I Just Love New Toys!

It can be an ordinary tablet or open the case underneath and ...

Voila! ... it becomes a netbook with a reasonable keyboard
It's a brilliant piece of kit -- not an i-pad but there doesn't seem to be anything missing -- except maybe the price! From The Man early because he won't be here on the day ...

    I don't get i-pads anyway--they just look like a pain to me unless you want something electronic with which to show your pictures on. Much better is a real computer and this looks like one. Yea! What a sweet man!

      That's it! I have the benefits of both now. I've even decided to not take the laptop to France -- if I ever get there this year -- and thus save precious space and weight on the aircraft.

    Lucky you! I love new technology toys also. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and finally buy a smart phone.

      I have had a smart phone for quite a few years -- but really hardly use all the convenient features. They do come in handy though for keeping up with e-mail and the GPS when trying to find my way around someplace new.

    A super present and very thoughtful.

    Now, there'll be no stopping you.... or no excuse!

    Happy Day.

    I looked at the link but am no further forward in understanding what it is.

    But doesn't that then make it a laptop? I'm so confused with all these new gadgets...but what a nice man to present you with such an innovative gift. I'm still trying to convince myself that I really need a Kindle Fire...not working so far.

      Yes, it does make it a laptop! I knew I wanted the option of something smaller and lighter to take with me when travelling. I love my normal laptop, but it is a bit of a chore packing up and lugging it around. So I wanted something small and light and for a long time looked at the small 'netbooks'. The tablet is nice because it has a larger screen than the netbook and is more portable. However, if I am writing something say for my blog, I prefer a normal keyboard. Then I discovered there were keyboards for tablets and that they worked very well. So I now have both options.

    What a great present. Do you have a birthday coming up? Happy day in that case. I've got one too, soon. I know you will enjoy your new toy.

    Dear Broad, technology never ceases to amaze me. I'm so 20th century! And here you are for sure--in the 21st! Hope I catch up to you one of these days. Peace.

    Oh wow, Broad! That look like a very useful bit of kit indeed. I seriously considered buying something similar for my birthday but ended up getting my first laptop instead, but for the future...hmmm....:-)

      I find it best to have both -- there are limitations. But at least I will not have to lug the bigger and heavier laptop on Ryan Air! Also with this particular model, I have discovered it is not 3g ready and I am hoping I will be able to use a dongle and be able to connect to the Internet at the house in France.
