My Gadgets
It’s been a month since I got this ASUS Transformer T100 netbook/tablet. I’m still torn between calling it a booklet or a notepad. End up calling it a netbook since that’s what I’ve come to need. The tablet aspect comes in handy and entertaining, but it still is a netbook.
This is my most significant gadget update since I got my Xperia Pro more than 2 years ago. Hipster me, when finally I got a touchscreen smartphone, I had one with a slideout keyboard. When I finally got a tablet, I got one that’s a Wintel device with a keyboard doc. I have now started to transition from my Sony Ericsson Elm feature phone and Neo Vivid netbook for my mobile needs.
Probably the best thing about it is Minion Rush.
Mhae’s Gadgets
Mhae now has devices on the three major platforms—her netbook with Windows, her tablet with Android, and her iPhone 4S with iOS which used to be my sister’s then her husband’s. The iPhone has yet to get action because of urgent matters that we don’t get to get a microSIM.
Parent’s Gadgets
As for my parents, my father doesn’t have a recent gadget update. I’m waiting for price drops for Seagate’s laptop SSHD’s to upgrade his netbook. I’m hoping that would give enough improvement on performance in a similar way an SSD upgrade improved my mother’s Pentium Dual-Core-based Acer laptop.
I finally got my mother a replacement for her failing MyPhone Android 2.3-based phone in an LG L40. I find its price very reasonable for its specs. It’s got decent speed on KitKat and has been serving my mother well and saving us both from headaches.
It’s been quite a gadget blast although noticeably on the more budget-friendly side. It’s nice to know that this is possible in a time of hyped and (un)reasonably expensive products that, whether we acknowledge or not, have become more needs now than wants.
