This is something new we're doing at [H] Consumer. We've given you a number of sproadic editorials over the years, but we want to move into something a bit more steady. We've assembled a very sharp group of people from various backgrounds in our writing staff - including new addition Keith Mullins, author of this article - and we wanted to give them an opportunity to sound off on some consumer issues of note. We hope that this is the first of many to come, and we especially hope that you enjoy reading them.
Thanks for reading!
As mentioned, being connected everywhere is what these computers are made for, but what good is connectivity if you need to bring your laptop along to run all of your applications? This is another major advantage of these new devices. When you are on the road (but please not when you’re driving), you can run the actual tools that you already know from your desktop or laptop and not some barebones approximation of the application. Although the size of the interface is different, using the application is exactly the same. Where before you had to learn a new app (or even OS) for every device, the evolving technology and demands of the marketplace allows users to use their current knowledge of computers so that they can be productive with their new device from day one.
