I see that the proper name and description was given to the device in question. I run both a tablet and a laptop in my company vehicle, though soon we willl be going to tablets and putting the laptop away. Due to what I use both devices for I can see where someone may want a lap- top. I see all

For Thinkpads just Google "thinkpad 12v power supply" they range from 65w to 90w. I have a 90 watt one on my vehicle computer and I keep another one for my X200/201 machines. Here is one on Amazone for $15.00 http://www.amazon.com/Vehicle-Cigarette-Lighter-Charger-ThinkPad/dp/B008LVHEJA Do no

[PLUG] Survey: what make/model router do you use at home?

Galen Seitz and I are working on a project where we encountered a "bug" in our hardware/software when connecting to certain off-the-shelf wifi routers, involving the 4way handshake associated with RSN/WPA2. We are trying to estimate the probability that customers are going to encounter this in

What do you call the kind of portable computer where the screen can be swiveled around and folded so that you're holding it the way you'd hold a tablet? I thought I'd seen the designation netbook applied to them, but the ones I've looked up don't offer the feature that makes it kind of like a

They're called 2-in-1s, however, you don't need one for that. Why not use an old Android Phone or even a tablet, that has a MicroSD card slot? An old phone can be free if you already have it, or nearly free if you're getting one used from FreeGeek or the Salvation Army. As long as the screen works

[PLUG] Dual Monitor Mint 17.1 Compiz question

Folks, The other day I was at Free Geek looking for something for a job, they had a nice little computer there at a price I could not resist, so I bought it. It had Mint 17.1 installed, I brought it home and proceeded to bring up Compiz on it. I have two monitors running, but I can not appear to

I'm fairly certain you can still walk into any carrier store (AT, Verizon, Sprint, etc), or one of the big box stores (Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Fry's), or even Radio Shack if you can still find one, and pick up a dumb phone for free with contract. The contracts can even be pretty cheap, without

OK, I revise my previous answer... IF you are precluding devices capable of getting on the internet altogether, then that boat sailed circa 2005. I'm not really kidding... That's when Cingular and Verizon switched off their Analog towers, and forced everyone over to Digital... ALL of the
