Greetings! I have one question that I think will be interesting to discuss. When you choose new gadgets or devices, what is more important to you: their functionality or usability?

Hi! Interesting question, and in fact, this has always been an important dilemma for me. Personally, I tend to lean towards the idea that usability is often more important than functionality. I recently found a mirror iphone to smart tv that was a great example of this. It's simply amazing in terms of convenience: you can easily connect your iPhone to your smart TV and enjoy the big screen picture without any extra wires or complicated setup. Not only is this app very easy to use, but it also provides excellent picture quality and minimal lag. The importance of this app to me is that it makes the process of streaming media from my smartphone to my TV easy and enjoyable. Even if the device doesn't have as many features as more sophisticated solutions, its simplicity and efficiency make it indispensable in everyday life.

Hi, I think both functionality and usability have their own importance. For example, I appreciate devices that offer a good combination of both aspects. Sometimes functionality can compensate for not so convenient usability if the device really solves important tasks for me. Other times, simplicity and ease of use become a priority, especially if I don't want to spend a lot of time on customisation. All in all, it all depends on my specific needs and situation.

Good question! It's a balance for me, but usability usually edges out functionality. I'll probably get frustrated if a device is packed with features but feels clunky. That being said, I want to maintain power for convenience. I've been looking into gaming on MacBooks recently, and this link came in handy: https://setapp.com/how-to/best-gaming-macbooks. What about you? Do you prioritize ease of use or all the bells and whistles?
