A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Basic laptop for archiving/filing (alien.top)

I’ve got a 2016 MacBook Pro that I barely use as I’m pretty much do everything on my iPad now, it feels like it’s wasted on me. I’m looking to sell and get a basic laptop just for backing up files to drives and online. Does anyone have any recommendations or kit to avoid?

For basic file backup, consider a budget-friendly laptop like a Chromebook or a lower-end Windows laptop, which should serve your purpose without buying high budget laptop . Brands like Acer, ASUS, and Lenovo offer affordable options. Look for at least 4GB of RAM and a sufficient amount of storage.

A Chromebook would only be useful if they were backing up onto google drive.
