Looking for a small laptop or tablet to take to Europe to review and store photos. Tried a Samsung tablet but it cannot store (backup) photos. What do you recommend.
While I realize that there are different models of tablets, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
No problems storing photos at all.
Hook up the tablet to the desktop or laptop, (with the USB cable, also used for charging the battery) and desktop or laptop sees the tablet as a separate drive.
Or transfer the photos with Wi-Fi - if your camera is Wi-Fi capable, this might be a good option.
Or put the photos on a micro-SD card and pop that into the slot on the top-edge of the tablet. You may have to go through the file-system to see photos from the mSD card, I find they don't necessarily show up in the Gallery.
The biggest problem may be finding a computer to act as "middle-man."
Whatever method you'd settle on, try it out and become comfortable with it before you head across the pond.
Just thinking of another option: If your camera has two slots for memory cards, copy one card to the other, keep one in your own pocket/suitcase, give the other one to your travel-companion or put in a different place, for safe-keeping.
EDIT: Right now I am trying out a small Notebook (ASUS 12" ) with Win8 for "everything": e-mail, photo storage, Solitaire, etc. It has USB ports, an SD-card port, a keyboard, and I can use a mouse with it. Want to know all the ins and outs before going on holidays and using it "for real".
