Off topic....but looking for tablet suggestions.

[Lucinda]

My sister has a 10.1 inch quadcore Acer tablet that I really liked. Fast and streams movies and video really well.
I was also just reminded that I did enjoy using my friends ipad a few years ago.

I prefer a 9 inch or up screen, and enough power to play movies without hiccups. An extra storage slot option would also be good. If I buy a more expensive brand, I'll look into factory refurnished, so all price points are welcomed, as long as it has a good screen and decent battery life...

Anyone have any recommendations for me?

1. Either today or sometime this week I'm going to get myself....

a Microsoft Surface 2

I'm old and not tech savvy so I like Microsoft Windows.

It's the Computer Help and Support Group.


They are more tech savvy and can probably steer you in the right direction.

8. Thanks for responding! I'm looking more for actual users who love or hate their tablets

so I posted here. We have lots of DU lurkers and I figured my question would be more visible in here. AND GD is always such a bloodbath lately that I didn't want to post there.

3. I love my iPad.

It's super easy, stable and does pretty much everything I want it to.

I don't DU on it because I really need a real keyboard, but I use it for lots of other things, including downloading cookbooks.

6. I have a Zagg keyboard for mine.

Check these guys out;

Not real expensive.

There are others too, including more standard sized ones. They are all Bluetooth capable for iPad (they have to be).

7. My husband uses one for his tablet, but I don't want one.

I really like my MacBook Pro and use it for anything that involves typing (like DU).

The IPad I use for reading and for any applications that use swiping (or whatever you want to call it).

And I'm rarely actually sitting in front of a surface where I could put something.

4. I still use my Easy Bake Oven. nt

5. My wife absolutely loves her iPad. She's on it all the time.

Say what you want about Apple products, they may be expensive but they're super easy to use and they never get viruses.

9. ASUS Nexus family

I have a Nexus 7, but I sort of wanted that size, because I use it for navigation and Contact storage a lot. It also is a dandy e-reader, and a good internet reader. They have a 10 inch version for those of you that want the larger size.
