working out and notebooks

Hi,

Who uses an ipad or other notebook device to stream their workouts? Which models do you use - ipad, Galaxy note or other model? Do you ever hookup a cd drive to one of these devices to use a cd-based workout, or do you use a laptop with a cd drive?

Thanks for any insight you may have.

I use a second-hand Surface that my DS gave me for streaming. I've used it on two different TV's (different brands, too) and it works great. He gave me cables to connect to the TV and I bought a second set on Amazon so I just move the Surface and the cables are always right there already connected and ready for action. I told DS it was the best gift ever as I use it constantly.

I have CD players hooked up to both TV's and just use that when I'm not streaming. I have occasionally packed CD's that I've plugged into my laptop during travel - have never had the cables to connect to the TV's in my hotel rooms.

I use an ipad to stream Cathe Live workouts. I first tried streaming Cathe Live from my Samsung Galaxy 8+ phone, but it was hassle (freezing, slow).
I only use the ipad now to stream and it works perfectly. When I do dvds, I use a dvd player.

LOL - I was about to tell you how I use pen & paper in a looseleaf binder.

Ditto! I thought the thread was about keeping track of workouts.
