Hi, Leading on from the where to you listen thread got me thinking, most common answer was commuting, I am thinking of getting a new commute device but not sure which route to go.
There is the ultra portable full blown but light weight laptop option, Macbook Air style. Toshiba and others do alternatives iPad or equivalent? Netbook. I currently have an old 2008 MacBook Pro which is a) heavy b) sluggish so no longer take this on the train commute, I currently listen to podcasts etc... on my iPhone and read articles on Instapaper, I could do all this much more comfortably on an iPad possibly with downloads of Parleys.com (I have noticed not all are available for iPad though). My concern is for this money I could get a netbook that could do this (is Instapaper downloadable on Linux/OSX/Windows?) as well as playing with small code projects. I think I've already talked myself out of the ultra portable laptop as I have a nice i7 16GB desktop at home for proper playing and this is only needed for commuting. I would be interested to know other peoples ideas for commuting toys, I am in the UK so some US toys like the Amazon Fire are not available yet. If I go netbook, which one? Ideas.
