Successfully resisted!

When my long serving small form wired Apple keyboard packed a sad, I resisted buying one of these, which I have tried in a shop, and do like:

And have ordered one of these at almost half the price, and really more suited to my needs:

The shop said it would arrive by the end of the week.

The full key keyboard is my favorite. The 10 key has saved my sanity a million times over

No I get that. Just the numbers go up to nine, which is what confused me.
I have the small keyboard at home and full size at work. I'll order full size next time for sure.

Try the Logitech wireless keyboard for Mac with numpad. I just got it yesterday from Apple online store.

Build quality isn't as good as the stock Apple keyboard, but it being solar powered by indoor lighting, wireless, and having a numpad was totally worth it. I still use the full-size wired Apple Keyboard with my iMac. Why Apple refuses to make a stock full size bluetooth keyboard is beyond me. I can deal with the smaller keyboard on a laptop, but it makes no sense on a desktop, unless you just want a compact keyboard.

I'm using the Windows model, and I agree. It's a great keyboard.

Apple Watch here too. Going to wait for 2nd gen. If it were up to me I'd buy the current Apple Watch now and sell it to buy the 2nd gen once it's available but I'm married so it's not up to me.

You don't need an Apple Watch! At least that's what I'm told every time I'm at the Apple Store looking at which one I want to buy. :(

iPad Smart keyboard. I rarely use my iPad Pro, but everytime I think about the keyboard, I tell myself "Oh it'll totally make you use the iPad more and let you replace that rMBP." I know its a lie, but its a very comforting lie :)

The new Macbook, I already have two MBP a Hackingtosh, a 2009 Mac minu and many other Macs. But I really want a the new Macbook, don't know why. I don't even like the new keyboard.

I have a confession to make, I broke down and bought the MacBook, but I am proud of myself, I lasted almost 1 year.

Oh, rMBP15" 1TB (while there still is a version without bugs & stuff and all ports that I use), various music-related things...

Either iPad Pro 9.7 or 12.9, I've seen some decent deals but they're a bit too good to be true (which it usually is).

Saving for my first house it's killing me not to get a new laptop or desktop. A new iMac would be so good right now....

Ever have your eye on something that you really want but definitely don't need?

What are you trying to keep yourself from buying right now? :)
/QUOTE]

Marijuana. Still very illegal here, so it's not worth the risk. Or is it?

Oh, you mean computer gear?
In that case, nothing. I'll just buy it.

Stuck with it. Buying a house is one of the few things most people buy that goes up in value instead of down.


For me I'm currently doing a photo day in the UK. The events organisers are talking about African safaris and bears in Europe and those trips sound tempting (and bloody expensive!).

It's the most boring thing ever: Fantastical 2 for Mac. I can't seem to justify to spend $50 on it.

EDIT:I just found out that it's 20% off for a limited time. Haha, ffs. So much for that.

The iPad Pro. I already have a Surface, but I primarily use it as a secondary computer and I really don't need another touch device but it's so shiny and nice...
