That's a great setup!Â How do you find your laptop, do you find that you use it as a 2-in-1 much, or just as a laptop mostly? As for your 6TB My Book's, I need something like that myself, but I was looking at something like [Login to see the link]Â - I like the fact that is has a built in SD card reader + wifi, so that I can wirelessly stream and store to it, as well as backing up my photography quickly and easily out on the move.

Also, as a side note, how do you find your Blaze? I actually looked at that a while back, but couldn't make my mind up. Also didn't like the charger for it tbh.

The Blaze honestly has been great for me, I bought it from Amazon last year. I don't disagree with the charger, seems a bit edgy for me as well.

Thanks for your reply. Looking to upgrade my own laptop to be honest, so likely will end up trawling Amazon, unless ofcourse you have any suggestions of laptops around Â£500-600 As for the wireless harddrive I am becoming evermore tempted. Though this will likely have to wait until I get a little bit more expendable money, as what with my laptop replacement and a few other things that I need I am running a little low!Â

I actually see more and more people using the Blaze now, one of my friends who I meet in France has got one I noticed, and she says it's great. (She uses it for marathon training currently).

My laptop is now on the Fast ring Windows Insider, allowing me to test the latest builds before release and will also contain most popular browsers such as Opera, Firefox and Chrome to allow me to make sure the websites work perfectly for each browser. Even if I favor a browser, I prefer to get as many lovely customers who would want a product! (This also means no siding with iOS and Android!!!) The laptop is the same thing as I have previously mentioned in my post a couple months ago. A few changes I've done was getting a new monitor to replace my secondary monitor (it was a 1366x768 monitor) while the new one is IPS technology, more colour and the same size as my other monitor which is 1920x1080. And last but not least: a phone and iPad Pro to test and make sure website functionality works fantastic for mobile! :p

Some great changes! I'll have to post the changes to my own setup some time :) I find myself using my iPad less and less, is it the same for yourself, other than for testing purposes?

As for your laptop being in the fast ring, that's a good idea so that you can get ahead of competition and try out new features that you could perhaps extend and develop for your software solutions! Thanks for keeping us all posted! :)

Honestly, I don't use my iPad Pro for anything other than to watch Twitch and of course testing purposes. Other than that, nothing else really. On top of that, I spent $100 USD for the pencil and $150 for the keyboard... and it is that useless.

Ouchers! My brother uses his for work, but he paid for the pencil and keyboard, and says he'd take the keyboard any day of the week, the pencil he says is useless...

That's actually a very good point. I might nab his and see what I think of the pencil.Â I did consider it in the past, but the amount that I would use a pen during my personal design work wouldn't warrant the cost of it.
