Loving it so far. Took a little getting used to, but it's working out great!

Laura, are you familiar with Sheffield Labs. Back in the 80's, they were known for Direct to Disc LP's. They would take the original master disc and press a few directly. I have on called "I've got the Music in Me". It's great till this day. The DTD's normally had about 15 - 20 DB increase in Dynamic Range. Not sure how available they are now but if you come across one, give it a try.

Thanks! I'll see if I can find them.

Bought the mid-range Lenovo Yoga 720. I've been thinking about finally upgrading to a more traditional laptop and this checks all the boxes.

Kaby Lake i5
128GB SSD
13.3 inch screen
USB-C 3.1 port
Thunderbolt port
USB 3.0 port
2-in-1
Fingerprint reader

That's plenty for what I need it for. I'm also thinking about getting the Wacom Bamboo Ink Stylus. I'm not sure if I'd use the pen feature all that much, but I found it as a bundle with 1 year of Office 365 Personal. The pen itself is already $60-$70 depending on where you look, so that seems like an excellent deal.

The laptop should arrive on Wednesday.

EDIT:

Yup, purchased the Stylus/Office 365 combo too.

So the computer and stylus came in a day early. Awesome, right? Well, for the most part the computer has lived up to expectations. Screen is a little dim, even dimmer than my Lenovo Yoga Book, but I'll manage. Otherwise everything works excellent... exceeeept. The stylus comes with changeable nips. The very first time I went to change a nip - SNAP. It immediately breaks. Oh Wacom...

Aw, that sucks about it breaking :/ Good to hear that the computer has been good though.

Bummer the stylus broke. I hope it won't be too expensive to replace.

Got a replacement stylus from Best Buy with no problems!

Cool! What colour is it?

 

[Scienceguy Labs]

I bought two of the white ones. One is going in my bathroom. That's where I have all my thoughts and ideas as I start the day. Ha ha Now, I have something to help me get them down.

The other one is going in my classroom. Now, when my kids and I need a quick answer, I'll just ask Google.
