Worth getting?
My laptop is huge and heavy, I can’t carry it around in the lab. So, I’m looking to buy either a notebook or a tablet or just a smartphone.
Smartphone: HTC Sensation XL or Samsung Galaxy S2 (I’ve heard they’re far superior than the Apple iphones).
Notebook: Don’t have a clue which one I should get.
Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or Apple Ipad2 but I’m going to have to get a keyboard dock with these but is it worth it? Might as well buy a proper notebook then?
Re: Tablets and Ipads
Depends on what you need your tablet for. If its for small computing, some browsing, searching, email and all then go with the tablet and have a keybpard.
If you download/save//burn/transfer contents off DVD and flash then tablets are not for you.

*netbook
laptop=notebook
Re: Tablets and Ipads
No, I won’t be doing any of that, TLK bhai. I’ll use it mostly for college work so I’ll be downloading journal papers, reading them on the tablet, browsing the net, youtube etc.
Nomi, aho woi. 
Re: Tablets and Ipads
I would say go for either a tablet with keyboard or netbook - these are smaller and easier to carry around. Smart phones are too tiny to work off of for long periods of time. Now, since you have a working laptop already might as well get a tablet that you can easily carry but you will still have a laptop at home to do things you cant on a tablet. Goodluck with the decision.
Re: Tablets and Ipads
get a netbook if you want it for working…
if only for viewing stuff and casual things…then tablet.
Re: Tablets and Ipads
All these tech stuff confuse me 2 
I find it hard to decide which 1 to buy and which 1 to let go of. I have had samsung tablet for more than a yr now and today since i was bored i paid some attention to it and found out that i dnt need to buy a kindle cuz i can access books on it too 
. And my bro suggested i get bb’s playbook but now i m thinking i dnt even need that cuz the samsung tablet n bb’s playbook pretty much have same features, no?! 
i like the ipad though but its really expensive and i dnt want to spend that much money on it rite now!
Re: Tablets and Ipads
Yep, BB playbook and Samsung Galaxy tablets are both tablets - the difference is the OS i suppose. Comes down to which brand you like better. I don’t think there are any major differences in terms of features. I could be wrong though - I haven’t looked into them.
Re: Tablets and Ipads
yah im sure there must be some difference bt for somebody like me who is not too much into such tech stuff or the details, i dnt think it shud matter! but then yah when i look at an ipad it does matter but then it has alot of features which others lack!
Re: Tablets and Ipads
One thing that netbooks/laptops cant beat tablets on: INSTANT BOOTUP.
Netbooks take upto a full minute or more to bring up the workable screen. More programs starting in the background, more you wait. With tablets, itys instant on. That is one ting that I am so addicted to is that I dont feel like login on to my computers unless I really really have to.
Re: Tablets and Ipads
galaxy is android, playbook is BB’s own OS. I would say that go with galaxy if these 2 are only choices
