    Which tablet for a 16yr old?

    In the end we went for the Asus vivo smart tab. It now looks like it will be going back. It went back to the Cech republic last Monday for a repair (no sound). Brilliant we thought, very quick repair. Now it seem all is not well. When you switch it off it seems like the back light is staying on...

    Ok John, which one? Another plus for the tablet is the one's we are looking at come complete with Office, you have to purchase it as a stand alone system with a laptop.

    Which tablet for a 16yr old?

    I have been told by others on another forum I visit to stay away from anything with Windows RT, as its not the full version of Windows. Have been told to stick with Windows 8 or 8.1. I really don't know that much, hence me asking for advice.

    2 problems with wifes computor

    It was simple in the end. Don't know how or why but Explorer was no longer the default browser. I made it the default and all is well. Still don't why it wasn't the default though.

    Virgin Super hub problem

    As I said earlier it was me just being a bit thick as it is working fine now. I don't know if Virgin has improved the "hub" but after watching a video on Virgin's website about how to connect various items is was easy.

    Virgin Super hub problem

    Will have have to have another look about what it says when trying to connect. I think it says something about IP address timed out. As for other things connecting, there is no problem. An Acer and a Dell laptop both connected in about 5 mins each. Two Blackberry's also seem to be working fine.

    Virgin Super hub problem

    Sorry for being a bit thick, but what advantage will that give me. If the "hub" is as bad as you say why don't I just send it back and re-set up the old equipment?

Looked around last night and found on other forums including Virgin's own troubleshooting forum that...
