[AT] OT - Tablet computers

[szabelski at wildblue.net]

If you know some of the people she works with, ask them what they use and if they have any preferences. 

I would prefer Apple myself. You don’t need the top of the line I-pad (ie: a gazillion megs of RAM, a gazillion pallet colors, etc.). Once you talk to her coworkers, talk to someone at an Apple store if you want to go Apple, or to a TI person at something like Best Buy if you want to go anything else.

Also, Apple used to offer discounts for students, don’t know if they still do. So if she’s taking any classes, she may qualify for a discount, I think it was 10-15%. Only trouble is that she would have to be the one buying the laptop and would have to provide her student ID. That would mean that you would have to take her to the store for her birthday and surprise her in the store. Just make up some story for going there maybe a day or two early.

What I did for my wife, was I took my daughter, who was in college at the time, and I used her student ID. I told the Apple worker, it was for her school work and I was paying for it. I also bought it in New Hampshire and there’s no tax there.

Subject: [AT] OT - Tablet computers

Seems like a slow day, so I thought I'd ask about tablet computers. My
wife has an I-pad that is about 7 years old or so, it is extremely slow
and freezes often, leaving her frustrated. She has a birthday coming up
so I thought I'd buy her a new tablet. I'm a little overwhelmed. Here's
what she needs it for: general web surfing, Facebook, and looking up
medical cases for the next day. She's in the OR, and the University uses
a double verification system in order for her to log into her work
email, and patient charts, so it would need the ability to do that.  I
can try to find the name of the program if necessary. I would prefer to
stay away from Apple, simply due to the cost. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Regards,
Mike M
