I'm no artist but I got this laptop mainly for taking notes in school. It costs a pretty penny but unfortunately I felt like it was the only one around that could fit my expectations of what I wanted in a note-taking laptop at the time. I refused to type up my notes and would rather use a tablet pen to write them myself, so I had to settle for this. I don't regret it though.
|
I want a Surface laptop so badly just so I can actually use it to write perfectly.
|
I've been craving an iPad just for art reasons tbh.
I have a tablet for my PC, but it old. |

But it also starts wearing out, like the tablet and/or pen won't register properly and you have to toggle it for 30 minutes until you either give up, or can draw afterwords. Also, sometimes the pen sensitivity dies. |

But I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the screen detaching function, haha. |
i can't stand surfaces. the keyboards are just about the worst things ever

i've tried it, a whole bunch. not a fan at all.
to each their own tho |
fair enough. I can get not being on the surface pro train and typing on that but I wouldn't group the surface book line in that at all. even reputable tech reviewers (even though it's their own opinion on the matter, but I do take laptop reviews seriously) agree that the surface book typing experience is pretty good and comfortable
essentially, you get what you pay for in a surface product |
all i need is my old laptop which screen is completely messed up
but then again I dont need a laptop anymore |
I have a laptop that does the job for the most part but I really wish it could game :<

That's the downside with laptops, to be able to do that decently you need to shell out way more cash than with a desktop unfortunately.
I think id have to waste twice as much cash to get the same performance my desktop delivers |
i've had windows laptops in the past but they've gone faulty or broken within a couple of years which always put me off. my desktop i've had since 2012 and it honestly runs just as smoothly as it did years ago. i've always preferred the reliability of desktops over laptops. the most reliable laptop i've purchased (and still currently have) is my macbook air which i got back in 2014 and that still works well 5 years on.

I should... actually try a Macbook and see what those are like. .__. I've always been on Windows laptops and they've been fine for me for the most part. Never really had a whole lot of issue with them.
But I'm willing to try something new when it comes to tech so I hope to experience what a Macbook is like in the future. :o |
I had a classmate who had a macbook and he could do so little with it in the course we had it was hilarious how many workarounds he had to use to do common things for said course.
|
yeah, there are a lot of things that you can't do with a mac that you can do with a windows laptop (i found out the hard way lmao). going from windows to mac takes a while to adjust though. even now i still sometimes get confused by the differences, but i have found it to easily be the most reliable laptop.
|
My impression on Macs tends to be "shell out a lot of money for hardware and then shell out even more for the software". I've heard the majority of people who use one of those are either businessmen or artists, people who also spend a lot of money on expensive software.
I'll take any machine that is able to run Linux. If it has WIndows (which it probably has) then it gets replaced with my own setup. I'm currently on somewhat of a minimalist setup where I've gotten rid of a lot of software in favor of command line and shell scripts (most of which are assigned to some sort of keyboard shortcut). That's something that bugs me about Windows in particular: most keyboard shortcuts are already in use and cannot be reassigned without major effort. |
Minimalism is great if you know what you are doing. Unfortunately, a majority of end-users would be lost when it comes to solely using a command-line interface.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, I set up a FreePBX server and a SIP phone! I acquired a used Cisco 7941 IP phone that was sitting in the lab where I work, and learned a lot in the past three days about how SIP phones and IP phones in general work. It has paging and hold music. |
I wish I was technologically savvy enough to understand your second paragraph. :<
But yeah, re: minimalism, I appreciate the training I had to go through for my major, requiring familiarity with command line to more efficiently access Fortran modelling programs. Thanks to said training, when things are a bit minimalist, I wouldn't be too lost. Although I do prefer it when software developers make things easier for the end-user. It takes a lot of love to try to make things digestible by people like me. |

So, a provider here in the Netherlands is having issues and even the national alarm number is affected by it and is offline at the moment.
Some 4G issue it appears to be |
