Hi all,
My tablet died recently and I'm casting round for an alternative.
I *_don't_* want a tablet again. Android was trying to (and sometimes succeeding) track my location too often for my liking!
So, I found this:
Now, I'm not much of a hardward guy, so I would like a little guidance here.
=======
SUPPORTS HDD UPTO 1TB - Your new Lapbook comes
with 4GB RAM and 32GB of on-board eMMC storage with the option to
expand the memory up to 256GB with a Micro SD card (tf-card) or Insert a
HDD (upto 1TB) and increase the internal storage immediately.
=======
BUT! - further down the page:
========
and it is backed with a HDD slot (not all HDDs compatible, please check
with Fusion5 for compatible HDDs readily available in the market) which
can take upto 1TB HDD.
========
What does this mean exactly?
The company's web site (Fusion5) is recommending a 2.5" from Barracuda.
My thoughts are that surely if Barracuda works, they will? Aren't these things made to standard specs?
Any advice, references, recommendations for other h/ware most welcome!
TIA and rgs,
Pól...

Greetings,
If you are on a budget and want something that goes very well with
Linux, it's small and powerful enough I would strongly recommend a
ThinkPad X230.
You can use any 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HD, it has USB 3.0 ports and you
can also use a mSATA SSD.
I got mine for around 180 Euro at laptopmarket.ie
They ram two RAM slots and you can upgrade up to 2x8GB for a total of
16 GB of RAM, which is crazy.
