The Air to me is like a bigger heavier iPhone.
The big reason where it stands out against the other tablet is their exclusive apps. A lot of apps still come out for Apple's iOS first or even exclusively. Right now, if you own an iOS device, you can play Plants vs. Zombies 2, Clash of Clans and Worms 3, but Android owners can't. I got the Air mainly for that reason. Anything else, I can do on a laptop.
I enjoyed Hay Day a lot better on the iPad than my small screen iphone 5.
I still need to get a screen protector and case for mine. Where are you planning to get your iPad gears from?
Hamster, I like windows too. iPad Air, screen resolution is very good and bright. Very light weighted and as always look is very rich and it's slippery. The screen felt different. It felt like soft nor hard when press the icon or input text. Totally different experience compare to my Android Tablet. Hunnie, did feel the softness of the iPad Air's screen?
Hunnie, I read somewhere thatiPad Air has LED flash, how do u enable it? I took picture last night and no flash flashing.
I also ordered iPhone 5s gold but I might cancel because I can't jailbreak (hack) it. With jailbreak, i can tether data. I might kept my HTC One S since it's rooted (hack) and able to tether for free. Tether mean you use your phone as a hotspot to connect to iPad/Tablet anywhere as long your phone is with you.
I don't think i will get a screen protector because it will de-grade plus iPad Air came with extra coasting forwater resistance. For the case, i might get it from ebay. I never like Amazon cuz it's hard to tell where the seller is from or how much it cost with shipping until u pay first. If I do see one i like, I will post it here. If u see one please do it

I finally made up my mind and order the EX2F 12.4MP SMART Camera (White) from Samsung.com
So exited, can't wait to get it through the mail. I hate having it ship to my house due to lost packages issue but BestBuy was sold on it and I rather buy it from the website than a third party seller. Can't wait to take some great picture for the holidays.

I think it's time for me to upgrade on my desktop. I want to get a gaming desktop, saw one on BestBuy. Wondering if you guys think it's good to go with that pick.

I got a free desktop for my dad by signing up for verizon. I never like all those junk pre-installedl and plus the system backup files. So I always reformat and do a clean installation. No junk and system restore backup disabled. Making his pc more faster and more storage. I create an Admin and user account. Only Admin can do the installation or removal. This is to prevent unknown installation and could affect pc to have adware/spyware. If the user infected, it will not infect the Admin acct. Admin can remove infected acct and create a new one. PC will be as good as before
iPad Air is nice and light weighted. I just don't like photo quality compare to my android phone. When view picture and did a zoom, i can see pixel. Android is clear of pixel. I guess for now that's the disadvantage.
Wifi range is very good. I can still connect to my home wifi a block from my house. no skip. Yep, screen felt like liquid when pressing, kewl.
Might get this for keyborad: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ultrath...7103&st=Ultrathin Keyboard ipad air&cp=1&lp=1

I'm not a fan of the camera either. Probably won't be using it at all. The keyboard seems good, you should wait a little to see if it goes on sale first.
I'm probably getting that desktop but will do the clean installation that you posted in the forum.

get some techie.. I will post Windows8.1 Pro soon
Just purchase a SanDisk - Pixtor 64GB microSDHC Class 10 Memory Card for my Samsung camera that I ordered.
BestBuy is having it on sale for 64.99 retail price at 99.99
A little more saving than the 32gb so I decided to just get the big one.

better to buy parts and put it together yourself .....way cheaper and way better performance and quality...

I'm sure it can be done. Do your research. If people can build balloons that go up into space, I'm sure Hamster can put together a laptop by himself. Just last year, I bought 3 grands worth of computer parts and assembled it by myself using one hand (the other hand was broken). It can be done with the right motivation and skill.But Hamster is looking for a laptop. How he going to put together a laptop?

Some people prefer buying a finished product though. I understand. I wouldn't want to buy a bunch of car parts and put them together by myself.
For a laptop right now, it's better to just buy one because of the time and laptop from what I know is more technical. It's not simple like a desktop. You'll going to have to guide him through the whole step.
