You’re going soft, mac. Your shotguns not good enough for you anymore?

looking at getting a sony alpha a6000 camera/similar type of camera. i see sams club has a good bundle at the moment for 750 with 2 lenses

do these typically go on sale for black friday?
There's no way to tell unless you go through old BF ads. The a6000 is 3 years old now, so there's probably a better chance of it going on sale than the newer models, IMO.

Is the desktop market now down to work, edu and gaming? When my circa 2012 iMac croaks, I might not even bother to replace it with a lappy.

If you're going to get a laptop, get a Macbook - I've never had any kind of luck with PC laptops - and my macbook is a beast - it just can't play video games.

Might get me one of those fancy monitors from Newegg. I'm currently using and old off-brand 19'' TV from HH Gregg as my monitor.

Pregunta: If I wanted to do more of a surround sound setup in my living room, mostly for watching sports and maybe listening to music...do the speakers make the man, so to speak? Or do I need a better quality TV first?

Currently I stream through my desktop PC into my TV...that's how I watch everything...if more details are needed, I can provide it...might be better for the home theater thread, but I'm already here...

How long do your PC laptops last? How heavy are they? There's a certain point to me, that if it only lasts two years and weighs as much as a desktop tower, just buy a macbook.

I've bought a desktop because I want games and more intensive, I just won't think twice about PC laptop.

My wife's 17" HP ENVY 17t is only a few years old, but it was under $900 and weighs less than 7 lbs. It's perfect for most people.

@Silentom: Which model ASUS do you have? I've recommended a few of them to family members for their needs, and my biggest gripe with the models they got is that the case just feels cheap (lower quality plastic).

Asus K53E. Bought in 2012, not 2011.

That explains it then - yours is a higher tier model.

Where's the best place to get an iPad this year? Preferably without fighting for one in a store at 2 am on Black Friday?

Did you buy a kit yet? There are a few Cyber Monday deals on the A6000.
  • Sony A6000 (body only), $448 (B&H)
  • Sony A6000 with 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens, $498 (Amazon or B&H)
  • Sony A6000 w/ 16-50mm and 55-210mm Power Zoom Lenses, $698 (Amazon)
I included the B&H Photo Video links because you won't pay sales tax going through them as opposed to Amazon (if Amazon is the seller). You can find similar deals at Adorama, as well. B&H is the gold standard of camera shops, and Adorama is a terrific one, too. I've purchased from both.
