Which tablet do you own?

[MinnieInOz]

iPad, love it.

First gen iPad here and still going strong. I'll be interested what Office looks like for iPad.

4 iPads!

I have 2 blackberry playbooks love them... Also have a couple asus android tablets and the younger kids have some cheap RCA android tablets. Had an iPad but HATED that thing.

Another PlayBook owner (and user) here! Although it is now outdated, it does what I need. Web (FB, Twitter, Browsing), Office, e-mail, music, movies, games & reader. Got an iPad Air for Christmas and still use the BlackBerry more! However, I wouldn't recommend the BB (even if you could still find one) because it is over 3 years old.

It really boils down to what you will use it for and if you are tied into any ecosystem (Android, Apple, MS, BB) with your phone. Good Luck with your decision.

Wow! All of your opinions & suggestions are really helping!

My wife & I both have Samsung Galaxy s3 phones. With regards to sharing pictures, music, messages, etc with the new tablet... do you think it would be any easier if we bought one with the Android system?

I also have an android phone and for that reason I chose Samsung Note 10.1.

My problem with Apple is that you can't add any memory to them. I can expand my Note from 16 to 48 GB for less than $20 (the price of a 32 GB sd card, I find them at great prices!). Plus we can add other peripherals to it. And I don't have to deal with iTunes. Never have, never will.

Did you get the BB OS update for your playbook? It is quite a good update plus it is great for office docs and business e mail etc the only other tablet close for business use if the MS Surface devices. I love my Playbook and would never give it up.

I HATE HATE HATE the closed system crapple employs for all their devices it is just terrible and iOS and their devices are so uninspiring.

iPad Mini... it is pretty cool

I'm a Samsung fan so I'd vote for the Note. It's my next step, I have the Samsung Galaxy phone and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Love them both~

My mom has a Note 2 and just upgraded to 4.4 Kit Kat and is having issues with the new OS have you run into any issues since the update?

iPad 2

 

[BlovesC]

Microsoft Surface: I love it. Bought it for grad school and it's incredibly useful and so easy to carry around.

Kindle Fire: ehhh...I already owned a Kindle 3G so this was a bit of a wasteful purchase. I only use it for reading, it's not very efficient at anything else.

Thank you all so much for your opinions!! We've decided to go with the Samsung Note 10.1 (2014). Really looking forward to it!!

Thanks again... and have a great day!!!

We each have an iPad2 16GB here (so four), all bought refurbished from Apple without any problems whatsoever.

Three of us use ours withh Logitech Bluetooth fabricskin wireless keyboards which are very thin and light and fold back into a regular cover, also. My teens use theirs exclusively for high school. I never use my laptop anymore - it's broken anyway.

None of us have run out of space, either.

Mine is a 16gb, too. My phone is a 16gb and at almost 2 years old is only half full. 16gb is plenty for me.

I didn't want to follow the crowd and just get an ipad, so I got the samsung galaxy.

After owning that tablet for 13 months, I finally returned it due to it's lack of amazing abilities and connection issues. (yes, amazon took it back with a very small restock fee).

I gave in and got the ipad.

WOW.

There is just no comparison. I even showed my 83-year old Daddy how to use it.

It's so user friendly. Again, no comparison at all. I bought a mini for all the kids. I still can't believe how easy it is to use and how much FUN it is!

We have iPads and one Nexus 7.

For those of you that no longer use a laptop of PC in favor of a tablet, are you doing personal banking and everything on the tablet?

Is that where you store all of your digital photographs and personal business?

I am looking to replace my PC and considering getting a laptop or possibly a desktop PC and a tablet. I like the idea of having a portable device to goof off on the internet with but I cannot see giving up a full keyboard and big monitor when I am working from home or doing a big project for personal use.

I haven't had a desktop PC in years. The only reason I use my laptop anymore is for our personal finances on Quicken. It would be perfect if I can get Quicken loaded on a tablet!!

All of my banking is done on our PC, and that is where all our photos are stored. I won't ever give up on having a PC.
