Hi all,
I'm looking into buying my first mobile computer. I love my multi monitor desktop, but I want something that I can enjoy outside, take in the garage, or even use during lunch at work. So after my googling, looking at options, and reading reviews I don't think I want a standard laptop. Tablets seems like a viable option if I got a keyboard and mouse that works with it, which from my understanding I can do this easily with bluetooth. So I came here to learn
My phone is android powered, bout as close as I have to a tablet right now. I live in michigan, USA.
I saw you had a "what should I buy thread" but It seems to just be a bunch of people asking what to buy and hardly any answers. but ill use the format from the thread.
I will be wanting to use it as a laptop. I really want to run the ubuntu app because I just think that's awesome, but if it unable to i can survive. I need something that can multitask easily. I want to go from word processor to web to ftp server to make updates to the website when necessary. I can already do this on my android phone, but it sucks lol. I would want flash support. I guess I would want bluetooth for a mouse and keyboard if its needed. Another bonus would be camera to skype with people.
I was hoping to spend less than 750 for the entire setup, im still looking at options.
I want a 10 inch screen, and higher the resolution is a bonus ( I like pretty things)
I don't know a whole lot about android, I do have a android phone, but I haven't rooted it or anything. However my OS is ubuntu and I'm constantly playing with it, I'm not afraid to try anything. I'm also wanting to get this just have another thing to screw around with, Id rather not do it with my phone.
I noticed the thread with the asus transformer pad tf 300 and at least to me seems pretty cool. has a keyboard that also extends the battery life, not sure if it can run the ubuntu app, but ill give it a shot if I end up getting it. besides that seems to be everything I want. What other options do I have or is there a reason I might want to go another route? Thanks in advanced.
