This might sound like spam or an ad, but it's not.
I researched and found a Windows 8.1 tablet at Best Buy for $229. While this post normally should be in the market section, I posted here because I'm sure there are others, like me, who want a tablet that isn't using a mobile operating system.
This thing is real. It's a real windows 8.1 computer in the form of a tablet, and the price is great.
Here is a pic of it:
And since I'm am a subscriber to Adobe Creative Cloud, I downloaded Lightroom (real lightroom, not that mobile junk). It works!
Pros and Cons:
Pros...
It's a real computer. It uses real apps. It's cheap. It's a tablet. It doesn't rely on mobile anything.
Cons...
It's confusing as hell to figure out how to complete normal tasks without a mouse and standard keyboard, but I'll learn. This is only for when I'm away from home and want convenience.
Also, it only has 2gb of ram, a 1.36ghz processor, and a 32gb hard drive. However, even with those limitations it's still a real computer running real software Adobe Lightroom, and Photoshop work. No, I probably can't multitask, but what real processing can I do on an Android or ios device? Not much.
Note: there are better choices out there, but they come at a higher price for more ram and hard drive, along with faster processors. but for $229 it's tough to beat. Same size as the large ipad, but cheaper than the ipad mini. And it comes with Microsoft Office, including free Office 360.
It's a real solution for me.
Hope it helps others.
