Your ideas on which TABLET I should get... PROS & CONS Please!

I am 27 and looking for a tablet to get for myself. I would like any and all opinions along with a pro and con list of your decisions.
Requirements for my tablet:
*fast web-surfing experience
*decent amount of memory for my music and documents
*wifi AND 3/4g capable (if that is not possible I would like the 3/4g)
*usb ports to attach speakers or memory cards
*gps navigation capable
*bluetooth capable
Things I would like, but do not have to have:
*great speakers
*a keyboard attachment to the case
Thanks for your help and your critiques!

Did you happen to get any other info? This is very similar to my question that I'm currently looking for help with. Our computer is dying and looking for the best option in a tablet that maybe can replace my computer. I'm looking for decent memory, hopefully my itunes and apps from my phone. A word program and printing and a USB port (for my kids leapfrog updates).
Thanks for any help.- Carrie

Looking to get a mac for fall semester, have a few questions on which one I should get.

Hello everyone, this is the first time im posting here and i hope i can get some help. Im in the need of a new computer; I have been wanting a mac for a long time and i figured since im a junior in college that i should get myself something decent to finish school with. Any who i have been thinking about getting a refurbished mac for a while now, to me saving a few bucks is always a plus. I was just wondering though, do you guys think i should get one of those older products or maybe get one of the newer models just announced at wwdc? I had my eye out on a macbook pro, but the air has also been looking really nice. Im really having a tough time trying to decide which one i want get. This will be my main computer btw, and i currently do have an iphone and ipad 2 to go along with it. Here are the notebooks i was considering and also i usually will not be carrying it around campus that much.
macbook pro 13in http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD313LL/A
macbook air 13in http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC965LL/A
macbook air 11in http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC969LL/A
Hopefully you guys can help me out, im really looking forward to owning a mac. If it wasnt for the os, i wouldnt be considering one, but i just fell in love with it when one of my high school teachers was showing some of the things he could do with his mac. Also if anyone has any other suggestions, please tell me, im all up for new ideas.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you... gonna be using it as my primary computer, graduating college soon, and my first mac. I'll be going with the 13 inch MacBook Air.
The Pro and the Air are nearly identical performance-wise and so that means the only advantage of the Pro is the storage space (unless you count the cd drive as an advantage). The Air is way more portable and has a better display, I don't know about you but my current cd drive rarely gets used so might as well get rid of it.
I have also compared them side-by-side in the store and that was really what won me over to the Air. The 11-inch Air was there too but the screen just seems too small, especially if you are doing work/writing essays etc.
Hope that helped

Which Iphone I should get, 5 or 4s

Which Iphone should I get?

If you have enough money you should get Iphone 5 if not you should get iphone 4s. The only difference is the 4 inch screen and better processor. The iphone 4s got all the update of the IOS 6. Iphone 4s has 800Mhz to 1Ghz dual core and iphone 5 has 1.3Ghz dual core. I think thats the only difference.

DW 8.0 or CS3 - don't know which one I should get

Looking for advice on which DW version to go for. I'm
extremely new to DW and have designed many sites in the past using
FP, so it looks like I will be converting sites from FP to DW AFTER
I figure out what I am doing. I am confused on which DW I should
start learning. I got a book to help me learn the 8.0 version but
this was AFTER I saw there were no more trials for 8.0 and now I
have downloaded the free trial of the CS3 version and the book is
pretty much following along and have done a tutorial which turned
out good and was fairly easy to follow.
Is the CS3 version the newest and is it better than 8.0? Is
one harder than the other for beginners to learn? I've been doing
lots of searches on this forum as well as online but can't seem to
figure which is better and more user friendly. I'm seeing how
others are having problems with 8.0 and then also with the
additional download for 8.2 I think it was. I'm looking for some
expert advice from other users before I make the plunge and
purchase - which one ??

DWCS3 is way different from DW8, but not in ways that
necessarily hit you in
the face. The integration with Photoshop, for example, is
excellent. The
CSS rendering is excellent (but could still improve). The CSS
editing is
WAY better.
I guess if you aren't using CSS, though, you wouldn't
appreciate these
differences....

Opinions on which size i should get.

ok i am looking at getting a display over the summer, probably a 23 or 30 inch. im planning to get one of the tv tuners from elgato and just use my machine/display combo as my tv along with using it for working on. im an art student but i dont do much digital work other than photo editing and a little PS work here and there. should the 23 inch preform well for my needs? right now im just on my MBP 15in so dont have a huge amount of screen space but im not sure if i need something 4 times the size.
can others that are using the 23 give me feed back (or any one else for that matter)
thanks
-matt

Hi Matt-
I have a 23" ACD. The display has ample desktop for day to day needs, and is plenty roomy using PS.
Browsing the net, you can have two pages open side by side, no problem. Working on text documents, the same, and room for inspectors and other pallettes. Text is never "too small" and eyestrain is kept to a minimum.
In PS, large photos fit easily, and pallettes don't have to ride over the canvas as with smaller displays.
The 23" also "fits" easily into ones eyesite- no need for turning ones head to see from side to side, top to bottom. The 30" definitely uses more muscles to see all parts.....
I don't watch TV on my monitor, but wide format DVD's are a pleasure to watch. Full screen video from a few feet away is comfortable to view.
Games, as well, with full screen presentation, look great, and the monitor presents colors and shades very nicely.
You can count me as a fan of the 23" ACD.

