Okay, so I finally decided to buy a MacBook Air after attempting to use my iPad as a mobile work station. It just wasn't working. I sold a perfect almost new 2013 MacBook Pro with a wireless keyboard, rain stand, and world travel adapter for $1000 even though I probably should have held out for a bit more but now circumstance has forced me to buy a new laptop and I decided to journey along with the MacBook Air. I'm returning to school to take classes towards my doctorate but I've been out of school for so long that I forgot about student discounts so I feel a bit cheated because I paid $950 after taxes : (
I love this thing thou and by the time I realized I could have saved an extra $150, I'd already had it for two weeks and set it up perfectly. Which brings me to my topic: Customization.
I have a habit or over customizing my devices with things that end up unused in the long run. For example, I spent a solid week creating multiple custom (and I mean fully themed) home screens for my Nexus 5 and 7 only to end to end up using the same one for the last 5-8 months. Hell, I have well over 2000 wallpapers on my MBA already but I've only changed it twice in two weeks. Let's not even talk about how long I spent online gathering and creating custom icons to replace my standard app icons. I have a ridiculous 4GB customization folder on my hard drive. I guess I just like to know the choice is there but honestly after about a month (after the honeymoon haze has lifted) I just stop customizing my devices.
Now, I'm just curious because I know some people that have had their devices for years and the only wallpaper they've ever had were the ones that came with their devices brand new. So where do you guys fall in line?
