Which is as good a reason as any for choosing an iPhone, and makes more sense of your purchase.
Now, how much did your games console cost? If your free time is limited, what was the point of that purchase? I wouldn't think that playing games should be high on a young fathers priorities.
Only joking.
Although the PlayStation was the first thing that went in my house when the baby arrived. They don't tell you that in Ante-Natal class!

Unless it starts happening to me physically. When it might become a pressing matter.
Fragmentation hasn't been a problem for Windows, which supports literally billions of combinations of hardware; and it's not really been a problem for Android since the bad-ish old days of 2.2.
Besides, it's even less of a problem now that the bulk of services run as a freely updatable system app, supported by pretty much every device currently on the market. Have a read of this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/09/ ... g-android/ :)

That's good to hear, all sounded like the bad old days of Nokia where the carrier would have to approve the update - which they usually didn't.
Re: Mobile phones & tablets thread
About time for me to get a MacBook, should I get the Air or the Pro ? All advices are appreciated, just don't bother trying to change my mind, it will be an Apple :p:
Re: Mobile phones & tablets thread
Depends how much lugging about you are doing to do with it. If it's just sat on a table then the Pro is better because of the better screen etc, but if you're taking it around or on the sofa etc you'll want an air - or an iPad Air ;)
Re: Mobile phones & tablets thread
Mark - iPad air was a brillante idea by Apple ( this in reference to the heavy weight issue of the large iPad I purchased a while back)

Was to be expected as it's the same design and width as the original iPad Mini.
Re: Mobile phones & tablets thread
It will be an Air with 8 GB RAM, getting today :D

I'd love a Mac Book Pro as my home laptop, but boy are they expensive. My wife has one from her work and the OS is lovely to use. A couple of years ago I asked my wife's cousin who is a programmer for Dell what he would recommend. I was hoping he'd get me a Dell laptop with employee discount, but he said if you want reliability, sound build quality and excellent customer service, buy a Mac. His wife has a Mac and obviously all his stuff is Dell, but he really rates Apple's computers. Not being able to afford a Mac I bought a Dell Inspiron from Curry's, and I have to say in 2 years I've had to have it repaired twice. My previous Acer laptop lasted 3 and half years with no issues whatsoever. I've always used PC's primarily as they are cheaper and you can put hooky software on them easily, but if money was no object I'd get an Air or Pro. I would be able to do CAD on it , however I rarely use my home PC for that these days as I have a laptop for work too. Its what you prefer at the end of the day and I know there are a few guys here who are very into their PC building and have a totally different set of preferences again. Some of the conversations here go way over my head when talking about technical specifications.
With a market so big, I don't think there is any right or wrong answer with what computer is better for you. Its the same with mobile phones even if we often have the 'my phone is better than your phone' discussions. I don't think you can go much wrong with either a PC or a Mac. :)
