I think I may have asked this question before, but it was some time ago so I expect the advice may have changed. I'm thinking about getting a tablet computer; what would you recommend? Price isn't a major factor, as I'd expect to keep it for some time, though I don't want to break the bank... I'm currently using a desktop running windows 7, recently brought up to date by computer-savvy son, and I have a Samsung Galaxy smart phone which is due for an upgrade in a couple of weeks; I'd like to be able to sync the three items if that's feasible.

Why do you want a Tablet.? It will never perform as well as a real Computer/Laptop.

As your phone is an Android I'd suggest an Android tablet - there are plenty to choose from. The hardest choice for me was the size - I couldn't decide if I wanted a smaller tablet or a big one.

If you like your Samsung phone have a look at Samsung tablets. Not suggest you buy from this site but they are displayed well here:

I meant to say that my android tablet syncs with my phone and Windows computers.

I have kindle fire hdx..great for shoving in handbag...
About six months ago I bought an iPad mini from Asda for £169.00 and I absolutely love it.
It is lightweight enough to go in my handbag, and when I travel, I can download a pile of stuff from the BBC iplayer.
Keep an eye open on John Lewis. They often price match but also give you two years cover as well.

Thanks, everyone. I'll have a look at all the links. HansUrbancka, it's for convenience and movability really, particularly for googling when I'm not at home.
I think "convenience and movability" is why most people choose tablets. If I can carry it in my bag or small backpack and I'm not limited in where I can use it...great.
As a supplement to a real PC I can sort of see it. But I can't see it as a replacement. I get by with a "smart" phone and a real PC. I'd consider a tablet for the bedroom to watch films but their price and uninspiring resolution means I can't be tempted yet. IMO one needs at least a 10" screen to be comfortable viewing anything. The "smart" phone size is not ideal.
I prefer my smaller 7" tablet because it can be comfortably held in one hand.
