All of us get new computers or
mobile devices and then we have to learn something new. I am one of
those that finds the new device a fun and interesting challenge and
can’t wait to try things out. I am writing this entry as I try out
a new computer/tablet.
I am trying to write this entry on
our new Asus transformer. When we say transformer that is what it
is. It is a small computer with a 10 inch screen but the screen
detaches from the keyboard and becomes a tablet. Of course there are
lots of things to learn with this device as well as it being a
Windows 8 system.
The touch screen works pretty well
and I haven’t had too many issues with it so far. The one thing I
am finding different is the size of the keyboard but considering I
have small fingers it isn’t hard for me to type on it. I think
someone with larger fingers might have problems with the keyboard.
Windows 8 is so different than any
previous version so it takes some time to figure out where everything
is and what you really want to do. I have already figured out how to
pin and unpin things onto the start screen. I think I have also
figured out how to uninstall applications that were pre-installed when
we got the device. Of course this computer is going to be used to
take notes at conferences and also with us when we are out and about.
It isn’t going to be the device where we watch videos and much so
those apps were quickly removed.
I can say that this computer is nice
and light which was one of the things I wanted because I will be
carrying it with me quite often. Now to try a few more things and
see how they go so it is time to stop writing and time to continue
figuring out this new computer.
