What’s the last thing you bought online?

Ahhh, nice one Poppy!  I'm not a big fan of Apple products, but they're meant to be lovely laptops.

Thanks @66Mustang, I was very surprised too. @Albus_Scope I totally get that, not everyone likes apple. I have the iPhone and watch and love them.

Poppy, just a very small thing that may make you like the Mac and its unity with your other Apple products even more. You can set it so that when you are wearing your watch, the Mac automatically unlocks with no need for a password or fingerprint. Of course if you aren't comfortable with that you can turn the feature off, too.

All this talk of Apple and Macbooks ... I'm a Windows person but have leaned that Mac are indestructible.

My daughter drove over her bag with an iPad and Mac book in ... Mac book got a scuffed back, iPad got a slight curve but both working perfectly.  Bag ruined with a six inch chunk missing out of it and makeup and satsumas squished

I dropped a Windows laptop from 3foot and got a cracked screen

@WelshBlue I can well imagine. There was a story about 15 years ago of someone being shot at while working on their MacBook and it saved them from the bullet...

That's awesome, thank you. I wouldn't have any problems setting it up like that as i only live with my daughter who i trust of course. I may have to hid it from my grandson though even though he's already got an ipad.

Am i also correct in thinking that i can only send a text from the macbook as well instead of from my phone?

66Mustang

Yes Poppy you can send texts from the Mac, I do it all the time! I believe you can make phone calls from it as well though have never tried this as I very rarely use the phone.

poppy123456

Thanks Mustang, i love the idea of that because my phone can be annoying at times when texting because of the small keys and nearly always mistype something.

I switched to Mac well over a decade ago and have not gone back. I do still like Windows, and can see the point in it - it has its place, but for my use, I am also an Apple convert.

I decided to look back as I couldn't quite remember...I am on my 8th MacBook!!  

I know that sounds expensive but these computers hold their value and I have sold 5 of my previous ones when I upgraded, so recouped a significant proportion of the money. If you consider a Windows laptop is more or less worthless after a few years and a MacBook is still worth several hundred, it hasn't really cost me more than owning Windows machines.

I've just bought a powerbank, so I can at least still stay in touch with people and work if the power goes out again.

(Which apparently it will as we're still on a backup generator )

Last thing I purchased on line was a book, or I should say books. 

One was about the battle at Monte Cassino in WWII (My Dad was there) and the second was about spies and spy craft in the English Civil War....

Thank you @Ada.
Hope you're having a good day?
