From:The first android tablet I got was the ridic expensive Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, at the time the largest and most overpowered tablet out there; it was about the equivalent of a chrome book. It could run a version of Microsoft Office if I wanted to pay for it (hint: I did not). I bought an office bundle on Google Play that was designed for tablets and far more compatible, and I could open, read, and even edit full design documents, three hundred goddamn pages. Sure, it took a minute to finish loading, but good God. I could even edit fic on it with that screen size.
Can't lie, I wanted it so badly I'd stare at the specs on Amazon lustfully, but seriously, the 2014 price tag was $599 so you can guess how very no until I got--from nowhere--an unexpected windfall of money (I have an entry about the utterly wtf of that day) that was just the price. And with very little effort--took me roughly the amount of time required to move it from my wishlist to the cart--I had a reason to buy it: we didn't have two monitors at work at the time, so I could load design documents on it to reference when writing or running tests. And as we hadn't been given laptops but desktops (unlike the contractors), I could take it to meetings and take notes that could actually read later.
And so I did-even got the case keyboard for it!--which led to my mom staring at it yearningly until she broke and got one herself, beginning what is now a love affair with Galaxy tablets. She was still using hers until a couple of weeks ago it finally broke--that thing lasted five years--and promptly got the same one I bought at the end of January for my birthday that she'd seen me playing with.