Hey guys, I'm new here, and ready to make my first apple purchase, I'm a high school junior and wondering which macbook i should get..it would be great for you to help me out, Thank you :) PS - Retina is not an option.

I'm also open to the higher end macbook air, if that's worth it. thank you

You're welcome, and GJ doing your homework!
IMO, as a student pick the Air. You will find it is much lighter and won't cause strain over a full day of carrying it around. But don't forget to get a nice padded case/bag or slip cover for it cause you want to protect your investment.
If you haven't already go to the store and see touch and feel the differences ultimately one will feel "right" and then you'll know. Pick your upgrade options and enjoy your new mac!

Any good stuff from these guys???
THanks ...

i assume you are going to use this as your external HD...
WD make pretty good HD's, the list of links you have are enclosures for 2.5" HD's..... so either you had a typo on the Hard Drive specs or you are looking at all the wrong enclosures.

I am deciding whether to get the macbook pro retina (base model) or the fully customized macbook air. Opinions on which one I should get?

I am trading in my 2009 macbook pro so now I am trying to pick the one I want. I stream a lot of movies and tv shows off of netflix but otherwise I'm just an average computer user.

Cores and speed ...
Multiply cores by the speed to get "maximum therotical processing power". Example:
2.8 dual = 5.6 max
2.2 quad = 8.8 max
Plus quad-core usually have hyper-threading which can double that maximum speed. And quad-core systems have slightly faster internal caches and other memory buses.
In theory. Usually even the heaviest programs will not max out, but it will have a higher maximum.
If you can afford the quad-core, it gives a bit longer usable life.

ITunes decides which podcasts I should get ...

iTunes ssupends my subscriptions to podcasts after a certain number of weeks when I don't listen to them. I keep missing episodes of my favorite podcasts just because itunes doesn't like that I went a month without listening to them. Is there any way to keep iTunes from automatically doing this?

Additional information:
Lizziev:
The trick is to regularly Sync your iPod with iTunes.
If you are downloading the Podcast to your iTunes Library and then Syncing and listening to them on your iPod, you need to Sync the iPod again so that iTunes knows you have listened to them. Also, ensure that you lisetn all the way through. Until you do, the episode is marked as "part-heard". This may make iTunes report it back to the Podcaster as "not listened to".
If you only listen to part of the episodes, you can mark each episode as played by selecting it in iTunes and right-click/Mark as played.
lizziev wrote:
has Apple added an option/check-box/whatever where I can say "always download my podcasts"?
I think that's unlikey to happen, for the reasons I stated in my previous post, concerning the Podcaster's limits.

Which IPad model should I get?

Hi,
I am considering buying an IPad for school and I don't know what to get. I need help choosing which one I should get.
I have concerns for these things:
~ 3g or Wifi only? I have no Internet at home and no other sources for Internet. I currently go to a family members house to use Wifi.
~ IPad or IPad 2? I do not know which one is better. I am currently leaning towards the IPad 2, but I would like a second opinion.
~ 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb? I only put apps, a few TV shows, music, voice memos, and notes currently on my iPod touch (32gb).
~ Where should I get it? Should I buy it over the Internet or in-store? If I buy it from the Internet, I will most likely buy it from the Apple Store.
~ Can you engrave it in a store? Could an IPad be engraved when you buy it from a store and then be shipped to you?
--thank you for trying to answer these questions!

Which Macbook Air should I go with?

I want to get an 11 inch Macbook Air, but do not know which one I should get. Do you think the $999 Air (1.6ghz i5 processor, 2GB memory, 64GB flash storage) will be efficient using final cut and adobe illustrator? I create small video clips/highlights, slideshows and edit photos for my job a lot. Or Should I get a more expensive air like the $1,199 (1.6ghz i5 processor, 4GB memory, 128GB flash storage)? Or even an upgraded Air with 1.8ghz, i7 processor, 256GB flash storage? I will NOT use this computer to store music or any other types of media other than short video clips and photos. I also have a large external hard drive to store any work I am finished with. I'm on the road a lot so I need something small. Thank you for your help!

Get a a model with 4gb of ram. You can't upgrade it once you've bought the laptop (it's soldered to the main board) and OS X Lion uses a lot of ram. 2gb will work, but it can become painfully slow at times, specially when you edit videos or photos.
The $1,199 model you quoted seems to be the best choice for what you need.

Which power adapter should I use?

yes hi I was wondering, if I get a power adapter for my ipod nano which, which one should I get? I have a 2Gb nano if I we're to purchase one which one should I get? I've knowdest that there are 2 kinds of
adapters one of them is for the 10,20,30 or perhaps 40 Gb ipods and the other is for lesser Gb's both packages would say all for ipod models for both adapters. I'm not really sure which one I should get.

Yes, the UK system is far safer than that in Europe. Each of your items should have their own fused plugs, rated as appropriately, then connect to the power surge strip, which is itself protected only up to 13 amp.
You can read about fuse ratings here:
http://www.davesdiytips.com/2009/08/fuse-ratings-in-plug-tops/
Short answer: use more than one power surge strip, do not plug them into each other, and use separate wall sockets!
