[Fredslist] New laptop

[david at greyskye.com]

Laptops are a must have. My 11" air IS my goto "tablet". Best of both worlds hands down. Also have a 15" MacBook pro. Tablets will NEVER effectively run Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, my staples. iPads to me are entertainment and news browsing devices. One guy I know has successfully dumped his laptop for an iPad because he only needs access to the net, email, Excel (Apple's "Numbers" app) and Word (Apple's "Pages" app).

It depends on what you want & need:
- I personally love netbooks (tiny 10"), but they are literally going out of style (the major brands have announced they are no longer going to make them)
- I use a 17" when I'm not out & about
- I don't believe tablets can honestly replace laptops at this point (especially those that aren't Windows, like iPads, Androids)
- I don't like having to re-learn how to use a computer, hence:
-- I don't like Windows 8. Avoid having to tolerate Windows 8.
(Did you have to tolerate Microsoft Office 2010 and beyond? The learning curve seems worse.)
- Likewise, Macs are another learning curve, and expensive... but from what I've used, very high quality. I like the new Macbook Airs (see my first point).

So, what do you want to use your laptop for?
