Sup guys
so I'm looking at finally buying a tablet for school. So yeah since this is for school I prefer to be able to use it like a laptop (having a external keyboard to type shit).

The Infinity is what I'm personally leaning on because I think it fits my needs perfectly and overall it's an amazing tablet, the keyboard on it is sick as fuck too.

but I've been looking at the Nexus 10 as well and it looks great too. I could probably find a dock for it and I already own a portable tablet bluetooth keyboard so I can use that (but it doesn't act as a dock).

If you don't think I should go with either then vote Other and post here what you think I should buy and why. No iPad please. I hate Apple.

Appreciate it fellas

I already have a laptop and I just like the more portability of tablets. I also like how easily textbooks are readable on tablets than laptops so that's also another big thing that I like about tablets. I'm for sure going to buy a tablet, just dunno which. they are all so similar in a good way and I'm just kind of in between the Nexus 10 and Infinity ><

it would be pratical to take pictures instead of writing down junk when in-class ( just gotta re write them down in afterwards tho ) & do language homework on it
i only used a tablet once just to do one of my english homework since i live far from my school .

yeah I know, it's easier going through them on a tablet from my experience using them and the text just looks much clearer and better. But I mean I'm not buying a tablet JUST because of textbooks.. I've been wanting a tablet.

I would, but my state (not sure if it's nationally or just my state) is trying to pass a law where if you buy shit from online it will be taxed.. so I kind of wanted to do it soon before that law passed :S
I'm going back to school August 5th
