New Kindle Paperwhite http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C ... d_i=468294I can't see anything similar on the UK page though Hardly worth me upgrading then.

They'd probably make more money out of me if they did that here. I'd probably buy the paper back and Kindle edition.

Same here. I have bought a lot of books from Amazon so could have lots of kindle versions to download.

I read elsewhere the new HDMI 2 standard and thought it makes sense in terms of future TV's. I never realised it would be out this soon.

I really don’t understand those. They make me think of these:  Trying to do two jobs, but failing to do either competently.

I think that the market for computers and laptops is saturated and you do not buy one unless you need one. Most people I know have one and they will only get another when they need to. Tablets are something that can be much more useful and I can easily see a need for more than a couple around my home.

Indeed. I won't but a new one until my current one is well and truly dead. My old one had a list of faults a mile long, but I only got rid of it when it finally refused to turn on at all.

My iMacs could last a long time, but I might want a new one because they look so good.

I think the hybrids are very interesting. Mine is certainly very useful. I tried a couple of iPads and Android tablets, but they always felt incomplete. The Windows hybrids were the first tablets that made sense for me. What they bring is a complete package in one unit. You have a portable tablet for on the move, with touch apps, plug it into the keyboard dock and you can type like a laptop and plug it into the desktop dock and you have a full, multi-monitor desktop experience. Additionally you have all your data on one device, so you don't have to wait for it to sync over the internet - assuming you have a connection.

I think that they are a niche market but could fail because they are not great at everything. They clearly have benefits for some, but with an iMac and iPad I get the best of both. I very rarely need access to all my data on my iPad, but can wait till I get back to the desktop if I need it. You do also have the problem of having all your eggs in one basket with a hybrid. If it is stolen you lose everything at the same time.

And when you had an 11" MacBook Pro with retina display and detachable keyboard, which plugged into a Thunderbolt display on your desktop, making the need for an iMac AND an iPad redundant?
