"While I like my new iPad, especially when I am using it with the “Knit Companion” app, I have found that my laptop has more functionality with programs such as Blogger and iMovie". After struggling to write that post, (using the iPad it took me twice as long) I decided to return the iPad and exchange it for a laptop. I chose the MacBook Air and I love it!
As I mentioned in that previous post, my 8 year old MacBook Air would not hold a charge, hence the need for a new device.
After receiving my new laptop, I began to wonder if the battery on my old laptop could be replaced. I googled and found that I could buy a new battery for about $40. But who would install it? I searched on YouTube and found a video on how to change the battery on the model of laptop that I had. It looked simple enough.
I ordered the battery on Amazon. It came two days later complete with the tools I needed.
I followed the clear instructions of the YT video and was able to install a new battery in my old laptop.
So now Ross has a "new" laptop too. 😀

I know! I made the right decision. :)
DeleteWow! Good for you! My husband wondered with his old laptop if he could get a new battery for it. Now I'll have to tell him to check into it and maybe he could and then he would have a backup one. I am so used to typing on a regular size keyboard that my fingers are too "fat" for laptops and I end up making lots of typos, so I need to replace mine, and will just go with a desktop.

Yes, I am quite happy with my new laptop. I was surprised at how easy it was to change the battery on the laptop. I'm sure your husband would have no trouble. I get what you mean about "fat" fingers. It's the problem I have with my phone.
DeleteNow you can return the MacBook and get the iPad again... No? I suppose that's more trouble than it's worth.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think a return would not be worth it.
