Since this is talking about chargers for dell systems, Is there anyone out there that makes a USB C on one end and Dell Barrel on the other? So we can use smaller charging blocks? I travel alot and have a travel charger I bought off Amazon some years ago, but its starting to show it's age and I cannot find a replacement.

Got my linux dell back running as well. i think it's a sleep function issue. Either way, I am so happy not to be typing on the logitech iPad keyboard. That's the worst. No way I could do that full time. My Linux box is an 11 inch dell 2 in 1 and the keyboard is way roomier than the keyboard for the iPad. I am happy for now that I have something other than the ipad. I could not see me using that full time for anything other than reading magazines. I will be moving it to my son and selling his 9th gen to fund an acer iconia X12 tablet bundle. I am an android user so might as well steer into that skid.

I got my laptop back up and running. I did a "repair" on the system when it came up on the screen. Most time it's just a black screen but this time it booted to support assist repair. Dunno. Got me baffled. Seems software related as once it's up and running it works fine.

The iPad for what I have been doing is decent. There are a few things I cannot do or, don’t know how to do. But they are minor in nature. I am going to download lumafusion for video editing to see how it goes.

And it’s down again. Garbage. Thankfully, I got my iPad back working correctly after a borked beta update. I am back on release updates now and It’s going to be my main pc moving forward. See how it goes.

2.5. Got my linux machine back up and running again. Dunno what happened there.

Well well well. It seems as if we are going to find out if my iPad can be used as a daily driver notebook. My dell laptop crapped the bed yesterday morning. That’s 3 in the past month. Note to everyone, DON’T BUY DELL. My main laptop died, my linux system died and my wife’s dell laptop died. Just waiting for my desktop to croak now. Thank dog I never bought a g series for my son. My new system will be arm based for sure. Not sure if I am going to the dark side with a new MacBook Air or a surface laptop. I will have to wait until the new year either way so The iPad 10th gen will be getting a work out. I will be replacing my current Logitech keyboard with the new zagg version for better keyboard work.

Thats the fun with android. Choice. Check out vivo, red magic and their parent company, as well as nothing. I am taken by the nothing lineup lately just for their quirky style and minimal and futuristic OS. Very cool.

There are always flaws with the flawless devices. ha ha.

I am going to say yes. They "dell" have gotten worse in the past few years for support. I was a dell fan, now, not so much. 3 of my Dell laptops have wake issues where they don't turn on or just fire up with black screen. It's a known problem via many people on their support site and Dell are offering no fix or remedy. I am figuring you will have to contact them and do a transfer to keep said warranty intact.

I have both the P8P and the s25 Ultra, I prefer the 8 pro in every single way. I hate all the garbage in the OneUI Skin. We both (my wife and I) use Microsoft launcher to get rid of the google search bar, and add icon packs. Other than that all that whizbang'ery of OneUi is added bloat. We get through a day of heavy use without issue and I have never had a slow down because of a "slow" processor. Benchmarks don't me a fiddlers fart in real world use. As proven by my laptop benching better on affinity photo with my Xe Graphics from 2020 vs a radeon 890m from 2025.

It is but we keep our systems for a long time. My current dell is from 2020 and in all honesty, I do love the system. The issue is I have to fight some times to turn it on. Meaning there is a software issue dell refuses to fix on their laptops. You press the power button and it either does not produce graphics display or it does for a second and goes black or distorted. I have to boot my system 3 or 4 times to get it to work. It's a known dell laptop issue, and 3 of ours are affected. No bios updates etc fix it. There are many many reports of this issue on the Dell forums and there are no fixes. Then, I am looking at the current state of windows as well. The software I will be using is available on Mac for the most part with one program available on windows, Mac OS and android. Supposedly there is a web based version as well. So that would be my only stumbling point. I only have 2 laptops on the windows side that would work for me which is the Razer 14 and the Asus proart/G 16. I am missing items with both. Plus with the price of both of them I could get 2 macbook air's configured the way I want for both of us. The iPad I have now is working fine and doing the things I need. Would more power be better for my creative work? sure, but if I got the macbook it would be a great companion device.

My wife and I are starting something new here, so I will be purchasing two new laptops and desktops for us asap. I am doing some research. I have my iPad already for in the field use. I think it will work for now. I am seriously looking at moving to the "darkside" for our pcs. think I am wanting to try something new and apple has it. I won't be getting rid of my pixel devices, but I am seriously looking at a new ipad, macbook and imac for her and a new macbook and mini pro for me. I really don't know at this time. Windows pcs are all over the place now where I see no benefit of buying one over a mac. There use to be lots of benefits like upgrades when you are ready, software compatibility etc. Now it's you are buying a windows macbook without the high quality.

My printer is actually wifi I probably can get a dock but no software to run the scanner. I use it to scan 35mm and 120mm film from my film cameras . I am typing this on the iPad now and enjoying the experience. I have to figure out what I need for my business software and go from there.

Not for these printers and scanners no. it's all via USB.
