The MacBook Air is Still a Great Computer

The MacBook Air is Still a Great Computer
 Sleek And Beautiful
 Ports We Have Them
 
That Glow Means Quality

Let’s look at the MacBook Air. For those who still use the ports (and yes that’s most of us) the MacBook Air has ports. A standard USB port is a standard for most laptops still being manufactured today. Almost any external device supports USB and we almost always back-up our files on a USB drive. I still use a USB drive myself. I feel a “but” coming on here, but, do we really need to use a USB drive anymore?

I love my MacBook Air, I really do. It has enough power and that Apple logo that glows on the back of the screen is truly a statement that makes people realize it’s an Apple. The Air is a little outdated when it comes to the screen, the keyboard, and now the trackpad as well. The price of the device is a huge selling point for those who want a MacBook but don’t want to pay the premium prices demanded by Apple. I honestly found my MacBook Air for $500 at a local pawnshop. 

This past week I went to BestBuy and saw that the brand new Air is offered at $749 and thought to myself that Apple must just want to keep it around for a quick buck. The screen as I mentioned above, is not the Retina display Apple so rightfully brags about in all of its advertisements, but is still a great screen. The trackpad (though not the force touch trackpad) is still an amazingly accurate trackpad that has a true high class feel when using it. The reviews on the new “Butterfly mechanism” keyboards on the MacBook Retina and MacBook Pro are split. I’ve noticed you either love it or hate it. I love it. The Air doesn’t have this type of keyboard so for those who have tried and didn’t like the new keyboard, then the Air is for you. 


Would I steer anyone away from buying a new MacBook Air? No, I would still recommend this computer for anyone who wants a new MacBook. I would recommend this computer to anyone who needs a computer for school, work, or even just an around the house family computer. The MacBook Air is still just as stunning and efficient as it ever was. Some articles complain about the fact that Apple hasn’t updated this computer in a few years, but I feel like there is a reason for this, it doesn’t need updated. My MacBook Air is in fact a “2014” model and it does an excellent job at everyday tasks. Don’t fix what doesn’t need fixed, right?

ONN 7 inch Tablet Review

-

The Surf Onn Gen 2 7 inch tablet from Walmart is exactly what you'd expect from a Walmart tablet. The screen is decent but not great and the apps tend to crash from time to time. I bought the base model for $49 and got 2gb of RAM and 16gb of internal storage that was actually 11 from the pre installed apps.  As for usage the tablet performed well enough to be considered a nice entry level tablet and I feel the kids could use this as a cheap dedicated YouTube machine. Although folks who already have a taste for the big boy toys like the iPad or Samsung tablets may find this to be a toy.  Would I recommend this for anyone? Yes, surprisingly I would. This is a perfect entry level tablet for those who have a tight budget and need a machine to get online with for school, entertainment, kids enjoyment, or to simply apply to jobs, email, and other personal needs. This tablet will get the job done as long as its light work.

I’m Attending Southern New Hampshire University Online

 Hello friends. I’ve been doing some thinking lately. Although I do have a job it’s just a part time job and that leaves me with some free time. The job that I have isn’t the job that I’d like to retire from for sure. I just haven’t been happy with where my life has taken me. I felt it was time to make a few changes. Well I got online and looked for the best online colleges that I could find. I found a few and even tried one that didn’t work out.  Southern New Hampshire University seemed to be a good fit. The cost was dramatically less than other online schools. It does have a brick and mortar school that can be attended. And the reviews for the school aren’t all horrible. In other words it isn’t a diploma mill.  I’m only in my first class so far and it is a class about cultural diversity. I guess that’s a pretty good class for someone majoring in psychology. I’ve learned all about communicating with someone from a different culture than me. Culture could mean anything from race, sexua

Overcoming Depression

This week I decided to continue a series on depression. There are ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Finding a hobby or simply petting an animal can help overcome severe depression. In this video I discuss ways to overcome depression and help relieve some of the symptoms. I am no doctor nor am I a therapist but I live with chronic depression and bipolar disorder. I've lived with this since I was fourteen and I am now forty three. I know what depression is and I know what helps me. Sometimes depression wins while other times I can manage to force myself into doing something. I feel better after I use the tips from the video. Please watch and don't forget to subscribe.
