Lenovo Deal that you should take advantage of…

I just picked up the 8 inch Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8 . It is selling right now on Lenovo’s site they are selling for $139.39 and I can’t imagine them being around for long at this price. While is isn’t running the most current version of Android, it does have a lot of features that make it quite desirable. While I wish the screen was larger the 8 inch is bright and the unit feels good in your hand when you hold it especially when you have it in portrait mode.

It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8009 processor, comes with android 5.1 installed, the speaker is quite loud so there isn’t a problem hearing it. The battery life is quite impressive up to 20 hours of usage time. It has a SD Card slot that allows you to expand it up to 128GB’s. There is an 8MP integrated camera, only has  80d.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0.

The unit is very comparable to Amazon Tablets in size and so far as I have seen is working well with of the apps that I have thrown at it. I basically purchased it to replace the TV that I have under the counter in the kitchen, I am thinking that it is going to fail sometime in the near feature and this will be a good replacement for that unit as well as being able to carry it around as desired.

So, I have it all set up with my wife’s favorite apps and I hope that she will enjoy it.

Need to check the calendar? Here’s a quick method of doing so in Windows 10.

IF you don’t have Outlook open and you don’t want to wait for it to open up then here is a quick and easy method of gaining access to your calendar information.

Windows 10 has added a easy method of checking what you have on your calendar by clicking on the date/time on your task bar. Look on the left had side of the taskbar and you will see something that should like the image below.

If you click with the left mouse button on the date/time you will see a pop-up calendar highlighting today’s date with your current appointments listed. See image to the left.

When you click on different dates, that date’s appointments will appear in the list at the bottom of the screen. You can use the up and down arrows to change the month.

To jump quickly to another month or year click on the Month/Year heading and a pop-up will be displayed for quickly moving to the year and month you want to work in. That displays a list of months for the current year. Use the up and down arrows to change years or click the year heading to jump to a list of all years in the current decade.

To quickly jump back to the current date click on the date line above the calendar and below the time display and you will instantly move back to the current date.
