That will likely change one day if I ever get budgets to replace servers and such, but for now, no dice.ĮDIT: on another note, try Latermark for pocket replacement. Android tablets others bring in cannot support some of our older infrastructure. Mine works great because of the Microsoft-centric company I work for. I guess it just depends on what you actually need to do. I know my brother used one for IT work, and play, and he got more out of it for play than he did work, but it was able to be configured the way he wanted (ha always had to root a new tablet then install and tweak certain things, and side-load some apps.) Problem there is that you may have to configure a lot to do it. Google tablets can do just about anything you want. I use 8.1 across my desktop, laptop and tablet.
The bonus here is Office, full installs of software, and if you are running 8.1 on other computers, and use the available cloud apps (Onedrive, Mail, Contacts), you never have to worry about where your documents are, what that wireless password was, what was that web page you were looking at yesterday, and many other things. Or bail and pick up an Android tablet (Apple is not an option, I'm not keen with a lot of there practices) where I know the apps I use most are. Bluestacks works ok but not great.Īlthough it's working ok for me, the thing I'm wondering is if I should stick with it and hope now that they built it the apps will come.
I never thought I would care about apps but using this as a companion device I've come to realize that apps are what you need. Although I've made it work for me, but to do so I had to find alternative apps for things I really wanted it for, such as Feedly and Pocket.
I really liked the idea of having the desktop as I would no longer have to take my laptop on vacation, I also like some Windows 8 feature like having 2 apps up at once. But after playing with it a week I'm only feeling so so about it. I was excited to try it out, I thought it would be a fun device and the tablet I've been waiting for. I recently picked up the Venue Pro off Groupon for pretty cheap ( ).
