Hi Guys,
Just joined to see if I can get some help i selecting a top level Tablet. I know people who have i-pads and are not too happy with the Apple restrictions. I know some who have Android tablets they have had for some time, which have been improved upon since then and I am looking for something that will last and give me good service.
First of all, I'm in the 'older generation' league, having retired a couple of years ago just before I was 70. I have a PC and laptop which I used for work and personal and I have an HTC Desire smartphone, which I have just been using for calls, text and to have my photographs on. I am not very smart with android, but am 'almost' convinced that Android is the way to go rather than iOS.
I am a very keen photographer and specialise in Studio portraits to a professional level, but instead of having loads of printed photographs in portfolios to show people, I would now like a quality Tablet and have been considering the Asus Transformer Infinity TF700T ....................................... that is until I started looking at various forums and see that there have been problems with systems.
I am quite happy to buy retail at a local store so that I have a base to go back to easily, rather than try and get a few quid knocked off on line and a local John Lewis store does have these advertised. However, should I be considering any other models as I do not want a Tablet for games, more for a good photography display, e-mails, text, some documents for reference , movies and you tube videos connected with photography. Also some e-book reading.
The one plus side of Apple is that they have stores that help with setting up and ongoing workshops, which helps to meet local people also getting used to tablets and this type of computerisation, which android users don't seem to have .......... unless I'm mistaken?
Any help at all would be appreciated to reduce my fear of problems with Asus or to steer me to something else to consider.
Many thanks for looking
Alex
