One of the minuses of tablets as far as I'm concerned is the price. This is £100 more than a notebook and I wonder what it actually offers to justify that. Anyone?


My Huawei Ideos S7 costs me 0 (zero), thus, the price is fairly justified, and no net-/notebook can beat it But a tablet is nothing more than a nice toy. If you need a work tool, do not consider tablets. An on-screen keyboard is OK when you type in a forum posting, but doing a translation job can drive you mad (well, maybe I’m just too hot-tempered…).
