Libre office is a good alternative and I have used libre office in my Mac and Ubuntu operating systems. Libre documents can open using MS office and vise-versa.

Tips to save money when buying computer, laptop parts and cables


Please  note that this article using facts and data in Australia but I think this is true for most developed countries.



1.  Don't buy  

Again this is the best advice I can give for most common laptop, PC and Mac users. Sometime you actually really need the device and you just blindly buying it just because some retail shop giving you a 10% discount on the product. So please think at least 3 times before buy something.

Also if it's for a one time use just try to burrow it from a friend. But always return it on-time.

2. Do no buy it from major retail shops

This is a common mistake most people do when they need a cable or some other small part for a computer. These big retail giants has lots of expenses like rent, wages of workers and insurance etc.
Just try to buy the product on ebay, amzon or ali express and you will find the same product with a discount more than 30%-50%.


3.Try facebook market place or gumtree

Some times offices  and some people tend to put these items on online market places for free or for a very small amount of money. Even these things are used, especially cables they can last longer. .


4.Cables and Accesries for Apple products are expensive 

Just consider this as when you choosing an apple product, They are very good products and comes with an additional cost.

5.Do not throw cables away

You never know when you need things and please keep your old cables and other commuter parts for at-least four to five years.








 

iTunes connect UI freezes.


When you publishing apps for apple store using itunes connect screens are freezing more often. Main reason behind for this is poor internet connection. Make sure you have a good internet connection when you publishing apps to apple store.

I'm always using my mobile's hotspot if the wi-fi or LAN is super slow.

Tips to save money when you buying a laptops and computers.



Tip 1 : Do not buy!!!

I know this is a strange tip. When you got the first idea to buy a new laptop and computers please consider why you need that. It may be your old laptop is broken or has some sort of software issue.
Try to repair it by yourself or go for a professional technician or ask  for help from your friends. You'll save lot of money this way. Laptops are designed to last for at-least 2-4 years. 

Tip 2 : Do not buy any software from the retail shop!!!

When you buying a laptop or desktop pc sales person will try to sell some products like antivirus software, office suits and some other commercial software.  Please try to buy these stuffs from online sources and you can save up-to 20-30 dollars .

Regarding antivirus you may do not need one as windows defender is good enough to protect you form most of the attacks.



Tip 3 : Buy used.

Buying a used laptop/desktop will at-least save you  100-200 dollars. Use ebay, gumtree ot facebook market place to buy used items.
