I Think I Like It


I finally did it. I've been talking about it ever since I rolled over my other tablet and broke the screen. Actually I just cracked the screen significantly the tablet work just fine at least it did up until about a year a go and then it just began to run slower and slower. If the system still ran the decent speed I would gladly kept using the device. I took the system in a couple times to Best Buy to see if they could speeded up or find out what was wrong clear that for whatever. After they got over there repulsion of seeing the tablet in the condition it was in the basely told me that the system was just old. That a lot of the new software apps and such probably wouldn't even run on this tablet platform. It was just years old I really needed to upgrade.

Still I had a tough time giving up the Galaxy 10.1. I really like the camera and I really like the way the galaxy treated me over the years. However, the last three or four months the speed of the system was greatly slowed and I've been thinking more and more just how nice a newer system would be. Then I dragged my feet because I wasn't sure if I could live with a 9.7 scanning rather than a 10.1. Really it's not that big a difference and now that I do have the some 9.7 think I really do like it. I think I will like the size and slimness but we'll see when my new tablet cover arrives just how slim the unit is but I think I will be able to get the tablet into my man bag.

I had a little bit of difficulty moving data from the old system to the new but tenacity came through. I still think something may be wrong because it did not bring all the information across but enough of the apps and widgets came across and that was good. When I pulled the small drive and installed into this new system that brought a lot of images and music that had been downloaded to the smaller chip. I still might enlarge the chip as far as capacity goes but we'll see. I also think the new tablet has a better speech to text capability. I can actually see myself if I need to I could really use the 9.7 as a main writing tool. Nothing matches my Dragon system on my laptop but having a portable like the 9.7 could be a game changer for me.

So I brought it home and Dianne got it on the charger. I spent some time out with the plants working on the patio little bit and after couple hours came back in and there was enough of a charge let me start the transfer process. Took about an hour to get all the kinks out of the process and the data from the old system to the new. I was little worried in the beginning thinking that it had lost some information and data but I think most of us around I still have a lot of it around on the laptop and I think I have a lot in dropbox that I can bring down when the time is right. The only issues I'm having now is that some of the tabs are applications won't work as I think they should. So I may have to see if I can spend some time and get the right application. Thinking specifically of ThinkPad notepad I cannot get the item to load from the screen – – I have to go out to the Ink pad/notepad on the net. I somehow think the app that I downloaded this for a cell phone and not for tablet – – there must be a special device or application for the tablet.

So no buyers remorse – – this is very rare I'm so happy. And I do think I'll be happy with this Tab A 9.7.So
