 Seems she prefers doing things at her desk.
Now she has a desktop that cost no more than a laptop of comparable quality would, with the additional benefit that in a couple years, I can upgrade parts for her, at considerably less than the cost of a new computer.
She has not noticed any difference in her usage patterns.
I suppose it helps for traveling that she finally got a smartphone.
Oh, yes, and the bigger screen which is more enjoyable when streaming Hulu/Netflix/etc. |
For streaming videos, we find an HDMI cable hooked up to the TV and the laptop works great.
Hubby has his laptop hooked up to an HD monitor. I forget whether it is a 24 or 26 inch.
My favorite device is my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.
Now as per smartphones, mine was useless on our last vacation. There are no Verizon towers within a 30 mile radius of Brownwood, Tx.
I never realized how many things I looked up on it until I couldn't use it.
