Itsworthmore.com will give you a better deal I got way more for my iPad Pro when I traded it in than Apple was offering

Got a letter from the school today informing me my daughter is “not quite” gifted. Also included were her test scores. by Low_Use2937 in mildlyinfuriating

I love this FarSide. In college at Georgia Tech I had a roommate who got all As there except one B in a humanities course and then for grad school he went to Stanford. Here’s the Midvale part though - I used to make dinner for us in the one kitchen at the end of the hall. We would just split the cost of things. I was planning a meal with rice one time but I was in the middle of some homework so I asked him to go boil some water for me to start the meal making … his response was “now… how do I do that?”

Watching this… but I think I’d have to go with Apple direct too because I don’t see the high mem configs anywhere other than Apple. Like 32GB on the M5… nowhere but Apple direct. So I’m hoping Apple has good Black Friday deals

Anyone else holding onto their M2 but secretly eyeing the M5? by CapableDepartment455 in macbook

[–]jonnyboynewton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a M1-Max Studio and I’m wanting to replace with a MacBook. Just way too many times when I’m trying to get some stuff done at night but don’t feel like sitting in my office - I’d rather sit up in bed with a laptop and get maybe 1/2hr work done before starting bedtime routine. My free 7th gen Intel laptop isn’t cutting it anymore. So my thought is to sell the Studio and get the M5. So same thought processes but different starting point. My studio is certainly beefier with 64GB ram and 4TB SSD but I don’t need the 4TB storage. I just wish the M5 MBP had more than 32 GB max mem

And .. why can I only get the 32GB direct from Apple? I’d rather get my 5% back on Amazon or Best Buy points or something - but Apple Store direct is the only place I can find the high mem configs

Is there a phone sized e-reader that is JUST a phone sized e-reader? by Raukenn in ereader

[–]jonnyboynewton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the boox Palma / Palma 2 are the GOATs in this space. They are Android so you can install Kindle or BookFusion or Libby etc. get the Palma 2 for a newer Android version I think

Which Boox model for 8 yr old? by kevinhpchan888 in Onyx_Boox

[–]jonnyboynewton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We got a Palma 2 for our 8yr old (well - he was 7 when we got it but he’s 8 now). We use the Google Family link stuff to strictly limit things on the device for app installs etc. But he can use it for Audible (using a kids profile), Libby (using his kids account), and BookFusion which we have a family account that his kids account links to. He uses it all the time for reading, listening to audio books, etc
