This is a variation on a previously asked question - Trying to decide between a Tablet (probably an LE 1700) and a Laptop, not having either before. Anyone have experience with tablets and how they compare with laptops? If money was not a consideration (because another party will pay for this) what are the pros and cons of the two? Would a tablet allow me to get rid of desk top (and thereby save space by letting me dispense with computer stand) in the same way a laptop would? Would I miss having the CD/DVD drives or are these really that necessary anymore, with flash drives, downloading directly off internet? Think I can get a separate portable drive for the tablet. Any questions or specific factors I should consider in deciding between the two? One drawback of tablet I'm aware of (at least the one I looked at) - doesn't seem like you can use it with keyboard if you want to type while reclining (not at a desk), which would be nice, as have back, neck problems that make sitting up for long periods uncomfortable. BTW, the laptop will probably have to be a Dell and definitely a PC (not my decision, the party that is paying).
