tablets, not pills.

my day to day pc is dying; very slow graphics update, and regular black screen followed by 'system recovered from kernel error' messages.
so i'm thinking of a tablet, and wondered if any of you folks had android ones, and which model?
:whistle:

Tablets are for casual browsing not for the tricky stuff.

If its a PC with said symptoms could be a range of things. Make sure you untick the restart on crash option then you can take a notice of the error code.

Graphics cards are about £10 for a cheapo. I'd say get a cheap laptop instead tablets are sound for browsing but anything else like photos, running proper programs and so on a no-no..

Well saying that.. My tablet is a HP touchpad that boots into, HP WebOS, Ubuntu and Android. Why? Just because I can. Means I have a portable good bit of kit for all occasions.

the poorly pc has onboard graphics, and is fanless with SSD drive, i think it's too poorly.
i have another pc for dreamweaver, photoshop, etc.

how hard is it to pop ubuntu on to a tablet?

Not that hard if you buy the right one. Its fast.

Get a Nexus one it works spot on.

I mostly use android, sometimes ubuntu for testing webservers offline.

Get a good sized one too. Mines a 10incher oooherrrr

hmm i'd thought of the nexus, having had asus laptops before.
i borrowed a galaxy 3 7", and that was quite good despite the small screen :yesnod:

depending on size, the nexus 7 is regarded as the best android tablet available and for less than £200
if you want a 10" then the galaxy note or tab 3 are good options but then theyre £400+

Nexus 7 for deffo 100% raw google made Works with everything.

i just picked up a Tab 2 for the gf for £75.
shes well chuffed with it - and so am I for that price
