Review: Samsung Chromebook 3

I purchased the Samsung Chromebook 3 recently on Black Friday. I bought it for use as my computer in high school and college. So far I have used it for about 5 days. I have used it to edit google docs, listen to music on spotify, read the news, and study for quizzes on various topics. It has performed very well even when I am multitasking. The keys are a nice size and are good to type on. The Samsung Chromebook 3 has an 11.6 inch screen and 2gb of ram. The Chromebook also turns on very fast even when it has been fully shut down. The Chromebook also does not have a wide variety of apps and so far can only download applications from the chrome web store. However, the Chromebook is ideal for use in schools and colleges because most of the work that is done currently is done online in Google applications. I recommend the chromebook to people that need a computer that is secure and people that do most of their work online. I would not recommend the chromebook to people that need a lot of do

5 Hiking Misconceptions and 5 Hiking Tips

Misconceptions: 1. Hiking is hard. ---Hiking is like many other activities in that you can choose your level of difficulty. If you want a hike to be easy, then hike on an easier trail. 2. You have to be very fit/active/healthy to be good at hiking. You don't have to be any of these things to be good at hiking. In fact, hiking can help you become fit, active, and healthy. 3. You need specialized gear/shoes/equipment to go hiking. You can go hiking with regular sneakers. By the way, a few of the longest hikes I have been on I was using sneakers and I was fine. 4. You can easily get hurt hiking. If you use common sense and be careful, you will be fine. However, it is always a good idea to do a tick check after you go hiking or stay outside for a while. 5. You should have socks like smart wool socks to cushion your feet. These are mostly useful in the winter and are not at all necessary during the summer. Tips: 1. Bring more water than necessary. I always bring at least 2 liter

Review: iPhone 6

I got the iPhone 6 around Christmas last year. Since then it has replaced my old camera, old iPod touch 4, old iPod, and my old phone, a Samsung Dart. I have also used my iPhone to take the majority of the pictures on this blog (For this reason I will not have a picture for this post). I have also played a lot of games on my iPhone. I have never had a game lag while playing on my iPhone. The iPhone is very fast and has a very good (high definition) camera. The iPhone also has a lot of different apps available for it. Despite the price, I would reccomend the iPhone 6 to anyone who wants a multi-purpose phone that can do a lot of jobs.  I rate the iPhone 6 4.8 stars out of 5 stars. The only reason I don't rate it 5 stars is the fact that a few apps are not available for ios, how you can't put widgets on the home screen, and a few other software quirks.
