Hello.

How do all on this dreadful november evening?

Moving into my new house on 19th, and was wondering about getting an ipad instead of a laptop? Pig sick of Windows machines needing constant babysitting and breaking.go, so was thinking oct indulging in apples lovely tablet :-)

Any thoughts??

Given your penchant for Android Westy, wouldn`t you be better looking at a Samsung, Sony or Motorola tablet?

Android is great on a mobile, but doesn`t do it for me in Tablet form. Used an ipad before and they are absolutely amazing!

However I need to convince myself that I can do without a laptop :-)

Depends what you want to use that device for mate.
If it`s just a bit of web surfing, writing the odd email etc. then it`s perfect.

I`m assuming you`d still have a desktop PC of some sort to go along with it?
If so, then I`d say go for it. If not, then I`d be steering towards the laptop.

And that`s a recent (3+) version?  I think, with my limited use of it until now, it`s great - with so much freedom/customisation.

I think you need to ask yourself how much typing you`ll be doing. Touchpads are awful for that I find. :/
