Should You Get a Chromebook Or a Windows Laptop?

Before reading this blog post, I recommend reading " The Pros and Cons of Using a Chromebook ", which is figuring out the pros and cons based on my experience of using both! But now, I will look at it in more detail, and try to figure out what is best for most people, and find what computer is best for you based on what purpose you use it for! Please note that I can't choose one choice for everybody. So, first, let's look at home use. What if you just use your computer for watching TV shows and movies at night? Well, a Windows laptop would be overkill for what you are doing with your computer! If that's all you do, just buy a budget detachable Chromebook! Currently, your best option is a Lenovo Chromebook Duet with 64 gigabytes for $279 dollars! It unlaptops into a tablet, so you can always laptop it and do the occasional work-in-bed! Now, what if you play games a lot? Well, a Windows laptop is the best option, as Chromebook gaming isn't that popular with gam

The Pros and Cons of Using a Chromebook

So, my computer habits keep on changing! From Summer 2018 to Christmas 2019, I used an Asus Chromebook C223. I'm not completely sure about that, but I went to the now-hidden Shop section of the Chromebook website, chose Laptop as the device type and Asus as the brand, and that one looked the most like the one I have. Here is the exact model ! Then, for Christmas 2019, I got the Acer Chromebook R11. The first blog post made with it was " Bloxels is really Fun! ", and the last is " Back to School, Virtually ". This is most likely the shortest-used computer that I have owned! Nowadays, the computer belongs to Philip, my brother. He never uses it, however. He mostly uses his iPad for everything. But, back to the Acer Chromebook R11. I used it until October 2020 when I got the Acer Spin 3, and then I used that until November 3, 2021 when I got the Pixelbook Go that I am typing this on right now! So, now we get to the name of this blog post. "The Pros and Cons of

4 Years of Blogging: From tommys6 to TechyTommy

So, I've been blogging for 4 years! So, let's look back at my blogging history. First, Tommys6  (warning: ads) (stylized as tommys6 sometimes) was launched. And then "Tommy Blog" was published. Here's the blog post: Today Is Music Day Yes, that's the blog post. Here's a screenshot, as of 6/10/22: So, you know that I wasn't the best at UI (user interface) and UX (user experience) design back when I last updated it. And it kept on getting better and better! In 2018, I posted Topics, Camp Out, Meet Missy, Abbreviations in Email, PBS KIDS Pinkalicious and Peterific, Reading:Starting Your Own Blog, Protected: Letter (I'll show it later in this blog post), New Greeting, Movie Day!, Movie Day Movie and DVD, Class Helpers 2018, The School Story Web, If your computer screen go's sideways, Life's Little Lessons Keynote Live, Target Voteing Winer, Silly Words And Jokes And Rhymes, Earth Day Fun For Your Kids, A FUN Website For Your Kids (All Ages), SC

My New Reading Device: Kindle Paperwhite

So, all the way back in October, I got a Kindle Paperwhite! And I've been using it frequently ever since! So, what does it look like? So, the Kindle is intended as a reading device. It can also handle audiobooks, but I don't have any to test. But the Kindle can do a lot more. It can go onto the store to buy and download books and audiobooks. But, there is Goodreads! But the best part is the web browser. But, the display technology makes it unusable for most tasks. And I ended up making my own Kindle unusable because of my own blog post . Don't click the link on a Kindle no matter what. However, there is an easier way to get websites onto a Kindle, of any kind. Send-To-Kindle! Just install Send-To-Kindle for Google Chrome, and you can send any sites to your Kindle, including my favorite blog post, "Google Meet vs Zoom: What Meeting Program is Better?". No images, but it feels like a magazine article now! So, the Kindle Paperwhite is a bad internet device because of
