stevehann 69 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It is not cheap and it is a bit heavy, but I recommend the ASUS EP121 Tablet. It runs Windows on an I5 and has a couple of USB ports as well as wifi and bluetooth. It is a true tablet and uses either fingers or stylus. I needed the 12.1" screen because some of the stuff I read is tough to see clearly on a 10.1" screen. The only problem is the battery life is short, 3 hours internet and maybe 4 hours Adobe Reader. So, for those who want Windows - this is it. Link to post Share on other sites
USMC-Retired 10,995 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Really? 4.0.3? A quick google search said it wasn't possible. I guess I'll hit the search engines and get it working. Netflix isn't really important to me, but the challenge is. http://androidcommunity.com/netflix-updated-with-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-support-20111215/ Link to post Share on other sites

Netflix isn't really important to me, but the challenge is. Currently the XOOM is on 4.0.4 and Netflix works fantastic, you have to get the VPN running over here of course.

KennyF 3,855 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 For the tablet guys who have a USB port (mostly the Chinese ones). I just bought a 4.5G wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB dongle and they work just fine on my 10' pad. KonGC Link to post Share on other sites
expat08 35 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is there a surplus store or mall in Hong Kong or Singapore where I can shop for tablets? It's too expensive to pick one up here. Link to post Share on other sites
USMC-Retired 10,995 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 I do not about the prices and how they could be much cheaper. A Samsung Galaxy Tab sells in US for 429.00 and here 17,800. ZTE 10" sells for 11,000 here and 249.00 US. I am sure you can get some off beat tablets that are cheap. But also consider if it were to break as one user posted. Where do you go to get it fixed? CDR King has them for 5,000 pesos that is about as cheap as I have seen tablets anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Mang Kanor 86 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is there a surplus store or mall in Hong Kong or Singapore where I can shop for tablets? It's too expensive to pick one up here. there are a lot of shops in Bugis and Toah Payoh area, just be very careful when dealing or you'll end up paying more. Link to post Share on other sites
PapaRay 109 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 You are supposed to be able to watch netflicks on the galaxy tab 7 plus. I do not know if you can get it in the Philippines though, but you can in the US. I tried netflix while in the Philippines came back with error not available in my area Link to post Share on other sites
