I bought a 10.1 Sylvania tablet three weeks ago at our local Shopko. I truth I like the tablet and the price was OK, I knew the product was not top of the line but I just wanted to have something all the other kids on the train had. I really thought the Sylvania was. The item acted like a tablet but just little drawbacks. I really liked the wi-fi feature and early on I started using the Ethernet jack at the and was surprised at how much faster the Ethernet loaded item on the tablet—I did not even know the tablet would take an Ethernet connection. Again one of the great features of the Sylvania is all it points of connectivity. Then about the Second week the Ethernet port just stopped working and even though I could still manage with the Wifi I missed and wanted my Ethernet connection back. It was during this time I started paying attention to short lived battery of the tablet—just a couple of hours. I had to charge the tablet all night only to plug in again at the office or I would have a dead tablet. I thought about getting a second adapter but I could not find any which would charge my tab—I was warned by various nerds That I better be careful with the power supply or soon I may have a very expensive paper weight. And quite frankly pulling in where ever I went was becoming a real pain in the ass.

It was Frank at my office who witnessed my frustration and suggested I return my device and get what I really wanted—a high end device with speed, longevity, adaptability and great connectivity. I would take my Sylvania back, get my money back and use that cash as a down on the new device

. So yesterday I stopped at Shopko on the way home from presentation I was supposed to give and explored just how do able returning the device would be, it turns out I still had my receipt (miracle) and box and parts, I could exchange for a new tablet or take the cash and roll. The manager started to give me hard time but I just turned and left. Somewhere on the trip home I remembered I had taken out number of signature loans with my credit union, specificity for electronic technology i.e. computer so I figured I would stop and see what they could do form me. A lot. I could get more then enough for what I needed at half the interest rate and have a the item payed off in 6 months! Perfect!! I basically agreed to conditions and and started thinking about what I was going to buy.! TO BE CONTINUED...
