My family have persuaded me to get a tablet rather than tow our bulky laptop around in the motorhome when we go away. I have looked at the Amazon Fire which is quite cheap but seems very limited in what it can do and I cannot afford an iPad.
I was thinking of perhaps getting a Windows tablet and would welcome any advice or opinions on Android versus Windows as well as possibles to buy.

Not convinced about a tablet for doing work. But great for playing with. This is being posted on an iPad. But I bought my Wife an 8'" Kindle fire HD. Got say I am impressed with it. Is it as good as an iPad no but is it good enough to watch Tv or surf or email or God forbid read a book on it then yes I think it is.

I have a home PC, a Laptop and a Tablet. I always take the tablet ( HTC running Android ) when going away in the van. The Laptop is much more comprehensive and faster but the Tablet is more convenient.
They all have their strengths and drawbacks, but for holiday use I much prefer the Tablet.

My tablet is not a substitute for my laptop. I use it when we are away and for a quick catch up when sitting on the settee in the evenings (like now
) but I still use my laptop for day to day stuff espdcially when I need to print.
Same here, the tablet is fine for taking away with us on flights its a godsend. I have music, books, and even a few tv programs that I have downloaded, I have a few word games that I can play with and its okay for emails etc. I have a Samsung 7" I wouldn't be without my laptop though as i can type much faster and use it for many more tasks than the tablet, each has its uses.

Wouldn't be with my I-pad , nothing else comes close
P.S , is this in the right section , I thought this section was about TV, Film and Music ???
...This category is 'Entertainment' and it seemed the most appropriate place to post for advice on a tablet..
