Well I have several desktops and several old laptops.
I don't really need another "proper computer"
But I'd like a tablet for doing some light work when I'm not at my desk.
My dad got a tablet for like £60 it's very light, and works fine for him, I might get something similarly cheap.

Was it one of those generic asian android tablets? What are they like? I like the look of them, but am dubious.
That's the thing with a tablet, they fill a niche that a laptop and desktop can't do. I can use one easily on the tube or toilet, with it's instant boot-up, it means you can use it standing up or quickly switch it on if you want almost instant access to specific data.

It's proper scifi stuff, these tablets, I remember when Samsaug demonstrated against Apple's patents to say the idea has been around for ages such as in 2001: Space Oddisy, they're also featured quite hevely in Star Trek.

I haven't had a good play with it yet, but he seems to like it.
To be honest I was amazed at the weight of the thing mostly, it's like holding nothing.

I'll find out what it is from my dad and let you know if you like.
