I'm wondering what kind of portable computer you'd have if money was no object, if you could have any computer in the world.

I was so thrilled for a long with the iPod Touch 3 that I got in 2010, until the apps stopped working & it could no longer be synced because the machines it had been synced with were long dead.

@Euphoria I would choose a Pixel Chrome with SSD and lots of RAM and firepower ;)

@Goofyman Interesting. I seem to have a (perhaps unwarranted) aversion to anything Chrome. I will have another look at the Pixel Chrome.

@Euphoria I have an aversion to anything apple ;) I am not a fan of apple not because of its shinny devices, but I have this obsession to free and open web as tim burners lee has envisioned. by the way, Pixel Chromebook was the best, but maybe not best today on the market after two or three years.

@Goofyman I also seem to have an aversion to Apple products now, which is ironic, as I was a very loyal Apple user since the mid-Eighties.

Thanks for the update about the Pixel Chromebook. I'm wondering how different devices age, too.

@Euphoria About Chromebooks, they are alternative computing device, which work like charm if you have fast speed connection to internet because you don't even need a hard drive, everything is stored on Google Drive. It is nerdy and polished and you stand out from icrowds.

@Goofyman Ah, yes, thank you for reminding me why it wouldn't work for me. Fast, reliable Internet is not something I have available and I really need local storage. capabilities. Even my Kindle Fire has a microSD slot.

@Goofyman I don't actually live on an island, though I do live in the tropics. At times it seems like paradise, even when something that can be annoying, like being without Internet or power, ends up leading to something wonderful. One must be very flexible to be happy living in such a way.

@Euphoria Paradise means off the grid, doesn't it? :grinning:

@Goofyman It does to me!

@Goofyman Of course it's very nice to be able to interact with people in other parts of the world, too. I lived without it for years, and I'm really enjoying it now.
