My Laptop at work needs to be replaced. I've just got a new desktop but I told them to leave the laptop for now until I decide what to do.
I am considering replacing this with a Tablet.
I've never looked at them before so thought i'd gather some info here for starters. If anyone knows of any good ones to look at that would be helpful.
Required use:
I need it to have Windows 7 and Office 2010. I work in a Lab in the R&D building but there are 6 buildings on-site and I access and work in them all at various points. So what i'm after is a device that can quickly and easily access my information stored on the network drive. I then want to be able to easily edit and update this information when required without having to keep coming back to my Lab.
I've never looked at or used Tablets before so not sure how good they are for this purpose? Are they up to that standard yet? I need it to have a fairly fast processor...but I also know the company won't spent say £1000+ on it for me. The Laptops they buy in are £750 (before OS and Office).
