Size-wise, the Satellite is easy to carry – it really will fit into just about any bag pocket you have. I set it to start playing Season 1 and Season 2 of Sherlock and it finally lost power near the end of the first episode of Season 2. I can verify that it gets between 4 and 5 hours. The device is supposed to get you up to 25 hours of standby life (when turned on) and about 5 hours of continuous streaming movies.

It supports both USB 3.0 and 2.0, so if you've got a new high-speed USB 3.0 port on your computer, you'll find blazing transfer speeds as I did, with a single 1GB movie transferring over to the Satellite in about 15-20 seconds. Transferring files to the Satellite is easy. I've even gone so far as to investigate whether I could make a complete jump to the iPad and lose the laptop entirely – but the somewhat obvious answer to that investigation is Not Yet. As a matter of fact, there are days when I don't even touch my MacBook Air and instead rely solely on the tablet. I find myself using it more and more for email, web browsing, tweeting, and game playing. When it comes to my iPad's features and functionality, I'm pretty happy. But I'm not done.įor the past few weeks I've been testing a variety of hardware and software related to the iPad. Downloading apps and streaming video have both improved, and given just how much I rely on my iPad these days for email, reminders, entertainment, and other functions, it was a much needed upgrade.

The biggest improvement from this upgrade has been the noticeable improvement in the two iPads' connectivity. The router upgrade (to 802.11n) benefited all of my family's devices, including the two iPads, the MacBook Air, and my wife's 802.11g laptop that is now connected via HomePlug instead of WiFi. Yesterday, I wrote about upgrading my home network.
