My Asus is also a detachable tablet and it is great for that,. I had a Logitech keyboard for the iPad too. The biggest problem is Windows RT. I have found a Microsoft app that seems to be what I want but I can't log onto my account at the mo, they said try again later as the site was down.

The Asus seems to have a very long battery life, too!

My old Asus laptop is well past its use by date and still going. Just too big these days to carry around.

Karen was going to get a notebook.... but these two in ones have more memory, std USB can be used with the big hard drives etc, and runs std windows, she loves it....apart from learning 8

She is also downloading all sorts and will clog the memory before she knows it! It has more memory than her old laptop but nothing compared to my new one...but mine has a 19.3" screen so is big, but what I need for work as lots of my work uses photo's so I need to see the detail on the pics.

TOSHIBA Satellite PRO

It must be 17.3"... swapping data from old to new and I recon there is only 2" in the width.... much better quality than the old screen....when the old screen still went :P

well that was a waiste of time..... spend a good amount of time sorting files to take to the new computer... my biggest storage device I had at hand was a 32gig SD card (portable hard drives were left at home yesterday)
Spent ages getting them on with the last folder taking 1.5 hours to transfer...... and all the new laptop wants to do is format it

it loads the library in the background but as soon as you cancel the format it closes that too.... I will put a bit on the USB stick this morning and see what happens..... more time wasted

Cool browser, it will replace chrome for me. It displays sites much better than chrome, resizes them correctly to fit my screen etc.

Thanks MT.

there is no way I am running Chrome on any PC I own.... Google is renowned for collecting data to use to market to you.... or for their research

The terms and conditions are an interesting read...

Liking the new laptop.... took 1 1/2 hours to load some data to the USB stick to transfer and 13 min to take it off the USB stick on the new machine
