(1,232 posts)this day, and I never understood why they didn't make them more fun looking, like in colors, bright colors! Same with laptops! Why not make them in pretty, fun or cool colors?
That would shake the home computer market up a bit. I have been checking out the super tiny pcs, and they're very cool, but not for the price, yet. They will come down in a couple years I guess.
I bought the PC because I needed more meat for my website and to connect it directly to my smart tv so that I can use the bigger screen for my tired eyes.
The 'problem' with mobile phones is that they're actually making them decent quality now. Touch wood, I've been a samsung gal since forever. The latest series has been touch wood, completely bug free and totally reliable. I didn't need to upgrade to the S6 Edge, but I'm glad I did, it doesn't have an accessible battery and that's much improved over the S4. I like the Edge, but aside from the camera upgrade there's no difference between the S6 and S7.
The mobile phone market is saturated, not coming to an end. We now have our computers in our pockets, but I can't build my websites on my phone, and the laptop screen is too small, even though it's a big one. I have a super mini laptop, but never use it, and a tablet I only use on the train. It's annoying to type on the screen. Hate the touch screen unless I'm playing games.
