2016 Windows 10 Machine has become ridiculously slow. Used to start in about 30-seconds, now takes 3-4 minutes to boot from cold start. When I start it from sleep mode it actually runs pretty quick but it's windows so reboots are required periodically. Last night I make sure everything was backed up and did a reset of W10. It deleted all aps but kept my personal files. Got most of my software reinstalled all in less than a hour. It seems to be running better but through the last few months I'd been thinking of buying a new Mac in lieu of the W10 reset. Wanted a faster machine than I have now (don't recall the specs off the top of my head).
Then realized I hardly use the desktop any more. At least 75% of my home computer use is actually on a tablet and my wife as well. Answering emails, web browsing, shopping, maybe watching Netflix is done on an iPad or even our phones. The only thing I use the PC for anymore is photo and video editing but that is going to take a steep downward curve by next fall. Last kid is going off the college, and while I'll still use my camera, 75% of it was shooting my kids playing sports.
Thought about maybe getting an iPad pro so I can keep up with photo/video edit (understand the SSD size limits but I'm utilizing Aggienetwork gmail for back up storage and also have O365 subscription through work so I can use that as a 2nd storage location). Unfortunately, PS Elements doesn't exist on the iPad, only the PS Subscription model and I simply do not utilize the photo editing software enough to justify a subscription.
Other than work, does anyone else use a desktop or laptop at home anymore?
