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

There must be a cheap tablet without a camera!
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

How about that? I've no experience of the Nook so maybe someone else can chime in.

While you look, will this keep you going?

Only 9", but is something better than nothing?

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.
