In my recent post on the popular Windows 8 Tablets thread, I mentioned that I would start a new thread to get your feedback on starting a new thread/resource/whatever on (say) “Windows 10 Devices for Field Work”
In this thread, I am looking for your opinions and feedback on what you'd like to see - improvements, etc.
I'd like to start including devices that are not strictly Tablets in the traditional/conventional sense (i.e to break out "Pad" type devices from "Tablets" but also include "2-in-1" devices and even peripherals that are specific (or very closely related) to Windows 10 devices when used in the field.
The video linked below on Windows 10 uses a device which is not really a Tablet, per se – it is more of a “2-in-1” device. (It happens to be a really nice device, BTW – one I recommend for some folks.) I think this sort of illustrates some of the need in setting up a new thread, or whatever. I see all sorts of questions on this forum site about Windows 10 and can tell that many folks are confused about things (“Is the upgrade free or will it ‘revert’ to W7 or W8?”, “How is the performance – is it really slower?”, “I don’t have a Tablet yet – How can I use it on my desktop/laptop?”, “Microsoft has some evil plan where they are forcing/tricking us into ________” and that sort of thing. ) In any case, you might be interested in this short video, done by the respected Lisa Gade, which goes over the “RTM” build (101240) of W10 that many of us have been rocking for the past two weeks or so. Of course, ther have been updates since she did this video, and updates will continue (and YES, there is an official way to block/hide updates to an extent) but still, it gives a pretty good overview in mostly layman’s terms about the most critical items, and does do using a pen-enabled 2-in1 to boot
Using this video (and featured device) as an example, I would anticipate letting you know why I recommend this device for some folks (who, when, etc.) and conversely, who/when it is not the best choice...
Let me know your thoughts on what you'd like to see in my coverage of W10 devices for field work. I cannot promise that we'll be able to accommodate every desire/request (or even most?) nor that I will be your best (or concise, LOL) source of information, but I remain committed to try and help where I can - you just gotta let me know what you want to see... ;-)
