I don't know. My brother tells me sammy is overpriced but so is apple.

You could add Sony to that overpriced list. Their laptops are nice but pricey when I was looking to get one.

But they are so Pretty.

I stay away from Sony anymore. They are nice, but they use proprietary components to the extreme and over-design the bejeezus out of them to the point that only they can work on them ... at prices that would make Apple blush.

That sounds like Packard Bell

The Vaios seem to be priced very much like Apple, that's for sure. But I don't think the old Sony quality is really there these days. Not like when I had my built like a tank C6 Betamax VCR. And their warranty service sucks, in the UK at least.

Sure Sony lost it when their founder, Akio Morita passed away and Howard Stringer(not Japanese) took control.

U.S. Too. Deliberately obtuse, prohibitive and pricey IMHO to dissuade any service.

I just caught your avatar Luna. Evan would be proud.

 

[lunatic59]

I was wondering who was going to catch that.

I'm trying to get back in the groove here, but my grooves have been worn down lately.

Just today, Apple announced the new ipad, named iPad Air. How about an iPad Air? It's lightweight, I hear.

yes I created a Thread about today in the computer Section.
weird they call it the air, as if there is going to be a pro model sometime

Still not interested in a tablet. Can't find a use for one outside of simply reading.

 

[wyndslash]

bread: same here. and for tablet-optimized games. still, if someone gave me one, i wouldn't object

 

[Codegerm]

I am finding my tablet quite useful. I used to carry an eBook that I had loaded system manuals on it to use at work. I wish I had a full tablet then.

 

[wyndslash]

I have my kindle for novels. I've got tons of slabs at home

If I could get a first generation nexus 7 to do what I wanted it would be perfect for my car

Cost isn't the big deal it's being able to have my Sirius, and navigation like my GPS

 

[wyndslash]

so many new products out around this time of year. it can be confusing.

I stayed away the the Nexus tabled. The lack of the sdcard slot bothered me. It limited me to the choice of a 16gig or pay quite a bit more for a 32gig.

Having the sdcard slot makes it easier to expand and transfer files and side load stuff.

Greetings from my new tablet. I've been enjoying it since Saturday.
