So today at work was pretty unique. They decided to toss me out into field so I could get a little experience there. What field basically means is I go to one specific section and look after all the tech support requests from that area, moving this or that bit of hardware to this or that building. Example, someone needs a new monitor. I lug it over to their building then fill out some stupid forms. Funny part is I lasted just under an hour and went straight back, telling the 3 major bosses who took me in for a private chat about it that I refused to do more as I had done that sort of thing before at a previous job and specified I wasnt to do that here when they signed me up. They laughed since they seem to like me and had no problem with me going back to my usual help support role.
I finally got my new toy the other day. The Asus Eeepad Transformer Tablet. Heres a couple pics..
This is the 10" touchpad. Its extremely responsive, awesome quality screen, on par with the ipad. Its also got a bunch of really cool extras like mini sdcard slot, mini hdmi out so you can beam 1080p clips onto a tv, and a bunch of other things. Battery life is like 9hours.
This part is why its called the Transformer. You can buy a separate keyboard dock that turns it into a netbook. It also has some extra usb ports on in and an SD card slot. The coolest part? It doubles as a battery too. Together it reaches 16hours. Pretty damn awesome.
Sadly I need to send mine back to get it looked at. Theres a dust spec under the screen and its annoying. So yeah, send off and wait for replacement. Otherwise it works like a dream. Easily the best android tablet around and very similar to the ipads performance in terms of scrolling and gaming etc. I love me some electronics.
Pretty sure there was something I wanted to mention, but with the extreme lack of sleep I've had over the past week or so has pretty much frazzled my brain. My cats definitely getting better though. Almost a week since he got sick and today was the first time he rubbed his head against my leg and roamed around the house. I'll admit I was fairly stressed over his health. But thankfully he's coming back to his best. So happy. At least somethings going right.

ReplyDeleteThat is a freakin sexy touchpad, I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteBring it on ya pansie! Also uber nerdgasm at that tablet.
ReplyDeletemgsfool, thats obviously not my hand. Its a publicity shot like the second picture. I havent taken any pictures of mine.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't fooling anyone! We all know you like to dress in drag in your spare time. ;D
ReplyDeleteDarn it, didn't get the quote til I heard the answer. Can't believe how obvious it was. *facepalm*
ReplyDeleteAnd it makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one who made the assumption with the thumb. :D
I have this feeling you've been playing as Zoey again.
ReplyDeleteIs the Asus Eeepad Transformer Tablet cheaper than the ipad?
ReplyDeletew00t - Ten points for me! Hope yer thumb heals soon. Nice iPad btw - Or, at least, that is what more a few people are going to say, I can guarantee you that - People can be dumb like that :P
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it cheaper than the iPad, and does it have good app support?
Its cheaper yeah. Right now apple has the best app support. But android is flying and has quite a lot. This time next year I expect it to have overtaken apple.
ReplyDeleteScrew the ipad then, I'll save up for the Asus
ReplyDeleteOne day lad, all of this will be yours! Oh, the curtains?! :D I love that movie so much. Just browsing the past year of posts.
ReplyDeleteWere you able to get a replacement? I hope you did. Dust spec aside, I think the Eeepad is a great tablet. But I recently switched to a Asus Nexus. It is pretty awesome, too! - Betty
ReplyDeleteAt the time yep, got the replacement. However the original eeepad wasnt that strong in certain things like movie playing. Would have to convert every file to a specific thing, just annoying to get things working. I ended up selling it a year later for half the amount I got it for. The Nexus is great, had my eye on the new one lately. I do wish they'd make another version larger than 7". But excellent device, brilliant screen.
