ASUS Eee Pad Transformer - Android Honeycomb

posted Apr 26, 2011 12:27 AM by Anantha Narayan   [ updated Nov 8, 2011 6:51 PM by Anantha Narayan ]

This is a Netbook Convertible into a Tablet PC. You get the best of both the worlds. A knapsack computer, that huddles in your backpack in an inconspicuous manner. A tablet for that touch screen control and then use it for that "any posture flexibity".

A desktop computer keeps you Shackled to a Desk and Locked-Down in your room, attic, garage, loft or tree-house as the case may be. A laptop may need a Able Bodied Valet to carry it for you or even a set of Wheels to tug it along.

There is a Better way, here it is. Make a switch. A Green, Mobile and Practical Device.

Seagate External Desktop 500-GB Drive

Spacious, quick,plug and play no drivers. 500GB, 1TB, 1.5TB or 2TB capacity. USB 2.0. power management for energy-efficient operation.

Seagate External Desktop 500-GB Drive

I bought one, it solved my overflowing drive problem. It is simple to use. I just left it connected on usb. So far no problems and no glitch. I moved many programs into this drive. It makes no difference.

Initially i did have a problem, probably unique to my computer. I have fed-back the issue to @seagate.

When i connect it directly to PC USB port, other peripherals did not get detected occasional. When i put it thru a 4 port Belkin USB hub it works fine.

So, a USB hub is a must if you are using a computer made before 2004. It is also better to use a Powered hub if you are experimenting with custom peripherals, like embedded systems.
