Tablet

[hbridge]

My Kindle Fire is NO LONGER working for me. I definitely need to upgrade.

My only computer is a desktop so I'm looking for a tablet with a keyboard and stand OR a small laptop that can double as a tablet.

DH is the tech person in the family so I'm deferring to him somewhat, but he is also not a fan of the IPAD. The ONLY reason I would go IPAD is because of the availability of apps for me and the kids. However, I assume there are similar apps for window devices.

Please recommend your tablet type device. It must be less than $700 (with keyboard).

Thanks so much.

I'm not a computer person but my brother who is a total geek and makes his living in the industry is wild about the MS Surface, like like a tablet and a laptop in one.

The new Microsoft tablet looks pretty cool. iPads will probably have greater longevity because of the support and iOS updates.

How about the nexus 10?

No, you don't want a Windows tablet for its app selection right now.

You prolly want to wait period for a Windows tablet.

Android apps have greatly increased. If you're DH doesn't want an iPad, then get an Android tablet (like the Samsungs or a Google Nexus).

But why doesn't he want an iPad?

I have an Asus Transformer. I needed an attachable keyboard too & I have a love hate relationship to be honest (I hate that line!). I was asking the same question here a year ago.

They talked me into it at best buy when I went in for the iPad..at the time iPad keyboards weren't so useable for work & I needed this for work & recreation. I needed the Polaris office that came loaded on it too and I theory makes a little laptop with a to h screen. If only it were perfect! Oh and it has 2 USB ports AND removeable memory.

I don't like the android market tho!!! My first keyboard broke on day one-new one has hiccups. Tablet crashes a lot BUT it has flash and DD's reading egg program for kindy requires it to play-guess that's a bright spot!

It was at or a little under (w/ california tax but the ins plan put it over) for the tablet & keyboard. They have an Asus Prime now but I don't know if it is better. I may find out bc mine is crashing more and more!

I wish I had gotten the iPad - pros and cons of each!
