Are Windows 8 convertible laptops being given a fair chance?
Dear CNET members,
Happy Friday! This week's topic comes from community member "ajtrek," and if you've followed this community newsletter on a regular basis, he shouldn't be a stranger; he has contributed many times with invaluable knowledge and advice on some of our members' topics. (If the username doesn't ring a bell,he's the one who always ends his posts with "Together Everyone Achieves More.")
While this week's topic isn't so much a tech how-to question, I figured we'd all pitch in to help ajtrek out with his question about Windows 8 convertible machines (some examples: Microsoft Surface, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, Sony Vaio Duo 11). He asks for your thoughts on these machines and if you think they are being given a fair chance. He feels that many expert reviews "are trying too hard to pigeonhole these new devices to be what they want them to be and therefore they fail to make the mark," suggesting that these machines have been criticized about design and not about performance. Given that, I'd like for all you to give his question a read, see what some of our members had to say, and add your thoughts. Thanks, everyone, for your participation. Have an awesome weekend! | | | |
 | | Q: Security on tablets, should we be concerned? | | On my Windows PC I have firewall, anti-spam, anti-key logger, and antivirus to prevent breaches of security. On my iPad there is apparently there is no need for any of these, at least to my knowledge. I can use my bank's app for secure transactions as well as other secure transactions. Why is there such a huge difference in approach to these devices, and is the iPad safe out of the box? What about other tablets running Android or Windows tablets, are they safe also? Since there are so many tablets out in the market these days, should tablets users be concerned with security? Thanks for any insights and advice that you may have. | | -- Submitted by: Mike S. | If you have an answer to this question, click here and click the "reply" to submit your advice, suggestions, opinions, or tips.
