    Default "To Travel With My Laptop, Or Not?" THAT is the question.

    I'm going to check out a place for rent. ( Well, it's actually in a house that a friend of mine lives in also).
    She's kicking her roommate out, but he's still there.
    There's no lock on the room next to his where I'll be staying.
    I need to make sure that the internet works, etc. My computer has a password to log in, but...idk.
    I'm going to be gone from the house most of the time that I'm there, cause,..yeah, I have a life.
    Taking my laptop with me when I go out is not an option, because it's 100 degrees out, and I can't leave it in my car.
    Question: Can I just bring my tablet to see how the internet connection is?
    Thanks in advance.

    yes you can run a speed test with you tablet

    i just did it with my phone and got about the same but it tested to DC

    I usually test mine from nc to seattle for sm but usually on pc

    It might give you more option on tablet to choose where you want to ping to

    Yea, I'd think you could as well w/the tablet, & good luck Glammie!
    If you stay there, I'd see about getting some kind of lock put on the door..if they don't wanna install one, I've seen these locks, they look like giant padlocks, (that they use when storefronts close/go out of biz) they are meant for locking a door from the outside.

    You can run a speed test on an IPhone too.
    The app I use is called SpeedTest.net

    Thanks everyone for the response.
    That's a relief to just bring my tablet.
    @Whirl, a lock will be put on my door for sure if I decide to move there. This is my 3rd experience with roommates.
    My friend doesn't know I cam, but knows I work online. Plus she's very sick, so she's home most of the time.
    Luckily her room is on the other side of the house.

    Fingers Crossed for ya, Babe! 1 more thing: if you ever had to take your lappie somewhere, a backpack's good..took mine that way when I visited Sexxcon. I have an insulated one, it's meant for cooling, but it cushions. Just sayin'.
