Folks, I am sorry for taking so long on releasing this blog, but managing my YouTube Channel and this blog is real time consuming. I am trying my best to juggle the two as best as possible, but I had some major video editing to do and uploads on my channel which took me longer than I expected. Anyhow… It’s a month away from Christmas and this is the most
hectic time for me. I have got stacks of devices on my desk
to review. My work cut out for me till the holidays finish. Let’s
cut this stack down by reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Tab S (Tab S).
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S is an android tablet that has all,
and I repeat, the entire main feature you would find on a Galaxy S5. The only
difference is this is an 8.4-inch tablet while the Galaxy S5 is much smaller.
The Tab S shares many of the design pointers
from the Galaxy S5 as well like the soft-touch dot-effect back and physical
home button on the front which doubles as a finger print scanner, a fantastic
high resolution display, and an Octa-Core processor with 3GB of RAM. The whole
device is governed by the latest Android 4.4 KitKat software; well the latest
as of now is the Android Lollipop OS, but that explanation can be saved for
another time.
What more do you need?
The truth about new devices these days are the improvements
are not visual at all. It’s always… more memory this or more processor that or
bigger screen this. None of which is really relevant to the consumer, but the
Tab S has all that and a bit more. What does the Tab S offer that you can’t
find on another Android tablet? I present to you 3 points on that topic.
- A Super AMOLED 1600 x 2560 pixels display that is ideal for reading texts or watching movies.
- An 8 megapixel camera with flash to take photos in the night.
- A finger print scanner that allows you to unlock your device using your own biometrics.
Final Thoughts
For a price tag that’s around $60,000JMD; the Samsung Galaxy
Tab S isn’t the cheapest android tablet I have seen, but with such great craftsmanship and attention to detail I can honestly say it may be one of the
few android tablets that will withstand the test of time. The products

Electronic devices are becoming more expensive than house
whole appliances. If you went out and invested into a device so expensive then
it’s logical to spend a little extra to protect your investment. This week I’ll
share with you the does and don’ts of cleaning a LCD or LED screen whether it’s
on a phone, tablet, TV, UHD TV, or laptop.
Cleaning Your Expensive Stuffs 101
First off, What Not
To Do
- Don’t use ethyl alcohol, acetone, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride these chemicals will damage your display. So, don’t wonder anymore why your touch screen stopped working on your phone.
- Always use a clean cloth, because tiny hard particles can get trapped in cloth fibers and leave scratches after use.
- DO NOT use Windex or other glass cleaners! These generally contain ammonia and will spoil your LCD screen
- Do not use paper towels. They leave behind tiny bits of paper that will mess up your display.
- Avoid using pipe water when cleaning your LCD or LED screen; they usually have minerals that can damage the screen.
So What Can You
Use To Clean Your Expensive Stuff?
Well folks you have two options if you’re planning to clean
your device properly. There is the simply way or the hard somewhat technical
way. Although, my friends call it cheap, poor man way and the normal way.
Option” A”
The Hard Somewhat Technical
Way
You can make your own clean solutions with these steps. Just
buy distilled water then mix it with a specific cleaning agent. The two most
popular cleaning agents for homemade solutions are isopropyl alcohol and white
vinegar. The choice comes down to personal preference, as both are effective at
removing strong grunge. Avoid mixing the two though; just choose one stick with
it. When using isopropyl alcohol, don’t use more than a 50/50 mix with
distilled water. If you’re using vinegar, start with a 50/50 mix and add more
vinegar if the solution isn’t strong enough. Vodka can work as a replacement
for isopropyl alcohol. Plain Vodka folks, not the flavored ones you all been drinking.
Then use it with a non-abrasive cloth
like a Microfiber Cloth, a Cotton T-shirt, or a Cotton handkerchief.
Option “B”
The Simply Way
Go out and buy a good LCD/LED screen cleaner if you are not
a chemist and can’t handle option “A”. I emphases the word good, because they
are some out there that is worst than throwing gasoline on your screen. If had
to recommend one right now, I would go with WHOOSH! which cost around $1,000 for the small package or you can
go large if you have the money. Yes, I said it right. The name is WHOOSH! and it comes with a cleaning
cloth and solution. It worked wonders for my laptop and it helps resist
fingerprint smudges on smart phones too.
Final Thoughts
I clean my devices weekly, because dirty screens are just
gross, and the phone screen is going in your face daily! The products mentioned
