Looking at computer options

[Dead Eye]

I agree with most of the points made above; if you don't need mobility then a Desktop is always a better choice. They also tend to have much longer life-spans... unless you are an enthusiast...

I'm not sure if it's done these days but Apple did used to allow a dual-boot system to allow Mac OS and Windows to be installed. It's definitely still possible, BUT I don't know if they ship their products like it any more


As for phones;
The iPhone is not for me - as mentioned it is a smaller version of the iPad that can sometimes make calls and I don't like the iPad either.

Android handsets are my preference, but I will fully admit that they can be a bit daunting to novice users as they can be very complex devices.

I did like Windows Phone - Nokia were kind enough to give me a Lumia 810 as I was their "Ambassador" when working for The Carphone Warehouse. They only downside at the time was a significant lack of the applications that I use on my Android phone (currently a Galaxy Note 3). But again, I have quite particular needs and this skews my perspective.


I can seem them being a force to reckon with in the future since Nokia is now owned by Microsoft. Having said that, Motorola were bought by Google and they don't appear to have done much yet... pretty sure the latest Nexus handset was made by LG?
