TechTablets.com is a great site for these imported tablets, he gives loads of great info. Here's the page on the Teclast M16: https://techtablets.com/teclast-m16/

 

I did get the 3600 CL18 for 5 Euros less than the 3200 CL16. Thanks again for asking.

 

Yeah saw that. Bit naughty about the bezels but I kinda suspected that with it being sub £200.

Not going to bother with the keyboard.

Would be nice to stream PS4 games to.

 

Oh, that's proper naughty of them photoshopping the bezels to look about half their actual size!

 

Tickets for Kennedy Space Centre, Cape Canaveral, a tour of Space Shuttle Atlantis and lunch with an astronaut, for the near future.

And there is no possible way I could be any more stoked.

 

That is so awesome i've gone beyond envy to being actually pleased for you.

Awesome, bloody awesome.

 

It’s all for my daughter, clearly. Anything for the kids...

I’m not at all excited to the point of almost welling up booking the tickets. Not at all. No.

Read that as launch for a second

 

Sadly I wasn’t free on that day.

Also front row seats for it are $200/ea. For what, 30 seconds?

I mean, that wouldn’t have stopped me... but I wasn’t free :/

 

Mister Tad, i went to the Kennedy Space Centre when i was there in April, you will not be disappointed!

 

Reeeee-zult.

 

A friend of mine went years ago for an Atlantis launch, and told me the gift shop didn't take Amex!

 

Pah, that means I won't be able to slam all of it on the corporate card and claim it as "staff entertainment" :/

 

A few odds and sods to improve the life of my little amp. IE: New tubes and some resistors to drop the voltage that gets fed to them so they don't run like incandescent bulbs when they get fitted.

 

An Elegoo Mars resin 3D printer and assorted accessories. My Xmas prezzie to future me.


EDIT:- For all those liking this post, it's only £230 at Amazon right now.

 

He's got a video up now.

TBH it does everything I want it to. Email, Facebook, YouTube. I'm sure it'll run neo geo and snes ok too.

Bezels is a ******'s trick, though again not a deal breaker.

If I don't like it then I'll back it, but I'm sure it'll live up to what I'm expecting of it.

 

You'll absolutely love it. Highly recommend getting there as early as possible. We have been several times over the last few years and still enjoy going. Once you finish, Satellite Beach and Cocoa Beach is not far away and have excellent food options and make a relaxing evening although you won't see a sunset.

There's plenty to do with the kids and the Atlantis exhibition is beathtaking (an i'm hard to please).

 

The moment you walk in and see Atlantis

I never realised the shear size of the land they own. It has its own motorway running through it A very informative and thought provoking place

 

I went when I was 7 and they're to this day standing at the back of the Saturn V looking into the rockets is one of my fondest memories.

Really looking forward to refreshing them and sharing with Small_Tad. She's had the genius idea of taking a a chunk of the Lego Saturn V to get any astronauts we meet to autograph.

In other news, and at the risk of further re-igniting Apple-based debate, was talking to Mrs_Tad this morning about laptops, and her upcoming birthday, and one thing led to another.

And the latest, latest purchase is a MacBook Air for her.



Apparently we're really committing hard to this Apple switchover.
