    Oh, she was raised on Linux. She’ll do fine with that and have already shown it to her and she’s excited.

      That’s awesome! I should clarify though cause I’m said it weirdly. not that this one is complicated, I just mean that the galaxy tab is way more portable since it’s actually a mobile device rather than a pheriphal. Either way if I was still young and I got something like this for drawing I would have been STOKED. I hope she enjoys whatever you go for!

      What went wrong, that she wants an iPad then?

      I have one from school and I had to set up a samba server to transfer files (bigger than like 20mb, the small ones I could have transferred with the same software we use to download worksheets that the teachers upload, but that’s browser only too) before we got a cloud from the school. I HATE the iPad, I can’t even automatically copy the files from my note taking app to the cloud, I have to do it manually.

        Her grandfather has one, but he has the high dollar version and thinks she’s going to somehow talk one of the family into getting her one. The best she got out of anyone was a chromebook.

          I guess they seem pretty nice if you don’t care about customizability or compatibility with other devices.
