    I think tablets are better because they have a longer battery life and are easier to carry around. And they have awesome games that desktops or laptops have. I just wished they had the same space to put more stuff in them like music, movies, and apps. This would be the main reason I would buy a tablet on my next purchase

    Really depends on the industry, and what they offer. If someone makes a decently priced tablet, in a screen size bigger than 10", I might be tempted to go in that direction. 10" screens are just too small for my taste (and my eyesight!).that's why I got rid of my 10" netbook, and upgraded to an 11.6" screen netbook. Really doesn't sound that much bigger, but that extra "real estate" makes a big difference.

    Otherwise, I'll likely be looking at a 12-14 inch notebook computer. I don't buy desktops, I build them, but have one that's

    Laptop with a good video card for playing WOW at the grandparents house when I'm exiled for being bad.

    I have a customized PC for my World of Warcraft fix. I have an Alienware laptop on the go. I love my Iconia tablet because I'm able to plug in my USB thumbdrive or hard drive and it will read; however, it's not slick, slim, and cool so I brought the Asus Transformer tablet. But that Asus Transformer lacks USB plug like Iconia so I got a keyboard which comes with NIC and USB; however, if I connect the keyboard to my tablet, it will look like I'm using a mini notebook like my Dell Mini. I have a Kindle which I like for it's long battery life, however, it still lacks everything I mentioned above.

    What's my next purchase? I would like a tablet without the letter "I" in it's name with a battery life long like my Kindle fire, slim and sleek like an Asus Transformer, powerful like my Alienware for gaming, be able to plug in any USB to access data, and it comes in fusia color. Razz. Else I think I will revert back to the 80s IBM PC with the bulky monitor with dial up 28K modem with 5 1/4 floppies to test my patience surfing the web and be happy with what I have.
