I bought a tablet a couple of weeks ago.\u00a0\u00a0 I’d dithered for quite awhile because it was hard for me to justify the expense when I had a perfectly good laptop.<\/p>\n
Tell ya what, though…<\/p>\n
I love this thing.\u00a0 I broke down and bought a Kindle Fire HD because I felt like tablets were really consumption devices and I am already rather far into the Amazon ecosphere. I’ve read three or four books on it since I got it, and that’s cool.\u00a0 I watch Blackadder in the morning on Netflix when I get ready for work.\u00a0 Yes, I use it to shop just like I used my computer, and when I’m screwing around on the Internet, I am more likely to use the tablet because it’s convenient.<\/p>\n
What surprised me was that I actually use mine at work. I’m an independent consultant and I go to a lot of meetings.\u00a0 I take a lot of meeting notes with my tablet.\u00a0\u00a0 I use it for spreadsheets to analyze data at these meetings.\u00a0\u00a0 I did not expect this to be a productivity machine.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t want it as my main computer by any means, even if I could limp through my job using it.\u00a0 But my goodness do I love it on the go.<\/p>\n
And yes, of course I am writing this article on my tablet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
