Had to move out of my apartment. :( But I found a really nice 4 bedroom house share, I got the smallest bedroom but it's cheap and very nice inside.

 

Is that an ACER netbook or regular laptop? If it is a netbook what resolution does the screen have?

It's an 11.6" Acer netbook, screen resolution is 1366x768. Impulse buy but had a really good spec for the price.

Those LG Monitors are really nice, My mate has one at his office attached to a Zoomstorm PC running Ubuntu and its amazing quality.

 

If you're referring to mine, they are indeed. I paid ?120 each for them, 24" IPS @ 1080. For the price I really really cannot fault them, they even have a sharper more contrasting image for my Hazro. I'd certainly say there's competition between these and higher priced models, I'm considering replacing the Hazro with a 3rd LG.

I'd hold on and wait for the 27" LG IPS that supposedly should be on UK shelves soon (guessing you're UK based on the ?) would be a nice center piece to complement the two surrounding panels.

Hmmmmmmm Interesting.

 

Yes you cant beat it for the price. Think the cheapest I have seen is ?105.

^ Are you one of those people who either loves apple/windows but cannot bring yourself to go fully apple/windows? haha

 

I love both very much however you are right though I could never go fully windows or just apple lol.

 

He is not only one....  My brother has 27" iMac and Windows laptop. Depends on what he is using for.

You are 100% correct, I use both for what I do for a living.(full time internet marketer.)

I mainly use the mac for photoshop task and web browsing and the PC is mainly used because of software that will only work on windows that I need to be successful in my industry.

Wire management! Geez...

Sad thing is the poor wire management is doing more to increase the temps than most other things. With better wire management he should be able to cut down on the number of fans and still get the same cooling performance out of his setup.

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
