In need of advice
So, I bring you my first world problems: I need a new computer. The one I have is ancient (in tech life) - somewhere close to 10 years old. Opening iTunes brings the CPU to 100% capacity. Ancient, I tell you! :)
I have an iPod (also around 10 years old), a smartphone (Android) and a Kindle (just the plain-Jane version).
I work at a computer - a laptop - all day (where I am right this minute) that I also must carry home each night. For most of my computer needs - Excel, Word, etc - I can use this one. My home computer I use almost exclusively for iTunes and downloading pictures from my camera (I'm a monster photo taker on vacation). So I don't need a state-of-the-art super computer. I need something simple that can connect to the web and has enough storage for buckets of pictures (hundreds every year).
I'm not crazy about my cell phone (long story - but it's not the one I wanted). I love my Kindle but I think I'd love a tablet, too.
So many choices!!! I'm not sure which way to turn. I definitely need to replace the computer before it dies. And I probably need a backup plan for when my iPod goes. I hate to join the iPhone cult just because everyone else has (OK, not everyone, but close). However, it would solve most of my iTunes issues and I hear they are extremely reliable.
Do I really need a tablet? What kind of computer should I get? iPhone or no?
Help! All thoughts appreciated.
