Buying Tablet instead of Laptop?

[Old Man]

The majority of the time the tablet willl be used for surfing the net, writing emails and basic office work, including Ebay sales/purchases and would be hooked up to the wireless hub.

Now, just wondering if it's worth it or not, since I have never used a Tablet???

for ofice work id still say a small laptop would be better. even with a bluetooth/docking keyboard and some office clone, typing on a tablet is rather clunky, or i guess you could get an rt device which is a tablet that comes with microsoft office, but woulsnt go android tab unless you want to play android games/not doing office work.
