OK what laptop should I get? I was all set to pull the trigger on a new-old-macbook but I decided that's stupid since it's a 2015 machine and there's gotta be something better out there. I'm also ok w waiting another 6-9 months if you tell me apple is going to do a good thing and release the retina mba.

the xps 15 is probably the best all around laptop and that precision is an xps 15 but with more options.

I have two windows 10 computers, both on the same workgroup, same subnet, hooked up to the same router, except one is on wifi and the other's connected via ethernet. I can connect remotely from one to the other and access file shares by ip address but not by hostname, and i have no idea why. both can browse other computers in explorer but only other computers connected by the same method - the wifi computer can see the other computers on wifi and the wired computer can see other wired computers. is it just my lovely router?

could be your router. also check that all the machines consider the network a home network and that you have sharing and discoverability enabled for home networks.

I'm a huge nerd so my network is set up the proper enterprise way so hostnames always work. The DNS search domain is set in dhcp and each device has a static ip or static dhcp entry with a matching DNS entry. This only takes a couple lines of config per device on my edgemax router

not the thread or even forum for it, but how's ios on scaling the ui (or fonts at least) for vision-impaired users? specifically, do "big" apps like e.g. facebook messenger respect them? my old man needing a new phone, but his eyesight is rather an issue for getting full use out of a smartphone
