Sounds like a good enough excuse to go fishing or whatever floats your boat!

Stone tablets. Clay tablets if you are feeling artsy-fartsy. We all need to get back to basics. Screw this technology crap. Nothing but misery and suffering.

Notepad is making a comeback! You can also use WordPad if you want/need to get really fancy.

If a company I work for can't get me a license for TextPad, I demand Notepad++.
If they can't give me at least that, they're not a company I can work for.

Hi all,
Does anyone have this device? Chuwi Official 10.1 Inch Chuwi Hi10 Air Tablet[^]
Is it working smoothly?
I mean it's a Windows 10 convertible tablet with plenty of connections for a small price.
Is that processor capable to navigate the web, use PDF documents, excel and word files, Outlook?
I'm thinking about making a gift to my parents to replace an old computer that is giving them headaches...
Thank you all!

I've got the Hi12 (2017, so it's two years old now) and it has a lower spec processor but the same RAM.
(See Take three tablets and call me in the morning - the Chuwi Hi12[^])
It'll browse the web, read PDF and epub, run LibreOffice, VS, email, Corel PaintShop Pro X9 ... everything I've thrown at it.
Gripes after two years? The magnetic keyboard connectors have bent, so I don't use the keyboard any more, and the pen was a waste of space. Oh, and it was too big to comfortably run Android as it felt like a preschool tablet with icons that big!
I'd say the Air will do everything that does, and more.

A little - CP refresh can be slow using Chrome - but it's certainly not a real problem for me.
I suspect that's the WiFi module, which gives me a speed about half that of my desktop.
Before 08:00 and after 19:00 I'm usually on the Wookietab rather than the desktop, so it works pretty well for CP.

I've got two Chuwi tablets: a 10/1" and a 12".
They have both made me very happy -- the fact that they're not crippled by phone OSes and their USB ports are pretty big contributors to that.
I can't say enough good about them.
The bad (for the 10.1 inch, which I tend to be less gentle with) is that the screens break bloody easily -- I've had to replace it twice (at a cost of about a tenner, from ebay), because a single (biggish) crack stops touch working altogether.
But if you're not as physically abusive to your gadgets as I am (or if you don't have nightmares about fixing hardware), I'm sure you'll be much happier with it than you would be with an android or apple equivalent.
