That’s a weird ad. I see why some people hate it. I’m not sure it gets across the message they intended. It feels destructive and antagonistic. The visuals support that with the statues and figures poised to show fear to their impending doom. Nothing about this ad conveys joy and support towards...

I'm buying a JVC NZ8. I'm excited and hyperventilating over the expense. :)

He…traveled?

I haven’t had time to watch the event video; I’ve browsed the product pages. I’m half-listening to Upgrade podcast about it. Is the Apple video particularly worth making time for? Or is there a clips video summarizing it? It looks like it’s basically iterated iPads and nothing big lost skipping...

Still no FaceID in iPad Air?

So, no eraser?

iPad Pro with new keyboard would be $1300 before any trade in. That’s not for me currently. But seems like a great option for those that partake. :)

Skimmed Applea product pages. iPad Air looks like a nice update. No price increase, I think, and 128GB base storage. I think it works with my current Magic Keyboard. $350 with my iPad Air trade-in. I’d like to get it. But priorities just changed this week so probably wait until this winter.

My projector is directly overhead and fan noise is a nuisance. Especially from the NX7 which is quite loud on High Lamp. I’d much rather a fully passive cooling system with no noise, in a perfect world.

There are claims that according to JVC these models have substantial new hardware, which presumably is why some new features can't be brought to the NZ7/8/9 models. Is that so? Don't know. I'd love the more graduated fan speed of the NZ800/900 to be on the NZ7/8/9. But it might be there's a...

Yes. What I meant to say is: new models aren't exciting enough for people like you to upgrade and flood the market with old NZ7/8/9 models. That might keep used prices up somewhat. But also there was a unique scenario where early adopters of NX5/7/9 got 30% discounts off 2018 pricing. And then...

I have a new monitor upgrade plan

Getting ready for amazing new hardware lacking the software to support its full amazingness. But my iPad upgrade plan might go on hold though due to early projector upgrade. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/2/24147271/apple-ipad-air-pro-let-loose-event-accessories-pencil

The best resale was for the NX series buyers who bought new and sold with the release of NZ. The NX launched with superb pre-order pricing — which I somewhat regret not buying in hindsight — and then caught the 2.5x price increase for the mandated MSRP pricing for NZ. They lost only about 33%...
