Looking for good recommendations for tablets as my current tablet is now over 4 years old and beginning to do strange things, such as freezing and only loading half a screen and dropping WiFi.  At the time the  "Acer Zen pad 10" was a good buy and we certainly got our usage out of it.

A mid-range price tablet and exclude Apple would be ideal.

Hi, Andrew,

Re the tablet replacement, I've just assigned my youngest boy, Ben (IT technologist by profession and the one who highly rated my MBW book!), to advise on his favoured brands. Only last week, he said this in one of his emails, ' . . . setting up some laptops and tablets for new staff at Kilrock . . . ',  so I reckon he'll be up to his you-know-whats in tablets at the moment.

Just give him a few minutes to reply but I know that, overall, he likes Acer, as per his recommending one for my recent Desktop PC change, an Acer Aspire model from the local 'Advice' store and it's absolutely top-drawer.

I'll get back to you with Ben's verdict.

Hi, Andrew,

No, not yet. Did you leave a message on his contact page on his website? He would have given that more priority, maybe.

He left a quick 'hello' message, during last night, saying he'd mail later today, but I guess he must have had a pretty hectic Friday, maybe with a client or two wanting sorting before weekend. You can imagine how things may be for a fairly new start-up business like Ben's, not wanting to let anyone down.

And poor old 'Dad' gets put to the bottom of the queue.

I'll mail him, right now, to see if he's there.

Like I said on Tuesday, I know that he highly rates Acer for their build quality and reliability, but let's see if he gives me a quick reply. I'll be clocking-off, soon.

Hi, Andrew

Boy, that was quick. Ben says  . . .

'I'd say any model in the Samsung Tab series if available are very good, but a new Acer would be good too.'

 . . . So, Samsung Tab favourite, Acer second favourite is the professional's view.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this . . . bleedin' kids (:-)

Hi King Cotton

I have decided on the following tablet and will order it tomorrow and thank you for the advice.

 

ACER ACTAB1021 10" Tablet - 32 GB, 

The tablet display gives a clear and vibrant picture. All of the usual Google apps are preinstalled and there is 32 GB of space. Plus, the storage can be extended up to 512 GB with a SD card so I can add all of my favorite apps, photos and videos. Battery life is standard with 9.5 hours.

Sorry, Andrew … I don't know how I missed this conclusion to your tablet quest. Still finding my feet around this all-embracing system!

The Acer machine sounds mega-powerful and I see that it has some mega ratings, too. Good choice and I'll let Ben know; he'll be pleased that you're sorted!

      News Forum - Thai police arrest six Chinese nationals in call centre fraud bust

      Chinese?? Well I am astounded - it is so unlike the Chinses to be criminals. That reminds me - recently I was looking at all the uber wealthy rich families in Thailand - you know the ones that own just about everything between them - about 9 or so of them. I noticed that most of them have their 'ancestral homes' in China and their ancestors came to Thailand in early 20th century and the another wave after Mao took over. Someone once told me that the 'good' Chinese went to Taiwan, and the 'not so good' went to Thailand. Not sure if that is true at all. Asking for a friend.

      DTV & ..question..

      I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh!
