Fire HD 10 essential set (Amazon)

I carry a notebook PC everywhere I go to a lighter.Perhaps that's the case with programmers and system engineers.

Despite having a notebook PC, it may be the fate of a gadget writer who always wants to use smartphones and tablets like a PC.I don't think I just want to satisfy my greed.

The terminals covered by such greed, and the recent terminals have been obtained by Amazon's "Fire HD 10 essential set (keyboard cover + Microsoft 365 Personal 1 year edition)) 64GB (hereinafter, Essential Set).It is an item that includes not only the terminal body, but also the keyboard, and the one -year usage right of Microsoft 365 Personal.

While thinking about the birth of a dedicated keyboard for the first time as a Fire HD, and being able to use Microsoft 365, I heard the voice from the heavens, "I worked with this," and when I noticed, I was pressing the reservation button.Thanks to this, it arrived on May 26, the release date, and it was a notebook PC to go anywhere, but now I can carry an essential set.

There is no intention

Before entering the Corona, he lived around at presentations, seminars, and exhibitions, and wrote manuscripts on the go.There were many peers near the venue, and it was an environment where nobody felt uncomfortable or "working" even if a laptop PC was opened (personal impressions).)

However, going out has become a world where it has been a bit of a world.I no longer work outside.

However, the delivery date will not wait.The true intention is to hit the keyboard if you have a little time on the go.

Here, the essential set comes in.Because of the ease of "tablet", the burden on the mind is considerably reduced.The weight is 1091g in the Fire HD 10+ keyboard cover, so PC (13 inch MacBook Pro 2020, 1).Because it is lighter than 4kg), the physical burden is slightly reduced.

▲ It's a tablet but it doesn't look like a tablet.But from the point of view of the tablet

In the case of the author, most of the time going out where recent gap time tends to be born is related to hospitals.The style of expanding the essential set in the train or in the hospital waiting room until you go there is being established, starting up the Word and entering the text.

If you're a laptop, you'll probably think, "Wow, what this person is coming to the hospital and working," but it's a tablet and a cheap Fire HD set, so nobody will think about that.Rather, you should be wondering, "I wonder if I watch PrimeVideo and kill time."If you don't seem to be working, you can concentrate for some reason.

The point is that it doesn't look like a conscious system.

Good convenience of cloud preservation

In the Amazon tablet series, most of the services provided by Google can be used (the same is true through Silk browsers and search for Google browsers).Because it is based on Android, it is not impossible to get the app APK file and deploy it, but I want to use it in a regular way as much as possible.Then, you can't use the Google document that you usually use for writing.

That's why Microsoft 365 comes in.

Because it is a tablet version, there are functions that cannot be used compared to the desktop version, but there is no problem if you can enter the text.There is a little habit in IME, but once you get used to it, there is nothing to do.You can enter more and more.

Even if the name is called from the reception, even if it is before completion, thanks to purchasing a regular Microsoft 365 subscription service, it is automatically synchronized with oneDrive that can be used up to 1TB, so "I have saved it.You don't have to worry.

You can also seamlessly, open the writings stored in OneDrive from your PC after returning home.It was really nice to make an essential set.

There is a habit on the keyboard!

By the way, I wrote "I can enter more and more", but it is actually a bit confusing.

That's because the array of the keyboard is irregular.

If it is a keyboard for Windows PC, there is a "half -width / full -width" key at the top of the character key, usually "1" to "0" engraved on the key top.For Mac, the key top of "1" is wide, and a touch type is possible with the same feeling as the Windows PC keyboard.

However, the number keys on the Fire HD 10 dedicated keyboard are generally shifted to the left.Because there is "2" directly above "Q", you must extend your finger to the left side than usual.

▲ Fire tablet's first dedicated keyboard (also covered)

▲ Keyboard comparison with MacBook Pro.The top is a Fire HD 10 dedicated keyboard, and the bottom is MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020.You can see that the Fire HD 10 dedicated keyboard is almost the same as the second stage of the character key.

The trouble is that the "6" in which the right hand is in touch type is located at the "5" position of the normal keyboard array, so you have to extend your finger.Because the left hand remembers "twist your hands outward", the right hand has the feeling of "twisting out" and cannot be input well.

(Note: The touch type is a movement that is learned by the body without thinking in the brain, so there is no discomfort in the sense).

However, this is not a big problem if you are a Roman character input group.You will surely be able to enter as a notebook PC.

However, the writer is "Kana input group".What is Kana input? Press "Su (R)", press "I (E)", press "I", and press "Ka (T)".This is an input method in which you enter "" "and enter it with a letter that is literally engraved.Therefore, the top row is also used a lot.In particular, ",", "ya", "o", etc. are often used in sentences."Good" is one of them.

In order to enter with a sense without thinking, even if you are told, "You should be careful about" Nufuuuuuyuyo ", you type those characters without being aware of it.So I can't be careful.

That's why the diagonal hold of the terminal was created.Usually, the keyboard is set up in front of you, but exceptionally, only when inputting in the essential set is exceptionally.By placing the left side slightly from the body, the left hand naturally turns outward and the right hand is inward, making it easier to enter the top key.Not perfect.

Nevertheless, the keystrokes are solid and the key pitch is wide, so it is excellent as a tablet keyboard.Isn't it a good level for Roman input groups?

▲ The key pitch is 1.Easy to enter at about 7mm

It's embarrassing to hold it a little diagonally, but it was a gadget that I felt like I bought it as an item that I can carry around (because it is not afraid to break it) and work everywhere.。
