SlayVus posted:So I know you have to let the Prime charge for 8 hours, according to the instructions on first time use, but can you use it while it is charging? Or would it better to just let it sit there and charge? In every case where a new device says this, it's ok to use it during that time. The manufacturer just wants to make sure you actually get it charged at least once.

Or you could either resite the router itself, or buy a wifi extender unit. Instead of relying on slow bluetooth.

Shorter Than Some posted:At the time the iPad 2 was rumoured it would have been prohibitively expensive, now tablets are being announced approaching that resolution anyway, and the jump from 1920x1080 to 2048x1536 seems pretty close to the jump from 640x480 to 960x640. Are there even any 1920x1080 tablets actually out? (ps the iphone was 480x320 to 960x640, not 640x480 to 960x640. It's quadruple the pixel count, like 2048x1536 from 1024x768 would be, not double as 640x480 to 960x640 would be)

Shorter Than Some posted:No but neither is the iPad 3, they'l be out by the time it is. Phones weren't 640x480. They were generally 800x480/854x480 or 480x320, 4:3 phones were uncommon outside blackberries and those weren't 640x480 either. And especially since you said 1024x768 to 2048x1536 is the same jump as 640x480 to 960x640 - it isn't, the first is 4x pixels, the second is 2x pixels.

You can literally pick the Specialists brain, get his non-commissioned advice, buy it from Best Buy, but then if you have a problem you can go to Apple. Also AppleCare comes with everything automatically regardless of where you buy it. That doesn't matter, because every store is not an Apple store. At my old place the nearest current Apple store was an hour drive away which is well beyond convenient. Also tech support hotlines have existed for decades. You even bring up Best Buy which has a support department for everything they sell: Geek Squad.

Yes you do seem to not know what the gently caress when you claim noone can help you with anything that isn't Apple and then act surprised when Geek Squad is mentioned? The genius bar was absolutely useless for me when my old Macbook Pro started randomly rebooting - they said it needed to be sent away for a week to get repaired which is basically the same thing Geek Squad does.

My original transformer is certainly reliable as hell and the only thing "wrong" with it is the edges are slightly beat up cause I'm a klutz who leaves it on tables and accidentally knocks it on to the floor.

Well if it's not able to access to Google servers it is probably also having trouble accessing other servers. You should consider the graying out to mean your connection is having problems in general, even though it only directly indicates whether you can reach google stuff.

Not to mention that the other thing would cover pretty much every other kind of computer from gamerfreak giant towers to just larger phones that dont fit in every pocket.

Computers are an absolute necessity in first-world countries, and that means that the tens of millions of poor people in the US need a computer, even if it's the cheapest shitbox available. So you're not getting it that if people don't want to pay a full $500 for a laptop, they also probably don't won't to pay a full $500 for a tablet that is less useful.

illcendiary posted:There is, however, a difference in how these prices scale. As far as I can tell, the difference between a 5D Mark II and III (now, not at the time of their release) is about $1300 on Amazon. I can see that making a difference. Telling someone to buy an iPad 2 ($399 new, $349 refurb that most people aren't aware of ) is pretty dumb when the difference is a measly $100. If $100 is a major deciding factor in your decision, what are you doing buying a tablet in the first place? Do you really not understand how stupid this sounds? Like really? poo poo why not say you're stupid if you don't get a maxed out 3G one?

If they're going to be mostly fixed in place, they don't really need to have batteries or anything, so they don't need to be proper tablets.

TildeATH posted:I'm also curious as to what your "or anything" is besides batteries even if they were fixed in place, or is that just a sloppy attempt to pretend that you have more of an argument? A digital sign doesn't need all the power of your average tablet to display stuff, or even to be able to accept touchscreen input. Similarly kiosks and points of sale and such would do much better having a display hooked up to a computer, rather than just a tablet. Points of sale especially, since you ain't building a money drawer into a tablet unless you're crazy.
