I like tablets for books, video and travel. They're ridiculously hard to do any actual work on.

The saga of the new laptop continues...it kept hanging up on downloading the 83 (yes, 83!) security updates, but by the time (3 hours later) that i finally figured out that i only needed 2 specific updates to allow me to upgrade to 8.1 (free and reportedly slightly better than 8.0), i'd managed to get 70 downloaded.

I thought i'd told it to install just those two. but no. It's installing all of them it's on #24 of 70.:facepalm:

then - tomorrow, since i have a meeting soon- I should be able to download 8.1, install that and download the inevitable security updates that go with it. Argh.

Only interested in the Windows, iOS and Android ones....(nix any-old linux). And only because "there's an app for that".

Although MS and Apple need to get their collective butts in gear on standards.

And the cross-platform development stuff sucks or is real expensive (because it doesn't suck, so they can charge a lot).

I don't own any of em. Bought the GF one though (kindle).
