Windows Laptop or Tablet – or Laplet?

I have too much computer technology:

• 10″ android tablet
• 7″ android tablet
• 15″ windows laptop
• A bunch of android phones

I use the phone and the laptop a lot.  BUT the laptop is just a bit too clunky for travel. So….   enter the Windows Laplet.

I want a windows device, because I have some particular apps I want to run that are only available under windows.  Also I am very well versed in c# and .Net, so its easy for me to write for this platform.

I ended up buying a Lenovo MIIx 300 Windows tablet with keyboard docking station.  Basically it is a Windows Netbook with a removeable laptop.

 

Pros

• Its windows
• It can sit on my lap without tipping over
• Its small 10.1″
• Lots of goof reviews for reliability
• Remote desktop works just fine

Cons

• The keyboard is “compressed”, and I do make a lot of mistakes
• 2GB of ram is not a heck of a lot

Anyways, it will be just fine for travel.Movies, internet, facebook, trello and remote desktop.

 

 

Concrete Stand for RF45 Mill

I hated the adjustable feet I put on my RF45 mill. When sitting on the stock stand,  there is WAY too much movement.  Well forget that!

I decided to fill the whole darn thing with cement, and bolt it to the floor.  Works like a charm.  Solid as a rock.
