    Once again, not looking for a pc vc apple debate but more a way to minimise and reuse devices.
    I too have had many years of having to rebuild/refresh and reload PC gear as devices slowly grind to a halt with updates and incompatible drivers.
    Time for a new start and a new experience.
    Pretty much sold now on a Mac Mini as a base station/hub for the house and pairing that up with mobile devices. Looking at my needs in detail I can't think of a time when I really needed a laptop away from the house. 99% of the time email, browsing, banking are my main needs. The only thing I can think I would need a laptop out of the house for would be for the ease and speed of transferring files via card or USB drive.

    Ah, you guys are making me smile again. As I said, I do really like it, not love it yet but that's because of some of these little frustrations. I was hoping it'd last me 5+ years easily.
    No debate going on here Ashes, just expressing past experiences with both. Where would we be without either - takes a long time to do this stuff by hand. Basically all computers these days are super fast and versatile.
    I also wanted to experience a different way of doing things but I just didn't realise how different they really are

    Ashes,

    If you want fast file transfer get a Drop Box subscription (free). My dad is finalising his second book and I am doing the layout and graphics. We both share the same files via drop box. Easy. Fast. Hassle free. No need for laptop and Drop box is supported on iPad as well as all other devices. Other than that Apple's iCloud ain't bad but Dropbox has better sharing capability.

    For email and surfing while running around we use the iPad...
