So, with Apple trying to position the iPad as a genuine computer replacement and with the increasing adoption of ChromeOS, especially in education, I’m just...

kennethakintola Do you get the new iPad?

Heyo

fkossyvas I hear you about the walled garden. It definitely makes some things more difficult.

Heyo

Jado I enjoy Apple’s ecosystem too. I’m honestly just used to it and it’s really all my wife wants to use so it’s just easier for us both to be in it together lol. How’s the M1 pro? I really want one lol.

Jado

Heyo It’s really good! When I first got it I opened all 70 apps at once on it and it took only about a minute or so.

Heyo

Jado dang that’s amazing haha. I used to do that in the Apple store to try out the new computers. I’d just open up every app on it and see how long it took lol.

Jado

Heyo 😁

I use Windows because I like to game. Also I don’t like the Apple Ecosystem.

Sometimes I use a Linux system just for fun.

Heyo

Matthias I’m definitely more of a casual gamer so I just put Windows on my Mac and that let’s play all the games I want. Plus, I have a PlayStation 5 for the bigger stuff.
I just got a Chromebook actually and have been experimenting with Linux. Or at least the distro that’s on ChromeOS lol.

Matthias

Heyo a chromebook is something I would try out, but it is nothing I would spent money on, but that’s just because I didn’t need one. This would be a thing for university and stuff like that. But for I didn’t need it in private and I would not be allowed to use it for work.

Heyo

Matthias Yeah I only got the one I did because I sort of didn’t pay for it.

Heyo sameee, was a gift. Like y’all have said, it’s ok for little things but still doesn’t hold up against windows/Mac.

Heyo

DarkPikaJP Yeah I agree. I’m a writer and I originally got one as a secondary, more portable device than my 16-inch MacBook Pro. Long story short, I got one and I liken it to my iPad. The hardware is good and it works for about 90% of the stuff I need to do, but still can’t replace my Mac.
