What's this?

I've never really understood the concept of ONLY having your data in

the cloud. Seems awfully limiting.

Maybe it is just the fact that I've lived my whole life in semi-rural areas where internet and cell access are not guaranteed.

I wondered about that too but it's actually quite the opposite -- JoesterVT 11/27/2017 11:02AM

I guess my issue is there are way too many places I frequent -- Tafkam Hokie 11/27/2017 11:19AM

But that is a different situation than your laptop. -- Hokies23 11/27/2017 11:39AM

My actual laptop, next to never. But every other portable device I have -- Tafkam Hokie 11/27/2017 11:49AM

How about a regular laptop with cloud service/backup? -- EDGEMAN 11/27/2017 11:17AM

Yeah, a cheap PC and a decent Chromebook are awfully close in price -- Tafkam Hokie 11/27/2017 10:39AM

I would go with Windows. -- Tafkam Hokie 11/27/2017 09:54AM
