Asus “ahh sooss”
March 15, 2012 1 Comment
Firstly , I just got to know the pronunciation of Asus is “Ah sooss ” .
However , I have dumped the useless keyboard in my closet and moved on with just the tablet .
The best factor contributing towards this tablet is the size of the screen. I have read comments on not being able to use tablets for lectures and notes which I believe is due to the screen sizes. My tablet’s screen sufficiently has space for my fingers to type comfortably using the QWERTY .
I have no intention of switching from Polaris office yet. It allows me to take notes in a tab just below the slides which does not require me to switch apps. In addition, I use Evernote to take my seminar or revision notes. It enables me to take a picture of the definitions, diagrams, charts etc and tag lecture notes which is my perfect package of revision.
I do not need to use any external devices like a USB because I have eliminated its usage with Dropbox and Evernote.
However , I sometimes still take a handout due to my fear of systems crashing and losing the files. Just to add to the discomfort my battery seems to give up fast I had to sit next to a power point or had to continue with handouts. I have deleted non-academic (non-lecture rather ) apps like facebook , skype etc but it hasn’t helped .
Overall I am still quite satisfied .
Thanks for this, very useful post – glad you use Dropbox and Evernote. The screen on the Asus is particularly bright which makes it ideal to read and edit documents on the device.
Sorry about the keyboard – when I used the Transformer I quite liked the keyboard so either it is defective or it dos not suit everyone.
As for the battery problems you experienced, it must be defective. Two ways to go about it:
- take it back to us while you are not using it and we will contact the manufacturer as the device is still under warranty; they may sort it out within a few days and we could hand the device back to you within a week or so
- or keep using it if it does not bother you too much, and when you hand the device back we’ll get in touch with the manufacturer.
