We want to buy a tablet before we go away next week! Which one should we get? What will we find it useful for especially while we are away? Or should we not bother at all?

My iPad is a mini. Excellent for going in handbag on holiday for information, and nice to take photos on it too. Don't need to sit in front of PC to look at them.

It's good for checking out eating places on Trip advisor.

Im another iPad mini fan.My old ipad seems way too heavy now. I prefer reclining too as I use it. I've dropped it many times too with no obvious harm. blush

I love my tablet. Only regret is that I didn't buy a better one. Mine is a little on the slow side compared to my kindle HD. However, i prefer the 10" screen on my tablet. I charge it every night as I use it such a lot. I also have a cable ( 5 pounds on ebay,)which connects to my TV set and can watch things on the large screen. I play soduko, word search, patience, crosswords etc as well as posting on GN. I also email, take photos........ is there anything this tablet can't do?
