i like the idea of a smart watch but they are all so darn bulky and I don't want to have to charge a watch bc i will definitely forget. that xiaomi one ticks the size and battery boxes for me but then the computery functions aren't really anything I'm interested in. i don't do step tracking so i think it would just give me the ability to have my phone totally on silent and let my watch vibrate/beep instead. that's...neat. i guess

thinking of going for an aluminum Apple Watch this time because the steel one only comes with GPS. lol at paying $700 for a watch whose screen will pop off when the battery swells.

If you're on a network that supports it, it might be worth looking at the 7 Plus over the 7.1 instead if you can find it. You'll get a faster cpu(660 vs 636), way more battery (3800 vs 3060 mAh). It's pretty much an upgrade in every department despite being released 6 months earlier.

drat that is a shitload more battery capacity. my main concern is it's apparently lacking lte band 12 which may impact coverage? not sure how big an impact that would be though.

also not thrilled about it being larger but i could deal w/ that.

Thats why I say depending on your service provider.

As for size, its about as tall as a Nexus 6p, but not quite as wide so it feels a bit better in the hand.

on one level the nicest thing you can say about them is that they have not hopelessly messed them up in some boneheaded way, but that is actually a nicer thing than you can say about almost all android phones

the keyboard cover for the surface pro is one of the grossest design ideas in computers. oh hey you can take this device anywhere! (disclaimer: never place it anywhere that has any dust or debris. always perform a full surgical hand wash before using the device or picking it up)

agreed on the comp u carpet, but most people don’t put a surface down their pants . rubberelle coatings and that mar easily when scuffed and if that’s not what you’re into that’s going to be rough.

I had mine for 5 years and it never got gross the way you see pictures of online. I use it every day too. these nasty keyboards are owned by loving disgusting people who do horrible poo poo to their computers.

i once had a student who asked me for help with his solidworks model and i literally couldn't see what was happening on his laptop screen through the grime. there were sprays of brown god-knows-what all over the glass, like he'd been driving it through the mud, and grunge caked on so hard you could see it was three-dimensional. i got him a bottle of windex and some paper towels and told him to clean it off before I could help. that may have been humiliating for him but jesus christ dude have some pride

ah yes the very common use case of "i obsessively lint-roll the inside of every bag i own, and i have never had to take a computer to a place that isn't hermetically sealed" :v:
