i’m still trying to decide between new mba with max ram and whatever the mbp escape may or may not get updated to in like 8 months and whether I feel like waiting that long

also not sure if the new mba could reasonably handle camera raw edits and cataloging in Lightroom or similar

i would easily send my typing off to microsoft if they would just port the excellent wp keyboard on other os's instead of this swiftkey crap

not least granted the wp keyboard was backed by way better dictionaries, but it was a better typing experience too

same but windows phone mail instead of outlook mobile

no it's not

it feels snappier with most words though

they just become gestures with a pretty big margin of error



and then this to correct for user lazy

swiping seems dumb but I would definitely like a keyboard that was smarter about hit detection like that. ios used to do it way back when in like ios4 or 5 but the keyboard became worse and worse every release after.

yes. windows 10 mail is the best mail app. ios mail.app sucks rear end and outlook mobile isn't much better

I figure there’s a reason they didn’t update it with the other mbps and it probably isn’t because they wanted to give you a nice christmas surprise

idk why they’re still selling it but gotta have them skus I guess

i was considering a potential july update for the escape

but you raise an interesting point, its entire raison d’être is probably moot now that there’a a retina air as close to $1000 as they could do, and now its odd-man out cheapo status is taken by the old non-retina air

not even accuracy question, i got chest strap just because of discount bundle. wrist on garmin works more consistently for me - wrist on s3 would lock up into some high heartrate and then show that i ran for 20 minutes at exactly 180 bpm with no deviation

I recently got the S4 really and I think it’s garbage on a day-to-day basis. It makes dealing with notifications more convenient, but I would rather just disable notifications than move them to my wrist. More importantly, it’s worse as an actual watch than any actual watch I’ve ever put on.

I love it as a cell phone replacement though. It gives me just enough that when I go out for a social call or to take pictures I can leave my phone at home. Still have a bit of music or a podcast for the bus ride, I can send/receive texts well enough to meet up with people, and if I wander off path I can look up bus routes or call a car to get home.
