RCA Cambio 10 Review

On Christmas I received the RCA Cambio 10, tablet with keyboard. I had put it on my Christmas list because I wanted something portable, lightweight and able to use for downloading photos without having to carry my full size laptop.

Folded shut, keyboard protects the screen.

Open as a laptop.

Following are some specs:

Windows 10

Intel Z3735 Processor

2GB Ram

6 Hour Battery Life

1xDC in

1xMicrophone

1xHeadset

1xMini HDMI

1xMicro USB 2.0

1xUSB 2.0

SD Card Slot for additional Storage. I have a 64GB in this for storage.

I have used this now nearly every day since Christmas and it performs very well. It runs very fast and plays videos well. I have done a little experiment and downloaded iTunes onto the machine. It took up a great deal of space on the internal storage, however it did not slow it down. I have also downloaded Microsoft Movie Maker. I don't plan to store much on the machine, but on vacation I will be able to download my video and photos and do some editing.

Loaded in the apps is Microsoft Excel, Word and Powerpoint as read only apps. The keyboard is small and is very difficult to do any regular typing. I can type quick enough by only using a couple of fingers. But with only have read only on Microsoft it is really not an issue.

The mouse pad is a little sensitive, but still works well. I can also use a standard mouse via the USB. I have not detached the tablet from the keyboard as I really prefer a laptop.

I need to purchase a MiniHDMI to HDMI cable so that I can test how this will work for playing movies/video on the TV. I have connected USB and moved photos back and forth and it works well.

So if you are looking for something small and portable for web browsing and other tasks you can not beat this Windows tablet for the price.

Easter

Easter has come and gone. It was a very busy couple of days. We started out with Brendan getting very sick Wednesday night. Luckily he was feeling better on Friday and we were able to enjoy the holiday.. Mom and Dad came out on Saturday. We met them at Backwood's and had a late lunch. We then came back to our house to color eggs and visit. Mom's Work Mom also brought this with her. This was my grandmother's Lutheran Hymnal. It was given to her on her confirmation. It is over 100 years old and in German. Mom also has her bible. She is giving this to Amelith Lutheran Church. We all had a really good time and it was a full day. On Sunday we went to church and then to Michelle's mom and dad's for a late lunch and the annual easter egg hunt. The kids had fun as always. We had a really good meal then Michelle and I took a 2+ mile walk...

Summer Vacation: Day 6

We had a light breakfast and Michelle and I had to do a quick shopping trip. We returned and had baked ravioli, salad and garlic toast. A very good meal to hold us on our road trip. Our stop was the Fayette Historic Townsite. This was a mining town that was abandoned. The State of Michigan bought the site and turned it into a State Park. Some of the buildings have been restored and others have not. Some work has been done to some so they can remain standing. The Smelting building. Slag is a waste product of the smelting process. Michelle has been finding a lot of slag on our trip. It is called many things and is in demand by rock hunters and jewelry makers. We returned to the house and had sandwiches before departing for Escanaba. We found a spot to fish, I spotted small beach for Michelle to look for rocks. We caught a couple fish, nothing to really talk about. Michelle and Kayla found a l...

Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather. We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing. I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River. I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name. I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us. Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up. I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi. An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house. On the way I started to have some chest pain. After showering it had not let up. ...
