| OH has wanted a iPad for a while - i've never seen the fascination tbh anyhoo with our Laptop being on its last legs (well I say last legs its only the wireless think thats fecked up and needs a new battery, I have to keep it plugged into the mains when I use it) I was having a looksy.. ..I've fallen in love with this (and appears OH has too ) http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-duo/pd?ST=dell%20tablet&dgc=ST&cid=41141&lid=1069630&acd=1240011649820561 OH said we can get it but now its got me thinking as its such a lot of money to spend and would probably use my laptop more. So OH is now saying 'well we'll get anouther laptop' I don't know what to doooooo Laptop, desktop or tablet????? Whats everyone else got?? |

| Oooooh I love that thingy^^^ if I was in the market for something new - I would get that! I have a desk top and a laptop and tbh they both have their uses. OH prefers the desktop but I use the lappy more coz it's convienient and I'm lazy . I wouldn't have a tablet alone without a lappy or desktop as back up because I get frustrated by touch screen typing. I love my iPhone but don't think I would get an iPad. xx |

xx Thats how I feel..the touch screen would get on my nerves if I was typing a lot on it. Argh - don't know what to do! OH keeps peering over my shoulder asking if i've decided yet cos he's off to order it in half an hour |

| I love the ipad! Honestly didn't think I would use as it much as I do, but you can do pretty much everything on it as you do a laptop, only it's smaller and easier to cart around. Plus..I have downloaded games, movies, and music to entertain the kids when we go on road trips. We all love monopoly, angry birds, the game of life, and a few others. The battery last a good long while too. xxx |

| I LOVE my desktop, but thats cos I use it for alot of stuff that needs a desktop and 2 screens, and its in the office.
If I was just facebooking, reading, foruming etc then i'd just use the laptop as its much more convenient to use anywhere - the poor sod never gets turned on more than once in a blue moon! Thats a Dell and I have had it around 7 years, all its ever needed was a new hard drive when one currupted about 5 years ago, and I put extra ram in it - other than that its a fab laptop. |

| I looked into that Dell too Zee but I think they make it looks like it's really cool when it just doesn't seem to be that special (this was me convincing myself I didn't need it) haha |

| I got this laptop today for £379 and Im in love.... havent turned it on yet though hehe! http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-L655D-13Q/1095784/toshibaShop/false/ Could have got a packard bell with slightly more memory and photo shop for same price, but as I just use it for here, fb & ebay... and i loved the pink I just got it based on what it looked like! Thinking I may regret not getting photoshop but the packard bell was quite ugly looking... im not the best person to ask for advice lol! |
