'War Stories'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
My laptop is getting close to death. I am looking at these specs:
Apple MacBook Pro - Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz - RAM 4 GB - HDD 320 GB - DVD±RW (±R DL) - GF GT 320M - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN : 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR - MacOS X 10.6 - 13.3" Widescreen LED backlight TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) - camera
for $1054 - good?
How old is it? Maybe a little pricey, not horrible, though.
new, sealed it says - dead stock, I think. was originally released 2010.
msbelle, that's basically what mine is -- I think the one you're looking at has a larger hard drive than mine. Anyway, I love mine.
Anyone here use Evernote Premium. I'm just installing Basic on my Mac, and I'm impressed I get on the cloud for free. Just wondering if/when anyone hit limitations that made them update.
Or are you using another note tool?
Speaking of tools, what do you use for task management. I have Astrid on my tablet, and soon to be on the phone--I think that syncs on the cloud, but I don't know of desktop options yet. I do wish I could have something integrated with my email clients, but I know I use too many. Still, some sort of standard API/widget functionality would be nice.
I just got Evernote for my phone, but I haven't played with it yet. The SO just started using Astrid. He likes it.
Well, I just put Evernote to good use making a multimedia note shared between platforms--I like so far. I had Catchnote on my phone too, but I think this wins.
I love me some Evernote, especially after they made changes to it and I can do rich text notes.
You can tell how many data you have entered into Evernote by checking the web or your desktop client. I have recipes in mine and more "permanent" notes that I need to find.
I don't use tagging very much.
As far as to-do lists, I have not found the right client for that yet. I do like Wunderlist and I might revisit Google Tasks again. But I think I prefer a plain text/rich text solution.
Wow. This digitizer looks really cool. And $200 isn't that much compared to tablet costs.
