  • Showdown: Samsung Galaxy Buds versus AirPods and the rumored AirPods 2

    tylersdad said:
    Let's not give these AirPod wannabes any attention. This is what made people think androids were real iPhones.
    I'm really happy that Apple Insider doesn't listen to you. While the AirPods might be perfect for some, they aren't for others. With the 2-hour talk time, they are pretty much worthless for people who use their phone to...you know...talk. 
    Not really an issue IRL, as someone who’s actually owned them for two years. First, plenty of people only talk on the phone with one ear, which doubles the talk time. Second, even if you want both, it takes minutes to recharge a pod, so if for some reason you talk for hours straight and can’t recharge inbetween calls, you can take a pod out and charge it, then do the other. Non-issue. 

    Best part of AP is mic quality. No one can tell you’re on a BT headset. 
    @AppleExposed = @Nunzy ... and will end up in the same place.

  • The new Mac mini is a great machine, but a $499 model could serve a larger audience

    Of all AI posts, those on the Mac mini always result in a huge discussion.  I know the AI readership is a small sample group and maybe even not representative, but still a possibility that Apple under-estimates the demand for this item.  Let's be honest here, the latest hardware refresh didn't constitute a massive design effort, so why did it take so many years?

    RIP Paul Allen. I went on to Microsoft website and no mention of one of their founders, how strange. I dont know much about Paul, but you dont start a multi billion dollar company unless you have talent. 

    Gary. 
    His autobiography 'Idea Man' is worth a read ... very interesting.

    He never married. I'm sure you can figure it out.
    Some people marry and don't have kids.
    Some people have kids and don't marry.
    I never married, and don't have kids (that I know of).
    What's your point?
    Exactly (I have 3 children btw).

  • Microsoft unveils Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 2 & Surface Studio 2

    I have all Apple devices at home (iEverything) except the missus likes her Sammy phone.  That works out OK as when we both take photos, usually between the phones, there is a half decent snap to be found.  Anyhow work provides a Surface Pro (no idea what model but pretty recent) and whilst that thing is no excitement machine, I don't notice it in my backpack and generally does what is expected of it.  Have noticed that the Surface Pro seems to have really good up time when on battery.  I haven't used it in tablet mode since I've had it (6 months) ... no real interest to be honest but I assume that works.  I guess if work offered a MacBook then I would go for that but at the same time I'm not going to beat up on the Surface Pro 6.
