Completely agree – after spending thousands over the years on PCs, my phone, tablet and a chrome browser are where I spend 99% of my computer time outside work. Stratechery also posted a great piece on the reduction complexity in computing and the disruption that Chromebooks are causing the likes of Microsoft
I’m not entirely sure how many different computers I’ve owned throughout the years, but I know it’s a lot. More than a dozen. Maybe two dozen? Right now I own an iMac (with a second monitor on my desk), a Retina MacBook Pro (my main personal machine), and a MacBook Air (my work machine).
Yes, that alone is ridiculous. But it’s even more ridiculous when you throw in all the various iDevices (and a couple Android devices) I own as well. I feel the urge to streamline. But I’m not quite ready to just yet. I think I’m going to buy one more computer this year. And I have a suspicion that this may be the last year I ever do that.
