This week has been quite an exciting one in the Min household, so let me tell you some more. Having been an apple fanboy all my life (if the gadget doesn't start with an i...I didn't get it.) Well, this week I have broken that rule and brought a...wait for it...wait for it...an Android device!!
Yes I know what your gonna say, but stick with me and all will be revealed. It started off quite innocently. Reading the gadget news (what other kind of news is there?), I saw that Tesco (the brand you normally think of straight after Apple) was about to launch a new tablet called the Hudl ( see what they did there...)
Having checked out the spec, and the trade reviews it certainly looked quite tempting. And at less than half the price of an iPad Mini, it seemed a bargain at £119.
The deal became even sweeter when I discovered from the Tesco club card site that I had actually accumulated £25 of vouchers for the £1.25m. of shopping I had done at that place. This £25 was worth £50 in a scheme they are currently running called Tesco Boost if you buy from their Tesco Direct website. So the gadget was now only gonna cost £69!!
Because I'm quite a selfless kind of chap (and a bit cheap), what with Rajvi's birthday coming up this month, I thought job done!
I chose the click and collect option and collected it from my local Tesco express with my milk on Wednesday (launch day).
And what's my view I hear you cry?..we'll stop crying my blog friends, the news is good, the news is fantastic!!
I have not been this excited since Mrs Min said she would marry me 20 years ago as she said my jokes and love for gadgets was all she was looking for in a man.
The tablet comes with a mini HDMI slot so you can connect it with your TV and watch HD quality stuff, the speed of it is fantastic, all the same apps as the iPad and you can expand the memory from the 16gig standard internal to 48gig, via the external microSD slot. (Yep done that already). Even brought a little case to keep my new friend safe (£3 from China on EBay)
So got it all set up and thought, rather than waiting the 3 weeks for Rajvi's birthday, I thought I'd give her a surprise and give it to her straight away.
The response was, and I quote..."err what's that? No thanks Dad, don't be so cheap, I'll wait for the IPad 5"
Which actually was fine for me as I have become quite fond of it and for a small man like me, the 7inch tablet is like a full size iPad would be for a normal sized human.
Min marks out of 10... 9.79. Get one 'for your "kids"', you won't regret it!
Right, let's leave it there! Have a lovely weekend and a great sleep!
