This is Mike | AB6EW. Be advise...Hi Brian | W8BYH,<br /><br />This is Mike | AB6EW. Be advised that I am also a DHS SHARES Radio Operator as well.<br /><br />I am too also glad that Julian White | OH8STN has also folded and woken up to the Windows reality as well.<br /><br />Tablets can be great, and I understand about not needing supposedly an Seperate External LifePo 4 Battery for it. But Unfortunately the Tablets do suffer a significant and a negative drawback going against them.<br /><br />For starters it's the price range almost over nearly $2,000.00 gag gag cough choking price!<br /><br />Also the Tablet has a limited RAM up to 512 GB and barely 512 GB of Internal Storage Capacity.<br /><br />The other issue is that the Tablet is not even great for prodctivity work not at all, Especially with the limiting memory storage.<br /><br />Other issues that I do also get to analyize and see is that by the time that one does buy the tablet you also have to buy a seperate key board as well.<br /><br />I do get it that it's all about extreme HF QRP Portability, but in a Real World scenario in my humble Opinion a laptop computer can do way much more and better productivity.<br /><br />I almost went with the Surface Go 2 Tablet. then started analyizing which one had better value, and who held the most Memory and Storage Capacity.<br /><br />I am caught and torn between either obtain in the near future a New HP Laptop Computer (and yes I am aware it's Not a Toughbook) or acquire me an Refurburished Toughbook CF-31 Laptop Computer.<br /><br />I am going with the Laptop, because I can quote upgade the RAM / Internal Storage Capacity and Will also have a Much Larger Screen than that of a Tablet.<br /><br />You just can't get the full functions off of a Tablet just like a regular Laptop Computer.<br /><br />Just for your information I was also a Former Civilian U.S. Coast Guard and was Activated for the 9-1-1 Incident, and Seriously Now about to Return Back and be Re Activated in my Former CG Unit.<br /><br />Keep up with the great articles, I seriously do find them very informative!<br /><br /><br />Best Regards & 73's,<br /><br /><br />Mike | AB6EW DIT DITMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203391052965469788noreply@blogger.com
