Yeah, been working with it last couple of days and so far doing a nice job. I am critical of printers since I am a pressman in the printing industry. I work on million dollar equipment so I know what quality printing should look like. Had an HP with 6 colours before this one and was very pleased with it. Was hard going out and look for new one as stores will never let you run samples to see quality. Got lucky with my choice. Added bonus is the large format of 13 x 19.
Well, to be honest it really isn't all that great, at least compared to what I previously owned. I've used it quite a lot over the last two - two 1/2 days and have had to charge it a few times already. Seems to last around 3.5-5 hours on a charge, with 3D off.
The last handheld I owned was a Gameboy Advanced SP, so it's quite the change in battery life, at least for me. I'm hoping to find a good, cheap aftermarket battery that will double it.
Setting that aside? I'm loving the machine thus far. It's quite comfy to hold for hours at a time.
Waited until WWDC to see what iOS 7 had. I love iOS 7 but it's mostly cosmetic and stuff I won't use. This is my first Android. I already love it, but I think the camera is bad in it. Might need a replacement already. Haha.
Bought a 128gb Sandisk Ultra Plus to go in my hard drive bay so I moved my old 64gb Sandisk Ultra Plus to my optibay and then erased it, and set up a JBOD array. So I have a 192gb startup volume which is an amalgam of two SSD's!

eye of the beholder... I think the Xbox One looks awesome. Nice clean lines
You're the first I've seen say anything less than "horrible" about either of them. They just look clunky and mismatched.
I agree, I dont see how in the world they could have come up with those two designs after all this time. If I didn't know any better and you told me those were the first generations of their respective consoles, I'd believe it.
Not everyone likes curves, and excessive white everywhere (has it's place of course.. like my purchase in this thread
) but I like the block look of the one. It's like a nu-industrial. But then I'm a big fan of Windows 8 and square stuff

I dislike the Xbox One more because of the mismatched colors more so than the actual design/shape. The PS4 on the other hand, wow. It looks like a big, thick, black razor blade.
Been an expensive month:
26' truck for my move back to Seattle from Philly.
Airfare for brothers bachelor party for Vegas, with 5 rooms for the party at theHOTEL
Driving my car over first in a week.
Montblanc boheme fountain pen. Always wanted one, a reward to myself.
4TB HD from newegg for $140.
Plus a laptop for my brother and father, a mac mini for no reason and a new backpack from the forums here.
