I currently have an ageing and unreliable Dell laptop and a Hudl1 tablet.
I need to buy something to replace the laptop.
My needs are: Excel, Word, downloading photos from a camera SD, linking to a free standing hard drive, web browsing.... and that's about it.
Everybody but everybody keeps nudging me to an iPad but I'm unsure if I would be able to manage and update all the MS and assorted files I already have.
I know tablets in the Samsung range would be OK, as would another MS based laptop.
Some time ago I had a Samsung N130 notebook which was very good and I'm tempted to get another.
I think it's the keyboards that drag me back (grew up with a typewriter) from the iPad route.
Any thoughts or suggestions very welcome.
