So now I have a new tablet(I know Rob)but probably more sensible knowing my limitations.It's a Huawei Mediatab T5,so it's up and running now.For all that I fucked up I learned stuff from the experience albeit an expensive one.The funny thing is Margaret was cool with my expensive blunder.I just wonder if there is some household"nasty"waiting for me,women's Wiles and all that.!!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well pal what can i say lol. Could say a lot but won't bother but to be honest any laptop being sold for £200 isn't worth the box its in. For anything decent you are looking to spend at least £400. Anything with a celeron processor in ignore it as it hasn't got the guts to do anymore than one thing at a time. Open multiple tabs and the bloody thing will just grind to a halt lol. As far as the Huawei Mediatab T5 goes, well a tablet is a tablet, which is only good really for viewing stuff on as you can't really do most of the things you do on a laptop. For normal browsing and email tablets are ok but that's it. Tablets are ok but when you want to type something the pop up keyboard almost covers the fucking screen lol so can be a bit fiddly seeing what you are typing in. During the day i normally view CC on my phone (ie a small tablet lol) which is ok once you get the hang of it but to be honest you just can't beat a laptop as its so versatile for any operation ie cut & paste,downloading and saving stuff etc etc is just straight forward and very difficult on a tablet. It should have the latest Android on it but worth checking for any updates though normally this is automatic and should advise you when it wants updating. Reviews of the tablet are not that bad,performance seems to be good and good screen. All in all for a tablet it seems to perform well. The point is how are you finding it? seriously it should be ok even with the wife lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should snap the thing in half and have it sent to the Landfill Site because it isn't worth Recycling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only paid $100 then no wonder it was crap, decent ones ain't bad but only any good really for viewing stuff in all honesty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
