What's a good tablet?
 

Looking for a good tablet for basic work stuff.

Spreadsheets, email, wifi, remote desktop, etc.


Just saw a commercial for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 which looks pretty slick. Surely doesn't need to be a power house either as it's only going to be used occasionally and for basic tasks.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. :thumbsup

If you just want to do those basic things go on ebay and get a factory refurbed motorola xoom for $200. After you turn it on it will update to ice cream sandwich.

I was just reading about ZaReasons open tablet. Sounds good.

Not big on refurbs, but I'll take a look. I'm digging ICS on my Evo3d.

I'll look more into this after the game. Thanks!


Btw, no ipad. Overpriced hipster shit.

I wonder how many post till someone mentions crapple :)

I have the Samsung 10.1 but not the newer note and I love mine and use if for remote access all the time to servers.

Im very happy with my galaxy tab 10.1

the google tablet is great!

We've got a couple of HP Touchpads running Android 4. You can find these on Craigslist for under $200.

Same with the Nook Tablet and Nook Color (these my 3 and 4 year old make use of). We've also got the new Nexus 7, which is quite nice. Definitely worth the $200 or so price tag on all three.

samsung note is great

i use mine for that sort of stuff and it is awesome lace

not bad

(yes i know, what a stupid answer but i can't afford another tablet)

You'd have to go through four refurbs before paying the same as new. For what you're doing you don't need the newest thing on the market and would be blowing money.

wait a month or so and get the Microsoft Surface :thumbsup

the new galaxy note tablet looks good

Played with those a little, IMHO tablets are useless for work.

Any cheap netbook can be more useful when you actually need to do something about the work.

16!

Love my iPad3 !

+1
with iWork and teamviewer apps it does more than I expected it to

MDMA... :thumbsup

:2 cents:

Crapple just invented new market for their profits and people think its useful because its by crapple. And now when market is invented other companies follow the trend.
Definitely netbook over a tables for that kind of work.

BS

Its good if you don't expect it to be a laptop or netbook :2 cents:

Why would you hate Apple?

iPad easily replaces laptop for people who don't do much on computer, and you can take it pretty much anywhere. Take a look at sales numbers, looks like many find it useful :)

And calling it "crapple" while doing work on computer is not smart. Show some respect to people who played a big role in making that possible.

:2 cents: +1 :pimp

If you'd like a little more portability, the smaller 7 inch tablets are more convenient, though you do give up some of that screen real estate.

If you plan on doing anything more than surfing the web or playing games, get the Microsoft Surface, nothing else compares to it.

I like these. :thumbsup

The wife and I love our Acer Iconia A500 tabs.

Exactly, what crockmint said, its way inferior to netbooks and people think that they need them just because its "invented" by apple.

If you are planning on actually working on a tablet then go for IPad. If you are just going to watch Netflix or check stats then Nexus 7.

I have Ipad3, Samsung 10.1 and the Nexus 7 and this is pretty much how it ended up. In general tho I would say you shouldn't expect to be able to do anything complicated easily on any tablet.

I have an iPad and it pretty much sucks for output i.e. spreadsheets or writing. I love it for input i.e. looking at portfolios or video chat. I need keys which travel though, so your results may vary.

I'm still having a hard time getting used to teamviewer with a touch interface ...

But I have to agree 100% .... once you have used an iPad, no other tablet quite measures up ...

If you have never used an iPad for any length of time, pretty much any tablet capable of running android 4.0 should be fine! :thumbsup
