these days. |
My current laptop has 4GB for now, but it seems that I may need to have more than that...unless it's the processor that isn't cutting it, because 4GB does fine on my desktop. On my laptop I just have a normal Intel Pentium with a dual core.
|
Hmm... great, I hate region-specific models. Do I have to bounce between two country sites to get all laptops?
Either way, I'm seriously considering going all premium and go for some sort of gaming monster, but they tend to be expensive and gaudy. On the other hand, so says the owner of a Razer Orochi. |
Wow, the Razer Orochi looks like a badass mouse.. but there would be no way that I pay $70 for a computer mouse at all, if you ask me..

GUESS WHO GOT THEIR SNES WORKING TODAY

I think my eyes really hate the way the screen protector makes the Surface RT's screen look like it is grainy... I think I managed to waste ten bucks. |
I wish Bluetooth was available on my non-portable devices (including my laptops).. that way I could transfer files between my Nexus to my computer without the need of a USB connection.
|
Sometimes, I forget that Bluetooth even exists. xD It's a very advanced feature, and I know that I have it in my phone, but I never use it. If I ever want to connect my phone to the computer, I just take out the USB cable and do it the old-fashioned way. I've never really owned much things that utilize Bluetooth, either, such as a wireless keyboard or mouse.
|
Hehe, I'm used to Bluetooth being around. It's been there in basically every but the most basic of phones - I actually got into fooling around with Bluetooth stuff with a Nokia 6230 way back. I expect to be able to use Bluetooth well in most portable devices now.
|
I'm typically always reminded of Bluetooth's existence in that on my tablet there's a shortcut button to have it enabled or disabled. And Bluetooth would be nice to have if the usage of it in iOS wasn't so limited.. a lot of my friends from last school year had Android phones and they used Bluetooth functionality to transfer pictures around, while in iOS you aren't able to use Bluetooth for that function.
|
Bluetooth was a hit for us here cos we were able to transfer songs/gifs/pictures from our phones to others'. I still remember the bluetooth 'parties' I had with my class during excursions.
Haven't be using it recently due to this iPhone boom happening here (I am not using a iPhone, but most of my friends are) and also the lack of taking pictures. Anyway, nobody uses bluetooth to transfer pictures, they are now using Whatsapp via 3G/WiFi to transfer pictures now. I never used bluetooth to transfer things from a device to my PC because I find it too unreliable and slow. Always used the good old USB cable because its reliable, fast and I just feel safe using it. |
I really like the simplicity of using a wire to transfer data these days. I kind of miss syncing my phone at this point - it's unable to sync for over a week since there is no real PC around right now.
