I am clueless about tablets, please help.?

I have several tablets as well as a couple of PCs, a laptop and a netbook. I tend to use all of them from time to time, but of the tablets I have, my favourite is the first one I bought, which is an Asus Transformer with a detachable keyboard.

Why do I prefer this one?

Of all the tablets, it is the only one that offers a real keyboard as well as acting like any other tablet. I can flick a little slider in the hinge area between the keyboard and the screen, and the screen part becomes a normal tablet and uses an on-screen keyboard. With the keyboard attached, I can type a lot faster as there is tactile feedback. I do not have to look at the keyboard to know that I have hit a key properly. With the on-screen keyboard I cannot feel when I hit the gap between two keys, and as there is no actual movement it is easy to produce stray extra characters if I accidentally brush a finger across a key.

The keyboard also offers a touch-pad and buttons similar to a laptop. This is invaluable when accessing transient drop down menus that are used on some websites. With just a touch screen, this type of menu always causes me problems in selecting the item I want from the menu - as soon as I raise my finger to tap my selection from the menu, it disappears.

Another factor to consider is that an on-screen keyboard takes up around half the screen. When I have the hardware keyboard attached, I have the full screen available, which means I can still see the question while I am typing my answer on Yahoo! Answers.

There are two other advantages to the Transformer when the keyboard is attached. First, it closes like a laptop so the screen is protected; and second, there is a second battery in the keyboard that extends the battery life from around 8 hours (without the keyboard) to around 14 hours (with the keyboard).

There are later versions of the Asus tablet now available.

I use an Android App called "WiFi File Transfer Pro" to transfer files between the Asus, my Android phone, my other tablets and my PCs. This App just needs a normal Internet browser on the other device to perform the transfer.

With regard to the question about emails, I believe that this depends on which email protocol your email client uses. I am not an expert on this subject, however, I believe that if the protocol is IMAP then deleting on one device should be reflected on the mail server and your other devices. However, if the protocol is POP3, then you will have to delete the same email from the different devices.

I have my main PC email client configured using POP3, and deleting emails it downloads from the server. My other devices do not delete the emails so I can review my emails on any device, and they remain accessible until I access them from my main PC, when the server copy is deleted.

Try out a tablet without a keyboard and see how you find the on-screen keyboard before you decide.

I hope this helps.

I have the 2013 Nexus 7. It does everything I want it to do and works great with a PC. All other tablets I wanted are nothing compared to my Nexus 7. It's mid-priced and well worth it.

This is a duplicate question...
