Laptop/tablet without camera , is there such a thing ?

[Dodsy]

I need some help , my Son needs something to watch movies on that is portable, battery operated and cannot have a camera. I have looked at all sorts of tablets, pads laptops and ultrabook type gadgets but they all have a camera. Only needs a 10-11" screen (no smaller than 10" but can be bigger) and be reasonably light. I'd really like a tablet but happy to settle for anything that can play MP4/X264/AVI files.

The big issue here is that everything I have looked at seems to have a camera. Maybe I havent looked at far enough down into the cheapy cheapy ones ?

I need to buy this tomorrow for delivery monday!

Any suggestions appreciated. Price is not an issue.

Without going into detail he has a disability meaning he is in a special unit and no cameras are allowed even if disabled.

Im going to ask if its ok if i drill out the camera on a tablet but i think it will still be no.

I think that maybe the earlier poster was on the right track, an old refurbed laptop on ebay may be the best answer

So as a matter of interest, are all visitors and staff prohibited from taking their phones into the unit?

Dont know yet its all new to me, I suspect its ok for visitors but not for residents which does make sense.

Great suggestions from people about the Nook, I think that is the perfect answer.
