I Ditched my Nexus 9

this here episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by domain.com what's going on everyone Jon render from TechnoBuffalo he foreknew to the channel and been following us for years I like to share what device I'm using in my personal life I know I've got the distinct privilege of being able to try everything out there so that I'd share what I choose to use for the past four to five months for my dedicated tablet at home I've been using the Nexus 9 I previously used Apple iPads either the iPad Mini or the iPad iPad air all the way through till it first came out as the only tablet and I really took a liking to the Nexus 9 I think Android on tablets really matured with the Nexus 9 particular with lollipops really excited to use the Nexus 9 and I've absolutely loved the heck out of that thing I traveller that came with me absolutely everywhere I went and it had been almost flawless I was the kind of person that was checking every six minutes to try and get the five point one a bit on I didn't want to force it over I wanted to come sort of organically over there like everybody else so I waited and I waited five put one finally hit and I was excited I installed it and then things start to go downhill with my Nexus 9 Google Play server to start to just totally crash on me all the time I would say I have to redownload services YouTube stops working all the Google Apps I use all the time would just log me out the tablet got really buggy it start to get warm and just started to go from great experience to a not so great experience so if I didn't have the opportunity to switch tablets often I would stick with the Nexus 9 and probably be fine because I do have the opportunity I decided to try something new that I would necessarily think to try and that's this guy this is the Dell Venue 8 7000 series marked the review on it now a few months ago I wanted to try something that I wouldn't ordinarily pick up and use and Dell is definitely not the first thing I think of when I comes to tablets I wanted to give it a shot I've really liked the Android experience on a tablet so I wanted to stick with that I didn't want to go to Apple or something different so if you're not familiar with this guy it's an 8 point 4 inch screen it's 2560 by 1600 so it's qHD it's kind of a weird design though let's get this big chin hump we've got a camera down below you've got three intel realsense cameras and odd locations so everyone try and take a picture one of your fingers is going to be covering the back of it I've got the 60 gigabyte version here they've got a higher capacity I believe 32 now this one starts at 309 so it's relatively inexpensive to get into the tablet tablet world and it's one of the thinnest tablets also going at six millimeters thin it's crazy thin just got upgrade the lollipop so I figured it's 5.0 - it's not 5.1 yet so let's give it a shot also I hadn't really use anything with an Intel Atom chip you know regularly for months after months after a review so I wanted to try this guy to see how a performance got the quad core Atom chip in there and I've been really impressed with it it's only been like now about five days since I made the switch but overall it's been a really good experience before before everybody yells at me Adele's not paying me to say this I'm just trying to tablets I liked it I'm the opportunity to try it my wife and I watch netflix every night before bed and I was kind of worried about this big speaker grille on the bottom when you hold the tablet your hand is covering the speaker so I thought that sound would be muffled but there's some sort of wizardry or magic in here where the speakers sound fine but also very weird for tablet that sort of metal coated on the back it doesn't get warm which is surprising we've got an idea for next great website domain comm has you covered they woke you up with a great offer save 20% on domain names and web hosting when you use coupon code TechnoBuffalo that's all capital letters one word at domaine comms check out I think domain names think domain.com when issues I had with the Nexus 9 was battery drink got really bad the battery life so far this guy has been pretty nice I would have liked bigger storage as the entry point 16 gigs is not that much just have an SD card slot I put an SD card in there it's all the few apps on it but mostly I'm still relying on the internal storage here one of the things that I liked and this core true with any Android tablet now are any Android device or iOS device I guess for that now matter is the new Photos app so I can get all my photos that I use from an iPhone or from Android device and they'll catch up with my tablet over the cloud that taking up storage which have been really cool I will say the realsense technology which lets you do things like focus after the fact all kinds of other camera stuff I've had zero use for the back is also black and glossy looks like when it's nice when it's clean but it's hardly ever been clean but I will say I like the tablet a lot I wish it was a little bit bigger they do offer a 10-inch version but it's got a weird sort of like battery handle hinge you can use for a keyboard dock so this is what we're left with 8.4 inch screen it's been nice and relatively impressive and I'm excited to keep using and see if my opinion on it changes but overall it's been really good I will say if you're thinking about getting one I ordered a case from Amazon my thought would be fine a little flipped case but turns out they had the thing in Reverse so when you put it in to open it up like a book it opens reverse and that was very annoying so if you get one make sure you check the cases that you buy Dells happy to send you a very overpriced one for like 50 bucks so anyway else you guys know what I think mark let gettin's review so I'm curious to to try it I will say though the 5.1 update does hit it while I'm using it not so sure I'm going to hit that upgrade button I think I want to know about this let me know anything you want me to test you know it's got the Intel chip in it it's made by Dell which wouldn't expect I'm kind of enjoying it and then you guys like to know what I'm using if this one doesn't work or starts to suck I might go back to the Nvidia shield tablet I really like that guy too but I figured in CEREC tested that ahead and tried this one I'm gonna give it a whirl and I thank you guys for watching hope you enjoy if you want to know what else I'm carrying what else I'm using let me know I'll be sure to sort of to update videos if I try to switch something different if you like to video too big subscribe button I appreciate it until next time Jon render free TechnoBuffalo i'll talk to you friendo in the next video
