Pretty smooth for me means I don’t want lags. I needed a laptop that could handle all my tasks pretty smoothly, but still manage to look very good. Editing videos was now a pain since the YouTube channel now has more demands. The HP though very excellent was slowing down my workflow.
Fourth, also this is something the Mac has helped me realise: the battery was not that great.Ī couple of months ago, I decided I needed something more powerful.
Especially my type of typing where I want to sit down and let my thoughts flow to the keyboard.
Thirdly, this is something I only realised when I changed to the Mac: the keyboard wasn’t good for long periods of typing. I mean yes I edited way over 50 videos with that machine, but exports took quite long, and the device would also really heat up during such tasks. The performance though quite good for daily tasks failed me in one area – editing videos. For one, the bezels were to big, though they sort of always faded while you used the device. Throughout the period of use, it only fell once – because obviously duh! But never did I face any serious Windows OS issues with it, never did I dislike it – though there are many instances where I wondered how it would have been having the XPS 13.Īnyway, saying I loved it doesn’t mean there are things I didn’t like. Except when late last year it decided to misbehave, and I had to get a battery replacement early this year. I could carry it anywhere, use it everywhere, and rely on it to do most of my tasks easily. It was very very very thin, and would fit in everywhere. (That’s weird – saying I fell in love with a laptop, yuck) But yeah, I loved it. But Avechi did me dirty, and I had to get the HP. And saying this even sounds funny when I remember that it wasn’t the laptop I wanted originally when I bought it at the beginning of 2018. I can’t point out one reason, to be honest.
If there’s one piece of gadget I’ve really loved – of all the numerous tech gadgets I use – it is my HP Spectre 13.
