So one thing I’ve been saving money for is a new tablet. My old one is pushing five years old (and may be over that already, as I’m not entirely sure when I bought it in 2015), so it’s getting up there. Battery life isn’t awesome anymore and apps don’t always update, and in fact eventually a lot of apps become unwinnable. I’ve been squirreling away money so I could buy the new tablet outright, and now it’s mine! In fact, I am writing this very post on the new tablet.
It’s a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, in the 10-in size. This is the biggest tablet I’ve owned yet, which makes sense for reading comics and since I want to use this tablet as a secondary writing device. Of course, that particular bit of functionality will have to wait until the keyboard folio I also ordered comes; apparently it was backordered, which is a shame. (It was also included free, so I can’t whine too much yet.) My plan is to use the tablet for writing in Google Docs, for things like blog posts and reviews for The Geekiverse, and maybe even short-form fiction if the whim allows. Google Docs doesn’t handle very large files very well, and since brevity does not seem to be a thing I do as a novelist, that work will remain on the laptop and Scrivener.
Aside from that, who knows? I just have a nifty new gadget!
And the camera is decent on this tablet, too. Here is a selfie I took last night with this very device. Not bad, I must say.
And oh yeah, those are also new overalls…but more on those in another post. Cheerio, mates!
