tablet but not Ipad
Discussion
work based? what kinda thing?
You probably want a chromebook, not a tablet, something convertible and touchscreen.

Sorry I should have been clearer. I use 365 on my laptop but want something bigger than a phone with a clip on keyboard that I can use when out and about and tether to my phone or Wi-Fi..
The tablet versions of Office are a bit 'limited', so I'd go for a Surface Go (basic + cheaper) or Surface Pro (faster + more expensive) which will run a the full version of Office.You'll have to budget in a keyboard cover for either though.
I think you've probably missed the boat on the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals - as I was tempted by a quad core i5 256gb Surface Pro 7 for £720. Looks like they're £900+ now. Only the slower dual core i3 version is available at around £700, or the older Pro 6.

The 8gb ram surface go runs Windows 10 and office perfectly well. I use mine as a note book for hand written notes with Onenote and for all office apps etc when travelling. I use s surface pro as a laptop but it’s too big to be used as s tablet properly. You'll have to budget in a keyboard cover for either though.

Asus chromebook flip,C101 or C302. Both are touchscreen with a fold away keyboard.
Will those run the full version of Office 365 though?I thought they could only run the mobile versions - as do Android and iOS tablets (yes, I have Office on an iPad Pro - and for anything other than the tiniest change, or to simply view something with dodgy formatting, it's next to useless).

surface go bought and on test. so far its a good piece of kit but apps are limited!
Is that because it's running Windows 10 'S-mode'?If so, you can switch to Windows 10 proper to allow apps from anywhere.
