Solve : WiFi internet tablets, need help.....? |
|
Answer» Going on a out of the country trip and need to keep in touch with my family through e-mail and facebook. I was looking for and laptop net or note book but now leaning towards an internet tablet. I don't need an expensive one, this will only be used one time and just lay around the house afterwards. I found 3 around $200, a Cruz, Coby Kyros, and a Archos, all 8". They all have about the same specs but the wifi is different, some have 802.11 b/g and the other one is 802.11 b/g/n. What would be the difference between b/g and b/g/n, does one have a better connection?Any reason for a new Topic on this ? ?My question was answered on notebooks in last posting, I needed information on WiFi tablets. WI-Fri overseas? WI-Fri overseas? I have been to 24 different countries in the last 7 years with both a WiFi capable laptop and my iPhone after I purchased it and never had any issues USING the WiFi unless I was in a location that didn't have it or I wasn't allowed access to it. If the OP faces any one of those two situations then it won't matter what kind of device he has. You can always go for something like a Kindle Fire as it can be used for reading and other THINGS once you return. If you don't plan on using it after you return and have taken GOOD care of it then you will more then likely be able to sale it for close to what you paid for it.mroilfield, Thanks for sharing. Indeed thou have visited more countries than I have. But is not the POINT. With no disrespect, your conclusion is premature. There is a group that represents, they say, over 40 European countries. They propose putting the brakes on WI-Fi usage.

That is not the point, rather my points that some European bureaucrats ENTERTAIN the idea of limiting what you could do with your laptop. There is no indication they would make reasonable exceptions for anybody. Don't be fooled by their concern for the welfare of children. Nor for any technical claims they make. The motivation is much more sinister that one would think. They want to limit your freedom. Unless you pay for it. |
