Re: [apple-iphone] Desktop vs Laptop?

 

I'm an Optometrist and have prescribed computer/reading glasses for over 45 yrs.  If the progressive (graded lenses in your language) glasses sit in the correct position on your nose, you should not have to move your head much.  There are specific computer designed glasses that have an intermediate range on top and a near range below.  Also, there are designs that have a wider intermediate portion of the glasses in the middle whereby you wouldn't have to raise your head to see the computer.  Your eye care professional should know of all these different designs and when you give him/her your distance from your nose to your screen, they will determine the correct design to give you for your computer use.  Agreed that the iMac sits too high for a progressive lens but a special computer progressive might be the answer.

My glasses are graded...no lines. It's helped me not have to hold my head up as much to treat the computer screen. The other thing I've done is to sit higher. I have a pillow on my computer chair that helps. Love my Mac mini.

I bought a beautiful iMac about a year and a half ago and had to return it and go back to using a laptop, even though I almost never take it anywhere at all. Why? Because I have to look at the screen through the lower part of my glasses, and my neck was killing me as I raised my chin to read. I don’t want special computer glasses and face having to switch glasses all the time, so I’m back to my MBP and loving it. Besides that, swapping out parts is next to impossible either on the MacBooks or on the iMacs these days. All of that is to say that people buy and use what is good for their particular situation; I really wanted to switch to a larger screen and a less expensive Mac, but it didn’t work for me. :)

I am switching to Mac from PC and got a great deal on a DESKTOP Mac, but I been noticing

many seem to have laptops even though more expensive, much smaller screens, way harder to

type on, a lot of times even slower with a lot of times less storage. Pius hard to upgrade

yourself if you wanted to swap out parts.


I know portability is a big reason but I am trying to figure out why so many get Mac laptops

when they use them at home 99.9% or even 100%of the time?


I talked to 5-6 maybe 7 people I know and they have laptops 100% they use it at home and

never take them anywhere?????  They say they might take it here or there, but never have??  


I just don't get it???
