Please suggest-Laptop or Tablet?

Go for a mini laptop, at least it'll have Windows, you'll be able to use the system as a computer even after the trip and using a Windows OS is much easier than using some other OS installed on a tablet. As far as brand is concerned, you can buy Compaq, it's better than Dell and IBM and cheaper than other HP laptops. If you can install OS by yourself, buy a laptop that doesn't have a pre-installed OS, this will save approximately 5000 rupee.

Well, you can go in for a tablet itself, as most of the tablets nowadays have a "transformer" capability, wherein you can attach them with a detachable or foldable keyboard which either comes built-in within the body of the device or comes as a separate attachment which is sold separately. If you want to view your movies in it, you can take it in the tablet mode, or if you want to write in some sites, you can whip up the keyboard and use it in notebook mode. The Lenovo Yoga seemed pretty good to me in this regard.

As your priority is to carry a lighter gadget while travelling, and given that your major work with that would be just surfing and writing, tablet is the best option. But since you already have a laptop, it's better if you think about the utility of a tablet after you return from the trip!! Anyway, I think you can go for Micromax tablet available now at around Rs 5000, or Samsung Galaxy tab, Note and the newly launched Samsung Galaxy Grand at around Rs 21000.

Well I understand that you do prefer something light and if that is the only thing you are worried about then choose the tablet. But please remember it is more efficient to type on a laptop. But as far as I can see you already have a laptop so I don't see the sense of getting a lighter laptop to just go on a trip. So i recommend the tablet. Sorry if I cant recommend brands though because the only tablets I am interested in are Ipads. I don't think you would be so much interested in that.

In my opinion, it seems to be better for you to have a netbook with you for your tour. Why would I recommend netbook instead of tablet? There are several reasons. Let us start with the price. A netbook nowadays cost a lot cheaper than it was, it is also cheaper than most tablets. Next, a netbook has more functions compared to a tablet. And as you are doing work which requires you to write a lot, a netbook is easier for typing compared to tablet. Not to forget the weight of a netbook can be as light as one kilogram.

I would reccomend you to have windows 8 tablets.

HI rolly! You could try Samsung tablet, which should be around 10K to 15k. Else, you could go for Glaxy Note II, which you could carry very conveniently and I hope you could use it for your on line work. It will cost around 36000/-. Alternatively, you could buy Micromax version of Glaxy Note II which will cost you around Rs.11000/- with same features as those of Samsung version.

I suggest go for a Laptop which is equipped with windows OS more user friendly.When it comes to laptop dell inspiron 15r is my choice which is stylish and rich with more features.I have bought it from http://where-to-buy.in the best corner to enjoy your shopping along with Top Brands!!

Well,i would suggest you the laptop and not tablet.This is purely based on what you have written over here.Tablet is meant for browsing, but it would be slightly inconvenient for typing.There are few ones with USB but then it will be inconvenient in some ways.Tablet helps for quick browsing and its like smartphones.With Laptop,you can be multipurpose with things.There are lightweight laptops available.Since you are looking at lightweight and also support during travelling, i would go for Dell.Dell gives home business support across the world.They come to your home and fixes the things as long as you have the warantee or guarantee.With regards to the brands,model or price, i would suggest you to check indiaplaza, flipkart. These are based on your interests and your budget.And all these vary from person to person.But Dell should be good.But if you are looking at cost part, i think you need to check others ones like Toshiba or acer.Look for a laptop which works for long term.Hope you understand.Thanks!

well yeah tablet will do what want to do as you have mentioned in your post. A tablet is lightweight as compared to a laptop. I myself use a Samsung tablet and that is equivalent to a laptop. I hope that is going to help you a lot.

I had the same problem, and I have to say that it depends on what you're going to use it for. If you want to take notes at university or at work you should buy a laptop because it has a keyboard and it is easy to use. I think tablets aren't useful for working, but they are less heavy. For a laptop I would use ASUS and for a tablet I would choose windows surface.

dear friend, i have worked for more than 1 year in the field of tablet pc business. My suggestion for you is to buy one tablet pc 7 inch or 9.7 inch or the size as you want, as now the tablets are easy to bring and can also satisfy the demand of network, skype video chatting, phone call,etc, it will be very convenient for you to use, thanks.
