which tablet?

I have a bulky Dell lap top, that works great on the desk but way to big to haul in the RV. Just gets in the way. I have a Kindle Fire and does not operate the way I need. I've had Ipad, which I liked but it won't blend with my android phone. Looking very strong at a Samsung tablet 10.1. I only want Wifi, and really will not need over 16 gigs. I look on Amazon and just get confused at the different models. Local Radio Shack has one for 599.00 with 100.00 off if you sign up with Verizon for 2 yr. contract, which would cose me another 18.00 per month counting taxes. Way more then what I want to spend. Anyway do all sugest any certain model that will fill my needs. Thanks

    In the last 8 months, I've COMPLETELY switched over to Apple/Mac and the iCloud. Now have a MacBook Air, an iPad Mini, and an iPhone5. Couldn't be happier with them. Dumped the Dell laptop, and the Android phone.... I'll never have to deal with Dell's off-shore excuse for a "customer service center" again!!!!

    I'm with you 100% FI. Lot's of people bash APPLE because they maintain tight control over their software and OS. But I'm not one who wants to do battle with my technology. APPLE products simply work. We have 2 iPhones, 2 iPAD's and a MAC-BOOK Pro. EVERYTHING syncs, backs-up and updates with no need for me to be doing battle with the devices. I pick it up, turn it on and use it. Yeah, we paid a premium for that luxury, but to me it's worth it.

    BTW... My Mac-Book Pro is from 2008 and runs as good as new, even with all of the updates and enhancements to OS-X over those 5 years. A Windows PC would have reached it's end of life by now.......

    Gas versus diesel, Chevy versus Ford, Apple versus ???????. It always comes down to that in these forums. Apple probably makes some okay products, but I perceive them as being too "proprietary" for me. I like the open market approach better.

    I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. It has a fairly current version of Android, and more apps available than I ever imagined. Works great. I see them for sale at $179 which is a lot of tablet for the money.

    Thanks for the input. I ordered a Samsung 10.1 from Amazon. I agree any of those tablets mentioned will probably work great. Anyway I appreciate RV Net as I can get a lot of help. Hope I can return the favor someday.
