Back to iPad 2

I know it's been a while since I've blogged about anything, but I'm back. I have used a number of computers in my life and have narrowed it down to what fits me best. I think that anyone looking to use tech should search for reliability and affordability.

I have a 2013 11" MacBook Air and it works just as it did in 2013, but even though it is small and portable, I found myself wanting something less powerful and more portable. Like many people, I use my smartphone a majority of the time. I had an iPhone 3GS, then the iPhone 4 and decided to switch to Android because they had bigger screens. I now use an "old" Samsung Galaxy S5 and it is good enough for me but I do miss having the apps I paid for when I had an iPhone and an iPad 3 briefly before I sold it.

I know the iPad sales are down and people aren't buying one every year, but I noticed my wife's iPad 2 is slow but still working. I also heard that the iPad 2 was still the most used iPad still going strong in 2016. So, after I pondered these things and realized I could get a used one for cheap on Amazon, I decided to get an iPad 2.

I have used the iPad 2 16GB version and realized I would need the 32GB and that's what I got.

I may upgrade in the future, but I'll save money and wait for Apple to really impress me.

Air Hogs Sharpshooter Battery

So, I have an Air Hogs Sharpshooter and I enjoy flying it, but the battery takes 30 min. to charge and only last 4-5 min. for flying. I decided to open it up and see what battery I currently have, so I can get a better one. The battery that is in the Air Hogs Sharpshooter is a 3.7V 140mAh LiPo battery. Now, I have to decide what battery to buy. I have seen 400mAh to 700mAh batteries. Hopefully, I will get the right battery to extend my flight time.

Nintendo Switch OLED in 2023

 So, I’ve been a gamer since the early 80’s and have owned many systems. Lately, I bought a Nintendo Switch OLED. I had the cheaper Nintendo Switch a couple of years ago and didn’t like it, but recently I played my niece’s OLED Switch and enjoyed it. I like portable gaming better than TV gaming because I can take it with me around the house and outside. I also like the docking ability when I want a bigger screen, and while I play docked, it will be charged and ready to go. Nintendo really did a great job with the OLED model. We’ll see if they release a newer Switch in the coming years.  Right now, they are still releasing new games, so I think we’re good for now.
