Looking for something that will let me use Wi-Fi, download and read books, do mail checking and social media. I need a key board (I think) Large fingers and problems such as spelling mistakes, etc.?
My tech devices include an Android smartphone, Android tablet, laptop and desktop PC. My wife has an iPad.
I need a laptop or desktop because I have apps that are not available on a tablet and because I find entering text via a touch screen very unproductive. My grandchildren seem to be proficient, although they are not as OCD on how the text ends up.
So, I seldom use my tablet. I had a netbook along with the tablet, but found it a little small (10" display) for my tastes so moved up to a Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop that is very thin but a little pricey.
So basically, I find a smartphone (with all the advantages of a tablet) and a laptop/desktop PC meets my needs.
Oh, and I have a Kindle that I seldom use since all these devices allow reading books and they are synced such that you can stop reading on one device and pick it up on any other.
My bottom line is that a tablet is redundant in meeting my my tech needs.
