Hi guys, is there anyone who can help me to decide which is better to buy, a netbook or a samsung tablet? For the netbook the reason I like it because I want to use it in the office where you can find MS office and other office programs. That's all. But in the samsung tablet, what I want there, it is a portable. I mean it is more lighter and slimmer. I am thinking if there's a netbook that can make it tablet just like detachable. Kindly help me.

I am using another brand of tablet and there's an office suit pre installed when I bought it. I tried to use the excel for my financial tracking and it work just fine. I think you can download the office suit for an android gadget from the app store. The only thing I hate about it is, I can't type fast and properly because the keypad is too sensitive, it takes too much time.

May I know what brand of gadget you are using? Yes I agree with you that sometimes its difficult to type because touch screen gadget is quite sensitive.

Hi ! I have seen a tablet with a detachable keyboard ,it is an Acer brand. Tablet is so convenient to use though lying in bed we can still use it. Good thing about it if it is a 3G then we can connect to internet anywhere and anytime . I got a Samsung tab 2 , it has superb power. You'll really love its specs , a great help for people who have online works.

I think you should go for an 'all in one' thing, which is available with your budget. It is a fact that if finding with a few features, we should not change the handset most often. If we have all facilities and comes under our budget, it is better to go for it and now we have everything in the market and you better spend some time on research on the net and finalise on which you like to buy.
thank-s

Consider what really you need. For tablet it’s portable so it would be one advantage. If you will be using it anywhere and everywhere, you may consider using tablet. But if you’re going to open heavy programs or mainly will be using it for your office, then having netbook will be required for you. So just consider what are you going to need.

If you need microsoft office, why don't you get a Microsoft Surface tablet. It comes with microsoft office and it is portable.
Netbook is passe. Although I like the Samsung tablet, I would still choose the Surface if I really needed MS Office.
I think they do not differ much in price.

Hi earningdollarsonline ;)
My suggestion is to know your lifestyle. If always connected, I mean always using a gadget, better opt the portable one like the tablet. It can also do what the laptop/netbook can do. Plus, it's already a phone so multi-use is an advantage. You can choose the netbook if you're more of a writer because it is easier to type using a keyboard instead of a touchscreen. Decide on your lifestyle, choose a gadget, be happy. Good luck! ;)
