You can’t look at this tablet without getting down to its raison d’etre, and that’s the built in keyboard which is revealed by sliding back the screen. It’s smaller than we’d have hoped, and more cramped than the Asus Transformer, which is its main competitor. If you have fat fingers then you’ll need to find a different tablet to write your memoirs, but even chunky-digited folk will still be able [...]

Unless you have a system worked out, you’re no doubt familiar with the idea of “walking down a wire” to find out what plug goes to which gadget, computer, monitor or what have you.
