It's hard to travel light when you need to lug around technology as well. My MacBook is dying an ugly death right now, so this was the perfect time for me to try out a replacement. I'd looked into Chromebooks as a possibility, and I think we'll likely still have one along with us for the family. But I'm currently typing this from a cheap bluetooth keyboard hooked up to a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.5, and it's working fairly well. (links to those below) Costco sells a good variety of electronics, and they have a very generous return policy. So basically I'm using the hell out of my 90 day trial period to find out what I can - and more importantly CAN'T - do with a tablet vs. my laptop. If I can meet about 90% of my needs with this thing, it'll stay. So far I'm close, but I have found a couple hiccups. For instance, I haven't yet found a way to use Android messenger through the tablet. That's a feature I love and use daily - "texting" through my computer so I can type longer messages on a real keyboard. I may find a workaround for it, but so far no luck. That's okay, that's what the 90 days is for.
Typing this blog post is another test. And I have a couple documents to print in a minute, so that will be one, too. Wish me luck!
