I am virtually retired here, but I welcome replies from all: remote workers, teachers, those employed in Vietnam, businesspersons, even digital nomads and backpackers.
I've been lugging my HP Envy 17" laptop around the country, mostly because it offers an online interface for some rare needs (chatting with Schwab Bank, accessing some stateside website settings not available through apps) but I'm now considering trading it in for a tablet, or going with my android smartphone alone.
Has anyone else gotten rid of your laptop device and lived to be happy with the decision?
How did you go about wiping all of your data from the hard drive (specifically Windows 8.1) while still leaving the unit accessible and useable by the future owner?
My lodgings have always had one or more PC's available for use, and it's not hard to locate coffee shops and shared business spaces that offer the use of a computer.
Six months ago I wouldn't have imagined giving up 16GB of RAM for any reason, but I think the whole world is going increasingly mobile and ethereal.
Since I bought my first desktop PC in 1992, I've tended to think and act ahead of the curve in all things computer related.
So I'm also asking for predictions: are laptops in general going to disappear in favor of virtual reality devices implanted in our skulls?
If so, how are YOU positioning yourself (in Southeast Asia) to take advantage of new options in computers on the horizon?
