Which Android Tablet to Get? True iPad2 Competition Here.

in , , ,

Wow, I lost count of how many Android based tablets I saw at Computex in Taipei this year.  Literally hundreds of models that are out, available, or coming out.  There are still only a few that you shouldseriously consider if you want the best Android experience though, and I will go over these here.

Hardware differences:

The latest tablets (running 3.x HoneyComb) from the top manufacturers all have very similar specs CPU hardware side and so will have very similar performance.  The differences you will see will be in screen size and quality, physical casing dimensions and materials, ports, built-in camera(s), and accessories.

Newegg Hard Drive Gone Bad, They Want $9 To Ship it Back 5 Miles

in ,

OK, the drive itself was cheap!  I posted about the 2TB deal a short while ago.  Now that it's DOA, I'm going to have to ship it back for a replacement at my cost bringing the total price a bit higher than a special local Fry's deal.

Newegg says their deeply discounted UPS partner will give me a discounted rate - but its $9.  That's not the rate I was expecting for a RMA address that's just over 5 miles from here.

Newegg really should take a close look at the online leader Amazon who would immediately send a replacement overnight shipping at my cost as well as provide a return shipping label, shipping / handling pre-paid right back to them.
