2nd May 2023
After over 15 years of using Apple Mac’s as my primary home computer (supported by various Apple iPads’s) my most recent iMac gave up the ghost last week, and just refused to connect to the internet anymore, where by WI-FI or Ethernet.
After 6 years of use, it has served me well, and was still more than meeting my needs, but I did expect and was hoping that I would get another year or two out of it.
I am pretty sure it cannot be repaired, although I am sure that there would be someone, somewhere that could repair it.
Having a regular backup schedule meant that my data was safe, and this episode was more of an inconvenience than a disaster.
TOP TIP : DO YOUR BACKUPS
But sometimes, things happen for a reason, and, for me, this provides an opportunity to change my approach to home computing.
I have closely followed discussion in computing Community’s, especially various Apple Community’s for a while, on whether Tablets can become laptop or desktop replacements.
And of course the answer is, it depends on what you want to do.
As a regular user and big fan of iPads, I am pretty certain a high spec iPad would do the job for me.
In the next Blog I will document the thought process and result.
Thanks for reading.
