I can’t stop checking out the new technology coming out in laptops and tablets and hybrid laptop/tablets. I enjoy using my ipod touch capabilities, but typing on it is really a challenge. With my laptop it is a breeze. That is why even though tablets are the latest craze, I don’t think it would really serve my needs. I like to blog, surf the net, and watch movies.
Watching the apple ipad and all the other tablets or slates coming out made me want to get one, but my enthusiasm for these gadgets isn’t really sustained. When I bought a netbook, I thought it would be convenient to carry around but after 6 months of use, I went back to using my big laptop. The netbook has weak cpu’s that make them super slow which takes the pleasure of using it away for me. Also, the keyboard was so small, that typing fast is very inaccurate for me. At first I rationalized that it would take time to get used to the slow down, but in the end I realized I should have passed on it. I already sense the same thing in these tablets for my use.
Don’t get me wrong. I still like these gadgets and still like the idea of having one, but long term I already know I won’t use it on a daily basis. I am sure these are good for other people’s needs.
I have been planning to get a new laptop for awhile. I was planning to hold off till the end of the year for Black Friday deals or even after the New Year. However, these new solid state drives SSD have piqued my interest. I have upgraded my Ram and HDD and reformatted my o/s so the speed is good. I am thinking with the falling prices of this technology, upgrading the drive might be all I need to get more life out of my laptop. I guess for now I will just continue watching the prices go down.
