I've got one of those!
It's the best thing ever.

I remain unconvinced.
What contract have you got it on?

None.
I haven't got a 3G version, just wifi. If I want to use the internet on it, I just tether it to my phone.

I might get a new laptop.

I've got my eye on a new laptop
it's very shiny.

Linky?

I figure if I'm going to have to write assignments again
then doing it on this ageing heap will drive me bonkers. I want this

That seems very expensive
Considering you can buy more powerful laptops for less (unless I'm missing something).
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 30 May 2012, 22:15, Reply)

It is expensive
but it's pretty, it's very fast, it's very light and the same size as a macbook so I can cart it to/from lectures on the bus/bike etc easily, and I've had Sony laptops for years and they're incredibly reliable.

But mostly I like the colour.

would a macbook not be a similar price?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 30 May 2012, 22:20, Reply)

Christ no, they're probably half that again for a similar spec
I also can't abide using them. Ipods are fine but all macs induce in me is rage and hatred.

Don't preach to me
I know all about your 'red cars go faster' theory.
(berk, Wed 30 May 2012, 22:24, Reply)

Red cars do go faster
Red laptops do not. Also, Sony pilfer their electronics from Samsung. You're paying over the odds for a badge.
( Kroney, Wed 30 May 2012, 22:27, Reply)

It's still pretty.

(berk, Wed 30 May 2012, 22:32, Reply)

samsung make pretty stuff that doesn't work
Sony kit is rather beterr quality usually, so I suspect you are full of shit.

'aging heap'
remonds me of my husband, for some reason.

There are some tablets which can be adapted with a keyboard
essentially making them a netbook.
I love my laptop, and I wouldn't want to do away with it at all, but the ipad is nicely portable. Well, considering I go everywhere with a huge handbag, it is.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 30 May 2012, 22:06, Reply)

I don't know how much use I'd get from a tablet.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 30 May 2012, 22:10, Reply)

You
won't get much use from a tablet if you shove it up yer arse. That's suppositories, or Tories, for short.

What are some good apps.
So far the best thing I can do is see the 'hair frizz risk' on a weather app. It's currently moderate. I'm not going outside.

You've got a sore arse today. In the kitchen. With a spoon, I hear.

Really.
