Bullseye! The new Nextbook 10.1 scores

I received product to demo and facilitate this review. All opinions are strictly my own.

77059When I travel (and I travel a LOT), I have my needs

  • All of my clothes must mix & match so that I can pack less and get MORE from them.
  • Two pair of shoes is all I need. One for dress and one for comfort. By bringing a pair of gold sandals that will go from jeans to a gown (or even a bathing suit) for dress and my Ahnu’s for walking around all day (they look cute with a skirt or shorts), I cut down on what I pack – one pair on my feet and one pair packed.
  • My handbag has to double as a camera bag, shopping bag, or just something to carry my wallet and lipstick. I use a cross-body style pack (my City Tote) for that.

Do you see a pattern?

Now you know how I can get away with ONE carry-on bag for a week’s worth of travel. Everything that I pack has a DOUBLE DUTY.

When it comes to my electronics, I often feel like I’m overloaded. There’s my phone, my camera, my laptop, and my tablet. I’ve traveled without my camera, using only my phone for photos, but I like to be able to take notes on a tablet as I venture out to explore a destination yet have a keyboard for sitting down to write my post when I get back to the hotel room.

Enter the Nextbook 10.1

Nextbook 10

This is a 2-in-1 computer/tablet with a detachable keyboard. I can grab the tablet portion when I’m out and about and still sit down and type out my article back in the room. It is a money saving machine (I’d rather spend my money on travel than gear) at only $219.99 – at Target.

A Double (or triple) duty machine
