why are parents so obsessed with getting their kids to shut up for half an hour, just raise them by paying attention to them for literally every waking hour of their lives and never letting them see a screen or use a computer ever

the ipad isn't a bad computer, it's a good computer with some definite limits on it that both restrict its usefulness but also make it actually easy for an average person to use and own and many people only hit those limits occasionally

I have a car analogy lined up if this is too confusing of a concept

oh i mean work computer not home computer
the ipad is a really good home computer for most people

This is probably the point where they push more malware through Windows Update that makes Windows 7 absolutely loving terrible to wincourage you to upgrade to windows 10

the way things are going, i'm going to keep using windows 7 on my desktop computer for as long as it works and if it breaks, it's the year of the linux desktop for me, baby!

there is nothing i need to do on this computer that i can't also do on linux. even the few video games i play on computer have linux versions these days.

just in case you ever have kids, I think you should know that even very young children are capable of independent activity that has nothing to do with an iPad

10 years ago the intel macbook pro existed and pentium m had been around for a couple of years. before that though i'll agree because p4/p4m based laptops were hilarious thick slabs with battery lives measured in seconds.

i was kind of disappointed that a new xps 13 only does 4-5 hours off the battery. i don't know if that's a dell thing or a windows thing, but its the difference between having to carry a charger around and not compared to mthe macbook air i had previously.

4-5 hours between charges is enough for almost anything i ever do with a laptop.

if it's not connected, it's probably because i have taken it to a meeting in some conference room. if that meeting goes on for more than 4 hours, i will probably kill myself anyway and don't need a laptop anymore.

true, its more for those times where i find myself stuck on a clients site for longer than i expected. although hopefully usb type-c charging will become as common as lightning and magsafe adapters are so it wont be a big deal.

It will be common, but laptop manufacturers will DRM their USB ports so only their charger will actually charge the device (see: HP currently).

Oh yeah, in ten years they'll still be shittier than a laptop for doing work on, so I don't know what your point is.

(People have been doing "real work" on laptops since the eighties, your memory is bad.)
