Time for a tablet.

[crankedup]

My old tower P.C. is now coming to the end of its life and I am thinking about buying a Tablet in its place. PC knowledge or anything techy is definitely not my thing of understanding, therefore I would appreciate some advise on which Tablet makes a sensible purchase together with a shiny new printer. Budget around 400 quid sound reasonable?
Thank you for advise and comments.

Thank you for all your replies, the use I will put the tablet to is generally surfing, home office stuff like letters, flyer production, storage of images and such like. We use B.T. wireless if that makes any difference. Thanks again.

I suggest you try a tablet first, try and compose a word doc or similar, try inserting a picture etc. I found it a right faff, way too much of a faff to move me away from my desktop or laptop. Yes, they are great for surfing the net and running apps, okay for basic emailing, but they will never replace a proper computer, with a keyboard and mouse, for word/excel and the like.

Maybe a laptop would be a better option for you?

Once again thanks for all tips/advise, its all well useful. I will be popping into PCworld later for a look around and try out. You may well be right on the laptop suggestion. TBH the last thing I want is to have to go through a new tech learning process, some oldies like me struggle with tech! Basically I just need to be able to continue as my current use. Emails, surf,send/receive images,letter and document writing, on-line bank and such like.
I would much prefer to continue use of microsoft applications as that is what I have used for a while now.
