laptops/tablets.

[pete23]

prob been done to death.

 

my laptop is forever doing updates and is very slow, believe this is because I only have a dongle for internet use (the joys of boat life).

 

any way my wife has a ipad that works perfect all the time on our set up where the laptop is cr*p.

 

is theres any laptop out there that doesn't need updates like a ipad does?

 

my knowledge of computers and such is zilch.

 

thinking of getting a ipad meself as its so good, is there any other type pad thing that you would recommend??

 

thankyou, pete.

MacBook is what I have, never have problems with speed and only the very odd update. Curious about the dongle, is that on a contract? Do you also have a mobile phone?

Ok just wondered. Not many people realize that you can share your network from your phone and log into it from a laptop to access the internet, could save you a bit of cash

We've had a couple of MacBookPro's fry their logic boards. They are great when they are working though!

Apple customer service ain't what it used to be; especially if you are out of the warranty period.

Now I just use an ipad2 for emails & internet stuff. It's good on battery but not any good for doing serious work.

The ipadPro looks interesting but also a ripoff.

 

What can I suggest?....

 

Spoon carving!!

cheers, steve
